On July 15, 2026, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Department of Justice (DOJ) officially wrapped up a historic set of hearings on rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. The dramatic change would reclassify the drug as now having an accepted medical use and a low risk of abuse. However, marijuana itself has never been accepted for medical use and is overwhelmingly abused […]

“Under-Regulated and Unaccountable”: The State of America’s IVF Industry

When I sat down with Emma Waters, Senior Policy Analyst at the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Technology and the Human Person, I expected to learn about policy. What I didn’t expect was her jarringly accurate description of the state of American fertility law. “The best way to categorize the governance of the fertility industry and of IVF in particular,” she told me, “is that it’s under-regulated […]

6 questions Christians must ask before posting online

“New Christian Right” Pastor Joel Webbon tweeted last year: “Women should log off of social media and devote their attention to baking pies—apple, preferably.” I was not particularly compelled to log off and bake a pie by that.

The War on Truth, Smithsonian Edition

When a people forgets where they came from, they forget who they are. But America’s largest institution charged with preserving and sharing our history has been captured by an anti-American ideology that is lying to busloads of school children and international tourists for the sake of a corrosive political agenda.

The Personhood Debate Expands

We can test for alcohol in seconds. Marijuana impairment? Still a guessing game

On Jan. 1, 2026, I was on the phone with my fiance when he was struck head-on by an under-the-influence driver going down the wrong side of the highway. Fortunately, my fiance survived the horrific incident — however, so many in this same situation do not live to tell the story. In 2023, a 17-year-old Texan who was driving while […]

The Game Industry’s Most Dangerous Marketing Trick

You just purchased a new card game, and now you are being marketed the “adult extension pack.” The pack does not add strategy, complexity, or deeper gameplay.

How Conservative Candidates Can Win the Abortion Conversation

The 2026 election season is well underway, and as usual, Democratic candidates are embracing radical, up-to-birth abortion messaging armed with support from Big Abortion.

How States Can Support Grieving Parents

Miscarriage is a devastating, life-altering event that far too many parents walk through without adequate care for their needs or meaningful recognition of their lost child.

Netflix’s Imperfect but Still Worthwhile Little House

Netflix has done much in recent years to alienate Christian and conservative audiences.

It […]
