Charlie Kirk, in death, emerges as assayer of God
Bill Maher said "the left" has a "bad attitude of 'go no contact'" -- meaning, the left condemns those who disagree with their views. He said this while noting the Emmys failed to mention Charlie Kirk. This is the same Emmys where an actress called to "F--- ICE and free Palestine!" Priorities, meet the left.

Hamas wins, evil marches on, and civil society shudders
Britain, Australia, Portugal, Canada -- these countries all just recognized Palestinian statehood, a move aimed at exerting extra pressure on Israel and the White House to get in line with the two-state solution that's not so much a solution as an antisemitic means of eradicating the Jewish people.

Democrats learning lesson of toddlers
ABC has yanked "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" from its late-night lineup -- "indefinitely," no less -- after the talk show host spread false statements about the political leanings of the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Published September 20, 2025

George Soros — it’s RICO for thee, and your little son Alexander, too
President Trump said that the Democrats' sugar daddy, George Soros, is "a bad guy" who ought to be "put in jail" for his role in funding what's been accused -- albeit denied by the billionaire -- as some of the most violent uprisings in the nation. Soros has certainly sown political discord. Published September 16, 2025
Exploiting Charlie Kirk’s death
An email from a prominent conservative figure's chief operating officer goes like this: "I'm writing to ask you to join me in backing our security needs for ... our team" -- "we need to raise an initial $24,000" -- "please donate." Making money off Charlie Kirk's murder. It just doesn't seem right. Published September 15, 2025
Bold and Blunt: Majority young voters want socialist as president
Fifty-three percent of young voters in a new survey said want a socialist president in the White House in 2028. This is worrisome, to say the least. Published September 10, 2025
Israel, on Qatar, is not ‘rogue,’ but rather, released

Bold and Blunt: Halloween in August? Taking back the holidays
Once upon a time in America, Christmas was celebrated even in public schools as the birth of Jesus, and Halloween was at best a one-day affair -- a few cupcakes in class followed by a trick-or-treating at night. Now? Halloween starts in August. Published September 5, 2025
Dear Democrat senators: Congrats on reaching new level of stupidity

Florida’s end to vaccine mandates is due to Democrat tyrants
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?
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. Published September 1, 2025
Shootings and transgenders and ADHD drugs, oh my
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. Published August 29, 2025
Kamala Harris and her petulant, entitled Secret Service expectation
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
Republican state attorneys general are petitioning Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin to stop funding an Environmental Law Institute program that trains judges in the radical climate change way to go.

Bold & Blunt: Christian media surging
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. Published August 26, 2025
Public schools finally feeling pinch from poor teaching
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. Published August 26, 2025
Bold & Blunt: Trump reels back the campus radicalism
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. Published August 24, 2025
