Attorney General Pam Bondi announced this morning that the Trump administration is filing a federal lawsuit against the state of Maine for discriminating against women. Nearly two months ago, President Trump publicly called out Janet Mills, Maine’s leftist governor, at a White House event for refusing to comply with his executive order to stop men from cheating in women’s sports. When the governor resisted, Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to Maine. Mills replied, “See you in court.” In the intervening weeks, the Trump administration tried repeatedly to get Maine to… Read More
Earlier this month, communist China banned the export of key rare earth minerals in retaliation against U.S. trade policy. China’s communist dictator, Premier Xi, just made the case for Donald Trump’s tariffs. This New York Post headline sums it up well: “China Suspends Rare Earth Exports, Kneecapping U.S. Industry Reliant On Beijing’s ‘Monopoly.’” Rare earth minerals are essential to everything in modern life, including our national security. We have rare earth minerals in the United States, but we only have one operational mine, which produces a small fraction of the global supply of… Read More
It’s Holy Week, the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I couldn’t help thinking this morning what it was like last year when we knew the Biden administration would give Christians the back of their hand with Easter coming up. Sure enough, the Biden White House spent Easter Sunday celebrating Transgender Visibility Day. It was as disgusting as it was predictable. The Biden/Harris regime was at war with religious liberty. They were putting pro-life Christians in jail. They were spying on conservative churches. They were forcing LGBTQ propaganda on our kids. They were… Read More
Here’s news you probably haven’t heard much about. In December 2024, representatives of the lame duck Biden administration held a secret meeting in Switzerland with their counterparts from the Chinese communist regime. What the Chinese said shocked the U.S. delegation. They admitted to years and years of dangerous cyberattacks against the United States. We’ve told you about those attacks. They were carried out by a Beijing-backed group called “Volt Typhoon.” They hacked into major U.S. telecommunications systems, our utilities, our water systems, our ports, and other critical… Read More
For days now, all the commentators on CNBC, America’s major financial network, have been hyperventilating over President Trump’s trade policies. “Why all these tariffs on the rest of the world? We should put tariffs on China,” they cried. The answer is that we wanted all these other countries to lower their tariffs on our products, and we’re in discussions now to do just that. Meanwhile, Trump increased tariffs on communist China to 145%. But today, all these commentators are screaming, “How are businesses and consumers going to afford products from China?!” They shifted their narrative… Read More
There was a bombshell revelation this week in the trial of wannabe assassin Ryan Routh, the man who tried to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course. In court filings, federal prosecutors disclosed that Routh had been planning to assassinate Trump for months. He committed fully to his plot after the failed attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024. Prosecutors also revealed that Routh was communicating through encrypted messages with individuals in Mexico, where he planned to flee after the assassination. He was also communicating with someone allegedly in… Read More
Late yesterday, the Supreme Court waded into the “controversy” of whether President Trump could deport vicious illegal alien gang members under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA). Just to be clear, there is no controversy among the American people. The public overwhelmingly supports President Trump’s efforts to kick illegal alien gang members out of the country. But left-wing activists and radical judges keep preventing Trump from doing what he promised to do. Judge James Boasberg, an Obama-appointed district court judge in Washington, D.C., issued a nationwide injunction blocking the… Read More
More than 1,300 demonstrations took place across the country over the weekend. The elated left-wing media cheered the demonstrations as an incredible backlash against Donald Trump. Here’s the truth. America remains deeply divided on virtually every issue. But the people in the streets were not former Trump supporters. Fox News reporters waded into the crowds and could not find one Trump voter. The biggest demonstrations took place in big urban cities, not exactly MAGA country. So, this was the left organizing demonstrations of leftists. At least 150 left-wing groups were involved in… Read More
The stock market turmoil continues today. I suspect we will find out eventually that powerful forces are intentionally driving prices down. But that’s a story for another day. Here’s what should be screaming headlines. All the “smart” people telling you that tariffs will destroy the economy and that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing were also telling us that with all the government layoffs and uncertainty, we’d be lucky to get 140,000 new jobs in March. Well, we just got the March jobs report, and 228,000 new jobs were created last month. That’s more than 50%… Read More
President Trump delivered a major address in the White House Rose Garden yesterday, outlining his America First economic agenda. There were many union workers in the audience. One union auto worker the president invited up to the podium said, “Mr. President, we can’t thank you enough.” It’s a sentiment shared by many in the heartland. (Here and here.) Not everyone is happy. The tariffs Trump announced were in many cases tougher than what had been expected. The financial markets cratered this morning. The entire chattering class is screaming, “The sky is falling!” Democrats are in… Read More
In politics, record low numbers often are not good news. No politician brags about record low approval ratings or record low job creation. Well, President Trump just hit a new record low, but this one is really good and something worth bragging about! Under the Biden/Harris regime, at least 200,000 illegal aliens crossed our borders in a typical month. That’s well over 6,000 illegal border crossings a day. As you may recall, Biden insisted that he had done all he could to secure the border and couldn’t do any more without new legislation from Congress. We almost fell for that trap.… Read More
Yesterday was Transgender Visibility Day. If you missed it, thank President Trump! It got a lot of visibility last year because Joe Biden issued a proclamation on Good Friday recognizing Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday. If that insult to Christians wasn’t bad enough, Biden’s Easter message was significantly shorter than his proclamation for Transgender Visibility Day. He had a lot to say about that but only offered a perfunctory reference to the resurrection. It was clear that the real observance at the Biden/Harris White House was Transgender Visibility Day, and anyone who… Read More
It’s spring, and the left is busy bashing, burning, and desecrating. Of course, it’s all in the name of “defending our democracy.” There is increasing vandalism of Tesla cars and road rage incidents against Tesla owners. At an event this weekend, Elon Musk said that the number of daily death threats he’s getting has gone down from 18,000 to 17,000. At demonstrations targeting Tesla dealerships, the favorite sign was, “Burn a Tesla! Save Democracy.” I can’t even explain what that means or how that works. The Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was set on fire… Read More
In every election with a conservative candidate, the left’s strategy is always the same – demagoguery and demonization. To retirees, the left says, “He’s going to cut Medicare and Social Security.” To blacks, the left says, “They’re going to put you all back in chains.” George W. Bush went out of his way to prove he wasn’t racist. It didn’t matter. When three thugs killed a black man by dragging him from their pickup truck, somehow it was Bush’s fault. This is a consistent feature of the left. It’s not a bug. It’s not a flaw. It’s what they do. And they do it regularly because it often… Read More
When it comes to explanations, a picture is worth a thousand words because of its dramatic clarity. Sometimes they are worth far more, as is the case with this photo of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. It’s important that we all understand exactly what we’re actually looking at. This is a picture of Secretary Noem at El Salvador’s Terrorist Confinement Center. As the name implies, that’s where the worst of the worst are locked up and kept away from society. It’s also the same prison where President Trump sent hundreds of illegal alien gang members that Joe Biden allowed to walk… Read More
The situation resulting from the Signal chat leak is NOT a scandal or a serious threat to our national security. Yes, it is embarrassing. But, more importantly, it has implications for the president’s ability to implement his America First foreign policy. National Security Adviser Michael Waltz put the call together. To his credit, he immediately took responsibility. However, the reporter on the call, Jeffrey Goldberg, is not just any reporter. He is one of the media’s most aggressive enemies of President Trump. He actively promoted the Russian collusion hoax. I could give you ten other… Read More
Several weeks ago, Border Czar Tom Homan promised he would “bring hell” to the sanctuary city of Boston, Massachusetts. Homan kept his promise. Last week, federal agents arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston and in surrounding communities. According to ICE, 205 of these aliens had “significant criminal convictions or charges,” including four who were wanted for murder and at least three wanted for sex crimes against children. Members of the vicious foreign gangs MS-13 and Tren de Aragua were arrested, more than 100 weapons were seized, and federal agents also confiscated enough fentanyl… Read More
Yesterday marked the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” speech. Henry delivered the speech at the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775, when colonial leaders were debating the future relationship with Great Britain. While the colonists bristled at unfair taxation by the British, the possibility of rebellion against the king deeply divided the colonies. Henry’s passionate address before the Second Virginia Convention was a decisive turning point. It’s not an exaggeration to suggest that the American Revolution might not have happened without… Read More
President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday laying the groundwork for abolishing the federal Department of Education, yet another campaign promise fulfilled. The president’s order reflects the understanding that it will take an act of Congress to fully eliminate the department. That will require 60 votes in the Senate, which isn’t going to happen anytime soon. However, we believe the president has a lot of executive authority to move things around and conduct “reductions in force” to shrink the number of bureaucrats employed by the Education Department. But the polling… Read More
You may have seen a viral photo this week of me and a dozen colleagues praying in the Oval Office with President Trump. Here’s the backstory. Yesterday morning, a dozen conservative Christian leaders met in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is part of the White House “campus.” We were there at the invitation of the White House Faith Office. That office, under the leadership of Pastor Paula White-Cain and Faith Director Jenny Korn, has been granted extraordinary access to President Trump and a major role in policy development. The attendees at the meeting brought dozens of… Read More
Chief Justice John Roberts released a statement yesterday regarding the controversial rulings of multiple district court judges. While avoiding Donald Trump by name, Roberts said calls for the impeachment of federal judges “is not an appropriate response” to disagreements over a decision. Roberts issued this latest statement because multiple House Republicans and President Trump have called for the impeachment of several rogue judges. One is Judge James Boasberg, who issued an insane order to bring violent gang members back to America after they had been deported. But what was missing… Read More
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both warned Hamas to quit playing games with American and Israeli hostages. Unfortunately, the Islamic supremacists ignored their repeated warnings. As a result, Israel, with Trump’s full support, struck numerous Hamas targets throughout Gaza last night. Israel Katz, Israel’s defense minister, was absolutely clear about where things stand. Katz said: “If Hamas does not free all the hostages, the gates of hell will be opened in Gaza, and the Hamas murderers and rapists will meet the IDF with a force they did not know until… Read More
When he took office two months ago, President Trump broke the shackles on our Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. He ordered a major nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration, beginning with violent gang members who have been terrorizing American citizens coast to coast. To expedite the process of removing these vicious gang members, President Trump declared two of the worst illegal alien gangs, Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13, to be terrorist organizations. He then invoked the Alien Enemies Act, which authorizes the president to remove foreign nationals… Read More
The radical left showed its true colors yesterday when their “stormtroopers” occupied the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City. The media loved it and gave us headlines like this: “Jewish Protesters Flood Trump Tower To Demand Activist Mahmoud Khalil’s Release.” That’s fake news. Here’s the real story you should know about Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), the group behind yesterday’s demonstration at Trump Tower. In no real sense are these far-left fringe radicals “Jewish.” Nor are they for “peace,” as their warlike occupation demonstrated. Jewish Voice for Peace is allied with the… Read More
Remember the “bipartisan” Lankford/Murphy compromise immigration bill that died last year after Donald Trump publicly opposed it? Thank God it failed! When it was announced, the immediate reaction of many pundits, including some at FOX News, was, “This is a great compromise!” Then, there was shock and frustration when Trump signaled he was against it. We were also reminded that Senator James Lankford (R-OK) is a Christian, as if we should blindly trust whatever he and the Democrats agreed to because he shared our faith. I’m glad the senator will be in heaven, but his compromise… Read More
America is in the middle of an ideological war over fundamental values. The media are clearly on the wrong side, and they are doing everything they can to confuse and manipulate people. Recall during the Biden administration that pro-life activists engaged in free speech by protesting the killing of innocent preborn babies. They prayed and sang hymns at an abortion center. Some of these pro-life activists were grandmothers. All were peaceful. Joe Biden had them arrested and prosecuted. They were hauled before a left-wing judge, who mocked their faith and sentenced these American… Read More
Five years ago today, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office to calm a country panicked by the emerging global pandemic. No one at the time fully comprehended the catastrophe that was about to unfold. It was a catastrophe for families who lost loved ones. It was a catastrophe for our children who lost years of learning. It was a catastrophe for our scientific establishment, which lost all credibility. It was a catastrophe for the American people, whose civil rights were trampled. It was a catastrophe for our country as the pandemic paved the way for the… Read More
The left’s unhinged rhetoric is having exactly the effect they want it to have. Ever since Donald Trump’s inauguration, high-ranking Democrats have been saying things like, “We are at war!” and “We will fight in the streets!” So, what’s happened in the last couple of days? Vice President J.D. Vance and his three year-old daughter were harassed by a mob of idiots in Cincinnati. Tesla dealerships are being firebombed, shot at, and vandalized with swastikas. Tesla charging stations are being destroyed. I guess the left doesn’t want electric cars after all. Twice this weekend, Air… Read More
Two active-duty Army soldiers, Jian Zhao and Li Tian, and former Army soldier Ruoyu Duan were arrested yesterday. They are charged with providing sensitive information about U.S. weapons systems and military strategy to communist China. Zhao reportedly had 20 hard drives containing classified military information. Prosecutors said Zhao has a warehouse, presumably with more secret information, that they have not found yet. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a strong statement, saying, “The defendants arrested today are accused of betraying our country, actively working to weaken America’s… Read More
The politics of America’s border/immigration battles were on full display yesterday. Vice President J.D. Vance toured the southern border to reinforce President Trump’s commitment to border security. He was joined by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, the message of the vice president, the secretary of defense, and the director of national intelligence appearing together at our southern border is crystal clear: This administration is serious about border security. At the same time… Read More
