Rand Paul Is Right About the Debt

Written by Terence P. Jeffrey

“Let’s talk about the deficit.”

That is what U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor on Monday, June 2.

“For years, Republicans screamed about fiscal responsibility. But now Republicans are backing a bill that could add over $50 trillion to the national debt over 30 years,” Schumer claimed — without citing a source — in a speech about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“Senate Democrats,” he said, “will fight this bill in committee, on the floor, and in the court of public opinion every step, every day, and every possible way.”… Continue Reading

The ‘Gospel of Pride’ Is Not the Gospel of Christ

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

It’s June, and it’s that wonderful time of year when liberal pastors and priests across the country take to their pulpits to declare that conservative Christians, whether they be Catholic or charismatic, are bigots if we still believe that men engaging in sodomy are depraved or that women having sex with women are wrong. Yes, for the entire month, we will be harangued with messages from the church itself extolling the wonders of “same-sex love” and the virtues of 57 genders.… Continue Reading

Much of Wokeness Fueled by The Sexual Revolution

Written by Robert Knight

The flame of wokeness — intolerance in the name of tolerance — wasn’t lit recently. It has been smoldering under the flag of liberalism for the past 100 years or so.

“These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own,” G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1928. At the time, moral relativism was already making its long, slow march through the institutions that impart cultural values, including liberal church denominations.… Continue Reading

MSNBC & CNN Ratings Imploding, While Fox News Now Beats ABC in Prime Time

Written by Tim Graham

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air passed along some encouraging news today from the ratings, under the heading “Implosion: MSNBC Still Cratering With New Line-Up — And CNN’s Not Far Behind.”

Somehow, vigilantly anti-Trump programming isn’t a ratings dynamo in the second term.

Activists on the Left think the Democrats are worthless and weak, and apparently so are the Democrat-enabling TV networks. First, there’s Mediaite as MSNBC “lands with a thud.”

MSNBC’s new prime time lineup, which debuted on May 5th, failed to connect with viewers in its first three weeks as the network saw its audience decline to near record lows – especially in the key 25-54 age demographic.

Making Families Great Again

Written by Lisa Van Houten

Low birth rates will end civilization,” Elon Musk recently warned. The plummeting birthrate is a grave concern which both he and J.D. Vance have repeatedly raised and one that the Trump administration is now seeking to address.

America’s birthrate has plummeted below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman to its lowest point ever recorded – 1.6.  In 2023, the U.S. saw only 55 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44; for comparison in 1950 that rate was 106 births. … Continue Reading

Psychological Projection Playbook: How Elites Blame You For What They Do

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

A phrase often attributed to Saul Alinsky, author of “Rules for Radicals,” or to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi minister of propaganda, is “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt.” Although attribution for this quote may be spurious, it continues to resonate with millions for a reason.

Psychological projection is part of our common human experience.… Continue Reading

Remembering the Victims of Communism

Written by David E. Smith

What was the most evil regime of the 20th century? Many people instantly picture a crazed Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich rounding up millions of Jewish men, women and children in an attempt to systematically exterminate them. An estimated six million were murdered across German-occupied Europe. That’s truly evil. Yet, if we’re looking at death tallies, consider the human toll inflicted under Communism:

  • Sixty million dead in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.

Pride Month And The Fascism of Identity Politics

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In the 1970s, Ronald Reagan warned that “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” In the coming days, as Democrats once again spend an entire month celebrating their pride, recognize that what Reagan predicted has come to pass for about 50% of our country’s electorate.

Ideological fascism now rules the political left, and during the month of June, they will prove it once again by their incessant navel-gazing and adolescent demands.… Continue Reading

The Courts Side With Drag Queens Over Parents … Again

Written by Daniel Horowitz

To this day, courts insist you have no right to bodily autonomy when it comes to coerced vaccination and forced masking. They cite the “police powers” of the state as justification. But when the state uses those same powers to regulate public nudity or sexually explicit drag shows in front of children, suddenly the judiciary rediscovers the First Amendment.

In 2023, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 1438, a commonsense law that barred businesses from knowingly admitting children to “adult live performances.”… Continue Reading

Americans Are Getting Wise to the Left’s Chicanery

Written by Robert Knight

The only good thing to come out of COVID-19 is the public’s awakening to the fact that government officials will lie to us and the media will help them do it.

We might have suspected it, but it had never been so blatantly obvious, at least not since the Vietnam War or the vanishing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

If they lied to us six ways from Sunday about a pandemic and reasons to invade other countries, it’s a sure bet they have been lying to us about many other things.… Continue Reading
