Christmas Gives Us Something To Believe In

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In 1990, the rock band Poison released one of its signature songs, “Something to Believe In.” The song was a call for something positive, something of substance.

In desperation and sorrow, the band called out for something to believe in. Throughout America and beyond, it became an anthem sung by hundreds of thousands of fans who were frustrated with reality as they saw it. The song resonated with many in the early 1990s as it spoke of the tangible emptiness of a life devoid of purpose.… Continue Reading

Shocker! PolitiFact Tags Trump For ‘Lie of the Year’ For the 7th Time

Written by Tim Graham

Don’t call PolitiFact an “independent fact-checker.” When they assemble to select their “Lie of the Year,” they have singled out Donald Trump in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021. No Democrat has been tagged with this dishonor since Trump arrived on the scene.

It was Trump again this year, as PolitiFact tweeted: “A lie marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd. It was consequential.… Continue Reading

Riley Gaines Responds (Again) to NCAA’s Transgender Foolishness

Written by David E. Smith

Former competitive swimmer turned political activist Riley Gaines has gained significant public attention for her outspoken advocacy for common sense in women’s sports. Specifically, she became an activist for preserving women’s sports for biological females only. She argues that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports can lead to unfair advantages due to physical differences that persist even after hormone therapy.

But even more troubling, and a focal point of her concerns, is the issue of privacy and safety.… Continue Reading

Vaccine Questions Shouldn’t Be Verboten

Written by Victor Joecks

In the Harry Potter series, the villain Lord Voldemort is known as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.” There’s a similar sentiment whenever someone expresses a heterodox opinion on vaccines.

The long knives are already out for Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While there are valid concerns among pro-life activists, the most prominent objection is Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) labeled Kennedy a “denier of science.” Kennedy has pushed “the scientifically discredited belief that childhood vaccines cause autism,” The New York Times wrote.… Continue Reading

Let ‘Sanctuary’ Cities Keep Millions of Illegal Aliens, Without Federal Funding

Written by Robert Knight

The Democrats’ “resistance” to the incoming Trump administration and Republican-led Congress is quickly taking shape.

The usual left-wing media smear machine is in full gear, taking aim at several of Mr. Trump’s nominees.

But the most interesting action is in California, where Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state’s would-be savior, is acting as if a foreign power will soon occupy America.

A couple of weeks ago, he called a special session to ask the Democratic-dominated Legislature for $25 million to create a fund for lawsuits against Mr.… Continue Reading

Trump Must Shut Down Biden’s Refugee Disaster on Day 1

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Who is the victim and who is the aggressor in a conflict between Bashar al-Assad’s Alawites and Sunni “rebel” terrorists in Syria? What happens when ISIS clashes with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, other al-Qaeda factions, Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army fighters, and pockets of Hezbollah militias thrown into the mix?

Under Joe Biden’s insane refugee policies, both sides can claim credible fears of religious or ethnic persecution from their rivals. As a result, we’ve allowed individuals from all these warring groups into our country to live as our neighbors.… Continue Reading

Pretending There’s No Cost in Biden’s Mass Importation

Written by Tim Graham

The Trump-loathing media hates the notion of mass deportations. They are upset that voters support it. After the election, a CBS News poll found 57% of Americans are ready to put the brakes on illegal immigration.

On Dec. 8, ABC “This Week” moderator Martha Raddatz pressed conservative U.S. Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) on the cost:

“A recent analysis found it would cost about $315 billion and take at least 10 years to deport everyone in the U.S.

Transgender Delusion Needs to End

Written by Robert Knight

About half of America’s 50 states seem to care more about children’s well-being than about being sufficiently “woke.”

That’s why they don’t embrace gender insanity and instead ban puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and irreversible surgery for minors.

The U.S. Supreme Court this past week heard arguments on Tennessee’s law barring trans treatments for minors.

Some justices blew wide holes in the case for creating trans kids. But it’s by no means a lock that this allegedly conservative court will restore sanity on this issue.… Continue Reading

Supreme Humiliation: Justices Brown-Jackson & Sotomayor Disgrace the Court

Written by Peter Heck

I know it sounds crazy to say in our modern era, but the federal judiciary was little more than an afterthought to the Founding Fathers who designed our constitutional system.

Thomas Jefferson, the same guy who penned a fairly scorching list of grievances against unaccountable, tyrannical government, entitled the Declaration of Independence, called the federal judiciary the “least dangerous” branch.

Well, Thomas Jefferson never met Ketanji Brown Jackson or Sonia Sotomayor.

I’m assured that if he had, the third president might rethink his comfort level with unelected, black-robed lawyers, being able to operate as an oligarchy, legislating, vetoing, and dictating from the bench.… Continue Reading

Trump’s Border Strategy Exposes Myths About Posse Comitatus

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Our military was not built for urban renewal projects in Kabul or to referee Sunni versus Shia conflicts in Baghdad. Its primary purpose is to protect our country from foreign invaders. If the military cannot be deployed to address the millions of people strategically funneled into the country by ruthless drug cartels — cartels that are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans with fentanyl — then what purpose does it serve? The fact that these individuals do not remain near the border does not transform mass removals into a domestic law enforcement issue; it remains a matter of national defense.… Continue Reading
