Bold & Blunt video: Live from Israel — a talk on the lying media

Bold & Blunt: Abortion declines, no thanks to Democrats

Hamas founder’s son more honest than White House, media

Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of a founder of Hamas, and he told a Fox News audience that in a matchup between Hamas and ISIS to determine which is more dangerous -- it's the former, by a long shot. This, as Joe Biden strolls gently along beachy shores with his wife, Jill.

Orlando shame, as boy, 11, parades in princess gown for LGBTQ crowd

An 11-year-old boy pretending to be a girl -- because his parents pushed him to believe that -- donned a flowery gown and served as the grand marshal of Orlando's "pride parade" to the cheers of thousands.

Bold & Blunt: America’s clashing culture wars

If you want to understand why Americans have lost liberties in recent times, look to the churches. As morals decline, government power rises. That's because a society without virtuous people is a society that demands, nay, requires Big Government to control behaviors.

Border madness and the Democrats who foster it

Texas is taking the lone star step of adding a border wall between its own state and that of New Mexico's. Why? So many migrants are using New Mexico as a path to jump through to Texas and then parts unknown that Republican leaders say they have no choice. This is a crisis of the Democrats' making.

Biden’s revealing downplay of Hamas’ terror

The U.S. State Department lists Hamas as a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Americans for sale, a billion dollars plus change per head

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a presser on Sunday that so far, zero Americans captured by Hamas terrorists and dragged into Gaza have managed to escape -- or have been released.

Dylan Mulvaney is a man, and no ‘Woman of the Year’ award changes that

Dylan Mulvaney is a male who pretends to be a female and who was just awarded "Woman of the Year" by Virgin Atlantic Attitude in the United Kingdom. That is a truth. He was given that award. Another truth? Dylan Mulvaney will always be a man, no matter how many awards he wins for womanhood.

Bold & Blunt: Government’s January 6 lies

The media would have it believed that January 6 was a violent insurrection of MAGA supporters who wanted to tear down the halls of Congress, beat up the Democrats and viciously assault and attack and injure, even kill, any police officer who dared stand in their way. But that's the lie. And it's just one of many.

Antisemitism at United Nations and beyond

Earlier this week, the United Nations Human Rights Council held a moment of silence to recognize the loss of life in Israel at the hands of terrorist Hamas -- oops, nope. No, it didn't.

Biden goes dark amid death, mayhem, war and doom

President Biden, in the wake of learning that nine Americans were among those killed by Hamas terrorists attacking Israel over the weekend, said -- nothing.
