Will the president join Israel’s military campaign against Iran? That’s the question that currently looms as American forces, including multiple carrier groups, destroyers, and refueling tanker aircraft, mobilize in the Middle East. The U.S. remains in a defensive posture (though, similar to our relationship with Ukraine in the war against Russia, we are already providing support to Israel), but the military could go on offense at any time at President Trump’s command.

In the midst of a clear breakdown of law and order in Los Angeles, President Trump is showing he has learned from the mistakes he made during his first administration. The president is responding to the L.A. riots of 2025 as he should have to the nationwide George Floyd riots of 2020. This is clearly not your father’s Republican administration. Rioters began attacking an ICE detention facility in downtown L.A. after agents rounded up 44 illegal immigrants in workplace raids.

I am not a Baptist, southern or otherwise. As someone who grew up in the Midwest and has lived my entire life in the north, the culture of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is foreign to me. Nevertheless, the importance of the SBC is clear. This is in part for obvious reasons such as its large membership, important institutions like its seminaries, and the traditional baptist focus and gifting in making new converts.
