The Trump White House has officially launched a media-bias page on its website — and judging by the hysteria from the legacy press, the Trump Administration hit a nerve. Breitbart reports that the new page highlights falsehoods, distortions, and slanted coverage from the usual suspects. And the reaction from those “objective journalists” tells you everything you need to know.
It’s exciting to see a Republican administration go on offense rather than shrink back.… Continue Reading

The rightness or wrongness of acts of civil disobedience is in the mind of the beholder.
For example, official lawlessness is openly practiced in “sanctuary” jurisdictions across the nation. The Department of Justice lists a total of 600 cities, counties and states where governing officials refuse to cooperate with federal officers enforcing immigration laws. In some cases, local officials actually interfere with the operations.
Democrats, who support open borders, say this is a matter of conscience, while Republicans say it invites further mass illegal immigration and lawlessness.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Dangerous Double Standard on Civil Disobedience
Written by Robert Knight
We keep being told that both sides of America’s political divide are equally culpable for violent rhetoric and violent acts. It’s a lie.
Virtually all of it comes from the political left. It wasn’t right-wingers who shot President Donald Trump and murdered health care executive Brian Thompson in New York and conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah in cold blood.
It wasn’t Young Republicans who attacked a Turning Point USA event on the University of California, Berkeley, campus last week, beating up a TPUSA staffer.… Continue Reading

No matter their claims, Nick Fuentes and those who sympathize with him are not Christians.
How do we know this? Because what matters to true Christians is Jesus. Christ is our “highest good.” He is the most important aspect of our lives. He is our summum bonum. He and nothing else — not politics, not popularity nor personal animus — is our “first thing.”
Christ, not clicks, drives every decision of a Christian’s life.… Continue Reading

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

Comments Off on A Not-So-Special Report with Governor Pritzker
Written by Tim Graham
If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it’s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the Party of Government, and the Republicans are the Haters of Government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down?
Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued their poll warning Republicans would get more of the blame than Democrats. That’s why those partisan hacks deserved defunding.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Shutdown Spin: How the Media Always Blames Republicans
Written by Tim Graham
Once the shock of Charlie Kirk‘s murder began to wear off, it became easier to notice how today’s “news” media routinely fail to live up to their own pompous prattle about their work. They don’t “hold people accountable,” they don’t “uphold democracy,” and they aren’t “independent” or “objective.” They don’t produce “news” as much as narrative.
You can see this in their energetic declarations that you couldn’t possibly ascribe a leftist motive to Kirk’s shooter … and even claimed you shouldn’t try.… Continue Reading

Chicago endured another bloody Labor Day weekend: eight people killed and 58 shot, including two teenagers. President Donald J. Trump responded by declaring, “Enough is enough… we’re going in,” signaling his willingness to send federal help to restore order in the city.
Trump contrasted Chicago’s spiraling violence with Washington, D.C., which he claimed is now a “safe zone” after federal intervention. “You can walk right down the middle of the street… you’re safe,” he told reporters.… Continue Reading

Liberal journalists who decry an allegedly pusillanimous White House press corps under Trump never seem to spend 10 seconds considering how “courageous” this group was under Biden.
CNN “Chief Media Analyst” Brian Stelter tweeted:
“The Trump White House has sought to reshape the press corps in its favor this year, and today showcased how well the effort has succeeded.”
Stelter was unhappy that no one ruined President Donald Trump’s Q&A session in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.… Continue Reading

Last week’s major kerfuffle in the conservative Christian world centered around the announcement by Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Magnolia Network fame, that they will proudly feature a “family” of two “married” men and the men’s young, surrogacy-purchased boys in an upcoming episode of their show.
Upon receiving predictable criticism for this decision, Mr. Gaines defiantly posted the following message on X:
“Talk, ask questions, listen … maybe even learn.
