Eagles’ Training Camp Countdown | Spokane News

Faith Divided When Religion Meets Politics | Spokane News

When Turning Point USA staged a fiery “Make Heaven Crowded” rally touting anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, and pro-Zionist rhetoric — even calling late founder Charlie Kirk a martyr — local faith leaders responded with a quiet, heart-focused counter-protest. While TPUSA’s event drew controversy and accusations of hate speech, the counter-group deliberately avoided media spectacle, aiming to rebuild community through compassion rather than confrontation. Their message: faith shouldn’t be weaponized for political gain — and real change comes from love, not loudness.

Douthat Joins 60 Minutes as Conservative Voice | Spokane News

Ross Douthat, the prominent conservative writer from The New York Times, has officially joined “60 Minutes” as its first full-time correspondent in years — a bold move signaling CBS News’ pivot toward center-left editorial direction under new leadership. His hiring, following the departures of several veterans and the executive producer, marks a strategic shift aimed at reshaping the program’s political tone. Douthat, known for his incisive coverage of politics and religion, brings a high-profile conservative voice to the network — a rare and significant addition. Alongside him, CBS has tapped Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni, and Trevor Phillips as contributors, while longtime anchors like Lesley Stahl and Bill Whitaker return. Despite internal turmoil and criticism over editorial pressure, “60 Minutes” saw a 9% ratings boost last season — hinting at resilience amid change.
