Today we look at the 2018 midterms through the lens of the current political story lines. Trump's approval rating is at 51%. Mueller reveals Trump is not a target, but rather a target in his investigation. Jonathan Turley asks when media will accept this reality. Historical perspective of midterm elections - and the effects on the Party in the White House. While a trend may be building, elections must be won by individual candidates. Trump sends National Guard troops to the border. The Left tells us walls don't work. I wonder if they think troops work. Or should we just mow the grass like Nancy Pelosi proclaims? Liberalism hasn't been chalking up political victories. Instead, Blue Dog Democrats are making a comeback. Problem is, these folks give us Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and other radical Leftists as their leaders. And they must beg and plead to cast a vote contrary to the Far Left leadership. This is not a good thing.

Congratulations to Villanova for winning the 2018 NCAA Tournament. They were the only thing good about my bracket. Today we're discussing fake news. What constitutes fake news? Who should police it? How? Other countries making it a crime punishable by time in da clink. Mark Zuckerberg goes from media darling and aspiring presidential candidate to scapegoat who allowed Trump to collude with Russia in order to steal the 2016 election from Hillary. Problems with policing "fake news," especially when it's viewed differently depending upon whether it comes from liberal or conservative sources. More speech. Robust, open debate. Refute false ideas and accusations. Are some Conservatives silenced on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sources? Are these social media platforms gearing up to prevent Republican and Conservative messages from influencing people on social during 2018 midterms?

Hope you had a Happy Easter weekend. Chuck Todd's tweet about Good Friday. It's not simply about a mental attitude, Chuck: it's about the greatest act of love and redemption in history. Google ignores Easter - again. Does this bother you? Op-Ed about Christianity and white supremacy. Misunderstanding of Christianity, Free Market Capitalism and what it is that makes America great. Trump tweets about illegal immigration, border wall, DACA & NAFTA. Mexico pushes back, but what is their track record? China imposes tariffs on at least 120 US imports in response to Trump's steel & aluminum tariffs. Trump moving US embassy to Jerusalem and tensions between Israel & Palestinians.

Today is going to be a little bit different. Going to start by discussing why I'm a conservative - and what a conservative is. Maybe more importantly, what it isn't. Truth vs Change. Resistors of change or defenders of Truth? Founders. George Washington. This weekend we celebrate the most important event that has ever happened in human history: the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why would an all-loving God allow someone to go to Hell? Or better yet, why would He send them there because they don't have the right beliefs? This isn't an accurate depiction of what happens - and I think there is a better way of looking at this. What lengths did God go to to prevent anyone from going to Hell? God loves you - and He went to great lengths to demonstrate that on the Cross. Happy Easter.

North & South Korea to meet along their border. Surely the pressure exerted on North Korea by the US under Trump's leadership has influenced this. At Obama wants to create a million of himself. Who's the narcissist? Bullet control. Gun control. Repeal the Second Amendment. Roseanne program aired last night, generating big ratings. Politics in entertainment. Maryland & DC attorneys general lawsuit against Trump for violating Emoluments Clause. What did the Founders really intend? Capitalism. Career politicians. The Last Supper. The Crucifixion. The Jewish Seder meal. Symbolism.

Planned Parenthood branch wants a Disney princess who's had an abortion. Of course they do. Xavier Becerra leaves open the possibility that he will arrest or sue Orange County Sheriff for violating state law. Meanwhile, California moves headlong into violating federal law. Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens says we should repeal the Second Amendment. Antiquated and archaic? Bill of Rights list fundamental rights given to us by God, not government. Repealing a fundamental truth is a bad idea. And, candidly, impossible. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (and other Leftists) want to implement a background check for ammunition. Attack on Second Amendment, guns and liberty is coming from all directions. But we're on the side of truth and we can win this argument.

California State Attorney General Xavier Becerra to sue Trump Administration because, apparently, asking a citizenship question on a census is illegal. And they try to tell us Trump is  mentally unfit for office. Learning "what" to think versus "how" to think. To give this lawsuit one second of serious consideration is an absolute waste of time, but Leftist commentators will be out there, stroking their chins, telling us how big of a problem this really is. Stormy Daniels. Thoughts from a few callers. Jake Tapper tweets Bible verses to Trump-supporting pastor. Passion Week. Jesus forgives. We must confess & repent.

March for Our Lives rally in Washington DC. We all have the right to free speech. But not all speech is equal. We must fight back against some of the things these students are promoting regarding guns and gun control. We cannot be silenced because we are afraid of disagreeing with students or victims. Liberty matters, and the rights of law-abiding citizens should not be on the chopping block because someone else abused his freedoms. Stormy Daniels. You're going to make me talk about this, aren't you? Woman marries tree in Florida to try to prevent it from being cut down. Polygamist tree.

Sorry I wasn't able to broadcast the show yesterday. Found out why I've been coughing so much. Think I'm on the road to recovery. Lots to discuss today. Biden said he would have "beaten the hell out of Trump" in high school. Is this the sort of thing a Party would be saying if it was standing on the precipice of midterm dominance? Status of Russian investigation/Mueller probe. Trump to testify? Dowd resigns. How do you best respond to a witch hunt? Congress passes $1,300,000,000,000 Omnibus spending bill and sends to Trump for approval. House Freedom Caucus open letter to Trump. Spending needs to be reined in no matter which Party is in control in DC. Affects on midterms? Healthcare transparency and greed: a short discussion I had with a Liberal on our Facebook page.

Austin bombing suspect reportedly dead. Developing story as we start our broadcast this morning. Another school shooting in Maryland. But armed security guard shoots and kills shooter. Who says good guys with guns don't stop bad guys with guns? Failures leading to Parkland school shooting included government and authorities who neglected to enforce existing laws. Why would more laws change this? Spring Breakers arrested & laughing in paddy wagon. Engaging in and winning the cultural war. The lost art of persuasion - and how America's future depends upon whether or not we can persuade others to be constitutional conservatives. It's good that more people are politically engaged today. Engagement indicates someone wants to work out some sort of conclusion.
