The new “Mission: Impossible” film and Memorial Day: A reflection on sacrifice, heroism, and purpose 26.05.2025

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning is filled with incredible (even terrifying) stunts and astounding cinematography. Tom Cruise succeeds once again in his iconic role. On Memorial Day, our nation rightly remembers and honors the more than 1.1 million Americans who have died in military service to our nation. If you know someone who died in war or their grieving family and friends, this day is...

Israeli couple killed near Jewish Museum in Washington, DC 23.05.2025

Two young adults were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. The fact that a man claiming to support Gaza can murder a German-born Christian and an American with many Palestinian friends shows how nonsensical antisemitic hatred truly is. And it’s why we need to live every day ready for eternity. What happened in Washington could happen to anyone, anywhere....

Trump’s contentious meeting with South Africa’s president: Are white farmers facing genocide in South Africa? 22.05.2025

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s meeting with President Trump yesterday began well enough. Ramaphosa brought two South African golfers, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, to help break the ice before the conversation moved to a bit of foreign policy. However, things took a turn when a reporter asked what it would take for Trump to recognize that there was no “white genocide” in South Africa. Ab...

President Trump announces plans for “Golden Dome” missile shield 21.05.2025

President Trump announced yesterday that the US will spend $25 billion in initial funding for a “Golden Dome” hemispheric missile shield. Mr. Trump said the project will cost around $175 billion and added that it would be operational by the end of his time in office. Here’s the frightening reason: the risk of nuclear war is higher than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Such massive threat...

Joe Biden’s “irrefutable” cognitive decline shown in audio recordings 20.05.2025

Former President Joe Biden made headlines over the weekend with the announcement that he is battling “aggressive” prostate cancer, news that should lead us all to pray for his recovery and for God’s strength for him and his family. In recent days, Mr. Biden’s health has also been in the news on a very different level, one that illustrates a fact relevant to us all. About Denison Forum and The Dail...

Joe Biden diagnosed with “high grade” prostate cancer 19.05.2025

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with “aggressive” prostate cancer, according to a statement his office made yesterday. The statement added that his diagnosis included “metastasis to the bone.” Characterized by a Gleason score of nine out of ten, it is classified as “high grade” and could spread quickly. Mr. Biden and his family are reportedly reviewing treatment options, though his o...

The decline of “woke” is here, but what comes next? 16.05.2025

In his 2024 book The Third Awokening, Eric Kaufmann described his damaging personal experiences with the liberalism and cancel culture of “woke” ideology. A year later, he is able to write a new Wall Street Journal article titled, “Welcome to the Post-Progressive Political Era.” In his article, he asks, “We are leaving the age of progressive confidence, but what will replace it?” The question is o...

The latest from President Trump’s visit to the Middle East 15.05.2025

President Trump’s visit to the Middle East marks the first major foreign trip of his second term. That he chose meetings with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and representatives from the surrounding nations over America’s more established allies should not be overlooked. Yet throughout the proceedings, one nation was notably absent: Iran. Their exclusion is perhaps the most signific...

A painting I hope you’ll see and good news for the future 14.05.2025

Mark Rothko’s abstract art reflects a culture defined by emptiness, subjectivity, and the search for meaning within ourselves—yet that search often ends in despair. Please take just a moment to look at it , While his work captures the spiritual hunger of a broken world, a surprising shift is unfolding. Many in Gen Z are rejecting hollow self-expression in favor of lasting truth. The path forward i...

Flying cars, flight delays, and the path to “life and peace” 13.05.2025

The world’s first mass-produced flying car prototype has made its public debut. It transforms from a car to an aircraft in under two minutes and will cost between $800,000 and $1 million. You can buy yours in the first quarter of next year. When we step onto a plane, we abandon all personal agency. We are in the hands of pilots who fly the plane, controllers who direct them, and those who maintain...

US and China agree to slash tariffs, markets surge 12.05.2025

Get your copy of Who Am I? today. After weekend talks in Geneva, the US will drop its tariff on China from 125 percent to 10 percent; China will do the same. The reductions will last for ninety days as the two sides begin further negotiations. There are two types of news in circulation: headlines that affect all of us and those that affect a portion of us. However, there’s a forgotten third catego...

Trump cuts tariffs on Britain in new trade deal: How to find peace and joy when the world can offer neither 09.05.2025

When President Trump officially announced the tariffs his administration would place on countries around the world just over a month ago, he warned that there would be a painful adjustment period. But he also claimed that it would be worth it in the end. And while it is still far too early to know if he was correct, the trade deal he announced with the United Kingdom yesterday morning could offer...

Robert Francis Prevost elected as the first American pope 08.05.2025

At 11:08 a.m., Central Daylight Time, white smoke emerged from above the Sistine Chapel, announcing to the world that a new pope has been elected to lead the Roman Catholic Church. A long list of candidates had been in speculation for days. Betting platforms had an Italian cardinal in the lead, with a Filipino candidate second. None had an American high on their list, as no American has ever been...

Will conflict escalate between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan? 08.05.2025

Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan are on the brink of direct conflict for the first time since 2019. This after India launched deadly strikes yesterday on Pakistan and Islamabad claimed to have downed several Indian warplanes. Wars are most typically fought over competing claims to the same territory or versions of the same story. Such conflicts illustrate the fact that being convinced something is...

Conclave begins: What you need to know and why it matters 07.05.2025

The papal conclave that begins today will be the most geographically diverse in the church’s two-thousand-year history, with clerics from seventy countries participating. They have been meeting at the Vatican nearly every day since April 22, the day after Pope Francis’s death, to discuss matters facing the global church. This afternoon, one of the most famous and yet secretive traditions in histor...

“Iranian terror attack” stopped with hours to spare: Antisemitism at Harvard and the power of ideas 06.05.2025

Police in England arrested five men, including four Iranian nationals, over the weekend in what is being described as one of the largest counter-terrorism operations in recent years. Authorities report that the “Iranian terror attack” was foiled with just hours to spare. Speculation mounted that the target may have been a synagogue or another target linked to the Jewish community. If so, we can on...

Warren Buffett’s retirement and his view of the future: The power of predictions and the urgency of revival 05.05.2025

Warren Buffett is retiring at the end of the year. According to Forbes, Buffett is worth $168.2 billion. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, ended March 2025 with $347.7 billion on hand. All that to say, when Buffett discusses the economy, people listen. At his company’s annual meeting this Saturday, people came from around the world to hear the ninety-four-year-old investment guru. He stated that “b...

May Day protests and Israel’s Independence Day: What the contrast says about our nation and our souls 02.05.2025

Thousands of people took to the streets across America yesterday in May Day protests against the Trump administration. The protests were organized under the banner of the 50501 movement, which stands for “fifty protests, fifty states, one movement,” which seeks to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach.” Like the US, Israel has seen large anti-government protests in recent years. But...

How to hear God’s voice: A guide to making today’s National Day of Prayer the most significant yet 01.05.2025

Get your copy of Who Am I? today. Since 1775, our nation has asked its people to join together in prayer for the battles ahead, and the National Day of Prayer continues that legacy. As you join others in prayer today, remember that prayer isn’t performance; it’s participation. God isn’t looking for the right words but a receptive heart. Learning to listen when we pray is one of the most important...

New study: Mifepristone far more dangerous than advertised: America’s primary abortion pill causes serious complications for 1 out of 10 women 30.04.2025

Mifepristone, one of two pills used in facilitating chemical abortions, gained FDA approval twenty-five years ago after a study of just under thirty-one thousand participants showed that less than .5 percent experienced serious adverse reactions. That statistic has since been cited to defend not only the use of the pill but also the removal of almost every safeguard that was put in place when it w...

Trump’s first hundred days and Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest 29.04.2025

Get your copy of Who Am I? today. Today marks the one hundredth day of President Trump’s second term. While the numbers vary depending on the poll, the consensus seems to be that roughly 40 percent of Americans approve of how Trump’s term has gone so far, but even his approval ratings among Republicans have started to fall in recent weeks. This shift is largely due to the belief that he has become...

Massive crowds fill St. Peter’s Square for Pope Francis’s funeral: Did the pope write a now-viral “letter from the hospital”? 28.04.2025

“He was a pope among the people, with an open heart toward everyone.” This is how Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re described Pope Francis in Saturday morning’s funeral for the deceased pontiff. It was remarkable to see more than 250,000 people fill St. Peter’s Square from all over the world. They came in such numbers that more than four hundred priests were required to serve communion to all who want...

Amish helping to rebuild Hurricane-ravaged North Carolina: Why the biggest story is not always the most important story 25.04.2025

Article Description In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Amish volunteers from Pennsylvania quietly helped rebuild not only homes but also hope for residents of Chimney Rock, NC. Their story is a powerful reminder that God often works through quiet faithfulness, not breaking news. Most breaking news stories will play out in ways that will impact us, but we have little ability to impact them. Yet the b...

Who will be the next pope? Why an atheist says America needs Christianity 24.04.2025

The death of Pope Francis continues to dominate the news, but commentators are beginning to turn their attention to what comes next as well. Of the twelve cardinals thought to be frontrunners to become the next pope, many are considered more conservative than Francis. The person who becomes the next pope will obviously be vitally significant to America’s seventy-two million Catholics (comprising t...
