For decades, the dominant narrative around American religion has been one of steady decline, particularly among younger generations. Young men, often described as adrift in a post-industrial, digital-age culture, appeared to be leading the exodus from organized faith. Gallup and Pew data consistently showed rising rates of religious "nones" (those with no religious affiliation), with young adults at the forefront.

Virginia just joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, pushing the total to 222 electoral votes. This brings the left one step closer to effectively abolishing the Electoral College through the back door, without the constitutional amendment the Founders required. What sounds like a simple “one person, one vote” reform is actually a direct assault on federalism, the sovereignty of states, and the careful balance the Framers built to prevent raw majority tyranny.

As NASA successfully sent American astronauts around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission in over half a century, conservatives rightly celebrated a bold, forward-looking achievement that recaptured the pioneering spirit of Apollo. Yet this moment of national pride throws into stark relief a grotesque disparity in how Washington and the states squander taxpayer dollars. One venture pushed the boundaries of human ingenuity for the benefit of all mankind; the other is a state-level vanity project that's devoured more money than it could ever justify, all while begging for federal bailouts on a matter of purely local concern.

There’s something almost surreal about watching rockets launch into the heavens while everyday Americans feel increasingly grounded; burdened by rising costs, cultural instability, and a sense that the world closer to home is unraveling.

There was a time when NATO stood as one of the most formidable alliances in human history—a bulwark against tyranny, a symbol of Western unity, and a strategic deterrent that helped win the Cold War without firing a shot on European soil.

As geopolitical tensions rise once again in the Middle East, recent rhetoric from Turkey’s leadership toward Israel has captured global attention.

Rubio's message is clear: The United States will no longer serve as a luxury resort for the relatives and ideological cheerleaders of terrorist regimes that hate us. Afshar, the niece of the late Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC commander responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, openly celebrated attacks on U.S. forces and branded America the “Great Satan” while living lavishly on American soil.

In a video circulating this week, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani outlined how state money for childcare would be directed first to "Black and brown" families. This isn't subtle policy nuance; it's explicit racial prioritization of public resources. As Libby Emmons rightly noted, it "seems discriminatory." It is discriminatory; and it exposes the deep flaw in the progressive vision of economic justice.
