Israel vs. Hamas vs. Palestinians: When optimism proves deadly
In answer to a question from The Washington Times, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said not all Muslims have Hamas-like terrorist tendencies and that cultivating the more moderate voices among the Islamic faithful is a sure step toward bringing peace.

Bold and Blunt: The global rise of sharia law

Bold and Blunt: Satan’s fake news campaign
Most Christians accept that Satan is a master liar and that he comes to steal and destroy. But how to fight him effectively? It all begins with knowing the truth and seeing evil as evil -- something which cannot be accomplished without reading God's word. Published August 5, 2025
Hamas has no intention of peace. Let’s stop pretending
A senior Hamas member, Ghazi Hamed, said on Al-Jazeera that "weapons constitute the Palestinian cause" and "no Palestinian is saying now that the resistance must end." And by "Palestinian cause," of course, it's meant "eradicate Israel, kill all Jews." Published August 5, 2025
Jack Smith has a timing problem
The Office of the Special Counsel, following a request from Sen.

Bold and Blunt: Democrats ratchet anti-MAGA lawlessness
Democrats have been fighting against the Donald Trump machine for years -- since at least 2015, when he first descended the golden escalator to announce his bid for the White House. But no matter how many times they're outed as politically weaponized, Democrats don't stop. Published August 1, 2025
Big Pharma, err, Big Lobby, cries crocodile tears at Trump’s call to cut costs

Another day, another Democrat defends an MS-13 illegal
A Democrat state representative for Rhode Island named Enrique Sanchez slammed on social media federal agents as "Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs" after they conducted a sweep in Providence of illegals. Only Democrats would dare to defend illegals so boldly. Published August 1, 2025
Obama-era radicals about to lose their environmental religion
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced a pathway to put an end to a Barack Obama-era environmental provision called the "endangerment finding," a provision that handed radical leftists a tool of massive control. This is a big win for the American people. Published July 31, 2025
UCLA, where all the antisemites go
The University of California, Los Angeles, just agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit over a "Jew Exclusion Zone" established during the school's recent heydays of antisemitic protests. Bravo, UCLA. Who knew you couldn't set up no-go zones for Jews -- right? (Insert sarcastic tone here.) Published July 30, 2025
Bold and Blunt: Russia, Russia, Russia, a ‘hoax’ and a ‘coup’
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of National Intelligence, has been dumping documents on the American people to prove that the Russia, Russia, Russia collusion was not only a hoax, but more than that, a coup -- and a coup conducted by the minds of the highest-ranking offices of the executive branch.

Obama won’t be going to jail
Barack Obama, the ex-president who promised utter transparency but who is now being accused of treason, may have been -- as one former federal prosecutor put it -- "complicit up to his neck" in advancing the fake Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, but he won't go to jail. Published July 25, 2025
Bold and Blunt: A new program to fight antisemitism, anti-Americanism
One of America's greatest problems is its seemingly growing acceptance of open antisemitism. Teaching the next generation in the pro-Israel way to go is crucial. Published July 25, 2025
Democrats pay the price of the whirlwinds they released
President Trump has called out former President Barack Obama for "treason" for "trying to lead a coup" during the 2016 and 2020 election cycles -- accusations the former White House chief, through a spokesman, denied. It's refreshing to see Democrats face political fire for what they lit. Published July 24, 2025
