When it comes to court rulings (or anything for that matter), we mustn’t be quick to believe the picture the media paints. Over the past year, the Supreme Court has handed down some lawful and rational decisions, but news outlets and even our own president have made misleading and dangerous statements about these rulings. Let’s remember the role of the Supreme Court is to interpret laws, not write them.

As summer activities are in full swing, I want to bring 5 short (but not unimportant) news stories to your attention. Enjoy your vacations and time out in the sun, but don’t overlook what’s happening in our world!

The GOP is in danger of becoming a Trump cult.

On March 27th, a heavily-armed 28-year-old woman claimed the lives of 3 children and 3 faculty members in a Nashville elementary school. In the wake of unthinkable tragedy, it is wise to ponder preventative solutions. Yet, our country’s political divide often creates more argument than discussion. Join me today as we talk details and ask difficult questions to ensure the safety of our country’s youth.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine has been the highlight of the world stage for the past year. With tensions only rising, and an intensified battle on the horizon, we have to determine where we stand as a nation. Why should the United States back Ukraine at all? What are the consequences if we don’t? Listen in to hear a global perspective on this critical issue.

Of the three branches of our federal government, Congress is by far the most dysfunctional and stagnated. Yet, it is also the most variable. Let’s vote good and knowledgeable people into our House and Senate! Together, we can tackle the issues of excessive spending, inside corruption, and laziness.

It was recently made known that the 39th U.S. president, Jimmy Carter, has entered hospice care and may be near the end of his life.
