Supreme Court Just Gave Mail-In Ballot Safeguards a Chance

By John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center

The Supreme Court's decision to stay the injunction blocking President Trump's March executive order on mail-in ballots gives voters something they are clamoring for: greater confidence in election integrity. A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that, by a 52% to 34% margin, likely voters say the government has not done enough to prevent election cheating. Even more striking, voters say by nearly two to one that widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of this fall's congressional elections. [more...]

Blue State's Green Energy Push Threatens Iconic 'Sacred' Food Source

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

When the Trump administration moved in January 2025 to pause new offshore-wind leasing and review federal wind permits, it cited, among other things, the need to protect marine life and maintain "a robust fishing industry for future generations." The pause offered Massachusetts and federal regulators a chance to reconsider whether industrial construction belongs near one of the region's most important marine habitats: Cox's Ledge. Instead, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell celebrated in June when Democratic-appointed federal judges invalidated the Trump administration’s wind-permitting pause. [more...]

Feminist Women and their Toxic Love Affair with Islam

By Prof. Janice Fiamengo, Author of The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself

In a recent incident, New York Governor Kathy Hochul donned a hijab when visiting an Islamic Center in New York to speak to Muslim constituents. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) did the same about three months back. Their actions indicate a deference to Islam that seems decidedly out of step with their aggressive claims about gender equality (and indeed about female supremacism). Feminist women in the West exhibit a toxic love affair with Islam that demonstrates how their rhetoric about women's empowerment is ultimately hollow. Nowhere is this more evident than in their eagerness to wear the hijab in the company of Muslim men. Such feminists will destroy themselves and their country in their eagerness to proclaim their pro-Islamic deference. [more...]

9/10... 9/11 and The Golden Age of Trump

By Todd Starnes, Author of THE GOLDEN AGE: How Trump Saved America

Being a member of the media in talk radio is a blessing and also tough. I was at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks - literally reporting from the pile. I also covered the rise of the new Freedom Tower for years at my previous network. The assassination of Charlie Kirk happened during my live radio show. There is a chapter in THE GOLDEN AGE: How Trump Saved America about the impact Charlie had and how it still resonates on the first anniversary of his untimely death. The Golden Age is upon us... post-9/11... post-Charlie... and we're still learning every day from both tragedies. [more...]

A 1957 Dollar is Worth $171 Today

By Kerry Lutz, Founder of the Financial Survival Network, Economist

Same dollar. Same 69 years. The only difference is whether you spent the dividend check or let it ride. I turned 69 this year, which means I've been watching the dollar get mugged in broad daylight since 1957. So, I built something - not a book, not a podcast episode, an actual interactive tool. It's called the Dollar Time Machine, and the concept is stupidly simple: pick a year, pick an amount, and it tells you what that money was actually worth then versus now - measured against everyday prices, housing, gold, silver, the Dow, the S&P 500, and even Bitcoin. I set the default year to 1957... not because it's historically significant; but because it's the year I showed up, and I wanted to see the truth in one place. [more...]

 

L.A. Media Expert Calls Officials "Insane" Over Street-Food Health Hazards

By Michael Levine, Public Relations Expert, Author of Authentic PR

There is a disturbing report detailing thousands of public health complaints involving street-food vendors across Los Angeles County. According to the California Post, a previously unreleased 662-page government dossier contains 9,746 complaints filed between 2023 and early 2026. The allegations reportedly include a dog eating meat from a vendor's bag before it was served, cockroaches crawling from a food truck, mice near open salsa, raw meat sitting unrefrigerated in the heat, and people urinating around cooking equipment. These complaints describe conditions that sound less like a major American city and more like a public-health nightmare. Yet officials who know about these dangers appear unwilling to act. That is not compassion. It is insanity. [more...]

Why People Commit Terrorism

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

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 upon us, we must revisit this subject, no matter how painful. Apart from the fact that terror icons like Osama bin Laden and Yasser Arafat were wildly wealthy men, economic inequality does not drive people to plow vehicles into a crowd of Christmas shoppers or slaughter a sleeping family. Only blind ideological hatred does that. No matter how terrorists and their apologists want to dress it up, terrorism is never just or justifiable, and its innocent victims are never responsible. It is always and everywhere a murderous cruelty born of a bottomless, sick hatred that is a toxic blend of the psychological, ideological, and satanic. [more...]

If a Terrorist Nuked a US City, Are We Really Prepared?

By Geoffrey Simmons, Community Emergency Response Team, Author of OPPENHEIMER'S DEMON: Nuclear Terror... and the Race to Save a City

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 fast approaches, we must wake up to the possibility of another attack. Our nation's major metropolitan areas have detailed community response plans for hurricanes, forest fires, and other natural disasters. But in my decades in the field, I have noticed a worrisome gap: pre-disaster community planning for a nuclear event such as a terrorist plot. To fill several gaps in our current level of readiness, the federal government's old civil defense plans, terminated in 1994, need to be resurrected and modernized. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) classes, overseen by FEMA, need to be mandatory in schools. Depending on community voluntary participation is not nearly enough. [more...]

Feminist Women and their Toxic Love Affair with Islam

By Prof. Janice Fiamengo, Author of The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself

In a recent incident, New York Governor Kathy Hochul donned a hijab when visiting an Islamic Center in New York to speak to Muslim constituents. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) did the same about three months back. Their actions indicate a deference to Islam that seems decidedly out of step with their aggressive claims about gender equality (and indeed about female supremacism).

Feminist women in the West exhibit a toxic love affair with Islam that demonstrates how their rhetoric about women's empowerment is ultimately hollow. Nowhere is this more evident than in their eagerness to wear the hijab in the company of Muslim men. 

Devout Muslims believe that a woman should cover her hair as a form of modesty, on the assumption that a woman's hair is sexually arousing to men and therefore should not be displayed in public.

Why would sexually liberated western women be in favor of the hijab? These are the "My body, my choice" proponents, the ones who scold western men for allegedly attempting to "police" what women wear. They are the same feminist women who march in so-called "Slut Walks" to celebrate women's right to dress as skimpily and revealingly as they wish without censure or assault.

Meanwhile, in Islamic countries such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, women are arrested, beaten, raped, and killed for refusing to wear the hijab, or for wearing it improperly. Why would any western feminist support that for a moment? Yet they do.

But their actions make sense when we understand that western feminism, long influenced by Marxist and other anti-Western and anti-colonial ideologies, prefers Islam to Christianity. Feminists deliberately align themselves with the values of a people who excoriate America and wish to destroy it because feminists believe that America is the worst, most oppressive country in the world, a white supremacist colonizer nation that deserves to be brought low. Such feminists will destroy themselves and their country in their eagerness to proclaim their pro-Islamic deference. [more...]

After Canada Impasse, Mexico Quietly Left Washington Empty Handed, But Reiterates Section 232 Tariff Goals

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

Mexico's top trade diplomat, Marcelo Ebrard, was in Washington for several days last week [from Aug. 24 to Aug. 26] but quietly left empty-handed on Wednesday. Ebrard's trip followed the now infamous Canada trade impasse. Despite that very public blow up in negotiations, Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum said last weekend, prior to Ebrard's visit, that she was "optimistic" of a deal and reiterated that Mexico's goal is also to lower the Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum and automotive. Just like Canada. The concern for many in the U.S. was if Mexico would get a similar tariff reprieve offered to the Canadians. USTR has long labeled Mexico as the easier trading partner, while Canada has decisively been labeled the more belligerent, with Trump calling them "nasty" – a term he has never used to describe the Mexican side.

Dolly and an American Dream for All

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

With Dolly's passing, we are once again reminded of the beauty, dignity, and grace of those individuals who have had the opportunity to pursue a dream that is so uniquely American. It's a dream built on Western values that lifted an illiterate Tennessee sharecropper's daughter from the humblest of circumstances to the most unimaginable of heights. And it's a reminder that those values that must be preserved if we are to continue passing that dream on to future generations. [more...]

Michigan AG Urges Jews to Sacrifice "Survival" to Elect Abdul El-Sayed

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

"Sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people"

Some endorsements are so bad that they qualify as anti-endorsements. And I can't think of any endorsement worse than the one that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish and said that she couldn't attend the state Dem convention because of fears for her safety, just offered Abdul El-Sayed and her party at the Michigan Jewish Democratic Convention. Abandon "survival" and commit suicide on the theory that electing Abdul El-Sayed and giving Dems a Senate majority will save the planet? [more...]

AI is Coming for You - But in a Good Way

By Kerry Lutz, Founder of the Financial Survival Network, Economist

For the last three years, we've been warned that artificial intelligence is coming for our jobs. That framing misses the bigger story. AI is coming for your wasted time, your repetitive work and the $300-an-hour task that should never have required a $300-an-hour human being in the first place. That may turn out to be one of the greatest productivity booms of our lifetimes. [more...]

Moral Relativism Made Norms Optional, Let Communism In

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

The news of late has been filled with stories about election wins here in the United States for socialist (aka, communist) candidates. It wasn't that long ago that a majority of people in our country would have considered it preposterous for a major American political party to openly advocate Marxist governance. But here we are. Many in our nation were already aware of how detrimental such policies were and where they would eventually lead. A major factor in the societal equation is the collapse of several of our country's foundational pillars. The pillars were actually displaced over time by a distinctly different worldview known as moral relativism. [more...]

If a Terrorist Nuked a U.S. City, Are We Really Prepared? By Geoffrey Simmons

If a Terrorist Nuked a U.S. City,

Are We Really Prepared?

By Geoffrey Simmons

Our nation’s major metropolitan areas have detailed community response plans for hurricanes, forest fires, and other natural disasters. But in my decades in the field, I have noticed a worrisome gap: pre-disaster community planning for a nuclear event such as a terrorist plot.

In April 2010 President Obama told the 47-country Nuclear Security Summit, “Two decades after the end of the Cold War, we face a cruel irony of history—the risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up.” A May 17, 2026, UN News article by Conor Lennon concurs, stating that the threat of nuclear terrorism is higher than ever.

The theft of 133 commercial grade, uranium dioxide tablets in Tajikistan in 2021 remains unsolved. Some believe terrorists are planning a radioactive dirty bomb. That’s the low-tech scenario, which would be bad. But the higher tech scenario is the greater threat: terrorists detonating a compact tactical nuclear bomb in a US city.

Imagine you and your family are home, and a flash of light floods the room. Your vision is temporarily blurred. Your home starts shaking as if a major earthquake just struck. Next, a giant sonic boom ruptures your eardrums, leaving you in pain and with the sound of Niagara Falls persisting in your ears.

Everything in the house that can fall does. Every dish and glass in the kitchen cabinets flies out. You duck and cover under the dining room table. Car alarms go off outside. People everywhere are screaming for help. After the rumbling ceases, you work your way across broken glass to a shattered window. You see a massive mushroom cloud rising in the distance.

Panicked, you try calling 911, but your fingers barely cooperate. No matter, you’ve already lost wi-fi and cell service—which also means you can’t go on the internet to ask for help or get advice.

You recall public health experts on TV recommending everyone stay indoors, preferably in a basement, until radiation dissipates. But you don’t have a basement. Or a bomb shelter. Fearful of the spreading radiation, you hastily decide to flee.

The experts say to have a Go-Bag ready in case of disaster. But you never got around to it. You toss some saltine crackers and a few bottles of water into a shopping bag. Two gallons of water per person per day for a week is recommended. But you don’t have that on hand, and your faucets are spitting air.

You and your family are not sure which way to drive. Or, how far to drive. It seems like everyone is doing what you are doing. You notice your fuel tank is low. You head for the nearest gas station, but the pumps are down. No power. You drive on but you don’t know which highway is best. There are no signs for evacuation routes like the signage seen along the west coast for tsunamis. No zone assignments for forest fires. And your radio is all static.

Soon. you are stuck in gridlock. After three exasperating hours—no gas and maybe five miles covered—your family abandons the car and heads home. You are walking home through radioactive dust. And mayhem. You may be robbed. You likely will be seriously sick in a few days.

Now, rewind the tape. What if you and your community had made suitable preparations. You have plenty of bottled water. You quickly tape up your windows. You and your family stay put in an interior room. You try not to panic. You and your neighbors have some disaster training and have plans to help each other. You communicate via walkie talkies. You have a first-aid kit and key medicines on hand, like prescription antibiotics and pain pills.

Staying put has its problems, but mayhem, heightened radiation exposure, dehydration, and starvation on the clogged highways is surely worse. Two days or so later you learn that radiation levels have dropped to safe levels. Your city government is well prepared, the feds are coming, and local radio stations begin broadcasting life-saving recommendations for obtaining food, water, and emergency medical care.

Note, this is ideal. You must be patient. Depending on the extent of the terrorist attack, some supplies could take weeks. Bu if you and your community are well prepared, many additional lives will be saved. Perhaps yours.

To fill several gaps in our current level of readiness, the federal government’s old civil defense plans, terminated in 1994, need to be resurrected and modernized. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) classes, overseen by FEMA, need to be mandatory in schools. Depending on community voluntary participation is not nearly enough.

First step: Visit ready.gov and prepare a Go-Bag.

Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax on Trump, DSA, Iran War and more...

Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy Available to Discuss Midterms, Trump, DSA, Iran War and More!

Newsmax Founder offers unique views on GOP’s plan to keep Congress, FCC’s media consolidation, AI and much more . . .

BOCA RATON, Fla. — August 24, 2026 — With the 2026 midterm elections entering their decisive final stretch, Chris Ruddy, CEO and founder of Newsmax, is available for television, radio, podcast and print interviews to discuss the rapidly changing political landscape, President Donald Trump, the upcoming elections, the Iran war and big media changes.

Few media executives know the thinking of President Trump and top leaders like Ruddy.

A longtime Trump friend who has known the president for decades, Ruddy can offer insights on the president’s political thinking and how he will battle to keep the House and Senate.

The political environment is increasingly difficult for Republicans. An Emerson College Polling survey released August 20 finds Democrats leading Republicans 51% to 43% among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot.

At the same time, Republicans face the traditional midterm headwinds confronting the party occupying the White House, while Democratic primary participation has surged.

Can Trump and the GOP beat the odds? Ruddy is available to discuss:

·         Why Democrats are leading in the latest polls — and whether those numbers will hold. What is driving this and what the GOP must do between now and Election Day.

·         Trump’s falling approval ratings. Is the president really at a political low point and can Trump reconnect with voters who backed him in 2024?

·         The Iran war, gas prices and the economy. Recent polling shows economic anxiety and the conflict are significant political vulnerabilities. 

·         The rise of the Democratic Socialists of America. The new Emerson poll finds the DSA close to taking over the Democratic party as their candidates win key primaries. 

·         What President Trump is really thinking. Drawing on his long familiarity with Trump Ruddy can offer his assessment of the president’s strategy for 2026 and beyond.

·         What happens if Democrats take the House. Ruddy can discuss how Trump could respond to a Democratic House and the real possibility of impeachment. 

·         The Unending Iran War. Ruddy looks at the ongoing conflict and reveals a surprising prediction of what will happen next. 

NEWSMAX TALKS MEDIA LANDSCAPE

Ruddy can also discuss the dramatic transformation taking place in American media — and why he believes traditional legacy outlets are losing influence as audiences migrate to newer outlets like Newsmax. 

Ruddy is also available to discuss Newsmax’s battle over television ownership and media consolidation, including its objections surrounding Nexstar and the FCC.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has sided with the broadcast TV industry that has long opposed Trump and conservatives to allow them to have massive media consolidation.

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER RUDDY: Christopher Ruddy is the CEO and chairman of Newsmax. He has built Newsmax from a digital news operation into a publicly traded, multiplatform media company spanning cable television, streaming, digital, publishing and social media reaching 50 million Americans regularly. Ruddy has known President Trump and has been a prominent commentator on politics and media.

Talarico is Prostituting Name of Jesus, Warns Famed Texas Pastor

By Todd Starnes, Author of THE GOLDEN AGE: How Trump Saved America

Dr. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas, delivered a blistering assessment of Texas politician James Talarico's theology, accusing him of presenting a version of Christianity that is fundamentally at odds with the Bible. Jeffress said Talarico represents a growing strain of progressive Christianity that rejects foundational evangelical teachings while continuing to invoke the name of Jesus Christ. [more...]

"Medicare for All" is a Plan to Get Elected... and Not Much Else

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

So here we are: a young electorate long conditioned by progressives to blame capitalism for everything is now ferrying a series of socialist barnstormers across America. Every bandwagon needs its own rallying cry and, over the past couple of weeks, the one we seem to be hearing over and over again is "Medicare for all" ...which is pretty clever – seniors like Medicare and only a cold-hearted, exploitative capitalist could possibly oppose providing what seems to be a functioning health care program to everyone, right? Even if socialists could confiscate all the billionaires' income, they won’t come close to paying for this program. In fact, they would have to roughly triple taxes for everyone making over $187,000 a year (which includes the billionaires) to cover the cost. [more...]

Lindsay Clancy and the Perennial Innocence of Killer-Mothers

By Prof. Janice Fiamengo, Author of The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself

Western criminal law has been soft on violent mothers for at least the past 250 years.

The headlines look away from the actual victims in the case: the three helpless children who were strangled to death in early 2023. All the sympathetic emphasis is on their mother, portrayed as a tragic figure allegedly "failed" by others and not morally responsible for her horrific act. As in many cases of mothers who murder their children, Lindsay Clancy has defenders aplenty eager to cry for her and proclaim their solidarity. Some are even willing to say that they have felt as she allegedly felt - eager to dispatch their children. Her grisly act has provoked masses of donations to a GoFundMe account as well as enthusiastic rallies of (mostly) women proclaiming her innocence. [more...]

 

WNBA's Identity Crisis - League is Committing Slow-Motion Suicide

By Michael Levine, Public Relations Expert, Author of Authentic PR

The WNBA is committing "slow-motion public-relations suicide" by refusing to answer one of the simplest questions in human history: What is a woman? Former NBA player and human-rights activist Enes Kanter Freedom was removed from Sunday night's Chicago Sky–Indiana Fever game following a heated interaction with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Freedom has become an outspoken participant in the national debate over transgender athletes competing in women's sports. When an organization refuses to define the very people it exists to serve, it has abandoned its mission. The WNBA should establish a transparent, biology-based eligibility policy, enforce civil conduct and stop treating reasonable questions as acts of political aggression. Authenticity is the new credibility. Until the WNBA speaks honestly, every controversy will become another self-inflicted wound. [more...]

The Tragic Results of Drug-Tolerant Housing

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

America's homelessness policy is undergoing a fundamental reset. HUD is trying to move the nation beyond measuring success by housing placement alone and toward recovery and self-sufficiency. Under Housing First, one man was considered a success. Now, he's dead. In 2025, 48% of the homeless who died in NYC were "sheltered." If our definition of success begins/ends with where someone sleeps, we will continue to fail those who need our help most. Housing ≠ human flourishing. Recovery, restoration, and self-sufficiency must be the standard by which we measure/ determine success. [more...]

We Need Strong Tariff Protection to Support U.S. Commercial Vehicle Production Surge of 2026

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

New data showing a sharp increase in Mexican heavy-duty truck production and exports to the United States underscores the importance of maintaining strong tariff protections that encourage commercial vehicle production and investment in the U.S.. Mexican production of heavy-duty trucks and buses climbed 51.8% year-over-year in July, reaching 14,675 units. Exports increased 66.7% to 13,117 vehicles, with more than 90% of that volume destined for the U.S. market. The data demonstrates the powerful role that trade policy plays in determining where future commercial vehicle production and investment occur. [more...]

White House to Launch Largest Visa Revocation in History

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

200,000 visas obtained through fraud targeted.

Beyond the border asylum fraud, there's also a more commonplace form of asylum fraud in which foreigners enter the country on B1 (business) or B2 (tourist) visas and then apply for 'asylum' and never leave. How big is the B1 and B2 visa asylum fraud problem? Big enough that the Trump administration is preparing to pull 200,000 visas fraudulently obtained by asylum applicants. It's being described as the largest visa revocation in history. [more...]

What's $40 Trillion Among Friends?

By Kerry Lutz, Founder of the Financial Survival Network, Economist

We are told the deficit doesn't matter, the national debt is just a number, and rising interest costs are manageable because America borrows in its own currency. And those people are correct. It doesn't matter today because Treasury auctions still clear, the dollar remains dominant, and the government can always create more dollars. It doesn't matter, until it does. Washington discovered the greatest financial cheat code in history: spend more than you collect, borrow the difference, refinance the old debt, and repeat. [more...]

How to Help America's Youth Who are Miseducated on Socialism

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

No one has made more political hay out of our affordability issues than the long-festering but rapidly ascendant socialist wing of the Democrat Party, which has proffered a simple prescription: make everything free! But how do we help America's frustrated and miseducated youth understand what's really going on here? What about promises to pay for all the freebies by taxing the rich? In fact, this is a political lie the Democrats have gotten away with for far too long. With roughly 1/3 of all households already paying no federal income taxes and the top 10% of earners paying roughly 70% of such taxes, we already have one of the most progressive systems in the world. [more...]

The Real Affordability Crisis - Our Government is Unaffordable

By Kerry Lutz, Founder of the Financial Survival Network, Economist

The affordability crisis isn't really a pricing problem... it's a government problem.

Every politician in America now claims to care about "affordability." Housing is unaffordable. Healthcare is unaffordable. College is unaffordable. Insurance is unaffordable. Groceries are unaffordable. Raising a family increasingly feels like running a leveraged buyout with no exit strategy. And Washington's answer is almost always the same: spend more money - another subsidy, another tax credit, another government loan program, another agency, another guarantee, another trillion dollars pumped into an economy already distorted by decades of intervention. Then everybody acts shocked when prices rise again. [more...]

The Radical Stupidity of Modern Antisemitism

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Newsmax Columnist

The stupidity of antisemitism has no merit. It is simply bigotry, one of mankind's oldest, ugliest and most irrational hatreds. There is nothing intellectually interesting about judging a person because he or she is Jewish, just as there is nothing intellectually defensible about judging an entire race, religion or ethnicity by the sins, politics or actions of somebody else who shares that identity. Yet somehow, in supposedly sophisticated America, antisemitism has again acquired an ideological costume that allows people who would never tolerate open racial prejudice against almost anyone else to rationalize their hatred of Jews as politics. [more...]

Explaining Away the Record-low Crime Rates Under President Trump

By John Lott, Foremost Expert on Guns & Crime

Paul Krugman remains one of the left's most influential voices. In his latest column, he argues that President Trump avoids taking credit for the drop in murders because Trump's ultimate goal is cruelty rather than public safety. Krugman contends that Trump's policies have made crime worse than it otherwise would have been. But if Trump's policies truly reflect "cruelty," how should we account for the lives they may have saved – particularly the lives of black Americans, who suffer a disproportionate share of murder victimization?
