Bold and Blunt: Recent Episodes
The Washington Times
Bold and blunt: Washington Times online opinion editor Cheryl Chumley brings her no-holds-barred take on the big issues of the day.
Israel's war on Iran is not so much preemptive, as it is reactive: Iran, after all, through its proxies, has been attacking the Jewish nation for years, most horrifically, perhaps, on October 7, 2023. And now, as Israel targets Iran's military structures and nuclear sites, Iran is responding by hitting Israel's housing sectors and its main hospital. It really is a case of clashing worldviews; it really is a matter of good versus evil. Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is on the ground, in the war-torn areas, setting personal safety aside to get food, medical supplies and other necessities to those Israelis who've seen their homes destroyed by Iranian missiles, or have been displaced out of fears of airstrikes.
It's not enough for Americans to cheer Israel from a distance in the Jewish nation's war against Iran. America ought to be willing to enter militarily if necessary. Israel's war is America's war — is all of civil society's war. And taking out a terrorist threat that has not only gone after Israel's people, but also America's, is not exactly a war of the so-called military industrial complex. It's a war of good versus evil and America is a named enemy. The chant, after all, is "death to Israel, death to America." Dr. Susan Michael, president of International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, talks about what she's hearing from the ground in Israel.
Is the Bible applicable in today's modern society — and can its content be trusted to help believers solve every question that pops up, from which job to take to where to live to what to cook for dinner? Answer: Yes. Many modern Americans believe in God; that is to say, believe God exists. But far too many believers don't think God works in their own personal lives. They think God is too busy, too distant, too unconcerned to deal with the day-to-day. But that's completely untrue. Mark Gerson, author of "God Was Right," has much to say about the matter.
Christians may do a decent job of attending church, reading the Bible and applying biblical truths to their own lives. But where it gets difficult for Christians is when they go to work on Monday — and their jobs are secular so they're expected to leave God at home. But this is not how God wants us to live. God wants to be part of everything; He wants us to walk with Him 24/7, 365 days a year, wherever we are and whatever we're doing. Serving God is not solely a Sunday thing. Jonathan Isaac, NBA star with the Orlando Magic, shares his new Christian apparel line and how he brings God into a sometimes celebrity-driven, secular world.
If America is to stay free, then citizens must be virtuous. But what does that mean? Too often, virtue is a word that's mistakenly used as a synonym for principle or idea or value. And if people can't even agree on its definition, then how can we instill it as a need in the minds of Americans? David Hein, author of "Teaching the Virtues," discusses.
The pharmaceutical industry in America has grown its profits massively in recent years, but if you think executives are passing this along to the consumer, think again. Americans are having to pay twice as much, three times as much — 15 times as much — for the same medicines Big Pharma sells to others around the world. Why is that? Part of the reason is — they can. They've taken full advantage of the free market this country provides, and have spent their profits more on marketing and advertising than on lowering prescription costs. J.D. Hayworth, former congressman now with Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, talks solutions.
Math to many is just another class to struggle through; just another course that has to be taken in order to graduate or get into college. And one of the most common questions among math-haters in school is this: Why do I need to know this if I'm not going into math for a career? The reason is simple. Math is God's way of laying out the universe. Dr. William West discusses his years of research, in his new "Sacred Science," that attributes God's universal creation to eight mathematical equations.
Moving from the Joe Biden White House to the Donald Trump Administration has been like a shift from dark to light, from night to day — from evil to good, even. Just look at the latest revelations from a former Biden aide who said many in the Democrat Party regarded Trump as such an existential threat to society that they willingly engaged in "undemocratic" actions so long as the end result brought destruction against all-things-MAGA. Talk about evil. Mary Walter, host of Mary Walter Radio, talks up the good, bad and ugly of politics, and particularly of Team Trump.
The Founding Fathers would have been very pleased with some of the politics of modern America, but on the other hand, very displeased with others. Benjamin Franklin, in particular, would not favor the growth of government — but at the same time, he would appreciate some of the globalism that has advanced the economies of the world. Mark Skousen is an eighth-generation descendant of Franklin and has penned the book, "The Greatest American," aimed at showing why this founder-slash-inventor-slash-diplomat was truly so genius.
President Donald Trump is an expert strategist, a national treasure and a true American patriot. But he's still only human, and therefore, prone to political missteps and mistakes. And on his recent Middle East trip, he's cut deals that might very well prove to be costly for America down the line. It's like when Republicans thought they could turn China into a more modern, capitalistic and free society by opening the nation's doors to economic opportunity. Beware entangling overseas alliances, George Washington warned. Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, a Muslim-turned-Christian and a U.S. national security expert, tells where Trump may have fallen a bit short on his Mideast dealings.
About half of Americans believe this nation was founded on divine intervention and Christian principles, to be used by God for heavenly purposes — and the rest don't know truthful history. Too many leftists are trying to eradicate the factual founding of this country, as a means of getting rid of God from the public square. Michael Medved's newest movie, "The American Miracle," shows with historical accuracy the greatness of this country has been rooted in godly intervention since the beginning.
The communists in China have been busily clamping down on religious freedoms, and have even issued new regulations that mandate missionaries must register with the CCP before entering the country. But the backlash is rising. And the more the CCP tries to stifle religious freedom — the more the CCP tries to persecute Christians — the more Christianity blossoms. As Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern, says: China, unbelievably enough, is now the number one exporter of Christian missionaries to the world.
All Christians struggle to walk that fine line between being bold, but staying humble — but for Christian women, the struggle is perhaps even more difficult. Why? Women are often told and taught that it's their biblical role to walk in quiet obedience to their husbands, to their church leaders, to those they are serving — yet this is not how Jesus saw women. And it's a shame when women who have talents and gifts galore are shamed into silence based on faulty Bible teachings. Maybe that's why young women are leaving the church nowadays. Misty Phillip has a new book, “Spark Your Influence,” that teaches women specifically how to be submissive yet bold — just as Jesus was.
Marxism has really snuck into America's churches, and that's a problem for several reasons — mostly because it leads congregations down a path of false teaching. Marxist teachings come from Satan, not God. If America's faith communities are filled with those who think Jesus would be a socialist or communist or Marxist if he were walking the earth today, then this country is on a crash course for destruction. America is only as strong as its churches. Chad Connelly, founder of Faith Wins, discusses the problems with today's churches, as well as the Donald Trump administration's open embrace of Christianity.
President Donald Trump has gone increasingly public with his faith, even mentioning the left's dreaded J-word — Jesus — for all the world to hear. This is good for all of America because when there's a White House that recognizes and respects the Christian founding of the country, the concept of God-given rights and liberties shines brightly. But it's not just in the political circles that Christianity is coming alive. The culture — the world of entertainment — is striking back at the darkness and evil that's crept into movies, into games, into videos over the years. Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media, talks about the more godly times we're seeing in America.
The latest Pew Research Center survey numbers of this White House's favor with the people are in and no surprise, Republicans by and large are loving President Donald Trump, while Democrats are not. Democrats are in lockstep on their hatred for Trump's policies. But America is back on track for a new age of golden politicking, including in foreign affairs. Shea Bradley Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute, speaks from Hungary about the regard for Trump she's experiencing on the streets in Europe.
Christians, are you tired of your money being used to advance causes that completely conflict with biblical teachings and truths? Are you concerned your banking decisions and financial investments will ultimately help fund abortion, far-left interests and outright evil activities? Nick Vujicic of NickV Ministries talks about his newest venture, ProLifeFinTech, a financial technology company that actually provides pro-life banking solutions to Christians and those of faith.
It’s Holy Week, one of Christianity’s most reflective of seasons, and no time like the leadup to Easter to talk all-things-pope. Pope Francis has waded into politics in ways that have outraged many in America, particularly on border control, capitalism and climate change. So what’s a good Catholic to do? As author, singer, podcaster, journalist Raymond Arroyo of Fox News and EWTN fame: This is a time of great optimism for the church, for the faith, and for believers.
Mark Zuckerberg is in court right now, fighting an antitrust suit brought by the FTC against his Meta for a previous purchase of WhatsApp and Instagram. But this is a weak lawsuit. And sad to say, for conservatives who’ve been desiring a take-down of Zuckerberg for his brash and anti-American stifling of free speech on his social media platforms — this isn’t a case that should be cheered. Why? Principle matters. Principle, not politics, matters when it comes to rule of law, the Constitution and the long-term future of American freedoms. Robert Bork Jr. discusses.
Today’s youth are facing a crisis of confidence that comes from years of being pat on the head and told that the true purpose of life is to find happiness for happiness’ sake — character, hard work, goal-setting, achievement and living God’s will be danged. Blame it on the participation trophy types. They were the ones who told kids self-esteem has nothing to do with achieving based on work and creativity and drive. Now America’s younger generations are floundering a bit in the work force, expecting things they haven’t earned and feeling like failures — and quitting — when they don’t get what they expect. Successful businessman and “Solid Ground” author Tom Lewis tells how to get youth back on the track of godly and productive living, and in turn, all of America.
Members of the press by and large lean left — that’s the truth; polls and surveys over the years have shown most journalists vote Democrat, even the ones who claim to be independent. This is a problem because it means the American people can’t trust the reporters to report honestly on the political landscape. Just ask President Donald Trump — Russia collusion, pee tapes and more Russia collusion! And what about Hunter Biden? Roger Ream, president of The Fund for American Studies, discusses the state of today’s media landscape and how it can be better balanced.
It’s time for America to take back its education system and teach the coming generations in the proper way to go — meaning, let’s leave the Marxism at home. American Exceptionalism relies on the idea that individual freedoms and rights come from a Creator; that each and every individual is born with God-given rights and liberties. And it also relies on the idea that America has done great good in the world. But today’s schools are teaching the opposite — that there is no God, that government is the provider of all and that America is the root of all that’s gone wrong in the world. Colorado Christian University’s president, Eric Hogue, talks about how to save education, save the minds of America’s youth and ultimately, save America.
One of the greatest ways to ensure America stays free and Americans maintain their individual liberties is to fill the halls and offices of government with those who understand the concept of God-given liberties and rights — that is to say, Christians, and those of Judeo-Christian belief. That's a nightmare for the left. But it's really the way to preserve the concept of individualism and limited governance that Founding Fathers gave when they forged this great nation. Adam Josefczyk and his Forge Leadership staff are busily training the next generation of leaders to do just that.
Fully 53 percent of Pew Research Center respondents said there were too few American women in politics. What do you think? What's clear is that there are too few women holding Republican Party offices. When you look at the data and break down the figures, whether it's federal, state or municipal offices, fact is Democrats outnumber Republicans when it comes to women office-holders. This trend needs to change. Rep. Lisa McClain is the House Republican Conference chair and the highest ranking woman in House Republican leadership, and she has quite a bit to say about the state of the nation, the state of Democrats, the state of the leftist attacks on President Donald Trump and more — and all in time for Women's History Month.
Are you one of the millions of Americans who still have questions about what happened on January 6, the day Donald Trump is blamed for causing an uproar at the Capitol? Well, thankfully some have done some deep dive investigative looks at the activities on Capitol Hill that day, and as it turns out — surprise, surprise, wink, wink — the government narrative isn't exactly truthful. Chris Burgard talks about his investigation to find the truth of January 6, and the film he produced that he says clearly shows: this day was a "psychological operation run with military precision" by those who wanted to make sure Donald Trump would never, ever, ever become president.
Miracles do exist. And even though some Christians are torn over believing miracles still exist today, fact is, God does indeed perform miracles regularly, and plenty of evidence shows that to be true. Billy Hallowell has a new documentary called "Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles," and in it, he takes a deep dive journalistic look at claims of medical healings and other such miraculous stories and finds — it's true. God is very much active in the lives of His creations and He does, indeed, perform miracles.
Polls consistently show Ronald Reagan is considered one of America's greatest and favorite presidents and after all these years, it's still easy to understand why: He was the great communicator who looked at America through the rosiest of glasses. He saw the good in people. He saw the good in the nation. And he constantly inspired all to seek the good, no matter their individual circumstances. Today, the political climate is far too divided to expect a unity of any sorts from Washington, D.C. But back in Reagan's day, his leadership helped fuel some of the greatest feats in both politics and foreign affairs. No wonder today's politicians all want to be compared to him. Frank Lavin served with Reagan and says in his "Inside the Reagan White House" that Americans can still learn many lessons from the Gipper that apply today, particularly for those in leadership roles.
Have you ever wondered why communists build such ugly gray cement structures? Or why artwork from leftists seems so very often vulgar and depraved? It's part of their ideology, that's why. There are key psychological reasons that those on the left seek, through culture and art and entertainment, to demonize all that's traditionally regarded as beautiful, as inspirational, as breathtaking. There's a reason Jill Biden, former first lady, offered the world such a bizarre and freaky Christmas show within the supposedly hallowed halls of the White House. Campus Reform editor-in-chief Zachary Marschall talks about the state of American art, from the breaking news perspective of what President Donald Trump is doing with the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The youth of America are still embracing socialism, according to recent reports. And that's becoming a real problem for American Exceptionalism. After all, if the roots of America's greatness are vested in the idea that individual rights and liberties come from God, and government only serves to protest and preserve those individual rights and liberties, then the opposite — the opposing — view of socialism, which serves the state interests first and foremost, is the big enemy. You can't have individualism and collectivism at the same time. The two are at odds. JT Young, author of "Unprecedented Assault," talks about socialism in America and advises how best to fight it.
Democrats keep making massive political missteps, and if they continue down this path, they won't only lose the midterms -- they'll lose their ability to win leadership posts in Congress and in the White House for years and years to come. That's great news for conservatives. But the question is: Why? Why are Democrats so resistant to embrace even the most common sense and unifying agendas of this Donald Trump presidency, the ones that include cleaning up waste and corruption in budget books? Constitutional conservative Allen West talks about the state of MAGA, of Democrats, of the nation and warns: Democrats worship a false god called Big Government, and they won't embrace America First agendas any time soon.
Everybody knows America's public school systems have fallen in ratings and standards these past years, and are failing to educate children in the ways they need to lead fruitful, prosperous lives. But it's not enough to be aware of the sad state of America's education systems. It's high time to do something about it. If we want an America that's led by people who understand the concept of American Exceptionalism, who recognize the roots of American Exceptionalism, and who know what it takes to win the war against American Exceptionalism -- and keep individual liberties intact for decades to come -- we need to educate the coming generation of leaders to love and cherish America. Nicholas Giordano, as a college professor and media figure, sees first hand how the dumbing down of America has led to a large population of ignoramuses. He has much to say about how to reverse this sad and sorry trend.
Did you hear President Donald Trump's inaugural speech? How about his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast? In both, Trump spoke openly, bluntly, boldly about the need for America to get back in the faith -- to reclaim the greatness of our country that comes from the Creator. And after four long years of having the previous administration push transgender rights, gay rights, and all things secular, all while hanging the rainbow flag from the White House -- having a president who actively and unabashedly embraces God is not only refreshing; it's a bright shiny ray of sunshine on America's future. God-given rights and liberties are the basic building blocks of American Exceptionalism. Thankfully, faith seems to be surging in America right now, and that all bodes well for the fate of American individualism. Pastor, author, podcaster and public speaker David Fiorazo discusses the crucial links between faith and liberty.
Look around and watch as the savings grow: President Donald Trump's new administration is taking it seriously to save the U.S. taxpayer from waste and corruption. There's a cut coming to USAID. There are billions of dollars in cuts coming by way of Elon Musk's DOGE. There are cuts coming by way of the pause in federal grant funding. And it's all good for citizens who want a government of transparency and accountability. Bill Walton, whose widely skilled background hails from the worlds of business and finance and media and even movie-making -- he says Trump has come in and issued a sort of "shock and awe" type of agenda. It won't be long before citizens start feeling the financial boom that's on its way.
If you want to see this nation's public education system returned to its days of glory -- when it really educated kids and taught them to critically think -- then it all starts with abolishing the federal stranglehold on K-12 public schools. Abolish the Department of Education and watch as the teachers' unions fall; watch as the Democrat Party's ability to shove radical and Marxist ideologies into the school systems fail; watch as America's next generation of leaders start emerging from schools with the truthful teachings of American Exceptionalism they need to keep this country on top of the global stage for years to come. Erika Donalds is an education expert who says it's high time to get rid of the Department of Education -- and that President Donald Trump is just the right guy to make that happen.
President Donald Trump's first few days in office have been filled with speedy, decisive actions and thankfully, giving the boot to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies has been a top priority. No more DEI in the federal government. No more DEI in the military. And the trickle-down effect is impacting businesses and schools and soon enough, there will be no more DEI in corporations and the education system. Marxists are crying. Americans are applauding. And people like Ryan Walters, superintendent of Oklahoma schools, who has been fighting DEI against Democrats for years -- can finally rest a bit easier. America is certainly entering a golden age.
It's the dawning of truth again in America, as President Donald Trump issued an executive order making clear there are only two sexes, male and female. And all the leftists go: No! The LGBTQ community that has so long, under Democrat coddling, pushed its extreme and radical and deceptive agenda into the public square is up in arms about this executive order. They know it's more than just a message. It's a complete policy reversal that's going to have a ripple effect into the states, into the school systems, and having an effect on everything from jail placements to passports. The chaos that's coming for the long-time liars who've insisted boys can be girls whenever they want is actually quite humorous. It's a confusion that's of their own making. But for the rest of us, common sense is making a comeback. Parent Cheryl Saltzman, a whistleblower for Campus Reform, talks about how her daughter's college Resident Assistant was a male who purposely pretended to be a girl just so he could room right alongside the real girls.
In barely a blink of an eye after the inauguration, President Donald Trump was already moving to undo many of the damaging agendas brought forth by the previous Joe Biden team. MAGA is on the march. And for the next four years, expect more of the same. Jenna Ellis, who served as Trump's legal adviser during his first presidency, speaks to the next four years and what Americans can expect. And guess what? It's pretty much positive for the patriots of the nation. The media? The media may sell a different narrative, though. Be on guard for spin.
There's a boom in the number of Muslims who are turning to Christ, and the reasons are varied but it all basically comes down to this: the truths of the Bible cannot be ignored. The spirit is on the move. And if Christians want to learn how best to engage with those of different faiths, particularly of Islam faith, then this is the show that teaches. Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco is a real warrior for Christ. But she wasn't always this way. She followed the Muslim faith for years and years until one day, she heard the voice of Christ and knew: she could not deny the promises of Christianity were true.
The new year in America sadly kicked off with terrorist attacks that left scores dead and injured. But more may be on the way. The warnings to America about the threats of radical Islamist terror have been on the walls for years now. It's just that too many political leaders, particularly in the Democratic Party, have failed to acknowledge them and act accordingly. Thankfully, Donald Trump is taking over the White House and bringing with him a team of officials who fully understand you can't fight terror with fancy talk and diplomacy and concessions. But that doesn't automatically erase the risk. As Israel Ellis, author of a book about the warning signs of terror, says: America must wake up and smell the terrorism. Our nation has been ignoring the signs of looming attacks for far too long, he says.
The federal government, back in campaign season, put out word that violent crime in America was down -- and not just by a little, but by quite a bit. The government put out this word because that's what the FBI said to be true. So Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and all the Democrats and the leftist boot-lickers in the media went on a concerted journey to tell how Donald Trump was lying when he said crime in America was up, up, up, and also how lucky Americans were to have a president like Biden who actually lowered crime around the nation. Then the FBI's revised statistics came out and voila, suddenly it was seen: Trump was right. Crime was up, up, up. Violent crime had risen under Biden. And all the deep staters went, whoops! Democrats and deep state players will always pretend like crime falls under their watch, even when it's oh-so-untrue. But states don't have to rely on the feds to provide border security and crime-fighting tools to ensure their communities are safe from criminals. As Christopher Holton, a senior analyst with Center for Security Policy says, states can do a lot right now to make sure criminals aren't committing crimes in their local communities. Tune in for the recommendations.
For far too long, America has tried to work with China, instead of fight against China, all due to the misguided hope that if the communists were only given enough economic opportunity and treated to the same sort of U.S. foreign policy favoritism as other nations, then the CCP would shed its commie ways and walk a more Western government path. Now the cows have come home. Now it's time to pay the piper. Now the facts are showing that China has simply pretended to work with the West all the while building up its military, its economic influence, its communist propaganda plans, its psychological warfare. China expert and author Bill Gertz says America's missteps on China policy has "created a monster." But it's not too late for America, he says, so long as the political winds shift in the right direction.
Ask most Americans who follow politics to name the worst president in U.S. history and Jimmy Carter regularly comes to mind. But because of the utter fecklessness of Joe Biden -- Carter's legacy has changed a bit and now he seems better when compared to the present administration. But the gaslighting can only go so far. One media outlet is even claiming Carter wasn't a liberal -- that he was a conservative who paved the way to Ronald Reagan. As if Ronald Reagan needed paving. Historian and best-selling author Craig Shirley looks at Carter's presidency and talks about the truths of the 39th president's legacy. It's not all bad; but he definitely wasn't a conservative.
We're all commanded to share our faith with others -- but Christians don't always do a good job of it for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they are afraid they won't have all the right answers. Perhaps they are worried about sounding like a Jesus freak. Perhaps they are uncomfortable talking openly about their personal lives. Or perhaps they don't feel equipped to speak on behalf of God because they don't, for whatever reason, think they're good examples of God's grace. Whatever the reason, though, fact is: we're still commissioned to share our faith in Christ -- and this is what Sarah Rivette does on this episode. If you want to hear a touching story of how God works, and why you need God -- from someone who did not always believe in God -- then tune in.
It's Christmas season, so no time like now to hear how God works in the lives of His believers. Billy Hallowell, one of the nation's premier "faith" journalists -- who covers faith issues -- shares how God has worked in His life, through good times and bad, light times and dark. And the takeaway for listeners is simple: God loves you just as much and works in your life just as frequently. The key to knowing God's will, and how He's working, is to listen and to read the Bible.
Christians in Syria are facing a dangerous unknown. Will the de facto leadership grant them religious liberty? Or will they become the latest target of Islamic leaders who abuse their positions to persecute Christians? Remember how the Taliban in Afghanistan promised to respect the individual rights after America withdrew forces -- and then practically overnight broke those promises. The same could happen in Syria. As Rusty Reno warns, Christians in Syria are a bit on edge right now, and justifiably so.
Drones are flying in hundreds of spots above several states on the East Coast and the response from the White House, when asked what they are and who's flying them and what they're doing, is this: eh -- don't worry about it. If Americans could only trust their federal government officials, maybe that'd be an answer that would sell. But trust in government has fallen dramatically in recent decades. And trust in the Joe Biden administration in particular is at a deep, dip low -- and that's because this White House has been feckless on national security issues from beginning to end. As retired Lt. Col. and best-selling author Tony Shaffer says: "It's like a scene from Blazing Saddles" with this White House. That is to say: comical at best.
Is Donald Trump's White House return the fulfillment of prophecy? That's the question asked -- and even answered -- by Troy Anderson, author of the best-selling "The Trump Code," a journalistic look at a fiction title penned 130 years ago that has striking similarities to today's politics and culture, including an eerily copycat image of Donald Trump's son, Barron.
Everybody knows President Joe Biden failed to enforce border control. Everyone knows one of this administration's most dangerous policies for American citizens was the White House's utter refusal to keep illegals out of this country. But guess what: it's even worse than you imagined. The numbers of crimes committed by illegals are even higher than reported. John Lott has tracked the figures and analyzed the data and his findings are this: the costs to citizens from illegals are tremendous -- and it's not just financial, but personal safety that's the issue.
There's a new transgender threat in town, and this one is really hitting hard at the children. Down in Florida is a community that's been allowing men dressed provocatively as women to hang out in a park -- where children play. What is wrong with this picture, America? A few years ago, such displays would've required the intervention of police. Now? They go forth with alarming frequency. Guest Kelley Yates, an etiquette expert who's been warning of the LGBTQ madness for some time, details this latest evil, as well as what she's doing to fight it.
President Joe Biden just gave his son, Hunter, the pardon of all pardons, one that doesn't just erase his known and jury-convicted crimes, but also whatever other crimes he may or may not have committed over the course of a ten-year period. How sweet to be the family member of this corrupt Joe Biden. Meanwhile, back in the federal system, rot away hundreds of others who've been tossed behind bars for the crime of -- protesting? Being a conservative? Supporting Donald Trump? The January 6 imprisoned ones aren't all completely innocent of criminal behavior. But as Ed Martin, one of the attorneys who has been working their cases from Day One, says -- most are facing punishments that far and away exceed whatever crimes they supposedly committed. Some, he says, are completely innocent. What of their plights? Ed Martin discusses.
Special counsel Jack Smith may be stepping aside from his prosecutorial persecutions of Donald Trump -- at least, for the time being. But he leaves behind a trail of destruction. And one such victim, Steve Stockman, former congressman, says he spent three years in jail due to Jack Smith's unjust investigations and prosecutions that came largely in defense of Barack Obama. Stockman apparently made the political mistake of using his congressional platform to investigate Obama -- and for that, he had to pay. Stockman talks about his time in jail and his dealings with Jack Smith, whom he describes as "Obama's enforcer" and a very evil man.
Joe Biden's administration has sent America hurtling down a path of war, with the latest reversals of policy allowing U.S. long-range missiles to be sent to Ukraine for use in Russia. But blink, and Biden's reversed another long-standing policy, i.e., he's also OK-ing America to send anti-personnel mines to Ukraine for use against Russia, as well. Thing is, Ukraine has signed a global treaty committing itself to never using the anti-personnel mines. The mess Biden is leaving Donald Trump is just getting uglier. No wonder America's allies can't wait for him to exit, stage left, the White House. Foreign policy expert Shea Bradley-Farrell discusses how Trump can speedily end the Ukraine-Russia war, just like he promised on the campaign trail.
The elections may have gone the right way. America may be poised to see saner times. Americans may be on the cusp of regaining a better economy, a safer community, a more peaceful atmosphere. But that doesn't mean Christians should sit back and rest easy now and let the politicians do as they will. The exceptionalism of America is that individuals are endowed by their Creator with certain rights -- life, liberty, pursuit of happiness -- and that governments are supposed to be filled with humble servants who simply protect those individual rights and liberties. That requires an active, informed citizenry -- and to keep the "God-given" in place, it requires godly, moral citizens to stay active in government. Christians, an awakening is still needed in this nation. Just because the elections have ended doesn't mean an end to Christians involving themselves in politics and culture. Pastor Jack Graham speaks on the elections and what's in store for America, and why Christians need to stay alert and active in the culture.
Scarcely had Donald Trump been declared the winner of the presidential election and the markets had already surged -- and not just the stock market. Across all business sectors, the numbers were up, promising a solid four years of financial growth in America. Donald Trump certainly is the candidate of MAPA -- Make America Prosperous Again. Financial expert David Bahnsen weighs in on what we can expect in the next four years.
If we want America to stay free for decades to come, it's not the political world that matters most, but rather the spiritual world. Founders warned that America's government would only stay limited in scope and the nation's liberties would only remain intact so long as the citizens were moral and virtuous. And taking morals and virtues from one's own heart and mind is a recipe for disaster -- as we've seen in this growing secular, growing Big Government society. The solution to socialism is to elect those who serve with humble hearts, fully aware that America is a nation of individualists who take their marching orders from God, not government. Carter Wrenn, longtime political strategist for the GOP, speaks about the roots of liberty and the direction Americans need to walk to preserve freedom.
Donald Trump's win of the White House means his politically driven, politically motivated prosecutions, led in large part by bureaucrat Jack Smith, go up in smoke and disappear. And that's not just good news for Trump. That's good news for all Americans who've watched with rising alarm the absolute detestable way our justice and intel systems have been weaponized by Democrats against their political opponents. Don Brown, author of "Kangaroo Court," describes a time of utter tyranny in America that's now thankfully coming to an end.
Everybody by now knows that Planned Parenthood has engaged in some pretty horrific acts, even more horrific than aborting babies. Can you say harvesting body parts? But wait, it gets even worse. Seth Gruber has taken a deep dive look into the beginning days of Planned Parenthood, the statements and actions of Margaret Sanger, who started the organization, and at the links -- the oh so many links -- of Sanger and PP with some very wicked, evil, despicable organizations, individuals and movements. And after reading his book and watching his movie, what's clear is this: The depths of evil of the abortion industry is truly demonic.
America needs a great awakening -- a spiritual revival to right the course away from God and back to godly governance. Some church leaders even say we're in the midst of a great awakening. Are we? That may be a point to debate, but what's irrefutable is that the Founders warned us that the Republic they gave us would only last so long as the people of the nation were moral and virtuous -- and that where secularism grows, so, too, tyranny. This is the dark path America has been walking for some time. Gina Gleason with Real Impact and Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California, has been fighting to get churches more involved in politics and culture for years and she says she's seeing a lot of quiet Christians become louder and more involved in recent times. This is good news for America.
America sees hundreds of thousands of abortions performed each year, and this is a tragedy. And some of those women, no doubt, would not want to have their abortions if only the men in their lives stepped up and made the right remarks at the right time and in the right tone -- in other words, if the men in their lives vowed to be there for them throughout the life of the child. But as Roland Warren says, men have been told for too long now that a woman's right to choose an abortion is none of their business. So the sad and sorry situation has become: abortion is a woman's issue. But truly, it's not. It's actually a religious issue and a matter for the church and a matter for the family. If we want fewer abortions, we need to press forward the idea that women are not alone in their decisions on whether or not to birth their children. And men need to do better jobs of stepping up and assuming their responsibilities.
Americans are growing weary of all the lies of the left, and it's having a dramatic effect on the level of trust placed in our systems. This suspicious nature is actually a good thing, though, because it means Americans are awakening to their foundational principles, which are rooted in the concept of trust, but verify -- and then demand accountability. If only the news media weren't so filled with open liars and Marxists, though. Bianca de la Garza, longtime member of the media, has seen firsthand how her colleagues advance a biased and pro-leftist narrative. She discusses her new book "Incoming: On the Front Lines of the Left's War on Truth."
One of the questions that persists among Christians is whether or not they should run for political office. And to that -- a resounding yes. The reason America is in such a moral decay with a political world that's overburdening the average citizen is that Christians have been far too silent on matters of governance. Meg Weinberger is seeking a Florida state seat -- and has an interesting story about what led her to run for office. More men and women of faith could take a page from her story and do similarly. It would help save the nation from Marxists.
It's not hyperbole to say this November's election is probably one of the most important presidential contests in recent decades, with not just the fate of America in the balance, but also, the future of liberty and peace around the world. U.S.-Israel relations have hit horrible lows under this current Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, and enemies of the West have taken notice. Frankly, if Harris wins, expect attacks on Israel to grow to the point where an all-out global assault on Western values and governments will occur. If Donald Trump wins? The opposite. Peace, as seen under his first administration, will prevail. Elliott Abrams, former Ronald Reagan administration official, discusses the importance of the election and the need for Jews to recapture their heritage, and why it all matters in America.
This November election is about way more than just Republican versus Democrat. It's about the state of freedom in America, and the fate of peace over chaos around the world. The differences between the two candidates couldn't be more clear-cut, and it's incumbent on voters to move past their personal dislikes and cast ballots with clear eyes. Donald Trump is the guy who can calm the foreign policy fires; Kamala Harris is the candidate who will only stoke flames further. Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to Trump, has a new book, "Battle for the Jewish State," that makes the layman's case that peace in Israel is crucially tied to Americans' fate. Vote wisely; the world's future depends on it.
Democrats don't like the idea of self-governance, and they certainly don't like the notion of God-given rights and liberties. Why not? It cuts into their power. So what Democrats do in order to destroy American Exceptionalism and the concept of individualism and God-given rights is they divide the nation into tiny segments of easily controlled special interest groups. Then they pit those smaller groups against each other to cause little angry wars. Then they swoop in and pretend like they're the ones who can calm the wars and bring peace to society. Race-based politics and race-baiting political enemies are Democrats' favorite tools. A.J. Rice, author of "The White Privilege Album," talks about the Dems' favorite divide-and-conquer games, and tells how civil America can prevail against these petty political strategies.
If you take a look at the lay of America's political landscape, it's difficult to see why Democrats are so vicious, so divisive, so angry. But then if you look at the high numbers of atheists and secularists and "nones" who call the Democrat Party their political home, it all starts to make sense. New research from George Barna shows there is indeed a direct link between a worldview that's devoid of God, and mental illness. America doesn't just need citizens to believe in God to keep the government moral and to keep society free. America needs citizens to believe in God so there aren't so many mentally ill people roaming the streets, starting trouble and engaging in violence. Jesus is the peacekeeper, after all.
Democrats do love their race cards. That's because they really don't have principles and platforms upon which to stand -- at least, they don't have the principles and platforms that resonate with the American people. So they have to disguise their true intents by distracting from their true intents. Democrats figure if they can drive emotions high enough and spark anger and fuel fury, and point the source of America's problems at Donald Trump, then their candidate, Kamala Harris, will win this November. What drives emotions and sparks fury better than racism? Thus: this is how Democrats campaign. Albin Sadar just penned a piece called "Beware the party of 'acceptable racism.'" He discusses why Democrats do so love to accuse of racism.
All things through Christ -- and that applies to the fight to restore the American Dream, as well. America may be facing attacks from communists and socialists and collectivists and secularists who want to turn this nation's government and culture into something it's not -- who want to rebuild the country by ripping out its very roots. But the demise of America isn't set in stone. It's not a done deal. As Tim Goeglein with Focus on the Family says -- the 1960s may have ushered in a time of cultural upheaval and moral degradation. But a nation rooted on godly principles can recover and emerge in unity. This is the fight before us, he says.
If America is to keep intact its God-given rights and liberties, then America must keep God at the helm -- it's just common sense. Remove God from "God-given" and there's a void. What happens is government steps in and takes over God's domain. Government becomes a sort of god to the people. God-given morphs into Government-given. And what government gives -- government can take. This is the root of all that ails in America right now. Rob Pacienza, faith leader and public speaker, has much to say about the need to keep God at the helm of society.
America's divided, that's true. But it doesn't have to be that way. If Americans would return to the time when political opposition didn't bring out the daggers and knives, and instead, could solve differences with courteous rhetoric -- well, then, half of the divisions in this nation would go by the wayside. But with a most contested presidential election on the horizon -- and coming as it does on the heels of an attempted assassination on a former U.S. president -- the chances of cooler heads prevailing is slim to none. Dr. Warren Farrell has some ideas on getting along with others, though. And it's well worth the while to listen and heed his advice.
The endless war that seems to be taking shape between Ukraine and Russia is born of the Democrat Party. And isn't that interesting because it's always the Republican Party that's called the party of war-mongers? If Kamala Harris is elected president, count on more tax dollars being spent in Ukraine. If Donald Trump is elected president, count on the war coming to a speedy end. The question, in the meanwhile, persists: What is America's real interest in this war? Shea Bradley-Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute, sheds some light.
It's not enough to watch the news and read the newspaper and listen to talk radio to get the truth -- today's voters have to be discerning about which outlets are purposely stifling truth to advance an agenda. The Democrats have made entire campaigns out of changing realities by advancing perceptions, by advancing lies, by repeating lies enough times so voters are confused. That's really how the left wins elections; by disguising their communist and socialist agendas. But voter manipulation has reached all-time highs in America, and this November is crucial for Americans to beware the lies. Craig Huey weighs in with words of wisdom to see the truth from the lies.
Time is ticking on America's ability to beat back the evil of communism that China wants to spread around the world. Political leaders don't have much longer to take serious and dramatic action to reel in the CCP. But with the right commander-in-chief, and the right policies put forth, and the right level of determination, America can keep communism at bay, says Dennis Unkovic, author of "The Fragility of China." The CCP has several weaknesses, namely its economy, and America could take advantage -- if only politicians awaken and resolve to win this fight.
One of the harshest questions for those who've suffered some sort of terrible and undeserved tragedy to ponder is the one that plagues believers and nonbelievers alike -- and it goes like this: Why does God let bad things happen to good people? Such is the stuff of daily struggle for those seeking to understand why there's so much suffering in the world -- or maybe, more personally, why they themselves are suffering. Ben Locke was well on his way to having a star-like life, when tragedy struck. He struggled for a long time to understand why. And now he's written the book, "In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near."
Summer's at an end and the college campuses are starting to fill with students again. But they're not all there to learn. Many have been taking a page from last spring's pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-semitic protesters on college campuses around the nation, and vowing more of the same this year. Yes, they've been organizing over the summer months to double down efforts for more protests this fall. Get ready for the mayhem. Ken Tashjy with Campus Reform weighs in on what's going on and why and more importantly, perhaps, what can be done to stop the insanity.
Success is such a funny thing because a) people define it differently and b) much of what seems to lead to success is actually counterintuitive to success. So what if you knew some of the key traits that typically bring success, no matter how you defined it -- and no matter how the tides shifted and times changed? Bob Harward has a book, "The Gouge," that talks of some of the keys to success and teaches how to rise above even the most difficult of situations.
If you want to know how to cut crime in America, then the real solution won't be found in the political realm -- but rather the spiritual. Crime is a condition of a sick soul; a sign of moral decay. And government, no matter how hard it tries, can never, never, never fix a moral compass of society. That's God's domain. Dale Sutherland is a former police officer turned pastor who spent much of his undercover narcotics officer work on the streets of Washington, D.C., helping those he arrested come to Christ and become productive members of society.
It's bad enough having to work, work, work to eke out a living. But imagine having to fight government bureaucrats for the right to work -- for the right to actually make money to provide for self and family and live independently. Well, think back to the COVID years and that's exactly what so many Americans had to do. They were ordered to stay home, stay off the streets, stay out of work and wait for the stimulus money. But just because COVID's gone doesn't mean Big Government isn't trying to dictate how and whether people can work. Melony Armstrong wanted to keep open her hair braiding business in Mississippi. Government tried to tell her she couldn't, unless she abided by certain ridiculous and costly mandates of the State Board of Cosmetology. So Melony turned to a legal group, the Institute for Justice, to sue. And seven or so years of legal fighting later -- she won. Now imagine that happening to you. Is this America, land of the free? Or not?
American freedoms are being threatened by a force from within, and it's called cultural Marxism. If we don't see the threat, we can't fight the threat. And if we can't fight the threat, America is a blink away from crumbling. Elections are important, but putting God back at the helm of America is even more important. Tony Shaffer discusses politics and the perils of Marxism destroying the country.
Politicians love to point with alarm and outrage at the homeless problem in America as the fault of business -- for not paying fair salaries -- but it's more to truth that government is the source of the crisis. If government didn't have such burdensome restrictions on building, based on zoning policies, or environmental regulation, or other costly permitting requirements, then free market builders would be freed to build and potential homeowners would be in better financial positions to buy. Jim Burling, with Pacific Legal Foundation, has conducted in-depth research on the homeless crisis in America and has found, in his new "Nowhere to Live," that government is to blame for almost all that ails those living in the streets and in tents.
If you want to vote for one single issue that matters the most this November, it's the foreign policy fight between America and China. America, based on a culture and creed of individualism, is losing to the communists and collectivists of China because American politicians have failed to see the danger, speak the danger and subsequently stop the danger. The communists are selling their communism around the world and America is rapidly being replaced on the international stage. Guy Taylor, editor of Threat Status at The Washington Times, lays out the many ways America needs to stand up and fight back -- else face a loss of epic proportions to the CCP.
The Democrats of today are hardly the same Democrats of yesteryear and rather than do what's best for America, seem more bent on destroying this nation. One way they do that? Weaponizing government against the people. It's gotten to the point Congress is holding hearings about all the ways the leftists have used government to go after citizens. Peter Navarro, one of the Democrats' latest victims, emerged from four months behind bars to give a tremendous speech on the Republican convention stage in Milwaukee. He's also certain Donald Trump will win in November, and he has a new book detailing what policies the next MAGA administration needs to implement within 100 days of taking over the White House.
Democrats are in an uproar over the latest Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. And they've turned vicious claws toward the justices in hopes of taking them down somehow. They want to impeach; they want to pack the court; they want to pass a constitutional amendment unraveling SCOTUS's immunity decision. But good luck with any and all of that. The immunity ruling was really just an underscore of what's common sense: that is, presidents in the White House must be freed to make decisions on behalf of America and Americans without having to worry about being sued for the rest of their lives by political enemies. Jim Gilmore, former governor of Virginia, discusses why this case is one of the most important SCOTUS rulings in court history.
Journalists already aren't very well regarded in America when it comes to trust. Now, it's about to get even worse. State governments are actually proposing to budget millions of dollars for local media outlets as a means of saving journalists' jobs. That's a recipe for disaster. There goes the last of media integrity. Roger Ream, president of the Fund for American Studies, says we have to fight states that are budgeting for this, else journalism will lose even more respect and trust.
Atheism is on the rise, and America is losing its liberties, and the rise of the first is leading to the decline of the second. Those who claim to be one of the "nones" -- meaning, no particular faith -- have doubled in the last decade and around 30 percent of Americans now say they're part of that group. This spells disaster for America and the future of individual freedoms. Judge Phil Ginn, president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary, has words of warning and wisdom for the nation.
It's shocking to see the displays of antisemitism on America's college campuses. But that's just the tip of the iceberg of anti-Israel mindsets that's coursing through America right now. According to a recent poll, an estimated 33 percent of Gen-Zers believe Israel has no right to exist as a nation in the Middle East. How did we get to such a point of ignorance and open embrace of evil? Jeff Myers, with his new "Should Christians Support Israel?" book, discusses what's taking place in America's youth -- and more.
If Christians refuse to vote, then they have only themselves to blame when the nation turns dark. And this is exactly why America is headed down such a shaky path right now. The statistics on the numbers of so-called Christians who fail to show up for elections and do their civic duties are sad and sorry, and Craig Huey, author of "The Christian Voter," says it's becoming quite a problem. It's actually been quite a problem for a very long time.
America, acknowledge it or not, is embroiled in a religious war, one that pits good against evil and that shakes the very foundations of our nation's Constitution and moral compass -- one that challenges and frustrates our ability to remain exceptional on the domestic and international stages. If this nation was founded on the concept of rights and liberties coming from God, then the growth of secularism and its impact on the culture is certainly changing the shape of our politics, and not for the better. Albin Sadar, author of "Obvious," a book about fighting evil, says America needs more Christians and believers and patriots speaking out against the wickedness that's coursing through our country. It's true. When good speaks up, evil retreats in shame and fear.
Too many youth in America are being utterly destroyed by a committed, determined and very evil force called LGBTQ agenda -- and it's the doctors and the medical community who really need to be held to account. There is some backlash against the insanity that's growing, but as Mary Margaret Olohan writes in her new book, "Detrans," not enough is being done to protect the innocent.
It's bad enough antisemitic forces around the world are turning against Israel and taking advantage of this weak White House and feckless president called Joe Biden to run roughshod over the Jewish nation's right to defend itself, calling out the Jewish people as the aggressor and Hamas as the victim. But the fact many if not most members of the media play into this narrative is despicable. Where is the context and truthful history? Why has Israel become the bad actor from an October 7 terror attack of Hamas' making? Troy Miller, president of NRB, traveled to Israel and this is what he's learned.
If you thought the crisis at the border couldn't get any worse, think again. President Joe Biden may have signed an executive order to tighten up the border and trigger restrictions against new entries once the crossing numbers reach a certain level. But it's all political theater. And few know that better than Shea Bradley-Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute, who visited the border in person and spoke with border agents, residents and medical professionals in the region to see how bad things really are -- and this is what she discovered: they're worse than Americans realize.
The pressure from the world, including from America, for Israel to come to some sort of peaceable solution with Hamas is increasing, and it's really leaving the Jewish people in a tight spot. It's impossible to strike a peaceful coexistence with people who simply want to destroy your nation and destroy your people -- yet that's what President Joe Biden is putting on Israel to forge with the terror group Hamas. When did it get to the point Israel was the aggressor and Hamas the victim? Hamas struck Israel on October 7, 2023, and everything that's come after in terms of war and casualties and war-torn communities has been the fault of Hamas. If the terrorists never attacked, Israel never would have attacked, either. Josh Reinstein, president of Israel Allies Foundation, discusses the latest.
Anthony Fauci may have taken center stage at a congressional hearing aimed at uncovering the truths of the COVID virus, but it was hardly his time to acknowledge the government's errors of coronavirus guidance. Rather, Fauci dug in deep on his own deceptions, while Democrats ran cover for him. Republicans scored big points in pointing out Fauci's conflicts of interest and ever-changing narratives and deceptive science and email coverups. But what's to be done in the end? If Americans can't trust the medical bureaucrats -- and they shouldn't! -- who can they trust? Marc Girardot, author of "The Needle's Secret," has much to say about the state of vaccines in America.
ow to stay optimistic, even when times are tough? kelly Wright of NTD News has plenty of positives to provide, and almost all start with the idea of putting God first. Yes, Joe Biden is putting America in peril because of the White House turn from Israel. But there is still hope. And it comes from belief in God, faith through the fires of testing and pure resolve to find common ground, rather than fight petty battles.
It's high time for the Christians of America to get off the sidelines, get out of the pews, lay down the Bible and get involved in politics and culture. This isn't to say abandon church and the Bible -- rather, it's to say carry church teachings and Bible truths into the political and cultural realms so as to take back the nation from the Marxists and leftists who are trying to destroy American Exceptionalism. Tommy Nelson, author of "God and Country," discusses what Christians can and should be doing to save America.
No more money for Ukraine -- that's what U.S. taxpayers should be telling the government now. And there are some very good reasons why -- first and foremost, that Ukraine, prior to the Joe Biden administration, was considered one of the most corrupt nations in the world. So what's America's end game there? How will America determine it's time to stop funding this war? What are America's interests there? These are all questions that should have been answered before America even got involved in Ukraine. Investigative journalist Ben Swann says if America stopped funding today, the war would be over tomorrow. He has a 12-part docu-series that shows how deep the corruption runs in Ukraine and why America should not be sending a penny more to Zelensky's government.
America's on the cusp of a disaster called moral degradation, a situation that's similar to what brought about Rome's decline and fall. But with a spiritual reawakening, and with a call to the arms of faith, and with a determined class of believers willing to fight for the future of this country with a Bible as the sword -- this nation's system of individualism will be preserved and the communist collectivists who are trying to kill our Constitution will be shoved back in the shadows. Kirk Cameron, Hollywood star turned evangelistic patriot, has words of comfort, wisdom and Bible-based reasoning for a country of citizens who are sharply divided. And in his view, it's all about the faith in God.
One of a Christian's highest calls of duty is to share the good word -- but at the same time, one of a Christian's biggest fears is sharing the good word. Why? In a word: fear. Christians have so many worries about their ability to share the Bible and the news of Christ in an effective manner that isn't uncomfortable, doesn't embarrass and that doesn't evoke images of passing out dandelions at airports that oftentimes, the sharing of the word fails to take place. Willie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame has a new book, "Gospeler," that tells just how believers can share the gospels without fear.
If people aren't godly, then America's systems won't be godly, and the country will crumble to moral decay. That's why America needs God at the helm -- so that God-given individual liberties can be preserved for the next generations. That's been the argument of traditional conservatives in politics for years. But sometimes, political battles don't always result in wins, and even when they do, they don't lead to long-term wins. Sometimes, stories work best because they tap into people's minds and imaginations and hearts, and they fire up motivations more than any political battle ever could. Jim DeMint, longtime politician, talks about his new faith-based fiction book, "Satan's Dare."
President Joe Biden has been out and about, claiming crime stats show he's doing an A-OK job of keeping citizens in this country -- despite the fact that police and innocent women are getting beat down in the streets by thugs and illegal aliens and criminals who've been given free passes on prosecution. The Democrat logic is repeat a lie often enough and people will start to believe it. But crime stats can be skewed. And John Lott says the media has been doing a terrible job of reporting truthful crime data.
America is in a fight for its cultural, political and economic life -- and it's not just a battle against Democrats who want to destroy the Constitution and usher in a new system. of governance more in line with socialism and communism and Marxism. It's a fight against China. The communists in China are coming on strong to dominate the world stage, and if America doesn't get its act together, then freedom will suffer -- and not just in the United States. The world needs America to win this war, else China communism will spread like a cancer all around the world. Matthew Kroenig discusses his new "We Win, They Lose," and how America can most effectively lead on foreign policy.
Faith and Freedom Are Tied at the Hip
You can't have freedom -- true freedom -- without faith. It's no accident that communist countries outright discourage their citizens from practicing religion. It's no coincidence that dictatorial nations have governments filled with politicians who actively promote atheism. The reason? Communists and Marxists and collectivists can't rule with their iron fists over people who know they're not the final authorities. Scott Morrison, former prime minister of Australia, discusses how his faith emboldened and sustained him during his years of politics.
President Joe Biden is not doing Israel a favor by saying his administration will not support an IDF counterattack against Iran. He's not doing America, the West or the civilized world a favor, either. Rather, he's giving Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and the evil forces of terror a hat tip to the notion that America is going to stand by and do nothing -- and that's all it takes to stir the pot. Evil will exploit America's weakness. Stay tuned for more attacks against Israel; more unrest in the Middle East; more terror, more chaos, more mayhem and more security risks to the Jewish state as well as to America and the West. Gol Kalev, author of "Judaism 3.0," and an Israel-based columnist, talks about the recent Iran attacks on his country and what it means for the security of the free world.
Israelis fight for normalization, post-October 7 Imagine laying in bed and hearing rockets streak overhead and not thinking that it's the rockets themselves that are odd, but rather that there are so, so, so many rockets -- so many more than usual -- that's the oddity. That's how October 7 started for Michal Uziyahu and her family in Ein Habesor, a Jewish community located three miles from Gaza, during the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel. She speaks about how the morning opened and how she rushed to get her family into the home safety room, and then watched with growing alarm the WhatsApp messages that flew from those of neighboring communities, showing images of abducted, images of invasions and messages of warning about terror attacks. And how's Ein Habesor faring now, in the months since the terror? Tune in. Uziyahu has a powerfully emotional story to share.
Three miles from Gaza, a Jewish community fights to heal Ein Habesor is located about three miles from Gaza, and produces about 60 percent of all of Israel’s produce. Though the terrorists never breached the gate, and nobody from Ein Habesor was killed, adjacent communities weren’t so lucky. For hours, terrorists from Gaza drove the nearby roads — which included those to Reim forest, where thousands of Jewish youth had congregated for the Nova Festival of music — and they fired off RPGs and rifles as they scoured the areas for Jews to kill, rape, torture, capture. Yftach Gepner, a professor at Tel Aviv University, said that until October 7, most of those in Ein Habeshor wanted to help the Palestinians, and often provided them medical and health care. After?
Nowadays?
Now, as the community is still trying to recover from the tragedy and horror; from the economic hit of agricultural produce that’s wasted in the field as nobody’s there to pick and process it; from the grief of knowing personally many in nearby communities who were killed, raped, captured and held hostage.
Conspiracy theorists, unite! The JFK assassination has a new angle, a new line of thought -- a new piece of evidence and analysis -- and guess what: "The government's been lying and covering up> So says, the coauthor of a new book on the matter, Jerome Corsi, who has taken a look at xrays, along with his coauthor, Dr. David Mantik, and both conclude that evidence has been altered.
Abortion and the lies of the left
The left loves to twist definitions and words to work for their leftist designs, and nowhere else, perhaps, is that twisting and turning more noticeable than in the arena of abortion. That's where leftists tell women that to abort their babies is a human right; that to abort their babies is freeing; and that to abort their babies is a viable solution that brings no regrets or consequences. It's all a lie. And Marc Aramian and Veronica Dipippo have quite a story to share about a woman who learned the hard way about the truths of abortion -- but then learned about the power of God's forgiveness and grace, as well.
Joe Biden wants to say America's in great shape -- that thanks to him and his White House policies, this nation couldn't be doing any better, particularly economically. We know that's bunk. If you want to look at how the nation's doing, take a peek behind the curtains of January 6. Radio host Ed Martin says the justice system is a two-tiered mess, and that's causing chaos throughout society.
Comparing Ronald Reagan's success as a president versus Joe Biden's success in the White House is a lesson in opposites. Reagan, to this day, is still counted by Americans as one of the best presidents in U.S. history. Biden will be remembered as worse than Jimmy Carter -- no small feat when you consider the weakness of Carter's administration. As Craig Shirley, author of the new "The Search for Reagan," says: Reagan saw individuals in terms of their inherent worth, and governed accordingly. Biden, on the other hand, sees only the worth of Big Government.
America's colleges and universities have become ground zero for the Jew-hatred movement, and for many, this is a shocking eye-opener. But Dr. Zachary Marschall, w/ Campus Reform and Leadership Institute, says the antisemitism has been festering on America's places of higher learning for decades. The rot must be cleansed. As Marschall said, yes this is America -- but guess what: antisemitism, Jew hatred, violence against Jews -- a call to eradicate Jews from the face of the earth -- it can all happen here.
It's high time for America to take back American Exceptionalism, and the key way to do that is to boot Democrats, particularly President Joe Biden, from office. Democrats have done nothing but devastate the American economy, education system, law and justice and constitutional order, and most especially, the border. As tens of thousands pour into America from countries with socialist and Marxist governments, and then disappear into parts unknown across the United States, the Democrats cheer because they see in these illegals their next batch of loyal voters. This is a situation that cannot last forever. Soon enough, America the free will be America the communist. Richard Levine, author of "Pillars for Freedom," discusses.
One of today's hottest political discussions is the one that goes like this: What would Founding Fathers do if they were alive today? And it's getting harder and harder to reach consensus on that point because too many Americans are not well schooled on Founding Father logic. So how to debate effectively? Michael Barone, one of America's most respected political pundits and authors, weighs in with a scholarly look at how the founders really arrived at their conclusions. His new book -- "Mental Maps of the Founders" -- explains more.
The coming globalist storm is on the horizon -- in fact, it's actually here and now. But as one historian says: Not much under the sun is new. When it comes to the globalist attempt to steal away America's sovereignty, we've actually been here, done that in previous decades. And guess what? Freedom wins. But that doesn't mean the war's won. Larry Schweikart discusses Davos, globalism and the fate of American liberties, as well as his new book, "Patriot's History of Globalism: Its Rise and Decline." It's the decline that brings the smile.
Today's evil times are certainly having an effect on society, leading to everything from LGBTQ lunacy to terror attacks on Israel -- to even a nation of American citizens who've forgotten their strength and liberty lies with God, not government. Bible prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. So how to make sense of the darkness and live a life of light in Christ? Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California has a new book. "Living in the Daze of Deception," and he says what's needed are discerning Christians who aren't afraid to counter the wicked narratives. It's true; if more Christians involved themselves in politics and culture, the politics and culture wouldn't be so evil.
America certainly is facing some dark and perilous times and it's becoming more and more of a challenge to maintain a positive attitude. But it is possible to have joy. It starts with realizing the definition of joy is not the same as the definition of happiness, and that the idea of following one's heart leads to misery. Brant Hansen, author of "Life Is Hard. God is Good. Let's Dance," discusses. And what he says about maintaining peace during trials and tribulations is enlightening and motivating.
The reason why American society is seeing such a rot spread through its culture and politics is because truth is something that is seen as an archaic, old-fashioned type of idea that doesn't really belong in modern day. Fact is, too many people take their truth from their own emotions, and scoff the idea of a truth that comes from the Bible and ultimately, from God. If Christians would stand taller and louder for truth, then the politics of America wouldn't be so globalist and dark, and the culture wouldn't be so immoral. Author Josiah O'Neil discusses.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a buzz phrase that's been tossed about with growing frequency through the years. And while it sounds soft and warm and fuzzy and safe, its end game is quite the opposite. This is Marxism at work to tear apart America's capitalistic system. Kent Heckenlively has a new book that goes undercover at some of America's corporations to see how DEI is being taught to employees, and oh my gosh, it's a big brainwashing that's turning our businesses into social justice warriors. Take a listen and learn how deep the propaganda's gone -- and how to fight to save America's freedoms.
Sen. Ron Johnson: Be wary of COVID shots
The number of deaths due to COVID shots is rising at an alarming rate, but what's even more alarming is the accompanying reluctance of America's own government agencies and medical experts to acknowledge this is happening. Sen. Ron Johnson has been tracking the safety and negative impact reports from these shots for years, and what he's finding is concerning enough that he says: Don't take the shots. Worse, though, is the stonewalling he's experiencing from those who told us these shots are safe; and who continue to tell us to take the boosters -- but who don't want to prove with data, reports, analyses and truthful information that yes, Americans can trust their claims. The best advice for now is don't trust the medical bureaucrats.
It's Donald Trump for president in 2024 -- and if you don't like that, deal with it. He's the candidate of choice for conservatives in America and the reasons are two-fold: He's got a track record of controlling the border. And he's got a track record of fighting -- of winning! -- against the globalists. These are the two biggest threats facing the United States right now; it only makes sense to elect the one guy who won't stand down and cower in the corner when the forces of anti-Americanism come calling. As Steve Malzberg, nationally known television and radio host and syndicated columnist says, "Trump doesn't cave." That's why he is the go-to guy this presidential election season.
America has been turned into a hotbed of pro-Palestinian, anti-semitic protests lately -- and it's a brazen display of ignorance of truthful history. More than that, the pro-Palestinian and anti-semitic displays on college campuses, on public streets, in the very city called our nation's Capitol -- more than that, they're all about a spiritual sickness that refuses to call out evil as evil. Pretending as if the terrorists of Hamas and the Palestinians who voted in office the terror group called Hamas are morally equivalent to their Jewish neighbors in Israel is to utterly disregard truth, and to advance a very evil agenda. Troy Miller, CEO and president of NRB, traveled to Israel to see the truth himself, and what he reports is shocking, sorrowful and crucial to hear.
The rise of the nones. The emptying of church pews. The growing secularization of America. All these matters impact the fate of American liberties because the less people believe in an age of accountability, the less prone they are to believe their actions on earth matter, and the more prone they are to live as non-believers -- which opens the door to behaviors that disrupt the peace of society -- which opens the door for government to come in and try to exert controls to calm society. Are churches today failing on keeping their flocks informed of biblically schooled on the topics that matter in modern times? Mike Novotny, a Wisconsin pastor and author, says Christians need to talk more about the very topics they want to keep secret and hidden, and that it's time to get tough with truth.
Don't vote Democrat, don't vote Democrat, don't vote Democrat -- oh, and one more thing: Don't vote Democrat! Democrats are largely to blame for the downfall of America, the one that's seeing boys dress as girls and pretend to be something they're not; the one that's seeing a president whose primary foreign policy is 'China First;' the one that's seeing hard-working American citizens struggle to pay for their family expenses while leftist pinheads in New York City empty the public schools of students so that illegals can live in the buildings -- on the taxpayer dime. It's time to put a stop to the madness. And now we have whispers of California's resident-in-leftist-chief Gavin Newsom making a run for the White House? Perish the thought. That would be a disaster, says John Cox, author of "The Newsom Nightmare."
The election of 2020 is still a question mark in many Americans' minds, and now a new survey from The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports shows why concerns should be very much founded. Fully one-in-five mail-in voters committed fraud, either innocently or knowingly; in the end, to take from Hillary Clinton -- what difference does it make? Fraud is fraud no matter the motivation. And Jim Lakely, VP at Heartland, says the fraud occurred on such a widespread basis that Donald Trump definitely has a point when he says his election was stolen.
Let's resolve to make 2024 the year of saving America from the leftist influences that have corrupted our government and culture, namely the socialists and communists and Marxists who've taken over the Democrat Party. How to save the country? For one, quit voting Democrat. For two, turn back to God. For three -- and four -- and five -- well, guest Allen West, retired Army lieutenant colonel, has a lot of thoughts on what's wrong with this Joe Biden administration, and what Americans can tackle right now to secure this nation's liberty for the foreseeable future.
What good is it if an individual gains the world but loses the soul? Or, as Dr. Jennifer London puts it: Character is crucially important. It was a key driving force of so many of America's most noble and influential figures -- Jefferson, Washington, Tubman, Graham. But the main question is: How to instill it in today's youth in a way that lasts? London discusses.
America's political and cultural climates are tense to say the least. And if you look at polls and surveys and interviews over the past year, it seems that 2023 was an especially fiery time in the political realm. So going forward, what will 2024 bring? Sam Daley-Harris says unity and peace are possible -- or at least rational debate and discussion -- and so is change for society's good. And he wuld know. He wrote the book on it, called "Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen's Guide to Transformational Activity."
America, Time to Face the Danger
How many times has it been reported that someone from a communist country has looked with alarm at America now and warned of a coming crisis -- warned that America is on the cusp of turning communist? Well, here comes another similar warning, this time from a scholar and researcher, Shea Bradley-Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute for Policy, Research and Education, who went to Hungary, spoke to Hungarians and brought home their warning for the West. And it's called "Last Warning to the West."
Suicide spikes during the Christmas holiday season for a reason -- but it doesn't have to be that way. Kristen Christy, international speaker and influencer, shares some dark stories of very personal nature but more importantly, tells how she gets through; how she carries on; how God continues to use her on a daily basis. It's the perfect talk for those needing motivation, inspiration, hope and faith.
America's entered a time where the "nones" -- those without solid religious footholds -- and the secularists and the atheists have taken over much of the politics and culture, and drummed into the minds of emerging leaders of the nation that faith has no business in government. But such separation of church and state as an example of what founders wanted is a figment of the far left's imaginations. Faith and religion must be alive and active in America else America falls to communism. Christy Stutzman speaks on the very critical need for Christians to get more involved in government and culture.
If you're like most American voters, you're sick and tired of listening to politicians promise this, that and this and that on the campaign trail, only to go on to their elected positions of power and forget their promises. And if you're like many other American voters, you're equally tired of politicians who throw in deep with the bureaucrat class and start ordering taxpayers around -- as if taxpayers are there to serve. Think during the COVID clampdown years; think during School Board battles to boot out evil LGBTQ agendas. Keith Redhead just won his seat for Ava Town Supervisor -- as a member of the Libertarian Party -- and he says Libertarian platforms are really beginning to resonate with Americans across the nation.
We Need More Christians In Politics If you're a Christian and don't vote -- shame on you. But if you're a Christian and do vote, and want to take more steps to get involved and help this country get back on track, then how about attending some local government meetings and speaking against the evils that are destroying communities? The local is where the rubber meets the road. If you want to see, for example, how the United Nations' push for zero-emissions is impacting your own community, just go to some local boards of supervisors or local planning commission meetings -- and use your voice to push back the alarmism. Too many Christians think politics and faith don't mix. But that's the wrong view. Bunni Pounds, author of the new "Jesus and Politics," tells why Christians should definitely be involved in the political world.
If you are among the third of Americans who believe the deep state is alive and well, then you're quite right. But more than that: you're probably being spied upon by these same shadowy deep state forces. So says John Mills, retired colonel, and author of the new "War Against the Deep State." So what to do? Listen and learn and fight for freedom.
America has been flooded with illegals under this current White House administration, and aside from President Joe Biden, no one is more to blame than Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. And as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has said, over and over, he must go -- he must be impeached. In recent testimony, Myorkas smirked as MTG showed a photo of an elderly couple killed by an illegal 17-year-old boy. Is this how this White House prioritizes Americans? MTG's new book, "MTG," outs the deep state, swampy interests that attack all-things-Constitution. She also responds to the lies and deceits the media and left have swirled around her since she's taken to Congress to fight for the rights of patriots.
Another election, another case of voter fraud, another ding to America's election system. In ten years, will people even want to vote any more? Democrats have certainly been able to accomplish great things when it comes to turning Election Day into Election Days then Election Week and in many cases, even Election Month. The more the left is able to stretch out elections, the more their opportunities to commit fraud. Just look at the recent "shocking" case of fraud a judge found in Connecticut, so bad he threw out the election results. Fred Lucas, author of "The Myth of Voter Suppressions: The Left's Assault on Clean Elections," warns we're in for a long 2024 presidential election season.
Look at the vote in Ohio for abortion as a constitutional right, for recreational marijuana, and then the national polls on the same subject -- where the majority of Americans want abortion on demand and weed as a right -- and it's alarming but true: Morals really don't seem to matter to the American people any longer. That's going to have a disastrous effect on the political system. More than that, it's going to lead our nation away from individualism and toward collectivism -- away from the God-given liberties we so cherish and into a massive government seizure of rights. Immoral people aren't capable of self-governance. Former Iowa congressman Steve King weighs in and warns.
Historically speaking, republics fail in their second year. America's already defied that historical truth -- but for how much longer? That's the question historian and Reagan biographer Craig Shirley helps answer. But here's a hint: With Joe Biden as president, and a year or so left in his administration, the look forward isn't exactly rosy. Americans would do well to turn to God now, while there's still time, because the nation, in terms of levels of degradation, has certainly reached the point where solutions won't be found solely in the political world.
Only 37% of American adults think the coming 2024 elections will be open, transparent and honest. And it's no wonder: Democrats have been doing all they can to drum up chaos on the election counts because it suits their purposes. It's Democrats who can't generally win on principle -- because they don't have many. It's Democrats who can't usually sway voters by platform -- because they're thinly disguised communists. So it's Democrats who try to create as much problems at the polls as possible, so as to challenge results, so as to drag out elections, so as to create chaos over elections, so as to disenfranchise voters and call on courts and activist judges to make the ultimate determination of candidates. Add to that open borders and the Democrats' call to allow illegals to vote and what remains is a sad and sorry statistic: only 37% of American adults think the coming 2024 elections will be open, transparent and honest. Johnny Vieira is the founder of VotifyNow, a new app, that allows for real-time reporting of election problems and suspicions.
The thousands in America who were fired from their jobs for refusing to take the experimental Covid shots are heroes. Why? They stood strong for American principles at a time when the Americans in power cared little for principles. Common sense, under Covid, flew the coop and instead, fear became the guiding factor with tyrants like Gerald Rivera calling for all those who refused to take the shots to be confined to their homes -- that they deserved to lose their jobs and their freedoms. Thing is, in America, free choice is a core principle, particularly when it comes to making medical decisions. Mike Donio, a medical professional who spent decades in research and science, including in molecular biology, talks about how he was fired for refusing the shot, and how he believes the medical community, under Covid, collectively lost its mind.
Parenting In Times of Technology Perils
It's hard enough to parent properly these days without all the pitfalls that technology offers children. Pornography's everywhere; social media sells rot; movies offer violence as amusement; and the entire world of gaming seems focused on turning children into badly behaving monsters who wallow in gore and bloodshed. What's a parent to do in these tough times? Well, for one: Exercise some parental controls. Parents aren't helpless and should remind their children regularly who's really in control of the household -- including when, how long and whether kids have access to technology. But also: Parents can take advantage of the growing list of family friendly and faith based movies and entertainment that are surging of late. Sam Sorbo discusses her new movie, produced with and co-starring husband Kevin Sorbo, called "Miracle in East Texas."
Democrats say they have the best interests of women and children at heart, but how can that be when their most consistent fight is one that undervalues the role of motherhood while outright killing God's creations? Babies are not political tools to gain votes; abortion is not a private choice between a woman and her doctor. And guess what -- the science the Democrats so love to cite when it suits their ambitions and purposes is very clear on what takes place in the womb, and how a baby develops and grows. Leftists can't get by with calling a baby a bunch of cells any more. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, discusses the Supreme Court, abortion and why some Democrats say they love God, yet still support abortion.
It's more than Republicans versus Democrats out there. We're in a battle for the good of this nation -- against the evil that wants to totally undo this nation. It's more a spiritual war than a political battle that's dividing Americans on so harsh of lines, and once we realize that without God, the war cannot be won, then we can fight more effectively. American Exceptionalism comes from the idea that individual rights come from God and that government is only there to preserve and protect those individual rights. So if Americans move away from God, it's only natural that government steps in to that void, to become a sort of quasi-god of society. This is where America's at right now. This is why so much evil and burdensome government exists today: because Americans have pushed God to the side. Michael Phillips, says in his "Endangered Virtues and the Coming Ideological War," that even more troubled times are on the way, unless Americans turn back to God, turn back to godly principles, and turn back to what made the nation great and exceptional in the first place.
If this White House weren't so weak, then Hamas terrorists wouldn't have risen up when they did, breached Israel's boundaries, and abducted and murdered hundreds. But when the president of the United States can't barely stand and walk by himself, the evil forces of the world take notice and plot ways to exploit the situation. Yes,Israel suffered a serious intelligence failure. But without a White House filled with players who hate America -- yes, actually hate America -- the intel failures could have been overcome and the hostages wouldn't be facing such peril. Lt. Col, Tony Shaffer, retired, talks about the many, many problems from this administration that have contributed to the rise of terror and the world of chaos that now confronts us all.
It's been months and months and months since the famous January 6 chaos at the Capitol, and Americans by and large still don't have a good idea of what occurred. That's because the lies and agendas and coverups and disinformation flows from leftists, from RINOs, from deep-staters and their partners in propaganda crime in the media have enacted a full-blown campaign to stop and stifle truths. At least, that's what investigative journalist Lara Logan has found and is busily reporting in her 14-part docuseries on January 6, called "The Rest of the Story." She called January 6 a "setup" of epic proportions. Listen to learn why.
There's not a person alive who doesn't have some sort of struggle in life. So the question is: How to overcome? How to pursue the dream despite the darkness? God and faith are key to turning tragedies into successes. That, and the dogged refusal to quit. Guest Rob Carson is a syndicated radio talk show host, television presence and comedy writer, but he was once an alcoholic and unhappy car salesman who learned he was the child of rape. To say he suffered some dark moments in life is an understatement. He has much to offer about overcoming adversity, staying the course, turning to God for help and rising above the circumstances of life to realize the dream.
If you think the medical community, Big Pharma, and government bureaucrats tied to Big Pharma would love a world where everybody was healthy and nobody needed medicines -- think again. There are billions and billions and billions of dollars that pour into the health field from tax payer pockets each year, simply to develop even more drugs and more pills and more medicines to address an ever-growing list of disorders, diseases and deemed illnesses. But the question must be asked: Is it wise to trust the people who profit most from medical problems when they claim to have the cures for medical problems? Big Pharma made massive profits from COVID shots, for example. But they were also the leading player behind the demand for everyone to take the COVID shots. Anywhere else but in the medical world, that'd be called a glaring conflict of interest. Dr. Mark Richards wrote the book on this; it's called, "Nobody Wants Your Healthy."
When Big Business works hand in hand with leftists in Congress to do Democrats' bidding that couldn't otherwise be done the duly legislative route -- then America has a problem. And that's just what Sen. Ted Cruz's office discovered taking place with banks and a business and a little thing called the Second Amendment. Democrats are very sneaky with their anti-gun agenda and it's incumbent on alert American patriots to watch how they'll bypass the legislative route to work with whatever private market force they can find to bring about their unconstitutional designs. Leftists will steal away all our God-given rights if we're not alert to their wicked ways.
If you are using the Republican presidential primary debates as a way to determine who you will support in 2024, you might just find yourself voting for Donald Trump. Tune in as Cheryl Chumley, Washington Times online opinion editor and host of the Bold and Blunt podcast, and Kelly Sadler, Washington Times commentary editor and host of the Politically Unstable podcast discuss the winners and loser from the second debate.
Democrats are on a hunt to take down Donald Trump any which way they can, but one of their latest attempts would -- if successful -- lead America down a perilous path of tyranny. What's happening? They're pushing into court a call to remove him from ballots for 2024, citing the 14th Amendment and its allowance to stop those guilty of insurrection from seeking political office. Thing is: Trump's not been found guilty in a court of law of insurrection. Thing is: Trump's innocent of insurrection. Thing is: Democrats don't care -- they just hate Trump and all he stands for, and will send America hurling toward tyranny if that's what it takes to erase him from Americans' minds. Mike McKenna, who served in Donald Trump's administration, speaks about this latest Trump Derangement Syndrome disease, and also on the need for a return to more moral, traditional times as a solution for all that ails this nation.
We all know leftists love to talk up the so-called dangers of climate change as a means of controlling the masses. But did you know that climate alarmism was really a post-World War Two design of the Marxists to depopulate planet earth? The quest of globalists for control never ends. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, is happily pushing top-down controls on governments, using fear of first, the coronavirus and now, climate change. If Americans don't stand fast on principle and insist on God-given individual rights, it won't be long before globalists realize their agenda. Jerome Corsi weighs in on the wicked ways of the climate alarmists.
Today's Democrat Party is little more than a party of subversion. Don't believe it? take a look at what the Democrat Party puts out for its platform, then compare it to the platforms of the socialists, the communists, the progressives, and then the Republicans. The only platform that has the slightest bit of resemblance to founding father principles of limited government is the Republican Party's. Democrats stand in direct opposition to all that's limited government -- to all that's individualism in nature -- and in direct support of all that's collectivist, all that's communist, all that's Marxist. That makes them subversives. And nobody explains that better than noted actor and film director Robert Davi.
America has moved beyond its founding principles of limited government and fallen headlong into a system where socialism, communism and Marxism are rapidly becoming the guiding compasses. Today's Democrat Party is hardly the same as John F. Kennedy years -- or even of Bill Clinton years. Rather, it's been taken over and dominated by communist influences. China expert Bill Gertz says Marxists have infiltrated this Joe Biden administration and that's a leading factor in why China is spreading its communist rot both domestically and internationally. What's the hope for freedom? In America, one solution is to teach the coming generations to once again love, cherish and revere freedom.
Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, has made great gains in recent years in pushing America down a path of Chinese-style communism. How so? He forces his far left ideology on the free market by insisting businesses within his fund abide by his ESG goals -- environmental, social, governance -- or face shunning. It's a sort of shadow government that's been operating under the radar of many in America, turning the U.S. capitalistic system into a tool of communism and Marxism. Larry Fink seems to think he's king of the world. But good news: Republicans are pushing back. And winning. Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Ressearch, has the inside scoop on how bad Blackrock is for America, how great it is for China, and now, under rising GOP backlash, how bad Fink's ESG designs are faring.
America is seeing a huge shift in the evangelical vote, due largely to the fact fewer and fewer are going to church, and as a whole, the nation is becoming much more diverse in culture and heritage. You can thank Democrats for that second point; it's their loose border controls that have opened wide the doors for illegals to flow into the nation and that, combined with their attempts to register these illegals to vote, is resulting in some sudden and dramatic changes in trends. Democrats are actually picking up evangelical votes. And that leads to an important question: Why would any evangelical vote for today's evil Democrat Party? Faith and Freedom Coalition executive director Timothy Head weighs in on the evangelical vote for 2024; on Donald Trump; and on evangelicals voting Democrat.
Joe Biden is going to have a hard time running for -- never mind winning -- the White House in 2024, given a good portion of Democrats don't even want him as the candidate, according to several recent polls. So that opens the door for the question: Who else? Names are being whispered. Hillary Clinton. Gavin Newsom. Kamala Harris. Or some other Democrat politician yet to be given the go-ahead by party influencers and funders. But one name that has been tossed about for years is Michelle Obama. And just because she constantly says she doesn't want to run -- don't believe it. All politicians like to pretend they're the reluctant leaders. It's a ploy to make it seem as if they are just simple ol' Americans like me and you, and had they their druthers, they'd stay home on the farm. Joel Gilbert has been researching the Obamas for years and he says in his new book, "Michelle Obama 2024," that she's definitely going to announce a run for the presidency.
This list of Joe Biden's presidential failures is long. But his worst failure is also his bloodiest failure, and it's called Afghanistan Withdrawal. The fact that he won't accept responsibility for his failure -- or even acknowledge the mission as a failure -- is simply a slap in the face of all those who have suffered and continue to suffer from this national shame. If America is ever to regain the trust of the international community, Biden's White House must step forward and accept that it could've done much better with this operation. If Americans are to ever repay the Gold Star families for their sacrifices in Afghanistan, then Team Biden must release the truth, the whole truth, about the withdrawal. James Hasson, co-author of a new book that reveals the extent of Biden's botched mission, chats about that sad day.
Americans' trust in the once-mighty FBI -- as well as other intel and federal law enforcement agencies -- has fallen. And that's a good thing. Founding Fathers wouldn't have put blanket trust in the federal authorities, and neither should modern Americans. Besides, if anyone has been proven right over the years, time and time again, and time some more, it's been Donald Trump and his always-consistent, always-loud, always-critical call-out of the deep state as nefarious anti-American players. How right he was. And who would know better than Thomas Baker, former FBI special agent and author of the new, "The Fall of the FBI" -- who chats up the problems of this agency, as well as other federal entities, and then offers some solutions to gain best the trust of the American people.
If America was founded on the principle of God-given rights, why has government grown so large and burdensome? That's the question of the day -- and the answer is simple: Because those who know best what it means to have God-given rights -- the godly -- have been quiet for far too long,and have ceded the culture and politic to the far left. And it's the far left's vision for America to steamroll in big government, globalist government, boot-stomping government, and usher out individualism and individual liberties. Kelly John Walker, resident freedom fighter, discusses.
There's a reason why Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond" is seeing such worldly success on the musical stage -- it's because he wrote a song that went to the heart and soul of what's ailing freedom-loving individuals. And the left can't stand it. But if you like this song, then you probably like it because you realize it speaks truth, and the truth is that individualism is being blotted out by an evil collectivism. First, they're coming for the culture. Then, they're coming for the politics. Then, they're coming for total regulatory controls on all human activities. Todd Starnes, radio, podcast and TV news host, offers a compelling look at what's taking place in today's culture that's driving this political divisiveness, and offers some hope for a distressed nation.
Democrats aren't exactly the most restrained members of the political class when it comes to attacking opponents. What happens is they get a couple wins under their belt -- or perceived wins -- and their arrogance and pride and greed take over, and they keep pushing for total obliteration. It's one thing to win at the ballot box by making a persuasive case of principles and platforms. It's another thing entirely to lie, cheat, deceive, fabricate, slander, libel and call out the thugs to utterly defeat and destroy a political candidate, the candidate's family and the candidate's career. This is where Democrats commit their great follies: by failing to read the tea leaves on average Americans. So it's with little surprise that the more the Dems attack Donald Trump, the higher his favorable poll numbers rise. Monica Crowley, happy warrior and former Trump administration official, and best-selling author and podcaster, weighs in with insights and analysis.
America's public schools used to be all about educating children to become fruitful members of society, because of patriotic love of country. Nowadays they're little more than breeding grounds for the I Hate America crowd. What's known is that the Democratic Socialists of America has recruited teachers for years now so as to send them into public schools to train the next generations in the Marxist way to go. But did you know the DSA has a youth organization as well? And that one of the ambitions of this youth organization is to go into the public schools and spread Marxism? It's downright frightening -- not to mention subversive. Liz Wheeler has a new book that's aptly titled, "Hide Your Children." Is this really what America has become? It's time to seriously consider whether the public schools are worth saving.
If President Joe Biden really wanted to protect America from enemies, both foreign and domestic, he would be more concerned about China's takeover of the world than about gas stoves. But he's not. He's busily scolding and frightening Americans to stop driving, stop farming, stop eating meat -- and calling that national security. Mike Hewitt, retired rear admiral, offers some heart-wrenching testimony to the weakness of this White House and discusses how Americans might get through the next year of this feckless leadership. Hang in there, America. This puppet administration can't last forever.
It's not just America that's fighting for liberty -- it's our partners in the West, as well; it's freedom-loving patriots in the United Kingdom, too. And make no mistake, the globalist evils that are threatening America are similarly making their marks in the U.K. But so, too, the pushback. One of the greatest threats to individual liberties is CBDCs -- central bank digital currencies -- that will allow governments to track, surveil and control citizens. No wonder China's all-in on moving its citizens to an all-digital, all-the-time financial system. Jim Ferguson from inside the United Kingdom explains the repercussions of CBDCs, as well as some of the other perils to freedom that globalists are pushing to reality.
America has a big problem with money laundering -- a $300 billion per year problem, to put a number on it. Sadly, the United States has become a top country for this crime, and it's only making our fentanyl, opioid, and trafficking challenges even worse. Banks, meanwhile, have been asking more and more questions of their customers and would-be customers, all aimed at rooting out the criminals -- but that has the unintended and perilous-to-freedom effect of treating the innocent as suspects and allowing the government to nose its way into private banking business. It's a delicate balance: privacy versus security. But Scott Greytak, with Transparency International, shed some insights on how America can fight its growing money laundering crime problem.
Police have been under attack by leftists who want it believed they just go into the law enforcement field as a means of imprisoning, beating and even murdering black and other minority youth. That's bunk. By and large, police do the heroic work of keeping communities safe, and for that, they should be commended and applauded. But sometimes, the systems in which police work allow them too much power, and that leads to abuses of power that are quite unconstitutional. Take civil asset forfeiture. Take no-knock warrants. And take the matter of a business owner in Los Angeles who was just trying to run his shop when a fugitive fleeing SWAT members ran into his business, threw him out and then fought against apprehension. SWAT members totally destroyed the business while pursuing the subject -- and then failed to pay for damages. City officials refused to pay, too. Jeff Redfern, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, is on the case.
Good men are hard to find and that's because society has downgraded men to the category of unnecessary. We're living in an era where men are being taught that masculinity is something to flee, and where the traditional definitions of "man" and "masculinity" are toxic; destructive; misogynistic. The outcome is that men, as defined by the Bible, are a dying breed. That's left America with a hole in the family unit that's ratcheted poverty, crime, addictions and generational problems. If we an America that's strong, we need to bring back the embrace of men as men -- meaning, men who stand fast for biblical truths, who stand tall as fathers and husbands, and who put God at the center of all their decisions. LTG Jerry Boykin, retired, U.S. Army, and now-head of Kingdom Warriors Christian ministries, discusses the damaging notion of "toxic masculinity."
America is going through some dark days right now -- true. But America has never just been a plot of land; it's always been something more. It's always been a spirit -- and a spirit can't be killed. Perhaps it's time to focus more on selling the dream of America, and less on talking up the doom. Even with all the threats to freedoms, there is much to admire and love about this country. If someone were to ask you, 'what's so great about America, anyway?' -- would you have an answer at the ready? You should be able to rattle off 10, 20, 30 or more things without even thinking. If you can't, then perhaps it's time to refocus and think less on the doom and more on the dream. Major Scott Huesing, USMC retired, agrees, and his endeavor, Save the Brave, advances just that notion -- despite the fact it's a campaign aimed at drawing awareness to veterans' suicides.
America's enemies are many, but in the matchup of China versus the deep state, it's difficult to discern which is worse. Even now, this administration is dealing with China via conciliation and appeasement, seemingly hoping that the communist government will one day realize its communism is bad for freedom and that America's model of individualism over collectivism is the better model. That's a ridiculous, head-in-the-sand approach to foreign policy. But then again, this administration's deep state forces are alive and active, on the hunt to take down Donald Trump and keep him from office any way possible, including -- though not limited to -- more indictments, more fabricated charges, more deceptive accusations that could ultimately lead to jail. If Trump is only the face of the pro-America, America First movement, and the attacks against Trump are really the attacks against patriotic, pro-America, America First citizens -- then really, which is more dangerous for this country: China or the deep state? John Mills, former military leader and government insider, discusses.
One of the most common throwbacks at the faces of Christians who call out sin is to say, "Hey, you're not supposed to judge." But guess what: that's a bit of a skewing of biblical truths. Yes, it's true, Christians aren't supposed to determine an individual's final placement as heaven or hell; Christians aren't supposed to say, for example, "May you rot in hell." But those of faith are tasked with the responsibility for calling out evil and fighting evil, and how can that task be accomplished if no judgments are issued? Besides, there's this thing called discernment, and it's a gift of the spirit that helps distinguish between good and evil. Dan Darling, media pundit, best-selling author and teacher of all-things-faith, joins the discussion.
Do you go to church? There are studies showing that church isn't just a positive for spiritual development, but also good for mental and physical health. One recent study of 19,000 participants actually found that those who go to church are less lonely -- and that means they don't engage in the behaviors of the lonely. And if you take into consideration the finding that lonely people, on average, live 15 years less than non-lonely people, you could actually say: Going to church is a life-saver. J.P. Degance, president of Communio, chats about church and the many, many reasons to attend.
Polls show that the more Donald Trump is attacked, the more he seems to gain in favor with his base. And that has the Democrats and their partners in global governments going crazy. Many on the left cannot understand why Trump continues to draw support -- but then again, many on the left can. They're not clueless on the Trump Factor; they're fearful. They know if Trump is again in the White House, he will be armed with not only determination to make America great again, but with the knowledge of the deep state, from a personal, first-hand, up-front perspective. That will make him a force the globalists cannot fight. Former governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee discusses Trump, the state of America and the problems with media -- and more.
Americans used to believe in the concept of free speech. But that ideal is rapidly disappearing, and it's due to mostly far leftists pushing the need for government control onto the minds of developing youth. Today's younger generations are being taught that yes, while free speech is great for healthy democracies, some speech nevertheless is dangerous and in need of control. And guess who they're being told needs to control the deemed dangerous speech? Government, of course. Conservatives have been a bit asleep at this wheel for years, allowing things like free speech zones on college campuses to go forth, and dabbling with Democrats to debate hate speech and hate crimes and so forth. It's time to reel back the clock and remind: speech is God-given. Americans don't need government to tell them what's proper to talk about -- and what's not. John Solomon, founder of Just the News, has a children's book, "Hidden Headlines," to teach the younger generations in the proper pro-American way to go.
If George Soros is the man behind the multi-million dollar funding of local prosecutors' races, and his agenda is to slow the roll on prosecutors actually doing their prosecutorial duties -- and that leads to more criminals in the streets, committing more crimes -- then wouldn't it be logical to wonder: Does he have blood on his hands? The influences of Soros money on law and order in the United States are growing, and that's not good news for those who think the streets ought to be safe and secure and cleared of the criminal element. Cully Stimson discusses his new "Rogue Prosecutors" and why every American should care.
Polls steadily show that Americans do not trust the media. But a recent survey also shows that Americans by and large actually think the media are trying to deceive them -- that members of the media are actively and strategically planting lies on air and in the news pages as a means of pressing a narrative for the left. And that's called propaganda. Big corporations have certainly damaged much of journalism's integrity by forcing news employees to put profits ahead of principle and truth. But so has the deep state. Operation Mockingbird, anyone? Tucker Carlson is the latest and perhaps largest casualty of corporate media attack. Chadwick Moore, author of "Tucker," sheds light on Carlson's career, family, character and fight against Fox, which is very much alive and ongoing.
How do you define success? If it's by the number in your bank account, or by the number of cars in your driveway -- how's that working out for you? Success should be defined by the level in which the individual is capable of standing strong on principle in the face of massive attacks from evil forces. More to truth, success should be defined by how obedient an individual is to God, no matter how many satanic forces try to distract from that obedience. Standing up to the storm and refusing to cave to immoral, ungodly, untruthful wickedness: those who can do that, time and time again, years and years on end, are the ones who can be defined as truly successful. Kari Lake discusses her book, "Unafraid: Just Getting Started," based on her own fight for principles against massive leftist attacks.
Are we marching toward end times in quick-time? Some say yes; some scoff the idea. But fact is, with the birth of Israel, the clock has been tick, tick, ticking away, and it's high time believers truly turned to the signs to take note of the checkmarks. Think artificial intelligence. Think technological advances. The Internet has allowed the spread of the Gospel in areas that were previously off-limits to teaching, and it won't be long before all of the world has heard the Bible -- another check mark of end times' promises coming true. Depravity, false worship, false gods, the hardening of human hearts, the LGBTQ lies; along with wars, threats of wars, weather disasters and threats of weather disasters, the growing acceptance of satanist clubs -- these are all hurtling humanity toward a total collapse. Biblically speaking: it's a time of warning, a time of choosing. Billy Hallowell, noted culture commentator and journalist, discusses.
There's a reason people had to go to court to fight for the release of Pfizer's data about the safety and efficacy of its Covid shots: because the Big Pharma company is covering up so many lies and health hazards that its running scared from accountability. So much of what doctors and researchers are finding now about these Pfizer shots show that what was called out as conspiracy theory is actually true. For instance, these shots truly mess with a woman's reproductive system -- to the point where they may not be able to have babies. Population control? You decide. The data is shocking and frightening. Naomi Wolf, noted journalist and author, discusses her findings.
If Americans put their faith first and their politics second, and didn't worry so much about being called out for keeping their religious beliefs alive and well outside of Sunday church services, then America as a nation would never have a problem with Big Government. That's because -- as Founding Fathers said -- this republic would only remain limited in governance so long as the people were moral and virtuous -- and where is the source of morals and virtues but with God? America can no longer afford to listen as secularists and atheists try to move the nation's politics and culture to the far left by claiming religion has no place in public life. Quite the opposite. And Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, weighs in with words of wisdom on just that topic.
Christians in America have been too quiet, too complicit, too afraid of bucking the systems, too concerned with their own comfort levels -- and that has led the country, biblically speaking down this path of total peril. The culture has turned to the point where immorality is exalted and moral behaviors mocked and labeled intolerant, and that, predictably enough, has led the political system to bow to corruption. And now Christians want to cry about being persecuted? Thing is, most of the attacks on Christianity in this country are a) brought on by years and years of silence from the Christian community, which has emboldened the left to drive us in a direction of secularism and b) hardly at the level of persecution suffered by believers in other nations. Todd Nettleton discusses Christian persecution around the world, and weighs in on the state of Christianity in America.
If you wonder why politicians on Capitol Hill don't seem to be doing anything about the $31.7 trillion national debt, or even seem that concerned about it at all, fact is: many actually love keeping Americans financially insecure. Debt is a device of Democrats -- to control. Debt is also a device of the devil -- to enslave. And let's not forget the globalists, who see rising U.S. debt as a surefire means of crippling the country and crumbling it from within -- a tool of takeover and the final realization of a long-held dream. If America stumbles and falls financially, then America the free will cease to exist. So follow the lines of logic and you can easily understand why debt is more a political weapon for the anti-American forces to wield, than it is a problem to solve. Dave Brat, a former member of Congress who beat out then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for his seat, speaks about the real state of America's finances. It's bleaker than imagined.
Most American adults say in recent surveys they're pessimistic about the fate of America, they're uncertain the future generation will have it better than they did and that the era of American Exceptionalism has come to an end. There's a reason for that and it can be summarized in just a few short words: America's losing God-given rights. From there, all ails in the political world follow -- and that leads to plenty of scandals, corruption, wickedness and outright evil that is being passed as the new normal. Judge Jeanine Pirro details in her new "Crimes Against America" some of the biggest problems Americans now face, and offers up some solutions to turn the tide of pessimism back to optimism.
The debt ceiling on Capitol Hill isn't just pitting Republicans versus Democrats. It's pitting the moral versus the immoral. Debt is a device of the devil because it enslaves those who suffer from its suffocating grasp and often leads to defaults that are akin to thefts. Is this the path America is treading right now? The debt ceiling is hitting an all-time high and honestly, there's no way our children are going to pay off all that money. The debt service alone is crippling. So what's going on here? One answer is that rising debt is a strategic design of the left -- of the globalists, actually, who want to tear down America's foundations, any which way they can. They're coming for the culture. They're coming for the education systems. They're coming for the political halls of power. And they're coming for the national economy. Cal Thomas, in his newest book, "A Watchman In the Night," describes some of the perils facing America -- and the bloated spending is just one of many, many problems.
It's good to know traditional, sane Americans are still willing to fight for the nation, and if anything says "winning," it's the wins that Christian, conservative patriots have racked over Bud Light and Target in recent days. The LGBTQ agenda is being steadily pushed back into the dark corners where it belongs. Woke corporations are being reminded that they still have to worry about profits, and that the LGBTQ community only makes up a very small, very slim percentage of the nation. And simple truths, like male and female and that's all there is folks, just two sexes -- simple truths like these are being slowly restored to humanity. It's about time. It's past time, as a matter of fact. Kelley Yates, etiquette expert and author, tells why it's a good thing for society -- for polite society -- to reel in the LGBTQ madness and remind people that chaos is not kind.
Klaus Schwab. Larry Fink. George Soros. The World Economic Forum. Climate change. These are all inextricably linked -- and their common denominator is this: Danger to America. If you're not in tune with what's taking place in politics on the global level, and how it all trickles into America's political system down to the individual citizen -- with the effect of stripping individual citizens of their individual rights -- then you're missing the big war for liberty. Make no mistake about it: fascism is coming on strong and it's a must for patriotic Americans to see both the forest and the trees in order to fight effectively. Steve King, former congressman of Iowa, has some shocking insights into the latest anti-American activities the leader of the World Economic Forum {Schwab} is doing with the leader of Blackrock Investments (Fink) as well as with the leader of global philanthropy-slash-government-takeover (Soros), and how these players are all hurtling America toward taxpayer funded enslavement to the left's climate gods. Former Iowa congressman, Steve King, has been digging in deep and investigating some recent climate change schemes that take private properties and use them for environmental causes that truly only enrich the pockets of a select few billionaire investors. And he warns: this agenda is poised to spread like wildfire across America -- around the world -- if patriots don't take notice and fight.
The federal government is supposed to work for the people. But those days are long gone, as the much-awaited Durham report shows. Not only did John Durham find in his special counsel look at Russia Collusion that the FBI far and away violated its core duties -- to be unbiased agents of law enforcement and law and order. But he also found -- without specifically using these words -- Donald Trump was right: The FBI served as a weaponized political tool of the Democrat Party. This isn't just a problem for Trump. This is a problem for the entire country. If America can't trust its federal authorities to serve the people and not the political ambitions of the select few, then America's republic is doomed to spiral into a tyrannical cesspool where individual liberties go to die. What's needed is accountability. What's needed is transparency. What's needed is a political will on Capitol Hill to hold liars' feet to the fire when they try, try, try again to push their lies onto the American people. Jonathan Emord, constitutional attorney-turned-Senate-candidate, discusses the need for principles in politics and warns: America's fading fast.
Modern America is far different from what it was a few decades ago -- from even a few years ago -- and that's not just speaking politically. Culturally, the country's grown coarser, uglier, more violent, less tolerant and yes, more evil. But it's the widespread acceptance of evil that's most dangerous. Countries typically go through cycles where one political time might show as more corrupt than another, but then the voting scales tip back toward moral righteousness and the public service officers chance their scandalous behaviors and justice is restored. What to do when there are no moral public service officers to take over the emptied seats, though? That's what happens when the culture turns rotten and the people become immune to the rot -- or outright accepting of the rot: there are no good men and women left to serve. This is where America is now walking, and it's due almost entirely to the evil that's infiltrated the Democrat Party and the culture of leftists. Radio host Ed Martin talks culture and evil and the cause of godlessness, and offers hope for better times.
The left scoffs at the influence of George Soros and says he's just the boogeyman the right likes to blame for all that ails America. But you can't deny the influence this man has wielded in America's justice system. He's bought district attorneys at key spots around the nation, and in so doing, watered down law and order to the point where criminals are often treated as victims, and the real victims -- as little more than criminals. So what's his agenda? What does Soros really want? Rachel Ehrenfeld discusses "The Soros Agenda" -- and it's even worse for the fate of American liberty that you imagined.
Is your church failing you? What does that even mean? In a day and age of rising secularism, a rise of religious "nones" and a fall in church attendance, it's difficult to discern causes from effects. But one thing is certain: churches closed during the coronavirus, at a time when many frightened Americans most needed spiritual guidance. And that's a bad place for a nation founded on God-given liberties to find itself. In short, it's impossible to keep God-given liberties intact if God is removed from the equation -- and it's difficult to keep God as a priority in society if churches are closed by government dictate. Dr. Matt Queen discusses the state of America's religion, and whether churches are failing to do a very basic duty that should be automatic: inviting attendees to accept Christ as their savior.
It's the 75th anniversary of Israel and if you look at what's taking place in that country, with that country's leaders, namely with that country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his fight to bring about much-needed judicial reforms, it's uncanny: the comparisons with America are obvious. As leftists hate Donald Trump, so leftists hate Bibi. As a deep state permeates U.S. politics, so a deep state permeates Israeli politics. Of special note is an ongoing fight to bring about reforms in the judicial system that pro-reformers -- like Bibi -- say are necessary in order to keep intact the wills of the voting people and that anti-reformers -- leftists, deep staters, and the like -- say are pathways to fascism. Sound familiar? Making sense of all-things-Israel is Gol Kalev, on the ground in Israel and author of a new book, "Judaism 3.0," who says the Jewish state is on the cusp of big changes.
January 6: Questions and Answers
Are you clear on the facts of January 6? If you're not, then you're far from alone. Separating truths from myths about this protest-slash-resurrection is a modern day "Who Shot JFK?" puzzler. And part of the reason is the vicious hatred of those who are supposed to be the guardians of truth toward Donald Trump. Trusting those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome to stick with the facts on January 6 and to not go into la-la land to score political points would be pure fallacy -- especially as more and more videos emerge showing the popular narrative of the TDS sufferers is skewed. Nobody knows a January 6 truth from lie like those whose family members have been scooped into the D.C. jail system because of their presence on Capitol Hill on that fateful day, though. And here to give account is one such family member: Cynthia Hughes, whose nephew was arrested. She says due process was thrown out the window -- and that her nephew is not the only victim of politicized and weaponized justice.
President Joe Biden has just announced he's running for another four years in the White House. And his announcement, not-so-coincidentally, comes as Democrats have unleashed massive attacks, once again, against their favorite target: Donald J. Trump. They've also found cause to go after conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Call it the go-to political game for leftists: no principle, all bluster and bogus blaming and shaming. Biden has no accomplishments on which to campaign so his platform has to be all about anti-MAGA, anti-Trump, anti-Trump supporters. The media and his Democrat Party minions are only too happy to do his dirty work and mudsling all the live-long day -- so long as it keeps out Trump, keeps quiet conservatives. How successful will they be? Robert Bork Jr. weighs in with his legal-minded expertise.
If you were to be asked to name the five liberties secured by the First Amendment in the Constitution, and then choose which one was most important, what would you say? If it's not religious freedom, then perhaps you should rethink. Yes, freedom of speech is important. Yes, the ability to start a media outlet to report on the government is important. And moving away from the First Amendment, to the Second, it's irrefutable that the ability of the citizenry to keep and bear arms is a subtle reminder to the government about the power of the people. But religious freedom for a nation that's rooted in individualism, based on a concept of rights coming from God -- well now, that makes religious freedom the most important notion to preserve and protect. Still don't agree? Well listen up, then. Mark David Hall has much to say.
America's sovereignty is facing a massive danger from the World Health Organization, thanks in large part to the fact this president, Joe Biden, is all-in with the global bureaucrats. The WHO has for some time been pushing a global treaty on pandemic responses, and if passed, if signed, if ratified in the United States, would strip America's ability to decide its own course of action on health-related matters. Imagine the likes of a Bill Gates -- who is a top funder of the China-loving WHO -- having at his disposal the power to tell Americans how to deal with the next emerging virus. More than that, imagine the likes of a Bill Gates having at his disposal the power to decide what constitutes a pandemic. The possibilities for control would be endless. Yet that is what the WHO wants -- and that is what Joe Biden is quite OK with -- and that is the threat America faces that could result in the final blow to sovereignty. Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy, is fighting back hard.
The younger generations are simultaneously turning away from God and from America; their belief in God is dwindling, and so, too, their love for America. The natural outcome of this secularized disregard for American Exceptionalism is an emerging batch of leaders who think this nation is just like any other -- which means this nation will soon enough become like any other -- which means this nation will ultimately crumble. Democrats, socialists, Marxists, collectivists and the like actively encourage the younger generations to hate America and to believe in government over God -- and eventually, to believe in government as God. And they actively court this mentality because it gives them the political tools they need to seize powers and control. There is pushback, however, to this leftist wickedness. Tuttle Twins cartoon developer Daniel Harmon talks about the efforts he's making to train children in the pro-American way to go, using the power of the television set.
If you had to count the ways President Joe Biden is placing America in peril because of feckless foreign policy, there would definitely be double digits involved. China, just this past weekend, has been pushing hard toward Taiwan -- and who knows where Biden will ultimately fall in terms of helping keep democracy in place on the island. The question is: Should America get involved? Already millions, billions, maybe even (one day) trillions of U.S. dollars are being spent to save Ukraine from Russia. Should taxpayers send more away from domestic purposes to save yet another government? Fact is, if Biden weren't so weak, if his administration weren't so feckless, if his White House wasn't so cowardly, then the world's hostile players wouldn't be so emboldened to make their hostile moves in the first place. What America needs is a return to America First policies so that America's liberties would stand strong, and the message of America to the world -- don't mess with freedom! -- would stand similarly strong. Colonel Grant Newsham, author of the new "When China Attacks," discusses.
Christians around the world are celebrating one of the holiest, if not the holiest, times of year for believers -- Easter -- which recognizes the sacrifices of Jesus Christ on the cross, when he died for all of humanity's sins and then was resurrected three days later. But even for steadfast believers there are certain stories in the Bible the prove a challenge to faith. One of them is the Genesis account of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. At the last second, God stayed his command and prevented Abraham from inflicting the fatal stab. But Christians nonetheless wonder: Why did God order Abraham to sacrifice his son, anyway? Isn't that evidence of God's cruelty? And for the non-believer, this biblical story has historically proven a sticking point. Now comes a new movie about just this story to show a) God is not cruel and b) God loves his creations and would never harm them. David Helling discusses "His Only Son," a movie in nearly 2,000 theaters in America about the famous Genesis story.
The Takedown of Donald Trump and America
The indictments against Donald Trump aren't simply indictments against Donald Trump -- they're aimed at attacking, stopping and silencing the entire patriotic American class summarized by the simple phrase: America First proponents. Leftists think that once they silence Trump -- once they remove Trump from the public political square -- that all those dastardly conservatives in America who've supported Trump, and who continue to support Trump, will similarly go away. But the backlash against far-leftist political tactics, as epitomized by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, is brewing. Trump and his America First principles will not go quietly. America stands at a dangerous precipice right now and just a couple more steps will see a tumble into a valley of Marxist, collectivist, communist agendas that will destroy freedom as we know it -- that will decimate American Exceptionalism -- that will obliterate the notion of God-given liberties. Army Black Hawk pilot turned country music star Ryan Weaver discusses some of the problems facing America, and how we might win back the principles that made us great.
President Joe Biden has many, many failures to his name. But it's his failure to properly address the growing alliance between Russia and China that's most problematic for America right now. Not only is he emboldening two of America's greatest enemies. But worse, Biden's completely tossing off -- mocking -- the idea that these two nations are forming a dangerous alliance. That's "exaggerated," he said, when asked by a reporter about the blossoming warm-and-fuzzies between Russia and China. Oh, woe is America. With a leader this weak, how can the nation survive? Maxine Albert chats "Pandemonium: China's Global Strategy to Cripple America," penned by her late husband, Curtis Ellis.
On the heels of a shooting by a transgender at a private Christian school in Tennessee that left three children and three adults dead, perhaps it's high time to return to societal recognition of the LGBTQ movement as rooted in mental disorder and filled with people who are psychologically disturbed. It wasn't so long ago that men who thought they could change their sex at will and become women, and vice versa, were treated for psychological problems, labeled as victims of gender dysphoria. But to dare suggest today that transgenderism is a mental illness in need of professional help is to invite condemnation. Ryan Bomberger, who heads up The Radiance Foundation with his wife, Bethany, discusses. Who would have thought the Bombergers' new book, "She Is She," would be regarded as radical in title and theme? That's where America's at, though. And it's time to return to normalcy -- and honesty.
The government is guilty of turning blind eyes to child abuse -- and worse, in many cases, the government is actually guilty of actively participating in the abuse of children. How so? In a word: transgenderism. Whenever politicians and their bureaucratic friends in tax-paid medical organizations press the idea that kids can make their own decisions when it comes to choosing their sexes, that's a path leading to abuse. Children cannot change their sexes simply by undergoing medical procedures, and it's high time government officials stop pretending they can. Allowing those who can't even sign contracts, join the military, vote or buy a pack of cigarettes the legal authority to undergo procedures that could have permanent detrimental affects on their mental fitness, as well as altar their bodies in ways that God never ordained, is abusive, pure and simple. As Dr. Jeff Myers says, it's time to stop exploiting the youth; it's time to stop committing these acts of evil.
A strange phenomenon has rocked some college campuses in America in recent times, shocking mainstream media, angering leftists and driving the secularists and socialists batty. What is it? Prayer. Prayer vigils. Prayer revivals and prayer, 'round-the-clock. Prayer by students, of students and from students. Prayer that won't stop. Prayer that won't quit. Mark Burrell, author of "Rediscovering the American Covenant," sees this as an optimistic sign. And so should all patriotic Americans. After all, anything that drives the corporate media, the left, the secularists and the socialists nuts should be automatically embraced. It's always a good sign when America turns to prayer, anyway. American Exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that rights come from God. So it's impossible to have God-given rights if the people aren't prayerful and biblical. The fact America's youth are turning to God is a solid sign of an America that hasn't yet fallen into total destruction.
It was just over seven years ago that Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia died, leaving a conservative America in shock and sadness. But his legacy lives on -- and, as Scalia chronicler James Rosen says, it's a legacy that will prove him the most influential and important member of the court for the coming 100 years or so. But what of his early life? Of his pre-SCOTUS life? Rosen in his new book, "Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936-1986," chronicles some of the characteristics, personality quirks and experiences -- gleaned during interviews with associates as well as during personal lunches and get-togethers with the justice -- that made Scalia, well, Scalia.
In just a few short years, the percentage of Americans who told Pew Research Center pollsters that there were other countries in the world better than the United States went from 14 to 23. That's tragic. That means nearly a quarter of Americans believe America is not the best -- is not exceptional. Give it a couple more years, and a couple more public high school graduating classes, and that 23% will grow to 50% -- and then to more than half -- and then, one sad and sorry day, to a majority. If a majority of Americans don't believe America is the best, what does that mean for the future of America? Matt Lohmeier, author, public speaker and former military member, speaks about the need to keep faith alive and well in this country, else face a future of destroyed individual rights.
Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual and for many, it's a heartache to see their children grow and mature into hearts of darkness, not light. What's a parent of a prodigal supposed to do? The Bible teaches that nobody is unreachable; that all are created in God's image -- and that means even children who have lost their way can be brought back to their senses, to their home. And it's never too late, says Laine Craft, author of "The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal." The most important key to winning back your child to Christ is to remember that this is a fight against principalities and dark, demonic forces, not against flesh -- not against the children. Satan starts to go after humans when they're at their youngest and most vulnerable. But parents and caretakers can prevail because their powers of prayer are rooted in God's promises and desires.
Don't Let the COVID Tyrants Get Away With It!
For more than three years, Americans faced a mad, sad state of government affairs due to coronavirus crazy, that led to citizens seeing forced lockdowns as a way of life. Churches were closed. Businesses were closed. Schools were closed. Citizens were face masked and forced off the streets, out of the public parks, off the beaches and away from their neighbors and loved ones. And meanwhile, all the while, all the time on media, the faces of Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx and Big Government, Big Pharma parters in vaccine-profiteering crime told citizens that if they only listened to what they were told to do, then all would be fine and all would soon enough return to normalcy and all would go back to the way it was before COVID came to America. Well, that was a load of you know what. The 15 days to flatten the curve turned into three years of do as I say -- and many on the left would like to keep this sort of fascism alive and well in America. Steve Deace says accountability is needed and in his new "Rise of the Fourth Reich," he suggests a Nuremberg-type trial to make sure such a state of tyrannical affairs never comes to America again.
Here's a question the government, Big Pharma and Anthony Fauci all agree shouldn't be asked: Are young people suddenly dying due to COVID shots and boosters? According to Fauci And Co., the answer is a resounding "No." But according to data -- according to an author who analyzed the data -- the question can't be answered so quickly and resoundingly in the negative. Fact is, President Joe Biden mandated these shots onto the military and government workers, and many privately owned businesses, in turn, mandated these shots onto their employees. Fact is, too, now even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are finding that, indeed, there are some adverse health effects from these shots, namely, ischemic stroke in the elderly and myocarditis in young males. So what's wrong with peeking behind the data curtain to discern more of the adverse health effects, and see whether death is one of them? If the shots weren't so ineffective, yet still so mandated and recommended, and simultaneously profitable for Big Pharma and their partners, maybe there wouldn't be so much cause for the alarming questions. Edward Dowd discusses the findings of his new "Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022."
The LGBTQ community has managed to infiltrate the guardians of the etiquette gates and now, manners' columnists and so-called etiquette experts everywhere are actually putting forth the notions that it's polite to pretend boys who want to be girls, and vice versa, can actually do so by changing their pronouns or clothing styles. This is yet one more sign of the cultural degradation that's rotting America from within -- and there's one etiquette expert who's had enough of it and is fighting the LGBTQ deceptions. Kelley Yates, author and internationally known etiquette trainer, chats on how to fight the dangerous LGBTQ lies that are being pushed into society and more than that, why it matters. As manners go, so goes the culture, so goes the political systems, so goes the entire nation.
If you think this administration has done a poor job of protecting America's borders -- you're right. But it's even worse than you think. The borders aren't just porous; they're non-existent. Call it Team Biden's biggest success -- letting in illegals. He's record-breaking, in fact. The danger is that if this administration, this White House, this batch of Democrats in office have their way, America by the end of Biden's term won't be America any more. And how do you go back from that? Once America is destroyed from within due to surging illegal entries, it will be impossible to turn back the clock and turn away those who came illegally. The new age of no law, no order will be set in stone. Bill Pascoe with Tea Party Patriots, gives the latest -- and its far from pretty.
Israel Goes Conservative and Leftists Go Nuts
Read almost any mainstream news source since the reelection of Benjamin Netanyahu and it's if the nation known by the religious community as the apple of God's eye is about ready to self-destruct. That's because the media leans left and Netanyahu leans right -- so the animosity of the press toward Israeli leader politics has quadrupled overnight. It's interesting, though; the same things the press said of Donald Trump are now being said of Netanyahu. The same gloom and doom predictions made about America under a Donald Trump presidency are now being said of Israel under a Netanyahu prime minister post. The same lies being told about Trump's MAGA and America First policies -- that they're racist, they're misogynistic, they're homophobic -- are being told about Netanyahu's pro-Israeli policies. The left is going nuts over Israel right now. So what does Israel think about it all? Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate and a long-time Israel resident, discusses what's really on the minds of the Israeli people.
Today's media isn't just fake news. It's anti-American news. It's become infiltrated by some of the deepest of deep state players, and it's almost like decades ago in America where the CIA actively sent operatives into newsrooms across the country to influence, sway and spin coverage. The CIA never really acknowledged this "Operation Mockingbird," as it was dubbed. But it happened. And some are seeing today's media as so anti-conservative, anti-truth, anti-Donald Trump, anti-American that it's a question mark whether another similar operation has taken root in newsrooms across the country. Author Kent Henckenlively investigated CNN and found: It's even worse than the "fake news" label Trump popularized.
Barack Obama Has Destroyed America's Healthcare
America's healthcare system has been destroyed and turned into socialism, and the fault can be squarely placed on Barack Obama. Before Barack Obama, America's healthcare was the envy of the world. After Barack Obama, America's healthcare raced down a socialized medicine path. And if you've not been to hospitals or clinics or received treatment in this before-after decade, you may have missed the changes that have taken place. But take it from those who've seen up close and personal the pre-Obamacare and post-Obamacare care -- and from those who've experienced the pre-COVID and post-COVID care -- and heed this warning, from Dr. Stephen Soloway, also known as Dr. Trump: Stay out of the hospitals. His new book, Medical Politics, will leave you both stewing and horrified.
Are you better off now than you were two years ago, before Joe Biden took over as president? Most in America say -- resoundingly! -- no. Where Donald Trump was pro-America, Joe Biden is anti-America; where Donald Trump was America First, Joe Biden is American Last. The list of before-after pros-to-cons is long. And who better to discuss than a former Donald Trump administration insider? Chris Miller, who served as Trump's final defense secretary in the final days of the administration, has a new book, "Soldier Secretary," and among his concerns for America are the wokeness in the military and the inability of this commander-in-chief to adequately lead.
President Joe Biden may talk a good game about all the positives he's done for America, but truth is, the country's ailing. People are suffering.The economy's sluggish, not chugging. And the confidence of voters in this White House to do its job is low -- to put it mildly. How else to explain Biden's polls numbers, which show Americans are both tired of his failing leadership and turned off to the idea of his run for a second term? From China spy balloons flying this White House's friendly-to-communist skies, to inflation rates that are nipping at the heels of any wage gains seen in recent times, it's clear: the only way this administration can paint its leader in a positive light is to lie. Radio host Vince Coglianese weighs in with his usual smart, incisive and insightful views.
President Joe Biden is so weak the world's worst actors are very, very likely plotting their moves before he leaves office, before a Republican takes to the White House, before America's weakness is turned to strength by a GOP leader. North Korea, Russia, Iran and China see opportunity. They want to act fast before they lose that opportunity. That means the next two years are going to be the most dangerous times for America, for America's allies, particularly for Israel, and for an entire world that wants peace. Joel Rosenberg, best-selling author and All Israel news chief, discusses.
Polls show that far too many Americans still doubt the integrity of our election system and that double-digit percentages of demographics believe Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, should be sitting in the White House right now. Say what you will about the 2020 results -- fact is, the question marks and shadows that linger over the last presidential contest are sad commentaries of the state of the American citizens. A nation that can't trust its election system is a nation that is bound to fall into banana republic governance. Christina Bobb, a Trump attorney, weighs in on what she found during an investigation of the election fraud allegations in 2020. And guess what? It's not just Democrats who raise election integrity alarms. It's Republicans, too.
Life got you down? Struggles kicking your spirit? One shared experience all humans must face is trouble -- trouble and struggle and challenge and crisis and yes, even disaster. It's the bouncing back that's individual. Everybody deals with problems differently, some better than others. But whether the challenge comes by way of physical ailment or health issue or moral crisis or spiritual testing, fact is, we all want to know how to overcome -- and quickly. Rick Leventhal, a former fixture on Fox News and a media presence for decades, has words of wisdom for those facing adversity and stories of inspiration on how he overcame. It's a great message for a new year that's already shown itself to be dark and difficult for many.
America's youth are being endangered by a committed far left that wants nothing more than to kill the traditional family and replace it with individuals who are trained in the communist ways -- meaning, the state, the government, the pols are more important than mom and dad. The United Nations is pushing the sexualization of children. The global community is pressing for a new definition of family, one that puts the government, not the parents, in charge. And the youngest and most vulnerable, meanwhile, are being fed a steady diet of communist-type rot that has them thinking all that's great about America is really dangerous and problematic -- and all that's supposedly threatening and horrible about socialist and communist countries is really a lie. They're being trained in the Marxist way to go, and the forces pushing for this New World Family are at the United Nations. Author Kimberly Ells discusses her findings, based on ten years within the U.N. system.
Have you taken the COVID-19 shots? How about the boosters? If so, are you worried about the headlines and news stories that have been popping of late about COVID-19 shot-related strokes, myocarditis, adverse health impacts? Truthful data regarding the safety of these shots is very difficult to find. In fact, a lot of the data has been actually hidden from public view; witness the recent revelations about Pfizer's push to keep secret its COVID-tied pharmaceutical information for 75 years -- only to be ordered by a judge to release the information. Witness the recent CDC and FDA finding of a possible link between Pfizer's bivalent booster shots and strokes -- and the concerted downplay by many involved parties to release this information to the public. Given all these risks, given all these questions, you'd think the government narrative to get shots in the arms of all Americans above the age of six months would quiet. But no. It's quite the opposite. The push for shots, shots, shots continues -- so, too, the leftist push for mandates and proof of shots. Ann Vandersteel, co-chair of Zelenko Freedom Foundation, discusses.
Globalism Leading to Communism in America
The danger of a new world order, a one world order, a great reset, a total global clampdown on individual liberties -- leading to the destruction of America as we know it -- is real, is looming, is coming on strong. Look at Davos and the collection of bureaucrats who've assembled right now to decide how the citizens of the world should live. Look at how the globalist agenda is sweeping into America's political system. Look at how the business world, led by the Chamber of Commerce, is ushering in more socialism, more Marxism, more globalism -- all in the name of more profits for the corporations who play along. American Exceptionalism is being swept to the side. God-given rights are being trampled daily. Jorge Galicia, a victim of socialism who now speaks with Turning Point USA, has some clear warnings for America.
America's National Security Peril
President Joe Biden isn't exactly doing right by America when it comes to national security. In fact, quite the opposite. The president of the United States is supposed to defend the country from enemies both foreign and domestic -- but with this administration, it seems the biggest threat this nation faces is the White House. From the troubles with transportation to the newly emerging threats from Iran, Biden has one true-blue trait that's obvious: He puts the country in peril daily. Mike Pompeo, former secretary of State under Donald Trump, weighs in on some of today's most alarming national security matters that this administration is failing to address.
One of America's greatest media icons, Kathie Lee Gifford, has entered a new phase of life that's much more focused on spreading the good news -- instead of simply the daily news. She's got several film and book projects that bring alive the stories and characters of the Bible. And she shares her own experiences of faith and love of Christ to kick off the new year of "Bold and Blunt" podcasts.
China is definitely a peril to freedom, not just in America, but around the world. The communist nation has a vision, set forth in its One Belt, One Road initiative, to dominate the world's politics and economies and even culture. And the current CCP president sees the OBOR model making great gains in the coming years, reaching full enactment -- realizing its full vision -- within the next couple decades. But how truthful is the peril of China to American liberties? Author and researcher Josh Kurlantzick doesn't downgrade the dangers of the nation, but says there's a good chance China will be crumbling on its own communism. That's good news indeed.
Ever wonder why Democrats are always so quick to throw down the race card and cry racism, racist, racial discrimination? It's because it's so successful for them. As soon as Democrats label someone or something racist, then all debates and discussions come to an end. All dissenting viewpoints and conflicting opinions are stopped in their tracks. All countering narratives are silenced. And that's all that matters to Democrats. It's not so much about winning the debate or losing the debate as it is about making sure the other side is shut down, stifled, silenced and sent packing. Globalists are seeing the success of Democrats to destroy common sense discussions of policy and politics, and want in on the wins. Globalists love to exploit race because the division that occurs gives them open doors to exert globalist influences. Guest Kevin McGary, co-founder of Every Black Life Matters, discusses why Donald Trump is the right guy to fight these globalist forces and why his win in 2024 in the White House is so crucial to the preservation of American liberties.
Founding Fathers never envisioned a nation where faith and politics were so separate that those who served in government were little more than secular representations of an utterly immoral citizenry. Yet this is how America has become -- a nation where it's considered radical for politicians to profess in something higher than the government. This is why America has become a country of collectivism; where individualism has been blotted out by Big Government. The solution is more Bible, more biblical teachings, more biblically based governance. As Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence put it, America cannot be a republic without also being a nation of people who rely on Christian teachings to guide. Mark Burrell, author of "Rediscovering the American Covenant," discusses.
Ronna McDaniel is under fire for her leadership of the Republican National Committee and constitutional attorney Harmeet Dhillon is coming on strong to take her place. In the meanwhile, the mainstream media is lapping up the race, painting the battle for chair as if it's some sign of inner turmoil and looming Republican Party destruction. Really, the battle for conservative principles versus elitist representation has been ongoing within the GOP for years now. Think tea party times. Think Donald Trump times. And now, with disappointment midterms at the GOP's back, it's time to think of changing the leadership at the RNC. Harmeet Dhillon, who also served as an attorney for Trump during his campaign season, speaks about her vision and ideas for reform.
If any one segment of the population could be faulted for the dismal state of this country's culture and oft-corrupt political world, it's the evangelical voters. Harsh, but true. Fact is only about a third of self-professed Christians vote in any given election. And fact is, too, that the only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for men and women of good moral character to stay silent. Failing to vote is a sort of staying silent. If America wants to turn the time back to an era where individualism reigned and rights came from God -- not from self-interested government -- then the solution is for more Christians doing more voting in more elections. Timothy Head of Faith & Freedom Coalition, discusses the midterms and beyond and what it all means for America's liberties.
Donald Trump, as president, was the guy who rooted out the deep, dark forces of America's government; the one who sent the deep state types fleeing. But then came Joe Biden and out went all the America First gains Trump had made. And now America stands on a very shaky foundation, as Team Biden is busily ushering into U.S. politics and culture all that the United Nations and World Economic Forum bureaucrats have in store for their mass takeover of citizens' freedoms. Think of the 17 sustainable development goals, or SDGs, and how these visions for global dominance, with intent to enact by the year 2030, are truly taking away all that's great of America. What this nation needs in 2024 is another Trump administration. It's the only way to put a stop to the globalism that's sweeping Biden's America. It's the only way to save our liberties for at least a few more years. The Washington Times' own Kelly Sadler, a former Trump administration official, weighs in on the chances for a second DJT White House.
There's a saying that goes, the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for men and women of good moral character to do nothing. And that's exactly what's happened to America today: the country has become a cesspool under the watchful eyes of silent patriots. It's time to speak up and fight back and remind government officials who is the boss. Yes, one person truly can make a difference. John Paul Mac Isaac was just an American citizen doing his job when suddenly, he was confronted with a moral dilemma -- which came in the form of Hunter Biden's laptops -- and rather than cower, or put his head in the sand, or pretend ignorance or helplessness or otherwise display total unconcern, he chose the path of righteousness. For that, he's been persecuted and forced to flee his home. But without John Paul's commitment and determination to do the right thing, the world may not have known about the deep levels of corruption and conflicts of interest with the Biden Family and outside governments.
Things may look bad on the freedom front in America. But that doesn't mean the left has won. That doesn't mean the globalists have stolen America's thunder. It doesn't, however, mean that if patriotic Americans don't get serious about fighting for their freedoms, and become laser focused on taking on the globalists and leftists, then the country of tomorrow's generation will be more in line with Marxist ideologies than Founding Father visions. This is how quickly a nation can fall and lose freedoms: one generation is all it takes. Monica Crowley weighs in with her thoughts on how to take back America from the communist types who are rapidly stealing it -- and how to do it all while still maintaining sanity.
The LGBTQ community is coming on strong in America, pushing harder and harder for more and more influence and power -- even to the point of crippling, crumbling and destroying religious liberties. The U.S. Supreme Court case is being forced, once again, to decide a case of creative independence; that is, members of the LBGTQ community are demanding a Christian web designer create a site for same-sex partnerships that violates her religious beliefs. She said no, the state courts said she had to, so here comes the SCOTUS to weigh in and decide. Didn't we already do this with a Christian cake baker? But this is how the left operates: try and try and try again, never quit and never abandon the quest, no matter what courts, cops, the Constitution and good old fashioned morality say. Democrats in Congress, meanwhile, are busily pushing a bill to make gay marriage a law. But here's the danger for America: God cannot bless a nation that openly, brashly violates biblical law and that openly, brashly accepts sin as normal. God will not be mocked. Eagle Forum president Kris Ullman discusses.
China's on lockdown, protesters are taking to the streets; America's on pins and needles, citizens setting aside money not for Christmas but for the gas tank; Russia's doing Russia, Iran's doing Iran, North Korea's doing North Korea -- and Joe Biden, president of what's supposed to be the world's hope for freedom, is busily licking his ice cream cones. And the media? The watchdogs for the people against the government? The watchdogs in the media are all on board with carrying Biden's water and smoothing out his mistakes -- of which there are many. It'll be a miracle if America survives his next two years of leadership. Actually, it'll be a miracle if Biden himself survives his next two years of leadership. Here to discuss the state of America -- and it's not good -- is Mike Huckabee, former governor, former presidential candidate and present host of Huckabee on TBN TV.
Save the Girls; Vote Out the Democrats
To hear Democrats talk, they populate the party of pro-woman. But they're about as far removed from "pro-woman" as you can get. The LGBTQ agenda alone is tearing down the concept of womanhood and instilling in girls the idea that they have to dress next to boys and compete in athletics against boys and refer to boys with female pronouns -- or else be deemed intolerant, hateful, discriminatory. Then there's abortion, the long-running Democrat-fueled deception that tells girls to go ahead and have recreational sex -- they can be just like the guys and live consequence-free; that they don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancies because it's their body, their choice, and those who say differently are intolerant, hateful, discriminatory. Democrats have been successfully selling the lie that they support women and successfully selling the deception that Republicans scorn women for far too long. Guest Jennifer Kerns, author of "The Real War on Women," discusses.
It's high time America stop listening to the likes of Anthony Fauci and his merry batch of bureaucratic minions when it comes to socially distancing, donning face masks, getting shots, getting boosters, getting tested, getting more boosters and more boosters, to infinity and beyond. It's time to move past the fear and resume a normalcy that is completely pre-COVID -- completely without government medical mandates. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is taking a step toward common sense by recommending males of certain ages rethink the kneejerk tendency to get the mRNA shots because, as he says, the dangers from the injections are higher than the dangers from the virus. If only more in America in the medical community especially would take a page from Ladapo's playbook. He also has a story of utter inspiration and godly intervention, called "Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health" -- that every American needs to put under the Christmas tree this season.
America, beware. China has a game plan for world dominance and it's called One Belt, One Road -- a morphing of the nation's Silk Road. And once the CCP has put in place all its various Belt and Road, or BRI, systems, the communist tentacles will flow through three quarters of the populations of the world. America will be left playing catch-up. America will be second fiddle on the world stage. America the Great will go the way of Rome and fall to another nation. This is not only a peril to American freedoms. It's a threat to all the free societies of the world. Guest expert Michael Hewitt, retired rear admiral of the U.S. Navy, talks about the coming One Belt, One Road storm.
Talk about evil. There's a scientific quest that's been taking place for some time, albeit under the media radar, that goes like this: Let's create a new form of humanity -- one that's even better than what God created. The movement is called transhumanism, and it's a technological-slash-medical pursuit of Humanity, Part Two. The logic is that right now, humans are needlessly suffering diseases, sicknesses and even death and that science could solve these issues. Science could cure death. Seriously? Seriously -- this is the mindset; this is the thinking. Author and researcher Patricia Cori discusses this very real evil called "hacking the God code." And for those who think such talk is all nonsense and conspiracy theory, think again
China is making great inroads into America these days, stripping our exceptionalism one layer at a time. And the communist nation shows no signs of slowing its roll. In fact, under this current White House Administration, the CCP is finding a friend in America. Taiwan is trembling, contemplating the very real possibility of an attack by China before Joe Biden leaves the White House. Meanwhile, America itself is facing a massive loss on the world stage. If China seeps its culture into America's society, and causes our country to become dependent on its communists for economic growth, and all the while steals our technology and creative productions, what hope is there for the future of freedom? Gordon Chang, an internationally recognized expert on China, speaks about the threats from the communist country, including the demise of U.S. patent law and what that means in terms of growing the CCP even stronger.
Christians surveying the world have been wondering for some time now if we've entered the final phase of existence -- if it's Revelation Time. But it's not just Christians who are wondering that question. Plenty of non-believers, on-the-fence believers, secularists and humanists and atheists are discussing the idea of the end of humanity, too. The Bible gives the signs and seasons to watch to predict the ending times, but specifically states that no one but God knows the exact date. Still, there's a lot going on today that would seem to suggest the end days are getting nearer; that the time of the rapture is approaching with a rather astonishing speed. Dr. Michael Youssef, pastor and scholar, discusses if the end is near -- and his new, aptly titled, "Is the End Near? What Jesus Told Us About the Last Days" book.
It's election time and once again, many Americans are wondering if their ballots will be properly counted, and if their district races will finish with fair outcomes. How did America ever get to the point of being so close to a banana republic? Author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza weighs in on the red flags he still sees with the nation's electoral process -- beginning with the outcome of the Donald Trump v. Joe Biden 2020 count. His view: Enough fraud was committed in 2020 that the White House was stolen from Trump. Meanwhile, Pew Research finds that far too many Americans -- mostly Republicans -- are fearful this midterm will travel a fraud-filled path and culminate in unearned wins for Democrats. The problem is we've allowed too much mail-in balloting and early voting. It's time to get back to Election Day -- as a single day.
Donald Trump may be a former president, but he still carries a big stick. When it comes to his public speeches and his obvious love for America, there are few who can compare. Just ask a historian. Craig Shirley, Reagan biographer and best-selling historian, discusses some of Trump's greatest speeches, what made Trump such a great public speaker, and why his messages continue to resonate with the American people even today. Here's a hint: Trump, unlike any other president in modern times, understood the concept of God-given rights. He understood the foundations of American Exceptionalism.
Democrats are treading a very evil path, and it's called abortion. President Joe Biden has announced his first move in the new Congress if Democrats are in power come January 2023 will be to bring forth legislation to codify abortion around the nation -- no matter what states say and citizens vote. That, as Defense Secretary Floyd Austin just announced taxpayer funded assistance for members of the military who want abortions. And that as California under Gov. Gavin Newsom is rapidly becoming the mecca for demonic forces. Newsom not only has taken to billboarded messages across the state -- where he quotes the Bible in support of abortion. But he's pushing a bill, along with his band of merry Democrats, that will allow a woman to abort a baby pretty much anytime along the pregnancy path, even during delivery. It doesn't get any more evil than that. As Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills says, Gavin is becoming a "dark lord" overseeing a state that God won't leave unpunished. And if America goes California? Prayers for the nation would fall on deaf ears. Listen -- and vote wisely this coming Tuesday!
Democrats for decades have been tearing down traditional family structure, trying to make it seem as if the normal is abnormal, and vice versa. And recently, the left has seized on the notion of toxic masculinity, making it appear as if men, as if manhood, as if masculinity itself are just shy of caveman behaviors and that if it weren't for Democrats, and particularly radical feminist Democrats, that this entire sex would be doomed for self-destruction. Toxic masculinity has seemingly become equated with criminal behavior. From there, the left has then sold the idea that if the default position for men is criminal behavior, then the solution for this toxic masculinity is for men to become more like women -- and from there, sold the idea that fair is fair, if men can become women then women should be allowed to become men. Voila, the transgender movement moves mainstream. Thankfully, backlash to the insanity is building and there are groups, like the Promise Keepers, who don't mind taking a stand on the wall to defend manhood. CEO Ken Harrison discusses.
For over two years, the nation's highest paid bureaucrat, Anthony Fauci, skipped his way to near dictatorial powers by pretending to be "science" while advising, recommending and guiding what Americans should do to fight off the coronavirus. Problem is, his advice, recommendations and guidance were more often than not taken as dictates. And that he was able to become America's Tyrant and seize individual liberties on a daily basis by ducking and dodging accountability and using language that gave him the tools to duck and dodge -- saying things like perhaps, and potentially, and maybe -- is a horrible truth that is only growing more horrible by the day. Why? Well, now Fauci's out there in the media merrily gaslighting the American public. For instance, he now says he had nothing to do with closing down America's public schools. Really? He must be held accountable for his deceptions and spins and lies. A new film, "The Real Anthony Fauci," based on Robert Kennedy's book of the same title, gets the ball rolling. Producer Jeff Hays discusses and warns that unless midterms fall the right way, Fauci may escape accountability.
Ever wonder why God deems it improper to wear an item of clothing that's made from both linen and wool? These strange-sounding laws that hail from the Old Testament seem so out-of-place, ancient and even radical by modern standards. But there are good reasons -- and nobody breaks it down better than Bible scholar, best-selling author and media voice Dennis Prager. His latest "Rational Bible: Deuteronomy" tells why this ancient book of the Bible is maybe most pertinent to the forging of America, and even the modern governance of America. Of course, the more secular America grows, the weaker this truth becomes. But the preservation of our liberties depends on the ability of the coming generations to relearn old lessons, beginning with the one that biblical principles were forged into America's fabric from the start and that means if they're lost, if they're forgotten, if they're pushed to the side in favor of secularism and an atheistic culture, then our individual liberties will disappear.
There are too many Americans today who would gladly trade liberties for a feeling of security and safety -- including free speech. And the government exploited this atmosphere like never before in the last couple years, using the coronavirus as cause to shut down so-called "dangerous" speech that countered the medical bureaucrat narrative. Now, we're at a time when critical race theory, cancel culture, and wokeness are exploding on the national scene, combining with a hurricane force to steal all that's great about America; all that's free about America; all that's the root of American Exceptionalism. What's more, as Pew Research Center recently found, the speech police are gaining power. Between 2018 and 2021, the percentage of U.S. adults who want the government to control what speech is put out for public consumption has grown by double digits. This is a dangerous time for patriotic Americans who love their liberties. Sid Rosenberg, media giant, offers some solutions for this new woke world we call America.
Parents of America, be aware: The hard-core lobbyists within the LGBTQ crowd are desirous of corrupting your kids -- and they're not going to stop until they've fully realized their very wicked agenda. It's not enough any more for those in the LGBTQ community to simply win anti-discrimination laws, or simply win enough social tolerance so their lifestyle choices aren't putting them in physical danger. Nowadays, this lobby wants to force those of traditional minds and biblical beliefs and nuclear family preferences to accept their oft-psychologically deranged and sexually charged behaviors and narratives as normal. It's to the point where teachers in schools are told they must refer to Johnny as a "she" or Janie as a "they" else face legal action. And under this far leftist Joe Biden administration, the floodgates have really been opened for the LGBTQ agenda to come on strong. Kris Ullman, president of Eagle Forum, details how the Department of Justice is targeting the organization's Alabama chapter over a state law that prohibits puberty blockers in minors. Talk about weaponizing the DOJ.
Polls show that many in America, particularly from the Millennial generation, would love to have fame and fortune and celebrity status, no matter the cost. But in the end, fame can prove deadly. So what does it say about those who still seek it? More importantly, what does it say about a society that worships the celebrity -- even the celebrity who hasn't done much by way of achievement to earn this celebrity status? America offers an enviable opportunity to achieve much, but the costs are often steep. Bill O'Reilly talks his latest "Killing Series" blockbuster, "Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity," and also sheds some light on his own experiences as a celebrity -- including whether, in the end, it's all worthwhile.
Christians in large numbers have historically sat out America's elections, particularly the midterms. But this is a massive reason why America is facing such perilous times right now. If those who know best about God, fail to keep God at the helm in the politics and culture, then it's only common sense God will be sidelined and more wicked forces will steal the leadership roles. After all, expecting the secular world to put God first is a tad optimistic, if not outright ridiculous -- yes? America's a nation built on the idea that individuals get their rights from God, and that government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But remove God from that equation and what remains is government -- and what then happens is government becomes the giver (and taker) of rights. So it's crucially important for those who know best about Judeo-Christian teachings to get involved in the more secular sides of things. Jason Yates, CEO of an organization that tracks Christian participation in elections, tells why
Children are not animals. Yet Great Reset globalists think it’s a great idea to insert tracking chips in your children, in much the same way dog and cat owners do to their pets. Welcome to the Great Surveillance State. America needs to wake up and smell the tyranny. The left is busily trying to sell the idea the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the United Nations and all the global organizations only have at heart the best interests of the people. But more to truth, they hate individual freedom, they hate individualism, they love collectivism, they love communism — and that sets America right in the sight of their targets. The lockdowns under COVID-19 gave the globalists a little sample of how powerful they could grow in such a short amount of time. And they don’t want to let go. Author Marc Morano discusses the Great Reset’s latest maneuvers, including the strategic mission to kill U.S. energy and transportation systems, and sounds the alarm on why Americans need to awaken to this great danger, and immediately.
Subtitle this: Everything the politicians don't want you to know about Ukraine. Why? Because as guest Rebecca Koffler says, the whole Ukraine matter is something that's turned into quite the quagmire. And it never should have been -- it never would have been -- had Donald Trump been in the White House. Taxpayers in America are being billed billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, but as far as accountability goes, and ensuring the money makes it into the hands of those who are the intended recipients, it's don't ask, don't tell, hands off and turn blind eyes. The media's too busy selling sad, sad images of sad, sad Ukrainians and any one who dares ask about accountability -- as Sen. Rand Paul once tried -- is immediately labeled a hateful scoundrel. Koffler, a Russia-born former U.S. intelligence agent with expertise in Russian affairs, chats up the side of Ukraine-Russia conflicts the politicians don't want discussed and the media doesn't want debated.
It's a dark America out there, and if voters think the way to solve the country's many crises is to elect more Democrats this November, they're sadly mistaken. The left has been busily pushing a foundational reset in America, one that favors China and benefits the bureaucrats in global government at the expense of the U.S. citizen. Joe Biden, puppet president, plays right into these bureaucrats' hands. He's the perfect empty suit for far leftists, including the Marxists who've infiltrated the Democrat Party, to steamroll their agenda through the White House, into politics, into the education system, into culture, into the economy. The hard-working taxpayer is suffering. And according to some economists, the financial drag on America's economy in the form of massively high inflation is only going to get worse over the next couple Biden years. What's needed is a jolt to our system; what's needed is a quick course correction. Donald Trump is the guy who could do that. Peter Navarro discusses his new book: "Taking Back Trump's America."
It's Not a Union -- It's a Mafia Today's public school systems are in shambles, no doubt. But it goes deeper than money, or supplies, or staffing levels. Fact is, most of America's public schools are in total disarray because teachers' unions have taken over the business of teaching, and become more like mafia leaders than servants to the schools. Parents have been painted as intruders. Teachers who simply want to teach are told to pick up that picket sign and march -- or you know what. And administrators who refuse to cave to union demands are put in positions of having to placate the socialist-slash-communist types who've infiltrated the power halls of U.S. education: an impossible task, when it must be balanced with parents' rights. What to do? How to overcome? Are the schools even redeemable any more? Rebecca Friedrichs spent 28 years in California's public school systems, trying to enact change from the inside -- and for that, was vilified. Since, she's started a nonprofit to help fight for America's students, and she has plenty of words of wisdom for those who care about the fate of the nation's liberties, as well as the minds of tomorrow's leaders.
A new poll from YouGovAmerica just found large percentages of Americans of both major political parties, Republicans and Democrats alike, believe this country is headed for a civil war and will actually experience one in the next decade. The disagreements fall along the lines of what the warring parties will be; while Republicans largely believe the civil war will pit political party versus political party, Democrats are more likely to see the uprisings as poor versus rich. In the end, though, the result is the same: America, the divided. This is exactly the opposite of what Joe Biden promised during his campaign and early White House days. Where's the unity, Joe? The problem is deeper than politics, though. It's spiritual. It's the battle of principalities, and it's nearing 12th hour time for the country. If Democrats don't stop their anti-American, anti-God insanities, the country will indeed crumble on civil uprising. Lt. Col. Allen West (retired), executive director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, discusses.
President Joe Biden has channeled his inner "Corn Pop" to wage a war on climate change -- but it's really a war against America's energy independence. He's foolishly labeling climate change as the biggest danger to humanity, a "clear and present" danger, -- "literally!" -- as he puts it. And meanwhile, American citizens are being put in positions of paying more and more for energy that is either derived from outside sources or taxed to the hilt because of environmental policies. This isn't just a pocketbook issue. This is a national security matter. If America can't stay energy independent, it won't be long before the country will be put in a position of begging for basic resources from other countries -- meaning, it won't be long before America is totally reliant on the good graces of other countries to keep us afloat. It doesn't take a genius to see the dangers of this road. Rear Admiral (retired) Mike Hewitt, an expert in energy policy and national security issues, discusses.
If we don't teach tomorrow's leaders why America is so exceptional, then America's tomorrow won't be based on American Exceptionalism. And this is the fork in the road we're now facing: the youth of America are increasingly being taught to hate this country, and scorn the ideas that founders gave us. Truthful teaching of civics in public school could go far toward fixing this problem. Connor Boyack, author of the "Tuttle Twins" series, discusses.
Democrats despise the U.S. Armed Forces. They despise and detest everything the military stands for, everything the military fights for, everything the military members sacrifice in their duty to defend this nation. How else to describe the utter scorn with which this nation's leaders are treating members of the military who don't want to take the COVID-19 shots? Too many of those serving in the ranks who want to claim a religious exemption as cause for refusing the shots can't even get their requests heard in some cases, never mind approved. The percent of approvals of religious exemption requests is outrageously low. And now whistleblowers are coming forward to detail the abuse of military members by higher ranking officials, to include those in the White House who insist these shots are safe, who have reportedly lied and deceived members about the so-called safeness of the shots and who, in the bluntest of terms, have treated our nation's finest men and women as little more than lab rats for the COVID-19 shots. Mike Rose, an attorney with STARRS, talks about the legal cases that are now winding through the courts in defense of informed consent for military members. It's about time the courts got involved; it's about time the military recognized its members' civil rights.
Democrats, beware: The story of Hunter Biden's not disappearing any time soon, thanks in part to a recent astonishing admission from Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg about working with the FBI (allegedly) to stifle the story and in even larger part to a new film making its debut -- just in time for midterms, no less -- called "My Son Hunter." Truth has a funny way of resurfacing and getting out, no matter how hard the deceivers and liars and spinmeisters try to stifle it. And really, when it comes to fighting for the soul of a nation, as Joe Biden likes to put it, there's nothing more powerful than influencing the culture. Robert Davi, actor, director, singer, talks Hunter, "My Son Hunter," Ronald Reagan, the culture, Hollywood and Marxism -- specifically, warning about the Marxist direction that America's been taking over the last few years. And it's a Bold and Blunt show you don't want to miss.
Imagine FBI agents and their law enforcement partners storming into your home, seizing your personal items, boxing up your possessions and removing them from the house, then cuffing you and carting you off and sticking you in prison -- and ultimately, in solitary confinement. For days. For weeks. For months. For however long they can. Maybe you'd expect that treatment if you were a criminal -- or, not an American. But what about if you're just someone who, say, supports Donald Trump or works for Donald Trump or writes favorably about Donald Trump or associates with Donald Trump -- and that was your so-called "crime" and prosecutable offense? What if you came under Department of Justice fire simply for the "crime" of being conservatives? Far too many still believe such scenarios could never happen in America; that America, land of the free, does not engage in secret police or communist practices; that America, beacon of liberty, does not allow persecution of people based on their politics. But it happens. It has happened. And worse, it can happen to any Jane or Joe Citizen. Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chief, discusses his own personal experiences with Robert Mueller and the deep staters who despised all-things-Trump.
Today's federal law enforcement agents are hardly trustworthy. Just take a look at how the FBI and Department of Justice, under the watchful, cheering eyes of Democrats, raided Donald Trump's personal home in Florida, rifled through his wife's clothes, seized boxes and boxes of documents and articles and possessions belonging to the former president -- and then called it all a rightful, proper, necessary execution of search warrant. It's an unprecedented raid on a political opponent, akin to how communist countries do their government business. And worse, it's a warning to all Americans about the utter demise of America's concept of rule of law. No matter whether you like Donald Trump or hate Donald Trump, fact is, emotion shouldn't be your guide on where you stand on this raid. The Constitution and the right of citizens to due process and the rule of law should be the ultimate decider. Those who don't stand on principle will fall to the winds of change, as well as to the whims of the people. Jenna Ellis, former attorney to Trump, speaks about the need to keep the rule of law strong in America.
President Joe Biden's got a problem -- and it's called Jacket-Gate. It's the problem that was widely reported, widely videotaped, widely photographed of him trying desperately to swing his arm into his blue suit jacket while his wife, Jill, looked on and ultimately, tried to help. It was a painful reminder of why Biden never should have been the president of the United States; why Biden's brain-dead-like qualities are making America entirely unsafe; and why Americans deserve better in their commander-in-chief. To Democrats, Biden is the gift that keeps on giving, because he lets the far left platform steamroll easily through the White House. To China, Russia and Iran, Biden is the Best. President. Ever. But to patriotic Americans who care about the fate of their country and the freedoms for their children? Biden's a disaster. And to Dr. Carole Lieberman, America's psychiatrist, it's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Woke, woke, woke. Are you getting sick and tired of being told what to think all the time by the likes of corporate executives and social media censors and left-leaning Big Tech, Big Government, Big Pharma, Bigger Government Marxist-minded tyrants? Of course you are. Nobody likes to be told they're wrong -- constantly -- especially when it seems the only ones being told they're wrong -- constantly -- are the conservatives, the Christians, the patriots of America. Democrats are supposed to be the people of tolerance and diversity, yet they're the ones who are killing free speech, killing diversity, killing any notions of tolerance and acceptance. The more America goes woke, the more American ideals are going broke. And this is by design of the left, of course. A.J. Rice, CEO of Publius PR and author of "The Woking Dead," discusses.
It's beginning to smell a lot like George Orwell out there. The fictional "1984" had its Ministry of Truth, committed to telling lies. Joe Biden's America has its Department of Justice and its federal law enforcement. And what they've just accomplished at Mar-a-Lago in Florida shows just how anti-American, anti-law-and-order these supposed standard bearers of American law and order have become. Weaponizing the federal agencies against private citizens is never a good idea; it tends to distance voters from the weaponizers. It's no wonder Democrats are losing their key voting bases. Everything the Democrats do has become about dragging Donald Trump through the mud, and making sure he doesn't surface to run for -- and win -- the White House in 2024. But thing is, when the Dems attack Trump, they're also attacking the scores of deplorables in America who still support Trump. They're attacking patriots and pro-America types and they're losing any chance they have of keeping political leadership posts. And that's great for America. As guest Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says, we should all wear a Christian Nationalist label proudly -- no matter how the leftists try to turn that into a negative.
The problem with Democrats is that aside from their abysmal policies, socialist platforms and globalist, anti-America views, is that once they see an opening to score political wins, they will push and push and push until even the most moderate voters in the country have difficulty keeping down their lunches. That is to say: Democrats are so disgusting in their politics they even turn normal Democrat voters into non-voters, or worse for them, Republican voters. Such is the FBI's raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Talk about a communist action. Talk about the weaponizing of America's federal law enforcement for political gain. This is what Democrats do, though. They've pushed their rotten policies into public schools; they've pushed their LGBTQ agendas into the mainstream; they've sold an anti-America, anti-liberty, anti-family platform for so long, they're alienating their normal, traditional voting bases -- like Hispanics, like blacks, like moms. And now comes a campaign, Lady Up, America, to teach moms specifically how to fight back against these socialist sources and forces. Diane Canada, kicking of an 18-city tour to teach moms how to fight effectively, and how to become part of the Lady Up, America, movement, joins Bold and Blunt.
You Can't Keep A Good American Down
These times may be dark -- but they're also times of optimism. It's true, most Americans believe we're on the wrong path and that the country is headed in the wrong direction. In fact, a recent poll shows that 88% of Americans believe the nation is going the wrong way, and that dark times are upon us. But that doesn't mean America is dead. That doesn't mean American Exceptionalism is at an end. And that sure doesn't mean Americans have decided to throw in the white towel, call it quits and give up the nation to the far leftists that are fighting to exploit its resources for globalist, elitist purposes. Rather, America's greatness comes from a spirit -- a spirit of Judeo-Christian ideology, a spirit of God-given freedom, a spirit of belief in a higher power. And a spirit can never be killed. Kurt Schlichter, author of the new best-selling "We'll Be Back," discusses.
It's one thing to see the utter damage the unions are causing in America insofar as rotting public students' minds with anti-American, pro-Communism messages, or as far as killing the rights of free citizens employed by private sector companies to speak and act as they wish. But it's another thing entirely to fight against these unconstitutional and even immoral intrusions in a way that's effective. Teachers' unions have become weapons of the Democrat Party to advance far leftist ideologies into the public school systems, at the detriment of America's youth, of America's emerging leaders, and therefore, of America's ability to secure and guarantee its freedoms into the future. Business unions have become the weapons of the Democrat Party to advance anti-free market ideals that make it difficult if not impossible for employees to exercise their individual, constitutional and God-given rights. What to do? How to fight? Mark Mix, president of an organization that tracks and fights unconstitutional union activities, discusses.
China is perhaps the biggest peril to Americans' freedoms these days, and yet, this current administration, this current Joe Biden administration, seems to do more to benefit the communist government than the U.S. citizens. The Democrats can't be that stupid or foolish. The only sane conclusion to this White House's pro-China policies is to see them in terms of purposeful: that is to say, this president would rather help China build, even if means seeing America broken. One key takeaway from this administration's siding with communists over capitalists, that is to say, with China over free Americans, is the president's failure to fully acknowledge the source of the COVID-19 virus and the uncomfortable ties of certain Americans to a) communists and b) the Wuhan lab -- and to act accordingly on the information. According to one recent research project from U.S. security experts, China's on a mad, madcap trajectory to not only take over America, but also depress America's population. China, says Frank Gaffney, with Center for Security Policy, wants to control America's population. Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie -- or at least out of a Bill Gates' b
If you're wondering why America's entertainment system is such rot, listen in and learn: it's not just the growing secularization of the culture that's to blame, but also a rapidly growing infusion of globalism. In a recent essay, WEF wrote of the need to start holding high-level talks to find ways to press forward a more approved message, i.e., globalist-minded message, into the world's entertainment systems. That includes Hollywood. That includes America. So if you think a woke Disney is just a blip on the radar screen of America's entertainment system, think again. With the globalists and bureaucrats in Big Government pushing a collectivist view, it's a sure thing the degradation of America's cultural pursuits will continue well into the future. Thankfully, there are options for Christians and patriotic Americans. One of them? Angel Studios, which produces feel-good faith-filled films and documentaries and television shows and videos. Chief executive Neal Harmon discusses.
The Democrats have been busily trying to tear America apart by dividing the American people into smaller classes, then using hate and fear and jealousy and anger to pit these smaller classes against each other. The end game? If Democrats can divide, they can more easily conquer. That's been a long-time strategy of a party that doesn't have much of a pro-American agenda to offer voters, and so must depend on ploys and deceptions to win elections. But the truth is, as much as the left tries to make it seem as if the Constitution is racist and sexist and worthy of replacing, no other country offers so equal an opportunity to all sorts of people and across all demographic boards, than America. The Democrats simply want to destroy the nation and with it, its ideal of exceptionalism -- God-given individual liberties. Democrats know they can't rule so long as people take their powers from God, and insist on politicians who are constrained by the limited government dictates of the Constitution. Dr. Ben Carson discusses the theme of his new book, "Created Equal" and why these nonstop catcalls about a racist America are so perilous to our country's freedoms.
If America needs moral people to run a government that's moral, then the good news is those in the faith-based communities have been steadily rising up and fighting for the future of American freedoms. Simply put, previous elections have seen massive upticks in the evangelical votes. And while this voting bloc is actually very diverse, and different races and different sexes have different platforms and concerns, fact is all share a common trait of believing the concept of a higher power and therefore, a higher source of accountability -- and that means they're all able to self-control and self-govern. That means they all share an ability to reel in their fleshly behaviors and fleshly impulses because they all believe that one day they'll be accountable for their earthly actions to a higher power. That means they don't need Big Government telling them how to behave. And all that means: the future freedom of America relies on the turnout of the faith-based community at the polls. Timothy Head, executive director of Faith & Freedom Coalition, discusses his group's recent "Road to Majority 2022" event in Nashville, Tennessee.
Democrats have cast aside all appearances of loving America -- of even supporting America -- and instead, have taken up with globalists who are bluntly bent on doing China's will and turning the world communist. So what's a patriotic American citizen to do? Fact is, as Americans grow more and more secular, America grows more and more socialist, and these two things are decidedly linked. Democrats, like communists, ultimately want to wipe out all evidence of God from the public square, and more than that, from the private citizens' hearts. Why? For two reasons: First, God gets in the way of politicians' ability to control the citizenry. And second, in the end, leftist politicians actually want the worship of the people -- and they can't win that when God is still a factor in society. So the real fight in America is about keeping God alive and well and a major presence in society -- in politics, in the economy, in the school systems, in the culture. Since our freedoms are supposed to be God-given, the fate of our nation's freedoms relies on the ability of citizens to keep God at the forefront of all. Chris Salcedo, Newsmax TV host, radio host, podcast host and author, discusses.
The left has been busily using the fear generated by the coronavirus to steal away individual liberties for over two years, and truthfully, the left has no intention to stop. With a feckless president in the White House, who just oddly expanded the emergency order of the coronavirus that had justified clamping individual liberties for two years, and the ongoing press of global bureaucrats to reshape and reset world economies and political systems, the fate of America looks dark -- unless citizens both see the battle and engage. Part of the problem is the vaccines have proven so lucrative to many of those who have been anointed as experts on COVID-19. Where is the media on watchdogging conflicts of interest? It's scandalous that the very people and players pushing for mass vaccination, and mass vaccination only, are the very people and players who gain financially from mass vaccinations. That's normally called a conflict of interest. Peter McCullough, a medical expert who's co-written "The Courage to Face COVID-19" about some of these curious and incestuous partnerships between Big Pharma and politicians, weighs in and exposes some of the worst conspiratorial conflicts.
Between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and in just a few short months, it seems as if this nation has gone from America First to America Last. And it's much more than politics that is tearing apart this country. It's culture. It's values, it's virtues. It's the core traditional cultural values and virtues that have stood the test of time, but that are now being challenged daily. Check the streets and you'll see protesters with vicious intentions, assassins even who want to take out Supreme Court justices, mob-rule mentalities making the communities across the country ones of peril and danger. How to bridge these divides? Maybe even more crucial to consider: Can these divides even be bridged? Former White House communications director and press secretary Sean Spicer discusses.
Don't let the left fool you: American history is tied at the hip to the quest for religious freedom. More than that, America's government and founding documents are dependent upon keeping religion and faith at the helm in society and politics. For decades, leftists in America have been trying to downplay the religious-based founding of this country, in large part because leftists cannot realize their ultimate top-down controls without booting God from the public arena. A country filled with citizens who take their individual rights from God, and who insist on government staying in its subservient role of protector of those God-given rights, is not a country that can be easily conquered by bureaucrats and elitists with tyrannical designs. So religion must go -- else government can't dominate. The Democrat Party has been particularly skilled in recent times about dividing and conquering -- about dividing society into smaller segments of populations that are then pitted against each other. This is how Democrats can then swoope in and control. But America, beware: this is the way of the KGB. And it's come to roost in America's political and cultural systems. Historian and best-selling author Bill Federer discusses.
America is facing a problem of corporate wokeness, and no where else is that campaign more dangerous than when it involves abortion. There are far too many companies out there that don't support the pro-life movement or worse, work actively against pro-life causes. Wouldn't it be helpful to know where to shop, where to buy, where to purchase goods and services from companies in line with the pro-life and even pro-capitalist, conservative cause? Enter Rebecca Hatfield, president of 2nd Vote, an organization that issues ratings for companies based in large part on their level of support for the pro-life side of things, as well as on several other factors of great concern to patriotic, conservative and even Christian Americans.
Abortion has been returned to the states to decide. Gun rights in New York have been restored. And Coach Kennedy can indeed pray on the field after football games. Those are all recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court and those are all big wins for conservatives in America. And guess who's to be thanked for these court rulings? By and large, Donald Trump. If it hadn't been for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump's pressing on his Republican colleagues in the Senate, and Donald Trump's insistence to appoint judges who stayed firm on the side of the Constitution -- then these court wins could just as easily have been court losses. If the nation's highest court had gone moderate, or God forbid, gone liberal, just think where America would be right now regarding abortion rights, religious freedoms and the Second Amendment. Jenna Ellis, legal adviser to Donald Trump during his presidency and his reelection campaign, chats.
Think twice before sending your kids to college in America -- that's the sad and sorry takeaway of today's show. Why? Because the LGBTQ agenda is in full steam ahead mode on most places of higher learning in this country, and the fact is, students are being caught up in the crazy. Professors are being punished for refusing to call students by their chosen pronouns. Clubs are being created to advance an idea that transgenderism is normal, not abnormal. And those kids who disagree with the obvious lies and delusions of the LGBTQ crowd are rapidly becoming the targets for persecution and punishment. It's almost not worth sending children to college these days out of concern they'll come home a left-wing nutcase. Ed Bartlett, chairman of a group the does work with college campuses, discusses a new poll that gives some interesting insights into what Americans are really thinking about the LGBTQ movement.
Once upon a time, politicians in America truly cared about representing the people who voted them into office, if only because they were sensitive to the need to at least appear to uphold the Constitution. But times have changed. And so has America's government. And nowadays more politicians from both parties (sadly) seem to represent the far left views of a handful of far left globalist-minded Big Tech types more than the taxpayers, more than the voters, more even than the Constitution. This is an oligarchy; when just a few select elites govern an entire nation. What's the point of even voting when corporations are the ones making the rules and regulations and dictating the standards for all the rest of society? America's been walking toward this oligarch path for years, but suddenly, under Joe Biden, it's been a flood of economic failures that have finally pushed wide open the door for the select few to govern. Inflation, recession, supply chain issues and massive national debt all threaten to crumble the country, cripple the Constitution and put in position a near-permanent selection of oligarchs who dictate to the rest of us how to live, and under what conditions. Liberty University's Dave Brat, the former tea party darling who unseated Eric Cantor from Congress, chats.
America is falling, China is rising and relations between the two nations are in a cold standoff: Agree or disagree? And before deciding, realize the many, many ways China's communists are stepping toward global dominance, versus the many, many ways America, under feckless leadership and far leftist political influence, are stepping away from that role on the world stage. China's building up its military; America's not. China's making many of America's own products, like pharmaceuticals; America's farming out manufacturing and production. China's strategizing with its control of rare earth elements; America's putting environmentalism as a top concern that leads to the purchase of Green items that, get this, are controlled by communist creation. China's looking to the skies with its technology; America's ceding its race to space and its surveillance systems to others. What's the solution? Vote out Democrats, it would seem. Rep. Mike Waltz from Florida, who serves on many congressional committees that receive timely and crucial information about China and America's national security, has some dire words of warning.
America is facing a time where individual liberties are being stolen daily by a government filled with people who certainly don't fear, or even respect, the citizens who pay their salaries. The role of government has been flipped to the point where elected politicians -- or even unelected bureaucrats -- have become the bosses of the taxpaying citizens. Founding Fathers never intended America to be a place where government officials ruled, but rather a country where individuals took their liberties from God. For over two years of the coronavirus, Democrats in America and globalists at outside government bodies have dramatically stripped individuals of rights that used to be regarded as inherent. They even closed churches, and tried to prevent church-goers from singing. What's happened to this great nation of liberty? What's happened to the concept of God-given freedom? And more importantly, can America recover from its rapid and hurtling demise? The solution is another Great Awakening. Becky Norton Dunlop with the Heritage Foundation discusses.
Most Bible scholars agree there is no mention of America in Revelation or during end times. So this prompts the question: Where does America go? The nation is certainly in a state of decline -- much as many hate to admit. But in order to fight effectively, one must see the battlefield for what it is. In other words, you can't fight what you don't recognize as an enemy. But many wicked agendas are being advanced through the culture and the government by enemies of individualism who are achieving great success in tearing out the roots of America's freedoms, in large part because patriots and those who should know better have been asleep at the wheel, or worse, afraid to speak out and fight. It's nearing midnight. It's getting on to the twelfth hour. It's high time to waken the sleeping beast -- those who love America, love what America stands for and love the concept of American exceptionalism. It's high time to get in the game. It's not too late -- but as one biblical scholar and pastor warns: America is already in a state of decline, feeling the effects of God's punishments. Pastor Jack Hibbs weighs in and talks about "Countdown," his latest book.
America has a socialism problem, and it’s only growing worse. Are you seeing the signs? They’re everywhere. The latest is Joe Biden’s call to grab gun rights from law-abiding American citizens, making it seem as if only that dastardly Second Amendment were gone, or massively watered, then school shootings would come to an immediate end, children would be safe, and lives would be saved. Take away the guns, though, and what holds government at bay? Founders knew government is force, and that without resistance, or the threat of resistance — which is the silent beauty of the Second Amendment — that liberties would be quickly lost and so, too, the Constitution. But Second Amendment to the side, this Joe Biden administration has been taking individual rights — God-given rights — with alarming frequency and boldness, unconcerned with the likes of parental rights, health choice, economic freedom and more. So what to do? George Harbison, frequent Young America’s Foundation speaker, offers solutions.
God works through nations and individuals, and God works in mysterious ways: Those are a couple of biblical truths that can't be forgotten or downplayed, particularly during these perilous and dark times. What's interesting is when you start to understand how God works through those many in the church would scoff -- that's when you begin to realize how the greatness of the cross and the mercy of Christ can really become a force for good. It's the DNA of our great nation; it's the spirit of individualism. Pastor Greg Laurie talks about the rockers he's found who've come to Christ, most notably, Alice Cooper.
America's enemies on the foreign stage aren't exactly fearful of President Joe Biden. In fact, they're mocking -- mocking, laughing, scorning, deriding and biding their time. For what? They're biding their time to take advantage of a feckless and weak president who can't even string together a coherent sentence, never mind put together a tough-on-terrorism, tough-on-socialism, tough-on-enemies-of-America foreign policy. North Korea rattles sabers. Joe Biden rattles waffle cones. China rattles communism takeover. Biden rattles in his nap. Russia rattles at Ukraine. Biden wags his baby rattle. But that's what Democrat administrations always bring to America: weakness on the foreign policy front. Fred Fleitz, former Donald Trump national security official, discusses.
Democrats are to progressives are to socialists are to communists -- are to America's biggest political and cultural threats to youth. The differences in these parties' platforms are slim; the dangers to today's American youth are huge. Barack Obama was great at pitting youth against their parents and drumming up fake outrage about perceived insults, offenses, disparities and discriminations. But his way of pushing an anti-America narrative into the minds of the younger generations is simply the way of the entire Democrat Party -- and the similarities in tactics of Democrat Party training in the ways of collectivism are shockingly similar to how communist governments work, to bring about total top-down control in their respective communist nations. Will Witt with PragerU discusses the fate of America's youth, and the future of American freedoms.
Democrats by and large poll far behind Republicans when it comes to asking Americans to pick which party better protects against terrorism and would-be terrorists. But when it comes to comparing Joe Biden with Donald Trump, it's an apples to cupcake comparison. That is to say: there is no comparing. Americans believe Trump had their backs and that Biden -- well, that Biden's got an ice cream cone to lick. And those are the numbers from 2021, before America even had a full year of feckless Biden to examine. Now? Nowadays, if it weren't for inflation, foreign policy would be much more of a concern to American citizens because this administration, this White House, this president are all truly abominable on foreign policy and fighting terrorists. So which president shines tall in the arena of the War on Terrorism versus doesn't shine at all? And speaking of the War on Terror -- how's that going, anyway? Bill O'Reilly, media star and best-selling author, speaks on his newest Killing Series book, "Killing the Killers: The Secret War Against Terrorists," and gives a few hints about what he knows about the War on Terror that average Americans don't.
Democrats, in case you haven't noticed, have a little bit of a woman problem this election year. The party has spent the last couple years regulating away all the political capital its members have forged with women through the years, and now, going into the midterms, polls are showing this key voting block is fleeing both Joe Biden and his party colleagues. Look at what the Dems have done in recent times: They've told women to keep their kids home from school. They've told moms the government has the right to offer their kids pornographic public school library reading materials, and that parents have no rights to protest anti-American critical race theory curriculum. They've told girls in sports to shut up, sit down and stifle their complaints about boys entering their athletic competitions as "females" and stealing awards, recognition and scholarships from real, biological females. They've attacked motherhood as weak and exalted abortion on demand as powerful. And then came inflation -- and the government's attempt to sell inflation as a sign of a positive economy. No wonder women want nothing to do with Democrats. Patrice Onwuka discusses.
It's no coincidence that just shortly after Barack Obama delivered a speech at Stanford University calling for more controls on disinformation -- that is to say, government crackdowns on free speech -- that Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security rushed into overdrive to announce a new Ministry of Truth, err, make that Board of Disinformation. The Democrats attack the Constitution every chance they get. And free speech is one of their largest points of attack. Why? Simply put, Democrats can't withstand contrasting viewpoints because contrasting viewpoints always point out how ridiculous, nonsensical, irrational, anti-American and outright unconstitutional are the ways of the Democrats. They have to cry like toddlers and put their hands over their ears -- and they want you to do the same. Rep. Ken Buck discusses the Democrats' latest anti-American and unconstitutional overreach -- the disinformation board, in all its anti-First Amendment glory.
Democrats are certainly showing their lunatic side, what with all the protests in the streets about Roe v. Wade, and the verbal assaults on the Supreme Court justices, and the storming to justices' homes in Maryland and Virginia, and the storming into Catholic churches in certain spots of the United States, and all. But why are they so lunatic? The leaked draft ruling doesn't do anything to Roe v. Wade but hand it to the states to decide. And in many states, legislators are busily working right now to guarantee that abortion stays free and unfettered for women. Other states, of course, are doing the opposite -- clamping abortion, restricting abortion, setting their sights on doing away with abortion altogether. And that's why the left is up in arms: they can't stand the idea of America taking a law and order and constitutional approach to abortion -- they want it to stay the privacy issue it was ruled, and they don't want the accountability and transparency that a duly legislative process would bring. Legal experts Victoria Toensing and Joe DiGenova have quite a few things to say about the matter.
President Joe Biden just called the Make America Great Again, or MAGA, crowd the most extremist political organization in all of American history. No wonder America's youth are graduating school with outright hatred of and hostility to this country: this is the same deceptive rhetoric they're being fed by public school teachers. Fact is, Biden's ridiculous claim ignores the Weather Underground, a radical political group that the FBI said bombed 25 government buildings. His claim also ignores historical truths about the KKK, the New Black Panther Party, and more recently, antifa. But that's how the left furthers its anti-American agenda: by lies, deceits, historical revisionism, and the like. If America's youth are constantly fed such a diet of deceits, where does that leave the future of America's government, economy, and social structure? Sam Sorbo, Hollywood star and education activist, has some solutions to save America's youth from the propaganda breeding grounds of the left that have become the nation's public schools.
National statistics show that millions of children are abused by the ones they love each year -- sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally, psychologically. So what of these poor victims? The Democrats would have it believed the government is their only solution; the government is their only savior. But the truth is: Government keeps these poor souls in bondage, by not only telling them they're victims (which is true) but also by telling them their victim status means they can never amount to anything (which is false). Only God can restore their seeds of greatness -- only God can give back what Satan stole. If Americans truly want to help those who are the least in society, then it's imperative that those who are the least are told and made to believe that they're made for something greater in life -- something greater than being an addict, a victim, a cradle-to-grave charity case. Guest Brooke Robertson talks about her journey of healing from sexual abuse through the God-given blessing and talent of song.
When it comes to advancing an agenda, leftists know they have no principles, no platform and no real ideas that will resonate with American citizens, so they have to rely on lies and fear to advance their cause. Just think about it: If Democrats were honest about their socialist-slash-communist-slash-collectivist designs, how many voters would really vote for their candidates? Right; few. Only the illegals they let in the border; only the most radical of radicals who fund their party -- that's who. So in order to push forward their ideas, Democrats (meaning socialists and communists) have to lie, and they have to look for ways to exploit the population and deceive them into voting for what are truly unconstitutional and even ungodly issues. That's what the Democrats have been doing with the coronavirus for two-plus years. Moreover, that's how the Democrats ultimately seek to platform coronavirus fears and COVID-19-tied crackdowns on liberties into climate change fears and environmentalist crackdowns on liberties. In order to beat the leftists at their evil control-freak games, it's crucial to understand their lies and how they exploit fears. David Legates with the Independent Institute discusses.
In America, individual rights come from God, and government is put in place only to secure and protect those rights, not grant them. But far too many times today's government stretches its boundaries and exerts its influences in ways that aren't constitutional, that aren't in line with Founding Father intents and that aren't even particularly moral in nature. If more Americans focused on the war over "God-given rights" instead of running from battle to battle, believing that the next election will bring liberty, or the incoming politician will bring back freedoms, then maybe America wouldn't be facing such an assault on individualism right now. Pure and simple: leftists want globalism and collectivism, and ultimately, the total annihilation of God from the public stage. Leftists ultimately want the worship of the people. So the bigger war is not about elections and Republicans winning over Democrats; it's about the ability of the American people to insist on God-given over government-granted. Pete Peterson with Pepperdine University discusses.
Democrats destroy everything they touch -- but seriously, do they have to go after the military, too? The U.S. military is the finest in the world, the best trained, best funded, best equipped. But beginning under Barack Obama, and continuing under Joe Biden, is a determined push to turn America's fierce fighters into social justice experiments. Troops, airmen, Marines -- they're all being subjected to tens of thousands of hours of forced social justice training, including critical race theory courses. If Americans don't put a stop to it, and put a stop to it but quick, the finest who wear the uniform will leave, exit stage left, and leave the fighting and would-be fighting to the wussified and whipped. Rod Bishop, president of STARRS, discusses.
A new poll shows that a majority of likely American voters believe President Joe Biden is compromised or conflicted when it comes to dealing with China because of his family's long-running business partnerships with the communist country. What's more, it's not just Republicans who believe this; a large percentage of independents and even Democrats think he's conflicted on China. Add to that an undercover investigation conducted by Accuracy in Media that finds schools in America that have been legislatively prevented from teaching critical race theory are still finding ways around those laws -- and are still teaching CRT to kids -- and the long-term dangers to America are massive. If everyone from the president of the United States to the youth, i.e. emerging leaders of America, believe China is a great model of governance and communism is a fairer way than capitalism to run an economy and the United States is not so much exceptional as needful of massive overhaul, to bring it more in line with collectivism and globalism -- then how can free America survive? Adam Guillette, AIM president, weighs in and discusses.
Christians in America certainly don't face the same intensity level of persecution felt by those of the faith in other countries; American evangelicals, for instance, aren't getting their heads cut off and aren't being thrown in jail for the simple act of worshipping God and reading the Bible at home. But remember: Churches were just shut down by government order due to the coronavirus clampdowns. And meanwhile, in schools across America, it's becoming harder and harder for youthful Christians to exercise their God-given rights of free worship and talk about biblical principles. Try wearing a cross necklace in some schools and see what happens; try talking about Jesus at Christmas-time and see what happens; or in the case of one student in one school, try talking about homosexuality in context of biblical truths and see what happens. Abe Hamilton, general counsel with American Family Association, talks about his court fight on behalf of a student who was suspended for talking about homosexuality in terms of what the Bible teaches.
Apathy in the Christian community is why America is facing such perilous times -- agree or disagree? If the more secular America grows, and the more secular Americans grow, then it stands to reason that the more secular the cultural and political worlds become. So where does leadership take its moral compass if not from the church, if not from the Bible, if not from once-commonly accepted Judeo-Christian beliefs and ideals? The answer is from self. Today's America is governed by those who rely on their own interpretations of right versus wrong. And if you look at today's schools, especially the places of so-called higher learning, the outcome of such training is showing itself as screaming, idiotic, ignorant youth. These are America's emerging leaders -- if the Christian community remains silent. Allen West, with Young America's Foundation, discusses.
The lunatic left simply cannot allow any differing viewpoints. Just ask Amber Athey, the former WMAL/Cumulus radio talk show host who was fired because of a tweet she put out joking about VP Kamala Harris and her brown suit that reminded of a UPS employee. The left rounded up its crazies and demanded radio executives fire Athey -- and why? They called her tweet racist. They called her racist. And once that "r" label gets tossed, it's tough for the weak-kneed to stand tall. Thus, the weak-kneed at WMAL and Cumulus caved. But it's just this type of woke mob mentality that's taking over America's college campuses, as well. Carine Hajjar, a Harvard graduate, discusses the bias she suffered at college for her crime of being a conservative. There are so many emerging conservative voices among the youthful generations today, because they're seeing the insanity of the left and they're desirous of a return to freedom. But they're steadily being stomped. They're under vicious attack. It's a tough time to be a young conservative in America.
Christians in Ukraine are facing especially difficult times right now because the Orthodox Church in Russia is trying to take over, and that means those of faith may face persecution if they don't go along. Why? How so? One of the curious oddities about the Orthodox church in Russia is that many of its members are barely one step in faith away from atheism. So if that church seizes control in Ukraine, it'll be akin to having a faith community of Christianity that's barely Christian. It's an underreported result of Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine. And one Virginia pastor, Andrew Moroz, who was actually born in Ukraine but now lives in America, said the media reports we now see of the destruction of his once home country can be believed: It really is as bad as it seems, he said. He offers several ideas on how to help.
When American politicians put their own political parties first, and their constituents second, degradations to the concepts of God-given rights and limited governance take place. Out goes the Constitution, in comes the partisan bickering and fights and political infighting. Many of America's founders, including George Washington, detested the idea of parties running the political world because they feared a) political leaders would then become beholden to party leaders, not voters and b) the country would be split by political party fights, and fail to uphold the more inclusive tenets of the Constitution. And guess what? Look around, and that's exactly what's taking place today -- politicians far too often do the bidding of their respective party leaders than of their constituents. Those few bold and brave politicians who try to buck the party system by standing first for principle and second, for party will, are quickly brought to shame. Steve King, former congressman of Iowa, was one such politician who was attacked even by his own party members. He chats about what ails America, and how Americans can fix its problems before falling completely into a political and cultural morass.
Where do you get your truth? If it doesn't start with the Bible, then that's a truth that falls short. America's greatness comes from the fact that individual rights come from God, not government. In order to preserve and protect that system of God-given rights, however, the people must be knowledgeable of the principles of the Bible. How to profess being a nation of individualists, with rights coming from God, and government only being in place to protect those rights -- if God is removed from the equation? All problems in America can be traced to the fact that Americans, by and large, in alarming numbers, are growing in secularism, turning from the churches, failing to read and apply the Bible to modern day politics, culture, education and the rest. Americans are being deceived by a world that wants it forgotten that the source of freedom is God -- and by a world that wants it believed that government, and only government, can protect rights for the people. Thus, the rapidly approaching Great Reset -- New World Order -- globalist takeover of sovereign nations. A turn back to God starts with repentance. Pastor Jack Hibbs discusses.
Metaverse isn't just simply the next shiny bit of technology to embrace. And it certainly isn't a video game. The metaverse threatens to be the breaking point for American liberties -- for American liberties as they come from God, not government. Once realized, the Metaverse will become the fictional alternative reality that will steal individual liberties, threaten the safety and mental health and well-being of the American citizenry, and zombie-like, hypnotize a generation of youth into ceding the seeds of greatness that God planted in them at birth for a life of pretend greatness -- for a faked, fabricated, fantasy world where government eyes are forever watching, tracking, surveilling, controlling. Scary stuff, yes? Newsmax TV host, columnist, former Republican Party official, former George W. Bush teammate and all-around conservative commentator Tom Basile weighs in on the dangers that lurk within this emerging technological platform, Metaverse. It's a show to awaken the slumbering patriots to say: Fight now, or forever let the Metaverse take over.
It's only been a little more than a year since Joe Biden took to the office of the president of the United States, and just look at all the destruction that's ensued. America's economy is faltering. America's inflation rate is soaring. And Americans' morale is crumbling. One has to wonder: Is this by accident, or by design? As Rep. Jim Jordan says, the open borders have to be purposeful -- aimed at destroying a system of law and order and national security, and ushering in an age of lawlessness and questionable voting and national insecurity. Biden, plus socialist-communist Democrats, equals massive and mass America destruction. An arrogant left bent on joining forces with a globalist group of elitists are busily undercutting the Constitution and all that's great about this country. But Jordan waxes optimistic. The future for America, he says, still looks good.
America's at war with itself, with Democrats hating on Republicans, conservatives hating on liberals, Joe Biden supporters hating on Donald Trump supporters, and the media, at least the corporate media, loving it because of the ratings' draws such hot-tempered rhetoric brings. But there is a place and time that still exists where those of differing opinions can gather to discuss, debate and yes, even argue -- but then leave as friends, or at least, as agreeable partners in this great experiment called the United States. Bold and Blunt is such a place, and today's discussion is with a member of the Rockefeller family whose viewpoints don't exactly meet the show's Christian conservative mold -- and yet, polite discourse ensues. Meet Dave Spencer, founder of the Practically Political campaign, which is aimed at injecting a pragmatic perspective into today's hottest debates and at bringing together normally warring sides for a common cause: for the betterment of America.
How positive or negative are you about the state of America, 2022? If you're like most Americans, you're not feeling very good about the direction the country's headed -- and the fault is primarily with the Democrats in the White House. Call it the Feckless Joe Biden Effect. But the perils to American liberties come from a source with far more influence and power than even the White House. That is to say: globalists are afoot to tear down America's Constitution and steal the nation's resources. Call it ESG. Call it The Great Reset. Call it the fault of Larry Fink and his powerhouse BlackRock investment firm. But whatever it's called, patriotic Americans need to fight, and fight hard. The fate of God-given liberties depends on winning this war against globalism. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, Republican congressman for Pennsylvania, discusses.
There is much to see in the world through dark eyes. There's Ukraine and the onslaught of Russian forces. There's the soaring inflation in America. There's the fecklessness and weaknesses of President Joe Biden, and the frustrating realization that he still has three more years or so to serve -- three more years or so to wreck America's economy and America's standing on the world stage. But America is still a nation of greatness, filled with great people. And when dark times come, Americans can remember fondly some of their most inspiring leaders -- like Ronald Reagan -- and realize: The nation's best days can still be ahead. Reagan expert Peggy Grande, who served for years with the former president, chats about the Gipper and his inspirational messages for the nation.
America 2022 is facing a complete loss of constitutional liberties, and with a feckless president at the helm, a complete loss of respect on the world stage. But America's seen tough times before. And so has the world. Whether we're talking about the American Revolution or COVID-19 pandemic clampdowns on freedoms or other times in history where world wars have brought out the ugliest, most vicious and greatest evil of humanity, good can -- and ultimately, will -- prevail. Historian and best-selling author Craig Shirley discusses one such dark moment in time, April 1945.
China's growing influence in America and around the world is at the point of alarm, and it doesn't help that we have a president whose reputation is feckless and weak and whose son is too-close-for-comfort with the communist regime. The One Belt, One Road Initiative, also called the Belt and Road Initiative, along with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, are rapidly opening doors for China to spread its anti-freedom messages, influences and controls in dozens of countries. Jack Brewer, former NFL player and the chairman of the America First Policy Institute's Center for Opportunity, speaks about the Olympics, the AFPI's China Policy Initiative, and the danger of allowing a godless country to spread its atheist, communist influences around the world.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin just signed into law a bill that handed back parental rights to parents by taking the decisions on whether or not to face mask kids in schools away from the bureaucrats. What a win for freedom. What's great about this is the fact this is a law, not just an executive order, not just a government mandate, not just a bureaucratically issued suggestion-slash-dictate -- but a real, true, constitutionally passed law. So Democrats in the teachers unions, in the school boards, in the political realm cannot undo this authority without passing a law that, in essence, undoes the authority. From fascism to freedom, in one fell swoop. Now more legislatures in more states and more politicians in more offices need to do the same. Enough of the coronavirus-fueled mandates, more of the constitutional and duly passed pieces of legislation. Time for normalcy -- meaning law and order -- to return. Longtime editor, commentary writer and media pundit Terry Jeffrey discusses the state of freedoms in America in this COVID-19 crazed atmosphere the leftists are desperately trying to exploit.
Call it the Joe Biden effect -- call it the swing of the pendulum. But the left is in turmoil right now because minorities, known colloquially in political circles as the bread and butter of the Democrat Party, are fleeing for more conservative grounds. Hispanics, women, blacks, no doubt tired of the open borders, lawlessness and disorder and defund the police movements that have spawned crazy crises in communities across the nation, are abandoning their Democrat politicos and threatening to give Republicans huge leads in the coming elections. Some are even running for office, hoping to unseat the Democrats and change the system from within. Joe Pinion left his hosting duties at Newsmax TV to challenge New York's Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat. He talks about the state of politics in America.
Too often in America, the public servant class is able to skirt constitutional accountability because of a system called qualified immunity that makes it nearly impossible for the private citizen to sue for government offenses. It's time to revisit this system and reform it. And while we're at it, we ought to look at no-knock warrants and civil asset forfeiture, too. Why should some in society be allowed to run around constitutional processes, while the majority cannot? After all, justice is supposed to be blind. America is supposed to have a classless society. Citizens are supposed to have God-given rights, not rights that come from government bureaucrats. And the political class is not supposed to be treated to better protections, more protections, additional rights and powers that lock out the private citizens from pursuing and obtaining justice. The Institute for Justice's Anya Bidwell talks about the shocking two-tier system of law in this country that's giving bureaucrats who brazenly break laws a court-sanctioned layer of protection from accountability.
If you want to know the source of cancel culture, look no further than the Bible. If cancel culture is a vicious desire to take down a person, wipe out a person's influence, destroy a person's ability to work, speak and function as normal in a free society, then it's obvious -- these are not fruits of God but rather the devil. Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame has a new book, "Uncanceled," in which he reveals the biblical basis of cancel culture, and tells how a faith-based culture can overcome the destruction of the individual. Here's a hint: forgiveness is key, and so is love.
Carrie Sheffield is a senior policy analyst with the Independent Women's Forum, a listed speaker with Premier, a frequent media guest and pundit for national television and radio, an author, a journalist and so much more. But she's also a person was raised in poverty, by a Mormon father who prophesied her doom, with a schizophrenic brother who tried to rape her, and under circumstances that at times were so dire and desperate, it's a wonder she could function in today's world, never mind grow to hold such influence. SO how'd she do it? In a word: God. Her story is one of inspiration because it shows how faith in God can lead Him to do great things in a life that the world would see as throw-away material. The takeaway is that if God does that for her, He certainly does this for all His children. Politics and culture are important, but the real and crucial issue is finding faith, and holding on to faith, in a world that's more evil than good.
Narcissists are destroying America from within because they're failing to grasp and advance key concepts that made this country great in the first place: for instance, the idea of moral and virtuous service to others, offered and provided voluntarily, so that government is kept in its limited place. And who's the most narcissistic of all? Millennials. Professor, author and pundit Mark Bauerlein discusses his "The Dumbest Generation Grows Up," and why the emerging leaders of America may prove the fatal blow to society's freedoms.
America was founded in large part on the quest for a land that offered religious freedom. But how rooted to that freedom is modern America? It's true, Americans enjoy God-given rights, at least in concept, and a First Amendment that underscores religious liberty as near-sacrosanct. At the same time, America has increasingly turned the corner toward secularism and materialism, and American businesses have become all too willing to jump into bed with countries that persecute believers. The American consumer, meanwhile, has become all too accustomed to buying products from nations with immoral governments filled with tyrannical politicians who lead up the persecution of believers. China, anyone? It's time to become part of the solution, not the problem. It's time to right America's skewed moral compass and put God, godly governance and principled government at the helm -- and set money-making as a secondary consideration, at best. Tom Garrett, former congressman, has a story of personal faith to share about how he left behind his demons to find a path of fighting for religious freedoms around the world. He talks about ExileSeries.com, a documentary production in the making that highlights the dire need for those of faith to help fight the persecution that's taking place right now, under our very noses, all around the world.
When it comes to rooting out the biggest health risks of the coronavirus and all its various variants, turns out, it's obesity that's the problem -- not the failure of citizens to wear face masks, not the reluctance of Americans to social distance, not the refusal of patriots to stay home, stay out of work, stay away from church. If you look at the real facts, the real data, the real science, it's obesity that is the serious coronavirus concern, the one driving COVID-19-tied hospitalizations and serious illnesses and deaths. So why are Democrats in safely, solidly Democrat-run states continuing to push ridiculous non-scientific and overly abusive policies like face mask mandates on school kids? Answer: Politics and power. Guest best-selling author Michael Betrus talks about the coronavirus data he's crunched over the last couple years, and in so doing, exposes the very many COVID lies of the left's continued lockdowns.
President Joe Biden says he's a uniter, bent on bringing America back from what he characterized on the campaign trail as the darkness of the Donald Trump administration. But his rhetoric is divisive; his politics are divisive; his policies are divisive; and even his fellow Democrat Party members are horrified at his speeches. Americans aren't fooled into thinking Biden is uniting the country, rather than dividing. Poll after poll after poll shows his job approval is sinking. So how to survive another three years of this administration? Philip Howard, founder of a group called Common Good, thinks he has some solutions for Americans weary of the divisiveness and ready for common ground solutions.
The U.S. Supreme Court told Joe Biden to take a hike on vaccine mandates for private citizens working in the private sector, but said OK to the same being forced on hospital workers whose places of employment take federal tax dollars. What's wrong with this picture? Simply put: Neither case fully upholds the idea of rights coming from God -- the very premise upon which this nation was built, the very ideal that makes this country exceptional. How come private-sector employees are considered private citizens, worthy of God-given rights, but nurses working for certain hospitals are not? These are perilous times, if the standard for individual rights is based on how much federal funding enters the picture. Dave Kubal, president of Intercessors for America, talks about how citizens should react to these cases, and explains why prayer is the building block of all the nation's freedoms.
Remember when America wasn't ruled by fear? If you're sick, stay home. If you're not feeling well, stay home. If you're not sick, however, go live your life. That's a much-forgotten common-sense idea these days, due in large part to the left's exploitation of the coronavirus for political reasons. So where did all this allowance for the political class to clamp individual rights come from, anyway? Emergency use authorizations, the justification for speedy approvals of vaccines, and the root of much of today's coronavirus crazy causes, hearkens back to George W. Bush days. But the abuse of EUAs must stop. America must return to freedom. Columnist and home-schooling mom Bethany Mandel weighs in and discusses the insanity that's taken over U.S. government.
Democrats aren't just trying to win political elections. They're trying to win political elections so they can utterly destroy all that makes America great. And they're doing so even as they deny doing so. Truly, what is in the minds of Democrats who use January 6 as cause to show all conservatives as violent thugs and who tie January 6 imagery to election reform so as to make it seem as those who oppose the federal takeover of ballot boxes are only conservative violent thugs? That's how Michelle Obama is approaching the issue. That's the messaging she's trying to promote while entering politics and calling for mass registration of voters who will then demand complete revamping of America's voting system. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist and best-selling author, weighs in on the insanities within the Democrats' minds.
Democrats have nothing on which to campaign. They're losing favor with the public, they're losing favor with the all-important independents, they're losing favor even with members of their own party. Joe Biden's poll numbers are in the dumper, and falling even dumpier. And Afghanistan is still a massive problem for them because even non-political types in America understand that it's just not morally proper to abandon and betray citizens and allies. So what do Democrats do in order to keep their hopes for election wins alive? Point fingers about January 6. Point fingers about the coronavirus. Point fingers about climate change. And point fingers at Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters. Kash Patel, former Trump administration official, speaks of his own testimony before the January 6 commission, and of Biden's failures, of which there are many.
Is America headed on a crash course toward socialist disaster? Can prayer save the country? These are the questions that are on the minds of God-fearing, constitutionally minded, conservative constituents around the nation who see what's taking place under Joe Biden, who see how the left and the globalists and the Marxists are gaining ground and who wonder: Is it too late for America? Matthew Lohmeier, former Space Force commander, was fired for sounding the alarms on Marxism in the military and he's here to discuss.
The number of Christians being persecuted around the world has risen substantially between 2019 and now and it's due largely from COVID-19-related reasons. That's the finding of a recent religious watchdog group's report. And religious persecution isn't just happening in other countries. America has been seeing its own increased incidents of persecution of Christians, of Jews, of Muslims. If religious freedom is the foundation of freedom, this upward trend of persecution is alarming. Sam Brownback, former Kansas governor and U.S. senator, and ex-ambassador at-large for international religious freedom, discusses.
This Joe Biden administration has taken the cell phone and pen playbook of governance from the previous Barack Obama administration and run it down the field, and American citizens are in great peril of losing their God-given liberties. The coronavirus mandates have given the White House seeming carte blanche to use so-called science to exert massive clampdowns. Biden, meanwhile, is telling outright lies about the unvaccinated, and using these deceptions to push for more and more clampdowns on liberties. Guest Jonathan Emord, a constitutional attorney and author who's taken on the federal government many times in court -- and won -- discusses.
Democrats won't quit on the January 6 investigation. Why not? They can't leave any America First spirit intact. It's a threat to their rule; it's an offense to their leftist agendas. So Democrats on Capitol Hill are busily pretending they're investigating criminal acts that threaten national security all as a means of dragging before the media the key players in the Donald Trump administration who've been bold in their own America First views -- people like Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. Today's guest, Navarro, discusses.
To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, that is the question. But the bigger question is: Does government have the right to tell you to vaccinate, or to force your employer to force you to vaccinate as a condition of keeping your job? The Constitution would suggest no. Common sense would suggest no. But Joe Biden and his band of merry White House tyrants continue to push the idea that government has the right to guide private individuals' medical decisions. And it's leaving the economy in a mess. On top of that, it's utterly killing the concept of God-given rights upon which this nation was founded. The vaccine mandates are truly shaping to be the civil rights issue of this era. Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni, senior science adviser to the Men's Health Network, weighs in and discusses.
Foreign policy under a Democrat is never a particularly safe moment in time for American citizens. Why not? Because Democrats, by and large, favor a foreign policy that focuses solely on diplomacy, and that is seen as weak by the rest of the world. But feckless Joe Biden takes this weakness to an entirely new level. The United States, under this administration, is being treated like a little girl on the international stage -- unable to make decisions, unable to take a strong stand, unable even to deal with difficult decisions posed by militarily aggressive governments. Russia's amassing of troops at the Ukraine border underscores Biden's weakness. Former intelligence analyst and "Putin's Playbook" author Rebekah Koffler discusses.
America may be facing some tough times right now. Americans may be seeing their civil liberties stripped at government whim, their abilities to earn for their families stopped at every turn, their freedoms to travel and freely associate absent political intrusions clamped on a near daily basis -- but as Rush Limbaugh might say: It ain't over yet for America. James Golden, a.k.a. Bo Snerdley, author of the new book, "Rush on the Radio," talks about the radio giant, but also the issues in America that hold potential to crumble the Constitution. And yes, while life may be going like the tail end of an Ayn Rand novel right now, there's always hope. The darkness of communism can never completely blot the light of liberty.
America was founded on a concept of rights coming from God, not government, and chief among those God-given rights is the one that says individuals have the authority to express themselves as willed -- that individuals have the right to free speech and expression. The Founding Fathers underscored that authority in the First Amendment. But the left has taken it on itself to label some speech good, other speech bad, and even other speech as downright dangerous. Question Anthony Fauci and it's deemed dangerous. Question the results of the 2020 election and it's deemed dangerous. Where does it end? Guest Hans Von Spakovsky discusses in context of chatting up his new book, "Our Broken Elections."
It's one thing to see higher prices at the gas pump, higher prices at the grocery store, higher prices on the Thanksgiving dinner table. But it's another thing entirely to be told that these higher prices are actually signs of a healthy, vibrant and chugging economy -- and to deal with it because, well, as Team Joe Biden argues, things aren't that bad really. Kevin Hassett, former economic adviser to Donald Trump and author of the new "The Drift: Stopping America's Slide to Socialism," sets the economic stories of this White House straight.
America, under this Joe Biden administration, may not make it through the next four years without undergoing a radical and foundational change, the intensity of which would compromise the country's civil liberties forever. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich discusses life after Biden in context of chatting up his new book, aptly titled, "Beyond Biden." But he also talks about the growing threat of China and debates whether or not this White House can properly address the communism that's steadily seeping into U.S. culture, politics, education and the economy.
President Joe Biden's poll numbers are plummeting, and he's losing favor with the American people near-daily. But it's even worse than that, says media giant Bill O'Reilly. This administration is doing everything it can to run from Donald Trump-type policies, it's actually undercutting its own hopes for success. The economy's down, inflation's up and America's morale is crumbling. Meanwhile, China's coming on strong. And Biden's big response? To attack American citizens who haven't yet vaccinated, who don't want to wear face masks and who aren't willing to blindly obey the ever-changing, randomly enforced unscientific coronavirus science.
It's getting pretty difficult for patriotic American citizens to find companies that aren't offensively preaching social justice causes, or Black Lives Matter agendas, or LGBTQ causes. And with the holidays coming, and shopping swinging into high gear, the question for conservatives is rapidly becoming: Where can I find a place to shop that isn't supporting radical leftism? Well, that's a tough call. But Bill Flaig, co-founder of American Conservative Values ETF, has some ideas on investing in companies that don't offend the conservative senses. It's not an overnight solution to fighting woke corporations, but it's a solid start.
Donald Trump has alleged from day one that the only reason he’s not in the White House today is because leftists successfully stole the election from him and gave it to Joe Biden in November of 2020. But how true are those claims? Mollie Hemingway, noted author, esteemed journalist and famed Fox News contributor weighs in with a well-researched look at the 2020 elections called “Rigged.” And one of her red flag findings? There was more to the election fraud claims than meets the eye. That the book and discussion comes right around Veteran’s Day, the time to remember those who fight to preserve our nation’s God-given liberties and First Amendment freedoms, only adds to the eyebrow-raising censorship of the left.
Jack Brewer, former NFL player and self-described “slave of Jesus Christ,” says an “anti-Christ spirit is sweeping the nation.” What say you? Before answering, look to the public school systems. Boys dressed as girls are allowed in the girls’ dressing rooms. Libraries offer little kids reading materials that are just shy of pornographic. Teachers’ unions have seized control and sent in the socialists to take over classrooms. And parents are increasingly being told their voices aren’t needed — that when it comes to their own children, the School Boards know best. Brewer, for his part, fought back by opening his own Christian-based school for at-risk youth.
Former White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows says his ex-boss, President Donald J. Trump, may indeed run for another term -- but even if he doesn't, that he will be intricately involved in helping select and support the next commander-in-chief. This is good news for patriotic Americans; bad news for America-hating Democrats. The Democrat Party has been taken over by far-left socialists, communists, globalists and collectivists and their end game is to not only destroy America and the Constitution, but push out all things God and godly from the public square. Faith, in America, is a foundational principle, and the government will not stay limited in its reach if the citizenry isn't morally compassed from the Creator.
Today's Democrat Party is hardly the Democrat Party of John F. Kennedy days -- or even of Bill Clinton days, for that matter. At least those Democrat presidents didn't outright hate America and actively work to tear down the foundations of the nation. Today's Democrat Party is decidedly different -- decidedly more hostile to all that makes the country great. And as Victor Davis Hanson notes, today's anti-America forces aren't simply protesting outside the government buildings. They've infiltrated the systems and work within the systems they once protested, and that makes them all the more dangerous to America's constitution, to America's democratic-republic, and to liberty-loving American citizens.
The list of President Joe Biden's lies grows long -- so long, in fact, that even liberal-leaning press can't avoid covering them. PolitiFact, run by The Poynter Institute, was keeping a running tab on all of Biden's campaign lies. But then the organization stopped -- maybe because of cost overruns? It must be very expensive to hire enough people to cover all this administration's lies. USA Today, Yahoo! News -- these are just two other perhaps unexpected outlets that have covered Biden's ongoing fabrications. It's getting to the point it would be easier and quicker to print his truths. And here's the question: In a nation torn by political dissent and fiery cultural and governmental differences, how can a bridge be built between those who speak truth and those who chronically lie? That may be a question for the ages. But author, speaker and public figure Will Witt has some words of wisdom for influencing those of different political bent, and it includes tapping into tact and humor -- something this nation could very well use right now.
If America is to remain free, if America is to remain exceptional, then Americans must band together and pray for safety, security, liberty and the Constitution. It's in our national DNA. Founders, when confronted with difficult times during the constitutional convention, turned to prayer and petition in order to smooth discussions and open doors to collaboration and cooperation. And it worked. Dave Kubal, head of Intercessors for America, says the same can happen in today's strife-filled political environment -- if only more men and women of faith would plead America's cause to God.
For more than a year, Anthony Fauci has been the go-to guy for the government and media on all things coronavirus, and he's handled that role by recommending, advising, cautioning, chastising, warning, suggesting and hinting at all the dire things to come if we don't pay attention to his COVID-tied remarks. In other words: He's been the COVID Czar. At the same time, he acts like he doesn't have a thing to do with policy -- that he's all about the science, nothing about the politics. He's quite the deceiver. And guest Peter Navarro of former Donald Trump White House fame has much to say about the man -- including an explanation of why Fauci is "absolutely evil." Navarro's also got a new book coming out this November called "In Trump Time" that sheds even more light on the Fauci darkness.
Once again, the radicals on the left -- the talking tools of the Marxists -- are at it again, taking to task anyone and everyone in the world who won't bend to environmental regulation that restricts almost all human activity. This time, it's Greta Thunberg in Milan and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on CBS. When will these Green nuts quit? Likely: Never. Environmentalism is far too profitable for the left to just let it go. James Taylor, president of the free-market Heartland Institute, discusses.
It's one thing to be a police officer and face danger on the job. That's part and parcel of the mission. But imagine trying to go to the bathroom at work and facing a verbal assault just because someone doesn't like your politics? Welcome to the Democrat Party, circa 2021. By now, we've all seen the widely watched video of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, who was accosted by socialist thugs who followed her into the bathroom and scolded her for refusing to support the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. Now listen to this professor, Jason D. Hill, talk about how he faces intimidation and abuse for the campus "crime" of being a conservative.
The Joe Biden administration created a terrible mess in Afghanistan with a hasty, largely unstrategic, even cowardly withdrawal that left scores of Americans, American allies and Afghan innocents scrambling. Now this same administration is trying to pretend like everything went according to plan; that everything in the tribal nation is pretty much as it should be. The White House sounds like a spokesman for the Taliban. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Jonathon Myers talks about Afghanistan, as well as other U.S. national security matters.
This whole trend of woke corporatism is downright killing American freedoms because it puts the business sector in charge of policy, and sets the chief executives in charge of enforcing government will. And it's always the far left will that's being enforced. What's worse is the left is busily trying to deny that wokeness in the corporate world is even a thing. The left is trying to paint those who sound the alarm on wokeness as tin hat conspiracy theory stupid. Thank goodness there are solutions to fight the wokeness in the business world, however. Wayne Allyn Root, syndicated radio host and author, has a handle on how best to fight.
A new case the U.S. Supreme Court may take could have massive ramifications for the state of America's free speech, free expression and even free market. And with a president like Joe Biden who is busily pushing the idea that those who dare question the government and Big Pharma narrative on the coronavirus and COVID-19 vaccines are dangers to the nation -- killers of the innocent, even -- the idea of courts clamping First Amendment rights even more is frightening, to say the least. Institute for Justice's lead attorney Paul Sherman talks about this court case of crucial importance, which sees a private investigator fighting for his right to do business in the face of angry government officials who denied his license after he wrote critical comments on Facebook about local police.
A weatherman who worked for 33 years in his field was fired because he refused his company's mandate to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. This type of madness is happening everywhere, thanks to Joe Biden's presidential push to force every man, woman and youth in America to get vaccinated. And overseas, from London, liberties are facing similar assaults. Bruges Group director Robert Oulds discusses.
When Joe Biden dared to tell the American people he was growing impatient with those who've refused so far to get vaccinated -- that his "patience" was "wearing thin," to be precise -- the executive of the Texas Public Policy Foundation responded with this brief quip: "Pound sand," Mr. President. Pound sand. What an underused phrase for liberty-loving patriots to toss bureaucrats' way in these coronavirus clampdown times. If only more uttered it -- and backed it with steadfast resistance to all-things-unconstitutional -- perhaps America wouldn't be headed down the path of socialism-slash-communism. The only way to keep our God-given freedoms intact, is for those of godly character and God-based morals to insist the bureaucrats stay in their limits.
If America's youth are taught to hate America, then the fate of all of America is in peril. Why? It's the youth who will soon enough take over and run America's political system, America's businesses and economies, America's schools, American society. And if the leaders of America are nearly card-carrying socialists and communists, then so, too, will be the engines of America. Dr. Mary Grabar advises on the dangers and deceptions of the 1619 Project and how the left has been so adept at changing truths and factual histories to fit the far-leftist narrative.
Americans, under the coronavirus, have been all too willing to give up essential liberties in the name of safety and security. But here we are, fully a year-and-a-half into COVID-19 mitigation measures, and the health bureaucrats are telling us to beware yet another variant, another possible surge of sickness, another potential crisis -- and that we might all have to wear face masks, social distance and prepare to stay at home for weeks, nay, months, nay, years to come. When does it all end? With September 11 right around the corner, it seems timely to remind: the Patriot Act was never meant to completely stifle individual liberties, either. The Patriot Act was supposed to be about protecting individuals' safety, too. It's like Mark Meckler says: Government's good intentions often go awry.
The secular left is coming on strong, and "we have to reclaim America," says Mike Pompeo, former secretary of state under Donald Trump. And he's absolutely right. America is going Rome-like with its moral decay and spiraling into dark and difficult times. If you think that's hyperbole, ask yourself this pandemic-era question -- as Pompeo posed: Why would bars be open and churches be closed because of the coronavirus? The answer is simple: Because Americans allow it to happen. Because secularized Americans allowed it to happen. It's time for a faith-filled people to rise and reclaim the exceptionalism that is America.
It’s beginning to look a lot like a police state out there, and unless more Americans get in the game, the Democrat Party, along with their communist and collectivist friends in the media and in global government, will steal every ounce of liberty we have left. Florida representative and attorney Anthony Sabatini gives an update on how he’s fighting the coronavirus clampdowns, and motivates others outside his state to do the same. In the meanwhile, one mother in Illinois finds herself barred from visiting her 11-year-old son because an overreaching judge says she’s a danger — because she hasn’t been vaccinated against COVID-19. Perilous times.
As President Joe Biden makes excuses over his botched pull-out from Afghanistan, scores of Afghan women and girls tremble in their homes, awaiting bleak fates at the hands of radical Taliban members. Already, women have been killed and beaten for the crime of appearing in public without full-body cloth coverings. Already, schools are being closed to girls, jobs are being shut to women and females as young as age 14 are being targeted by Taliban men to take by force for marriage. Conservative analyst and radio host Jennifer Kerns discusses.
Have the COVID-19 vaccines actually been approved -- or not? Sen. Ron Johnson says the feds' paperwork on one hand seems to extend the emergency use authorization; but on the other, fully approves the vaccines. Which is it? And why the puzzler in the first place? If the health bureaucrats in government are really watching out for the citizens, there wouldn't be these questions about the approval process -- or about the thousands upon thousands who've died after taking the shot.
Americans need to launch a concerted attack against the leftists who've been busily corrupting the minds of youth by filling their heads with socialist and communist rot. The battle for the schools has reached epic proportions. And if you're not taking part, you're part of the problem. We cannot cede the battle for our children’s minds to the Marxists who want to abolish individualism in favor of collectivism. PragerU has some solutions to help parents, educators and those who care about our country fight off critical race theory and other unAmerican agendas in the schools.
Tomorrow's Americans are being unfairly saddled with the debts of today's irresponsible leaders. And the financial obligations this generation's taken on are unsustainable. The end result for America and for the Americans who must pay for this unbridled spending is financial slavery. At the rate today's government is now spending, each and every individual American will be on the hook for $855,000 in debt. That figure, sadly, is still rising. Just look at the coming climate change regulatory costs from this Joe Biden administration.
One of America's biggest puzzlers is why women continue to vote Democrat. If women truly care about the fate of America, about the future freedoms for their children, then today's modern Democrat Party is about the last place they should be -- right? Today's Democrats are essentially communists and as the Richard Nixon-Nikita Khrushchev "Kitchen Table" debates proved, capitalism, free markets and constitutional freedoms serve women best. Tune in to this conversation with Michelle Easton, author of "How to Raise a Conservative Daughter."
It's tyrannical times in America, that's for sure. Everywhere you look, individual rights are being usurped by Big Government, Bigger Government -- Socialist-Slash-Communist Government. And the Joe Biden White House shows no signs of slowing down. But freedom-loving Americans can still win this war. How? Here's a hint: Democrats and leftists always overplay their hand. So says "The Authoritarians" author and constitutional attorney Jonathan Emord.
If you want to learn how socialism sneaks into society and spreads its rot and plants the seeds of communism, tune in and listen up: America's in trouble. Our exceptional concept of rights coming from God, not government, is under attack. Guest Rebekah Koffler, whose family fled communism, says she's seeing signs of red here, on U.S. soil.
The family structure in America has fallen, and continues to fall fast. Why care? We must care. The foundation of society is family. That means as the family goes, so goes society -- so goes the country -- so goes America.
Look at the data, look at the CDC, look at the World Health Organization, look at Dr. Anthony Fauci, look at Nancy Pelosi -- and it's clear: one of these things is not like the other. Here's a clue: It's the data. The government's gone bonkers to justify shutdowns and clampdowns on individual liberties. But the numbers on the coronavirus do not in any way justify continued clampdowns.
Rep. Doug Collins peels back the cloak on Congress to reveal Deep State anti-Trump forces.
Contact tracing — what is it? The government says it’s nothing to worry about, nothing to fear. That’s a lie. Contact tracing, with technology, is one big government spy program — and it’s coming to a community near you. There are privacy problems. There are constitutional issues. And as technology security expert Quentin Rhoads-Herrera warns: there are questions about the potential for hackers and thieves to steal the data for nefarious uses.
Everything you wanted to know about transhumanism — and should fear. (w/ Dr. Ben Carson)

The former governor of Tennessee, Bill Haslam, says that without faith, America is doomed to acrimony. And it's true.
China's cultural takeover of America is hardly insignificant. Americans need to be alert to the signs.
Socialists don't like to admit their socialism. They call it something else, like opportunity, or social justice, or free, free, free. Mike Huckabee explains.
The evangelical, Bible-believing Promise Keepers is facing attack because of its planned event at the NFL stadium in Texas. CEO Ken Harrison explains.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that opens doors to lawsuits against social media companies that censor. Heartland's Samantha Fillmore details.
It's time to peel off the mask -- or, if you're a follower of Anthony Fauci, peel of the layers of masks -- and be an American once again.
President Joe Biden is certainly no President Donald Trump -- and nobody knows that better than the opportunistic terrorists in the Middle East.
Socialists -- card-carrying socialists -- have infiltrated America's public school systems and are actively training children to hate the nation.
If you think the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez types are going away any time soon, think again. The DSA is organizing, and on the march.
If you think these "woke" corporations are simply expressing grassroots' sentiments, think again. This is a top-down globalist mission bent on killing America's free market.
Nobody knows better than Sen. Josh Hawley how Big Tech tyrannizes conservatives: he wrote the book about it! And as he explains, the censorship is real and growing.
Unions in America have a long and glorious history with Marxism and socialism. And it's time for them to go.
Anthony Fauci has done more harm to American citizens and their rights in the last year than almost any other public figure. Guest Steve Deace says it's time for him to exit, stage left.
Don't let the Democrats fool you. Democrats are progressives are socialists are communists are Marxists are all bent on one thing, and one thing only: total top-down governance.
Don't let the historical revisionists tell you that since Founding Fathers owned slaves, America's inherently racist and America's government is inherently racist. Blacks in America enslaved blacks, too. And whites in America were slaves, too.
Do you understand the difference between moral and immoral money? Hint: It has nothing to do with stealing versus buying. Listen in and learn a little about Bitcoin in the process.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki may say the border is a challenge, not a crisis, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton disagrees. Vehemently.
Vaccine passports that allow government and private businesses to determine who gets to enter, who has to stay out, are ideas that better belong in communist and dictatorial countries. Dr. Kathy Koch discusses.
Where's VP Harris? She was supposed to be at the border, trying to discern the danger level of the situation and report back to the people. But she got tied up eating ham in her hometown, it seems.
Would you say America is more free or less free? On individual liberties, on God-given rights, the answer is less. What the country needs in part are more politicians like Winsome Sears, running for the lieutenant governor position in Virginia.
Radical environmentalism has become the left's favorite way of reshaping the entire economy, culture and political landscape -- and with this new batch of Democrats, it's coming on strong. Beware, America.
Steve Bannon, host of 'The War Room,' has a fascinating past that ranges from politics to entertainment to media -- but it's his faith in Jesus that never changes.
KT McFarland, deputy national security adviser to President Donald Trump, says she's known Joe Biden for a long time, and he's a "nice guy" but "weak." Still: America will emerge intact, she predicts.
Or is it? One side says yes, one side says no. Listen in and learn what Alveda King, niece of the "I Have a Dream" Martin Luther King, Jr., has to say about the issue.
COVID-19 lies and the liars who lie -- and yes, that means you, President Joe Biden. Joe Grogan, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, discusses the missed opportunity of Biden to unify.
Former Ronald Reagan adviser Donald Devine makes the case that capitalism is not only moral, but the way to save America from internal crumbling.
What makes someone stand strong on principle while someone else caves to societal pressure? John Schneider, actor, musician, philanthropist, of "Dukes of Hazzard" fame, talks about his new role as the dissenting justice in the upcoming "Roe v. Wade" film.
It's time for America's "knights" in shining armor to rise and fight, and according to author Don W. Long -- that's the biblical remnant, and they need to get more engaged.
TPUSA's Charlie Kirk says there are far too many "cowards" in the Christian community, and it's leading to the downfall of America and the stripping of individual liberties.
Too many of today's members of the media are in it to win it -- meaning, take down those of differing opinions. That's why conservatives are oh-so-often smeared. Surprise, surprise, it's going to take a momentous event to tame these wretched slanderers.
President Joe Biden is being heralded in the media as a devout Catholic, a true defender of the biblical way. But that's a lie. Just listen to his views of abortion and know: this guy's about as unbiblical as they come.
One of socialism's sneakiest ways of stealing into America is through the church. And sadly, it's taking place with alarming and increasing frequency. So says Lucas Miles, who just penned the new book: "The Christian Left."
If the Constitution is the standard, then civil asset forfeiture is a face-slap to all that freedom-cherishing Americans hold dear. The Institute for Justice just won a big case on this very issue.
President Joe Biden has said numerous times that he's engaged in a battle for America's soul. On that, he's right. The soul of America is in jeopardy. But Biden stands on the side of the enemy.
There's a new movie in town, it's directed by Hollywood's Nick Loeb and it's aimed at rooting out the "conspiracy" that brought America legalized abortion. Make way to be shocked by some uncomfortable truths.
Joe Biden rose to his presidential position of power on promises of unifying the country, Democrats and Republicans alike. Well, that's gone out the window. One executive order at a time.
Is America in a constitutional crisis? Yes. That's obvious. The Democrats have become little more than socialists -- Marxists, really. The big question now is: What to do? And conservative columnist Ken Blackwell says -- "The fight is on."
John Schnatter, the founder of Papa John's pizza, has some words of advice for small business owners struggling under COVID-19 clampdowns, and under the threat of a Joe Biden anti-small business regulatory environment, and they're words that go like this: "Never give up."
One of the markings of President Joe Biden's first 100 days in office will be porous borders. In fact, the "crisis," as one immigration expert termed it, is already here. And legal Americans really have little recourse, except maybe to prepare for the incursion.
Are we living in the final days of humanity? Is America -- is the world -- on the cusp of collapse? Biblically speaking, where are we on the Revelation scale? Christians have been watching the signs of end times for some time now. But if you don't know what to watch for, you won't want to miss today's episode and interview with noted Florida pastor, Carl Gallups.
