It’s always been true—pride comes before the fall. This summer, companies proved it like never before. The people spoke, voted with their dollars, and chose family values over corporate America’s virtue signaling. We witnessed companies that went “woke”—from Target to Anheuser-Busch—instantly regretting the backlash they caused and taking backward steps. People are tired of the nonsense, especially when marketing departments promote things like gender ideology that actively targets our children. Let’s review the corporate wokeness we’ve seen in recent months, and what happened next.… Continue Reading

I caught the Republican debate on Wednesday. By the time you read this, it will have been analyzed to death. But here’s my take.
Some did better than others (Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, and former Gov. Nikki Haley). Vivek Ramaswamy stole the show with his outsider pizazz and snappy answers. A little too snappy perhaps, such as his below-the-belt crack that he was the only candidate not “bought and paid for.”… Continue Reading

According to The Atlantic, over the past 25 years, 40 million Americans have stopped attending church.
Professor Ryan Burge of Eastern Illinois University states that 45% of members of Generation Z (persons born in the 1990s or later) have no religious affiliation. On the basis of this fact and of other data, Professor Burge asserts that nearly one-third of America’s 350,000 churches are “‘on the brink of extinction’” and that thousands of churches will close in the next few decades.… Continue Reading

In the words of sudden country music sensation Oliver Anthony, “You weren’t born to just pay bills and die.” Yet unless we stop the debt-driven inflation and the Federal Reserve scam used to perpetuate it, we won’t even be able to pay all the bills we work our entire lives to afford.
Inflation is back with a vengeance, despite the quickest rise in interest rates ever and despite the choking off of the M2 money supply.

“What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart,” Jesus told his disciples.
Yes, a few words can reveal all you need to know about someone’s character or motives.
A case in point is Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. In a column on Wednesday for The Wall Street Journal, she told at least two easily rebutted whoppers.
Here’s the first: “With the Inflation Reduction Act, we are delivering on what I call ‘modern supply-side economics,’” she wrote.… Continue Reading

No one in the media elites today is alarmed at a revolving door between the “objective media” and partisan politics. Politics seems more like a qualification than a disqualification.
NBC News announced on air that legal correspondent Laura Jarrett was going to be a co-host of their Saturday “Today” news program. She’s the daughter of Valerie Jarrett, the closest White House aide to Barack and Michelle Obama, and who is now a senior adviser to the Obama Foundation.… Continue Reading

Last Friday afternoon, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he had named Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to continue the investigation into Hunter Biden “as well as any matters that arose from that investigation or may arise from the Special Counsel’s investigation.” This appointment has been criticized as illegal by many, including liberal Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz.
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley is also on record in a column for The Hill pointing out significant problems with the appointment:
This is, after all, the same Weiss who headed an investigation that was trashed by whistleblowers, who alleged that his investigation had been fixed from the outset.

We’ve all heard the story of “the boy who cried wolf,” but perhaps the modern version should be about “the organization that cried hater.”
The far left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has forged a reputation as a nationally outspoken advocate against “hate groups.” Founded in 1971 and based in Montgomery, Alabama, the SPLC is no stranger to controversy. The group has long been accused of targeting conservative and Christian organizations.… Continue Reading

Off the main roads, where all you see are cornfields, farms, cows, horses and an occasional buggy, it’s easy to forget the predatory culture that has eclipsed normal American life in most other places.
A peaceful spirit animates the countryside inhabited by the Amish, a growing sect in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and more than two dozen other states.
“English” visitors, which is what the Amish call everyone else, seem to sense that they should behave better.… Continue Reading

Though I don’t think it’s a particularly wise or self-aware accusation for them to make, the progressive left continues to make political hay out of smearing conservatives as “anti-science.” Most people who are not fervent congregants of the church of progressivism, and who have been conscious over the last several years, probably can’t help but roll their eyes at the insult.
After all, this is a movement that denies the humanity of human babies in the womb.… Continue Reading
