From Rod Dreher to Eric Metaxas, Tony Perkins, and Charlie Kirk, J.D. Vance has amassed quite the following among those who see him as the new face of “religious populism.” It’s an interesting accolade for someone whose claim to fame is being a champion of conservativism while simultaneously endorsing the very measures that undermine them. In a recent interview with NBC, Vance endorses the abortion pill mifepristone, which reveals a curious contradiction—one that his evangelical supporters seem more than willing to overlook in their quest for a political savior. Arguing like a leftist, Vance offers not just his support for...

President Joe Biden informed House and Senate Democrats that he would be staying in the presidential race as the Democratic nominee in a letter Monday morning. This letter follows on the heels of calls for the president to step down after a disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump last month. Biden’s “old and weak” demeanor in the presidential debate hosted by CNN inflamed an already growing public relations “nightmare” for the Biden/Harris Campaign, whose polling numbers against Trump were already tenuous due, in part, to videos in which the president appeared lost and forgetful at fundraisers and international...

The left will always be the first to criticize the right for “mixing religion with politics,” yet, the left is far more guilty of this than we are. In fact, not only is the left guilty of this, but they use their religion as a tool to advance very un-Christian ideologies, twisting the Scriptures beyond recognition. Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia hosted Joe Biden this past weekend where Biden preached a very familiar gospel—a false gospel called Black Liberation Theology. Black Liberation Theology, birthed from the civil rights era and popularized by James Cone at Union...

Since Joe Biden has taken office, we have seen him not wasting any time seeking to open our U.S. border and flood our nation with illegals and refugees from God knows where. Our nation was founded on the rule of law and founded on the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God. Many Americans today despise any rule of law and seek a narcissistic form of life, which is outworked in lawlessness (Rom. 1:18-32). This topic of immigration is not a hard topic to understand when one sees this topic through the prism of our founding, the rule of constitutional...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden began a crucial week for his candidacy by seeking to stamp out growing criticism by fellow Democrats who want him to step aside in the race.Phoning into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, the president said the voters have chosen him and dared his Democratic critics who want him out to challenge him at the party’s August convention. (snip) “The voters — and the voters alone — decide the nominee of the Democratic Party,” he added.

Billionaire Elon Musk issued a stark warning that Democrats are planning to steal more federal elections by allowing non-U.S. citizens to cast votes. House Democrats are planning to block legislation that would require voters to prove their U.S. citizenship in federal elections. If successful, it would give Democrats the opportunity to repeat what they did in the 2020 election and more. Musk told podcaster Tim Pool that the reason that Democrats are doing this is because they “want to cheat,” which we’ve seen in recent election cycles. A massive number of non-citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections and...

The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law. Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world. (snip) Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition. Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election.To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of...

Nearly three years after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico film set of “Rust,” actor Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial. Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter for his role in the deadly incident that also injured the film’s director, Joel Souza. Baldwin was rehearsing with a prop gun for a scene on Oct. 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has maintained in multiple interviews that he did not pull the trigger and that...

They say you get what you pay for. Swing state Wisconsin is getting the erosion of election integrity laws, thanks to a mountain of leftist money that changed the makeup of the state’s Supreme Court. On Friday, just as President Joe Biden was slated to make a campaign visit to capital city and leftist enclave Madison, the left-leaning Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed a previous court ruling and endorsed the widespread use of absentee ballot drop boxes in November’s election. The ruling opens the door to the same kind of election shenanigans that plagued the Badger State in 2020.

President Joe Biden told congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he will continue his reelection bid despite mounting concerns about his mental fitness and the viability of his campaign. “I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in the letter, obtained by CNN. Biden sought to put growing concerns about his viability to rest in the forcefully worded letter. “The question of how to move forward has been...

Elon Musk has warned that Democrats are planning to steal more federal elections by allowing people who are not U.S. citizens to vote. According to Axios, House Democrats are predictably planning to strike down legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. Responding to podcaster Tim Pool, Musk said the reason that Democrats are doing this is because they “want to cheat” in federal elections, as they have done repeatedly over recent election cycles. ... huge numbers of non-citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections, in many cases actively encouraged or solicited to do...

Novelist, Hollywood producer, and unabashed President Joe Biden supporter Stephen King took to social media Monday to tell the octogenarian it’s time to leave the 2024 presidential race. King’s message to his seven million-plus followers on X – formerly known as Twitter – was simple and straight to the point. The multimillionaire left-winger said: “Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election.”

From the outset of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, the plan for winning was to make former President Donald Trump so unpalatable that voters uneasy with the incumbent would vote for him anyway. But now Biden is stuck in a political tailspin, with an abysmal debate performance highlighting his inability to make a case against Trump and prompting a collective national hand-wringing about his ability to do his job while an increasing number of House Democrats say he should leave the race. To get voters to focus on the threats posed by a second Trump administration, Biden’s own allies say...

MMT is mostly magic! The Federal Reserve relies on “The Power of Magic” to fool people. For example, the massive increase in money printing following Covid and Biden’s disastrous economic policies (or FOLLICIES). Modern monetary theory (MMT) is not convincing to most trained economists of various schools of thought. This causes many to balk at MMT and mock it, some of which is warranted as a reductio ad absurdum, especially given some of MMT’s more outlandish claims. In fact, my own thesis was an Austrian critique of MMT. But there is also a fair amount of hypocrisy in the non-Austrian...

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 7. The Government is in constant telegraphic communication with the army in Georgia, and all dispatches from Gen. SHERMAN are at once forwarded direct to Gen. GRANT, at City Point. Gen. GRANT takes the deepest interest in the great campaign of the West, as well as in that conducted in Virginia under his own eye; and though the control of operations is with Gen. SHERMAN, yet he is actively aided by GRANT, both in the way of advice and otherwise. The latest dispatches are dated at Marietta, which our army reached...

If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden’s “nation-wrecking nightmare” (Trump’s words) Trump would “seek to re-establish” his “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which saw Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, but allow them to stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings. Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it. MPP took away aliens’ incentive to make bogus claims of fear to secure release into the U.S. DHS found it “indispensable,” resulting in “a rapid and substantial...

As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares, right? As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares if you are a multiple arsonist who throws fire-bombs and endangers lives? And you have a well-placed heart as big as the Ritz if you hate Israel and want to see it disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. More on the antisemitic and pro-Hamas supporters who have rallied round the pyromaniacal comically-named Casey Goonan, can be found here: “Anti-Israel serial arsonist receives support from Columbia encampment protest groups,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem...

President Biden sent a letter Monday to Congressional Democrats stressing that, despite some calling him to drop his 2024 bid after his horrid debate performance, he is “firmly committed” to seeing it through. "Now that you have returned from the July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in his letter, addressed to “fellow Democrats.” “I have had extensive conversations with the leadership of the party, elected...
