Democrats mull — gasp! — straight, White, Christian man for 2028

The Democrat Party's donors, leaders and strategists are talking up 2028, wondering how best to win back the White House and concluding that their great hope lies with -- gasp! -- get this: a heterosexual, White, Christian male. Oh, the horrors this thought must bring to the left.

‘No Kings’ sets leftist lies and lunacy on display

Tens of thousands of anti-Donald Trumpers took to the streets over the weekend for rallies against the president -- and sanity. Billed as "No Kings" events, the Internet was quick to point out the protesters have already got what they wanted. America hasn't elected a king since -- well, ever.

WATCH: Jihad in America is real and it’s happening

Dr. Isik Abla, a radical Islamist who once dreamed of jihad but then turned to Christianity, said the terror cells within America are real and what's taking place in the U.K. -- with the mass migration of Muslims and their societal takeover of European culture -- could indeed happen in the United States.

LISTEN: Dangers to our republic abound

America's first president, George Washington, sent out clear warnings about the various ways in which the blossoming republic would be attacked. And sadly, Americans didn't heed the warnings.

Democrats and their love affair with men’s tampons

Maryland may be facing financial deficits and budgetary hardships, but that's not stopping lunatic Democrats from pushing to spend tax dollars on tampons for men. Next up: tax-paid Breastfeeding 101 classes for pregnant males? Perhaps Pete Buttigieg could be the featured speaker.

Free the lobstermen! Fire the bureaucrats

Frank Thompson, a fifth-generation Maine lobsterman, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put a stop to a federal policy requiring all licensed lobstermen to install GPS trackers on their boats so government entities can monitor their moves. Good Lord, government. Let the lobstermen go free, for crying out loud.

America’s growing political elitism problem

Michele Tafoya, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota, said one way Americans could deal with rising gasoline prices is to "maybe" "take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further." Are Americans supposed to say thank you, Michele?

Iran’s war on America is real

The chant from Iran for 40-plus years has been "death to Israel, death to America, death to the West" -- meaning, radical Islamism is not a regional threat, or a country vs. country threat, but rather a global assault on freedom, justice, equality, law and order.

Billionaires backtrack on so-called Giving Pledge

The Giving Pledge that saw dozens of billionaires publicly promise to distribute half their fortunes to charities has fallen out of favor and now there's a sort of backlash taking place. This is the natural result of a charitable endeavor that never was so much charity as it was about self-promotion.

WATCH: Want freedom? Don’t vote Democrat

One of the Democrats' most ingenious means of redistributing wealth while stealing individual freedoms is through radical environmentalism and using the scare tactics of climate change.

In this Dec. 11, 2018 file photo, Irineo Mujica, activist with "Pueblo Sin Fronteras," or People Without Borders, center, is accompanied by an unidentified man as he enters the U.S. consulate during a demonstration by Central American migrants in Tijuana, Mexico.  The activist group that escorted thousands of Central Americans to the U.S. border is under fire from allies and some of the migrants themselves. They say the organization downplayed the dangers of the trek and misled them about how long they would have to wait around to apply for asylum. Pueblo Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, is defending itself, saying the migrants made their own decision to press on toward the United States. (AP Photo/Moises Castillo)

Bold and Blunt: Christians shouldn’t call for open borders

It's far too common for today's ministers and preachers and faith leaders to call on their congregations to support open borders based on the notion that Jesus is a socialist and views all humans equally. But that's a skewing of biblical truths. Protecting borders is indeed biblically sound.

WATCH: Religious liberty and how Trump saved America

President Trump has flipped the switch of anti-Christianity, anti-religion, anti-faith that was driving the nation under Democrat leadership, and in so doing, has "saved the nation," said Great American Media CEO and president Bill Abbott.

U.S. adults say it’s more wrong to view porn than abort a baby

A new survey from the Pew Research Center to rate the morality of nine different behaviors and actions, from consuming alcohol to having an extramarital affair, found more U.S. adults find it unacceptable to watch pornography than abort a baby. That's quite a culture shift -- and shock.
