Oral Arguments for Big Supreme Court Case on Concealed Carry Next Week

By Dr. John Lott

The work that I started over 23 years ago with my book "More Guns, Less Crime," which dealt with Right-to-Carry concealed handgun laws, is coming to a head next Wednesday, November 3rd. At that time, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear whether New York can demand that people provide a "proper cause" - a "good reason" - to carry a gun outside the home for protection. The May Issue versus Right-to-Carry was the central issue of my book. I have a new piece coming out in Newsweek on the day of the arguments. In case there is interest, here is the Amicus brief that John filed with the case.

Global Blueprint Exposed - The Takeover of All Genetic Material on Earth

By Patrick Wood

Few people saw the real driving force behind Agenda 21 and the Biodiversity Convention in 1992. This article is necessarily long and detailed. Some may find it difficult to follow. However, the research is explosive and gives a new and poignant explanation of how and why the world was thrown upside down with a pandemic narrative orchestrated by Big Pharma and the biotechnology industries.

Why 'Davos Man' is the Scourge of the Earth

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Whether you like it or not, we are in a multi-pronged non-kinetic war. On one front, it is China - that's the trade war and the creation of chokepoints, bribery schemes and climate change hostage taking to win over the Western world. But worse yet is the enemy within. It's the World Economic Forum's Davos Man - they are behind every bad, totalitarian idea we have had to live with over the last 18 months. And China can often count on them to do their bidding against the domestic populations of Europe and the United States. [more...]

We Can Take Back the USA by Modeling the Heroic Southwest Airline Pilots

By Wayne Allyn Root

We are facing a radical communist takeover of the United States. I believe we must respond with the tactics and strategies of Martin Luther King, Jr. - strikes, boycotts, protests, intimidation - in other words: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. The pilots of Southwest Airlines have put these tactics to work; and they've proven that conservatives and patriots can use this strategy to save America. Civil disobedience and intimidation are what liberals (i.e., socialists, communists, Marxists) have used for decades to steamroll us. A vocal and vicious minority has managed to hijack the direction of America with these tactics. Now it's time to turn the tables. [more...]

If Voter ID Laws are 'Undemocratic,' Then So is Europe

By John Lott

Democrats and the media ignore the rules in the rest of the world because no one would take seriously their claims that all these countries are anti-democratic.

Claims that voter ID laws suppress votes are a constant refrain from Democrats. It is now a central issue in the Virginia election next week, with gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe campaigning again on Sunday with Stacey Abrams, who claims that voter suppression stole her election as governor of Georgia. Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin is pushing back with campaign ads. [more...]

Ex-NYT Reporter Crushes CNN on Live TV

By Steve Turley

Former New York Times journalist, Bari Weiss, was recently on CNN with Brian Stelter. The abysmal ratings and frozen smile make Brian Stelter the journalist he is, so hosting Bari Weiss is a plus for him. Bari Weiss was on Brian Stelter's CNN program, in front of whatever remains of his dwindling audience, to talk about media bias and self-censorship. In many respects, she spoke on behalf of all of us. She was clear and articulate and was radically precise, even under the grilling of the self-infatuated leftist Brian Stelter who remained unconvinced and made the mistake of asking Bari Weiss to explain what she means when she says that the media is not allowed to speak about certain things. Her response was incredible. [more...]

Candace Cameron Bure - A Mom with a Message

By James Hirsen

Never hesitant in being forthcoming about her fundamental beliefs, Candace Cameron Bure, actress, producer and author, recently shared her feelings about the attitudes that she so often encounters within the entertainment industry as a result of her faith-centered worldview. Her video is captioned, "When you're conservative in Hollywood." Lip-syncing to a music video, she mouths, "Is it me? Am I the drama? I don't think I'm the drama. Maybe I am. Am I the villain? I don't think I'm the villain." [more...]

We Can Take Back the USA by Modeling the Heroic Southwest Airline Pilots

By Wayne Allyn Root

A month ago, my brand-new bestseller, The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book came out. What happened over this past month validates the strategy I laid out. It changes everything. My book lays out the case that America and American exceptionalism are under vicious attack. We are facing a radical communist takeover of the United States. I believe we must respond with the tactics and strategies of Martin Luther King, Jr. - strikes, boycotts, protests, intimidation - in other words: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

The pilots of Southwest Airlines have put these tactics to work; and they've proven that conservatives and patriots can use this strategy to save America. Civil disobedience and intimidation are what liberals (i.e., socialists, communists, Marxists) have used for decades to steamroll us. A vocal and vicious minority has managed to hijack the direction of America with these tactics. Now it's time to turn the tables. [more...]

I have formulated a multi-pronged action plan that puts us (conservatives, Christians, patriots and Trump warriors) on offense. It's time to counter-attack. The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book's message is "once a company goes liberal and woke, we will make them go broke." This book transforms 80 million Trump voters and patriots into the LOUD MAJORITY. The days of being silent while our money is looted, our quality of life destroyed, our civil rights stolen, are over. We can't afford to be silent any longer.

Study Shows Gun Permits Soared During Coronavirus Pandemic, Hit Record High Year-Over-Year Increase

A new study conducted by the Crime Prevention Research Center and John Lott shows that the number of concealed handgun permits soared in 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic and has increased over 10% since the end of last year. According to the study, the number of concealed handgun permits surged to 21.52 million in 2020, a 48% increase since 2016 and a 10.5% increase from the same time last year. [more...]

The Tragedy of Francis Collins's Model for Science-Faith Integration 

By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute

Francis Collins is Director of the National Institutes of Health. He is probably the best-known evangelical Christian in the federal science establishment. He recently announced he will be stepping down from that post by the end of 2021. Collins has been lauded for showing how a religious believer can rise to the highest levels of the scientific establishment while keeping his faith intact and while integrating his faith with his science. I do not question the sincerity of Collins's Christian faith. But I think this depiction of Collins as a someone who has developed a good model for integrating faith and science is in many respects a tragic myth. [more...]

Actually, it's clear the NFL's whole goal in life is to throw their own customers under the bus while courting people who have never watched NFL football and never will. [more...]

Trump and the GOP Have Already Seceded

By Steve Turley

That's the argument the far-left activists over at Salon are making. For better or worse, for right or wrong, scholars have noticed that secession is more pervasive today than ever. This secessionist trend began with the collapse of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day, 1991. The Soviet Union dissolved, and as a result, virtually overnight, Russia lost a third of its territory nations like Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Estonia, Uzbekistan, and the like. Scholars argue that what happened to the Soviet Union may happen to more and more nations worldwide because the modern Cold War era that defined geopolitics for two generations has ended, and a new politic has emerged. This new politic was fast replacing the modern world with a post-modern world, where more and more populations return to their own cultures, customs, and traditions. People worldwide are going back to things like region and, yes, race and ethnicity as the basis for a new post-modern social order. [more...]

Joe Rogan Verbally Spars with CNN's Sanjay Gupta

By James Hirsen

Joe Rogan became the unfortunate target of the cancel culture crowd. His crime? Asking questions about vaccine mandates and COVID therapies... and having the gall to have expert guests appear on his show to explain their positions. After Rogan himself tested positive for COVID-19, he chose to use Ivermectin as part of a therapy to regain his health. CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta made an appearance on Rogan's podcast. It was there that Rogan took the opportunity to confront the guest regarding the network's false characterization of Ivermectin, which Rogan had used to facilitate his recovery. CNN had labeled the medication a "horse dewormer." "It's a lie," Rogan said during the interview. [more...]

Tainted Blood Pressure Medication from India Can 'Change Someone's DNA'

By Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

The latest example of tainted medicine from an Indian lab can change a person's DNA and was flagged by the Food and Drug Administration as having a faulty process in making a key ingredient for the blood pressure medication known as Valsartan. The tainted compound in question was an impurity in azidomethyl-biphenyl-tetrazole (AZBT). It is known to damage DNA, and long-term exposure to an azido impurity in blood pressure pills can increase cancer risks. [more...]

Why Washington Shouldn't Be Worried About Inflaming China Relations

By Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

The Biden administration says it doesn't want to inflame China relations.  But, as China moves on Taiwan to take over its semiconductor and tech outsources like Foxconn in the future and as it holds the planet hostage in climate change talks to scare the climate fanatics in Washington, inflamed relations are the only way forward. If not, a return to a China-centric, pre-trade war status quo benefits stateless multinationals and maintains China as the world's key supplier of everything from solar equipment to the materials going into y our smartphone and EV car batteries.

Moreover, the current number of permits represents "a 10.5% increase over the number of permits [CPRC] counted a year ago in 2020." [more...]

NIH Director Francis Collins isn't a National Treasure, He's a National Disgrace

By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute

Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, announced he will be stepping down from his post by the end of 2021. Collins is probably the best known evangelical Christian in the federal science establishment, and among many Christians he has long held the status of a rock star, with people lining up for "selfies" with him at conferences. Collins’s announcement inspired a rush of accolades from his religious boosters. Evangelical political commentator David French called Collins "a national treasure," while theologian Russell Moore of Christianity Today magazine lauded Collins for his "wisdom, expertise, and most of all ... Christian humility and grace." I don't question the sincerity of Collins's faith. But Collins isn't a "national treasure." He’s a national disgrace. [more...]

Who is Really Running the Country?

By Wayne Allyn Root

Biden is not running America. Check out poor Joe's press conferences. As soon as his empty mind starts to wander, or the press asks him any question more difficult than, "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?" someone cuts off his microphone. Who makes that decision? Who gives that order? Find that guy or group. Because they are clearly more powerful than the president of the United States. That guy or group is running our country. Joe doesn't know what he's saying. He doesn't know what he's signing. He's a puppet. He's a wooden dummy. But the real question is: Who is the ventriloquist? [more...]

Texas Bans Vax Mandates as Red States Revolt Against Biden

By Steve Turley

The fantastic free state of Texas does it again! Governor Gregg Abbott signed an executive order banning private businesses from forcing vaccine mandates on their employees or customers. This order expands a previous executive order that Abbott signed that prohibited all state agencies and all government institutions from requiring employees to get vaccinated. The brand new executive order is radically sweeping in its scope, in that it now includes all private businesses in Texas. It explicitly bans any entity in the state from enforcing a vaccine mandate of any kind. [more...]

Sly Stallone's Lost and Found Faith

By James Hirsen

Sly Stallone talked about his faith during a conference call that was hosted by Central Christian Church of Las Vegas's Pastor Jud Wilhite: "I was raised in a Catholic home, a Christian home, and I went to Catholic schools. I was taught the faith and went as far as I could with it until one day I got out into the so-called real world. I was presented with temptation and I lost my way and made a lot of bad choices," Sly shared. It would be the "bad choices" that would cause Sly to endure a dozen dark years away from his Christian roots. But he would eventually find his way back to the light. [more...]

Study Shows Concealed Handgun Permits Soared During Pandemic, Record Year-Over-Year Increase

Minorities and women make up a significant portion of the increase

According to a study, the number of concealed handgun permits surged to 21.52 million in 2020, a 48% increase since 2016 and a 10.5% increase from the same time last year. Dr. John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, told Fox News that increased crime and the 'defund the police' movement have contributed to the rise in gun permits. "The reason for the increase is the same as the increase in gun sales over the last two years - increased crime and concerns that police aren't able to do their job and that large numbers of inmates have been released from jails and prisons," Lott said. Lott added that the increase would likely have been larger if not for Coronavirus lockdowns that halted or greatly reduced issuing permits in 20 states. [more...]

DOJ Slams First Amendment, Claims Parents are Engaged in "Domestic Terrorism and Hate Crimes"

By Patrick Wood

How did this happen and how was it suddenly fanned into a raging fire? The timeline below shows the key events and players.

Francis Collins' Rhetoric About the Unvaccinated is Anything but Christian

By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute

Francis Collins is Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He also is the most well-known evangelical Christian in the federal science establishment. But his recent rhetoric is anything but Christian. Earlier this month, Collins appeared on MSNBC. He first suggested that unvaccinated people were selfish, declaring that "this is really an occasion to think about loving your neighbor, not just yourself." Collins then attacked unvaccinated people and politicians who oppose vaccine mandates as killers on the wrong side of history. Dismissing their concerns as a "philosophical political argument" that is part of "a culture war," Collins said their view is "killing people, including, I'm sad to say, some children." [more...]

It's Time for Civil Disobedience

By Wayne Allyn Root

It's time for conservatives, Christians, patriots and 80+ million Trump warriors to adopt the mentality, strategy and tactics of Dr. Martin Luther King and black civil rights leaders, because we are now the persecuted. It's our civil and human rights being violated. In response to the communist takeover of America - to the destruction (at record pace) of everything that made our country great; to the clear civil rights and free speech violations of the Constitution aimed at conservatives and patriots (and in particular, the unvaccinated) - I wrote a brand new bestselling book, The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book to teach conservatives how to use protest, boycotts, intimidation and civil disobedience - just as liberals and civil rights activists have done for decades. The loud minority has outplayed and steamrolled the Silent Majority for decades with this strategy of intimidation. Two can play at this game. We can't be silent anymore. We can't play nice anymore. [more...]

The Appalling Moral Failure of Francis Collins

By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute

Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced his intention to step down at the end of 2021 after more than 12 years heading the agency. The accolades are already rolling in. Noted evangelical political commentator David French, for example, rushed to praise Collins as "a national treasure."

But Collins's real legacy is anything but praiseworthy, and the tendency of figures in the faith community to ignore his real record is far from admirable. This year of all years should have made the truth about Francis Collins clear. Last month, documents were released suggesting that top NIH officials may have lied when they denied that the NIH had funded "gain of function" research in Wuhan, China, that could have resulted in a pathogen that could infect humans.

After reviewing the documents, Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright had a blistering response: "The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support 'gain of function' research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement... are untruthful." It was another blow to the reputation of Collins in a year when his agency has faced multiple scandals and controversies. [more...]

Dr. John West is Vice President and a Senior Fellow at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, where he also serves as Managing Director of the Institute’s Center for Science & Culture, which he co-founded with philosopher of science Stephen Meyer in 1996.

His other areas of expertise include constitutional law, American government and institutions, and religion and politics.

Free Americans Need Not Apologize

By Judd Dunning

Apologies are righteous when appropriate. Being unapologetic means rejecting any need to make inappropriate apologies. Guilty people should apologize. The innocent should remain unapologetic. Being unapologetic means owing no apology to cancel or consequence culture for merely existing. Unabashedly free Americans with rock-solid conservative values rarely have to apologize. Being unapologetic means not joining the cult. Cultists wear "I'm vaccinated" necklaces as an apostle of vaccine messiahs and crazed leftists - such as cultist New York Governor Kathy Hochul who said, "God is telling you to get vaccinated."

Why I Wrote "I Can't Breathe"

By David Horowitz

Since I was a child and marched in my first political demonstration on behalf of civil rights, a central concern of my life has been the equality of all people. As a Jew, I was aware of the painful effects of prejudice; and as the child of communists, I was involved in the Left’s efforts to denigrate the United States and weaken it for its enemies by exploiting the injustices to black Americans. As an adult, I came to learn that the Left didn’t care about actual black people or their welfare. They were only interested in using blacks as a battering ram against their country. See David's new book: I Can't Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America. [more...]

We Stand with Australia in Defense of Free Speech

By Patrick Wood

For most American citizens, the battle for free speech, assembly, worship, and all the protections afforded citizens in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is the most important battle they will ever undertake. The right of the people to express themselves free of government restrictions - particularly when it's the government upon which they are speaking - played a central role in the founding of this nation and must play a similar role in its survival. We have watched in horror as the once-free people of Australia continue to suffer in isolation as their suddenly authoritarian government has enacted police-state tactics in response to the global Coronavirus pandemic.
