I shouldn’t have done it, but I couldn’t resist.
This week, I got into an exchange on social media with an evangelical pastor who was critical of Megan Basham’s new book, “Shepherds for Sale.” The book is a New York Times bestseller, and it exposes the overt leftward lurch of America’s evangelical denominations, publications, organizations and their leaders, also known as Big Eva.
In her book, Mrs. Basham does an excellent job of following the money and highlighting a fact: Influencers such as Russell Moore (editor in chief of Christianity Today magazine) and David French (contributing writer for The New York Times) and organizations such as the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and the Trinity Forum are politically compromised because they are funded or influenced by billionaires such as George Soros who are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to infiltrate the church with pro-abortion politics.… Continue Reading

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

Comments Off on Harris Had a More Leftist Voting Record Than Sanders
Written by Tim Graham
On the same day that President Joe Biden implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like “Hamas is comin'” and “I commend Hamas.”
The occasion was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to a joint session of Congress.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Sanitizing Violent, Flag-Burning Pro-Hamas Protesters
Written by Mia Gradick
As Election Day approaches, the far Left, politicians and some of the most radical groups in America continue their attacks on the U.S. Supreme Court and our judicial system.
U.S. House Democrats recently announced a new “Court Reform Now” task force that will work to advance legislation that would supposedly fix “political activism” at the U.S. Supreme Court.
The representatives say the U.S. Supreme Court has usurped “legislative and executive authority with activist decisions that disregard established precedent in order to achieve political results.”… Continue Reading

Did you ever think you would see the day when Jewish students on elite college campuses were afraid to attend classes?
Pro-Hamas mobs have taken over. They have built tent cities and made it clear that Jews and anyone supporting Israel is an enemy.
At Columbia University, Israel-born Shai Davidai, an assistant professor at the business school, was told that his keycard was deactivated after he spoke at a pro-Israel rally.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Democrats Make Race the Measure of All Things
Written by Tim Graham
Is President Joe Biden treating the press better than former President Donald Trump did? It’s a low bar to argue he doesn’t describe the media as “enemies of the people.” Is he really treating them as they view themselves — as representatives of the people? Or is he not interested in addressing the people? Are they all too negative?
Ben Smith at Semafor.com reported on the White House holiday party for journalists, described as a chance “to dispel his main problem with the U.S.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Biden and the Press: Is He the Bumper-Bowling President?
Written by Stephen Moore
The late, great humorist P.J. O’Rourke used to quip that everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to wash the dishes.
Well, now that can be said for traditional environmental groups that seem to have lost their way.
Green groups are supposed to be about keeping our rivers, lakes and streams clean. They are supposed to be about fighting litter and keeping toxic chemicals out of the air. Their job is to maintain the beauty of our national parks and save elephants and tigers.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Green Groups Are No Longer Promoting a Cleaner Environment
Written by Dr. Everett Piper
Last week, in this column, I argued, “What happens in Israel will not stay in Israel.” I went on to warn that “the next shoe to drop may be in Galveston rather than Gaza.”
Is this warning a bit over the top, or is there a reason to take it seriously?
Well, if Solomon was right when he said, “As a man thinketh, so he is,” let’s consider what the people who fancy themselves the moral conscience of America and the West actually think and say.… Continue Reading

“What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart,” Jesus told his disciples.
Yes, a few words can reveal all you need to know about someone’s character or motives.
A case in point is Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. In a column on Wednesday for The Wall Street Journal, she told at least two easily rebutted whoppers.
Here’s the first: “With the Inflation Reduction Act, we are delivering on what I call ‘modern supply-side economics,’” she wrote.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Liberals’ Climate Agenda Brings Out The Gaslighting
Written by Tim Graham
White House briefings in the Biden years are often sleepy meetings compared to the Jim Acosta shriek-fests we remember under Trump. President Joe Biden pledged he would be so much nicer to the press corps. He promised to “bring transparency and truth back to the government.” But the press is much nicer to him than the other way around.
Biden provides far less access than Trump did. He avoids press conferences and one-on-one interviews like the plague.… Continue Reading
