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. [more...]


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. [more...]


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. [more...]


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. [more...]


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. [more...]


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. [more...]


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...]

Trump is Protecting the Second Amendment

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Reversing orders cloaked in the rhetoric of crime prevention but aimed at impeding gun ownership

A new CBS/YouGov poll shows that 70% of Americans think President Trump is keeping his campaign promises. On Friday, Mr. Trump did just that for gun rights. Calling the Second Amendment an “indispensable safeguard of security and liberty,” the president signed an executive order directing new Attorney General Pam Bondi and his other executive officers to review “all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies.” With only 30 days to do this review, it will be a tall order to track down all violations of people’s right to keep and bear arms. Pres. Trump is mainly focused on Biden administration regulations regarding “ghost” guns, zero tolerance, background checks and a national gun registry. [more...]

Price Controls on Prescription Drugs

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

In The World's Medicine Chest: How America Gained Pharmaceutical Supremacy - and How to Keep It, I explore how free markets facilitated the extraordinary pharmaceutical advances the U.S. has achieved over the past century - from life-saving vaccines to cutting-edge cancer treatments. But over the last few decades, governments the world over have chipped away at - or outright eliminated - many of the incentives that lead investors, drug manufacturers, and scientists to develop new medicines. Every European nation now levies some kind of price control on prescription drugs. And Democrats during the Biden administration enacted the very first price controls on prescription drugs through Medicare. The first tranche of price controls begin on Jan. 1, 2026 on 10 drugs under Medicare Part D. By embracing price controls, the U.S. government risks killing the innovation engine that has made this country the world's medicine chest. [more...]


Tariff Threats Take Aim at Fentanyl Trafficking

According to Dr. Robert Marbut, of the first Trump administration and Producer of Fentanyl: Death Incorporated, President Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada and China is partly aimed at combating the illicit flow of fentanyl into the U.S., where the opioid is blamed for some 70,000 overdose deaths annually. “Fentanyl is an existential threat to the U.S. unlike anything we’ve ever seen. If it takes a tariff to get the attention of Canada and Mexico to do the right thing, then that’s what we have to do." The ingredients in fentanyl are largely produced by companies in China and used by pharmaceutical companies to make legal painkillers. But a portion of those chemicals is purchased by the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels in Mexico. [more...]


FEMA Gave out Funds Violating President Trump's Guidance

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

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

FEMA tried to pull a fast one and give out funds anyway. This largesse has been used since COVID to pay off hotel franchisees who allow their facilities to be trashed by illegal aliens while being well paid by taxpayers. Too bad - they will have to re-capitalize on their own. A total fraud - and FEMA staff will learn a hard lesson on civil service employment. All IGs should be fired for allowing this and not aggressively enforcing this. [more...]


Musk, DOGE, and Washington's Unavoidable Corruption

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

While USAID was just shuttered, its story is important because it reveals the transmission belts that the Deep State uses to enlist and redirect other U.S. agencies to support the political agendas that are central to the cultural Marxist transformation at home and abroad. Until Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered the records of USAID diverting taxpayer funds to countless ideological transformation initiatives in countries all over the world, most Americans assumed the agency established by JFK more than 60 years ago was a noble force serving humanitarian needs. What has actually been going on at USAID is part of an elitist cultural Marxist agenda that has infiltrated almost all government agencies - a process known as “the long march through the institutions” - a descriptive term coined by Antonio Gramsci, a founding member and leader of the Communist Party in Italy in the 1920s. [more...]


Trump’s Three-Pronged Tariff Strategy

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

The White House is following a three-pronged tariff strategy laid out by Trump on the campaign trail and echoed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in their Senate confirmation hearings. “You should think of tariffs three ways,” Bessent said. “One will be for remedying unfair trade practices either in an industry or by a country, like steel and China. Another will be as a revenue source; and third is to use it for negotiations with countries like Mexico for the fentanyl crisis.” The tariff threats against America’s northern and southern neighbors were designed to exact concessions from these countries to help Trump address the flow of migrants and drugs across the border. [more...]


Hollywood Rages Impotently About Anti-Fascist Trump

By Mark Tapson, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center

In the wake of a recent poll which only confirmed what President Trump’s election landslide proved - that celebrities have become politically irrelevant - Hollywood continues to rage impotently against the new President with their tired, old, ineffective smears that he and his new administration are “fascists” and “Nazis.” The Left has spent every waking moment since Trump announced his presidential run back in 2015 trying to demonize him as Hitler 2.0. The coordinated media smearing of Trump as a more dangerous fascist than Benito Mussolini was so relentless and demonstrably false that it ultimately backfired; last November, voters rejected the fear-mongering propaganda and embraced a positive, hopeful movement to Make America Great Again.

The Rising Power of the Podcast

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

An interesting thing is happening in the new “Golden Age of America.” The mainstream media are quietly fading away. Although former media giants have been losing their credibility, influence, and audiences for quite a stretch of time, things really seem to have accelerated over the past couple of weeks. Thanks in large part to a whole lot of fake reporting, many left-leaning outlets had simply lost the public trust. That’s when the media vehicles of podcasting and streaming stepped up to provide a much-needed alternative to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. And what happened is quite remarkable. New media figures that were accurate, informative, and real became more powerful and more influential than their media predecessors had been. [more...]

Trump Tariffs Deter Fentanyl on the Borders

According to Dr. Robert Marbut, former homelessness czar for the first Trump administration and Producer of Fentanyl: Death Incorporated, fentanyl has killed more Americans in the past five years than all wars combined in the past 100 years. In the new documentary 'Fentanyl: Death Incorporated,' Marbut provides a detailed look at the crisis. “Fentanyl is an existential threat to the United States, unlike anything we’ve ever seen. This is different from cocaine or crack, and if it takes a tariff to get the attention of Canada and Mexico to do the right thing, then that’s what we have to do. Trump is stopping China from sending precursors; he's getting the gangs in Canada under control and forcing Mexico to rein in the cartels." [more...]


Panama Canal - A Great First Step by Secretary of State Rubio

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

Panama is cooperative - what is needed is a State Department led unit "The Panama Canal Treaty Inspection Group."

Now that grossly incompetent Anthony Blinken has been replaced by a professional, things are happening. Secretary of State Rubio did magnificently in his meeting with President Mulino of Panama, who has announced they will be ending their Belt and Road agreement with China. We’re on a good path - but a few more things are needed... [more...]


God’s Hand is Still on America

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

Many Americans have wondered where God was in allowing a very corrupt, weak, and mentally incompetent candidate, Joe Biden, to become POTUS - resulting in America suffering a radical and rapid decline. At the same time, it was difficult to understand why Trump would have to go through unprecedented difficulty during the same time. Perhaps God deemed it necessary for the American people to experience the consequences of corrupt and dark power so that they would wake up and turn to the light at the next election. By skipping a sequential second term, a four-year period in which he had to overcome immense challenges, reflect, and learn from prior mistakes, and really understand the enemy, Trump became better equipped in every way to lead and save America. It certainly appears that divine intervention thwarted Trump’s wish and conviction to serve a consecutive second term. Expect miracles so long as God’s hand remains on America. [more...]

 

Trump’s America First Trade Policy

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

On day one of the new administration, rather than any new tariffs, President Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum titled 'America First Trade Policy.' Many were quick to speculate as to why there were “no day-one tariffs” among the over twenty executive orders signed January 20th, but with the AFTP memorandum, the President did reassure that, as he made explicit throughout his campaign, tariffs will be central to his Presidency. What follows is an overview of the AFTP memorandum... [more...]


Two-Tiered Justice - Disparities in Biden and Trump Pardons

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

President Biden’s and President Trump’s pardons have generated a lot of controversy. But there are considerable differences between the two sets of pardons, with a two-tiered system of justice unfairly biased against Jan. 6 defendants. Last month, Biden pardoned his son, Hunter. And then, on his last day in office, Biden pardoned five family members. That same day, Trump pardoned 1,500 people who were convicted or facing trial for the Jan. 6 riot. The media’s coverage of these pardons has been dramatically different. [more...]


How We Beat Debanking

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

The David Horowitz Freedom Center led the way in the fight.

Everyone is talking about debanking after President Trump brought it out into the open. “I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America,” President Trump warned BoA CEO Brian Moynihan who claimed that “we welcome conservatives and have no political litmus test.” The David Horowitz Freedom Center knows that’s not true because BoA, through its Merrill Lynch subsidiary, was one of the many financial institutions that ‘debanked’ us. We led the battle against debanking, taking on financial titans worth over half a trillion dollars, bringing attention to the crisis across media outlets and emerging from it with a rare victory. [more...]


USAID is a Massive Pool of Waste and Corruption

By Cheryl Chumley, Author of God-Given or Bust

Thirty years ago, The Heritage Foundation penned a piece titled, “Abolish the Wasteful Agency for International Development,” arguing that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had failed miserably on its core mission to promote economic development at overseas spots and instead had become a cesspool of waste and corruption and more waste. That was 1995. Now it’s 2025, and not much has changed. In fact, if anything, USAID has grown even worse. According to USASpending.gov, taxpayers have shelled out billions upon billions of dollars through the years. “[It] never was intended to make the developing world dependent on international welfare,” Heritage wrote.
