The Western world has been admirably united in opposing Russia's war in Ukraine. A new report, however, indicates that Christians may have more of a stake in the conflict than previously realized.

Some people seem to make a career of attacking America's heroes. This is not to say anyone is above criticism or that our admiration for exceptional people should go from respect to reverence. Instead, there is a difference between dealing honestly with the flaws of the great and using those flaws to justify degrading them.

After any election, the true winners and losers are reflected not merely by the tally of votes received but how they are perceived by the public. Here is a brief guide now that the dust has settled on this month's midterm elections. 

Without a doubt, 2022 has been a year of monumental victories for the unborn. This year brought with it unimaginable joy as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade - the white whale of the pro-life movement - and over half of the country began protecting unborn lives at some point in gestation. The recent midterm elections, however, have left some Republicans blaming the half-hearted "red wave" on the Dobbs decision.

While the Biden administration has been spinning the border crisis as a natural disaster - after months of refusing to even acknowledge the existence of a crisis - House Republicans have argued otherwise, calling the crisis a man-made disaster that is the result of the Biden administration rescinding proven border security measures and implementing catch-and-release policies.

After every national election, the parties represented by an elephant and a donkey desperately seek a third mascot: a scapegoat. This year, both parties have selected a most appropriate sacrifice: the unborn. The Big Business-uber-alles wing of the GOP has made Lindsey Graham's bill, which would protect most (but not all) unborn children at 15 weeks, the unique object of its hatred. 

When Disney CEO Bob Chapek sent a memo to senior leaders Friday explaining that the company was "going to have to make tough and uncomfortable decisions," he had no idea just how uncomfortable they were about to become. Less than two days later, the ax fell in his own office, ending one of the most tumultuous chapters in Disney history. Chapek, who'd been a polarizing figure from the get-go, was out - and no one was more surprised than him.

America has increasingly defined itself as a land that lives by fictions. One of the most pervasive lies insists that Americans support same-sex marriage by ever-increasing margins. But occasionally, one of the media's myths runs into a contradictory reality that people know is true in their bones. The belief that married people should not have sex with anyone except their spouse comes as close to a universally accepted truth as this country can muster. That sets public support for same-sex marriage on a collision course with itself.

According to new post-midterm polling, American voters under 30 are gradually becoming less liberal. On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk tweeted about Morning Consult survey numbers indicating a 13-point drop in young voters voting liberal in the last five years.

With Obergefell, the Supreme Court made gay marriage the law of the land and mandated that government institutions and processes could make no legal distinctions between adult romantic relationships. Two married men cannot be treated any differently than a married man and woman. Indeed, from the perspective of adult emotional fulfillment, there may be no distinction. But from the child's perspective, these two couplings are polar opposites.

As pressure ramps up on the Democrats' same-sex marriage bill, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) is teaming up with 20 of his colleagues to demand that the party's 12 deserters reconsider their position before the next vote. "The free exercise of religion is absolutely essential to the health of our Republic," Lee wrote in a "Dear Colleague" letter first obtained by The Daily Signal. "We must have the courage to protect it."
