Elise Stefanik is to ‘warrior’ what Linda Thomas-Greenfield is to ‘LGBTQ cupcake’

Rep. Elise Stefanik has vowed in her new role as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to take on the global entity that she describes as a "den of antisemitism" and an "apologist for Iran." She also said the Oct. 7 terror attack "never would have happened" if Donald Trump, now the president-elect, were in the White House on that fateful day in 2023.

Incoming Trump administration to make science scientific again

The editor-in-chief of Scientific American recently quit her job after taking to social media to rant against Donald Trump's supporters as the "meanest" and the "dumbest," and to call Generation X-ers who voted Republican "f---ing fascists." Science, Democrat style.

Democrats won’t stop, Marxists never quit

It's been an awesome few days for patriotic Americans who've just now handed one of the most significant pro-liberty mandates since Ronald Reagan days to a Make America Great Again guy, Donald Trump. But this is just the beginning of four more years of hard fighting.

Bible in schools a basic building block for American Exceptionalism

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters says the Bible should be taught in classrooms as a means of spreading the roots and causes of American Exceptionalism. Bam. That's the next big cultural battle in America -- to bring back the Bible to the public square.

Bold & Blunt: Trump will make America prosperous again

Donald Trump was elected president, and shortly after, markets surged. This is definitely a sign of a return to solid economic growth in America. Expect fewer regulations, fewer government interventions and more entrepreneurial spirit leading to business growth in the next four years.

America more united by MAGA than leftists like to admit

The numbers are trickling in, and between the presidential elections of 2020 and 2024, President-elect Donald Trump saw dramatic increases in support at the ballot boxes from Hispanics, youth and Black people -- traditionally all voters who stick with Democrats. This has the Democrat Party trembling in its big black boots.

Distraught Democrats who still can't deal with President Trump's victory in the 2016 election will mark the upcoming first anniversary of that day — Nov. 8, 2016 — by screaming in the streets. (Philly Up)

Americans should embrace 4B feminism with gusto

Democrats disappointed over the election turnout have launched a new protest movement called 4B, whereby all the feminists of the left rise up, band together, and refuse to have sex with their men. Oh, happy day. This is truly one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread; maybe even since the wheel.

Democrat cowards suddenly see the lunacy of LGBTQs

A couple of Democrats who previously supported the right of boys to pretend to be girls and play in female sports are now suddenly singing a different tune, reversing course and claiming boys shouldn't be allowed to pretend to be girls after all. This is what comes of Donald Trump's reelection.

Bold & Blunt: Jack Smith, buh-bye! MAGA enters safe zone

Democrats are shedding big tears post-election, watching as their greatest political tool against Donald Trump go whisk, up in smoke, and disappears: that is, their weaponized judiciary. Too bad, so sad. Buh-ye, Jack Smith.

Media must accept MAGA and stop condemning Christians, patriots

A GOP pundit on CNN shut down his fellow election night panelists after telling them the truth about Donald Trump's win, and it was a truth that went like this: Dear Dems, MAGAs aren't "garbage" or "Nazis" and advancing that narrative is in large part why Kamala Harris lost. Cue Barack Obama's mic drop.

Trump won: Let the suck-up begin

Donald Trump has won. Now everyone from foreign leaders and foreign dignitaries to billionaire businessmen and more are trying to quickly turn their open MAGA hatred into "MAGA! My amigo!" As they should. But let's not forget: These are the same people who think MAGAs are garbage.

Bold & Blunt: Abortion even more evil than you know

If more people knew the hidden truths about abortion and Planned Parenthood, perhaps those advocating for abortion wouldn't so openly advocate for it any more. The evil is deeper than imagined.

A Bible sits open as Pastor Rick Mannon stands at the pulpit at Calvary Assembly of God in Wilson, Wis., Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022. Mannon's church is an outpost in the culture wars tearing at America, and a haven for people who feel shoved aside by a changing nation. Homosexuality is seen as dangerous here. Abortion is evil. The specter of one-world government looms. "If Christians don't get involved in politics, then we shouldn't have a say," Mannon says. "We can't just let evil win."

God-given rights, not Republican vs. Democrat, is the real fight for voters

Donald Trump should win. It'd be much better for America if he did. Kamala Harris, an ineffective vice president and a cackling joke of a contender for commander-in-chief, should go quietly into that night. But no matter which candidate wins, the bigger fight for Americans to wage is the one for God-given liberties.

Trump should sue Drudge Report for libel

Drudge Report blasted a headline, all in red caps, across its main, feature section Friday that went like this: "TRUMP CALLS FOR CHENEY'S EXECUTION." Except Trump didn't. He said Cheney would not be such a "war hawk" if she had guns "trained on her face." And now Trump should sue for libel.

Breaking!! Julia Roberts gives women the right to vote!

A new Democrat ad voiced by Julia Roberts shows a woman smiling sheepishly at her MAGA husband as she walks to the voting booth, makes eye contact with another woman -- a la bonds of sisterhood stare -- and then colors in the circle by Kamala Harris-Tim Waltz. Oh, she's a sneaky, wascally wabbit, that one.

Transgender tricks Christian school, plays victim, then sues

A man pretending to be a woman has filed a lawsuit against Liberty University in Virginia claiming the Christian school violated his civil rights by firing him after he disclosed he was not a woman, as he had originally presented, but rather a man. In other words: He purposely tricked Liberty so he could sue.

Bold & Blunt: Let the spiritual awakening dawn

If more Christians stayed engaged in culture and politics, then America wouldn't be walking these dark paths rights now -- that's a common sense truth that even founders warned us to abide.
