31+ min ago (635+ words) When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Nov. 21 she will be resigning her seat in the House of Representatives effective Jan. 5, 2026, it marked the culmination of a fusillade between the Georgia congresswoman and President Donald Trump and sent shock waves throughout the MAGA movement. One underappreciated aspect of Greene's departure from Capitol Hill is the effect it could have on Republicans in Congress voting on one of their key campaign promises. Greene had introduced the Protect Children's Innocence Act in previous sessions of Congress with some differences, but the current version of this bill somewhat reflects the executive order issued by Trump just days into his second term. But the rift between Greene and the president, and now Greene's resignation, have left many on Capitol Hill asking what comes next for the legislation. "I've always represented the common American…...

KANAWHA COUNTY, West Virginia'Steve Lipscomb was a son, a father, a husband, a Marine, a man of faith, and a coal miner. Ten days ago, Lipscomb and his crew encountered an unknown pocket of water when a "sudden and substantial" flood sent millions of gallons into the Rolling Thunder Mine. Lipscomb lived up to his life of service, faith, family and community by ensuring his entire crew made it out safely. Officials said that as Lipscomb finished evacuating his crew, rising water filled the shaft so rapidly that he, the last man remaining, had no way out. It was the last time he was seen. After five days of round-the-clock, hazardous search…...

2+ hour, 3+ min ago (470+ words) Joshua Arnold is a staff writer at The Washington Stand, contributing both news and commentary from a biblical worldview. According to the survey, weekly Bible reading among all U.S. adults rose sharply this year to 42%, but only 36% of U.S. adults said the Bible was 100% accurate. Likewise, the percentage of self-identified Christians who read the Bible weekly climbed to 50%, but only 44% of self-identified Christians fully affirmed its accuracy. Not that affirming the Bible's accuracy must be a prerequisite to reading it regularly. On the contrary, one hopes that every day more unbelievers are picking up and reading the Bible as an early step on the road to believing in Jesus. But it seems unlikely that fully 6% of U.S. adults fall into this class, and it is definitionally impossible for 6% of Christians to be unbelievers. A more likely explanation is that some Americans have some…...

3+ hour, 42+ min ago (832+ words) Donald Trump and Elon Musk, in Brownsville, Texas, on Nov. 19, 2024 . (Brandon Bell/Pool/REUTERS) President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have proven they have a successful media strategy to make the case for a second round of DOGE, they just need to implement it. A few weeks ago, it might have been inconceivable for the two to pair up again, but the president and the CEO seem to have mended their rift from the summer, and this may bode well for a second round of DOGE. Americans broadly support rooting waste, fraud, and abuse out of the federal government, but the DOGE effort got an undeserved bad rap, and as a conservative journalist, I have some advice on how to revitalize the image and promote a potential second round. First, the good news: Americans support DOGE's goal. A…...

16+ hour, 33+ min ago (1174+ words) Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's office twice asserted that a slate of alternate electors contesting the 2020 election was legal before bringing criminal charges on the matter in the heat of a presidential election in 2024, based on memos referenced in court filings. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump pardoned the alternate electors among more than 70 people involved in challenging the 2020 election. However, Kaul'and other Democrat prosecutors'vowed to continue the state prosecutions." The two assertions from Kaul's office undermine the forgery and fraud case brought by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, according to defense filings by Jim Troupis, a former state judge and veteran Republican election lawyer who was charged last year with forgery for advising the alternate electors."Troupis settled the case in 2024 with no admission of wrongdoing.

In her resignation letter Greene compared herself to a "battered wife" and complained that she felt unwelcomed in Washington and disliked by both sides of the political aisle. As President Harry Truman famously said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." In the case of the Georgia representative, I suppose it would be "dawg." Adding to the campy flavor of it all: Trump responded to the news by saying…...
