2+ hour, 10+ min ago (384+ words) Carrie Preston and Lindsay Mendez are seen filming at the "Elsbeth" set in Times Square, Manhattan on Nov. 13, 2025, in New York City. (Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) The cultural stereotype of a Catholic nun is often very uptight'as in unmercifully swatting a child's knuckles with a ruler'but sometimes it's more violent. Nuns plot murders. This happened on the CBS crime drama/dramedy "Elsbeth" on Nov. 20. The main character, Elsbeth Tascioni, is a Chicago lawyer sent to New York City to enforce a federal consent decree with the New York Police Department. But every week, she's solving murders while she floats around in flamboyant outfits and a collection of large handbags. This might be inspired by the pop star Sabrina Carpenter, who flounced about in a tiny black dress and a cross necklace inside a Catholic church in Brooklyn for her…...

3+ hour, 10+ min ago (536+ words) Star Parker / @StarParker Star Parker, a columnist for The Daily Signal, is president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Rahm Emanuel wants to take leadership of the Democratic Party and capture its nomination for president in 2028. He shares his thoughts in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. It's the first time a Democrat has made me smile since President Bill Clinton announced in his 1996 State of the Union address that "The era of big government is over." Emanuel has a stellar political resume that includes senior adviser in the White House to Clinton, chief of staff to President Barack Obama, member of Congress, mayor of Chicago and ambassador to Japan. He has a reputation for political astuteness, being a tough fighter and being the father of the oft-quoted, "You never want a serious crisis go to waste. And…...

4+ hour, 8+ min ago (635+ words) When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Nov. 21 she will be resigning her seat in the House of Representatives effective Jan. 5, 2026, it marked the culmination of a fusillade between the Georgia congresswoman and President Donald Trump and sent shock waves throughout the MAGA movement. One underappreciated aspect of Greene's departure from Capitol Hill is the effect it could have on Republicans in Congress voting on one of their key campaign promises. Greene had introduced the Protect Children's Innocence Act in previous sessions of Congress with some differences, but the current version of this bill somewhat reflects the executive order issued by Trump just days into his second term. But the rift between Greene and the president, and now Greene's resignation, have left many on Capitol Hill asking what comes next for the legislation. "I've always represented the common American…...

She is the author of "The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics." KANAWHA COUNTY, West Virginia'Steve Lipscomb was a son, a father, a husband, a Marine, a man of faith, and a coal miner. Ten days ago, Lipscomb and his crew encountered an unknown pocket of water when a "sudden and substantial" flood sent millions of gallons into the Rolling Thunder Mine. Lipscomb lived up to his life of service, faith, family and community by ensuring his entire crew made it out safely. Officials said that as Lipscomb finished evacuating his crew, rising water filled the shaft so rapidly that he, the last man remaining, had no way out. It was the last time he was seen. After five days of round-the-clock, hazardous search…...

5+ hour, 40+ min ago (470+ words) Joshua Arnold is a staff writer at The Washington Stand, contributing both news and commentary from a biblical worldview. According to the survey, weekly Bible reading among all U.S. adults rose sharply this year to 42%, but only 36% of U.S. adults said the Bible was 100% accurate. Likewise, the percentage of self-identified Christians who read the Bible weekly climbed to 50%, but only 44% of self-identified Christians fully affirmed its accuracy. Not that affirming the Bible's accuracy must be a prerequisite to reading it regularly. On the contrary, one hopes that every day more unbelievers are picking up and reading the Bible as an early step on the road to believing in Jesus. But it seems unlikely that fully 6% of U.S. adults fall into this class, and it is definitionally impossible for 6% of Christians to be unbelievers. A more likely explanation is that some Americans have some…...

6+ hour ago (835+ words) Daniel McCarthy / @ToryAnarchist Daniel McCarthy is the editor of Modern Age: A Conservative Review and a columnist for The Spectator and Creators Syndicate. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a singular politician'a maverick, though not in the John McCain sense. The Arizona senator was beloved by the media; MTG never was, at least until she started feuding with President Donald Trump. On the contrary, her reputation in the press was as the poster girl for the GOP's conspiracy wing, the queen of Q Anon. But it's not what sets her apart from other Republicans that makes Greene's resignation from the House'effective Jan. 5'significant. What the president and GOP leaders in Congress have to worry about is how typical she might be'of legislators frustrated by what the future holds. "This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. And Mike Johnson…...
