College Campuses, Cesspools of -- Christianity?
A strange phenomenon has rocked some college campuses in America in recent times, shocking mainstream media, angering leftists and driving the secularists and socialists batty. What is it? Prayer. Prayer vigils. Prayer revivals and prayer, 'round-the-clock. Prayer by students, of students and from students. Prayer that won't stop. Prayer that won't quit. Mark Burrell, author of "Rediscovering the American Covenant," sees this as an optimistic sign. And so should all patriotic Americans. After …

Remembering Antonin Scalia
It was just over seven years ago that Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia died, leaving a conservative America in shock and sadness. But his legacy lives on -- and, as Scalia chronicler James Rosen says, it's a legacy that will prove him the most influential and important member of the court for the coming 100 years or so. But what of his early life? Of his pre-SCOTUS life? Rosen in his new book, "Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936-1986," chronicles some of the characteristics, …

America's Suffering From a Loss of Moral Grounding
In just a few short years, the percentage of Americans who told Pew Research Center pollsters that there were other countries in the world better than the United States went from 14 to 23. That's tragic. That means nearly a quarter of Americans believe America is not the best -- is not exceptional. Give it a couple more years, and a couple more public high school graduating classes, and that 23% will grow to 50% -- and then to more than half -- and then, one sad and sorry day, to a majority. …

Parents, Listen Up: Your Wayward Child Can Be Saved
Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual and for many, it's a heartache to see their children grow and mature into hearts of darkness, not light. What's a parent of a prodigal supposed to do? The Bible teaches that nobody is unreachable; that all are created in God's image -- and that means even children who have lost their way can be brought back to their senses, to their home. And it's never too late, says Laine Craft, author of "The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win …

Don't Let the COVID Tyrants Get Away With It!
Don't Let the COVID Tyrants Get Away With It! For more than three years, Americans faced a mad, sad state of government affairs due to coronavirus crazy, that led to citizens seeing forced lockdowns as a way of life. Churches were closed. Businesses were closed. Schools were closed. Citizens were face masked and forced off the streets, out of the public parks, off the beaches and away from their neighbors and loved ones. And meanwhile, all the while, all the time on media, the faces of …

COVID Shots and the Death of Young People
Here's a question the government, Big Pharma and Anthony Fauci all agree shouldn't be asked: Are young people suddenly dying due to COVID shots and boosters? According to Fauci And Co., the answer is a resounding "No." But according to data -- according to an author who analyzed the data -- the question can't be answered so quickly and resoundingly in the negative. Fact is, President Joe Biden mandated these shots onto the military and government workers, and many privately owned businesses, …

LGBTQ Agenda Infiltrates Miss Manners
The LGBTQ community has managed to infiltrate the guardians of the etiquette gates and now, manners' columnists and so-called etiquette experts everywhere are actually putting forth the notions that it's polite to pretend boys who want to be girls, and vice versa, can actually do so by changing their pronouns or clothing styles. This is yet one more sign of the cultural degradation that's rotting America from within -- and there's one etiquette expert who's had enough of it and is fighting the …

Biden's Border: It's Worse Than You Think
If you think this administration has done a poor job of protecting America's borders -- you're right. But it's even worse than you think. The borders aren't just porous; they're non-existent. Call it Team Biden's biggest success -- letting in illegals. He's record-breaking, in fact. The danger is that if this administration, this White House, this batch of Democrats in office have their way, America by the end of Biden's term won't be America any more. And how do you go back from that? Once …

Israel Goes Conservative and Leftists Go Nuts
Israel Goes Conservative and Leftists Go Nuts Read almost any mainstream news source since the reelection of Benjamin Netanyahu and it's if the nation known by the religious community as the apple of God's eye is about ready to self-destruct. That's because the media leans left and Netanyahu leans right -- so the animosity of the press toward Israeli leader politics has quadrupled overnight. It's interesting, though; the same things the press said of Donald Trump are now being said of …

The CIA, Operation Mockingbird and Modern Media
Today's media isn't just fake news. It's anti-American news. It's become infiltrated by some of the deepest of deep state players, and it's almost like decades ago in America where the CIA actively sent operatives into newsrooms across the country to influence, sway and spin coverage. The CIA never really acknowledged this "Operation Mockingbird," as it was dubbed. But it happened. And some are seeing today's media as so anti-conservative, anti-truth, anti- Donald Trump, anti-American that …

Barack Obama Has Destroyed America's Healthcare
Barack Obama Has Destroyed America's Healthcare America's healthcare system has been destroyed and turned into socialism, and the fault can be squarely placed on Barack Obama. Before Barack Obama, America's healthcare was the envy of the world. After Barack Obama, America's healthcare raced down a socialized medicine path. And if you've not been to hospitals or clinics or received treatment in this before-after decade, you may have missed the changes that have taken place. But take it from …

Joe Biden Is Terrible For America
Are you better off now than you were two years ago, before Joe Biden took over as president? Most in America say -- resoundingly! -- no. Where Donald Trump was pro-America, Joe Biden is anti-America; where Donald Trump was America First, Joe Biden is American Last. The list of before-after pros-to-cons is long. And who better to discuss than a former Donald Trump administration insider? Chris Miller, who served as Trump's final defense secretary in the final days of the administration, has a …

The Real State of the Union
President Joe Biden may talk a good game about all the positives he's done for America, but truth is, the country's ailing. People are suffering.The economy's sluggish, not chugging. And the confidence of voters in this White House to do its job is low -- to put it mildly. How else to explain Biden's polls numbers, which show Americans are both tired of his failing leadership and turned off to the idea of his run for a second term? From China spy balloons flying this White House's …

Joe Biden, the Great Tempter, Emboldens Evil
President Joe Biden is so weak the world's worst actors are very, very likely plotting their moves before he leaves office, before a Republican takes to the White House, before America's weakness is turned to strength by a GOP leader. North Korea, Russia, Iran and China see opportunity. They want to act fast before they lose that opportunity. That means the next two years are going to be the most dangerous times for America, for America's allies, particularly for Israel, and for an entire …
