Happy Liberation Day, America!

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

Break out the Grizzly cooler and fire up the Broilmaster - it’s Liberation Day! In President Trump’s words, "April 2 marks the end of the U.S. being ripped off by virtually every country in the world.” Trump’s trade agenda is a much-needed course correction after decades of deindustrialization and failed trade policies geared towards borderless corporations. Liberation Day won’t be all fun and games for the globalists. CEOs of American multinationals and foreign leaders are acting like they have been blindsided by Trump’s second term. Apparently, they are shocked that the president is actually making good on his campaign promises; after all, Trump has warned of tariffs since January. But we are accustomed to Western leaders saying things that cater to the home crowd, only to pursue global priorities at odds with the interests of their constituents. [more...]

The War is Not About Palestine

By Robert Spencer, Author of Antisemitism: History and Myth

If there was no Israel, would there really be peace?

Even at this late date, many people in the West still think "a two-state solution," with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace, will end the conflict in the Middle East. Yet Muslim clerics have for years made it clear that this is not true. A Qatari sheikh, Muhammad Al-Muraikhi, stated this plainly on Qatar TV in 2009: "We do not treat the Jews as our enemies just because they occupied Palestine," he explained, "or because they occupied a precious part of our Arab and Islamic world. We will treat the Jews as our enemies even if they return Palestine to us, because they are infidels. They rejected Allah and His messengers." [more...]

Has Hollywood Finally Decided to Celebrate and Not Eviscerate Christianity?

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

Ironic, isn't it? This past weekend, while Snow White was getting buried in an avalanche of bad reviews, bad box office, and bad karma, two films that cost a small fraction of Disney's cave-dwelling fantasy, A Working Man, and The Chosen: Last Supper were proving to be more popular and much more profitable. Long before The Chosen franchise, Roma Downey's Touched by an Angel (1994-2003) again should have shown, if anyone was paying attention, that faith-based films didn't suddenly become trendy, they always have been. Sometimes, even in Hollywood, you just gotta have faith. [more...]

When Christian Leaders Are More Concerned with What the World Thinks Than with What the Bible Says

By John G. West, Author of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CHRISTIANITY: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing - and What We Can Do About It

In my new book, I argue that embracing the very forces that endanger you has taken root among many American Christians, especially those in influential positions. It’s not a case of literal captivity with locked doors and armed guards. Instead, it’s a cultural captivity, where believers find themselves in a society that sees traditional Christian teachings as backward, divisive, or even hateful. Rather than face scorn or rejection, some Christian leaders have begun to take on the attitudes and beliefs of the broader culture. They call it relevance or open-mindedness, but I suggest that it is more like spiritual surrender. Instead of engaging with the culture, they are being swallowed by it. [more...]

Tesla Owners Never Saw This One Coming

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal - positions with large support among people on the left. Owning a Tesla is supposedly a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla owners be targeted for destruction? And who are these radical property destroyers? If we have learned anything in the last ten or fifteen years - particularly highlighted by the $2 billion destruction of national urban properties that came about after the police detention death of George Floyd in May 2025 - it is that destructive riots are not organically spontaneous. The trigger events for riots are understood well in advance, and once the trigger event happens, the riot plan gets executed and implemented. [more...]

France’s Leading Opposition Candidate Jailed and Banned

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

Democratic values are being implemented in Europe yet again. Macron pulled every dirty trick in the book to hang on to power. Now there’s yet another trick of the banana republic kind. The judge sentencing Marine Le Pen accused her of "a democratic bypass," but it’s pretty obvious who’s bypassing democracy here. I’m not Le Pen’s biggest fan, but she and her party had been steadily gaining momentum. And while I’m not an expert on French law, the issue here is that her aides were being paid with EU funds but were seen as working for her party rather than the EU. And that’s something I suspect is routine in Euro politics. [more...]

Supreme Court Decision in VanDerStok Case - Pluses and Minuses

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

A copy of the Supreme Court’s decision in the VanDerStok case is available here. This case was a regulatory issue, not a Constitutional question. This was not a Second Amendment case. The decision contains some positive news as well as some negative news. On the positive side, the court did not accept the Biden administration’s argument that AR-15 receivers could be readily converted into machine guns. On the negative side, the court accepted the arguments regarding serial numbers on gun parts and also the convertability of gun parts, though the ruling was fairly narrow. [more...]

AI is a Digital Ouija Board

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

It seems as though a lot of prominent tech experts are feeling uneasy about the possibility of AI going awry. Some have even called for a pause in AI development. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, experienced what he called a "very strange extreme [AI] vertigo." Casey Newton, former senior editor of The Verge, discovered that certain individuals who are working with AI are having nightmares about it. Something dark seems to be hovering around some of those who are involved with AI’s development. Many of us have come to realize that technology is in no way a replacement for the people in our lives. Yet many users of AI are routinely involved with replacement people in the form of AI models that produce human-like characteristics. [more...]

'Snow White' Gets Buried Under Avalanche of Bad Reviews

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

Maybe the Evil Queen knows why Disney keeps re-making animated classics with annoying and box-office bomb-worthy live action flicks.

When you cast a progressive, Trump-hating, Colombian actress (Rachel Zegler) as the live-action Snow White, you might just be really dopey. Ms. Zegler has not been shy about her dislike for the 1937 'Snow White' classic for which she would not be drawing a paycheck from Disney without. And her hatred of all things Trump and MAGA ("They should never know peace" and "harm should befall Trump and his supporters"). Nor her love of all things Palestinian and presumably their representative, Hamas. But Ms. Zegler, who by the way, can truly act and sing, is not the sole reason that yet another Disney live-action remake bombed at the box-office. [more...]

How Christian Universities Crash and Burn

By John G. West, Author of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CHRISTIANITY: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing - and What We Can Do About It

Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and many other universities were founded explicitly as Protestant Christian institutions, only to devolve over time into something else. So, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Evangelical Protestants in America started again, creating a new generation of colleges and seminaries that they hoped would avoid the mistakes of their predecessors. But as the current controversy over Wheaton College attests, history seems to be repeating itself... and the problem reaches far beyond Wheaton. [more...]

Judges are Wrong to Obstruct President Trump from Deporting Illegal Immigrants

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

President Trump is facing an important separation of powers case with federal judge James E. Boasberg, who is trying to block his decision and action to deport Venezuelan immigrants, including many Tren de Aragua gang members. In justifying his deportation position, Trump cited the 1898 the Alien Enemies Act, a statute originally established during the Spanish-American War. Trump’s Department of Justice can defend the right of the President to carry out deportation actions simply based on the fact that the President, as the country’s chief executive, has the duty to uphold his oath of office to enforce the law, as well as to carry out a key campaign promise. [more...]

Stripping Russia off from China

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

Nixon/Kissinger tried to strip China off from the Soviet Union in 1972. In hindsight, I'm not sure that it worked that well; this time it may be different.

In 1972, President Nixon took his historic trip to China. Much of the trip was “teed up” by National Security Advisor/Secretary of State Kissinger. The strategy to strip off China from the Soviet Union was not illogical. Both Communist states almost came to a nuclear exchange with each other in their border clashes of the late 1960s. Did the strategy to strip off China from the Soviet Union work in the short or long run? Maybe and no. In the long run, we enabled the rise of the mortal Chinese threat we face today. In the short term, maybe it played a difference. [more...]

Hamas in America

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

It's not a protest movement; It’s an invading enemy.

Many House Democrats rallied in support of Mahmoud Khalil - an organizer in a Columbia University terrorist movement that called for “Death to America” and “the total eradication of Western civilization” Half the House Democrat delegation, the party’s Senate minority leader, its former VP nominee in 2016, and two of its top 3 presidential candidates in 2020 now support the “rights” of this alien enemy to pursue its agendas of destroying Israel and exterminating its Jews, and destroying its indispensable ally, America, along with the rest of the civilized world. That’s why David Horowitz’s message is that “Mahmoud Khalil and his followers are self-declared enemies of America and should be treated as such.” [more...]

Does Congress Need to Impeach Judges to Make Them Behave?

By Louie Gohmert, Fmr. Texas Congressman

The Constitution offers a ‘good behavior’ remedy that Congress hasn’t used.

Certainly, judges can be impeached. We had two cases for impeachment of federal judges while I was on the Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives. But shouldn’t Congress be able to subpoena a judge to determine if conduct is outside the realm of good behavior? We have seen federal judges in January 6 cases seemingly aspiring to the level of Judge Roy Bean justice. Would “good behavior” be violated when a judge describes a defendant’s conduct as “insurrection” during sentencing when that defendant had not been charged with it and not convicted of it? There seem to be numerous questions of judicial “good behavior” raised during the January 6 cases. Though the Executive and Legislative Branches are constantly flexing their checks and balances on the other, the Judiciary continues to claim that they, and they alone, should regulate their own personnel when it comes to misconduct. However, when the highest court in the land does not enforce its own rules of ethics, it leaves the public wondering, “Who does?” [more...]

Concealed Carry Permit Holders Stop Active Shootings

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Not only do permit holders succeed in stopping active shooters at a higher rate, but law enforcement officers face significantly greater risks when intervening. Our research found police were nearly six times more likely to be killed and seventeen percent more likely to be wounded than armed civilians. Those numbers paint a fuller picture than the FBI’s crime statistics, which fail to include many of the defensive gun uses my organization has cataloged. [more...]

How Stockholm Syndrome Christianity Hinders Scientific Progress

By John G. West, Author of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CHRISTIANITY: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing - and What We Can Do About It

When Christians in science embrace scientific materialism, they mislead their fellow believers and hinder scientific progress. Theistic evolution is the attempt to reconcile belief in God with the standard evolutionary account of life’s origins. Science thrives and proceeds on disagreement and vibrant, open debate: If you don’t have the right to say the emperor has no clothes, if you don’t have the right to basically argue for dissenting views, you get static ideology, not science. You don’t actually progress into a better understanding of the world. [more...]

DOGE, Cultural and Spiritual Revival Will Make America Great Again

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

To Make America Great Again, every American citizen should know what the main driver of America’s success was in becoming the world’s superpower economically and militarily by the early 20th century. America’s greatness then was primarily attributable to its spiritually grounded culture and its form of government - a unique constitutional republic that empowered the people and the states more than elites and the federal government. American greatness cannot be achieved without a spiritual awakening and cultural revival. The critics who might argue that we should not set the clock back have it wrong. It is essential to get the time right, synchronized with the U.S. Constitution, which is based on natural law and limits the reach of government and empowers the people. [more...]

The Capital of Palestine?

By Jesse Petrilla, Author of If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them

Paterson, NJ Mayor Andre Sayegh declared that his city is the “capital of Palestine” and “the fourth holiest city in the world” during the kickoff to Ramadan last month in the city with the highest Muslim population in the Garden State. “Paterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America,” he later added. These is only one example of many insane stories that I cover at length in my new book, If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them.

Concealed Carriers Do a Better Job of Stopping Active Shooters Than Police

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

We found that concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police.

You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president. In non-gun-free zones, where civilians are legally able to carry guns, concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police, CPRC found in a deep dive into active shooter scenarios between 2014 and 2023. [more...]

Looking at the DOD Processes in a Totally Different Way

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

The JCIDS process was considered to be the Mount Olympus of a mature, repeatable process in the largest bureaucracy in the world, the Department of Defense. JCIDS’ genesis was Secretary Robert McNamara, the Defense Secretary during Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Secretary McNamara and his “Whiz Kids” were going to provide rigor and process in System Development and Acquisition for the Atomic and Space Age, contain the Soviets, and simultaneously manage this wonderful little war going on in South Vietnam. How did that turn out? The Trump Administration is conducting a total re-make of all the U.S. Government. It’s a great thing. The government needs to be changed in its entirety; except for some occasional successes, for the most part, it's not working in rhythm with the Constitution and the American people. [more...]

Mayor Johnson Terrorizes Chicago to Protect Illegal Alien Criminals

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

The sanctuary city for illegal alien criminals is unsafe for everyone else.

While Mayor Brandon Johnson showed up to defend Chicago’s sanctuary city policies before Congress, federal immigration authorities were expelling Prince Knox, a ‘refugee’ affiliated with the Revolutionary United Front, which chopped off the arms of tens of thousands of people with machetes to take over and provide them with free health care, back to his native Sierra Leone. Prince Knox was one of the many illegal aliens, criminals and assorted monsters protected by Chicago’s ‘Welcoming City’ ordinance and the Illinois Trust Act which form its sanctuary system. And Chicago’s sheltering of illegal alien criminals has forced ICE to carry out ‘raids’ to get them. [more...]

Impeachment is the Remedy for Judges Who Usurp Authority

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

In a recent blatantly illegal ruling, an Obama-appointed federal judge interfered with the legitimate powers of the president. In his ruling, District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration not to deport a group of Venezuelan nationals who pose a danger to our country. In my legal opinion, if ever there were a case in which a judge was deserving of impeachment, this is it. Unfortunately, activist judges have increasingly been intruding upon executive authority. Judge Boasberg’s ruling is one of the most egregious examples of the violation of the fundamental constitutional principle of separation of powers - that crucial system of checks and balances between the three branches of the federal government.

Regime Evangelical Francis Collins Stands Up for DEI, Waste and Lethal Research on Fetuses

By John G. West, Author of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CHRISTIANITY: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing - and What We Can Do About It

On Friday, former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins appeared at a “Stand Up for Science” political rally in Washington, D.C. Collins strummed his guitar and led people in song as rally-goers blew soap bubbles in front of him. Behind him were people carrying signs bearing slogans like “Trump Trashes Science,” “He Musk Go,” and “Diabolical Oligarch Grifting Efficiently." In my book, I write a lot about Collins - on his funding of the harvesting of body parts from late-term aborted babies for research, his funding of doctors and hospitals that do transgender treatments for children, and of course his COVID record. For nearly two decades, Collins has been the most prominent - and powerful - evangelical Christian scientist in America. He sure has changed; the Collins headlined rally was in dead earnest, and it highlights the serious challenges we are facing if we want to restore credibility to government-funded science in America. [more...]

The Tragedy of Francis Collins

Capturing the ISIS-K Abbey Gate Suspect

By Jesse Petrilla, Author of If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them

During my tour in 2012, I was involved in handing over a shipping container filled with captured weapons to the Afghan government. The story is mentioned in my book, where I unsuccessfully lobbied the Major in charge to destroy the container, arguing “You know these are going right back to the Taliban as soon as we leave, right?” Without hesitation, he responded, “Oh yes, I know.” Now, those weapons are in enemy hands. It was widely understood almost a decade prior to our chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that the government would collapse as soon as we left. Capturing the ISIS-K Abbey Gate bombing suspect sends a clear message that we are not going to let attacks against our troops go unanswered, and it should only be the beginning. Congress needs to hold widespread hearings on what happened throughout the two-decade war.

The Importance of Concealed Carry Reciprocity

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Over 86% of police chiefs and sheriffs support national reciprocity.

Imagine a single woman driving across state lines at night, hoping she won’t become a crime victim if her car breaks down... or a truck driver as he travels across the country with valuable merchandise. They can quickly run into trouble in states such as California, Illinois, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, or Oregon - among the 10 states that don’t recognize concealed handgun permits from other states. Similarly, nine states don’t grant or make it difficult for non-residents to get permits. A bill before Congress would change that and let people who can legally carry concealed handguns in their states carry them across state lines. [more...]

Trump's Transparency - The Light that Exposes the Shadows

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

In the age of political deception, where backroom deals and media-driven narratives have replaced honesty, Donald J. Trump stands alone in his unrelenting transparency. His return to the national stage is not just about politics; it's about accountability. It is about forcing those who have thrived in the dark corners of Washington to face the one thing they fear most: the truth. While Trump shines a light on corruption, the swamp creatures scatter. He demands accountability; they demand silence. He speaks directly to the people; they hide behind scripted media talking points. Let’s break down exactly why Trump’s transparency is the most important weapon in American politics today - and why it terrifies the political class. [more...]

America’s Premier Media Expert Blasts The View’s Joy Behar

Recently, in a jaw-dropping display of bigotry, The View co-host Joy Behar launched a vicious on-air attack against tech visionary and immigrant entrepreneur Elon Musk. Behar smeared the South African-born innovator as a "foreigner, foreign agent, enemy of the United States," even suggesting Musk was "pro-apartheid" simply because he grew up in South Africa. Pro-apartheid? That's like claiming every German is pro-Holocaust or assuming every Israeli supports bombing civilians. It's absurd - and, ironically, precisely the kind of sweeping racial stereotype The View and its audience claim to abhor. America's premier media expert, Michael Levine, wasted no time condemning Behar's unhinged tirade. [more...]

Pro-Ukrainian/Transgender Zealots Swarm Vice President JD Vance and His Family, Again

This is the second time, the Rent-A-Mob faction of the Blue Team tried to intimidate Vice President Vance. A few days ago, it was while his family was on a ski vacation in Vermont. So, what does Ukraine have to do with transgender rights (the protestors were carrying both flags)? I don’t see the connection, unless it’s the same group that’s paying these thugs. And based on experience, it’s very likely these perverts are getting paid, and getting paid by the same group(s). Does the funding trace to Soros? To ActBlue? To one of the dried-up NGOs that was receiving USAID, EPA, National Endowment for Democracy, or HUD money? Yes - likely to all of them. [more...]

The violent occupation of Columbia by terrorist supporters led to riots, vandalism, assaults, terrorist propaganda and attacks on Jewish students. Instead of taking action, Columbia continued to negotiate with the terrorist supporters at the expense of Jewish students. Now the United States is done negotiating with terrorists. [more...]

Why We Must End the Ukraine Grift and Rebuild Our Own Nation

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

The idea that America should endlessly fund foreign wars while our own country is crumbling - that’s the lie we’ve been sold for decades, and it’s time to break free from it. The reality is simple: America’s government, media, and corporate class have been running a Ukraine money laundering scheme while ignoring our very real domestic crises. This war has become an excuse to drain taxpayer funds, enrich global elites, and sustain the military-industrial complex, all while ignoring the needs of the American people. The Ukraine money pit has been nothing but a scam on the American taxpayer. Let’s start with the hard numbers. [more...]

Can DOGE Audits Save U.S. From Debt Market Collapse?

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

The American people can be sure that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that was reactivated by Trump is over the target. And it’s no surprise that many of the most vocal critics of Musk and DOGE have much to hide from their gaming political opportunities associated with direct and indirect access to huge sums of taxpayer funds. Democrats' opposition to DOGE markedly increased after USAID was shuttered following investigations and audits that uncovered the records of USAID diverting taxpayer funds to countless programs in countries all over the world that supported unmistakable patterns of an ideological and political agenda totally out of step with the majority of Americans and the needs of the people in USAID target countries. [more...]

CNN and MSNBC on the Decline

By Michael Levine, America's Leading Media Expert

Both CNN and MSNBC have experienced significant declines in their ratings. CNN: The network's primetime audience decreased by 47%, dropping from 754,000 viewers the week before the election to 398,000 viewers in the week ending November 24, 2024. Similarly, MSNBC's primetime audience fell by 53% during the same period, decreasing from 1.34 million viewers to 632,000. ​These declines have prompted internal changes within both networks. MSNBC has canceled Joy Reid's show "The ReidOut" as part of a significant restructuring led by the network's new president, Rebecca Kutler. At CNN, CEO Mark Thompson announced 200 job cuts in TV and the hiring of 200 digital-focused staff, aiming to generate $1 billion in digital revenue by 2030.

Why Are Our Campuses Seething with Antisemitism?

By Prof. John M. Ellis, Author of A Short History Of Relations Between Peoples

Short answer: That’s the way radical professors want it.

The scale of support on college campuses for militant antisemitism and even for Hamas barbarism has alarmed most Americans, but there’s something else here that ought to trouble us, too: a startling ignorance of the most basic facts of Middle Eastern history. These are college students being educated on renowned campuses - yet they know virtually nothing about the matter they are protesting. How can that be? Let’s begin by asking what a serious education about the conflict in the Middle East would look like. [more...]

A Gov. Agency Smeared FrontPageMag as a Hate Group for Writing About Oct 7

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

In the weeks after the horrifying Islamic terrorist attacks of Oct 7, FrontPage Magazine provided compelling commentary, analysis and investigative journalism. We mourned with the people of Israel and the American victims of the attacks, and we maintained our commitment to telling the unflinching truth about the causes and origins of the crisis the way few other magazines would. After 9/11, David Horowitz led the way in calling Islamic terrorism what it was and taking the fight to college campuses. FrontPage Magazine featured the work of early truthtellers about Islamic terrorism like Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, Jamie Glazov, Frank Gaffney, Bosch Fawstin, Christine Douglass-Williams, Philip Haney, and many others. And we still do. Leftist organizations couldn’t disprove us, so instead they tried to cancel us. [more...]

English is now the Official Language

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

President Trump settles the dystopia of multilingualism which in the end, tore down the greatest country in the world into a contentious "Balkanization."

A common language is a requirement for a great nation. That doesn’t mean we have to extinguish other languages or our family heritage, it just means all citizens have to converge upon a common, standard language. It’s best for the whole society, for business, for peace, for a successful civil society. President Clinton opened the gates of chaos with his August 2000, Executive Order 13166 - Improving Access to Services for Persons With Limited English Proficiency. Clinton’s virtue signaling greased the skids toward de-ranged Woke-ism where a Tower of Babel was created to break apart society. DEI was thus emboldened to go on a rampage. President Trump did the right thing and brought all Americans together. [more...]

House Oversight Hearing Slams Inflation Reduction Act, But Ignores China’s Role

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

In a House Oversight subcommittee hearing on Feb. 26, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was hit with the usual swipes from detractors, with some calling it the “green scam,” but China’s solar company benefits were never mentioned. “We kind of can’t lead on clean energy when we are dependent on China and we are getting our solar panels from them,” said Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) during the hearing titled Leading the Charge: Opportunities to Strengthen America’s Energy Reliability. That was the extent to which China was mentioned at all in the hearing. No one brought up the fact that of all the companies that have invested in new solar projects in the U.S. because of the IRA tax incentives, only one country stands out. [more...]

RFK Jr. Can Breathe New Life Into HHS

By Sally Pipes, Author of The World's Medicine Chest

Speaking to agency staffers last week, newly installed Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. insisted that "nothing is off limits" in his fight against chronic disease. It's an encouraging message. HHS is in desperate need of modernization. To see how HHS's inefficiency and sluggishness have undermined the health of Americans, look no further than the Food and Drug Administration, one of the regulatory agencies under the aegis of HHS. Among other things, the FDA is charged with evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new medicines. [more...]

The Most Powerful Evangelical Christian Scientist in America

By John G. West, Author of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CHRISTIANITY: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing - and What We Can Do About It

For nearly two decades, geneticist Francis Collins has been the most prominent - and powerful - evangelical Christian scientist in America. Collins has been celebrated by many of his fellow evangelicals because of his acceptance by the secular establishment. But I think those Christians might have been wise to reflect on why the establishment has been so approving of Collins. When he originally was appointed as NIH Director by Barack Obama, some worried “that his outspoken Christian faith would influence his leadership. But in 2019 the journal Science noted that “His religion never became an issue - he followed Obama’s order to loosen rules for stem cell research, which some Christians oppose, and has defended fetal tissue research despite criticism from antiabortion groups.”  [more...]

Time to Administer DOGE to Medicare, Medicaid

By Sally Pipes, Author of The World's Medicine Chest

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is setting its sights on fraud and abuse within Medicare and Medicaid. It's about time. The two government programs have been cesspools of malfeasance, incompetence, and duplicity for too long. And the cost of all this corruption and waste has grown at a staggering clip in recent years. For starters, consider that both programs publish an annual estimate of how much taxpayer money they spend on "improper payments." [more...]

DOGE Requires Rethinking, Reform and New Initiatives Before U.S. Debt Market Collapses

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

Early DOGE findings suggest that crime and theft of taxpayer dollars in the U.S. today is the worst of any country in history. That DOGE is routing out all this fraud and misallocation of resources is good and necessary, but like the withdrawal that the drug addict goes through to get healthy, the United States may have to pass through extraordinary pain and upheaval to regain stability and genuine economic health. And as DOGE digs up and uncovers more, and this truth comes out, investor confidence in the U.S. debt market may get rocked. DOGE’s revelations of waste and fraud in U.S. government spending are necessary - forcing major reform of government spending, but it’s likely to cause some U.S bond buyers to withdraw from the market due to a loss of confidence in the near term.

Parkland Shooting Victim Dad Andy Pollack Still Victimized

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Being in the public eye brings many challenges, and the Pollack family knows this all too well. In 2018, they lost their daughter, Meadow, in the horrific shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. This devastating event changed their lives forever, and they dedicated their lives to speaking out for school safety and working with law enforcement. But since then, Andrew Pollack and his son, Hunter, have faced relentless harassment and threats. While people will likely know Andrew from his frequent fights over school safety, few realize the personal cost this fight has entailed. [more...]

Critical Race Theory Is an Inversion of History

By Prof. John M. Ellis, Author of A Short History Of Relations Between Peoples

Tribalism and racism were universal until Britons and Americans developed a new way of thinking.

It’s a tribute of sorts to critical race theory’s success that the Trump administration will make its eradication a priority. The Biden administration had quietly implemented policies throughout the federal government based on this theory, and it is being taught in colleges and schools throughout the country. It has overrun much of the corporate world, and it has even secured a place in the training of many professions. The accusations made in closed training sessions are astonishingly venomous: Arrogant white supremacy is ubiquitous; white rage results when that supremacy is challenged; whites hold money and power because they stole it from other races; systemic racism and capitalism keep the injustices going.

There Won't Be Peace in Ukraine

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

In recent years a conviction has taken hold among some on the right, usually held by the left, that wars were an unnatural state of affairs that would not exist without conspiracies by the military-industrial complex, profiteering defense contractors, warmongers, covert interests looking to spread chaos, and everyone and everything except the actual causes of wars. Most wars are fought to seize territory. Denying one of the most basic patterns of human history is an ideological fantasy. Hate the players like Putin or Zelensky, but the game is an old one that goes back hundreds of years. And it isn’t getting resolved today, tomorrow or a hundred years from now unless everyone dies.

Deep State Money Laundering on an Industrial Scale

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

We thought it was Haiti, Ukraine, and other places... now it's looking like much of it was straight from the U.S. Government.

As we purge Federal Law Enforcement and the U.S. Government (and there are now unconfirmed reports of FBI Director Kash Patel leading raids on the homes of corrupt officials), we need to know more about the money laundering by U.S. government agencies. We knew the corruption was bad, but this money laundering is staggering - much of it used to shape narratives and silence opponents, including U.S. citizens. So, every citizen needs to brush up and be familiar with money laundering laws and regulations. If we cull out the money laundering, imagine how much more efficient and smaller the U.S. Government can be and perhaps the accumulated U.S. Government debt can be paid down at a rate we never thought possible.

China’s Solar Companies in Southeast Asia Whacked With 100%+ Tariffs

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

Some Chinese solar manufacturers operating in Southeast Asia saw their tariff rates increase on Feb. 18 following a preliminary ruling by the U.S. Department of Commerce in an anti-dumping and countervailing duty case brought by U.S.-based solar producers. The duties impact several major Chinese solar brands, including Jinko Solar and Trina Solar, as well as Vietnamese manufacturers that Commerce believes have been circumventing tariffs by importing components from mainland China for final assembly. Mainland China remains subject to Section 201 tariffs on solar imports. [more...]

Congress Eyes Regulating Drug Ads, But It Won't Mean Lower Prices

By Sally Pipes, Author of The World's Medicine Chest

"Knowing what something costs before buying it is just common sense." That's how Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, justified a bill he introduced in January to require drug companies to include a medicine's list price in their advertisements. Unfortunately, his Drug-price Transparency for Consumers, or DTC, Act - co-sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. - would only make drug prices more confusing for consumers. And it would draw attention away from the middlemen in the drug supply chain who are responsible for escalating costs at the pharmacy. [more...]

Illegal Immigrants Have a Friend in AOC

By Michael Levine, America's Leading Media Expert

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) continues to make headlines - not for championing American citizens, but for actively aiding those who have entered the country illegally. The latest has the leader of "The Squad" doubling down on her defiance of U.S. immigration laws by hosting a "Know Your Rights with ICE" webinar, advising illegal immigrants on how to avoid deportation efforts under the renewed enforcement policies of the Trump administration. And she didn't stop there. Ocasio-Cortez's government-funded website offers unauthorized residents step-by-step guidance on how to dodge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). [more...]

Trump’s FBI Reforms Need to Include Ending Its Data Distortions on Crime

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

The FBI doesn’t just have a transparency problem; they’re actually distorting data to skew important crime statistics.

There is a lot of attention on the Trump administration removing dozens of Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials involved in charging 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, but one area of politicization in the FBI and DOJ that isn’t getting attention is crime data. The ability to manipulate and distort crime data allows those distorting the data to control the political debate. We have found many more missed cases and are keeping an updated list. As such, the CPRC numbers tell a much different story. [more...]

USAID’s Taliban Money Laundering Scheme

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

Bags of hundred-dollar bills traded through a terrorist bank.

In 2022, the DA Afghanistan Bank showed off photos of $40 million in stacks of hundred-dollar bills sitting on the tarmac at Kabul International Airport. The Taliban-controlled central bank described this as one of three shipments of “humanitarian aid” amounting to over $100 million. DAB, Afghanistan’s central bank, was headed by Noor Ahmad Agha, a “specially designated terrorist” who had been named as the “financier of bomb-making,” including the IEDs which had killed over 1,000 American soldiers, and sending money to a sanctioned figure was illegal. Despite that, someone had sent a massive fortune in U.S. cash to the Taliban’s terror bank. [more...]

Throwing Gold Bars Off the Sinking Biden Administration

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

DOGE rides toward the sounds of the Deep State slush fund cannons.

EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin called it what it is - the Biden Regime EPA was intentionally throwing “gold bars” (our money) off the 'Titanic' in their last few days of frenzied hate and discontent. The $20 billion dollars was nothing but a slush fund to for the dark web of non-profits to be used to fight the Trump Administration. Yes, these funds can be “clawed back” and returned to the Treasury. The federal budget legal term is “de-obligate” and for any funds that were “expensed,” i.e. invoiced and/or actually spent, by the non-profits, they need to get ready for a notice of payment due.

Reflections on Washington, Lincoln, and Trump on Presidents Day

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

What a difference four weeks makes (since Trump’s inauguration) regarding the state of the nation on Presidents Day. A year ago, the American people were reeling from their freedoms, rights, and opportunities being brazenly stripped away by the federal government and its administrative deep state. Most troubling a year ago was the reality of over 1,000 political prisoners in the United States. Presidents’ Day 2025 takes on particular significance because not only did President Trump free the J6 political prisoners as his first order of business, but he has done more than any prior president to forestall the outcomes tied to the specific warnings of Presidents’ Day heroes George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

China "Owns" America’s Generic Drug Supply Chain, U.S. China Commission Says

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

It’s the most well-known secret on Capitol Hill: China owns the American generic drug supply chain. Basic thyroid or blood pressure medications might finally be put into pill form in an Indian lab and sold under an Indian brand like Cipla. But the organic compounds, or key starting materials, mostly come from China, which is also a key supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). As a result, the U.S. generic drug market is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese and Indian drug makers. “We are losing badly on pharmaceuticals,” said Michael Kuiken, a commissioner for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. The commission held a day-long hearing on Thursday, Feb. 6 titled "Made in China 2025: Who is Winning." [more...]

The Dems' Made-Up 'Constitutional Crisis'

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

In the decades-old tradition of leftists and fringe radicals, a mind massage of the public psyche is once again in the works. This time, propaganda is being disseminated in the form of an endless repetition of a falsely scripted phrase, which was likely created via focus groups. Like the past not-so-catchy “existential threat to democracy” slogan that droned on and on in an effort to undermine President Trump’s reelection bid, Democrats and their media allies have an old new phrase with which to program people’s minds: the equally vapid “constitutional crisis.” However, the real crisis that our country is facing is a fiscal one. A little clarification of the words “deficit” and “debt” is in order, - two words that are routinely and unfortunately incorrectly used interchangeably. [more...]
