As we approach the 25th anniversary of the fatal day that permanently altered American civilization, experts say national memory is in jeopardy. Heritage Foundation Fellow Corey DeAngelis told The Washington Stand that he believes these are the stakes when it comes to preserving the truth about September 11, 2001. "Kids need to know who hit us, why they hit us, and how first responders ran toward the fire," he insisted.

Returning to the podcast we have Grace Drexel, whose father Pastor Ezra Jin of Zion Church in China was recently released from prison after President Donald Trump personally made the request to China's communist leader, Xi Xinping.

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... What is the state of the battle for parental rights in education? What battles has President Trump won, and where are we still seeing resistance? On the gender issue specifically, how is this playing out in education in Virginia and nationally? (locker rooms, transitioning kids without parental consent, etc.) Why is abortion is on the rise in Virginia and the nation?

The U.S. military has "successfully destroyed 10 Iranian tankers in just the last week," U.S. Central Command announced Wednesday, marking a steep escalation in President Trump's declared strategy of "Economic Warfare and Isolation" of the Islamist regime. "These vessels were part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC, and Iran cannot defend them."

Third Way centrist Democrats seeking to reassert their bygone influence are pushing 20 "ruthlessly pragmatic" ideas they claim will provide "a new economic bargain" to "change the lives of working Americans," who work hard but don't get ahead, apparently thanks to President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress.

A government cybersecurity advisory has revealed that several China-based AI companies are stealing artificial intelligence technology from American companies that pioneered the technology. Experts say the Trump administration must utilize commerce policies and sanctions to impose consequences on the Chinese entities involved in the theft.

President Donald Trump wants to leave his mark on maps. The real estate mogul-turned-president has long understood the symbolism in plastering his name on buildings, but now he is increasingly imposing America's name on geographic entities. But symbolism matters less than substance, and the president's energies would be more usefully employed in pursuit of the substance behind the slogan he made famous, "Make America Great Again."

Cuba is again in darkness. Failures of the national electrical grid have disrupted homes, hospitals, and businesses, while shortages of food, fuel, and medicine deepen an already severe crisis. These breakdowns reveal an exhausted political and economic system. They also expose a deeper danger: If change comes to Cuba, repairing power plants, opening markets, and rewriting laws will not be enough.

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.

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.

On September 5, two very different warnings about artificial intelligence appeared, raising a question more important than whether a machine will someday become conscious.

Whenever we hear the Left complain about the "religious neutrality" of the State, curiously, the outcry moves in only one direction: silencing Christian expressions in the public sphere. We saw this again, in full color, in August, when the Fifth Labor Circuit Court of Bogotá ordered Colombia's new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, to offer a public apology and commit to "guaranteeing" religious neutrality in future official events.

The rise in socialist candidates comes as a generation that never saw the Iron Curtain increasingly sees socialism as nothing more than a government-provided safety net. But history warns that when government becomes powerful enough to guarantee equality, the safety net can become a net from which there is no escape.
