Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” What’s the connection to the election?

(PJ Media) The embattled chief of California's likely doomed and certainly overpriced high-speed rail project resigned on Wednesday, his stint "marred by scandal," as the New York Post put it. "This has not been an easy decision, as leading the Authority has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding chapters of my professional life,” Ian Choudri wrote in his resignation email (not even proper stationery?) to High-Speed Rail Authority board chair Steve Kawa.

(California Post) California drivers could face a new tax for every mile they travel if gubernatorial hopeful Xavier Becerra gets his way, as the Democrat says he’s willing to consider the controversial proposal to pay for the state’s crumbling roads. “Everything should be on the table,” Becerra said in an interview with KCRA’s Ashley Zavala, when asked whether he would support a mileage-based tax as governor.

The grand opening comes five months after Texas Children's Hospital settled a lawsuit with the Trump administration, which included the clinic and an agreement to pay more than $10 million in damages and civil penalties to resolve allegations it submitted false billings to public and private payors to secure insurance coverage for medicalized pediatric gender transitions.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Nov. 18, 2025, issued a proclamation designating both the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as “foreign terrorist organizations” and “transnational criminal organizations” under Texas law.

(Decision Magazine) Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates and supervises banks and federal savings associations.

(Red State) About a dozen female cross-country runners at Camas High School in Washington state sent a pretty bold and unmistakable message Tuesday when they walked off the course rather than compete against a biological male who had started the season competing on the school's boys' team. Video from the October 13 meet against Battle Ground High School shows how simple, yet, powerful, their protest was – they simply walked off the course when the starting gun sounded. While other runners began the race, the girls headed toward a nearby line of trees, reportedly joined by one girl from Battle Ground. Read full story below. redstate.com/terichristoph/2…
