            Illinois Mandates Mental Health Screenings in Schools: A Controversial Move
            The governor signed Senate Bill 1560, mandating annual mental health screenings in Illinois schools for students from grades 3 through 12: As a parent, his legislation raises deep concerns about government overreach, parental rights, and the appropriate role of schools. Proponents like Governor Pritzker argue the law will help identify early signs of mental health challenges and reduce stigma around seeking help.

            The Trump-Putin summit presented both opportunities and challenges for traditional conservatives. While some saw it as a chance for diplomatic progress toward peace in Ukraine, critics feared it granted Putin legitimacy without meaningful outcomes.

            The Dangers of a West Bank-Style Solution for Ukraine
            by George Dienhart Let’s talk about the West Bank “solution” being proposed for the Ukraine. Until recently, Ukraine’s sovereignty and the preservation of a rules-based world order stood as non-negotiables. The current notion of partitioning Ukraine in a manner akin to Israel’s control over the West Bank is deeply troubling—and raises critical strategic, moral, and constitutional concerns. Some proponents argue that a pragmatic ceasefire—achieved by partition—is preferable to endless bloodshed.

            The Great Awakening: Understanding Our Information War
            by Larry Kaifesh Dear friends, As discussed, we are in an information war and the enemy has done a great job at hiding the truth behind a web of lies, to keep us unknowing, confused, anxious, and stressed. Truth and transparency are the fuel for a civilized society. Fortunately, the truth is out there for those who seek it. Even better is Cyntha Koeter and her research partner, the late Janet Ossebaard († 16-11-2023), have completed a series of short documentaries that do an excellent job at taking this very complex matter of the war we are in and making it easier to understand.
