How will history view the killing of three Americans in a drone attack on a US outpost in Jordan last Sunday? The tragedy marks the first time American troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the Gaza war began. Now, as the Wall Street Journal reports, “the Biden administration said it wants to respond forcefully enough to deter Iran’s allies from conducting further attacks on US forces without getting bogged down in another war in the Middle East.”

Taylor Swift was in the news yesterday as she watched her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who won the AFC Championship game. However, Swift was also in the news earlier in the week as millions of people came across fake sexually explicit AI-generated images of the pop singer on social media. 

People seldom make products for which there is no market. Online pornography has nearly doubled in the last five years to a $1.1 billion industry. And this is just the tragic tip of the moral iceberg.

Tomorrow is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, designated by the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazis’ largest extermination and concentration camp, by Soviet soldiers on January 27, 1945. This annual remembrance focuses on the six million Jews murdered by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. One-fourth of them, 1.5 million, were children. We remember the horror of antisemitic hatred so it will not rise again in our day.

But it is.

What can we learn from the past to keep it from happening again in the present?

The Doomsday Clock was set at 90 seconds to midnight this week, matching the closest it’s ever come to marking humanity’s end. But what is the Doomsday Clock? And should we care what those behind it think? Turns out, God has a better way for us to respond to its dire warnings than with the fear and angst it’s intended to create.

Former president Trump and current president Biden won their respective party’s nominations in New Hampshire last night. But neither candidate’s path to the national nomination is secure. Whom should we blame for the confusing state of American politics? Christians. But not for the reasons you might think.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign yesterday and endorsed former President Donald Trump. His decision leaves Mr. Trump and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley as the last major candidates remaining in the race ahead of tomorrow’s New Hampshire Republican primary.

His announcement is making headlines not just because it could change the race for the White House but because that race will change our lives. And yet, in a very real and foundational sense, the ultimate destiny of our nation is less in their hands than in yours and mine.

Today marks the 51st annual March for Life in Washington D.C. It’ll be followed later this weekend by the 40th annual National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. These events offer us the chance to remember that, while abortion is a political issue in many ways, nothing is going to change until it becomes a personal one as well. So how can we help that shift happen today?

Elton John now has an EGOT (an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) after having won an Emmy for his Disney+ live performance from Dodger Stadium. But the list of EGOT members continues to lengthen. In other news, the World Economic Forum in Davos will discuss “Disease X,” which could cause twenty times for casualties than COVID-19. When it comes to forecasting the future, “greatness” is available to no one. How can we best prepare for an unknown tomorrow?
