We’re starting this week’s newsletter with a viral story that fortunately had a positive ending. Police in Pennsylvania arrested a man Sunday who tried to shoot a church pastor because “God told him to do it.” But the preacher’s life was spared when the assailant’s gun somehow jammed. Video shows the moment it all unfolded. It’s almost too […]
Northwestern University’s decision to cut a deal with anti-Israel student protesters may have created more problems than it solved.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A bill seeking to officially define antisemitism in state law swiftly moved through the North Carolina House on Wednesday amid heated nationwide campus protests over the Israel-Hamas War.
