It’s no secret that culture has heavily influenced politics over the years. Gay couples appeared in movies and TV shows long before the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015.

Donald Trump’s election to the presidency was formally certified on Monday, but he still faces “Trump-proofing” efforts in Washington and in the states—and in some cases, from familiar foes.

President Jimmy Carter’s personal service to the poor after he left the White House in 1981 is remembered as Christian charity in action. What is not so well remembered is his role, albeit unwitting, in bringing evangelical Christians into the political process. Without Carter—who died Dec. 29 at age 100, and who will lie in […]
The GOP-controlled House of Representatives voted Tuesday to pass the Laken Riley Act, a bill that prioritizes the arrest of some criminal illegal aliens.
