Democrats furious as Elon Musk bests George Soros

Where were the cries of criminal behavior while George Soros was busily buying up district attorneys and attorneys general so as to completely uproot America's justice system? When Soros buys elections, it's A-OK. When Elon Musk starts up an "encourage the vote" campaign, suddenly Democrats see a problem.

Democrats in quiet ways concede power of Trump

Democrats realize their Marxist brand of lunacy isn't selling well with voters. In quiet ways, they're conceding former President Donald Trump has what Americans want. They're just not conceding the election, yet. But that will come Nov. 5.

America’s frightening pro-Iran, anti-Israel intel leak

The FBI is leading an investigation into leaked U.S. intel that reportedly stopped Israel from launching its planned counterattack against Iran. Holy cow. An America that's seen as favoring terror-sponsoring Iran over longtime friend and ally Israel -- not a good look.

Bold & Blunt video: Jews in Israel wonder if U.S. can be trusted

Israel reportedly delayed its strike on Iran after a still-unnamed source, likely in the Joe Biden administration, leaked crucial attack intelligence on a messaging app frequented by Iranians. And now Jews in Israel wonder if they can trust America.

Bold & Blunt: A better way to stop abortions

There are hundreds of thousands of abortions that take place in America each year. That's a number that should have every Christian on edge, and questioning how to more effectively help these girls and women before they make the decision to abort.

Democrats, Obama continue to bleed Black votes

Former President Barack Obama is out and about on the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris, telling Black voters basically they better vote for her in the presidential election, or they ain't Black. But the message is falling flat. He's losing his magic touch. The race card isn't proving effective.

Christians must vote for the sake of culture and the Constitution

Leftists -- Democrats -- have successfully silenced much of the Christian voice in politics, and they've done it by threatening Internal Revenue Service action, by threatening lawsuits, by threatening protests and intimidation campaigns and rallies in the streets and media-fueled public condemnations.

Harris advances big Democrat ‘democracy’ lie

Kamala Harris, in an interview with Fox's Bret Baier that will dot campaign trails for generations to come as a classic textbook example of What Not To Do, slipped in during her off-the-rails critique of Donald Trump that America is "a democracy." No, it isn't. America is a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

Columbia University bizarrely bars pro-Israel professor from campus

Columbia University, which tolerated for weeks the presence of pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas agitators on campus, has just banned a loudmouth. His name is Shai Davidai. He's an assistant professor in the business school. And interestingly, he's an avid pro-Israel advocate. The optics just ain't good on this.

Taliban take full advantage of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris fecklessness

Nice job, Joe Biden. Great job, Kamala Harris. The botched withdrawal of Afghanistan has not just been an embarrassment to America; it's been a total betrayal of American interests and allies. That they're still billing it a success is nothing short of gaslighting and lies.

Christians who fail to vote are shameful

Roughly 104 million people of faith, including 41 million Christians, say they're not going to vote this November. That's not just a dereliction of patriotic and biblical duties. It's an open door to demonic forces to steal away this nation's government.

Sheriff-gone-nuts on bungled burger order shows arrogance of civil service sector

Sheriff Craig Owens was so angry at Burger King employees for botching his order, he called for police backup and faster than he could finish singing "have it your way," three siren-blasting cop cars arrived on the scene. If only individuals being robbed in the streets could get such a show of police response.

Bold & Blunt: November beckons, as world erupts in flames

This November is a crucial turning point for America, for Israel, for free societies of the world -- because the two candidates for the White House couldn't be more different in their approaches to policies and platforms.

That’s rich: Democrats decimate economy, then blame businesses

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Madeleine Dean, both Democrats, sent cease and desist letters to heads of major companies about "shrinkflation" -- the practice of cutting portion and product sizes while jacking up prices to consumers. That's rich. As if the Democrats themselves weren't to blame for causing the shrinkflation in the first place.

Corporate DEI’s long, slow, happy death

Toyota, facing backlash about forced Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training as well as its sponsorship of pro-LGBTQ events, is reeling in the woke and changing its mind about participating in measures pushed by the leftist advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign. Yay. Another DEI agenda bites the dust.
