A Not-So-Special Report with Governor Pritzker

Written by David E. Smith

Excuses, Deflection, and Denial

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

The Left-Wing Coalition Behind the “No Kings” Protests

Written by David E. Smith

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

When Love Grows Cold: The Rise of Political Violence

Written by David E. Smith

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

Unelected Judges Trying to Diminish Trump’s Executive Weight

Written by Robert Knight

President Donald Trump is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice John Roberts and some of the federal judiciary.

Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.

Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.

Mr. Trump says that this is nonsense, that these judges have gone well beyond their authority to hear cases and are trying to dictate national policy.… Continue Reading

Musk’s Money Sleuths Making Democrats Sweat

Written by Robert Knight 

Imagine working at a large company like Exxon Mobil and being told that an audit was underway. Managers would be busy justifying spending and personnel and how they were enabling the company to prosper.

If the auditor found that someone had deliberately hidden or misclassified expenditures for personal gain or ideological reasons, company lawyers would not call it merely “waste” or “mismanagement.”

They would call it “theft” or perhaps “embezzlement,” and they would call the authorities.… Continue Reading

Questions for Bishop Budde and the Church of Never Trump

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s scolding of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.

Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.

The Free Methodist Church Board of Bishops issued an emergency statement echoing the words of Bishop Budde and expressing “deep concern for the very real pain” that members of their community are experiencing.… Continue Reading

A Postmortem on the Biden Administration

Written by Peter Heck

It’s over. Thank God that is the case, even if he doesn’t know it…

After four of the most predictably bizarre years in the history of the American republic, [we mark] the end of the Joe Biden interlude. I use that term only because I think it’s fair to say that despite all the rhetoric and pretense, all the bombast of a “return to normalcy” that surrounded his campaign and election, the presidency itself was aimless and directionless, amounting to little more than an often-humiliating display of vengeful incompetence.… Continue Reading

Trump’s Return Signals End to Biden Regime’s Train Wreck

Written by Robert Knight

President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration’s train wreck.

Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.… Continue Reading

Corrupt Presidential Medals and Our Culture

Written by Peter Heck

As the presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden mercifully comes to an end, Americans are being forced to endure the final death throes of a cripplingly lost four years. Four years that saw promises of unification and healing turn into petty political vendettas and demonizing divisiveness.

So perhaps no one should be surprised by the midnight acts of adulation that the addled mind of President Biden is now bestowing upon some of the more contemptible figures and polarizing malefactors in our politically fatigued country.… Continue Reading
