It's back to school season, and the war for our kids is underway. Joining Host Casey Harper is Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia, the largest and oldest pro-family advocacy organization in Virginia. Together they discuss...

(locker rooms, transitioning kids without parental consent, etc.) Why is abortion is on the rise in Virginia and the nation?

On this week&rsquo;s podcast, Jared Bridges, Editor in Chief of the Washington Stand and Bob Maginnis, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, AI expert and author join Casey Harper to discuss artificial intelligence. OpenAI&rsquo;s model broke out of the lab and hacked another model! How important is this latest Open AI &ldquo;escape&rdquo; and hacking? Is AI a good thing or a bad thing? Some are saying A.I. feels like the end of days, like Biblical prophecies coming to life. Do you agree? Given all that, should Christians be using AI?

Is socialism biblical? Editor for the Journal of Markets and Morality Peter Jacobsen doesn't think so. "The idea of Christian socialism is a bit of an oxymoron," he said during an appearance on "Washington Watch" on Wednesday. "[It's a] self-contradiction, because I think socialism and Christianity, to some extent, are in competition about the nature of man, the nature of the world, [and] the nature of the problem we face."

For many of my articles, I try to provide answers. Or at the very least, I try to explore several possible answers to a tough question and in the process, expand our wisdom together. For this article, though, I only have a question - a question I don't hear anyone else asking. But I can't get it out of my head. The question is: We don't make many of our most important goods in the U.S. anymore. Isn't this a major national security threat?

Spanning throughout the U.S. and within the midst of the country's medical education and residency programs, a silent ideological cleansing is occurring. For centuries, the Hippocratic Oath has existed as medicine's north star of morality, an unwavering promise to preserve human life. Today, that honored commitment has become a career-ending liability.

The New York-based company Mayday.Health is advertising illegal abortion procedures in Kentucky, state Attorney General Russell Coleman (R) alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday. "These out of state activists are not only breaking Kentucky law, they seem to delight in rubbing our faces in it," Coleman said. "We refuse to allow Mayday to taint our values and put our people at risk."

It happened twice. Both times, a genetic counselor calmly told my wife and me, "I want you to be aware of all your options, including termination." For months, those conversations have replayed in my mind, bringing back the initial emotions of shock, anger, and horror. Now, as my wife and I prepare to meet our son in a matter of weeks, his story is already a testament to God's power and faithfulness.

A rare natural disaster struck remote regions of Nepal and China last Wednesday, and casualty counts continue to climb. The death toll is sobering. The strange nature of the incident is even more so. In this sobering moment, Scripture gives Christians uniquely wise counsel on how to respond to tragedies. "It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart" (Ecclesiastes 7:2). So let us visit the house of mourning in the next few paragraphs.

The Year of the Democratic Socialists took another twist Tuesday when the House went on the offensive to paint Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries's (D-N.Y.) party as a dangerous force of anti-Americanism. While the New Yorker has desperately tried to put some distance between Democrats and the DSA (somewhat unsuccessfully, others would add), the party's drift toward mind-boggling radicalism is putting the entire country on edge.

The House had a wild week for what was supposed to be a quick stopover in Washington between district work. And while most Americans don't pay attention to the nitty-gritty of Congress, these last few days have been a real eye-opener on the things Democrats will do if they win the majority. And rejecting socialism isn't one of them. 

As overdose deaths and ruined lives pile up, there is growing outcry in the U.S. over the massive spread of intoxicating hemp and cannabinoid products, colloquially known as "gas station weed," as well as highly potent "natural" opioids like kratom. Experts say the unregulated drugs must be reined in before the public health crisis widens further.

A Jewish man named Daniel hosted a prayer meeting in his house, but local authorities didn't like it. They forbade the prayer meeting from happening. They sent police to watch his house. His neighbors didn't like his Jewish beliefs either, so they joined the authorities in snooping on him. This may sound like the persecution of the Old Testament prophet, who nearly became lion food under a draconian law in the ancient dictatorship of the Persian Empire. But it actually describes the experience of Daniel Grand, a Jewish resident in post-COVID Ohio.
