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...]

Tucker Carlson Blasts President Trump for 'Mocking Islam'

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Barack Obama said: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." Now Tucker Carlson has said: “No president should mock Islam." Every former FOX News personality has turned into a CNN personality, and Tucker Carlson who already had shows on MSNBC and CNN, is going full circle, seemingly urged on by his extensive time in wealthy Muslim nations. Furthermore, at Turning Point USA, Tucker disavowed Charlie Kirk's warning that "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America." [more...]

The American Pope and the American President - A Stark Contrast

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

I just published the first major biography of Leo XIV. It's over 400 pages in length, with hundreds of endnotes. It's a deep dive. I've already done at least 50 interviews. One question I'm getting repeatedly, especially from Trump supporters, is why the pope is speaking out so much on the war in the Middle East. My answer is that popes pray for peace. That's what they do. And it shouldn't matter to them who's in the White House. That has been especially so with this pope. [more...]

Why Military Bases Should Never Have Been Gun-Free Zones

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

It may sound hard to believe, but except for a very limited group of personnel, the military has treated its bases as gun-free zones. Until last week, only designated security forces – such as military police – could carry firearms while on duty. Commanders punished any other soldier caught carrying a weapon severely, with penalties ranging from rank reduction and forfeiture of pay to court-martial, dishonorable discharge, criminal conviction, and even imprisonment. That changed with a statement from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. [more...]

Trump Setting the Stage for a New World Order

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

President Trump's courage in committing us to change in the Middle East and Latin America and the deftness with which he and his team have so far executed on these missions has the potential to set the globe spinning in new directions. In this light, both his address to the nation and the events that follow could scarcely be more consequential. In addition to re-focusing America away from Europe's stagnant socialism and self-defeating politics and towards the dynamism of a potential Middle Eastern and Latin American resurgence, these developments are potentially devastating to China's global ambitions. [more...]

House Committee Discusses Project Vault and Need to Onshore the Critical Minerals Supply Chain

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

The Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations said recently in a hearing titled 'Unleashing America's Mineral Potential' that critical minerals are a national security concern. We have to get as much production and processing in the United States "as quickly as possible," committee Chairman Paul Gosar (R-AZ-9) said. The creation of Project Vault makes that a consensus statement on Capitol Hill these days. For many in the metals and mining space, action is being taken. [more...]

The New Cost of Religious Belief

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Across the Western globe, the treatment of Christian belief is shifting. Not outlawed. Not banned outright. But increasingly scrutinized, interpreted, and, in many cases, penalized. And people are starting to notice. In Sweden, a Christian family lost custody of their children after authorities began investigating their Christian beliefs, which included going to church three times a week. In Finland, a sitting member of parliament was prosecuted for expressing her views on human sexuality, rooted in her Christian faith. The lines of religious expression are becoming harder to see. The protections are becoming less explicit. And the consequences are becoming less predictable. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Science, the Bible, and America's Creed

By John G. West, Author of Endowed by Our Creator

My book, Endowed by Our Creator, explains the quote: "America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed," by English writer G. K. Chesterton after visiting the United States in 1921. "That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence; perhaps the only piece of practical politics that is also theoretical politics and also great literature." From the founding of America onward, the Declaration's propositions provided a justification for human rights, limited government, and equal treatment under the law to countless people around the globe. Those propositions also established a standard by which future Americans could judge the actions of themselves and their nation. [more...]

Nigeria - Three Jihad Attacks in 24 Hours

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

President Trump said it on Nov. 1, 2025: "If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!" [more...]

Newsom Tries to Shift Blame on Homelessness to Local Government

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

Gavin Newsom stood before the cameras in early March and once again blamed local governments for the state's spiraling homelessness crisis. "No more excuses,” he thundered, threatening to strip funding from counties he claims are underperforming while promising to redirect "every damn penny” to those "getting things done." Newsom is once again attempting to shift blame for California's homelessness crisis - the very crisis he has repeatedly pledged to solve, including his 2021 vow to end family homelessness within five years. Since 2017, homelessness in California has surged by more than 40 percent - from roughly 134,000 people to nearly 187,000 in 2024 - despite an estimated $30 billion in spending he authorized. His latest tirade against counties ignores the glaring truth. [more...]

WOKE Ideology as the New Hysteria

By Dr. Jon Mills, Expert on Critical Woke Studies, Clinical Psychologist

Woke often refers to a moral awakening to social injustice, particularly when it comes to racism and oppressive forces of discrimination. Although the term is used as a slur, wokeism needs to be taken seriously for creating polarization on each side of the political divide. Social justice ideology has favored identity politics to such a degree that it has infiltrated most sectors of society. Once considered fringe ideas have now gained ascendancy in popular belief.  Some are untrue and plainly offensive, such as all white people are born racists, while others are simply delusional, such as there is no such thing as biological sex. It has become such a problem in academe, that a new movement in the social sciences has emerged to combat the lunacy. [more...]

The Whole World Laughs at Democrats' Lame Voter-ID Claims

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Senate Democrats are fighting tooth and nail against the SAVE Act, arguing that requiring Americans to prove their identity with a photo ID when they go to the polls to vote - even when the ID itself is given away for free - prevents eligible voters from casting ballots. They contend proving citizenship would make voting harder for millions who lack ready access to birth certificates or passports, supposedly disenfranchising black and Hispanic Americans. Yet democracies all over the globe, both in the wealthy West and in the developing world, enforce similar rules.

What Are Acceptable Terms for Iran?

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

What are acceptable terms for a negotiated settlement with Iran? Fortunately, the interests of the other Gulf countries are aligned with ours. The critical terms of any acceptable settlement are likely to include: a) the opening of the Strait of Hormuz; b) ceding control over the Strait to a coalition that, at least for a time, is likely to be headed by America; c) dismantling Iran's remaining nuclear and missile capacity; and d) putting the U.S. in a position to ensure that Iran's energy resources will not be used to rebuild its military and fund its terrorist proxies. Importantly, these conditions do not necessitate a full regime change. Rather, the goal is to deny any surviving regime the means to re-arm. [more...]

For China Commission, Warnings and Advice for Trump's "Donroe Doctrine" in Latin America

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

Last November, the White House released its National Security Strategy of the United States that laid out the Trump administration's strategy for the Americas. In it, the strategy imperative for the region said that one of Washington's key goals was to make sure the Americas remains "free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets," and was supportive of U.S. access to critical supply chains. China wasn't mentioned by name as the hostile adversary, but China is precisely who the White House had in mind. For the region, the November release of the National Security Strategy means Washington plans to "assert and enforce" what they referred to as the "Trump Corollary" to the old Monroe Doctrine - something many have jokingly referred to today as the "Donroe Doctrine." [more...]

How Hackers are Hijacking Trusted Voices to Deceive Millions

Next, the owner was completely locked out. Within minutes, something alarming appeared. A cryptocurrency scam was posted under their name. But what happened next is what every American needs to understand. Because this is no longer just about hacked accounts. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God

By John G. West, Author of Endowed by Our Creator

My book, Endowed by Our Creator, explains the meaning of a phrase in the Declaration of Independence's very first sentence worth pausing over. Most people probably pass over it without thinking much about it. The phrase is "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." This phrase is important because it provides crucial background for understanding the rest of the Declaration. The words echo British Enlightenment thinker John Locke (1632–1704), who used the phrase "the laws of God and nature" in his Two Treatises of Government. [more...]

The Shadow War Against President Trump

By Josh Hammer, Conservative Political Commentator

The joint American-Israeli military operation against the Iranian regime is now three weeks old, but there is another war — a more silent one — raging here on the homefront. President Trump's second administration is facing a highly coordinated shadow war — one waged both by some influential outside voices on the Right and, more dangerously, by their subversive allies within Trump's very own government. If this campaign is not confronted and decisively defeated, the result will be calamitous: a second Trump term that drifts into lame-duck status not due to a voter backlash but because of an insurrection from within. [more...]

UN Sends Billions to Islamic Terrorists Who Kidnap its Staff

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

The more money the UN sends, the more hostages the terrorists take.

Every March 25th, the UN commemorates its 'International Day of Solidarity with Detained and Missing Staff Members' while trying not to discuss who is kidnapping them. This day commemorates when Alec Collett, a UN Information Center director, was kidnapped by a Hezbollah front group on March 25th, 1985, in Lebanon. He was held hostage and then a video was released of him being hanged. His remains were eventually recovered in Lebanon in 2009. Earlier this March, Israel was accused of 'kidnapping' his alleged Hezbollah abductor in order to get information about the remains of an Israeli abductee. The UN did not express any appreciation for this long-delayed act of justice, instead it went on condemning Israel, while aiding and covering up for the Islamic terrorists who are killing and kidnapping its own people. [more...]

Addiction is a Disease - Policy May Finally Catch Up

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

More than 48 million Americans are battling substance use disorder. Many are deteriorating in plain sight - on sidewalks, in encampments, and in emergency rooms. Others decline behind closed doors. Overdoses are shattering families, especially within the homeless population where the death rate among people living on the streets has surged by 77 percent. Yet in a media landscape quick to amplify controversy but slow to recognize consequential reform, President Trump's executive order to overhaul America's addiction response passed with remarkably little national attention. It shouldn't have. [more...] 

Should Chinese Nationals Be Allowed to Donate to American Colleges, Participate in Research Grants?

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

Should Chinese organizations and individuals be allowed to donate to American colleges, and should their PhD students have access to scientific research grants? It's not an easy question to answer at all. And judging by the March 12 hearing in the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the Chinese may be self-censoring, colleges are being more restrictive, and there is a concern mainly among Democrats who spoke during the hearing, that going after Chinese money and Chinese PhD students is bad for schools, and American innovation. [more...]

Ramadan Apartheid - Restaurants for Muslims Only

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

The recent Ramadan, an Islamic commemoration with no roots in Western countries, provided a warning about growing Islamization as schools and workplaces in America and Europe banned public eating out of 'respect' for the period. This effectively forced non-Muslims to observe an Islamic commemoration putting them in the familiar position of Dhimmis that Christians are forced to occupy in the Muslim world. [more...]

Navigating the Strait of Hormuz

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

We should give President Trump the support needed to find the optimal resolution to this conflict. Trump's actions have so far exhibited a high level of discretion in the pursuit of worthy foreign policy objectives. This was true during his first term when he took us out of the Obama nuclear deal, imposed harsh sanctions on Iran and took out Qaseem Soleimani. During his second term, the success of Operation Midnight Hammer in degrading Iran's nuclear program, the removal of Maduro in Venezuela, and the battlefield successes of Operation Epic Fury are also evidence of the prudent use of force in the pursuit of worthwhile objectives. [more...]

Grandmother Jailed at Gunpoint After AI Misidentification

A Tennessee grandmother was arrested at gunpoint, jailed for months, and transported more than 1,200 miles from home, all because a facial recognition system got it wrong. And no one stopped to question it. In the summer of 2025, 50-year-old Angela Lipps of Elizabethton, TN was at home babysitting her grandchildren when U.S. Marshals arrived at her door with guns drawn.

Activists Attacking the Declaration of Independence

By John G. West, Author of Endowed by Our Creator

A Biden-appointed judge just struck down the Trump administration's attempt to change the vaccine schedule, basically deciding that unelected experts 'trump' the authority of elected officials in making public policy. [read about it here] How did we get to such a place? My book, Endowed by Our Creator, explains what happened. Over the past 150 years, activists in the name of science attacked the Declaration of Independence and advocated replacing government by the people's representatives with government by unaccountable experts. That view is now being pushed to the hilt by federal judges, a view diametrically opposed to the kind of government called for by the Declaration of Independence. [more...]

The Terror Threat Americans Aren't Supposed to Discuss

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Many commentators claim that Islam does not pose a threat of violence in the United States. Influencers such as Tucker Carlson often repeat this argument. Others, including then-President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, have argued that white supremacists represent the primary domestic threat. Looking at all mass public shootings from 1998 through 2025 reveals several patterns. Muslims commit these crimes at a disproportionate rate. White males commit them at a rate below their share of the population. And most shooters express no clear political ideology. [more...]

Can David Ellison Save CNN?

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

At a time when trust in the mainstream media has fallen to historic lows, a bold corporate move is taking place, which has the potential to have a profound effect on CNN. It is a business acquisition that affords the rare opportunity many free press devotees have been waiting for: the restructuring of a once-prestigious cable news network. The acquisition just may hold the key to the restoration of journalistic integrity and balance. Paramount Global, under the leadership of CEO David Ellison, is acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, a major entertainment company. Warner Bros. happens to be the owner of CNN, and also some valuable but beleaguered film and TV assets as well. Paramount's bid, which prevailed over competitors that included Netflix, has the possibility of significantly altering the current media and entertainment landscape. [more...]

Many commentators claim that Islam does not pose a threat of violence in the United States. Influencers such as Tucker Carlson often repeat this argument. Others, including then-President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, have argued that white supremacists represent the primary domestic threat.

Yet March alone saw multiple terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. In Austin, a terrorist wore a sweatshirt reading "Property of Allah" during an attack. In New York City, bomb throwers shouted "Allahu Akbar" while throwing a homemade shrapnel bomb. At Old Dominion University, a shooter also yelled "Allahu Akbar" and had previously been convicted of supporting ISIS. Another attacker, whose brother was a Hezbollah terrorist commander, targeted Temple Israel in Michigan, and yet another attack, involving three men of Iraqi origin, targeted the U.S. embassy in Norway. The Austin, Old Dominion, and New York City bombers and the Michigan synagogue attackers were also all foreign-born individuals who were naturalized U.S. citizens.

Looking at all mass public shootings from 1998 through 2025 reveals several patterns. Muslims commit these crimes at a disproportionate rate. White males commit them at a rate below their share of the population. And most shooters express no clear political ideology. [more...]
