Iran reportedly launched missile strikes on Monday targeting U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq. The attack came in retaliation for the weekend U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Residents in Doha, the capital of Qatar, reported seeing missiles streak across the sky, with local air defenses intercepting at least one.

Tens of thousands of American troops are stationed across the…
Victims of terrorism have been granted the right to sue Palestinian organizations in U.S. courts, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Friday. The justices ruled 9-0 in favor of upholding the constitutionality of the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act of 2019.

Plaintiffs in the case included a 7-year-old boy who suffered shrapnel wounds to his…
Police are praising the heroics of the church staff in preventing a potential mass shooting at a Detroit-area church on Sunday.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill passed earlier this month by the state legislature requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all of the state’s public school classrooms.

The bill, known as SB10, was sponsored by State Sen. Phil King (R-Weatherford) and requires every classroom to visibly display a poster that’s at least 16 by 20 inches featuring a specific version of the Ten…
A California pastor is getting candid about why he almost quit ministry, shedding light on struggles preachers routinely face. Shane Idleman of Westside Christian Fellowship in Leona Valley, California, is out with a new book, “I Almost Quit: My Journey of Leading Through the Landmines of Ministry,” a text detailing the factors that almost drove him away from the pulpit.

One college-level football coach’s claim of a clandestine plot to fire him might sound like the beginning of a movie, but, for Nick Rolovich, it was allegedly his lived experience. In fact, the purported internal plan was so inculcated at Washington State University, it was dubbed the “Rolo strategy,” according to Becket attorney Joe Davis, who is representing Rolovich in his legal quest against university officials he believes violated his constitutional rights to religious freedom. “They were implementing something that they called internally the ‘Rolo strategy,’” Davis told CBN News of high-level executives at WSU. “[T]hey questioned [Rolovich’s] character because…

We live in Texas. And late one night, he had gone to the ER, and the ER doctor called and said, ‘Your son has cancer, and it has spread all over his body. It’s in…
