While the media and Democrats continue to proclaim that President Trump and Republicans have "extreme" views about abortion (or what they like to call "reproductive rights"), here are essential things for voters to know.

One day ahead of her debate with former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled a policy agenda that could compel Christian businesses to participate in abortion and LGBT events that violate biblical morality, sign a national abortion expansion bill, pack the Supreme Court, give amnesty to the entire illegal immigrant population of the United States, strip law-abiding U.S. citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process, double-down on inflationary economic policies, continue criminal lawfare against Trump, and promote universal daycare.

Attending church services may open the door to eternal life - but it will also extend your life on Earth more than diet or exercise, according to the foremost expert on global longevity.

This Monday, Americans are closer to Election Day than to the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, which exposed glaring failures on the part of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). Eight weeks later, the embattled agency has solved none of its problems - including its severe manpower shortage. Undeterred, the USSS is planning to take personnel away from urgent security duties to send them to an LGBT networking conference at Disney World. Priorities are priorities!

Last week, a talk show guest propounded a theory so bizarre on a platform so prominent that it was sure to draw attention. During a convivial appearance on "The Tucker Carlson Show," podcaster Darryl Cooper declared that "Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War." Cooper alleged that Churchill despised Nazi peace offers, prolonged the war, dragged other nations into it, and was therefore ultimately responsible for millions of civilian casualties - insinuating vague connections to Jewish interests throughout. Undaunted by blowback, Cooper doubled down on this heterodox view last Tuesday in a thread of over 50 tweets on X.

The Harris-Walz campaign is blaming former President Donald Trump for the Biden-Harris administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, saying Trump left "zero plans for an orderly withdrawal." The comments came days ahead of the release of a new congressional report that concluded that the Biden-Harris administration was "willfully blind" to a series of warnings from military officials on the ground in Afghanistan not to withdraw troops quickly, leading to widespread chaos and the death of 13 U.S. military servicemembers, among other consequences.

As presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Kamala Harris approach their first debate on Tuesday, their campaigns have unveiled economic policies that seem in some ways diametrically opposed - and only one could stimulate "robust economic growth," a leading economist has warned.

If you're wondering why Kamala Harris is outperforming expectations, a new poll might explain it. According to a survey from McLaughlin and Associates, most Americans have no idea what the vice president stands for. (And her campaign is certainly in no hurry to tell them.) Incredibly, "large majorities" of registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden four years ago "are mostly in the dark about many of the controversial and radical positions Harris has taken," researchers explain. And the Left is more than happy to ride that ignorance all the way to the White House.

Congressional Republicans say House leadership will likely attach a bill to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in U.S. elections - a bill Republicans say is necessary for the "protection of citizenship and our national sovereignty"- to a must-pass government funding bill as a precondition for avoiding a government shutdown.

The Trump conundrum is now well understood. Though his positions and decisions as president were surprisingly good in some ways, his self-centeredness, history of crudeness, and penchant for insults have led many to say their Christian conscience won't allow them to vote for him. A growing number claim their Christian conscience is so offended by Trump they feel compelled to vote for Kamala Harris to ensure Trump doesn't take office. "Evangelicals for Harris," a group that recently hosted a Zoom call attended by 200,000, declares on their X bio they are "voting for someone who better reflects Christian values." 

The Founding Fathers intended the United States to be a shining city on a hill, a beacon of righteousness to attract other nations to trust and follow the Lord. But increasingly, America serves as another sort of example: proof of God's judgment on the unrighteous. Specific promises of divine wrath seem confirmed by the daily headlines - and I should know, because I write them - especially on the topic of illegal immigration.
