"Enoch walked with God" (Genesis 5:24). Walking with God includes reconciliation, obedience from the heart, and ongoing faith. When Scripture speaks of walking with God, it's referring to one's manner of life. For example, Paul prayed that the Colossian believers (and us) would be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so they could walk (live) in a manner worthy of the Lord (Col. 1:9-10). To the Ephesians he said, "Walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind . . . [but] be imitators of God, as...

Under the terms of a new defense agreement between Greenland, Denmark and the United States, Greenland remains a self-governed territory of Denmark with the right to declare its independence in the future. The new trilateral agreement doesn’t go as far as giving Greenland to the U.S. Primarily, it indefinitely allows the U.S. to expand its military presence in Greenland and prevents U.S. adversaries from doing the same. But as we’ve written, the previously existing defense framework already gave the U.S. great latitude to expand military operations in Greenland. Under the new deal, activities at the U.S. base in Greenland, renamed...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the ChurchJesus said to the Apostles: “Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here immediately and take your place at table?’ Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished?’ Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?” Luke 17:7–9It’s easy...

The fast-congealing conventional wisdom is that the GOP attempt to re-redistrict didn’t just fail but also backfired on them. In other words, they drew “dummymanders” and ended up worse off than they would have if they’d stuck with the old maps. The reasoning is pretty straightforward: By spreading their voters too thin, Republicans set up a situation in North Carolina where it looks as though the map will produce a 10-4 Democratic edge. The re-redistricting in Texas netted a seat loss, while precipitating a redraw in California that looks as though it will net the Democrats five seats. I’m not...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over,” suggesting that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated the Islamic Republic and caused reverberations across the global economy. The president made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room after meeting earlier in the day with Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. “Iran militarily is effectively over,” Trump said. “We’re just keeping it the status quo.” He added that Iran has been “decapitated” but...

The F-35 Joint Program Office is struggling to keep track of billions of dollars worth of spare parts for the fifth-generation fighter, government auditors said in a new report—and it still can’t find $85 million in parts that have been lost for years. The Pentagon does not maintain complete records tracking its worldwide pool of roughly 26 million spare F-35 parts that are collectively worth about $31 billion, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Nov. 9. What records it has are often inaccurate, incomplete, and don’t reflect real-time changes, the congressional watchdog added. The report also said...

A runner at Sunday’s Santa Barbara Half Marathon struggled toward the finish line while experiencing a deep fog — then suddenly woke up in a medical tent. Nineteen competitors were hospitalized after the event, prompting a police investigation into what caused their “unusual symptoms.” One mom, who requested anonymity, told the California Post her daughter was well prepared for the race and runs regularly but got sick near the finish line. “You can see on her Garmin [watch], [she] went from a really decent pace to a crawl,” she said. “She has no memory of the finish line. She said...

The young male voters who helped propel President Donald Trump back into the White House in 2024 delivered a devastating rebuke to Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, abandoning the GOP amid mounting frustration over the Iran War, economic struggles, and the growing perception that Washington has betrayed the America First agenda. New exit polling reveals a dramatic political reversal among younger Americans, particularly men under 45, who played a critical role in Trump’s historic comeback just two years ago. The collapse has raised serious questions about whether Republican leaders understood the coalition that elected Trump in the first place,...

Over 7,000 years ago, Neolithic farmers crossed the Mediterranean from Iberia into North Africa. Carrying Cardial Ware pottery, domesticated crops and livestock, these European migrants established communities in Morocco and mixed with indigenous Maghrebi hunter-gatherers. Archaeology and ancient DNA shows how farming spread through migration, cultural adoption and later movements from the Levant. Including the remarkable spread of the R1b-V88 paternal lineage from Mesolithic Europe and Neolithic Iberia into the Green Sahara, and ultimately to populations living around Lake Chad today.

Video Transcript Summary

The state of Texas has aggressively fought to uphold the integrity of its abortion ban in court by ensuring that abortionists and abortion companies in other states don’t flood Texas with illegal abortion pills. Thanks to the Tuesday mid-term election, Texas will be flooded with the dangerous abortion drugs that kill babies and injure thousands of women. Texas Attorney General-elect Nathan Johnson said he will no longer pursue lawsuits against out-of-state abortionists who mail chemical abortion drugs into the state, a shift that pro-life leaders warn will allow abortion pills to flood Texas unchecked. Johnson, a Democrat who won election...

Exit poll data from tens of thousands of voters allow analysts to investigate narratives surrounding the 2026 election with empirical data. For example, was the Republican collapse due in part to a loss of support from evangelicals? The answer is both no and yes. On one hand, evangelicals supported Republicans at a rate similar to previous elections. According to the 2026 exit polls, 82% of voters who self-identified as “white evangelical or born-again Christian” voted Republican. That compares to 82% in 2024, 83% in 2022, 76% in 2020, 75% in 2018, and 81% in 2016. Even before that, 78% of...

A Massachusetts law allowing abortion at any point in pregnancy is in effect as of Sunday, November 8, after an emergency filing by Democrat Governor Maura Healey prevented the law from being suspended as more than 113,000 residents called for its repeal, well over twice the number needed to put repeal on the ballot in 2028. The law allows elective abortion through all nine months for any reason based on the “professional judgment” of an abortionist and forbids any external medical review from overriding it, making the Bay State the latest of a dozen U.S. states to legalize abortion on...
