Bold & Blunt: The truths about crime in America

If you want to slow the rate of youth incarceration, the solution isn't to stop jailing criminals but rather address the roots: the family. Most criminals come from broken homes, and that's just a fact.

Free speech is not a matter of debate

Humza Yousaf, the former first minister of Scotland, is thinking of suing Elon Musk after the X owner called him "super racist" on social media. Musk, for his part, said go ahead, dude -- come and get me copper. The fact that this is even a real thing shows how much the concept of free speech has been degraded.

Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, moderated by ABC's Rachel Scott, speaks at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, July 31, 2024, in Chicago. The backlash against Trump's attack on Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity intensified on Thursday. Democrats expressed new outrage and some Republicans distanced themselves from Trump's comments that Harris only recently "turned Black" for political gain. Harris is of Jamaican and Indian heritage. Trump shrugged off the criticism and doubled down by posting on social media a new picture depicting Harris in traditional Indian garb. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)

Americans need inspiration, not politicization

On any given day, the nation's headlines will look like this: 'Donald Trump says polls showing him lagging are wrong.' 'Kamala Harris says Donald Trump is wrong.' 'Joe Biden says his favorite ice cream flavor is still chocolate chip.' This is not news. This is who-gives-a-freak filler being passed off as news.

Bold & Blunt: Fighting for your right to work

The COVID years of Big Government telling Americans they had to stay home and wait for the stimulus check, rather than go to work, have come to an end. But bureaucrats both before and after COVID have been preventing business owners from operating their businesses for reasons that are utterly ridiculous.

Cori Bush’s loss is the course correction Democrats need

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The modern Democrat Party may be a walking, talking mirror of Marxists and a shelter for the communists who walk among us. But this anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, terrorist-sympathizing tone that the Dems have adopted has got to go. And going it is -- at least for Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.

Bold & Blunt: Marxism at the gate!

Elections matter. This November's presidential election is crucial. It's the time when voters will determine if America is to be free, or if America is to fall to Marxists. But more than elections, God matters. And Americans must turn back to God if liberty is to last for the future generations.

Freedom! — but we’re all felons now

Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch talked about how some legal minds see that America has become so filled with regulations and laws that the average adult-age citizen commits at least one felony each day. Such is the state of a nation that has forgotten its foundation is God-given rights and liberties.

Back to school — back to Jew-bashing

Welcome to higher learning in America, 2024. Students have spent their summers getting ready to conduct more activist displays on college campuses aimed at supporting supposed innocent Palestinians in Gaza, i.e., aimed at ratcheting tensions against Jews.

Democrats have a new attack plot against MAGA

The American Bar Association, a group with members who lean left, is rolling out a new task force to push attorneys to use their legal platforms to fight the "serious threat" of "rising authoritarianism." They call it the task force for American democracy. This is Democrats' code for "get MAGA."

Woman-beating is now an Olympic sport

The entire LGBTQ movement isn't so much about free choice, or sexual freedom, or toleration for others' choices, or fighting against discrimination. It's not even so much about mental illness, per se. The LGBTQ campaign at root is a rebellion against God.

‘America First’ is the solution to China’s growing threats

Half of Americans taking part in a survey from Pew Research said China is the greatest threat to the United States. This is great news. If a problem cannot be fixed so long as the problem isn't recognized, then at least half of Americans are finally getting the big picture: the Chinese Communist Party is a danger to the entire world.

Bold & Blunt: Blame government for the homeless crisis

If you want to know the source of homelessness in America, look no farther than local government. That's where much of the policies and regulations and restrictions that impede the development of low-cost housing come from, and where much of the crackdown on private property rights hail.

Bold & Blunt: America vs. China is the election fight

This November's presidential election could prove the turning point in deciding which nation will lead on the world stage in the coming decades: America? Or China. America's already suffering in this race.

Supreme Court squeeze is on

President Joe Biden is expected to carry out a long-lived dream of the Democrats this week with an announced intent to term limit Supreme Court justices and to undo, legislatively speaking, the recent SCOTUS ruling on immunity.Wind him up and watch him go. My, don't Democrats love to exploit.

Harris off and running with the evil and antisemitism

Vice President Kamala Harris has barely announced her run for the presidency for 2024, but she's already ticked off America's number one ally, Israel. How so? By blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for killing "far too many" civilians in Gaza. Jane, you ignorant slut. That's called war -- you blankedly blank blank Kamala.

Biden economy an albatross around Democrats’ necks

A new poll from CNN found four in 10 adults are afraid they're not earning enough to provide for their families. That's significant in itself. But add to it the fact that this four-in-10 figure is a massive jump over the 28 percent who expressed that same fear three years ago, and suddenly Democrats have a huge problem.
