The folly of sanctuary cities
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina went on "Hannity" on the Fox News Channel and told host Sean Hannity that it's impossible to have law and order in any jurisdiction that's also a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. He's 100 percent correct. Published January 29, 2026
Republicans must stand strong for Kristi Noem
Secretary Kristi Noem has been an effective, strong, determined and unrelenting leader at the Department of Homeland Security -- and this is why Democrats want her gone. And this is why Republicans need to coalesce around her and refuse to bow to Democrats who want her ousted. Published January 28, 2026
If Democrats want peace, Democrats should promote peace
On the heels of a tragic and fatal ICE shooting of American citizen Alex Pretti, Democrats have doubled down on their rhetoric for federal agents to leave Minneapolis, for ICE to be defunded and for President Trump to stop sending ICE into any other cities. But this is not the path toward peace. Published January 26, 2026
WATCH: Congress moves to strip social media’s Sec. 230 shield
One of America's hottest debates in recent years has been over the legal immunity social media executives are awarded for their platforms, which has given them the ability to boot voices they don't like -- and cry no harm, no foul even when they allow posts that are defamatory and maliciously false in nature. That may soon change. Published January 24, 2026
WHO no more, as Trump smacks ‘America First’ on global medical bureaucracy
President Donald Trump promised some months ago to withdraw America from the World Health Organization, and now he's gone and done it -- and now the globalists and their anti-MAGA Wendy Whiners in the media have kicked off the gloom and doom tour. People will die! Nonsense. Published January 23, 2026
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. This is a huge change of view. Published January 22, 2026
Bold and Blunt: Democrats — lunatic or misunderstood?
Democrats and their leftist lunatic fringe supporters have been busily resisting by whatever violent means necessary all attempts from ICE to remove the worst-of-the-worst criminals from the streets in Minneapolis. But are these loons simply misunderstood? Published January 21, 2026
Dear Davos, there’s a new chief in town and his name is Trump
President Donald Trump is going to Davos. He's scheduled to speak Wednesday. And snap, like that, the whole global order -- one world order -- new world order -- Great Reset crowd is a much quieter beast. Trump ain't like the last American president. Published January 20, 2026
Bold and Blunt: The government wants your DNA
There's a new privacy nightmare coming to town and it's called whole genome sequencing of newborns -- meaning, the collection and reading of all your baby's DNA at birth to determine the potential of future health risks. Published January 17, 2026
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. More than that, they're bragging about it. Published January 16, 2026
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. Another way to read these numbers: 66 percent of Americans have jumped into bed with socialists. Published January 15, 2026
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. And like that -- the so-called "separation of church and state" atheists insist is in the Constitution just got a little less separated. Published January 13, 2026
Trump credit card cap helps, not hurts, Americans
President Trump wants to cap interest on credit cards for one year at 10 percent -- and now banks, Wall Street executives and businesses are warning of economic devastations, particularly for the poor. Cue crocodile tears. Published January 13, 2026
WATCH: Venezuela about far more than just Venezuela
Much talk has gone forth in recent days about the legalities of President Donald Trump's seizure of Nicolas Maduro and his wife from Venezuela, and whether this White House has overstepped its authority. But Venezuela is not just about Venezuela. Published January 10, 2026
Qatar is donating big to U.S. universities, and that’s a real problem
What do Cornell, Texas A&M., Georgetown and Carnegie Mellon universities have in common? They all receive billions of dollars of foreign funds -- specifically, from Qatar. Six-point-six billion, in fact. Published January 9, 2026
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
America, under President Trump's leadership, is poised to withdraw from 66 international organizations, commissions and agencies, particularly those tied to the United Nations. And all the globalists go: Yikes! Their honeypot -- their money pot -- is about to go dry. Published January 8, 2026
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
Mamdani’s Big Apple is now the canary in the socialist coal mine
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's newest appointment, Cea Weaver, to the Office to Protect Tenants, once ranted on the then-known Twitter platform that "homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy." Oh, boy. And the hits just keep on coming. Published January 6, 2026
