  • Losing Religion, Losing American Exceptionalism
    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.

  • God Save America From Feckless Joe Biden
    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.

  • He Is Risen! An Easter Story of Faith
    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 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.

  • Joe Biden's Latest Epic Fail on China-Russia Alliance
    President Joe Biden has many, many failures to his name. But it's his failure to properly address the growing alliance between Russia and China that's most problematic for America right now. Not only is he emboldening two of America's greatest enemies. But worse, Biden's completely tossing off -- mocking -- the idea that these two nations are forming a dangerous alliance. That's "exaggerated," he said, when asked by a reporter about the blossoming warm-and-fuzzies between Russia and China. Oh, woe is America. With a leader this weak, how can the nation survive? Maxine Albert chats "Pandemonium: China's Global Strategy to Cripple America," penned by her late husband, Curtis Ellis.

  • Time To Start Calling Out LGBTQ As Mental Disorder
    On the heels of a shooting by a transgender at a private Christian school in Tennessee that left three children and three adults dead, perhaps it's high time to return to societal recognition of the LGBTQ movement as rooted in mental disorder and filled with people who are psychologically disturbed. It wasn't so long ago that men who thought they could change their sex at will and become women, and vice versa, were treated for psychological problems, labeled as victims of gender dysphoria. But to dare suggest today that transgenderism is a mental illness in need of professional help is to invite condemnation. Ryan Bomberger, who heads up The Radiance Foundation with his wife, Bethany, discusses. Who would have thought the Bombergers' new book, "She Is She," would be regarded as radical in title and theme? That's where America's at, though. And it's time to return to normalcy -- and honesty.

  • Government Sanctioned Child Abuse, i.e. Transgenderism
    The government is guilty of turning blind eyes to child abuse -- and worse, in many cases, the government is actually guilty of actively participating in the abuse of children. How so? In a word: transgenderism. Whenever politicians and their bureaucratic friends in tax-paid medical organizations press the idea that kids can make their own decisions when it comes to choosing their sexes, that's a path leading to abuse. Children cannot change their sexes simply by undergoing medical procedures, and it's high time government officials stop pretending they can. Allowing those who can't even sign contracts, join the military, vote or buy a pack of cigarettes the legal authority to undergo procedures that could have permanent detrimental affects on their mental fitness, as well as altar their bodies in ways that God never ordained, is abusive, pure and simple. As Dr. Jeff Myers says, it's time to stop exploiting the youth; it's time to stop committing these acts of evil.

  • College Campuses, Cesspools of -- Christianity?
    A strange phenomenon has rocked some college campuses in America in recent times, shocking mainstream media, angering leftists and driving the secularists and socialists batty. What is it? Prayer. Prayer vigils. Prayer revivals and prayer, 'round-the-clock. Prayer by students, of students and from students. Prayer that won't stop. Prayer that won't quit. Mark Burrell, author of "Rediscovering the American Covenant," sees this as an optimistic sign. And so should all patriotic Americans. After all, anything that drives the corporate media, the left, the secularists and the socialists nuts should be automatically embraced. It's always a good sign when America turns to prayer, anyway. American Exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that rights come from God. So it's impossible to have God-given rights if the people aren't prayerful and biblical. The fact America's youth are turning to God is a solid sign of an America that hasn't yet fallen into total destruction.

  • Remembering Antonin Scalia
    It was just over seven years ago that Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia died, leaving a conservative America in shock and sadness. But his legacy lives on -- and, as Scalia chronicler James Rosen says, it's a legacy that will prove him the most influential and important member of the court for the coming 100 years or so. But what of his early life? Of his pre-SCOTUS life? Rosen in his new book, "Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936-1986," chronicles some of the characteristics, personality quirks and experiences -- gleaned during interviews with associates as well as during personal lunches and get-togethers with the justice -- that made Scalia, well, Scalia.

  • America's Suffering From a Loss of Moral Grounding

    In just a few short years, the percentage of Americans who told Pew Research Center pollsters that there were other countries in the world better than the United States went from 14 to 23. That's tragic. That means nearly a quarter of Americans believe America is not the best -- is not exceptional. Give it a couple more years, and a couple more public high school graduating classes, and that 23% will grow to 50% -- and then to more than half -- and then, one sad and sorry day, to a majority. If a majority of Americans don't believe America is the best, what does that mean for the future of America? Matt Lohmeier, author, public speaker and former military member, speaks about the need to keep faith alive and well in this country, else face a future of destroyed individual rights.
