Bold & Blunt: Joe Biden and his climate foolishness
It's bad enough America has a White House leader that's weak. But it's even worse when the policies that this president is able to advance are all the anti-American ones. Witness: climate change. Published August 15, 2023
Police raid on Kansas newspaper latest sign of America’s downfall
These aren't the best of times. These are the worst of times. A simple allegation can oh-so-quickly turn into a cause to toss out the Constitution. This is what happens when a nation formed on a model of God first, government subservient, abandons that premise and flips the structure of power. Published August 15, 2023
Trump’s indictments all the more reason to vote for him
Another day, another Donald Trump indictment. The takeaway is this: The more indictments fly Trump's way, the more voters should dig down and decide he's the guy to elect in 2024. At this point, voters should choose Trump because of the indictments, not in spite of them. Published August 14, 2023
Bold & Blunt: Perils from across the pond
Digital currency is coming. And that means individual freedom is going. Former Brexit Party political candidate and patriot across the pond -- Jim Ferguson in the United Kingdom --has much to say about the massive perils to freedom that are taking place at the hands of governments around the world.

Fear in the church: Too many of God’s people afraid to fight
Sixty-nine percent of Protestant pastors in a Lifeway Research survey said they see a "growing sense of fear" among their congregants, and another 63%, that their pews are also filled with people who feel "dread" about the "future of Christianity" in America and around the world. That explains a lot. Published August 11, 2023
FBI’s alarming targeting of Catholics as ‘potential terrorists’ grows more alarming
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray may have testified under oath to Congress that a memo calling out Catholics as "potential terrorists" was a "single product by a single field office." But turns out the good director lied. Or, in deep state lingo, that he erroneously stated facts in a manner that was unintentionally false. Published August 10, 2023
Bold & Blunt: America’s money laundering problem
Three-hundred billion dollars per year: That's the amount that's laundered in America each year. And that's a problem that needs to be speedily fixed. Published August 10, 2023
Tipping toward fatigue: Consumers exploited by entitlement workforce
It's bad enough America raised a generation to expect trophies simply for the so-called achievement of participating -- in so doing, fueling an entitlement culture. Now we've got to add to this entitlement mindset by tipping service workers simply for the achievement of doing what they're paid to do, anyway? Published August 10, 2023
Gold Star families deserve better than Biden
Thirteen American service members were killed during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan -- a botching that was overseen by President Biden. But Biden understands how the family members of these military heroes feel because his son, Beau, died of cancer. How clueless. How self-absorbed. Published August 9, 2023
Democrats hitting brick wall with younger voters
The midterms may have seen a surprising surge of young voters for Democrats, and the youthful Gen-Zers may have helped push Joe Biden's presidential tally in 2020, but that was then, this is now. Democrats are losing the youth and quite possibly, the youth vote. They brought it on themselves. Published August 8, 2023
‘In God We Trust’ makes a comeback
Louisiana just signed into law a requirement that all public school administrators make sure the motto "In God We Trust" is displayed in every classroom, in every building, in every district. It's a law that's been passed in several other states of late as well. Praise the Lord. God is making a comeback in America. Published August 7, 2023
Bold & Blunt: When police harm, not help
Police are good. But sometimes they do bad. And it's incumbent on the American citizenry to hold police accountable when they do bad. Published August 4, 2023
Big Pharma’s outrageous, despicable multibillion-dollar tax dodge
Americans who earn well may have to pay as much as 37% of income in taxes each year. But not so the pharmaceuticals. For 2022, eight Big Pharma companies scooped a combined $110 billion in profits, but they only paid a combined $2 billion in U.S. taxes. That's about 2%. They exploit the free market. Published August 4, 2023
Democrats and their futile targeting of Trump and patriotic America
Jack Smith is a man who enjoys pointing fingers and thunderously proclaiming wrongs and self-righteously swooping to attack. He doesn't prosecute so much as persecute. That makes him the man of the hour for Democrats. But Americans have awakened to the awareness Dems serve dark lords. Published August 4, 2023
Biden, Democrats have a hate affair with the First Amendment
White House officials during the coronavirus years pressed Facebook-slash-Meta censors to strip away memes that poked fun of COVID-19 shots, according to the platform's internal documents. This White House hates the First Amendment. Published August 3, 2023
Bold & Blunt: Society’s dangerous downgrade of men
Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, retired, said America's facing a problem of masculinity -- that is to say, a failure to raise and respect godly men -- and that all of society is suffering from this mass wussification of the male. Too true. Published August 2, 2023
COVID ‘surge,’ COVID ‘uptick’ and leprosy — and so it begins
Headlines are ablaze with alerts about a summertime COVID-19 "uptick," and worse, a summertime COVID-19 "surge," and as the medical experts everywhere are advising: Keep a face mask handy; stay on the COVID-19 shot schedule; listen up for lockdowns. Hmm. An important election must be coming. Published August 2, 2023
Rand Paul’s heroic try to hold lyin’ Fauci to the fires of accountability
Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, referred criminal charges against Anthony Fauci to the Justice Department, accusing the good doctor of outright lying -- a crime when it's done during congressional testimony -- about funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan. Published August 1, 2023
U.N. and its ‘global boiling’ nonsense
Climate change isn't just "here," according to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. It's "terrifying." It's "just the beginning." And it's moved from "global warming" to "global boiling," with air that is "unbreathable" and heat that is "unbearable," he said. Right-o. That used to be called summer. Published July 31, 2023
Bold & Blunt: Selling the dream of America, not the doom
If someone asks you what's so great about America, what would you say? Here's an answer: that in this country, individual rights come from God and government is in the role of servant to protect those inherent liberties. Published July 28, 2023
