Should we allow people in the United States to say hateful things? Absolutely — that is the essence of America. We cannot start down the slippery slope of punishing people for their beliefs, as we saw under the Biden administration with the treatment of January 6 defendants.
Does that mean we should admit foreigners who hold pro-terrorist beliefs and spread them on social media? Absolutely not! Freedom of speech is a right, but no foreigner has an affirmative right to immigrate.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on A ‘Free Speech’ Right to Immigrate? Don’t Be Absurd!
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

Comments Off on Questions for Bishop Budde and the Church of Never Trump
Written by David E. Smith
In a Jan. 26 interview on CBS “Face the Nation,” left-wing program host Margaret Brennan asks Vice President JD Vance, “Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?”
The Vice President quickly points out that protecting America and Americans, including migrants here legally, is the Trump Administration number one priority. And when Brennan highlighted the concerns of the U.S.… Continue Reading

Do we, as a society, hold the inviolable right to control our sovereignty and, through our elected representatives, prevent individuals from asserting immigration and citizenship rights against our will? Or do foreign nationals and governments possess the authority to assert jurisdiction in our country, obtaining citizenship and its accompanying rights — without recourse for our citizens to oppose it, even prospectively? Those are the key questions before us as we navigate our journey as a nation-state.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on The Legal Case Against Anchor-Baby Citizenship Revisited
Written by Robert Knight
Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.
People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.… Continue Reading

The day after Donald J. Trump took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, left-wing federal lawmakers gathered for a press conference to decry the new direction of the nation. According to their own website, the “Congressional Progressive Caucus is comprised of nearly 100 progressive members from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate…” and exist to “fight economic and social inequality, and advance civil liberties.”… Continue Reading

January 20, 2025, marked the 60th Inauguration Ceremony of an American President.
At this Inauguration, President Trump made history by becoming the second President in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms. The other President was Grover Cleveland, who served as America’s twenty-second and twenty-fourth Presidents near the end of the nineteenth century.
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, of 180 Church in Detroit, Michigan, delivered the concluding benediction at this historic inauguration.… Continue Reading

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
