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.

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.
