A federal appeals court has denied a Southern California church's request to overturn the state's coronavirus restrictions barring worship services indoors during the coronavirus pandemic. The Sacramento Bee says Friday, Jan. 22, 2021, ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals leaves the door open for addressing Gov. Gavin Newsom administration's limits on church attendance if a California county is in a less-restrictive COVID-19 tier. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)

Government spies in California church slapped with lawsuit

Calvary Christian Fellowship -- formerly Calvary Chapel San Jose -- has slapped Santa Clara County officials with a lawsuit for spying on members during the state's mandated COVID-related lockdown. Honestly. The U.S. government, with each passing day, is growing more and more like a China CCP cancer.

Bold & Blunt: Searching for sanity in an insane world

Democrats have gone socialist -- Marxist -- communist! Republicans have gone quiet on matters they need to go loud on. And the president is a puppet whose biggest concern is more focused on ice cream stops than on Maui, anti-American globalism, CCP dominance and the U.S. economy. What's happening?

Maui: There but for the grace of God go all

President Biden made a much-awaited, widely watched visit to the devastation called Maui fire, and with the ghosts of more than 100 dead drifting in the background, cracked jokes about a dog. It's notable that not only did it take Biden 13 days to visit Maui, but that after his comic bit, most wished he had stayed in D.C.

Vatican hypocrisy on America’s ‘inhuman’ border control grows intolerable

The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano just ran a front page headline decrying "that inhuman wire" -- "quel filo disumano" -- in reference to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border protection, above a photograph of illegal crossers caught among the concertina wire crosshairs. And Americans ought to go: Bite me.

Bold & Blunt: Democrats’ big folly

One thing Democrats can be counted on to do, and that's go too far. And that's exactly what they're doing with the indictment after indictment after indictment of Donald Trump. "Donald Trump stands in their way," said Monica Crowley, best-selling author, podcaster, media pundit and former Trump Team official.

Zombie nation: Marijuana, Adderall and the destruction of America

America is becoming a nation of druggies. Whether these drugs are prescribed, illegal, legalized for recreational use or a combination of all three, the minds of Americans, both young and old, are being compromised. There's no way to look at that reality without also acknowledging a larger societal effect. And it ain't a good one.

Heartbreaking erasure of women’s sports — of women — continues

A man pretending to be a woman -- and who claims he's been a woman for the last 20 years or so -- blew up the woman's powerlifting record in Canada, with a lift that was about 500 pounds more than any female in that nation's history. The heartbreaking erasure of women's sports -- of women -- goes on.

Democrats’ obsessive bowing to their god of environmentalism

We all know Democrats are hypocrites. But the left's obsession with environmentalism and climate-based regulatory controls go beyond politics, into the realm of cultish. Truly, environmentalism is the left's religion. And they've become fanatical about it. They're capturing the youth.

Bold & Blunt: Public schools teach kids subversion techniques

It's not just about teaching that capitalism is evil. It's about filling the minds of the youngest and most vulnerable that America itself is evil -- and must be changed. This is why the public schools might have finally reached the stage of unfixable.

Bold & Blunt: Joe Biden and his climate foolishness

It's bad enough America has a White House leader that's weak. But it's even worse when the policies that this president is able to advance are all the anti-American ones. Witness: climate change.

Police raid on Kansas newspaper latest sign of America’s downfall

These aren't the best of times. These are the worst of times. A simple allegation can oh-so-quickly turn into a cause to toss out the Constitution. This is what happens when a nation formed on a model of God first, government subservient, abandons that premise and flips the structure of power.

Former President Donald Trump speaks at a fundraiser event for the Alabama GOP, Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, in Montgomery, Ala. Just one month after Donald Trump’s January 2021 phone call to suggest Georgia’s secretary of state could overturn his election loss, District Attorney Fani Willis announced she was looking into possibly illegal “attempts to influence” the results.

Trump’s indictments all the more reason to vote for him

Another day, another Donald Trump indictment. The takeaway is this: The more indictments fly Trump's way, the more voters should dig down and decide he's the guy to elect in 2024. At this point, voters should choose Trump because of the indictments, not in spite of them.

Bold & Blunt: Perils from across the pond

Digital currency is coming. And that means individual freedom is going. Former Brexit Party political candidate and patriot across the pond -- Jim Ferguson in the United Kingdom --has much to say about the massive perils to freedom that are taking place at the hands of governments around the world.

The SBC confronted a sex-abuse crisis in the form of an investigation by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News. The newspapers reported that hundreds of Southern Baptist clergy and staff had been accused of sexual misconduct over the past 20 years. (Vernon Bryant/The Dallas Morning News via AP, File)

Fear in the church: Too many of God’s people afraid to fight

Sixty-nine percent of Protestant pastors in a Lifeway Research survey said they see a "growing sense of fear" among their congregants, and another 63%, that their pews are also filled with people who feel "dread" about the "future of Christianity" in America and around the world. That explains a lot.

Tipping toward fatigue: Consumers exploited by entitlement workforce

It's bad enough America raised a generation to expect trophies simply for the so-called achievement of participating -- in so doing, fueling an entitlement culture. Now we've got to add to this entitlement mindset by tipping service workers simply for the achievement of doing what they're paid to do, anyway?

In this Aug. 30, 2021, file photo provided by the U.S. Air Force, soldiers, assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, prepare to board a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. A State Department report says the department failed to do enough contingency planning before the collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan. The review repeatedly blames the administration of former President Donald Trump for not doing enough planning or processing of visas after beginning the withdrawal.

Gold Star families deserve better than Biden

Thirteen American service members were killed during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan -- a botching that was overseen by President Biden. But Biden understands how the family members of these military heroes feel because his son, Beau, died of cancer. How clueless. How self-absorbed.
