Congress should reject Pentagon’s $200 billion Iran war request
Congress should not fund illegal efforts. That sounds like common sense — and yet, the Pentagon wants Congress to approve an additional $200 billion in taxpayer money for the Trump administration’s illegal war in Iran. Under the Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war. The Trump administration launched a new conflict in the Middle East without congressional approval, a clear strategy, or even a basic cost estimate.
Missouri veterans deserve every tool to fight suicide

What Does Christian Power Look Like?
THE POWER OFJesus works like yeast: At first invisible, it transforms lives and eventually transforms cultures. In Reckoning with Power, David E. Fitch, a pastor and professor at Northern Seminary, explores this power — what he calls “Power With,” a relational and restorative type of power. It is, essentially, the power of love. Fitch contrasts this with worldly power, “Power Over,” which is hierarchical, domineering, and ultimately incompatible with Christianity.

The second most important thing to remember is that failing to increase the debt limit would be catastrophic.
