The horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk stunned us here at TWS, and likely you as well. We join you in prayer for the Kirk family, the students who were present, that justice would be done, and for our nation's healing. TWS will bring you continuing coverage from a biblical perspective, and we pray with the psalmist, "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name's sake!" (Psalm 79:9)

On Tuesday, Democrats erupted at the news that Donald Trump was ready to expand the Guard's presence beyond the District and Los Angeles. Hinting that the city would be more cooperative than, say, Chicago, the president told reporters, "[We're] working it out with the governor of a certain state [who] would love us to be there..." But some people can't help but wonder: is militarizing the country really the solution?

The Advantages and Dangers of Free Market Capitalism
The Advantages and Dangers of Free Market Capitalism
by Joshua Arnold
What kind of economy should America have? In an August Gallup poll, Americans showed less certainty than at any point since Gallup began asking the question in 2010.
