Florida's end to vaccine mandates is due to Democrat tyrants

- The Washington Times

Florida is poised to become the first state in the nation to put an end to any and all state-imposed vaccines to children. And predictably, the left is going nuts, warning of lives lost and death counts and dire circumstances. But the leftists have only themselves to blame for Florida's action.

Bold and Blunt: Is the Bible anti-woman?

- The Washington Times

Women weren't made to be servants, says Daniah Greenberg, author of "Biblical Feminism." And those who use the Bible to insist a woman's place is solely in the home are twisting biblical truths for their own reasons.

Shootings and transgenders and ADHD drugs, oh my

- The Washington Times

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, in the wake of the Minneapolis deadly Catholic school shooting by a transgender, said he is investigating whether certain prescribed drugs to youth are fueling acts of violence. At long last. This is a much-needed investigation that should include all ADHD drugs, too.

Kamala Harris and her petulant, entitled Secret Service expectation

- The Washington Times

President Donald Trump revoked the Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris, raising a collective outcry from the Democrats who quickly spun the move as dangerous.The real story is Joe Biden sneakily signed a directive adding an extra year to the six months Harris is allowed by federal law.

Climate change propaganda infects U.S. judiciary and more

Democrats need to take their losses like adults

Bold & Blunt: Christian media surging

- The Washington Times

There's a new trend in media and it's one that's bound to send the leftists howling: it's called Christian Media Surge. And it means that at a time when fake news is everywhere, and corporate media is reeling, more Americans are turning to Christian media for their trusted sources of news.

Public schools finally feeling pinch from poor teaching

- The Washington Times

Leftists blame COVID, crackdowns on illegals, family relocations and even dwindling birth rates. But at root, it's all due to poor teaching. If children were being educated as they ought to be educated, parents wouldn't be seeking alternative schooling to such a degree.

Bold & Blunt: Trump reels back the campus radicalism

- The Washington Times

It's back-to-school time -- but with the new Donald Trump administration, the atmosphere on college campuses and within the K-12 system is very different. Less DEI. More learning. It's certainly a return to common sense and sanity in the schools.

Christian media surging in face of fake news

- The Washington Times

A new survey from Barna and National Religious Broadcasters finds more and more Americans are turning to Christian media as a source of news -- and moreover, it's mostly younger consumers, the Gen Z types, who are leading the charge. Fake news has met its match.

'Paint It, Black' -- the new song of American security

- The Washington Times

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the southern wall Congress funded and President Donald Trump ordered built will be painted black so it retains heat and makes it more difficult to climb. Talk about strategic planning. This isn't just hilarious. It's genius.
