Progressive overreach alienated the middle class, replacing working-class roots with elite dogmas—and now the Democrats are reaping the whirlwind they sowed. Sometime after the election of Barack Obama in 2008, the American Left began exploring, then embracing, and finally enacting agendas that proved not only unhinged and unworkable but also fatal to the left-wing project itself. How did the party so alienate the middle classes when it once professed it was the sole party and protector of those in-between? How did the Democratic Congress sink to a 16 percent approval rating in a current liberal Quinnipiac University poll? How could...

Kevin Sorbo claims Hollywood is shifting its values after growing sick of losing money on 'woke' films. The self-proclaimed 'first cancel culture victim' revealed that studios are now reaching out to him, after years of being rejected over his conservative Christian values. The actor, 66, rose to international fame as the Greek demigod Hercules in the hit show 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,' which ran for six seasons from 1995 to 1999. Sorbo said that he sees a shift happening within the movie industry under president Donald Trump, in a new interview with Fox News Digital. 'I think people are tired...

“Another of the disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead’” (Matthew 8:21–22). Like the scribe, this second man disappears from the record after approaching Jesus. Evidently the Lord’s discipleship demands were too strict and the appeal of discipleship vanished (cf. Matt. 19:16–22). Christ’s instruction to follow Him simply means, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me” (Matt. 16:24). The Lord Jesus always made it clear...

For the first time in its history, Russia is fighting alone against the entire West, so we cannot afford weakness. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov․ "We have a lot to do. The most important of them is to defeat the enemy. For the first time in its history, Russia is fighting alone against the entire West. In the First and Second World Wars, we had allies. Now we have no allies on the battlefield. Therefore, we must rely on ourselves," Lavrov said.

How quickly things change. It was barely more than a year ago that climate activists and federal bureaucrats thought they had maneuvered the internal combustion engine (ICE) automobile to the brink of extinction. ICE vehicles had become like dinosaurs, inferior to their new competitors the EVs, and therefore headed for the scrap heap of history. Customers were flocking to the trendy new EVs, which were seeing rapidly rising sales. And the all-powerful federal bureaucracy was going to give the final push to put ICE vehicles out of their misery. On June 7, 2024 President Biden’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration...

This program is giving more Palm Beach County residents the chance to call themselves homeowners. The program is run by the county’s Department of Housing and Economic Development. “We provide up to $100,000 for down payment assistance, new construction, acquisition and closing costs,” said Dorina Jenkins-Gaskin, the director of Mortgage and Housing Investment with the Palm Beach County Housing and Economic Development.

Four decades ago I was sitting having a cup of tea in Bramerton Street in Chelsea, just off the King's Road. It was the home of Alan Jay Lerner, author of Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady, Gigi, Camelot, and much else. Alan was not as wealthy as he'd been two decades earlier, because he'd carelessly acquired seven ex-wives and was in the umpteenth year of a long-running dispute with the IRS. But I couldn't understand why, as a man awash in Oscars and Tonys and whatnot, he chose to live not in New York but in London, when...

At a meeting of dissidents and opposition people in Munich, from all sides of the spectrum, Reza Pahlavi was proclaimed as leader of their revolution. Yay! Now they actually have to depose the Ayatollahs and figure out what will replace them. Good luck. Transcript attached below video.

The Neocons are in complete control of Europe, and it is starting to appear that they have turned Trump’s head as well into promoting their endless wars when every last one of them should be thrown in prison for life without parole for TREASON – the usurpation of American Foreign Policy for personal objectives. It was Garland who weaponized the DOJ to try to prevent Trump from winning in 2024 to keep their war-mongering objectives in play. The Ukrainian people have been the pawns in this NEOCON war. What are they fighting for? The Minsk Agreement was intended to allow...

In this age of information overload, stories come and go before we even have a chance to understand them. Six weeks ago in Minnesota, an assassin disguised as a police officer murdered one prominent state Democrat and her husband and critically wounded another Democrat and his wife. The alleged perpetrator sent a written confession to FBI director Kash Patel. He was a political appointee of Democrat governor Tim Walz and claims to have been part of a secret operation to benefit Walz directly. Former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris attended funeral services for the victims. The...

ATLANTA - Georgia Republican Mike Collins said Monday that he will join the field challenging Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff in the state the GOP has named as their top target to add a Senate seat in 2026. What we know: A second-term member of Congress from a district east of Atlanta, Collins becomes the newest top Republican to get into the primary race. U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter is already running, while state Insurance Commissioner John King dropped out. Also expected to run is former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley . What they're saying: "Jon Ossoff must go,"...

A pro-Ukraine hacker group claims to have carried out a major cyberattack on Russia’s biggest airline, Aeroflot. Silent Crow has claimed responsibility for the attack on Aeroflot’s IT infrastructure, which caused the airline to cancel dozens of flights on Monday. -snip- Aeroflot, Russia’s national carrier, said it had cancelled more than 40 flights following the IT “failure”, without saying how long it would take to be resolved. This included journeys to airports across Russia, plus the capital of Belarus, Minsk, and the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, the Reuters news agency reported. Aeroflot has not responded to the hacking claims and...

Democrats are once again planning a blitz of town hall meetings in Republican-led communities, though this time they are armed with a new and polarizing topic: Jeffrey Epstein. The issue of the so-called “Epstein files” — including the details of high-profile people associated with the disgraced financier and sex offender — continues to divide the GOP, with some calling for further transparency and others, including the president himself, urging people to move on. “Let them destroy each other. If we have to throw a log on the fire, we’ll do it,” one House Democratic aide told The Hill.

A segment on Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend featured an interview with Kathleen Borgueta, who had lost her job at USAID due to cutbacks by the Trump administration. Substitute host Maria Teresa Kumar called USAID "God's work." At the end of the segment, a deeply moved Jonathan Capehart told Borgueta: "I'm going to stop talking because I'm going to burst into tears."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

@GuntherEagleman 🚨 BREAKING: CIA Director John Ratcliffe just confirmed that John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton are likely to be INDICTED over their involvement in Russiagate!

Self-proclaimed "anti-oligarchy" crusader Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is once again showing who he really is by endorsing Rebecca Cooke, a Democrat backed by none other than George Soros and his network of far-left donors. Cooke, who’s running in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, has quietly accepted help from a Soros-funded PAC while claiming to fight for “the little guy.” Sanders’ endorsement exposes the hypocrisy of the progressive movement. In a move that perfectly captures the double standard of today’s progressive elite, Sanders has endorsed Cooke, a candidate with deep ties to dark money and George Soros-backed networks. Cooke, who calls herself...

Our Constitution, perhaps the greatest document in human history behind the Bible, is not quite perfect. In 2025, we can see things that might have been added. Number one is probably term limits. Another would be a prohibition on deficit spending outside of war. And maybe they could have added something about judges being responsible for the results of giving criminals a free pass ... What the Founding Fathers never envisioned, however, was a permanent government, whether elected officials or a bureaucracy. Sadly, today we have both ... for America’s first 50 years, we had a Department of State, Treasury,...

Congress has created several programs to allow illegal border crossers claiming to be minors to remain in the U.S. Despite years of documented abuse of the programs, Congress continues to fund them to the tune of billions of dollars. One is the failed unaccompanied minor program, with decades of documented reports of abuse and neglect of children ... Another is the Special Immigrant Juvenile Petition (SIJP) program that allows illegal foreign national minors already involved in the juvenile court system to remain in the U.S. and obtain a pathway to citizenship. For decades, the SIJP has been exploited by criminal...
