‘Evangelicals for Harris’ a curious twist of Scripture

"Evangelicals for Harris" said in a Facebook post that Kamala Harris "shines through in her clear Christian values." That's an interesting view for a woman who labels the ending of human life in the womb a "reproductive freedom" and who denies she's ever flipped on her views. Lie. And Jesus doesn't like lies.

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."

Bold & Blunt: America’s growing separation from God

If America is to stay free, America must return to God. It's only common sense: you can't have God-given rights and liberties if God is removed from the equation. What remains is a void, and that void is then filled by government. Thus, the nation morphs into one where government grants rights and liberties.

Immoral media make moves to swing election to Harris

This is what makes the media so horrible and untrustworthy these days: They're quite willing to cast aside basic journalism principles to score political points against those representing views they detest.

Debate night — and what a dance of moderator dunces it was

Donald Trump hit the issue on the head when he said Americans can't go out and "buy cereal or bacon and eggs." The moderators quickly jumped to abortion to hand Kamala Harris the open mike. Who gives a flip about a matter that's in the hands of the states to decide, which they are currently, by the way, deciding?

Bold & Blunt: Repairing America, one relationship at a time

America's reached historic levels of division, thanks in large part to the Barack Obama administration and BHO's promise to change the foundation of this nation -- and thanks in large part to the current Joe Biden White House, and its ongoing attacks against all-things-MAGA. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Elon Musk as ‘government efficiency’ czar is step in right direction

Donald Trump has spelled out some of his economic goals for his hoped-for next White House win, and nestled among the plans to "Make America Affordable Again" is this gem: appoint "X" man Elon Musk to head up a government efficiency commission to root out waste of taxpayer dollars.

Democrats are the greatest thing the devil ever invented

Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, accused Donald Trump of allowing Louisiana women to bleed to death because of his fights involving Roe v. Wade. Democrats have become so brazenly open with their ugly, lying language that they're actually making the devil envious.

COVID funding fraud a prime example of why handouts fail

Whenever government gets involved in taking tax dollars from one to give to another, the system goes bust. Government is not just a lousy manager of money. Government is totally unconcerned about its lousy money management skills because the members of government are too busy using that money to buy up votes.

Bold & Blunt: The battle for truth heats as election draws close

It's not enough for voters to watch, read or listen to news to tell which is the better political candidate. Today's voters have to be discerning to tell the truth versus lies of the many deceptions Democrats push. Kamala Harris is being created, as we speak.

The hilarious stupidity of Democrat voters

So much material; so little time. So many Democrats; so little IQ. The somber part is this: After nearly four years of a brain-dead president, the best that Democrats have to offer is -- more of the same? Yes, it's absurd. But it's also a national security issue and an international threat.

RINOs with TDS stampede to Harris’ side

More than 200 staffers and aides for the GOP rushed to send out a letter endorsing Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump, for president. Two hundred! Well, hell's bells. This is the part where Trump is probably supposed to bite his fingernails in fright and run like a little girl from the campaign trail -- right?

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders admits ‘crisis at the border’

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist who dabbles with the independents and Democrats -- wherever the votes are, there he goes -- said during a recent interview on ABC that there is a "crisis at the border." And this is interesting because socialists generally love open borders.

RFK Jr. fixes Trump’s one weak spot

Trump's one big weakness with some in the conservative camp was his COVID response. RFK's one big strength with most in the conservative camp was his COVID response. Their alliance is a meeting of mighty forces.

Harris, the ‘president of joy?’ There’s no joy in Dem-ville

Choose the "president of joy," Bill Clinton said, from the Democrats' convention stage, telling voters to pick Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. What a rebrand. File it under the famous Joseph Goebbels quote about repeating a lie often enough so that it becomes accepted as truth. This is classic Democrat propaganda.

Democrats at DNC cry ‘freedom!’ — but mean ‘control’

An interesting thing happened on the way to the formal nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democrat Party's pick for president -- namely, the DNC made a play for conservatives' bread and butter by scooping up the rallying call, "Freedom!" Gentlemen, start your gaslit engines.

DNC hoopla distracts from Democrats’ lies on economy, jobs

The big news out of Chicago is that Kamala Harris won the necessary number of votes to make her party's coup against Joe Biden valid and to formally usher her into the picture as the genuine Democrat Party pick for president. The big news to the rest of us is a million jobs just disappeared overnight.
