Capitol Hill Brief — Changes to the Draft
Did you know it’s been over 20 years since the military draft was studied? Think about how much national security has changed since 9/11, for example.

Rise of the Totalitarian Atheistic State
There is a bonus scene at the end of the movie “God’s Not Dead 2,” that seemed comical to many because it is so far-fetched. A pastor is, very peacefully and matter-of-factly, arrested for refusing to hand over his sermons to the state. Two police officers hand cuff him and read him his Miranda rights. […]

There is Something Higher than the Election
