Counterfeit Christianity Exposed

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

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

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

Shutdown Spin: How the Media Always Blames Republicans

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

The Media’s Double Standard on Political Violence

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

Trump, Miller Blast Pritzker as Chicago Violence Spirals

Written by David E. Smith

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

Brian Stelter Underlines CNN Hypocrisy on White House Behavior

Written by Tim Graham

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

Chip Gaines Judges Everyone But Himself for Judging

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

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.

The Arrogant Media Are Not ‘Bringing Us Closer Together’

Written by Tim Graham

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billions of dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the U.S. Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”… Continue Reading

Democrats Can Say ‘Hitler’ All Day Long, Forget ‘Fact Checks’

Written by Tim Graham

The “No Kings” rally against President Donald Trump on June 14 featured several angry speeches from Democrats. Mediaite had this story: “Eric Swalwell ‘Trump Is America’s Hitler’ Remark at Rally Sparks Viral Outrage.” That gaseous D.C. speech was easily ignored by PolitiFact and those “independent fact-checkers.”

U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) says this repeatedly, and Mediaite added it’s a regular line from U.S. Representative James Clyburn (D-SC). Fox News host Neil Cavuto offered some mild pushback: “So you don’t think that’s a little hyperbolic?”… Continue Reading

MSNBC & CNN Ratings Imploding, While Fox News Now Beats ABC in Prime Time

Written by Tim Graham

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air passed along some encouraging news today from the ratings, under the heading “Implosion: MSNBC Still Cratering With New Line-Up — And CNN’s Not Far Behind.”

Somehow, vigilantly anti-Trump programming isn’t a ratings dynamo in the second term.

Activists on the Left think the Democrats are worthless and weak, and apparently so are the Democrat-enabling TV networks. First, there’s Mediaite as MSNBC “lands with a thud.”

MSNBC’s new prime time lineup, which debuted on May 5th, failed to connect with viewers in its first three weeks as the network saw its audience decline to near record lows – especially in the key 25-54 age demographic.
