Investigative journalist Alex Newman outlines how Venezuela has become a dangerous hub for a broader communist alliance threatening U.S. national security. He explains that Venezuela itself is weak militarily, but operates as a “tentacle of a massive beast” made up of communist regimes, drug cartels, Islamist terror networks, and globalist actors — all working together to undermine the United States.
Newman traces the origins of this movement to the 1990 São Paulo Forum, an alliance linking Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua, Venezuelan leadership, and Colombian narco-terrorists, all supported by Russia, China, and Iran.… Continue Reading
Thanks to cable news and the wall-to-wall coverage of national conventions, most Americans have at least a basic sense of what Democrats and Republicans claim to represent. Yes, there’s still plenty of confusion in our political discourse — but generally speaking, Democrats push for more government intervention to solve real or perceived problems, while Republicans emphasize free markets, limited government, and individual liberty.
In his book “What Americans Believe,” George Barna points out that 87% of non-Christians and 77% of self-described born-again believers agreed with the statement “People are basically good.” In other words, our culture, by and large, has discarded the idea of original sin.
The sophisticated among us roll our eyes at the concept of innate human corruption. We snicker at the notion that certain actions, thoughts and behaviors are still deemed to be sinful.… Continue Reading
Chicago is a city with a complicated legacy — a place that has inspired political machines, entrepreneurial innovation, faith-filled reform, and yes, devastating corruption. While many think of shady deals made in smoke-filled back rooms, the deeper and more troubling truth is that Chicago has a long history of collaboration between political figures and violent street gangs.
This is not conspiracy theory. It’s documented history.
Gangs as Political Machinery
Beginning in the 1960s, Chicago politicians recognized something that should have been obvious: gangs had numbers.… Continue Reading
Judging from my Twitter — I refuse to call it — feed, the talking points memo has gone out: the left must attack Riley Gaines Barker, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who is now a vocal advocate for protecting women’s sports from men males who think they’re somehow women. It’s no surprise to me that the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had to join in; hat tip to Carol Marks of The Victory Girls for pointing out this article.
When victims’ advocates push for mandatory minimum sentences, the leniency lobby instantly howls about “judicial discretion.” In theory, that’s right: In a just society, judges should have the freedom to weigh every case, tailoring sentences to fit the crimes.
But America doesn’t live in that society. We live in an era when violent crime floods major cities and leftist judges treat predators like misunderstood poets. In this environment, mandatory minimums aren’t cruel — they’re the only remaining safeguard for victims and the public.… Continue Reading
Illinois billionaire Governor JB Pritzker appeared on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier on Thursday, where he blasted the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement in Chicago while downplaying the city’s spiraling crime problem. The two-term Democratic governor also dodged questions about his presidential ambitions, took shots at Trump’s tariff policies, and doubled down on his paranoid claim that U.S. troops could be used to “steal” the next election.… Continue Reading
Last weekend, Leftists gathered in cities across the country for coordinated “No Kings” rallies — events ostensibly organized to complain, scream and whimper that Donald J. Trump is acting like a monarch. In reality, these unsubstantiated attacks on Trump’s leadership mask a much deeper and more troubling agenda. One in which central government would expand dramatically.
A closer look at the sponsors and partners behind the marches reveals a powerful coalition of radical and socialist groups working to reshape America’s political foundation.… Continue Reading
The growing political violence in the U.S. is a serious concern that threatens both the stability of our republic and the safety of its citizens. What we’re witnessing today is not merely partisan animosity, but open hostility — a clear sign of our culture’s moral and spiritual decline, which undermines the very foundation of a civilized society.
Just look at the violent mobs that recently targeted ICE offices and federal agents — torching vehicles, smashing windows, and assaulting officers who enforce our nation’s immigration laws.… Continue Reading
