As Americans, we have the right to vote. With that right comes the power to choose our leaders and influence the values that guide our government. That right must be protected, but it must also be exercised. There are roughly 250 million Americans eligible to vote. Yet in the 2022 midterm elections, fewer than half participated. Think about that. In a nation where government derives its authority from the consent of the governed, millions chose not to make their voices heard. And Christians are not exempt from this troubling pattern. Even where churchgoers vote at higher rates than the general…

A hidden cost of war that will eventually trickle down to your grocery, gas, and heating bills is set to rise sharply in 2027 because of the contested Strait of Hormuz. After 8 months of war, the critical chokepoint for global oil shipping has split into two routes: one side controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), and the other corridor kept open by a U.S. naval blockade and forces escorting commercial ships on a route that hugs Oman’s coastline. Despite having a lane for ships that wish to bypass the PGSA, shipping costs…
A new artificial intelligence model can measure someone’s biological age and predict their chances of surviving cancer just by looking at an image of the person’s face, researchers say.
