Why the Left Gets a Pass on Political Violence

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

Why Democrats Are Rooting for the Shutdown

Written by Star Parker

One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.”

Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.”

Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown.

Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of government spending and debt.

House Republicans passed a continuing resolution ready for the president’s signature to fund the government, but Democrats said no.… Continue Reading

Who Are the Democratic Socialists?

Written by David E. Smith

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.

But how many Americans understand the goals of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)?… Continue Reading

The Importance of Retaking Institutions

Written by Victor Joecks

Lasting political change doesn’t come from winning elections but reshaping institutions.

On Feb. 26, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, issued a stunning announcement.

“I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages,” he wrote on X. “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

Yes, that’s the same Washington Post editorial board that attacked Donald Trump last year for promising tax cuts and reduced regulations.… Continue Reading

Suddenly, Liberal Christians Want To Get Political

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

For the past two weeks, the news headlines have been replete with stories of liberal church leaders condemning the Trump administration for its intent to enforce America’s immigration laws. Here are some examples.

Christianity Today: “Trump’s First Week Sends Shudders Through Immigrant Churches and Ministries.” This article accuses the Trump administration of plunging multiple communities across the nation into fear and anxiety.

Genocide Watch: “Pope Francis Condemns U.S. Deportation Policies, Directly Criticizing Trump’s Immigration Actions.”… 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

Is Harris’ Faith in God or in Government?

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

[Last] week, Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted, “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree” with her and presumably vote for her in November.

In response to the post, former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy asked the following.

“Dear Vice President, I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what ’faith’ are you talking about?”

He went further:

“Are you talking about [the Christian faith] or some nebulous, general ’faith’ …?

Voices Crying in the Internet Wildernesses

Written by Rev. Ceasar I. LeFlore

Besides Jesus Christ, John the Baptist is by far one of my most favored and respected heroes of the Christian Bible. His boldness and fearless proclamation of the truth concerning the imminent coming of the Kingdom of Christ, even to a hostile and spiritually blind world, caused him to be identified in New Testament Scripture as “the voice of one crying in the wilderness,” prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament.… Continue Reading

Numbers Don’t Lie, Except When Democrats Report Them

Written by Robert Knight

President Biden said during July’s heat wave that “extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States.”

Mr. Biden is “wrong by a factor of 25,” wrote Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, in The Wall Street Journal. “While extreme heat kills nearly 6,000 Americans each year, cold kills 152,000, of which 12,000 die from extreme cold.”

Mr. Lomborg noted that heat-related deaths have declined for decades in the United States and around the world because prosperity has allowed more people to afford air conditioning and other technology.… Continue Reading

Harris Had a More Leftist Voting Record Than Sanders

Written by Robert Knight

Within hours of her being announced as President Biden’s presumed replacement as the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris’ moderate makeover began.

Journalists reflexively began gushing over her “historic” candidacy and centrist views.

The love bombing and sheer dishonesty is a replay of 2020, when she ran for vice president as a supposed moderate.

The facts loudly spoke otherwise. As a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, she had a more leftist voting record even than socialist U.S.… Continue Reading
