There has been breaking news on the Iran conflict all day. Whatever we say now will likely be different by the time you see our report. But there is no doubt about the direction in which things are moving. An increasingly weakened Iran is making more and more concessions. And more and more Democrats are increasingly worried that America may actually win the war. Ponder that for a second.

As most of you know, I had the great honor of working alongside Dr. James Dobson over the years. Dr. Dobson had two great passions, which I shared—God’s institution of the family and Christian citizenship. Dr. Dobson was a powerful ally during my time in the Reagan White House. And after I left the Reagan administration, I partnered with Dr. Dobson to transform the Family Research Council from a three-person office in debt into a multi-million-dollar organization with more than 100 employees. Many left-wing politicians despised what Dr. Dobson stood for. But many other elected… Read More

Congressman Eric Swalwell’s fall from grace has been dramatic. He first rose to national prominence more than a decade ago when he defeated powerful incumbent Democrat Pete Stark in the primary for California’s 15th Congressional District. Seven years later, he ran for president of the United States. A week ago, he was a leading candidate for governor of California. Yesterday, he resigned in disgrace. Swalwell is a creature of today’s power-hungry Democrat Party. He was one of the party’s favorite and effective attack dogs. He apparently acted like an attack dog when he was with vulnerable… Read More

The AI-generated picture of Donald Trump in a white robe with a red sash generated a lot of controversy yesterday. Critics claimed it portrayed Donald Trump as Jesus or the pope. The president said that is not what he intended. He saw it as an image of himself as a doctor healing a sick person. Regardless of how one interprets the image, it got all kinds of headlines and attention in the media. It was on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. The critics saw it as a chance to undermine President Trump’s support with Christian voters. On the day that… Read More

After 21 hours of negotiations failed to convince the Iranian regime to give up its nuclear ambitions, Vice President J.D. Vance left Pakistan Saturday evening and returned to the United States. President Trump announced that the United States Navy would begin mine-sweeping operations to clear the Strait of Hormuz, and also implement a blockade of Iranian ports. Iran has been allowing ships from nations friendly to the regime to enter and exit the strait safely. (Communist China buys the vast majority of Iran’s oil.) At the same time, Iran prevented ships from nations allied with the… Read More

Earlier this week, I recommended you see “A Great Awakening,” a movie by our friends at Sight & Sound, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I recommended it based on the suggestions of people whose opinions I respect who said it was “fantastic.” Carol and I went to see the movie last night, and “fantastic” is an understatement.

Some conservatives and Fox News commentators are saying something about the conflict with Iran that sounds totally correct, but it’s actually not true. Such comments are the result of the sad inability to think logically about complicated questions. President Trump is being criticized for accepting the ceasefire while Iran still “controls” the Strait of Hormuz. And, if the war ends with Iran remaining in control of the strait, we’re being told such a conclusion would be worse than when the conflict started. I know that sounds right, but it isn’t.

Facing a hard deadline and strong warnings from President Trump, the Islamic Republic of Iran blinked yesterday. They accepted a two-week ceasefire proposal from Pakistan. Crucially, the ceasefire deal called on Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Over the course of the next 14 days, Pakistan will mediate negotiations between Iran and the United States for a final peace agreement. Vice President Vance is going to Pakistan this weekend to speak for the United States.

President Trump’s deadline for the Iranian regime to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is 8:00 p.m. tonight. This morning, the president issued another strong warning to Iran’s leaders, calling tonight’s deadline “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.” I want to add this caveat. Throughout his entire career, President Trump, as part of his efforts to “make a deal,” will take a tough stance, and then he drops it once he has won concessions. Or he will suggest he won’t do something, in order to confuse his opponent, only to do it later. The Left says… Read More

Those were President Trump’s words Sunday morning when he announced the successful rescue of an Air Force officer deep inside Iran. On Friday, the pilot and weapons officer of a F-15E fighter jet were forced to eject over Iranian territory after their aircraft was hit by enemy fire. President Trump later identified the weapons officer as a “highly respected colonel.” Just before ejecting from his F-15, the colonel radioed a brief message. Likely with his death or capture by the enemy racing through his mind, the colonel said, “God is good.” Can you imagine having the faith and… Read More

Yesterday was a day of great success for America. Of course, you’d never know it from the left-wing fanatics, humorless comedians and the American media. Here are two things to celebrate.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a case challenging President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. In an unprecedented move, President Trump attended today’s hearing in person, becoming the first sitting president to do so. The outcome of the birthright citizenship case has divided conservative legal scholars. Some are skeptical that the justices will reconsider how the 14th Amendment has been interpreted for decades to automatically grant citizenship to anyone born in the United States. When you read the debate that took place in Congress when the… Read More

Earlier this month, Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon, drove his truck into the largest synagogue in Michigan. There is no doubt that he was a raw antisemite who despised Israel. And 99 times out of 100, if you despise Israel, you despise America. Just minutes before the attack, Ghazali recorded two videos that he sent to his sister in Lebanon. In one video, Ghazali told his sister that he was “at the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan” and “Allah willing, I will kill as many of them as I can.”

“No Kings” demonstrations took place all over the country this weekend. Again, if Donald Trump really were a dangerous dictator, these protests would not have been allowed. “King Donald” would have banned them. The crazies hit the streets abroad, too. An estimated 500,000 leftists and Islamists marched in London, England, in solidarity with the demonstrations here. So, in a country that actually has a king, 500,000 people marched demanding that America not have a king, which we don’t. Back here at home, violence erupted in Los Angeles and Portland, as Marxist leftists threw concrete… Read More

Late yesterday, President Trump announced that he had enough of the Schumer/Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump said he was going to issue an executive order to pay our airport police using funds in other Homeland Security accounts. He blasted Democrats, declaring: “The Radical Left Democrats . . . have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen… Read More

This morning, President Trump held the 11th cabinet meeting of his second term. (Joe Biden held only nine cabinet meetings in his entire four-year term.) Needless to say, Iran was a major topic of discussion, and the president provided an update for the American people. Trump reiterated that the battle with Iran is going extremely well. Iran’s navy has been sunk, its military has been decimated, its nuclear and ballistic missile programs have been greatly degraded, and at least two layers of the regime’s leadership have been wiped out. The president referred to Iran’s leaders as “… Read More

After President Trump made the surprise announcement 48 hours ago that the United States was negotiating a deal with Iran to end the conflict in the Middle East, Big Media stopped just short of accusing the president of lying to the American people. “Well, there’s really no way to know whether any talks are actually happening or not,” the talking heads told us. “Trump said they were. But Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was a Boy Scout growing up (NOT) and is known for his trustworthiness (NOT), said they are no negotiations. So how can we in the media figure it out?” It is… Read More

The tone of virtually all of the media coverage regarding the conflict with Iran has been “President Trump claims X, and Iran says Y, so who really knows?” The front page of today’s New York Times has this headline: “Trump’s Claims On Talks Elicit Gains In Markets, And Denials From Iran.” In other words, who are you going to believe—President Trump’s claims or Iran’s denials?

Over the weekend, President Trump warned Iran that it had 48 hours to fully open the Strait of Hormuz or the U.S. military would start destroying Iran’s power grid. Also, more than 20 nations are now offering to “help” keep the Strait of Hormuz open. These developments got Tehran’s attention. This morning, President Trump posted a big update on Truth Social. He wrote: “I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE… Read More

If Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz had won the election, the border would be open, no illegal aliens would be deported, and Iran would have nuclear weapons. By a very narrow margin—50% to 48%—American voters chose Donald Trump and JD Vance, who campaigned on closing the border, deporting illegals, and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

We have been experiencing unexplained drone sightings at sensitive military sites for several years now. In some cases, we have arrested Chinese spies. But often we never get a satisfactory explanation. There was a report last week that the FBI picked up intelligence suggesting Iran may attempt to attack targets along the West Coast using drones. Some said the danger was exaggerated, and others said it was real. Here’s the latest disturbing report: unidentified drones have been detected over Fort McNair Army Base in ​Washington, D.C., where Secretary of State Marco ‌Rubio and… Read More

The radical Iranian regime’s decision to target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has sent oil prices skyrocketing and has financial markets in a panic. President Trump understands the obvious risks involved and made sinking Iran’s navy a top priority. To ensure the free flow of energy and international trade, President Trump asked our NATO allies to commit some of their naval assets to help us keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Well, our European NATO allies just abandoned the United States and President Trump. They rejected our request to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, even though 25% of… Read More

Democrat Disconnect

The conventional wisdom is that our country is split right down the middle on dozens of issues, and compromise is the only way to get anything done. That’s true on some things. 

Reports are circulating that Tucker Carlson may be under investigation by the U.S. government for regularly communicating with Iranian officials. In fact, in a recent social media post, Carlson said himself that the CIA has been spying on him and reading his texts to prepare a criminal referral against him. It is well-known that Carlson is a vocal opponent of U.S. intervention in Iran. He met with President Trump at the White House multiple times leading up to the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against the Iranian regime. There are questions on whether he shared information he heard at the… Read More

Since March 1st there has been a wave of terrorist attacks on our homeland. The barbarians are inside the gates. The attacks began when Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal, attacked a popular bar in Austin, Texas. Three people were killed, and 13 were wounded. On March 7th, Ibrahim Kayumi and Emir Balat attacked a peaceful demonstration in New York City. Their parents came here legally from Afghanistan and Turkey. Yesterday, there were two jihadist attacks. The first occurred when Mahomed Jollah, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, attacked students… Read More

A synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was attacked this afternoon. A man rammed his truck into the synagogue’s doors and got out armed with a rifle. The attacker was shot and killed by an armed security guard. Another security guard was hit and knocked unconscious when the suspect drove into the building. No other injuries have been reported. Meanwhile, back in Washington, D.C., it’s Day 27 of the Schumer shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats today voted for the fourth time to block funding for the department.

The FBI has warned law enforcement officials in California that it has intelligence indicating Iran may attempt to strike targets in the Golden State using drones launched from ships off the coast. The Democrats and their media allies will likely try to spin this danger as something Donald Trump caused because he “launched a war of choice” against the Iranian regime. That’s false. The key point is that this intelligence indicates the Iranians were planning these drone strikes in “early February 2026,” well before the conflict with Iran began on February 28th—a conflict that began… Read More

The U.S. intelligence community has intercepted a communication to Iranian sleeper cells around the world to launch attacks on U.S. interests wherever they can. Sleeper cells are individuals who usually have come into European countries and the United States, often illegally, but many times legally. They have been waiting for the signal to strike. The recent failed attack in New York City is one example of what Iranian sleeper cells might do. In other cases, the jihadists might be “home grown”–radicalized online. During Joe Biden’s four years of open borders, more than 1,500 Iranian… Read More

A demonstration this weekend against public Islamic prayers in New York City nearly turned deadly. The demonstration was organized by social media influencer Jake Lang and took place outside of Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor of New York City. But after a mob of Muslim counter-protesters showed up, someone threw two explosive devices at Lang’s demonstration. A third explosive device was discovered Sunday morning. Thankfully, the devices did not explode. Police arrested two suspects—Emir Balat (18) and Ibrahim Kayumi (19). Federal law enforcement officials said one… Read More

Yesterday, I was blessed to join a small group of Christians for a private meeting in the Oval Office with the president of the United States. We were there at a time when the president is carrying the heaviest burden any president has to endure—entrusting the lives of our brave men and women in uniform in a military conflict to protect the United States of America. Throughout our history, whenever a conflict began, both political parties rallied together in support of our troops and our country. Sometimes that unity would fray as a war continued. But in the beginning at least, everyone is… Read More
