Ronna McDaniel was chairwoman of the Republican National Committee for seven years until her resignation earlier this month. Last Friday, NBC News announced that they’d hired her.

Today in Holy Week–Maundy Thursday–illustrates the eternal significance of this fact.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.

A container ship rammed into Baltimore’s largest bridge early yesterday morning, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Six people are presumed dead as of this morning. Later in the morning, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in the first major abortion case since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. At stake is access to the abortion pill mifepristone.

But as Helen Lewis noted in the Atlantic, the princess was “bullied into this statement, because the alternative—a wildfire of gossip and conspiracy theories—was worse.”The other headline news over the weekend was the horrific shooting at a Moscow concert venue that left at least 137 people dead. ISIS claimed responsibility. The US warned Putin of the possibility of such an attack, but he did not trust their motives.Whether the issue is Kate Middleton’s health or jihadist terrorism, all truth is now opinion.

And while the bill faces a rockier path through the Senate, President Biden has already said he would sign it if it gets to his desk. But what’s actually in the bill and why are some wary that it won’t stop with TikTok?About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Ryan Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
