Imagine walking on your college campus, or the campus your son or daughter attends, and being met with mobs of angry, violent people shouting pro-terror chants. Imagine being threatened with murder and faced with vehement hatred simply for existing or being against terrorism. In a sense, you don't have to imagine it completely because these absurdities are exactly what's increasingly unfolding at universities.

Over the weekend, the House passed legislation by a wide bipartisan margin that would ban the popular social media app TikTok in the U.S. unless the China-based owner sells its stake within the next nine months.

A one-time Trump ally is pointing out that the former president is not a threat to America, but the radical agenda of the Democratic Party is.

On Saturday's episode of "This Week on the Hill," Family Research Council's president Tony Perkins spoke to U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) about U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) "historic" decision to throw out articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. As Perkins noted, Mayorkas is one of only two U.S. cabinet secretaries to have been impeached and the first to have been impeached in nearly 150 years. Previously, President Ulysses S. Grant's War Secretary William Belknap was impeached by the House in 1876, but acquitted by the Senate.
Marriage isn't something that just happens to you. It is carefully built and nurtured every day. You and your spouse are called to show up, even on the hard days, to do the work. In marriage, we become both the stewards and recipients of a complex and lifelong gift. Marriage is a gift! We fix what breaks, nurture what bears fruit, cull weeds and pluck thorns. But to undertake this sort of work, you'll need more than sheer willpower and the right ring. You will need the right tools.
