The Southern Poverty Law Center has raised money for decades claiming to dismantle white supremacy, but it funneled millions of dollars to white nationalist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, according to a federal indictment handed down Tuesday.

Host Casey Harper is joined by Katy Talento to explore the idea of &ldquo;rewilding our boys.&rdquo; In today&rsquo;s culture, young boys are often criticized for being too loud, too energetic, simply, too boyish. Katy emphasizes the importance of giving boys the freedom to play without constant restriction, allowing them to test their limits, take risks, and discover their own strength. The two also touch on the role women play in shaping boys&rsquo; environments, particularly in schools and daycares, where they are often the ones setting rules and boundaries.

All eyes are on the shifting political landscape of the state of Virginia. Although she ran as a moderate, newly elected governor, Abigail Spanberger, has proven to be more left leaning than she originally let on. Host Casey Harper is joined by FRC Action's Matt Carpenter and The Washington Stand's Mark Tapscott to discuss the political bait and switch happening with Virginia's newly elected governor. The three analyze the suggested state redistricting, potential policy outcomes, and the governor's very low polling numbers.&nbsp;

Has Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officially been shut down or has it simply been renamed? Host Casey Harper is joined by the director of research at the National Association of Scholars, David Randall, to discuss the current state of DEI within our culture. The two break down how DEI views the world through power and group identity, why younger generations keep pushing it forward, and how schools may be keeping it alive by changing names instead of removing it.

As America nears its 250th birthday &ndash; the country is at a crossroads. The founders had a vision for this country, but is that vision still alive? Still relevant? Host Casey Harper is joined by professor and author, Dr. Matthew Spalding, to reflect on America&rsquo;s past and future. The American founders put their lives on the line to protect truth and freedom. Today&rsquo;s America looks very different than 1776, and many are wondering if the country will ever fully turn back to the founding ideals? Are the Constitution and Declaration of Independence still relevant? The two dive deep into those questions as well as details of the founding documents and the impact of the relationship between revelation and reason.

As America nears its 250th birthday - the country is at a crossroads. The founders had a vision for this country, but is that vision still alive? Still relevant? Host Casey Harper is joined by professor and author, Matthew Spalding, to reflect on America's past and future. The American founders put their lives on the line to protect truth and freedom. Today's America looks very different than 1776, and many are wondering if the country will ever fully turn back to the founding ideals? Are the Constitution and Declaration of Independence still relevant? The two dive deep into those questions as well as details of the founding documents and the impact of the relationship between revelation and reason.

Congress could be near an unprecedented and likely explosive disclosure of information contained in a massive pile of documents concerning sexual misconduct allegations lodged against members of the House of Representatives, as well as the taxpayer-funded settlement payments made on their behalf.

At the outset of the month, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case Trump v. Barbara and is now weighing whether or not to uphold President Donald Trump's executive order terminating "birthright citizenship." There are a number of practical reasons to uphold the order: Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials and illegal immigrants have taken advantage of "birthright citizenship," effectively gaming the system to nab U.S. citizenship for the children of those who are openly hostile to the U.S. and those who wantonly disregard the nation's laws.

Rumors have swirled that the U.S. Supreme Court's two most conservative-aligned members may retire soon in a bid to allow President Donald Trump to appoint another originalist, conservative-aligned justice while he still has a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate. According to multiple reports, however, neither of the long-serving justices has any plans to step down.

The god of this world tries to blind us from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). He hates the light, and he's always trying to keep us in darkness. He loves for our culture to stay in its dark, bland, gray room, unconcerned with Hamlet's statement that there might be more to things than what we dream of.  But every once in a while, you get something so profound in the mainstream media, the light bursts into the room, almost leaving you breathless.

Virginians head to the polls on Tuesday to vote on a new Democratic-drawn congressional map for November's midterm elections that could flip four Republican seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, after both parties spent tens of millions of dollars in a campaign over the referendum.

When GOP leaders braced themselves for the trip back to D.C. after recess, they expected a mess - just not this one. In the last 48 hours, a full-blown ethics crisis has gripped the Hill, triggered by revelations that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) was likely guilty of sexual misconduct, harassment, and "predatory behavior" against staffers and other women. But the Californian's fall from grace is far from the only scandal consuming Congress right now, as a string of other allegations of everything from fraud, theft, domestic violence, and extramarital affairs overshadow members. The distractions aren't what House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had in mind for hitting the ground running in April, but with the disgrace threatening to upend Washington, inaction isn't an option.

"A blockade of Iranian ports has been fully implemented as U.S. forces maintain maritime superiority in the Middle East," announced Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), on Wednesday. "U.S. forces have completely halted economic trade going in and out of Iran by sea." After Iran illegally threatened commercial traffic through one of the world's busiest maritime throughfares, the U.S. military is finally giving Iran a taste of its own medicine - and the early results are splendid.

It's the most lethal company no one's ever heard of - and also, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) warns, the most secretive. If you asked most Americans what Danco Laboratories is or what it manufactures, only a handful of people would be able to identify it as one of the biggest producers of the abortion pill mifepristone. In fact, that's the only drug that the company makes. And the reason you don't know anything about it is because the leftist population control activists who started the business want it that way.

Ask any Virginian what day they're most looking forward to this month, and they'll probably say April 22. That's when the constant barrage of political ads over the state's redistricting measure will finally stop. For weeks, voters have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about the ballot initiative being decided next Tuesday, featuring everyone from Barack Obama to gray-haired veterans. It's about "fairness," the Left argues - if by "fairness," they mean handing complete control of the Commonwealth to Democrats.

During the 2026 election cycle, you'll hear this word "conservative" tossed around. What does it really mean? In my opinion, the late Russell Kirk spelled it out better than just about anyone. This all-but-forgotten man laid out 10 principles of conservative thought that many seem to have forgotten. See how many you might agree with.
