President Donald Trump called on Americans to "recommit" to resolve their differences peacefully after a shooter disrupted the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday evening. The Secret Service took a gunman into custody after he ran past a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton. The gunman shot a Secret Service agent, but did not wound him, before law enforcement subdued him and took him into custody.

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?

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.

Minutes after White House Correspondents Association President Weijia Jiang sat down to the left of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump after giving a speech at the annual WHCA dinner, shots were fired. Jiang, a senior White House Correspondent for CBS News, was quickly escorted out of the room along with the president and first lady by members of the Secret Service who reporters described as jumping on tables to lead government officials to safety.

Underneath the flashy drama of international diplomacy, federal operatives perform thousands of challenging assignments that will never make the news unless something goes horribly wrong. Not every bureaucratic job is created equal, but a healthy slice of them do contribute to the federal government's primary mission: keeping Americans safe from foreign bad guys. As a string of recent incidents shows, such foreign threats are real, and the Trump administration is responding effectively.

America is living through a new "social media moment" as new technology platforms flatten out social distinctions in new ways - and not for the better. Two decades ago, social media platforms ushered in a new era of American politics and media, bypassing established gatekeepers and allowing anyone with an opinion to broadcast it to the world. Now, prediction markets and similar betting platforms offer the same sort of unrestricted access to something that should be restricted: insider trading.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has followed through on an executive order issued by President Donald Trump in December directing federal agencies to lift legal restrictions on marijuana, despite strong warnings from medical experts over the damaging societal impact of the narcotic.

Cook County, Illinois - home to Chicago and numerous suburbs - is losing population as individuals and families seek safer, more prosperous locales, and in the process, take with them billions of dollars in taxable income, according to IRS data analyzed by Open the Books (OTB).

While the rest of the world is glued to the deadline President Trump set for Iran's cooperation, there's still no sign of a truce back home. In one of the most disturbing subplots of the war, Democrats aren't just undermining our troops, they're rooting against them in a sick display of political opportunism. That anti-Americanism took an especially nasty turn on Monday when a sitting U.S. senator, Connecticut's Chris Murphy (D), celebrated our latest setback in the Strait of Hormuz. "Awesome," he responded to a report that 26 of the regime's ships had evaded the U.S. blockade.

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.

One of the nation's leading left-wing activist organizations, responsible for fostering and encouraging hostility towards Christians, has been officially indicted by a federal grand jury, in what conservatives are hailing as a significant step towards restoring accountability.

News Writer / Reporter

There's more than one layer to the 11-count indictment for wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering that a federal grand jury issued Tuesday against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Underneath the political drama lies a simpler, more biblical interpretation to unearth. In essence, the SPLC lies, and it has used its lies to enrich itself at the expense of both innocent third parties and the country as a whole.

Last Sunday, I joined House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others to kick off the week-long "America Reads the Bible" initiative, where President Donald Trump read an appeal to God from 2 Chronicles 7:14. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker (R-N.J.) spent the weekend saying we don't need any help from on high.
