Migrants are taken into custody by officials at the Texas-Mexico border, Jan. 3, 2024, in Eagle Pass, Texas. The Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, extended a stay on a new Texas law that would empower police to arrest migrants suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The order puts the law on hold until at least Monday while the high court considers a challenge by the Justice Department, which has called the law an unconstitutional overreach.

Democrats join call for Biden to tighten border

Fourteen Democrats joined with 212 Republicans on a resolution calling for President Biden to tighten up America's borders and use his executive powers to slow the surge of illegals entering the country. You know the border has gone wide open when even Democrats are calling for law and order.

Kamala Harris throws Israel under the bus

Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, representing the sharpest rebuke yet from this White House to Israel to lay down arms against Hamas terrorists. Way to throw Israel under the bus, Kamala.

Trump — winning, despite attackers shifting into high gear

Donald Trump is raking in the wins, and carrying about a 5-point lead over President Biden among the nation's registered voters, a New York Times/Siena College poll just found. With women -- he's gaining. With minorities -- he's gaining. With gays -- he's fulfilling their "wildest dreams." Wait. What?

Christian nationalists to the rescue! America needs more

Democrats are up-in-arms because a pastor from California, Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, dared pray in Congress -- as an invited guest chaplain of Speaker Mike Johnson -- in a manner that advanced the truths of the Bible. How dare he. Right?

Biden’s ‘uncommitted’ voter problem bodes darkly for Israel

President Biden sailed to victory in the Michigan primary, winning more than 80 percent of the vote. But 13 percent of what should have been his support chose instead to vote "uncommitted." Why? They're angry that he's not been able to stop Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from striking back at Hamas terrorists.

State Department is woke, woker, wokest

Yay, Team Biden. It really doesn't get any weaker when the very agency tasked with protecting America's security interests is more concerned with coddling the feelings of rainbow-dyed-haired losers who dress in furry cat costumes and live in mommy's basement.

Bold & Blunt video: Rafah, front and center, as Hamas hides among civilians

All eyes are on Rafah, the border area of Gaza and Egypt, where a million Palestinians have huddled to escape the war between Israeli's military and Hamas terrorists, but Egypt's not letting most cross and America's putting the onus for their safety on Benjamin Netanyahu. And tensions are rising, rising, rising.

Harvard leads in Ivy League’s pitiful race to the bottom

The once-fine Harvard University has become a school of disrepute. So, too, most all of the Ivy Leagues. Who wants to send their kids to an Ivy League anymore? The schools are plagued by antisemites, dotted with plagiarists and dominated by leftist loons.

Bold & Blunt video: Team Biden ticks off Israel — again

Antony Blinken said during a recent visit to Israel that Hamas terrorists dehumanized the Jewish people during the October 7 terror attack -- but then suggested Israelis were also dehumanizing Palestinians. Talk about drawing a moral equivalency where no moral equivalency exists

In this July 17, 2015, photo, flowers and a portrait of Kate Steinle remain at a memorial site on Pier 14 in San Francisco. A California federal judge on Monday, June 6, 2022, sentenced the Mexican national who shot Steinle along a San Francisco pier to the seven years he's already spent in jail. The sentence brings to a legal close a tragedy that ignited a national firestorm over immigration, crime, and sanctuary cities such as San Francisco.

Alex ‘A.J.’ Wise, the Kate Steinle for Trump 2024

Rogelio Ortiz-Olivas, a 50-year-old illegal alien who's been deported five times, was arrested in Midland, Texas, and charged with drunk driving and hit-and-run in a crash that killed a 10-year-old boy, Alex "A.J." Wise Jr., as he walked home from school. Border control, border control, border control -- it's the border, stupid.

Bold & Blunt: Digging deeper on Founding Fathers

One of the most hotly contested political debates of modern day goes like this: What would Founding Fathers do if they were alive today? The problem is most Americans aren't taught truthful history about founders any more. So the divides on the topic grow wider.

California joins credit card companies to spy on gun buyers

Mastercard, Visa and American Express have agreed to comply with a new California law that will allow banks to track guns and ammo purchases. In other words: tracking you. The solution? Remember: Cash is not only king, it's much less traceable.

Mayorkas gets the impeachment black mark he deserves

The House in a 214-213 nighttime vote impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the first Cabinet member since 1876 to be painted with the black mark. It's well deserved.
