Europe is burning. Does anyone still care enough to save it?

We may be witnessing the beginning of the end of Europe. It's October 18, 2026, as I write; who knows what more will have happened in European cities by the time you read this?

Silicon Valley has a Dostoevsky problem

Earlier this year, something startling happened: Leading technologists at the AI frontier turned fretfully for guidance to a devout Orthodox Christian.

Pray for the country. Then do your part.

The pulpit answers to God, not the IRS

Before America had a Constitution, it had pulpits. Pulpits that taught citizens how to think about authority, duty, and the proper limits of government. The ministers later associated with the “Black Robed Regiment” understood that biblical truth must step through the church door. They addressed public questions…

Ex-Mormon influencer tells Allie Beth Stuckey the angel Moroni is a demon

Iran’s regime killed my brother. I refuse to hate Muslims.

My younger brother, Hamraz , was arrested in Iran at 16. Two years later, the Islamic regime executed him. His death filled me with anger and a desire for revenge. But as I studied the Sermon on the Mount , Jesus challenged me to love my enemies and pray for those who persecute me.

Trump's FTC gets a big win, but the job is far from over

Hours before trial was set to begin last month, the Federal Trade Commission and five state attorneys general settled their antitrust case against Zillow and Redfin. While this was a major success, and the FTC should be proud, there is still more to be done.

Billy Crystal no longer trusts God. Christians should listen.

The GOP can’t blame Biden forever for pain at the pump

A few months in Manhattan have made me part of the city’s bubble. I pay $3 for the subway , worry about rent and groceries, and rarely think about the cost of filling a gas tank. Then I went home to South Jersey and saw the price posted outside a station. I had almost forgotten what the rest of the country pays to get…

John Doyle: If life has infinite value, then murderers must die

The death penalty remains a deeply divisive issue among Christians. Some hold that it is a biblically justifiable punishment, proven by Old Testament endorsements of capital punishment for serious crimes and Romans 13’s affirmation of governmental authority. Others argue against it, pointing to New Testament teachings…

Real or AI? This new 'slop detector' can spare you embarrassment — or worse

AI slop is everywhere. It is strewn across the internet, stuffed into social feeds, and even popping up in real-world printed materials. If you have a good eye or you’re simply wise to bad imagery, you may be able to spot these on your own. If not, Google has an AI slop detector designed to make it easier to tell fake…

Democrats may ride a blue wave on a red script

Democrats are poised for a good night on November 3. The only question is how far into Republican territory their gains will reach. Yet unlike the Democratic waves of 2006, 2008, and 2018, this election has no unmistakable leftward pull. Watch the ads. Democrats are attacking Republicans on issues that conservatives…

The tyranny of tipping

America is synonymous with a peculiar list of cultural exports: Coca-Cola, Bruce Springsteen, peanut butter on everything, monster trucks, prescription drug commercials with terrifying side effects, and, of course, tipping .

The global meritocracy myth sells Americans’ inheritance cheap

Americans are being told that restricting legal immigration would rig the competition for jobs and college seats. Apparently, allowing citizens to compete with the entire planet is “meritocracy,” while giving them preference in their own country is “discrimination.”

Democrats can't erase the price shock of the Biden years

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says Republicans have "done nothing to make life more affordable for the American people" and instead have "made life more expensive."
