Is your church failing you? What does that even mean? In a day and age of rising secularism, a rise of religious "nones" and a fall in church attendance, it's difficult to discern causes from effects. But one thing is certain: churches closed during the coronavirus, at a time when many frightened Americans most needed spiritual guidance. And that's a bad place for a nation founded on God-given liberties to find itself. In short, it's impossible to keep God-given liberties intact if God is removed from the equation -- and it's difficult to keep God as a priority in society if churches are closed by government dictate. Dr. Matt Queen discusses the state of America's religion, and whether churches are failing to do a very basic duty that should be automatic: inviting attendees to accept Christ as their savior.

It's the 75th anniversary of Israel and if you look at what's taking place in that country, with that country's leaders, namely with that country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his fight to bring about much-needed judicial reforms, it's uncanny: the comparisons with America are obvious. As leftists hate Donald Trump, so leftists hate Bibi. As a deep state permeates U.S. politics, so a deep state permeates Israeli politics. Of special note is an ongoing fight to bring about reforms in the judicial system that pro-reformers -- like Bibi -- say are necessary in order to keep intact the wills of the voting people and that anti-reformers -- leftists, deep staters, and the like -- say are pathways to fascism. Sound familiar? Making sense of all-things-Israel is Gol Kalev, on the ground in Israel and author of a new book, "Judaism 3.0," who says the Jewish state is on the cusp of big changes.

January 6: Questions and Answers

Are you clear on the facts of January 6? If you're not, then you're far from alone. Separating truths from myths about this protest-slash-resurrection is a modern day "Who Shot JFK?" puzzler. And part of the reason is the vicious hatred of those who are supposed to be the guardians of truth toward Donald Trump. Trusting those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome to stick with the facts on January 6 and to not go into la-la land to score political points would be pure fallacy -- especially as more and more videos emerge showing the popular narrative of the TDS sufferers is skewed. Nobody knows a January 6 truth from lie like those whose family members have been scooped into the D.C. jail system because of their presence on Capitol Hill on that fateful day, though. And here to give account is one such family member: Cynthia Hughes, whose nephew was arrested. She says due process was thrown out the window -- and that her nephew is not the only victim of politicized and weaponized justice.

President Joe Biden has just announced he's running for another four years in the White House. And his announcement, not-so-coincidentally, comes as Democrats have unleashed massive attacks, once again, against their favorite target: Donald J. Trump. They've also found cause to go after conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Call it the go-to political game for leftists: no principle, all bluster and bogus blaming and shaming. Biden has no accomplishments on which to campaign so his platform has to be all about anti-MAGA, anti-Trump, anti-Trump supporters. The media and his Democrat Party minions are only too happy to do his dirty work and mudsling all the live-long day -- so long as it keeps out Trump, keeps quiet conservatives. How successful will they be? Robert Bork Jr. weighs in with his legal-minded expertise.

America's sovereignty is facing a massive danger from the World Health Organization, thanks in large part to the fact this president, Joe Biden, is all-in with the global bureaucrats. The WHO has for some time been pushing a global treaty on pandemic responses, and if passed, if signed, if ratified in the United States, would strip America's ability to decide its own course of action on health-related matters. Imagine the likes of a Bill Gates -- who is a top funder of the China-loving WHO -- having at his disposal the power to tell Americans how to deal with the next emerging virus. More than that, imagine the likes of a Bill Gates having at his disposal the power to decide what constitutes a pandemic. The possibilities for control would be endless. Yet that is what the WHO wants -- and that is what Joe Biden is quite OK with -- and that is the threat America faces that could result in the final blow to sovereignty. Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy, is fighting back hard.

The younger generations are simultaneously turning away from God and from America; their belief in God is dwindling, and so, too, their love for America. The natural outcome of this secularized disregard for American Exceptionalism is an emerging batch of leaders who think this nation is just like any other -- which means this nation will soon enough become like any other -- which means this nation will ultimately crumble. Democrats, socialists, Marxists, collectivists and the like actively encourage the younger generations to hate America and to believe in government over God -- and eventually, to believe in government as God. And they actively court this mentality because it gives them the political tools they need to seize powers and control. There is pushback, however, to this leftist wickedness. Tuttle Twins cartoon developer Daniel Harmon talks about the efforts he's making to train children in the pro-American way to go, using the power of the television set.  

If you had to count the ways President Joe Biden is placing America in peril because of feckless foreign policy, there would definitely be double digits involved. China, just this past weekend, has been pushing hard toward Taiwan -- and who knows where Biden will ultimately fall in terms of helping keep democracy in place on the island. The question is: Should America get involved? Already millions, billions, maybe even (one day) trillions of U.S. dollars are being spent to save Ukraine from Russia. Should taxpayers send more away from domestic purposes to save yet another government? Fact is, if Biden weren't so weak, if his administration weren't so feckless, if his White House wasn't so cowardly, then the world's hostile players wouldn't be so emboldened to make their hostile moves in the first place. What America needs is a return to America First policies so that America's liberties would stand strong, and the message of America to the world -- don't mess with freedom! -- would stand similarly strong. Colonel Grant Newsham, author of the new "When China Attacks," discusses.  

Christians around the world are celebrating one of the holiest, if not the holiest, times of year for believers -- Easter -- which recognizes the sacrifices of Jesus Christ on the cross, when he died for all of humanity's sins and then was resurrected three days later. But even for steadfast believers there are certain stories in the Bible the prove a challenge to faith. One of them is the Genesis account of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. At the last second, God stayed his command and prevented Abraham from inflicting the fatal stab. But Christians nonetheless wonder: Why did God order Abraham to sacrifice his son, anyway? Isn't that evidence of God's cruelty? And for the non-believer, this biblical story has historically proven a sticking point. Now comes a new movie about just this story to show a) God is not cruel and b) God loves his creations and would never harm them. David Helling discusses "His Only Son," a movie in nearly 2,000 theaters in America about the famous Genesis story.

The Takedown of Donald Trump and America

The indictments against Donald Trump aren't simply indictments against Donald Trump -- they're aimed at attacking, stopping and silencing the entire patriotic American class summarized by the simple phrase: America First proponents. Leftists think that once they silence Trump -- once they remove Trump from the public political square -- that all those dastardly conservatives in America who've supported Trump, and who continue to support Trump, will similarly go away. But the backlash against far-leftist political tactics, as epitomized by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, is brewing. Trump and his America First principles will not go quietly. America stands at a dangerous precipice right now and just a couple more steps will see a tumble into a valley of Marxist, collectivist, communist agendas that will destroy freedom as we know it -- that will decimate American Exceptionalism -- that will obliterate the notion of God-given liberties. Army Black Hawk pilot turned country music star Ryan Weaver discusses some of the problems facing America, and how we might win back the principles that made us great.
