Voters Sound Alarm on Mental Health System Failure in New National Poll

By Dr. Tim Murphy, Psychologist and mental health advocate, Author of The Christ Cure

New survey of voters and affected families finds near-universal agreement that serious mental illness is poorly treated and requires urgent federal action.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and a new national poll shows voters across the political spectrum are very aware the system is failing people with serious mental illness and they want policymakers to act. An overwhelming majority believe it is a critically important issue that could affect their votes this fall. The poll conducted for Schizophrenia Policy Action Network (SPAN) found elected officials would be well advised to address this major concern. Why This Matters Politically: Overwhelmingly, 78 percent of the NATL (randomly selected voters) and 97 percent of FAM (families and individuals) groups said they will more likely vote for a candidate who prioritizes mental health care. With only 1.2 percent of the population diagnosed with schizophrenia, why should any of this matter? Because 51 percent of the NATL sample said they were diagnosed/caregivers/friends or family of someone with schizophrenia. That is a voting block not to be ignored. Key findings include... [more...]

Consequential Trump Recombines, Rebuilds American Power

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

After recently facing and surviving his third assassination attempt, President Trump was asked why he keeps getting shot at. Mr. Trump’s response gave America a line for the ages: "Only consequential presidents get shot at... it's a dangerous business." Far from bravado, Trump offered history in real time. Some presidents manage decline. A few expose it. Trump forced America to confront whether decline was ever inevitable or simply policy based. The facts answer that consequential question. [more...]

Spencer Pratt is Shining a New Light on Homelessness in LA

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

Recently, a stretch of Interstate 110 in Los Angeles remains shut down after a fire broke out in a homeless encampment - and was still closed eight hours later as crews clear mattresses, debris, and massive amounts of trash. Thankfully, there is no reported loss of life inside the encampment, but the damage is far-reaching. Hundreds of thousands of commuters disrupted; emergency personnel pulled from other critical needs; millions of gallons of water diverted; potential structural damage to a major freeway. The ripple effects are enormous - and entirely predictable. This is what Karen Bass's failed homelessness policy looks like in real time: not contained, not compassionate, and not without consequence for the broader community. LA Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt seems to be the only one out there raising awareness on a broader scale. [more...]

Two Arrested in the '764' Child Exploitation Network - But the Real Story is Much Bigger

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Two New York men have been arrested in connection with the online extremist network known as "764," facing federal charges tied to the exploitation of minors. Aaron Corey and Ryan Catello are accused of receiving and coercing sexually explicit material involving children, part of what federal authorities describe as a disturbing pattern linked to a criminal network called 764. But this case is not just about two individuals. It's about what those arrests confirm. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

War and Politics Putting Lives at Risk

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

When leaders put their political interests ahead of American interests in something as important as Iran, they sow division that plays into enemy hands. Iran's new PR program plays off of and reinforces what has become standard fare for the domestic anti-Trump crowd. In effect, many Democrats and isolationist Republicans are pushing for President Trump to withdraw too soon under the weight of public opinion. In so doing, they are empowering an otherwise decimated enemy whose only remaining chance for survival lies in their conviction that we will give in before they do. This only emboldens Iran to perpetuate the hostilities, putting additional lives at risk. [more...]

AI Data Centers and EVs are the Main Drivers

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

A House Natural Resources subcommittee heard from witnesses last week calling for special tax breaks and for Congress to consider restrictions on copper scraps exports. Witnesses at an Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee hearing on April 26 recommended that copper – now listed as a critical mineral by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of the Interior as of November – be treated with more economic urgency. Copper has become one of America's premier metals. AI data centers and EVs are the main drivers. [more...]

Gun Background Checks are Failing the Wrong People

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

The background check system for gun purchases is a mess. Republicans have criticized Democrat presidents for failing to prosecute people denied gun purchases through background checks. Democrats have leveled the same criticism at Republican presidents. But both sides miss the real problem. The system generates mistaken denials - "false positives" - by confusing felons with non-felons, so the denials aren't real cases. Everyone wants to stop dangerous people from buying guns. But let's fix the system so it stops those who are at risk of causing harm, not law-abiding citizens who want to protect themselves and their families. [more...]

NJ Democrat Candidate's Ties to WTC Terror Sheikh

In an April 24 piece for Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, was the first reporter to question why New Jersey Democrat and congressional candidate 'Adam' Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the 1995 trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing. Hamawy is an Egyptian Muslim who currently works as a plastic surgeon in New Jersey. Greenfield describes how he has cultivated a "pseudo-patriotic image as a military plastic surgeon" while accusing our military of "war crimes" and "promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security." [more...]

The AGI Tower of Babel

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

Tech driven members of our society appear to be building the Tower of Babel again. Only this time, the bricks are silicon, the mortar is computer code, and the "heaven" that is being sought after is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) which has the capacity to reason, invent, and act across every domain in a far superior manner than the greatest geniuses among us. Right now, most AI technologies are "narrow," meaning that they are really good at one specific thing. For example, one AI might beat you at chess, another might write poems, and another might translate languages. But they cannot easily switch over to tasks for which they were not trained. However, when it arrives, AGI is going to be very different from AI. It will be able to learn new skills on its own just by searching, reading, and watching. It will be able to program itself, train itself, replicate itself, and improve itself. And by using this self-training, it will be able to grow its abilities at lightning speed. [more...]

The Men Building AI Now Want to Build Better Babies

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

For years, Silicon Valley's most powerful men have told us that artificial intelligence would transform the world. Now, according to a stunning investigation by Mother Jones, some of those same men appear to be funding something that sounds straight out of a dystopian novel: technologies designed to help parents select, optimize, and one day perhaps genetically engineer their children. Among those reportedly backing companies involved in embryo screening, genetic analysis, and future gene-editing research are tech heavyweights like Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, and Marc Andreessen. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Reagan and Trump - The Hilton Paradox

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

In 1981, Pres. Ronald Reagan was in the midst of initiating: a) the free-market reforms that reinvigorated our long dormant economy, and b) the defense buildup that would eventually win the Cold War. In late March, Reagan emerged from a speech at the Washington Hilton only to encounter an assassin who, in a span of a few seconds, fired off 6 rounds, one of which lodged in his lung. By the time Reagan reached the hospital, he was perilously close to death. As he was rushed into the emergency room, the irrepressible Reagan looked up from the operating table and said, "I hope you are all Republicans," to which one of his surgeons famously replied, "Today, Mr. President, we are all Republicans." History repeated once again when a would-be assassin attempted to charge the ballroom at the Washington Hilton where President Trump was preparing to give a speech. Like Reagan, Trump is in the early phases of trying to turn our economy around while also fighting a new Cold War against China and its allies. Fortunately, he avoided being shot but, given today's politics, there is little chance he would have heard encouraging words of solidarity if he had been hit. [more...]

The Left Wastes Time Weaponizing Everything, From Policing to Immigration, and It's Rotting Our Infrastructure

By Seth Barron, Author of WEAPONIZED: The Left's Capture, and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions

We have heard a lot about "weaponization" over the last few years. On social media, it has become a kind of shorthand, like the word "gaslighting," for anything that someone finds annoying or unscrupulous. In America today, weaponization refers to the use of ostensibly neutral institutions or concepts for political or ideological ends that would be difficult to achieve without leveraging the good reputation of those institutions. When someone is shot, it’s a problem of gun violence. When someone is stabbed, shoved in front of a subway car, or beaten to death, it’s usually a failure of mental health and housing policy. In either case, the answer is never, "We need to have more money for policing." It's always, "Look at all the money we waste on the police." [more...]

On Capitol Hill, China Themes Increasingly Center on Trade Theft, Espionage, IP Violations

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

How did China become a near peer competitor with the U.S. on everything from computers to AI platforms to space? Theft and IP violations. Over the last week, two hearings on China have basically drawn this same conclusion – China's rise can also be attributed to stealing Western ideas. The House Select Committee on the CCP discussed this in regard to AI. And the Senate Judiciary Committee discussed it in regard to basically everything – be it deep fryers or fighter planes.

No, Gun Control Wouldn't Have Prevented the Latest Trump Assassination Attempt

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

As is so typical, just hours after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Democrats were already calling for more gun control. But they made the same mistake they continually make - they called for gun control laws that were irrelevant for stopping the attack they are discussing. If policymakers and advocates are serious about reducing such incidents, the focus needs to shift toward measures that directly address the factors involved, such as reducing the rhetoric that seems to have driven the attacker at the WHCD, rather than reiterating familiar but ineffective solutions.

Trump's Rebuilding of American Power

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

After facing and surviving his third assassination in three years, President Trump was asked why he keeps getting shot at. Mr. Trump's response gave America a line for the ages: "Only consequential presidents get shot at... it's a dangerous business." Far from bravado, Trump offered history in real time. Some presidents manage decline. A few expose it. Trump forced America to confront whether decline was ever inevitable or simply policy-based. The facts answer that consequential question.

Musk v. Altman - Transforming Charity to Business Lacks Integrity

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

The high-profile trial of Elon Musk versus Sam Altman is one week in. As a federal jury in Oakland, CA listens, one simple question hangs over the courtroom: Can you steal a charity? The answer will determine the future of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as the fate of charitable giving. OpenAI, the entity that Musk and Altman co-founded, was built on a solemn, legally binding promise that its leaders have since breached. What began in December 2015 as a nonprofit organization, dedicated to developing artificial intelligence to benefit all humanity, has become a closed-source, profit-making, $850 billion company. This "stealth" transformation was not merely a clever business plan. It was a breach of charitable trust. [more...]

Political Violence and the Willful Self-Deception of the Left

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Violence motivated by political differences has emerged as a defining, if alarming, feature of 21st-century American civil life. Neither side in our nation’s increasingly dangerous ideological divide has a monopoly. But one side, the Democratic Party and its allies, refuses to acknowledge the increase in mayhem from the left. This is true even in the face of the campus assassination of beloved conservative activist Charlie Kirk – or the very public attack against a televised banquet featuring the President of the United States in a ballroom room full of politicians and journalists.

Our Declaration Gave Us a Better World... and It's Still Improving

By Fmr. Congressman Bob Livingston, Author of The Rainbow Chaser

Any success I, as an American citizen, have enjoyed was due solely to my inheritance of freedom in our Declaration of Independence and our U.S. Constitution. Those great documents endowed us all with abundant opportunity without guarantees. And they changed the course of history, not just for Americans but for billions of people around the world. Our forefathers endowed us with opportunity to pursue happiness regardless of ethnicity or station in life. We have been free to better ourselves and our families through initiative and intelligence... or not. There were never guarantees of success. And there is no guarantee that our freedoms of today will be with us tomorrow. In his inaugural address as governor of California in 1967, former President Ronald Reagan warned us that our freedoms are fragile and can be lost in a single generation. America is celebrating its 250th anniversary, and every one of us should be proud. [more...]

Do Churches Really Help the Homeless?

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

For more than a century, America's response to homelessness was rooted in faith. Churches, rescue missions, Catholic Charities, and the Salvation Army fed the hungry, sheltered the vulnerable, and most importantly, walked alongside them toward restoration. They innately understood a fundamental truth: Homelessness is a human transformation challenge requiring recovery, accountability, and the restoration of purpose. Over the past decade, however, policymakers have been increasingly steered toward a different conclusion. [more...]

Bernie Sanders Teams Up with China to Restrict U.S. AI?

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Bernie's back to working with Commies to undermine America.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the oldest living foreign influence operation, certainly in the Senate, is at it again. Lately, Sanders has gotten attention for talking about AI, even though he knows virtually nothing about AI or anything technological. What was Bernie's AI endgame? With Bernie, it's best to start by asking two questions about anything he supports: 1) What's in it for Bernie? 2) How does it help America's Communist and Islamist enemies undermine the United States? [more...]

Why are we Still in Iran?

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

In short, the war continues because the historic opportunity to make the world a substantially safer and more prosperous place still exists and the winds of war have revealed that our original mission is even more important than we previously realized. I believe the winds of public opinion will ultimately shift from the spin doctored by those seeking political advantage to the weight of the War's accomplishments. Let's all hope that President Trump can find a way to seize the historic opportunity to accelerate the collapse of this terrorist regime, unleash a new era of peace and prosperity in the Middle East and, in the process, checkmate China, all of which would favorably shift the arc of world history. [more...]

War, AI, and Grid Stress - Why This is Solar Power's Moment

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

The war in Iran is solar power's COVID moment. During the pandemic, and shortly afterwards, Western governments, ours included, looked at world supply chains of everything from basic semiconductors used in cars, to generic drugs, and saw how pandemic lockdowns disrupted them drastically. The auto industry in the U.S. had to furlough workers. U.S. hospitals famously could not get personal protection equipment as basic as nitrile gloves and masks. Now with oil and gas price fluctuations and potential shortages on the horizon due to war damaged infrastructure in the Gulf states, the benefits of deploying solar and storage are becoming increasingly obvious.

Breaking Down the Would-Be Assassin's Manifesto

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

"I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done."

In the wake of Saturday’s most recent assassination attempt on the life of President Trump, former President Barack Obama posted on Sunday a social media statement in which he declared that "we don't yet have the details about the motives behind [the] shooting." Apparently he didn't read the failed assassin's manifesto, which The New York Post published in full – 1,052 words he sent to family members just 10 minutes or so before he barreled through a security cordon toward the room in which Trump, administration officials such as Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller, and other guests attended the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Dem/Leftist Rhetoric Has Dark Impact

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Is there a question whether Democrat rhetoric is convincing some people that violence is justified? If someone really believes Trump is an existential threat to democracy, will they feel justified in engaging in violence?

Reintegrating Faith into the Nation's Approach to Homelessness

Trump Talks Big but Acts Guardedly

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

A WSJ article this week blared the headline, "Iran's Regime Has Changed – for the Worse" - a sentiment expressed by many of Trump's critics. But we have to ask: do we really believe the new regime will be worse than the prior one that killed hundreds of Americans, thousands of Israelis, and tens of thousands of their own citizens? Worse than the regime behind the horrific October 7 attack on Israel? Worse than the regime that has long stood as the primary impediment to a more peaceful and prosperous Middle East, and that continuously violated prior commitments as they surreptitiously pursued nuclear weapons? It is still too early to call victory here. But the Trump hyperbole that brought Iran to the negotiating table and the naval blockade that has put further economic pressure on Iran and shifted control over the Persian Gulf were sound tactical moves, and entirely consistent with the notion that our president Talks Big but Acts Guardedly in the pursuit of noble causes. [more...]

Human Cells in AI? Is Artificial Intelligence Going DEFCON Frankenstein

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Americans already fear AI. So why introduce something that makes it even harder to trust?

"Human cells in AI." That's all most Americans will need to hear. It sounds like something out of a science fiction nightmare. And for a public already uneasy about artificial intelligence, it raises a simple question: how far is this going to go? Now, to be fair, what scientists are actually building is more limited than that phrase suggests. These are lab-grown human cells used in controlled environments, functioning more like biological circuits than anything resembling a human mind. But here's the problem: that distinction may not matter at all. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Media Knew About Swalwell for Over a Decade

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

They sat on the story for 13 years until it was politically convenient.

"More than half a dozen interviewees independently named one California congressman for pursuing female staffers." CNN dropped that blind item into its story on sexual harassment in Congress in 2017 as part of its #MeToo coverage and then did nothing with it for 9 years. Nearly a decade after CNN had the story and sat on it, explaining at the time that it would not name the congressman because "the stories are unverified," CNN took credit for its "investigative journalism." CNN's Brian Stelter told CNN that the rumors had been "circulating for weeks" about Swalwell until CNN published them. He was only off by almost a decade. [more...]

Trump on the Brink or The Art of the Deal

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

Only Trump and his advisors have a complete picture of the options (and related risks) available to bring this war to its best possible conclusion. Contrary to all of the spin, he has earned our confidence and support in making that decision. In the end, the success or failure of Operation Epic Fury won't be determined by the spin-doctors. Rather, success or failure will be a function of whether this operation adds to (or subtracts from) all of the steps Trump has already taken to enhance future peace and prosperity at an acceptable cost. At this point, there are still too many unresolved factors to jump to a meaningful and objective opinion in this regard, but we will likely know more soon as these historic events continue to unfold before our eyes. [more...]

The Shaky Trump-Iran Cease-Fire Means Being Ready to Exit Any 'War's Over' Rally

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

The two-week cease-fire timeline may not be reliable. Will it hold? Nobody knows for sure. Recall that last June, Trump declared victory when the U.S. bombed an Iranian nuclear site. On Feb. 28, Operation Epic Fury began. Some would expect the Iran war to continue. If you believe that, you dip back into oil, invest in slower economic growth by buying discounted large-cap stocks and avoid emerging-market fuel and food importers. There's the "war's over" trade, and there's the short-term scramble to trade the two-week cease-fire and buy assets that got beaten up by the war, like airline stocks. But if the truce doesn't hold, investors have to be ready to sell in 14 days or less. If we start from the position that Trump wants to honor the cease-fire, then that leaves two obvious indicators to watch: What will Israel do? And what will Iran do? [more...]

 

Another Warning About the Upending of Civilization

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Something shifted last week, and almost no one noticed. Tuesday morning, headlines warned about civilization being threatened by conflict in Iran. By afternoon, a very different warning emerged, one that may prove even more far-reaching. Not with bombs. But with artificial intelligence. Sam Altman, one of the leading voices in the race to build advanced AI systems, is now openly calling for what he describes as a "New Deal" to prepare for what's coming. A "New Deal" to deal with artificial intelligence. That alone should get your attention. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Trump vs. the Pope

By Dr. Paul Kengor, Author of AMERICAN PONTIFF: Pope Leo XIV and His Plan to Heal the Church

The escalating battle between the American president and American pope is prompting many conservative Catholics to choose a side, and to oppose their pope. Last week, Trump's approval numbers among Catholics dipped below 50%. That same group elected him president in November 2024, giving him 55% of the Catholic vote. That number will continue to decline as he goes after their pope with harangues like this. To be sure, he will still have plenty of Catholic supporters. [more...]

In Algeria, Pope Leo Hails the 'Rich Diversity' of Christians and Muslims

By Robert Spencer, Author of Holy Hell: Islam's Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It

Fresh from his widely reported contretemps with President Trump, Pope Leo traveled to Algeria on Monday, where the pontiff clearly intended to continue in the More-Peaceful-Than-Thou vein of his response to the president. While the president of the United States made war upon the Islamic Republic of Iran, the pope was showing by traveling in peace to another Muslim country that there was another way. Christians and Muslims, you see, could celebrate "our rich diversity" instead of lobbing missiles at one another, and live in "unity and peace" instead of mutual antagonism. But the land where the pope was welcomed Monday shows what happens when no effective resistance can be mounted against Islamic jihadis. The suicide bombings reinforced the lesson. But it doesn't appear as if Pope Leo XIV was disposed to learn anything. [more...]

The Crawl Toward Communism

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

Communist ideology should have been sidelined decades ago. That's what so many of us thought was going to happen after the Soviet Union collapsed back in 1991. Instead, the malignant ideas and strategies of communism, derived from the twisted mind of Karl Marx, gained a significant academic, institutional, and cultural foothold in the Western world. Just about the time when the 1970s counterculture appeared to be fading away, a quiet yet insidious revolution was set in motion here in the United States. There was no red flag waving in the air bearing a hammer and sickle. Rather, a long march through American universities began to take place. [more...]
