The Rand Paul flip-flop heard ‘round the nation
Sen. Rand Paul called for lawsuits against Google for hosting a video that falsely accused him of taking money from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and for then refusing to remove the video when, as he put it, "paid trolls" spread the "ludicrous accusation" far and wide.

Democrats bent on destruction pivot from ‘defund police’ to ‘defund ICE’
Democrats on Capitol Hill are pushing hard for an overhaul of America's primary border enforcement agency, ICE, and have banded together to oppose passage of a Department of Homeland Security funding bill unless it includes controls on agents' conduct.

Americans seize the socialism: Most say it’s government’s job to give health care
Fully 66 percent of Americans in a Pew survey say it's the job of government to make sure everybody has health care coverage. Only 33 percent say nope -- it's not a government role.

Bold and Blunt: God is moving in America
President Trump recently announced a National Prayer Gathering to take place on the National Mall on May 17 as part of the celebrations of America's 250th.

Left’s war on accountability is leading to death, injury
It's sad and unfortunate that Renee Nicole Good is dead at the youthful age of 37 and now her three children will be bereft of her presence. It's also sad and unfortunate ICE agents were forced to shoot her. Published January 9, 2026
America’s exodus from globalism is a return to exceptionalism

Obamacare goes Republican: Not bipartisanship, but more like caving
Nine Republicans in the House sided with Democrats in pushing for extensions on Obamacare subsidies -- or at least, on bringing the measure to the floor for a vote. They call this bipartisanship. But it's better called caving. Published January 8, 2026
Bold and Blunt: LIbertarians cold on Donald Trump
Ask a MAGA how President Trump is doing, and chances are the reviews will be glowing. Ask a Democrat, and quite the opposite. Ask a libertarian, and it's more of the same as Democrats. Published January 7, 2026

Bold and Blunt: January 6 filled with stories of tragedy, heartbreak
It's just about the five-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021, protests on Capitol Hill -- and Americans are really no closer to realizing the truths of what transpired.
