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 office added that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, meaning it likely can be managed.

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 obviously critical to our national future. You and I can answer it in the only way that changes souls and transforms culture for the glory of God. But what does that look like, and where do we start?

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 significant indication of what Trump and his new friends in the region are hoping to accomplish.

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 isn’t more religion—it’s a relationship with the risen Christ, who alone brings light to our darkness and hope that transcends the canvas of our lives.

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 the equipment upon which we risk our lives. There’s a principle here that applies not just to air travel but to every dimension of our lives.

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 category in the news, one that you and I overlook to our peril and that of our nation.

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 a glimpse into what’s to come.

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 selected as pope.

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 true does not make it so. This fact is, of course, much more exacerbated when our opinions are wrong with regard to eternity.

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.

This afternoon, one of the most famous and yet secretive traditions in history will officially begin as the cardinals meet to elect the church’s 267th pope. Here’s what you need to know and why it matters to us all.
