Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word - Matthew 10:7-15 - 7 And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.

Trump Is Considering a Takeover of the District of Columbia. Here’s Why That’s a Good Idea. by Jarrett Stepman

By Jarrett Stepman, The Daily Signal - The crime and dysfunction in Washington, D.C., is an embarrassment to the country. President Donald Trump rightly called out the problem at a press conference on Tuesday and offered a solution... “We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Launch Fresh Assault on President Donald Trump, by Jules Gomes

By Jules Gomes, The Stream - USCCB (has) launched a new offensive against Pres. D. Trump, asserting that his One Big Beautiful Bill, is morally objectionable, inconsistent with Catholic values, and harmful to the weakest in society... A day before Trump signed the bill, Abp.
