The new trend in Second Amendment issues is that women are buying up guns in record numbers, even more so than men in some cases. And so, too, are minorities seeing a surge. What's going on? Even Democrats are buying guns — and this is odd, given a) Democrats traditionally hate private gun ownership and b) Democrats are the ones creating the conditions that require individuals to purchase guns in the first place. Who feels safe in communities controlled by leftists, right? Josh Savani, with the NRA, has the latest facts and data about Second Amendment freedoms in America — one of the core keys that keep intact the concept of God-given rights and liberties.

Too many socialists are coming out of the closet to run for positions of political leadership within the Democrat Party. And it's high time to push them all back into the closet. Socialists don't belong in American politics. Everything they stand for is counter to the Constitution. And the reason we're seeing so many these days is that Americans have turned from their faith and forgotten God. Judge Phil Ginn speaks of the intersection of faith and freedom.

Too many people see Jesus as a good man, a nice man, a charitable and kind man -- but nothing more. Even many Christians fail to have a proper relationship with Jesus, seeing Him as someone to worship during Sunday services, only to forget about Monday through Saturday. A personal relationship with Jesus is a must, however. It's impossible to live a life of fullness -- it's impossible to live out life in a manner that's planned by God -- without a one-on-one walk with Jesus. Be a Jesus freak, says Nina May, co-producer of the based-on-true movie "Jesus Freaks." You won't regret the life that comes.

President Trump has just won passage of his signature piece of legislation. But what does that mean for America, the economy and the next few years? Financial experts, at least some, suggest the United States is now on a path of prosperity once again. Democrats, predictably perhaps, are moaning and groaning. Whom to believe? Which political party to trust? Tim Head, president and CEO of Unify.US, weighs in with a layman's look at the good, the bad, the ugly of the OBBB.

Israel's attacks on Iran and America's assaults on the nation's nuclear sites have split many of the Christians and conservatives in this country. Tucker Carlson vs. Sen. Ted Cruz, is one example. Candace Owens and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are a couple other examples. So where do you stand on America's missile strikes? On America's support of Israel? Where do you stand on Bible prophecy as it's being played in the Middle East? Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills talks politics and prophecy and the response from many in the press and helps make sense of what's Bible truth — and what's false doctrine.

If you had to name a time in America where the morality of the nation took a nose dive, it'd be the 1960s that comes to mind. And that's quite fact-based, said Tim Goeglein, with Focus on the Family, whose latest book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia," traces a massive cultural shift to that decade, and then also to the Barack Obama years. If we want an America that's free, then we need Americans to be moral. It's only a moral people who are capable of self-governance, after all.

Israel's war on Iran is not so much preemptive, as it is reactive: Iran, after all, through its proxies, has been attacking the Jewish nation for years, most horrifically, perhaps, on October 7, 2023. And now, as Israel targets Iran's military structures and nuclear sites, Iran is responding by hitting Israel's housing sectors and its main hospital. It really is a case of clashing worldviews; it really is a matter of good versus evil. Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is on the ground, in the war-torn areas, setting personal safety aside to get food, medical supplies and other necessities to those Israelis who've seen their homes destroyed by Iranian missiles, or have been displaced out of fears of airstrikes.

It's not enough for Americans to cheer Israel from a distance in the Jewish nation's war against Iran. America ought to be willing to enter militarily if necessary. Israel's war is America's war — is all of civil society's war. And taking out a terrorist threat that has not only gone after Israel's people, but also America's, is not exactly a war of the so-called military industrial complex. It's a war of good versus evil and America is a named enemy. The chant, after all, is "death to Israel, death to America." Dr. Susan Michael, president of International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, talks about what she's hearing from the ground in Israel.

Is the Bible applicable in today's modern society — and can its content be trusted to help believers solve every question that pops up, from which job to take to where to live to what to cook for dinner? Answer: Yes. Many modern Americans believe in God; that is to say, believe God exists. But far too many believers don't think God works in their own personal lives. They think God is too busy, too distant, too unconcerned to deal with the day-to-day. But that's completely untrue. Mark Gerson, author of "God Was Right," has much to say about the matter.

Christians may do a decent job of attending church, reading the Bible and applying biblical truths to their own lives. But where it gets difficult for Christians is when they go to work on Monday — and their jobs are secular so they're expected to leave God at home. But this is not how God wants us to live. God wants to be part of everything; He wants us to walk with Him 24/7, 365 days a year, wherever we are and whatever we're doing. Serving God is not solely a Sunday thing. Jonathan Isaac, NBA star with the Orlando Magic, shares his new Christian apparel line and how he brings God into a sometimes celebrity-driven, secular world.
