Fauci's Fifth - A 40-Year Reputation Collapses in One Afternoon, Says America's Leading Media Expert

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

With today's Fauci contempt hearings, we should revisit the reason behind the hearings in the first place. Michael Levine, America's leading media expert called Dr. Anthony Fauci's appearance before Congress "a shocking and embarrassing disaster" that inflicted irreparable damage on a public career spanning more than four decades. "Dr. Fauci did not merely have a difficult afternoon," Levine said. "He presided over the televised demolition of his own credibility." Fauci's repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment transformed what could have been an opportunity for clarification into a spectacle of evasion, Levine argued. His refusal to answer lawmakers' questions created a devastating public impression - regardless of the legal strategy behind it. [more...]

The Shadows of Communism, Cultural Marxism, and Socialism That Lie Waiting Beyond Trump

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Newsmax Columnist

We are seeing a new Iron Curtain waiting to fall after President Trump's term if conservatives lose control of this country. We must study history to know the truth. There is no healthy face of communism, which is evil and repressive; and its sister ideology, socialism, carries the same false promise whenever it seeks to replace individual liberty, private ownership and the sovereignty of the citizen with centralized government control. This is not fearmongering. The socialistic, communistic, non-America-first and anti-sovereignty politics we have seen threaten the central principle of conservative populism: that the citizen is the true ruler and owner of the country.

Lock Up the Enablers - Parents Must Face the Consequences, Too

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

I thoroughly agree with the 15-year prison sentence handed down to Colin Gray, the father of the Georgia teenager who carried out the deadly 2024 Apalachee High School shooting. This decision was long overdue and a powerful reminder that parental responsibility does not end at the front door. Gray was convicted after giving his son the assault rifle used in the massacre despite multiple warning signs, including the boy's fascination with mass shootings, his disturbing behavior, and prior contact with law enforcement regarding alleged threats. For far too long, America has treated some parents of violent juvenile offenders as innocent bystanders. When overwhelming warning signs are ignored, and a parent provides the very weapon used to commit mass murder, accountability should not stop with the shooter. [more...]

House Foreign Affairs Committee Ropes in Japan, South Korea as Solution to U.S. Shipbuilding Woes

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

The U.S. is the world's No. 1 exporter of liquefied natural gas. It has two new LNG tankers under construction, or under firm order, in the Philadelphia Shipyard. The builder is Hanwha Ocean, a South Korean shipbuilder. No U.S. company has built an LNG tanker since 1980 – that's the Virginia-based General Dynamics built LNG tanker named "Abuja." For this reason, the House Foreign Affairs Committee seems committed to counting on Japan and South Korea to help the U.S. rebuild a shipping industry long lost to Asia a generation ago. [more...]

America's Murder Problem is Smaller Than it Looks

By John Lott, Foremost Expert on Guns & Crime

Does the United States have a higher murder rate than its peer countries? Yes, but new research shows that statistic obscures how murders in the U.S. are extremely concentrated in very tiny areas. Nevertheless, the United States has recently made remarkable progress. Since national recordkeeping began in 1900, the country has never recorded a murder rate this low. The previous record low was approximately 4.5 murders per 100,000 people, and the rate stood at about 5.0 per 100,000 in 2024. [more...]

Bipolar Socialist Immigrant Explains She'll Be Great Governor Because She's a Failed Chef

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

DSA Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong, who had once been institutionalized, is a bipolar socialist immigrant (she makes Graham Platner seem nice and well adjusted) had once tweeted that Thanksgiving should be canceled because it was racist. Hong was sued for $30,000 by Capital One for not making payments on her credit card which she blamed on her failed chef business... so I'm not sure that the natural next step is being governor of Wisconsin.

Don't Forget How Florida Defeated Fauci-ism and Vindicated Federalism

By Josh Hammer, Syndicated Columnist, Talk Show Host

Thankfully, not every American was equally subjected to Anthony Fauci's (the public health bureaucrat who became the face of America's botched COVID-19 response) overweening, politically expedient and often-changing dictates. We have our Founders to thank for that: Federalism mitigated the burdens of Fauci-ism for the many Americans fortunate enough to live in states whose political leadership defied prevailing COVID-era biomedical despotism. I would know: I moved to Florida in 2021 in no small part due to the way Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) handled COVID-19. DeSantis, alongside Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature, acted in heroic fashion during COVID. [more...]

Cracker Barrel Learns the Cost of Abandoning Its Soul

By Michael Levine, Author of Authentic PR

The leadership change at Cracker Barrel following the failed attempt to modernize one of America's most recognizable restaurant brands offers a powerful lesson for every company chasing cultural trends at the expense of customer trust. Cracker Barrel announced that CEO Julie Felss Masino will step down after less than three years, following widespread customer backlash over efforts to remake the chain's traditional identity. The episode demonstrates that authenticity is one of the most valuable assets any organization possesses. When customers fall in love with a brand, they are entering into an emotional contract. Break that contract, and don't be surprised when they break up with you. [more...]

In Senate Finance Hearing with USTR Amb. Jamieson Greer, Democratic Leadership Launches Anti-Tariff Bill

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

Meanwhile, Others Call for Tariffs on Lamb Meat, Sugar and Steel-Making Ores

Amb. Jamieson Greer faced the unenviable task of explaining the Trump administration's tariff policies in a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on July 22. Influential Democrats opposed tariffs and continued to frame them as taxes on consumers. Meanwhile, the Committee's Ranking Member, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), rejected the new Section 301 forced labor tariffs, launched on Friday to replace the expiring Section 122 tariffs, which replaced the IEEPA tariffs rejected by the Supreme Court. In response to existing tariff policies, Wyden announced the Congressional Trade Powers Reform Act, a bill that would give Congress veto powers over Executive Branch trade policies. [more...]

9/11 Families Accused of 'Islamophobia' for Asking Mamdani to Stay Away from Ground Zero

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

"As a 9/11 widow it is a slap in the face to every family member every person that has lost someone and every survivor of Ground Zero."

Shockingly, families of the victims of the Muslim terrorist attacks of September 11 are being accused of 'Islamophobia' for asking Zohran Mamdani, who had previously defended and excused Islamic terrorists, and whose chief counsel is a terror lawyer, to stay away from the September 11 commemoration ceremonies. And yet Zohran has decided to drive the nail in deeper: "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year's 9/11 commemoration." [more...]

Sacramento's Drinking Water Supply is Repeatedly Buried Under Trash from Homeless Encampments

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

Taxpayers were forced to fund endless cleanups while Sacramento County's Housing First approach makes treatment voluntary, recovery programs nearly nonexistent - a permanent cycle of human suffering, squandered taxpayer dollars, and mounting environmental degradation. Sacramento needs leaders with the foresight and courage to prioritize recovery and rehabilitation. Treatment capacity must be expanded, and the civil commitment process must be enforced for individuals who are too sick to recognize their need for care. [more...]

DSA Assault on Prisons is Rooted in Third World-ist Lust for Barbarism

By Josh Hammer, Syndicated Columnist, Talk Show Host

Welcome to the Left's love of criminals.

Mamdani has had a complicated relationship with the issue of public safety. The official DSA platform stops short of calling for full "abolition" of prisons or policing, instead calling to "demilitarize police departments" and "end mass incarceration." But Hizzoner Zo condemned the "carceral state" when he ran for state assembly in 2020. He was pressed during an appearance on ABC News on whether he supports the existence of prisons. "There are prisons," he simply responded. That's not exactly reassuring. Just this week, Zo appeared on purported comic Jon Stewart's podcast and doubled down on prevarication. Stewart asked Hizzoner if he is "comfortable" with calls to abolish prisons. "I'm comfortable with disagreement," he replied. [more...]

The Second Amendment Opinion That Scrambled the Partisan Script

Friday's decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals' Third Circuit striking down New Jersey's ban on so-called assault weapons and magazines holding more than 10 rounds marks the first time a federal appeals court has invalidated such bans. New Jersey had one of the nation's strictest and most prominent assault weapon bans. It is also the longest running continuously enforced ban in the United States. With the Supreme Court expected to hear arguments in December on assault weapon bans from Chicago and Connecticut, many believe the ruling will preview the court’s approach to those cases. [more...]

Musk recently suggested in posts on X that he would either fund an alternative Odyssey movie that has a more historically accurate take, or he would make a film of his own with his AI, Grok. He also stated that he is willing to fund filmmaker-director-actor Mel Gibson with $100 million to create an authentic adaptation. [more...]

Iran's Allies are in America

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

This past week, we saw this bipartisan myopia at work when over 100 House Democrats voted against renewed support for Israel while the isolationist VP J.D. Vance went on a national podcast to blame Israel for his own mistakes with respect to the failed MOU. Regrettably, Iran's best allies in the current war are located right here in America, which is why it was willing to forgo billions in needed funds to prevent the ceasefire from benefitting Trump in the mid-terms. But, one way or another, we are eventually going to have to deal with the hostile aggressions of a regime located in one of the most geopolitically important regions of the world. Ideally, our own allies around the world would also wake up to this reality; but for now, it is largely up to President Trump to determine whether our corpulent diva finally emerges from her dressing room to bemoan the tragedy of an Iranian triumph ...or to sing the glory of a better future for the Middle East, the United States, and the free world.

The Documented Case for Restoring Trust in American Elections

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

In his July 16 address to the nation, President Trump returned to a subject that has defined much of his political life and divided the country for nearly a decade: the integrity of American elections. During his address to the nation, Trump revisited allegations surrounding prior elections, warned of vulnerabilities in the system and urged Congress to enact stronger proof-of-citizenship and voter-identification requirements. The deeper argument beneath Trump's speech is difficult to dismiss: constitutional government cannot long survive if a substantial portion of the citizenry ceases to believe that political power is awarded through lawful, transparent and verifiable elections.

CAIR to Hold D.C. Convention After 9/11 Anniversary

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Convention to feature Muslim congressional candidate who aided terror sheikh linked to World Trade Center bombing.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted co-conspirator in Islamic terrorist financing, has announced that it will be holding 'CAIRCon,' its latest convention in Washington, D.C. on September 12th and 13th. D.C. was of course one of the targets of the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11. Keynote speakers will include newly selected Islamic congressional candidates Hisham 'Adam' Hamawy, a translator for the Blind Sheikh who was linked to the World Trade Center bombing, and Dariazila Avila Chevalier, who bragged about wiping her hands on the American flag and attended an event celebrating the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7. CAIR also celebrated the attacks. [more...]

Homelessness in Blue Dem-run Cities and States Getting Worse, Not Better

Nearly 17,000 people are struggling with homelessness;" "California's Real Homelessness Crisis - Failed Governance." Why is this national epidemic getting worse, not better? [more...]

Why We Need the SAVE America Act

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Democrats argue that requiring voter photo IDs - even when the ID itself is given away free - creates practical barriers that prevent eligible voters from casting ballots. "We're all set for the SAVE America Act," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly told President Trump immediately before his sudden death. With the House passing the SAVE Act as part of the reconciliation bill and President Trump urging its passage in his last Thursday night address to the nation, Republicans have launched a full-court press to get the legislation enacted. Democrats claim black voters would face the greatest harm. Yet every country in Africa requires government-issued identification to vote. Fifty-one of the 54 countries in Africa demand people actively submit proof of citizenship to register to vote. They also say IDs would disenfranchise Hispanic voters; yet Mexico, all 12 South American countries, and Spain mandate government-issued photo IDs to vote. All these countries verify the citizenship of those registered to vote. [more...]

As AG, Todd Blanche Will Finally Seek Justice for Dems' Dirty Lawfare

By Josh Hammer, Syndicated Columnist, Talk Show Host

It's easy to forget, but from 2022 through 2024, Democrats engaged in some of the most reckless, republic-destabilizing actions since their partisan forebears fired on Fort Sumter in 1861. In colluding to prosecute then-former (and future) President Donald Trump on sham legal grounds across four different jurisdictions and three separate prosecutors, Democrat-Lawfare Complex thugs acted in a manner more befitting tribal warlords of a third-world hellhole than elected officials in the greatest country on earth. They crossed a line that never should have been crossed. Many have conveniently forgotten or moved on, but we are still learning more about the Democrats' depths of lawfare depravity." [more...]

The Rise or Fall of the West

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

Reclaim national sovereignty or die.

For more than half a century, the Left's toxic one-world communist vision has dictated the trajectory of Western statecraft, establishing the supremacy of transnational governance over the traditional democratic republic. Globalist elites, radical Left-wing NGOs, and a political class consumed by civilizational self-loathing have pushed toward the shining horizon of a post-nationalist utopia, holding up this ideal as a triumph of cosmopolitan enlightenment. The promise was that by dissolving borders, dismantling shared cultural inheritances, and subordinating national sovereignty to unelected legalistic bodies, the West would enter a post-historical paradise.

Lindsey Graham’s Death Inspires Iran to Engage in an Orgy of Bloodlust

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

Islamic Republic top dogs demonstrate how much they love death.

The sudden and unexpected death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has sent Iran's Islamic regime into a fever spasm of bloodlust. Ynet News reported Sunday that "Iranian state media and supporters of the regime celebrated Sunday the sudden death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, one of Israel's strongest supporters in Congress and a sworn enemy of the Islamic Republic." One of those celebrations took place on "Iranian state television," where "a presenter reported Graham's death with a broad smile and a visibly satisfied expression. Another host said on air: 'This news is so sweet that I’m reading it twice.'" [more...]

DSA Calls for Abolishing the Constitution

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

"Our goal is to put workers in charge of the government through a new democratic constitution"

PolitiFact tried to 'fact check' President Trump's claim that the DSA was Communist and pretended to disprove it only to be forced to admit by the end of the article that Marxists and Communists actually run the DSA. The fallback position for the media and others arguing that the DSA actually isn't that extreme is to point to the DSA's platform as being mostly about expanding the welfare state. But the DSA doesn't have a real 'platform,' it's a coalition of Communists, Marxists and useful idiots, and what it mostly puts up is a list of short-term objectives that are easy to transform into a graphical list likely to appeal to Dems, mostly focusing on socialized medicine and other welfare gimmicks. But there is one agenda item that makes it pretty clear where we’re headed. [more...]

America's Homelessness System Must Pursue Self-Sufficiency, Not Simply Housing

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

For more than a decade, America's homelessness system has largely measured success by a single metric: whether someone is housed. In the process, what should have been a milestone on the journey to self-sufficiency became the destination itself. Housing is important, but making it the finish line set the bar devastatingly low for both the system and the people it serves. We now routinely confuse housing placement with transformation and occupancy with human flourishing. As a result, too many people remain trapped in addiction, untreated mental illness, dependency, and isolation, yet are counted as successes because the system measures where they sleep rather than whether they are healing, rebuilding, and moving toward self-sufficiency.  [more...]

May Trade Deficit of $106.4 Billion is Not as Bad as it Looks

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

The goods deficit for May is the worst looking deficit on paper, at $106.4 billion, but might not be as bad as that number suggests. The May goods gap is much higher than the year's high of $86 billion reached in March. But a deeper look at the numbers shows the three-month average goods gap is within the normal range for the year – at $62.9 billion – and the Jan-May deficit in goods is down by roughly $200 billion to $440.2 billion. U.S. export values totaled $210.5 billion, close to March values and above January and February exports. But imports were valued at $317 billion. That's about $13 billion more than April. [more...]

Mythbuster - U.S. Much Safer Than Many Peer Nations

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Conventional wisdom holds that the United States is the most violent and dangerous nation in the developed world. This dark view is frequently invoked by conservatives to demand stronger penalties for crimes and by progressives to argue for stronger gun laws. At the same time, other nations point to crime as an Achilles heel of the American system. These include two peer nations with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world – Australia and Canada. In 2025, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that "the U.S. generally sees higher violent crime rates than many other countries." Last year, the Canadian Press similarly reported that "the number of police-reported violent crimes for every 100,000 people continue to be higher in the U.S. than in Canada." The data, however, undercuts this narrative. While the U.S. still leads in some categories, on the whole it has significantly less violent crime per capita than those two nations.  [more...]

Social Media and AI Are Robbing Us of Personal Connections

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

Social media and AI chatbots are not just providing methods for making life easier. They are systematically replacing the sometimes challenging, emotionally risky, high-stakes effort of forming human relationships. The result is a quiet but accelerating crisis of isolation that threatens mental health, family formation, and the fundamentals of society. The United States is in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Too many young people are spending less time building relationships, which have historically defined adulthood, created the closest of friendships, spawned romantic partnerships, and facilitated continuous face-to-face interaction.

And more importantly, his tragic bid for president is over! Thank God America will no longer have the risk of becoming California. He Just Made This TOO EASY. [more...]

Trump's Immigration Enforcement Really is Slashing Violent Crime

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Is crime falling? Some conservatives, notably Steve Bannon, argue that Americans should ignore the FBI's crime statistics showing record drops in violent crime. The murder rate last year fell to the lowest rate ever recorded, and the violent crime rate is clearly at the lowest in many decades. But Bannon recently declared that "nobody believes" FBI crime data or its director, Kash Patel, adding: "I don't want to hear any more statistics about how crime's coming down." That skepticism overlooks an important distinction... Americans shouldn't blindly accept crime statistics, but they need to understand what the different numbers actually measure. The FBI's numbers show that reported crime has fallen dramatically, while the NCVS will tell us this September whether total violent crime has also declined. [more...]
