| Waste and Fraud Unmasked by DOGE Sparks Question - Why Didn't Congress Find It First? |
| by Mark Tapscott |
| So much waste, fraud, and inefficiency in federal spending have been exposed since President Donald Trump re-entered the Oval Office three months ago that it raises the question: why didn't Congress shine the light on such outrages long before Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) came along? |

| The Fundamental Injustice of Elon Musk's Model of Fatherhood |
| by Dan Hart |
| With shocking speed and a blunt-force style, the government spending reform work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by tech entrepreneur and world's richest man Elon Musk, has been a sight to behold.

| Anti-Woke Movement Flips the Script in Hollywood |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| One of the unintended - but providential - side effects of America's anti-woke wave isn't just that companies are walking away from LGBT extremism, but that entertainment is. In a market pivot that's gone somewhat under the radar, key Hollywood players seem to be quietly turning away from the wokeism that's financially punished the industry for years. Families in this country want more wholesome options - and, in a surprising twist, producers seem much more willing to provide them. |

| National Abortion Toll for 2024 Remains Above 1 Million |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| A new report from the Guttmacher Institute, a longtime advocate for legally unlimited abortion, estimates that total U.S. abortions increased in 2024. The report covers the more than two-thirds of states that have not revived or enacted pro-life laws in the wake of the June 2022 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Altogether, using a combination of survey samples of abortion facilities and historical methods, Guttmacher concluded that some 1,038,100 abortions took place in 2024, a little less than 1% more than occurred in 2023. |

| PERKINS: The New Orthodoxy Shows Up in Court |
| by Tony Perkins |
| The title "prophet" isn't on my business card, but you don't need to be a prophet - just a student of history - to have predicted the cultural and legal conflicts unleashed by the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell decision. That ruling overturned the laws of nearly 30 states and imposed same-sex marriage on the entire country. |

| Trump Administration Pushes to Un-Wokeify International Institutions |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The Trump administration will direct international financial institutions away from "work on climate change, gender, and social issues," and back towards their core, financial mission, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Wednesday. This 180-degree reversal in America's position comes as the Trump administration looks to "expand U.S. leadership in international institutions like the IMF [International Monetary Fund] and World Bank ... to restore fairness to the international economic system." |
