  It is time to draw our lines in the sand as Christians and Conservatives by engaging in public conversations with truth and conviction. 
   
    
   
  Kira Davis has built a brand on reaching out to the other side, on giving people space to be wrong, the space to discuss, the space to tolerate. Unfortunately, the people controlling the public conversations right now will have none of it. We're seeing the lengths they will go to and the lies they let stand in service of crushing 50 percent of this nation. They seek unity through complete elimination of the other side. There are times for compromise and times to draw a line in the sand; the latter has arrived. It is time to draw our lines as Christians and Conservatives.

  Biggest Battles of the Eastern...

  World War II was fought on a scale unlike anything before or since in human history, and the unfathomable casualty counts are attributable in large measure to the carnage inflicted between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during Hitler’s invasion of Russia and Stalin’s desperate defense. The invasion came in 1941 following a nonaggression pact signed between the two in 1939, which allowed Hitler to focus his attention on the west without having to worry about an attack from the eastern front. While Germany was focusing on the west, the Soviet Union sent large contingents of troops to the border region between the two countries, and Stalin’s plan to take territory in Poland and the Baltic States angered Hitler. By 1940, Hitler viewed Stalin as a major threat and had made the decision to invade Russia: “In the course of this contest, Russia must be disposed of...Spring 1941. The quicker we smash Russia the better.”  
  Stalin knew that if he could delay an invasion through the summer of 1941, he would be safe for another year, but Hitler began to plan to invade Russia by May of 1941. Since military secrets are typically the hardest to keep, Stalin soon began to hear rumors of the invasion, but even when Winston Churchill contacted him in April of 1941 warning him that German troops seemed to be massing on Russia’s border, Stalin remained dubious. Stalin felt even more secure in his position when the Germans failed to invade the following May.   
  The Soviets were so caught by surprise at the start of the attack that the Germans were able to push several hundred miles into Russia across a front that stretched dozens of miles long, reaching the major cities of Leningrad and Sevastopol in just three months. In order to make clear his determination to win at all costs, Stalin had the three men in charge of the troops defending Minsk executed for their failure to hold their position.

  The Evolution of Peru's Economy...

  Peru’s economy has undergone a remarkable transformation over the centuries, shaped by geography, cultural heritage, and global economic forces. From the highly organized economic structures of pre-Colonial civilizations to the challenges of modern globalization, Peru’s development reflects a complex interplay of resource management, foreign influence, and domestic policies. Understanding the evolution of Peru’s economy requires a historical perspective that highlights the fundamental shifts in trade, industry, and governance that have defined the nation’s financial landscape.  
    
  The economic foundations of Peru were deeply influenced by its diverse geography and rich natural resources. The Andes, Amazon rainforest, and coastal plains provided a variety of ecosystems that supported agriculture, mining, and trade. Long before Spanish colonization, the Andean civilizations, particularly the Incas, developed sophisticated economic systems that relied on communal labor, redistribution networks, and agricultural innovations. These early economic structures created a foundation for productivity and social organization that persisted even after European intervention.  
    
  The arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century drastically altered Peru’s economic trajectory. The colonial period introduced extractive systems, such as the encomienda and mita, which forced indigenous populations into labor-intensive industries, particularly silver mining. This period established Peru as a key contributor to the Spanish Empire’s wealth but also entrenched an economic model centered on resource extraction and dependency on European markets. The restrictions imposed by Spain limited Peru’s economic autonomy, setting the stage for struggles following independence.
