American Troops Go Unpaid While The Pentagon Bankrolls Abortions And Ukraine’s Forever War, by Shawn Fleetwood

By Shawn Fleetwood, The Federalist - Despite honorably serving their country, these soldiers’ financial plights are at the bottom of the Biden Pentagon’s to-do list. A day before Military.com dropped its bombshell report, the Defense Department announced it was shipping another multi-million-dollar aid package to Ukraine. Totaling $150 million...

By Kevin Wells, Catholic Exchange - But here’s what’s even better: “Harry the Grocer” and “Frank the Milkman’s” life-lesson visits into our imagination around the dinner table helped to sustain our relationships with God.

The pope rededicated the shrine as a Christian church.

Speaker Mike Johnson Makes Liberals Angry Because He’s a Married Pro-Life Christian, by Suzanne Bowdey

By Suzanne Bowdey, LifeNews - Of the 469 members of Congress who call themselves Christians, the country has decided to pick on one: Mike Johnson. Apparently, it’s not a crime to say you’re a person of faith — it’s a crime to act like one. Unfortunately, that irony is being driven home with ruthless clarity in a nation where a majority of the population (63%) not only identifies with the new speaker’s faith but continues to elect leaders (87% of the House and Senate) just like him.
