What Makes Trump Different This Time?  | Victor Davis Hanson Explains

When Britney Griner was taken prisoner in Russia for bringing in illegal drugs, she became more famous as an American hostage than she ever was as an athlete—media made her cause the cause of freedom and her release was celebrated as America’s victory. 

This week, American Edan Alexander was released from Hamas captivity after 19 months of torture. Most still don’t know his name, but our media and the Democrats sure made known the detention of two others Edan Alexander’s age: the Hamas propogandist Mahmoud Kalil and the illegal alien, criminal gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Their cases and causes were news everywhere.

Thank God Edan Alexander has been released. But he was, evidently, the wrong kind of prisoner and hostage for the media and the left: innocent, American, and Jewish … captured by Hamas. His name, plight and his torturous treatment in captivity deserved far more attention. And: His release deserved far more celebration.

Our nation needs some soul searching.

Seth Liebsohn: We Need Some Soul Searching

This is Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com for Townhall.

The Catholic Church has set a new path for its future with the election of Pope Leo XIV. He made history as the first American pontiff, but otherwise he seems to fit into a more traditional path for The Vatican. An insider who worked regularly with bishops and cardinals, Pope Leo XIV is an expert on canon law. He takes care with his words and has an eye for tradition.

His choice of regnant name matters as well. The new pontiff explained the inspiration for his choice: Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, a prophetic declaration for the rights of workers as well as a call to resist socialism and collectivism. It called on all to defend the family as the core social unit and guarantor of dignity.  

The choice of pontiff holds enormous influence and weight within Christendom and among the nations of the world. Pope Leo XIV has an opportunity to heal divisions among Christians and Catholics while defending the deposit of faith in a clear and unambiguous manner.

Join me in praying for his success.

I’m Ed Morrissey.

Ed Morrissey: A Moment for Faith - And Hope

The Department of Health and Human Services has released a groundbreaking new report on the dangers of mixing gender, ideology, and medical practice for children and teens.

The report was commissioned, and it came out last Thursday. It's over 400 pages long.

But the bottom line is this. The Trump White House ordered the inquiry into and the evaluation of available data on what's called pediatric gender dysphoria treatments, most importantly, hormonal and medical treatments for children and teenagers.

You understand what's at stake

From a Christian perspective. It turns out to be more important in moral terms than the report itself. I want to say that it's very consistent with the affirmation of creation order, what you might call this basic moral sanity.

The report is just one more piece underlining what's been clear to so many who've been watching this closely. When it comes to the transgender issue, the basic battle is ideological, not medical.

And for the Trump administration's recognition of that, we should be grateful.
