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

President Donald Trump delivered a tremendous address before a joint session of Congress last night. It was an incredible speech! But there was something almost unbelievable about the speech that I hope Americans saw clearly. The left frequently excoriates Donald Trump for having “no empathy.” It’s the exact opposite. I have seen personally how empathetic he is. And he doesn’t forget people. Yesterday, before his speech, he called the Gold Star parents of the Abbey Gate bombing. That horrible attack occurred three and a half years ago. He wasn’t president then. But he called them after… Read More

President Donald Trump will address the American people tonight before a joint session of Congress. Technically, this is not a State of the Union speech, but that doesn’t matter. The purpose is the same – to outline the administration’s goals, priorities, and progress. On his Truth Social platform, President Trump said his speech tonight “WILL BE BIG. I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!” White House officials say the theme of Trump’s address will be “Renewal of the American Dream.” President Ronald Reagan began the tradition of bringing special guests to the State of the Union. Tonight, Trump’s… Read More

Many people have suggested that President Trump and Vice President Vance “ambushed” Ukrainian President Zelensky at Friday’s contentious Oval Office meeting. That makes absolutely no sense. Trump wanted to sign an economic deal that connected us to Ukraine in order to make a ceasefire agreement much more likely. But there is growing evidence that there was an “ambush” in the Oval Office – by Zelensky. General Keith Kellogg negotiated the deal in Ukraine, and he wanted it to be signed in Ukraine. But Ukrainian officials insisted that the signing take place at the White House. The whole… Read More

Today’s Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelensky should have been a cordial affair and a great photo op for the embattled president of Ukraine. It was the exact opposite. Zelensky’s body language, tone of voice, frequent facial expressions, and interruptions were totally inappropriate, and J.D. Vance called him out. Zelensky was here to sign a deal that would create United States interests in Ukraine, thereby deterring Putin from further aggression. But Zelensky continued to make demands, and he told Trump, “We will never accept just [a]… Read More

Virtually the entire educational establishment in Washington state is coming down hard on Frances Staudt, a 15 year-old girl. What is her alleged offense? She wanted to play junior varsity girls’ basketball. Her school, however, insisted on forcing Frances to play against a team that included a boy. This wasn’t just any boy. He was 18 years-old. A full-grown man. Playing against a girls JV team. During warmups, Frances noticed something odd about the player on the other team. She asked her school principal and athletic director if the player was a man. “No,” they said. “The player is… Read More

Kudos to Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans! They were able to unite and pass the budget resolution that advances all of President Trump’s America First agenda. But it wasn’t without drama. The leadership held open a vote on an unrelated bill for an hour to buy more time to persuade several holdouts. It wasn’t going well, so the leadership announced that the vote on the budget resolution was canceled. Ten minutes later, they announced that the vote was back on. President Trump called the holdouts and got it done. The vote was 217 to 215. Every Democrat voted no, while every… Read More

Have you seen the news about Republican members of Congress getting blasted at town hall events by angry voters infuriated by Elon Musk’s efforts to cut waste in the government? These demonstrations occurred all over the country during last week’s congressional recess. Democrats and their left-wing media allies want you to believe there is a massive groundswell of opposition building against President Trump’s agenda. Not only are these demonstrations aimed at Republicans in Congress, there’s evidence they are also being aimed at conservative and Christian organizations. Don’t fall for… Read More

President Donald Trump is serious about protecting normalcy from leftist insanity. At a White House meeting Friday with the nation’s governors, President Trump directly confronted Maine’s Governor Janet Mills over her refusal to comply with his new policy keeping boys out of girls’ sports. Trump told the governor that she had better comply or her state would lose all federal funding. Gov. Mills threatened to sue the federal government, and Trump replied, “Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that.” Before the day was over, the Department of Education had launched an… Read More

Conservatives and pro-life activists have been critical of Planned Parenthood for decades. So, it’s no surprise that many on the right are hoping President Trump will defund the nation’s largest abortion business. However, it is surprising when Planned Parenthood gets criticism from the left, and especially from the New York Times. Of course, the Times put its best spin on the story, but even they could not hide the ugly truth. The Times conducted an extensive review of “clinic documents and legal filings, as well as interviews with more than 50 current and former Planned Parenthood… Read More

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky were in a heated exchange yesterday. Somebody needs to remind President Zelensky that he would already be speaking Russian if it weren’t for the United States of America and our taxpayers. He is in no position to be taking political shots at the first Republican president who just won the majority of the vote in a very long time. Zelensky also told Trump that the United States will not get one penny of any mineral resources from Ukraine. Zelensky rejected a “partnership” deal that would have given U.S. companies mining rights to Ukraine’s rare earth… Read More

Many Americans groan when they hear Hollywood is doing another reboot or remake of a famous movie. They’re often disasters because they impose a modern leftist agenda on classic stories. Now the left is remaking Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar. A new production scheduled to run this summer at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles casts a woman as Jesus. Not just any woman, but a bald “queer” woman. That’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer, and it’s blasphemy. Is there one American artist of any kind – a producer, director, actor, painter, or sculptor – who has… Read More

The Washington Swamp and its leftist allies are foaming at the mouth with rage and indignation against President Trump and Elon Musk. They just can’t believe that the little fiefdoms they have created over the decades and the billions of dollars they controlled are being systematically dismantled and taken away from them. While the left fights to stop Musk in the courtrooms around the country, it has a new strategy for the court of public opinion. They are lying in order to frighten you. They want you to be scared of the “bad orange man” and his sidekick, the “malevolent Mr. Musk.” So,… Read More

President Donald Trump ran on a promise to “drain the Swamp” and he’s doing it. He just ordered federal departments to fire “underperforming” bureaucrats currently in employment probation periods. More than 200,000 bureaucrats are “new hires” still in a one-to-two-year probationary period. As such, they do not have the protections that other government bureaucrats have that make it extremely difficult to fire them. A spokesman for the Office of Personnel Management said: “The probationary period is a continuation of the job application process, not an entitlement for permanent… Read More

The hostile media is reporting that President Trump wants to cut defense spending by 50%. That’s not what he said. Trump told reporters today that it is insane for nations to keep building nuclear weapons. If they’re ever used, they could destroy everything. President Trump would like to see the world go in another direction. He said if we could get nations to stop building nuclear weapons and engage in more effective diplomacy, we might be able to dramatically cut defense spending, even by 50%.
