Canada's so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program isn't just failing vulnerable people - it's actively betraying them. Time and again, it delivers fresh, horrifying proof that euthanasia is not compassion, but a moral nightmare dressed as mercy. Yet far too many still look away. Why?

How do we define what is? Host Casey Harper is joined by author and pastor, David Schrock, and The Washington Stand&rsquo;s Jared Bridges to unpack how Christians can begin to define the world the way God originally created it.

The Hyde Amendment is crucial - it protects taxpayers from being forced to fund abortion and upholds the dignity of human life. So why is President Trump asking Congress to be "flexible" when it comes to Hyde? To discuss this, host Casey Harper is joined by Chuck Donovan, a pro-life expert who has been in the fight for over 20 years. Having served in the Reagan administration, Chuck details how the Hyde Amendment came to be, what it entails, and the dangers of removing it. The two also unpack the recent actions of the Trump administration and what is causing the sudden shift away from protecting life.

After years of uncertain waiting, months of outraged pleading, and weeks of fretful searching, Israel has finally recovered the body of the last hostage taken into Gaza by Islamist terrorists on October 7, 2023. The moment turns a page in Israel's defensive war against Iran's network of jihadi proxies. Now that the last hostage's remains have been recovered, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can turn his full attention to Israel's other war aim: ensuring that an attack like October 7 can never happen again.

A Maryland county council has discontinued its long-time tradition of beginning meetings by reciting the Lord's Prayer after receiving warning letters to stop the practice from the atheist activist group Freedom from Religion Foundation. But legal experts say that the county council is well within its constitutional rights to continue the practice.

After months of negotiations, President Donald Trump and a coalition of the willing formally ratified a charter for the much-discussed Board of Peace on Thursday, alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Following a U.N. Security Council vote in November 2025 that authorized an international peacekeeping force for Gaza, the charter lays the next diplomatic puzzle piece of Trump's vision for a post-Hamas Gaza.

During 2025, the support of evangelicals for other actions of independent civil society against Castroist policies continued unabated. In June 2025, the state telecommunications monopoly, ETECSA, announced a drastic increase in internet and mobile phone rates, and a covert partial dollarization of mobile service by promoting plans in foreign currencies (to which the average Cuban did not have access). Understandably, this created considerable displeasure and social unrest.

Greenland, Venezuela, and the president's spat with Canada may have stolen the world's attention, but the real revelation may be what's happening here at home. With the snow on its way and no time to spare, House Republicans accomplished what hasn't been done since America's top movie was "Titanic" and dial-up AOL was still cutting-edge technology: they finished a federal budget - just like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) promised they would.

For those tracking the chaos in Minnesota, here's a detail that might shed some light on the lawlessness of state officials, like the attorney general. To qualify to be attorney general of Minnesota, you must: 1) be a qualified voter, 2) be at least 21, and 3) be a resident of the state for at least 30 days. For those watching the attorney general's response after protestors barged into a church last Sunday and disrupted a worship service, this probably doesn't surprise you. In Minnesota, you don't have to be a lawyer - or even know the law - to be attorney general. Even though he is an attorney, that helps explain how Keith Ellison got the job without a) knowing the law, or b) being able to read it.

Unsubstantiated claims abound after Border Patrol agents shot and killed a man during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Saturday. Within hours of the incident - and before any investigation was conducted - officials on both sides had already concluded that the shooting was either justified self-defense or an execution, depending on their partisan affiliation. But rendering a verdict before all the facts are known is prejudice, not justice. True justice, as God himself shows in Scripture, establishes the facts first.

To the collective relief of the West, Donald Trump's almost manic obsession with Greenland took a more reasonable turn Wednesday during the president's speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Usually a global afterthought, the 836,000-square-mile island has been the nexus of the world's attention for weeks, thanks to the White House's intense - some would say unhinged - desire to acquire the icy land mass. But now, after threatening everything from a military invasion to economic retribution to get America's hands on the property, Trump finally said the words that never should have been on the table in the first place: "I won't use force." 

A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Saturday, local and federal officials said, the second such incident this month during a surge in immigration enforcement in the northern U.S. city that residents and local politicians have fiercely protested.
