Bold & Blunt: The prophetic return of Donald Trump

Post-election statistics show that 56% of the 72% of self-identifying Christian voters on November 5 chose Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. But what of the thought that God Himself chose Trump to lead America?

Health care propaganda takes full root

Gallup found in a new survey that 62 percent of Americans now see it as the federal government's responsibility to ensure all have health care. This is a devastating blow to freedom.

Barack Obama calls for ‘pluralism’ — code for communism

Barack Obama, during remarks delivered before the 2024 Democracy Forum in Chicago, called out the polarized political atmosphere exploited by money-grubbers in the media and said what America really needs to restore "democracy" is a "renewed commitment to pluralist principles." It's a call for collectivism.

Democrats go full-blown messianic complex on pardons

On the heels of President Biden's sweeping pardon of son Hunter's crimes -- both convicted and acknowledged, as well as any he may or may not have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024 -- comes this call from other Democrats: Hey, let's get everybody pardoned for everything before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated!

Bold & Blunt: Hunter skates, J6-ers rot

President Joe Biden has given his son, Hunter, the pardon of all pardons, basically excusing him from consequences for his felony convictions and crimes, but also excusing him from any crimes he may or may not have done between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. But what about the J6 protesters?

And like that, a couple more judges tip their anti-MAGA hats

Sen. Mitch McConnell has blasted a couple of federal judges who had announced plans to step from their leadership roles, but have since reversed course and decided to stay -- all coincidentally after the election results poured in, giving Donald Trump the victory. And like that, they've shown their anti-MAGA ways.

Bible sales boom, and that’s the best news for America, yet

The good news is President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris and Republicans won majorities in both the House and Senate and that means the adults are poised to enter the positions of influence and leadership in the new year. The better news is Bible sales in America are booming.

Joe Biden lied and whoosh, Hunter’s sins are disappeared

Joe Biden said he would never use his position of presidential power to pardon his son and save him from his felony jail sentences. But in a late-night Sunday move -- the day of the Lord -- he did. Talk about a mocking of justice.

Democrats simply cannot be trusted

Democrats are currently going through a period of self-reflection, trying to piece together the reasons why they came up so short with voters this time around, even telling The Hill, "We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable." Umm. Du'oh.

Bold & Blunt: Jack Smith called Obama’s ‘enforcer’

Jack Smith may be leaving behind his many, many prosecutorial persecutions of President-elect Donald Trump. But he leaves behind a trail of destruction. To at least one of his targets, he's known as Barack Obama's "enforcer."

Transgender madness is an evil that must be stopped

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill into law that bars boys pretending to be girls from using bathrooms and changing rooms in public schools and universities in Ohio, and instead forces them to use the facilities that correspond with their birth sex. That's good. That's a step. But it's only a step.

Bold & Blunt: Missiles and mines and more war, oh my

Whispers are that President Joe Biden has kicked off World War 3 in his final days of White House leadership, by reversing long-standing U.S. policy to prevent Ukraine from launching American missiles into Russia. Suddenly, two more months of Biden administration seem very, very long.

Bold & Blunt: Christians, no time to sleep!

Yes, Donald Trump won the White House; thankfully, Donald Trump won the White House. But this is no time for Christians and conservatives and those who understand the Judeo-Christian founding of this nation to go quiet and go to sleep.

Bold & Blunt video: ICC’s day of reckoning is coming

The International Criminal Court has two months left of the Joe Biden administration -- and then in comes Donald Trump and wait for it, wait for it, let the face-slapping of the global entity commence. Call it the day of reckoning.

Jack Smith forced to drop all False-y McFalse Face felony charges aimed at Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith filed to drop all four of the felonies he charged at Presdent-elect Donald Trump for the crime of telling the American people on Jan. 6, 2021, to peacefully protest, err, oops, to violently storm the U.S. Capitol and incite a riot. When asked why, he said with tears in his eyes, "The plan failed. Trump won." Not really. But it could happen.

LGBTQ radicalism is about as ungodly as it gets

Rep. Nancy Mace has launched a crusade against men pretending to be women and entering female bathrooms at the Capitol -- a campaign that's received the thumbs-up of Speaker Mike Johnson and one she now wants to see go nationwide in all federal buildings. As it should. And it should. And then some.
