Whether or not these charges prove true, it appears that the tide has turned against rogue federal agents. On Nov. 25, according to a statement by the Montgomery County Police Department, the department's Special Victims Investigations Division arrested 40-year-old FBI Special Agent Eduardo Valdivia of Gaithersburg, Maryland.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Bible sales are up significantly compared to this time last year. The surge in Bible sales is driven by an uptick in first-time buyers.

Worries about the economy, conflicts abroad and uncertainty over the election pushed readers toward the publication in droves. Bible sales are up 22% in the U.S. through the end of October, compared with the same period last year, according to book tracker Circana BookScan. By contrast, total U.S. print book sales were up less than 1% in that period. Bible sales up 22 percent. Young men more religious than young women for the first time since pollsters started tracking.

Experts note the election, anxiety, and new curiosity — if not commitments — to faith. “People are experiencing anxiety themselves, or they’re worried for their children and grandchildren,” Jeff Crosby, of Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, told the Journal. “It’s related to artificial intelligence, election cycles … and all of that feeds a desire for assurance that we’re going to be OK.” President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the Lee Greenwood “God Bless the USA Bible” ($59.99), which is not included in Circana BookScan figures. Sharing Christianity’s stories has helped Americans handle instability, according to TikToker mother of two Amber Cimiotti, 38. WATCH: Bible sales boom in the US.

People buy print copies to make notes in and highlight, but often supplement them with audiobooks as well. The proliferation of new editions and innovative designs has made this a golden age of Bible publishing. According J. Mark Bertrand, founder of Lectio.org, a website about Bible design, the demand may be largely driven by targeted marketing efforts, alongside a growing demand from people looking for answers. “I’d like to say there is a craving for knowledge of scripture, but a lot of smart people are thinking about Bible marketing and catering to every whim for Bible study,” Bertrand said. Tyndale House Publishers, for example, offers a variety of answers to those whims, including a colorful study Bible with maps and charts and biographies of biblical characters for students. Amy Simpson, Tyndale Bible Department publisher, says there is an increase in interest among members of Generation Z. ” You have a generation that wants to find things that feel more solid,” she says.

This Christmas season feels different, doesn’t it?  There’s just something in the air. Feelings of joy, prosperity, even a tinge of hope. It has a lot to do with Donald Trump’s landslide win earlier this month – and the sense of relief we all feel considering the alternative. But that’s not the only reason for celebrating. Conservatives have been on an upswing lately, not just in politics, but in the culture more generally.  Case in point: it’s no longer social suicide to wear a MAGA hat while sipping from a Leftist tears tumbler in public. Heck, you might even get a high-five or two. Maybe it has something to do with the Bud Light boycott that cost one of America’s major beer brands more than $1 billion. Or seeing exposes like “What Is a Woman?” and “Am I Racist?,” which led to the cult of gender ideology collapsing while DEI grifters fled social media in shame. Elon Musk purchased X and allowed free speech to reign once again. Major corporations started ditching their woke initiatives right and left. It feels good to win for once. But the fight is far from over. To keep this upward trajectory going, conservatives have got to keep supporting companies whose values align with their own. That means shopping for Christmas gifts at companies that still say “Merry Christmas,” for example. Good news – our merch is better than the competitor’s anyway. And whoever is on the receiving end of your gift will be doubly thankful to know that extra thought was put into where it came from.
