Biden is a dangerous leader for the times

Israelis were getting bombed -- President Biden was barbecuing -- and influential members serving this administration were busily helping spy for Iran. Any questions?

Bold & Blunt: Big Pharma’s vested interest in keeping Americans sick

It's cynical but true: Speaking purely of dollars and cents, the medical community, Big Pharma and their partners in government have a financial interest in ensuring that Americans stay sick -- or at the least, reliant on pills and prescriptions to stay halfway healthy.

Hillary Clinton’s hubris all too common in today’s wicked politics

Hillary Clinton, who failed in her White House run against Donald Trump, took to CNN "Primetime" to say that the MAGA types of America are little more than "cult members" who need a "formal deprogramming." If a haughty spirit goes before a fall, then certainly hubris such as this won't be well-received by God.

Pope Francis, ever political, scorches America for ‘irresponsible’ excess

Pope Francis kicked off a weekslong gathering in Rome aimed at charting the future course of the Catholic Church by denouncing America for an "irresponsible" lifestyle that is contributing to the climate change-tied demise of the world. Communists must love this guy. And the feeling may flow both ways.

Kevin McCarthy’s fatal flaw in politics: He turned to Democrats

Kevin McCarthy, ousted speaker of the House, blamed Democrats for his removal and said Nancy Pelosi didn't honor a commitment to back him. What's that, Lassie? The Democrats acted deceitfully? And that right there is the reason McCarthy is ousted -- and rightly deserves to be ousted.

Bold & Blunt: Big Business caught stealing away gun rights

Sen. Ted Cruz and his staff recently discovered Intuit, a financial services provider in Texas, was refusing to provide certain accounting services to manufacturers and sellers of firearms -- and of even businesses that make the parts that go into the building of firearms. Talk about the weaponization of the free market.

Trump one handcuff photo away from historic MAGA wins

Donald Trump sat next to his attorney as cameras captured both the stony stares of the politically charged globalist-funded attorney general who's prosecuting the former president, and the smiley-faced primping of the judge as he posed for the pictures. That's not just biased and unprofessional. That's a circus act.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman should be expelled because you and I would be arrested

Rep. Jamaal Bowman is under investigation for pulling a fire alarm as his fellow Democrats were desperately trying to delay a vote -- an action that resulted in the full-scale response of law enforcement and the clearing of the federal building. He says he was just trying to open a door. He's obviously lying.

President Joe Biden speaks during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, April 29, 2023.Democrats were already concerned about President Joe Biden's age, his leadership on the economy and his stalled agenda in Congress.

God establishes equity, not Democrats

Leftists love to talk about the need for equity in America, equity in business; they love to talk up the need for diversity, equity and inclusion standards to be created by government.They see it as a morally righteous imperative. But equity is actually the domain of God.

Bold & Blunt: The dangerous Democrat quest to erase Donald Trump

Righteously indignant Democrats are on a war path to eradicate Donald Trump from American politics. And their latest attempt is to take to the courts to use the 14th Amendment to claim he incited an insurrection and should not be allowed on the ballots. Perilous times, America. Perilous times.

Democrats weaponize Constitution to destroy Trump

Democrats want to slap gag orders on Donald Trump so that while campaigning for president, he doesn't make any statements that might, well, truthfully speaking, show his innocence. Nothing like an innocent defendant to muck up a good politically weaponized attack.

California Democrats ratchet assaults on gun rights

California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a handful of new gun control measures, including one that makes life harder for concealed carriers and another that adds taxes to the price of firearms and ammunition. Yeah. That oughta keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.

Bold & Blunt: Climate alarmism’s Marxist depopulation designs

Democrats have for years been on a warpath to control populations based on cries about carbon dioxide emissions and the need to save the planet from environmental degradation. But are you aware of the genesis of this entire radical environmentalist movement? Hint: Think World War Two.

Democrats once again fail to understand Trump

MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough -- who used to be a Republican, remember -- snarked at a new Washington Post poll showing Donald Trump would handily beat Joe Biden for president, and said when he heard the news he "literally started laughing out loud." He shouldn't laugh.

Democrats dropping religion like dead flies

Godless Democrats -- it's not just the imagination. They really are losing their religion. No wonder they're always advocating for big, bigger, biggest government. It's all they have.

In this Monday, June 1, 2020 file photo, President Donald Trump holds a Bible as he visits outside St. John's Church across Lafayette Park from the White House. Only a few legacy-defining moments have clung to Trump. But the forceful clearing of demonstrators from the park across from the White House has resonated like few others, sending Trump’s poll numbers tumbling and prompting top military leaders and usually lockstep Republicans to distance themselves from the president.

Christian nationalists to the rescue! America needs godly patriots

Leftists over the last few years have corrupted the term "Christian nationalist" to make it seem a negative -- a term to describe racists, misogynists, intolerants and haters. But it's really the foundation of American exceptionalism. What America needs are more Christian nationalists, not fewer.
