Meghan McCain warned President Trump to stop sending Lindsey Graham out in public to talk about the war. She is correct. Graham is terrifying people. It’s hard to believe President Trump is sending him out. Is it possible? President Trump endorsed Graham and keeps him as an advisor. “I’ve known Lindsey Graham since I was […] The post Meghan McCain Urgently Wants Her Dad’s Pal Lindsey Shut Down appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) doubled down on his party’s opposition to President Donald Trump, vowing on Sunday that Democrats in the U.S. Senate would never “help” Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Despite the fact that the bill’s main focus — requiring valid proof of citizenship for voter registration — is popular among voters regardless of party, Schumer shared a post on X referring to the SAVE Act as “Jim Crow 2.0” and claiming that millions of people would be “disenfranchised” if it were to pass. “The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people,” Schumer complained. “If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.” Schumer’s statement came just hours after Trump announced early Sunday that he intended to prioritize the SAVE Act — nicknamed by Republicans the SAVE America Act — and would not sign anything else until he saw it on his desk. Praising calls for Senate Republicans to use the traditional — “talking” — filibuster to force a vote on the measure, Trump said that it had to be the top priority to “pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS.” “It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” he added. “I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.” In addition to requiring proof of citizenship — either through a valid passport or a birth certificate — the SAVE Act would dramatically limit online and mail-in voter registration and would reduce mail-in balloting to military service-members or those limited by illness, disability, or travel. States would also be required to routinely examine voter rolls in order to ensure that non-citizens were not being registered to vote. Criminal penalties would apply to any officials who registered voters with improper identification. Despite the fact that a majority of Americans support voter ID requirements generally (81%) and the SAVE America Act specifically (71%), according to a Harvard Harris poll taken just after Trump’s State of the Union address, elected Democrats like Schumer have continued to insist that requiring proof of citizenship would necessarily disenfranchise voters who cannot access the proper documents. The SAVE Act passed the House in February.

If no one’s reminded you lately, good begets good. It’s the kind of adage our grandparents shared with us when we were young, and they were absolutely right. The more kindness we show to all living things, the better off we are. A woman in New England recently found a saw-whet owl on her driveway in need of help. She contacted the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue for help. The organization quickly picked up the owl and brought her in for treatment. What appeared to be a simple case turned out to be a bit more challenging. Newhouse Wildlife transported the owl to Camp Ann Wildlife for further help.“I can’t begin to tell you how many birds we have sent to Cape Ann Wildlife over the years. The women there have always been so helpful and have saved animals that I honestly wasn’t sure could be saved. Their time and dedication is incredible,” a Facebook post reads. The Sweet Owl is Now Hoping to Help Camp Ann Wildlife Newhouse Wildlife Rescue shared a photo of the owl along with a plea for help for the people of Cape Ann Wildlife. “It saddens us to have learned that their founder, Jodi, has recently been dealing with a lung cancer diagnosis and has been struggling after a recent surgery to try to save her life. She still helped wrap this little owl’s wing, even with all she is going through. She is a very kind soul. Still now, she Is giving and healing, as she has for many years,” the message reads. “They don’t have much time for fundraising these days, so I wanted to do one here. Their funds are running low. Please help support their efforts so we can take a little off their shoulders. They do so much good,” the organization added. Followers immediately answered the call for help by setting up a GoFundMe. They’ve raised more than $19,000 thus far. This story’s featured image can be found here.

What if history wasn’t something you only read about—but something you could walk through?  What if the stories of Scripture rose from the page and surrounded you—etched into stone streets, carved into ancient ruins, whispered through the landscapes where God moved in history?  An exciting new venture, Sojourn, has officially launched as outreach of Good Comma Classroom, expanding its mission beyond writing instruction to an immersive, Gospel-centered travel program that deepens your understanding of the Good News.  Carrying the slogan “Learn the past. Lead the future.” Sojourn is the rebranding of the former Good Comma Classroom travel program. It organizes pilgrimages to biblical and historically significant sites, inviting students and adults alike to walk in the footsteps of the saints.   The name reflects its vision: a “sojourn” is not a vacation, but a purposeful journey—one marked by growth, formation, and thoughtful reflection. For many participants, it is genuinely life–changing.  In an interview with The Daily Signal, Sojourn’s founder and CEO, Michael Hamilton, described the heart behind the mission:  “Sojourn’s mission is to help people learn the past so that they can lead the future. What we do is take people to civilization’s greatest places to teach them civilization’s greatest principles.”  The story behind Sojourn is, in Hamilton’s words, “a two fish and five loaves kind of story”—a testament to God’s providence.  From Uncertainty Came a Mission  After graduating from Hillsdale College, Hamilton entered a season of vocational uncertainty that quickly turned into financial strain. Though he had been teaching theology, history, literature, and political science, he felt adrift. Out of that uncertainty, he launched Good Comma Editing.  The editing company set out to help leaders communicate what matters most with clarity and conviction. Often, Hamilton explained, their clients either operated explicitly within a Christian mission or were led by Christians seeking to articulate truth with precision.   Those shared beliefs were often enough to build trust. To date, Good Comma has edited nearly eight million words—roughly ten times the length of the Bible.  Yet despite the mission, the business struggled. Lacking formal business experience, Hamilton found the company faltering. Then, through God’s goodness, came unexpected requests.  “You used to live in Boston. You’re a theology, history, literature, poli-sci teacher. Could you plan a trip?” What began as a favor turned into another request—and then another. Slowly, the Good Comma Classroom’s travel program was born. That program has now become Sojourn.”  Traveling Back Through Time   While many Christian organizations offer faith-based travel, Hamilton believes Sojourn stands apart.  “There are so many Christian providers of trips,” he said. “To say we’re just another Christian provider isn’t distinctive enough. What we bring is a robust biblical lens layered with a well-read, deeply considered classical historical perspective. Together, that creates a complete cultural experience.”  Sojourn leads participants through places like Philippi—where Lydia was baptized, and Paul met the Philippian jailer—through Thessaloniki and Berea, and onward to Athens and Corinth. Standing in these places, participants often say the Scriptures become three-dimensional.  “They tell us it brings the Bible to life,” Hamilton explained. “Now they can see God’s redemptive, providential hand working through history.”  For Hamilton, the phrase “life-changing” is not a cliché—it is the goal.  He believes many people spend their lives contemplating abstract truths without ever seeing their reality in place and time. Sojourn seeks to make the abstract tangible—to connect eternal ideas to physical ground. It is, in a sense, the closest thing to time travel.  Why Sojourn Exists   People do not need travel to grasp great truths. But for many, it helps profoundly. Some assume history and theology are out of reach, reserved for scholars or certain personality types. Hamilton rejects that notion.  By standing face-to-face with history in civilization’s greatest places, he argues, people discover something deeper: that by virtue of being created in God’s image, they are capable of understanding the most important truths ever revealed.  That is why Sojourn exists. To learn the past and lead the future.  The post Sojourn Launches as New Branch of Good Comma Classroom  appeared first on The Daily Signal.
