America — Israel — the world — needs Donald Trump

As a stark reminder of the difference between Donald Trump's White House and Joe Biden's administration, Mike Pompeo, said that under the former MAGA leader "the Iranian regime was afraid" and "the people of Israel were strong and secure" -- while under this present presidency, it's been the opposite.

American Exceptionalism on the ballot

Republicans are pushing for a future of freedom. Democrats are harping on historical offenses -- taken largely out of context; spun for the greatest advantage -- so as to divide the nation and conquer the citizens and rule, rule, rule rather than serve with humility and truth.

Secret Service failures due to Democrats’ acceptance of low standards

Democrats will carry and cover for their incompetents, so long as their incompetents can be used and exploited to advance their agendas. For them, it's not about the American people; it's about political wins.

Border, safety, law, order — the bread and butter of Trump 2024

Day Two of the Republican convention is branded as a "Make America Safe Again" theme, and against a backdrop of an assassination attempt against Donald Trump, along with three-plus years of record-level flows of illegals across the border -- thanks, Joe Biden -- there's no better message the GOP can bring.

Ding, dong the Dems’ Jack Smith debacle is dead

A federal judge dismissed the classified documents' case against Donald Trump, calling special counsel Jack Smith's appointment unconstitutional. For Trump, who just dodged bullets of death aimed at his head by a would-be assassin, the resurrections just keep on coming.

Trump’s finest moment: ‘Fight, fight, fight’

If stress reveals the true nature of an individual, Donald Trump is the unrivaled leader of the free world. With bullets flying, and security detail rushing, a bloodied Trump ultimately rose from an assassination attempt to raise a clenched fist in the air and mouth, to a shocked crowd, "fight, fight, fight."

Biden’s Ukraine President Putin problem is America’s media problem

Ron Klain, former White House chief of staff, said of his ex-boss, Joe Biden, that the president will have a "better second debate" against Donald Trump. And all the watching world goes: Wait -- what? Biden's going to have a second debate? Well, as the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Bold & Blunt: Furious Democrats target SCOTUS for take-down

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 never can just accept defeat graciously.

Bold & Blunt: Ethical journalism? States propose tax dollars for media

It would be a mistake for Americans to allow state tax dollars to go toward propping up local media outlets. It's not government's job to pay journalists' salaries. Yet some states are budgeting toward this as we speak.

God help America: Biden demands 8 o’clock bedtime

In a recent speech to Democrat governors reported by The New York Times, President Joe Biden said he needs to stop doing stuff after 8 p.m. because he has to get to bed earlier. Talk about a tip-off to the enemy. What a gift.

China tightens locks on world’s rare earth metals — and noose on America’s neck

The Chinese Communist Party put out a statement that makes clear any and all natural resources, including rare earth metals, are CCP properties and that beginning Oct. 1, the state will track, surveil and record into a database all extraction, all imports and all usage of these resources. Happy Independence Day, America.

Bold & Blunt: Church ‘nones’ are killing America

If Americans don't return to church, American freedoms won't last much longer.

AOC keys up next theatrical performance

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court's granting of partial immunity to Donald Trump with a vow to file articles of impeachment against the justices. Or one of the justices. Or somebody. Every time Ocasio-Cortez squawks, America gets just a little bit dumber. At least, the American left does.

Biden is brain-dead. Democrats call that ‘framing & lighting’

As post-debate shockwaves continue to strike Democrat Party and donor circles, calls grow for the ailing, flailing, failing Joe Biden to step aside -- but he does still have some defenders. One, for example, suggests he was the victim of poor camera angles, and that's why he performed like an Alzheimer patient.

SCOTUS, in Chevron, squashes Obama-like ‘pen’ and ‘phone’ presidencies

SCOTUS overturned a 40-year-old decision that had given federal agencies, and the presidents who led them, the power to exert oft-burdensome, costly controls on supposedly free American citizens, and that simultaneously tied the hands of courts to right these regulatory wrongs. Power back to the people.

Joe Biden performed as expected

President Joe Biden stumbled, bumbled, muttered and meandered during his debate against Donald Trump. And all the headlines go: Shocking! Shocker! What a shocking display! But why? Biden performed on stage as he always performs on stage -- one step shy of falling off the ledge.

Bold & Blunt: Youthful embrace of Hamas over Israel

The numbers of youth in America who are supporting Hamas over Israel are shocking, disturbing and dark.

Biden’s America continues descent into socialism

Seventy-four percent of registered voters who favor Joe Biden for president want government to grow bigger because they believe it's the government's job to provide more and more -- and ever more -- services. By contrast, only 19 percent of Donald Trump's base of support says similarly. I

ISIS is in America because of Biden

President Biden has been lumbering about the White House for three-plus years, paying lip service to the need to control the border while all along opening doors wide for whomever, from wherever, with a mission of whatever, to cross and disappear. No wonder ISIS is taking advantage.
