The False Gospel According to James Talarico

Written by Dr. Everette Piper

James Talarico is 36 years old. He now serves in the Texas House of Representatives. Last week, he defeated U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for a seat in the U.S. Senate.

If Mr. Talarico wins in the November general election, here is a prediction you can take to the bank: In 2028, this freshly minted senator will be a featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention, and just a handful of months thereafter, he will announce his candidacy for the presidency of the United States.… Continue Reading

Twisting Scripture to Fit Progressive Politics

Written by David E. Smith

Texas State Representative James Talarico has emerged as an apostate “Christian” whose progressive ideology runs contrary to two thousand years of orthodox Christian teaching. Unsuprisingly, he has become something of a media darling on the Left, promoted as a thoughtful Christian voice who can reconcile progressive politics through a reinterpretation of Scripture.

Talarico, who recently won the Texas Senate Democratic nomination, describes himself as a “secularist seminarian.” He has gained attention for using biblical language and religious imagery to defend a host of progressive political causes, including abortion and transgender ideology.… Continue Reading

The U.S. House Blocks Release of Sexual Misconduct Records

Written by David E. Smith

Congress Chooses Secrecy Over Transparency

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 357–65 to block a resolution that would have forced the public release of sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members of Congress. The proposal, introduced by U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), was instead referred back to the U.S. House Ethics Committee, effectively preventing the disclosures from becoming public.

Officials of the bipartisan Committee on Ethics, including U.S.… Continue Reading

Public Health and Private Idolatry: A Troubling Nomination

Written by Peter Heck

Casey Means‘ nomination to serve as U.S. Surgeon General is moving forward again.

That alone might not raise alarms. Presidents nominate allies all the time and political skirmishes over health policy are nothing new. But this nomination is different – not because of partisan alignment, dietary views, or vaccine debates. Because of spiritual foundations.

When I first began examining her public statements, I honestly assumed critics were exaggerating. They weren’t.

In her own newsletters and interviews, Means describes praying to photographs of her ancestors and asking them for support.… Continue Reading

The Left’s War on Words — and Why It Matters

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Science fiction author Philip K. Dick once said, “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”

Of all the strategies presently used by Democrats and their puppets in the establishment media, the bastardization of words is perhaps the most pernicious.

Take, for example, the words green and gay, change and choice, male and female, moral and immoral, justice and injustice, compassion, care and tolerance.… Continue Reading

Paying the Price – Senator Neil Anderson

Written by Rev. Calvin Lindstrom

When State Senator Neil Anderson, a Republican from Andalusia representing Illinois’ 47th Senate District, introduced Senate Bill 3572 on February 5, 2026, knowing very well that he was introducing legislation that would cause a firestorm of controversy and that very likely he would have to pay a political price.

A synopsis of SB 3572:

Erasing the Pledge, Rewriting the Culture

Written by Robert Knight

A city board in northwestern Virginia voted Tuesday to remove the Pledge of Allegiance as the opener for its meetings.

One of the Winchester Planning Commission’s liberal female members blew off the tradition as “pageantry,” and another called it “unnecessary.” Without discussion, they voted 4-2 to toss the Pledge into the hopper.

This is in line with what Democrats are doing to Virginia now that they have taken total control in Richmond.… Continue Reading

Jim Crow or Common Sense? The Media’s War on Voter ID

Written by Tim Graham

The people who call themselves the “mainstream media” have a remarkable tendency to take the minority position on an 80-20 issue, most recently on requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. U.S. House Republicans have passed the SAVE Act, while Democrats have almost unanimously opposed it.

But the American people do not. Gallup pollsters report 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats.… Continue Reading

JB Pritzker, ICE, and the Art of Selective Outrage

Written by Thomas Hampson

Governor JB Pritzker delivered his eighth consecutive budget address on February 18th. If you closed your eyes and listened, you might have thought you were hearing a man of the people, a defender of the powerless standing up to a tyrannical federal government. He invoked Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Reverend Jesse Jackson. He quoted the great reform governor, John Peter Altgeld.

He spoke of empathy, love, and the courage to resist authoritarianism.… Continue Reading
