When people wonder if events like the State Department's ministerial work, the evidence is sitting right in front of them.
It looks like a primitive N. Five years ago, Navine's mother carved the makeshift tattoo into her arm in a panic, using a nail and ashes.
"It was a kind of test. I know in the Bible it says everything is good for us believers, but I asked, in this what is good? That I am [beaten, tortured]?... They asked for my Bible. I said, 'It is in my mind.' So they said they must destroy it." —Helen Berhane, Survivor
"It never gets easier to tell your story. Each time you speak it, you relive it. When I tell someone about the checkpoint where the men raped me, or the feeling of Hajji Salman's whip across the blanket as I lay under it, or the darkening Mosul sky while I searched the neighborhood for some sign of help, I am transported back to those moments and all their terror." —Nadia Murad, Survivor
The crisis at our southern border isn't "manufactured," Vice President Mike Pence insisted. And he ought to know. America's second-in-command just flew back from a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, where he saw first-hand the damage Democrats have done by fighting the funding for ICE.
These days, there aren't a lot of things Congress does on time. That's what makes the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) so unique.
This isn't 1980. There's no gas rationing or inflation, no Watergate or the Cold War. But Americans are in uncertain times just the same. Our country could use a team of heroes — another miracle to shake us out of this bitter fog.
Imagine sending your daughter off to school only to find out that she was headed for an abortion appointment instead. Then imagine this: her teachers knew and never told you. In California, parents don't have to imagine it. Thanks to a new undercover video, they know — it's already happening.
Until recently, most people didn't know that a town called St. Louis Park, Minnesota even existed. And if you asked most residents, a vote against the Pledge of Allegiance isn't how they'd choose to be introduced.
We know how the founders defined human rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Two hundred forty-three years later, those rights haven't changed — but our understanding of them certainly has.
Birthdays and anniversaries, especially as the years accumulate, are accompanied by reciting and reliving the stories of the past. The older I get, the more I look back with appreciation on those occasions where I listened to my grandparents and parents relive defining moments in their lives. Those accounts not only give me a better understanding of our family's story, but my place in that still unfolding story.
If there's one word Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would use to describe the abuses against men and women of faith, it's "chilling."
The rest of the country knows it as the 2020 election. To the leaders at Google, it's the "Trump situation." And based on new undercover video, they'll do anything to prevent this president's history from repeating.

Unfortunately for women across the country, there's a great big abortion lobby out there that doesn't care about safety.

They were farmers, surgeons, a professor, even the president of the Marine Corps baseball team. One was a man in his 50s, already wounded, who had "no business being on the front lines." They were 49 men with one thing in common: they never came home. Today, most Marylanders couldn't tell you their stories. That's because 100 years after the war ended, we're too busy fighting for what those heroes died to give us: freedom.
Even from Planned Parenthood, the tweet is almost too unreal to believe. Here they are, accused of massive health violations in Missouri, and the organization posts a picture of the state, broken in half.
