There is a dark irony in the whispered joke that DEI means “Didn’t Earn It.” Most diversity advocates vehemently reject that characterization. But institutions should understand why such cynicism has gained traction. When race, victimhood or representation outweigh measurable achievement, people naturally begin wondering whether standards have been lowered. DEI is regressive, demeaningly assumptive, demoralizing, and (let’s just say it), racist.

The authors present the result as a gap in how officials look for radicalization. The report noted that “federal agencies and public safety officials are concerned not only with ideology in the abstract, but with radicalization pathways: the content that tells people who to fear, why the situation is urgent, and when force becomes acceptable.” “Violence connected to gender ideology remains largely undocumented in the academic literature,” the researchers concluded. “This study provides a first systematic empirical look at the psychological infrastructure that makes such violence conceivable.”

During the 1976 approach to America’s one hundredth birthday, there were dangers to the nation in many directions. Communism was on the move, despite the ending of the Vietnam War, which, to many observers, America lost. That evil ideology seemed to be spreading everywhere, including to this hemisphere. The American culture was growing coarser by the day, with many universities and colleges harboring professors who taught (and students who excitedly embraced) communism. Anti-American revolutionaries grew from these enclaves to foment growing internal strife.

It was quite the spectacle. Hundreds of women marched outside a courtroom, praising a mother on trial for killing her three children—Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. Thousands took to social media, parading the mother, Lindsay Clancy, as a new face for “women’s rights,” and millions of dollars have been given to support her. This story is about more than a murder trial—it is a spotlight on the inverted morality that has taken hold of a large segment of the culture, and it is far from the first.

What happens when people see themselves as by-products of chance rather than design? What happens to their children and to their civilization? Communism happens. Totalitarianism happens. Freedom fades. Violence increases. Purpose and meaning disappear. Romans 1:18 says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”

It is no secret that America has largely turned its back on God. Children are encouraged to find their own truth from a young age, and mentions of God in our public schools are brushed aside or removed. Church attendance is rapidly declining as self-help strategies promise the answers to life’s problems. We’ve traded Divine guidance for subjective truth—“it’s up to me decide what is right and wrong.” And even the concept of biological sex and gender is up to the preference of each individual. It is clear that secularism has infiltrated every aspect of society, and the results are catastrophic. The further we stray from God, the deeper we sink into hopelessness.

The nation’s infrastructure continues its collapse, and President Trump recently reported that large segments of the nation’s military are not receiving paychecks. But somehow they still have money to continue work on their nuclear facilities in Pickaxe Mountain and to attempt their piracy of ships as they pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Regardless of what the judiciary says, one thing is for sure—God views the Jewish nation, the Jewish people and the land of Israel as inextricably linked. Do we agree with everything the State of Israel does? Of course not. But people who purposefully or unwittingly fan the flame of antisemitism are caught in Satan’s antisemitic trap. In Romans 11:1 the apostle Paul asks a simple question: "I say then, has God cast away His people?" The answer that he gives is a verbal fence which guards the unthinkable: "Certainly not!" In Hebrew, the answer is rendered “chalilah.” Chalilah is more than a phrase. It is a theological alarm bell, warning the reader to bring their thoughts back into alignment with God’s plan and purposes.

During my visit to Ukraine, Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, briefed me on Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s religious heritage, damaging or destroying hundreds of religious structures, a pattern documented by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Ukrainian officials have also documented 67 religious leaders and clergy killed or who died as a result of torture in occupied territories.

Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life, said that the law is “designed to scare people of faith off the sidewalks outside abortion facilities by creating the constant threat of prosecution and costly lawsuits,” because prayer, holding a sign, or offering a woman help could be seen as intimidation or coercion.

After decades of cover-ups, union protection rackets, and official indifference, the U.S. Department of Education is finally admitting that government schools are infested with sexual predators preying on captive children. In some of the strongest official comments to date, U.S. Secretary Linda McMahon vowed a nationwide crackdown on teachers, staff, and other adults in positions of authority who sexually abuse and harass students. Speaking Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” McMahon made clear that the horrors documented by The Newman Report and others for years cannot continue. “This epidemic of nationwide sexual abuse in our schools must end,” she said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has sharply escalated his rhetoric against God's chosen people to the point where military conflict between the two countries is no longer merely a theoretical possibility. In a recent address to the Turkish Parliament, he said the Jewish state “has become increasingly arrogant” and “a source of threat not only for the region but also for humanity.”

That’s the question an article in The Economist is asking as it highlights boutique IVF clinics, part of a “burgeoning industry aspir[ing] to reshape the way humans are made” by allowing parents to screen their embryos for IQ, height, and eye color. These start-ups are front and center in the commodification of children, turning human beings into products so wealthy parents can—according to their advertising on the New York subway—“have [their] best baby.” Children are not commodities or products to be genetically manipulated according to adult desires. Children are people, made in the image of God with inherent dignity and value right from fertilization.

Following a heated city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, last week, a local pastor and other religious freedom advocates are accusing the Muslim-majority city council of favoring Islamic Sharia law over pursuing justice for Christian protestors who were attacked during a recent local event. Dearborn, just west of Detroit, is one of Michigan’s largest cities, and has one of the largest concentrations of Arabs outside the Middle East, according to The Detroit News. The 2020 U.S. Census puts the majority-Arab population at about 54.5%. The city has five Muslim public prayers a day, in accordance with Sharia Law, and boasts the largest mosque in North America.

In a school honoring a creationist, young-earth creationism cannot be taught. The James Irwin Charter Middle School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was planning to include “intelligent design” and “creationist theory” alongside evolution in its eighth-grade science curriculum, according to a parent’s report to the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). FFRF is an atheistic organization that opposes religion, especially Christianity. After receiving the complaint, the FFRF wrote a letter to the charter school on March 5, 2026, demanding that they teach only evolution.

The Internet has consistently been a breeding ground for antisemitism, with a particularly dramatic surge since the beginning of the Iran War in February 2026. But Jew-hatred is not confined to the comments sections of social media platforms. It is public, physical, and increasingly common.

A new resolution in the House of Representatives condemns socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as “incompatible with American values and the United States Constitution.” The resolution begins by connecting the DSA, a membership organization espousing democratic socialism, and socialism to the brutal legacy of communism. It’s right to do so. Democratic socialism and communism, or Marxism-Leninism, are both types of socialism — an economic and social ideology devised by German philosopher Karl Marx in the 19th century.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Decision, “People should pay very close attention to state laws, those who are running to make those laws, the attorneys general in those states and the state elected officials. What’s happening at the state level is very important in our system—our federalist system—because the state laws become, as we’ve seen in recent years, a defense against the encroachment of bad federal policy.” The former Louisiana legislator added, “The state level is an opportunity to actually get strong pro-family, pro-life, Biblically aligned laws into place.”

There is tremendous online chatter spreading today that must be answered from an evangelical perspective. Self-proclaimed "Christians" who are, at best, confused theologically are spreading conspiracies, lies, rumors, and frankly tall tales. The sad thing is that these purveyors of confusion have influence, and their nonsense is paying off. Upon further examination, it becomes clear that these individuals—far from holding to Biblical truth—are giving heed to the demonic.
