Bold and Blunt

Polls steadily show that Americans do not trust the media. But a recent survey also shows that Americans by and large actually think the media are trying to deceive them -- that members of the media are actively and strategically planting lies on air and in the news pages as a means of pressing a narrative for the left. And that's called propaganda. Big corporations have certainly damaged much of journalism's integrity by forcing news employees to put profits ahead of principle and truth. But so has the deep state. Operation Mockingbird, anyone? Tucker Carlson is the latest and perhaps largest casualty of corporate media attack. Chadwick Moore, author of "Tucker," sheds light on Carlson's career, family, character and fight against Fox, which is very much alive and ongoing.

How do you define success? If it's by the number in your bank account, or by the number of cars in your driveway -- how's that working out for you? Success should be defined by the level in which the individual is capable of standing strong on principle in the face of massive attacks from evil forces. More to truth, success should be defined by how obedient an individual is to God, no matter how many satanic forces try to distract from that obedience. Standing up to the storm and refusing to cave to immoral, ungodly, untruthful wickedness: those who can do that, time and time again, years and years on end, are the ones who can be defined as truly successful. Kari Lake discusses her book, "Unafraid: Just Getting Started," based on her own fight for principles against massive leftist attacks.

Are we marching toward end times in quick-time? Some say yes; some scoff the idea. But fact is, with the birth of Israel, the clock has been tick, tick, ticking away, and it's high time believers truly turned to the signs to take note of the checkmarks. Think artificial intelligence. Think technological advances. The Internet has allowed the spread of the Gospel in areas that were previously off-limits to teaching, and it won't be long before all of the world has heard the Bible -- another check mark of end times' promises coming true. Depravity, false worship, false gods, the hardening of human hearts, the LGBTQ lies; along with wars, threats of wars, weather disasters and threats of weather disasters, the growing acceptance of satanist clubs -- these are all hurtling humanity toward a total collapse. Biblically speaking: it's a time of warning, a time of choosing. Billy Hallowell, noted culture commentator and journalist, discusses.

There's a reason people had to go to court to fight for the release of Pfizer's data about the safety and efficacy of its Covid shots: because the Big Pharma company is covering up so many lies and health hazards that its running scared from accountability. So much of what doctors and researchers are finding now about these Pfizer shots show that what was called out as conspiracy theory is actually true. For instance, these shots truly mess with a woman's reproductive system -- to the point where they may not be able to have babies. Population control? You decide. The data is shocking and frightening. Naomi Wolf, noted journalist and author, discusses her findings.

If Americans put their faith first and their politics second, and didn't worry so much about being called out for keeping their religious beliefs alive and well outside of Sunday church services, then America as a nation would never have a problem with Big Government. That's because -- as Founding Fathers said -- this republic would only remain limited in governance so long as the people were moral and virtuous -- and where is the source of morals and virtues but with God? America can no longer afford to listen as secularists and atheists try to move the nation's politics and culture to the far left by claiming religion has no place in public life. Quite the opposite. And Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, weighs in with words of wisdom on just that topic.

Christians in America have been too quiet, too complicit, too afraid of bucking the systems, too concerned with their own comfort levels -- and that has led the country, biblically speaking down this path of total peril. The culture has turned to the point where immorality is exalted and moral behaviors mocked and labeled intolerant, and that, predictably enough, has led the political system to bow to corruption. And now Christians want to cry about being persecuted? Thing is, most of the attacks on Christianity in this country are a) brought on by years and years of silence from the Christian community, which has emboldened the left to drive us in a direction of secularism and b) hardly at the level of persecution suffered by believers in other nations. Todd Nettleton discusses Christian persecution around the world, and weighs in on the state of Christianity in America.

If you wonder why politicians on Capitol Hill don't seem to be doing anything about the $31.7 trillion national debt, or even seem that concerned about it at all, fact is: many actually love keeping Americans financially insecure. Debt is a device of Democrats -- to control. Debt is also a device of the devil -- to enslave. And let's not forget the globalists, who see rising U.S. debt as a surefire means of crippling the country and crumbling it from within -- a tool of takeover and the final realization of a long-held dream. If America stumbles and falls financially, then America the free will cease to exist. So follow the lines of logic and you can easily understand why debt is more a political weapon for the anti-American forces to wield, than it is a problem to solve. Dave Brat, a former member of Congress who beat out then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for his seat, speaks about the real state of America's finances. It's bleaker than imagined.

Most American adults say in recent surveys they're pessimistic about the fate of America, they're uncertain the future generation will have it better than they did and that the era of American Exceptionalism has come to an end. There's a reason for that and it can be summarized in just a few short words: America's losing God-given rights. From there, all ails in the political world follow -- and that leads to plenty of scandals, corruption, wickedness and outright evil that is being passed as the new normal. Judge Jeanine Pirro details in her new "Crimes Against America" some of the biggest problems Americans now face, and offers up some solutions to turn the tide of pessimism back to optimism.

The debt ceiling on Capitol Hill isn't just pitting Republicans versus Democrats. It's pitting the moral versus the immoral. Debt is a device of the devil because it enslaves those who suffer from its suffocating grasp and often leads to defaults that are akin to thefts. Is this the path America is treading right now? The debt ceiling is hitting an all-time high and honestly, there's no way our children are going to pay off all that money. The debt service alone is crippling. So what's going on here? One answer is that rising debt is a strategic design of the left -- of the globalists, actually, who want to tear down America's foundations, any which way they can. They're coming for the culture. They're coming for the education systems. They're coming for the political halls of power. And they're coming for the national economy. Cal Thomas, in his newest book, "A Watchman In the Night," describes some of the perils facing America -- and the bloated spending is just one of many, many problems.

It's good to know traditional, sane Americans are still willing to fight for the nation, and if anything says "winning," it's the wins that Christian, conservative patriots have racked over Bud Light and Target in recent days. The LGBTQ agenda is being steadily pushed back into the dark corners where it belongs. Woke corporations are being reminded that they still have to worry about profits, and that the LGBTQ community only makes up a very small, very slim percentage of the nation. And simple truths, like male and female and that's all there is folks, just two sexes -- simple truths like these are being slowly restored to humanity. It's about time. It's past time, as a matter of fact. Kelley Yates, etiquette expert and author, tells why it's a good thing for society -- for polite society -- to reel in the LGBTQ madness and remind people that chaos is not kind.
