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...]
