Speaking Boldly To Our Times
 
There is an old curse that says, “May you live in interesting times.” It turns out the curse isn’t Chinese after all, but it IS still a curse.
 

Today President Trump held a press conference to announce steps he will take, and has already begun, to clean up the wave of crime, homeless encampments, and disorderly conduct that has swept over the nation’s capital.

Every time I think the political winds might be changing a bit in our direction, somebody like James Carville, the “ragin’ Cajun” whose Louisiana twang defined liberal political commentary in the Clinton era, shows up and reminds me how wrong I can be.

There was a disgusting hate crime this week in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton, Missouri, that is not getting the attention it deserves. A home was vandalized, and three family cars were set on fire. Why was the home targeted? The man who lives there with his family is an American citizen who served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). “Death to the IDF” was spray-painted outside the home. This is what “Globalize the Intifada” means. The intifada is the series of violent Palestinian uprisings against Israel. Radical Islamists want that violence against Jews to take place everywhere.… Read More

Texas Democrats are really proud of themselves for fleeing their state to prevent the passage of a new congressional redistricting plan. They should be ashamed of themselves instead. By preventing a quorum, they have essentially shut down the legislature. But redistricting wasn’t the only item on the lawmakers’ agenda. Among the 18 critical issues Gov. Abbott asked the special session to address was legislation improving emergency flood warning systems and providing financial relief to help the victims of the deadly July 4th floods. Texas Democrat legislators are willing to hurt… Read More

t’s been said that the wheels of justice turn slowly. When it comes to the Russia collusion hoax, the wheels of justice are indeed turning, and they seem to be picking up speed. Here’s what has already happened since Trump administration officials began declassifying intelligence reports related to attempts by the Deep State and its allies to overturn President Trump’s 2016 victory:

One of the primary “markers” of totalitarian regimes is monitoring/spying on citizens and intimidating political opponents. (See below.) We know the Biden/Harris regime employed those tactics against conservative parents and churches. Over the weekend, we learned they were also spying on individuals who served in the first Trump administration. One of those individuals is Dan Scavino, who currently serves as White House deputy chief of staff. He posted a message Friday night saying that sometime in mid to late December 2024, he got this email from Google: “Google received and responded… Read More

Democrats and their fake news media allies will have a field day with the latest jobs report. The Department of Labor reports that 73,000 jobs were created in July. But something is deeply wrong in the federal bureaucracy that is supposed to provide policymakers with accurate data on the status of the economy. The job creation figures for June were revised down from 147,000 to just 14,000 jobs. The May report was revised down from 144,000 to 19,000. In other words, the May and June figures were slashed by 90%! How can they be that wrong? Any private sector employee whose… Read More

Nearly two months ago, FBI Director Kash Patel made a stunning announcement. He found a secret room inside the FBI headquarters where James Comey and others hid thousands of documents. We are just now learning what some of those documents are. They are important files related to the Deep State’s efforts to nullify the 2016 election through the Russia collusion hoax. Not only were the documents hidden in this secret room, they were stuffed into multiple “burn bags” that were meant to be destroyed. (See next item.) Whoops! Meanwhile, the people who ran this conspiracy in the Deep… Read More

America got great news this morning—the economy grew at a healthy rate in the second quarter of the year, beating the clueless “experts” who predicted 2% growth. Instead, it grew at 3% or 50% more than predicted. In addition, inflation is showing signs of slowing. Every day since Trump’s inauguration, Democrats and leftist pundits have been trying to talk the economy down. They insisted that “Trump’s tariffs will cause a recession!” Left-wing activists are actually trying to tank the economy. (Here and here.) So, where is the recession? Once again, the fake news media, socialist… Read More

President Donald Trump has been in office just over six months. His accomplishments in that brief time are truly historic. He has dramatically changed the world trading system from what it has been since the late 1980s to now. “Free trade” became the mantra of the D.C. Uniparty. Communist China was allowed into the World Trade Organization, and it destroyed many U.S. industries. Administrations of both parties looked the other way as America’s manufacturing base was gutted. Of course, President Trump has faced a lot of pushback from foreign leaders. That’s because they have no memory… Read More

Saturday morning, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino posted a lengthy message to his X account that raised more than a few eyebrows. Here’s what he wrote: “. . .The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. “But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned… Read More

There’s a lot of information and commentary in the media and online regarding the current investigations of the Russia collusion hoax. There’s also a lot of obfuscation. I want to reiterate the central point that is being argued here: Barack Obama and the heads of various intelligence agencies that answered to him had irrefutable evidence that there was no attempt by Russia to help Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Nor did Russia succeed in impacting the results of the election. But instead of reporting what their own agencies had told them, Obama and his underlings made up… Read More

Like sharks smelling blood in the water, the fake news media are in another full-blown feeding frenzy. This time it’s over reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump in May that his name is in the Epstein files. Trump-hating media hacks know exactly what they are doing. They want the average person to read the headline about Trump and Epstein and then jump to the conclusion that Trump was on the island and that’s why the administration won’t release the “Epstein files.” What is being ignored in almost every report on this “breaking news” is that Justice Department… Read More

We are in the middle of a raging battle for the future of America. We will either be free people, or we will be manipulated servants of the Deep State. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just lobbed a truth bomb into the middle of that battlefield, alleging that Barack Obama was key to the Russia/Trump collusion hoax. A spokesman for former President Obama responded to the charges, calling them “outrageous” and “bizarre” and a “ridiculous and weak attempt at distraction.” We already know that the Obama/Biden administration spied on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.… Read More

Hunter Biden’s interview this week with YouTube influencer Andrew Callaghan was totally unhinged! There’s no other way to describe it. He probably just earned a spot in Guinness World Records for dropping the most F-bombs in the shortest amount of time. One thing that really jumped out at me was his allegiance to open borders. He said: “Am I not supposed to feel for someone? Am I going to be like all these Democrats who say, ‘You have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration’? F--- you. “How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How… Read More

This weekend, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made an earthshattering charge. She accused Barack Obama of leading a “treasonous conspiracy” that resulted in a decade of division. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Gabbard said U.S. intelligence agencies were sending reports up the chain of command indicating that nothing unusual was happening and “that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability” to “hack” the election. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation reported that Russia spent $100,000 on Facebook ads over a two-year period, hardly a serious… Read More

Well, I predicted that the Left would try to use the Epstein scandal to bring President Trump down. Lo and behold, the Wall Street Journal just published the first Epstein-related hit piece against Trump, and now every fake news media outlet is giving these lies wall-to-wall coverage. The Journal built its story around an alleged birthday greeting from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein 23 years ago. It is purportedly a typewritten letter with a hand-drawn rendition of a naked woman. The president is beyond furious. Last night he posted on Truth Social: “These are not my words, not the… Read More

New York City’s Marxist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was treated like a rock star by congressional Democrats yesterday. Democrats moved the meeting site at the last minute, hoping to avoid the media. It didn’t work. And when the event was over, Mamdani snuck out the back door. But as one leftist Democrat after another left the meeting, they had nothing but praise for Mamdani. They described him as “inspiring,” “very impressive,” “so authentic,” and someone they could “learn a lot from.” New York Republican Assemblyman Matt Slater disagrees. He serves with Mamdani in the legislature… Read More

When Hurricane Helen swept through the North Carolina mountains last year, it left tremendous destruction in its wake. Unfortunately, Biden’s FEMA performance was equally devastating. While Americans were living in cars and tents, FEMA was funding housing for illegal aliens. In fact, various government agencies, including FEMA, funded more than 200 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to provide shelter and services to illegal aliens in the United States. Among those NGOs is Catholic Charities, and some of that money was going to migrants even before they entered the U.S. Everyone… Read More

President Trump made a major announcement on Russia and the war in Ukraine yesterday. But, first, a little history is helpful. When Barack Obama was president, Vladimir Putin invaded and seized the Crimean Peninsula. The Obama/Biden administration did nothing. When Donald Trump became president in 2017, Putin did not invade anything. When Joe Biden became president, Putin invaded Ukraine again. Trump is back in the White House, and he is demanding a peace deal to end the Russian/Ukrainian war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he’s willing to negotiate. If… Read More

In a 6 to 3 decision along ideological lines, the Supreme Court just lifted a federal district court injunction blocking the Trump administration of reorganizing the Department of Education. Today’s decision means the administration can proceed to fire half of the department's staff and continue working to shut down the department entirely.

This Sunday marks the first anniversary of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life at an outside rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles stated in a recent interview that she believes Donald Trump’s life was saved by God in Butler, Pennsylvania. And she confirmed he believes that, too. I was with a small group of people meeting with the president when he said exactly that, and I know this realization has impacted him. It’s why his voice quivered when he said recently, “We love you, God.” I also have no doubt that God saved George Washington’s… Read More

Border security has been a top priority for President Trump. As soon as he took office, he took bold action to close Joe Biden’s open border and to start removing the millions of illegal aliens who poured into our country over the past four years. And he has succeeded! Border crossings are now at record lows, and not one migrant was released into the country over the past two months. That’s huge! Yet not one prominent Democrat has congratulated the president for his tremendous accomplishment. Democrats insisted the border could not be secured without new comprehensive laws, meaning… Read More

Democrats and their media allies spent four years demonizing Donald Trump, patriots, and conservative Christians as “insurrectionists.” At the same time, the thugs violently attacking conservatives and burning down our big cities were hailed as “anti-fascists” and “mostly peaceful.” That’s disinformation on steroids! Take a good look at this picture. It’s the mug shots of the extremists who attacked the immigration detention facility near Fort Worth, Texas, on July 4th. These are the faces of insurrection.

In recent days, violent left-wing extremists have attempted to murder federal immigration police officers. These are not peaceful protests that got out of hand. These are deliberate, coordinated assassination attempts against federal law enforcement officers of the United States. Running battles have been fought at an immigration detention facility in Portland, Oregon, for weeks. Late last month, a Transtifa radical attempted to stab immigration police officers. Christopher Hudson, aka Julie Winters, was tased by officers and arrested. He is now facing 20 years in jail. On the… Read More

While millions of Americans celebrated Independence Day with friends and family, many in Texas were experiencing a living nightmare every parent dreads – the death of a child. I am referring, of course, to the tragic flooding that struck central Texas and Kerr County especially hard. At least 90 people are dead, including more than two dozen Christian girls, many of them only eight-years old, who were attending a summer camp. Hearts have been broken and dreams have been crushed. The Trump administration and FEMA immediately provided resources to the area. The White House Faith Office… Read More

Congratulations, President Trump! The Big Beautiful Bill passed Congress! It’s big and maybe not as beautiful as we might have hoped, but it’s the best we can do with such slim majorities in the House and the Senate. A massive tax increase was averted. More tax cuts are on the way. And the border wall will be finished.
