ICC, Iran, take note: Those who curse Israel will be cursed

The International Criminal Court signed arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas for atrocities against the Jewish people, and then, in what should be seen as a sick joke but is not, issued the same for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant. Take a warning, ICC.

Fake eyelashes, fake outrage: Democrats need to man up

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is fielding fire because she snarked at a fellow House member, namely, Democrat Jasmine Crockett, that her "fake eyelashes" were quite possibly preventing her from seeing clearly. But Greene didn't throw the first dart. Crockett did.

Liar, liar, Michael Cohen’s pants on fire

We can't have a country where politically ambitious scum buckets like Michael Cohen who register zero on the morality Richter scale are able to drag people they detest into court and run sham trials aimed at cowing them into silence and destroying their lives, and the lives of their families. That's what communist countries do.

WHO pandemic treaty utterly unacceptable for America

The World Health Organization is finalizing with its partner states the details of a pandemic treaty that is supposed to protect the citizens of the globe from future COVID-like devastations. America's only suitable response is to tell the WHO to take a hike.

Bold & Blunt: How to share God without seeming a nut

One of a Christian's biggest fears is sharing the gospel with others. Willie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame has a new book, "Gospeler," that teaches how to share the good news with others, without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable.

WATCH: Joe Biden bungling Israel

President Joe Biden is proving himself to be no friend to Israel, and that is leaving the Jewish people in a state of peril.

Biden and Netanyahu spoke Monday, May 6, 2024, a White House official and National Security Council spokesperson said, as Israel appeared closer to launching an offensive on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Biden’s turn from Israel crashing world into chaos

Israel is still trying to kill an enemy that is determined to wipe its people off the face of the map. And Joe Biden, and the global governments, and the politicians of the West are trying to tell Israel to stand down, strike a deal with the terrorists and learn to live peacefully side by side with them. Love it or lump it.

Stormy Daniels testifies in Manhattan criminal court, Tuesday, May 7, 2024, in New York, about the encounter in former President Donald Trump's hotel penthouse, showing how she found Trump in his bedroom lying on his bed. (Elizabeth Williams via AP)

Stormy Daniels a steamy ‘wag the dog’ distraction from Biden’s failures

Stormy Daniels gave steamy testimony during the trial of Donald Trump, and while it did little to dent the fact the former president simply paid legal fees -- and by law, that's not hush money -- fact is, the ex-porn star provided a valuable service to Democrats: She turned attention from Joe Biden's many, many failures.

Democrats cleaning House with Republican saps

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who also heads up the Democratic Caucus, bragged to CBS that his party may not hold the official positions of leadership in the House -- but that it doesn't really matter. "We effectively have been governing," he said, "as if we were in the majority." Cue flaming fire emojis.

Biden’s biggest donors? The ones funding anti-Israel protests

Some of the biggest donors to Joe Biden's presidential campaign are one and the same as those funding the anti-Israel demonstrations on America's college campuses. Politico, which reported on the matter, calls that "surprising." Most everyone else calls that "no duh."

South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem attends an event on Jan. 10, 2024, at the state Capitol in Pierre, S.D. The Guardian has obtained a copy of Noem's soon-to-be-released book, where she writes about killing an unruly dog, and a smelly goat, too. She writes, according to the Guardian, that the tale was included to show her willingness to do anything "difficult, messy and ugly." (AP Photo/Jack Dura)

Kristi Noem shot a dog. Democrats kill babies.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem shot a dangerous dog. Democrats demand the right for women to abort their babies whenever they want, however many times they want, for whatever reason they want. These two things, while both resulting in deaths, are not mutually comparable.

Illegals are totally destroying America’s health system

With Joe Biden as president, and open borders as his policy, what's happening in Florida, what's predicted in California, is spreading quickly to all states. And more than the immediate financial burden to citizens, it's the mainstreaming of the idea of giving health care to illegals that's the bigger problem.

Judge Merchan — fine this!

Oh please, please, pretty please -- pleeeaase, Judge Merchan, throw Trump in jail. We can't wait for the t-shirts and coffee cups -- and ballots.
