Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description In striking down President Trump’s global tariffs, the Supreme Court demonstrated something far more foundational than trade policy: the endurance of a system built on checks and balances and a “government of laws, not of men.” The Founders understood that because people are not angels, power must restrain itself—and the president’s complian...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew of the English royal family, was arrested yesterday on his sixty-sixth birthday after the latest batch of Epstein files that were made public last month shed new light on his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Now that he is potentially facing life in prison, he ha...

On The Late Show Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert told viewers that CBS told him an interview he taped with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico could not be aired. The show then presented the interview through its YouTube channel, where FCC rules do not apply. As of this morning, it has been viewed more than 7.4 million times, roughly triple what the CBS program draws each night. With h...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner The deaths of Rev. Jesse Jackson—called America’s “most influential Black figure” between Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama—and actor Robert Duvall remind us, as Ian McKellen admitted, that we are not immortal. Even the nation George Washington helped birth and the films that outlive their performers will not stand forever, and we are only a few generatio...

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner Article Description Former President Barack Obama generated headlines when he was asked by podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen about the existence of aliens and said, “They’re real.” Mr. Obama issued a clarification the next day: “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But […] I saw no evidence during my presidency that ex...

It’s a sign of our times when a movie is so sexually immoral that even reading reviews of it can veer toward the pornographic. But such is the case with Wuthering Heights, the film adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel that was released Friday to a very mixed reception. To switch “art” forms: the latest Sports Illustrated “Swimsuit Edition” is out. This year’s edition does something new, however: i...

The El Paso airport was shut down late Tuesday night after the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fired an anti-drone laser at an object flying near the border. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered all flights grounded and closed the airspace up to eighteen thousand feet for a period of ten days in response. Or at least that was the plan until the FAA reversed course eight hours late...

Jennifer Welch was an Oklahoma City-based interior designer and reality show actress before launching a podcast in 2022. Titled “I’ve Had It,” her podcast now has 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 4.5 million followers across social media. Welch claims that “evangelical Christianity is the biggest racket on the planet” and repeatedly uses the epithet “cancer” to describe us. In all things, we...

A man was released after being detained in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, even as the FBI released video of a masked person outside her door the night she vanished. In other headlines, seven people were found dead in a shooting at a high school in British Columbia, with additional victims discovered at a nearby residence. Such tragedies remind us that “all have sinned and fall short of the gl...

The American alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn has been one of the most compelling stories at the Winter Olympics. A week before competition began, she tore her left ACL during training. She persisted with her dream despite the pain. But she crashed in the downhill final Sunday and fractured her left tibia, an injury that will require multiple surgeries to repair. She has since posted an inspiring, ad...

The Seattle Seahawks won yesterday’s Super Bowl LX over the New England Patriots with a dominant defensive performance. You probably already knew the result of the Super Bowl. I would not necessarily expect the same if I were writing about the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, the Masters, or any other headline sports event. But NFL football and its championship game hold an unrivaled place in our...

A California-based startup plans to open a hotel on the moon by 2032. Galactic Resource Utilizations Space launched their booking website last month. Construction is expected to begin in 2029, pending regulatory approval. You can book your spot by putting down a deposit of a mere $1,000,000. How do we redeem the stress of our days? There’s a better way than escaping the planet. In one sense it wil...

Savannah Guthrie has withdrawn from hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony to focus on her family. As you know, her mother, Nancy Guthrie, has disappeared in Tucson; police believe she was taken against her will in a “possible kidnapping or abduction.” Ms. Guthrie’s disappearance is tragically not unusual in the US. In addition to abductions, elder fraud and abuse are epidemics, as hund...

Article Description For those who are ready for winter to be over, the bad news is that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday, predicting six more weeks of polar vortexes and misery for millions. He’s not, however, the only forecaster in the news today. The National Center for Health Statistics is reporting that US life expectancy has hit an all-time high. According to “Vitalists”, humanity h...

Request YOUR copy today of Walking In His Commands: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.  Article Description Anti-ICE protests were staged in cities across the US over the weekend. Bikers also participated in over two hundred memorial rides for Alex Pretti across forty-three states. In other news, the US government partially shut down over the weekend as dozens of federal agencies saw their funding laps...

Neither Iran nor the US appears overly eager to budge on their negotiations, though President Trump has issued threats and presented four demands for peace. It makes sense that Iran’s leaders would be hesitant to show weakness, but pretending they are in a position of strength when they're not is only going to make matters worse for them. Throughout Scripture, we find examples of people who la...

Request YOUR copy today of Walking In His Commands: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.  Article Description Let’s step away from the news today to discuss the way we consume the news. The Guardian asks, “Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?” Andrew Budson, a Boston University neurologist who specializes in memory disorders, explains our problem: we are using technology for the wrong purposes. If...

President Trump dispatched his border czar to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents, a tragedy now under review amid sharply conflicting accounts from federal officials, witnesses, and media reports. Whom we blame largely depends on what we think we already know. This is how nearly all of us know nearly everything we know, especially in a post-truth culture where subjecti...

A “devastating dose of winter weather” over the weekend left nearly 820,000 without power, canceled more than twelve thousand flights, and put twenty-three states and Washington, DC, under emergency declarations. A “generational storm” like this is one of the few things that can still unite us in an otherwise fragmented, polarized culture where even media and pop culture no longer hold us together...

As a major ice storm approaches that could affect more than two hundred million people, we reflect on our collective impotence in the face of nature, even in the most technologically advanced age in human history. Faced with forces we cannot control, it makes sense that every civilization has turned to religion—but in a post-Christian culture, faith is often dismissed as a placebo effect or outdat...

Request YOUR copy today of Walking In His Commands: A Lenten Journey with Jesus. Article Description President Trump announced yesterday that he was canceling his planned tariffs on US allies in Europe over US control of Greenland.

Surprising virtually no one, the University of Indiana completed one of the most dominant seasons in NCAA football history with its victory last night over the University of Miami, winning the College Football Playoff National Championship game. But what you may not know is that faith was at the center of the game for many who competed on the field and on the sidelines. However, if you’re looking...
