Leftists say ‘mistakes’ when they mean ‘lies’

Two executives for BBC resigned, citing "mistakes" made under their leadership in a documentary called "Trump: A Second Chance?" that showed President Trump calling his supporters to violently protest Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021. Umm. These aren't "mistakes." They're called lies.

Police should have to pay for damages they cause

A business owner in California who sought compensation from SWAT members after they raided and destroyed his printing shop while trying to apprehend a criminal suspect was just told by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to suck it.

Mamdani wins — watch out, Jews! — courtesy of weak Christian church

Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral seat and within minutes, in his victory speech, set his sights on Donald Trump, telling the president, daring the president -- telling all of America, really -- to "turn the volume up." He's waging war on all that is good.

Bold and Blunt: Trump’s China wins

When it comes to America versus China, the Donald Trump presidential team is making great inroads and besting out the communists the Democrats of the previous administration oh-so-gladly worked with, and now the CCP is being put on the defense. Thankfully.

Mamdani, the choice of the ignorant

There's not a socialist politician in the world who can honestly pledge to uphold the Constitution while remaining true to socialism.

Israel really handed short end of Hamas peace stick

It's not that the peace deal between Israel and Hamas is fracturing. It's more that a peace deal between the mostly peaceful Israelis and the antisemitic, hateful, violent anti-Jew Hamas terrorists was never really a viable possibility for the very common sense realization that it's impossible to live in peace with people whose sole reason for existing is to destroy you.

James Carville epitomizes today’s ugly Democrats

Democrat strategist James Carville said his fantasy is to see all those who've collaborated with President Donald Trump to be dressed in orange pajamas, have their heads shaven and then be force-marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., where the public can spit on them.

Bold and Blunt: Revival in America

Americans' trust in media may be dwindling, but when it comes to Christian media -- and Christians working in media -- the public has a different perspective, and it's one that goes like this: News watchers, readers and listeners by and large look to those of faith to give them reports they trust.

Media is truly failing its mission to tell the truth

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Huffington Post journalist S.V. Date traded some widely reported barbs the other day rooted in large part over the insistence of Date to pretend not to be a hack for the Democrat Party. But here's the thing. All things HuffPost are now hack.

Bold and Blunt: Israel makes peace, Hamas fights peace

Israel has won back its hostages from Hamas -- but the future of the 20-point peace plan forged in large part by the White House has some sticking points. And it's not clear if the terror group is going to abide all the terms. This is not to say peace is not possible, though

Bold & Blunt: Fight for health freedom rages on

One of America's core individual freedoms -- and not just freedom, but right -- is the one about choosing which medical treatments to take and which medical treatments to refuse. All that was thrown out during COVID years.

Mamdani couldn’t be any more open about his un-Americanism

Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner candidate for New York City's mayoral seat, stood side-by-side, arm-in-arm for a photo with a Muslim cleric named Sir Wahhaj, who's been linked to the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, as well as to other terror plots. It really doesn't get any clearer than this.

Sign zee papahs! The Pentagon’s absurd new press policies

Just because Democrats are tyrants and just because the press pools are filled with Democrat-loving, tyrant-enabling journalists who carry water for their Dem friends doesn't mean conservatives have to behave like Democrats. Tit-for-tat is not a solution.

Manning up: More men than women heading back to church

Newly released findings from Barna's State of the Church initiative show that 43 percent of men are attending weekly church services versus 36 percent of women and that it's the males in the Generation X and millennial age groups especially who are filling the pews.
