Today is the 74th annual National Day of Prayer. Click here to watch the National Day of Prayer Broadcast tonight at 8:00 PM ET. I just got back from the National Day of Prayer event at the White House. I’ve been to several of these events over the years, and this was one of the best. I expected to remain in the audience as the event unfolded. I was surprised and honored when President Trump called me personally up to the stage to join him and others as he prepared to sign an executive order creating a new Religious Liberty Commission.

Last night, President Trump celebrated the first 100 days of his second term at a rally in Warren, Michigan. In his 90-minute speech, the president described his incredible achievements, including lower gas prices, lower prescription drug prices, lower egg prices, lower mortgage rates, and more. Here are a few highlights of the president’s remarks on his signature issues. On the border, Trump said:

President Donald Trump’s day starts at 6:00 AM. The White House held a press conference at 9:00 AM this morning touting the administration’s economic record. (See below.) The president is ending his public day with a rally in Michigan that begins at 6:00 PM. It will easily be another 15-hour day before he is done. Donald Trump is a man on a mission. This president is pouring himself out, emptying himself, in an effort to save the country. He’s not scaling back as he gets older; he’s doubling down. He’s more active than people half his age.

I want to give you a little context for the rapid-fire breaking headlines we’re seeing virtually every day. I am concerned that some of our “troops” are getting weak knees. It’s time for a “reality check.” The Left hasn’t given up because it lost an election. We are still in a war for the very meaning and understanding of a place called America. Because it’s a war, we have to be strong. There is no substitute for winning. Americans generally, and conservatives particularly, have believed for some time that our country was heading in the wrong direction. Donald Trump is taking on every… Read More

Whenever conservatives referred to Joe Biden’s open border crisis as an “invasion,” there was a lot of finger-wagging from the Left and even from some on the right. Well, a shocking FBI report that ought to be screaming front-page headlines proves we were right. It was an invasion. But, first, let me set the stage. After he was sworn in as president, Donald Trump immediately issued orders securing the border, including deploying the U.S. military and designating foreign gangs (MS-13 and Tren de Aragua) as terrorist organizations. Then, he took the extraordinary step of invoking the… Read More

Leftist ideology is putting America’s children at serious risk of emotional, mental, and physical harm. (See next item.) Thankfully, the Trump administration is fighting back to protect our children. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memorandum instructing the Justice Department to “enforce rigorous protections and hold accountable those who prey on vulnerable children and their parents.” The Trump Justice Department is going after doctors and drug companies pushing “gender-affirming care,” which is neither “affirming” or “care.” Bondi declared:

The Trump/Vance administration is committed to fighting religious discrimination of all kinds. We see that in the administration’s aggressive response to combatting antisemitism on our college campuses. And President Trump is especially committed to rooting out anti-Christian bias in the federal government. Shortly after taking office, President Trump created a task force to do just that. Anyone getting their “news” from the left-wing “mainstream media” might be surprised to learn that anti-Christian bias in the government is a serious problem. But it is.

An extremely important case was argued before the Supreme Court today on the issue of parental rights in public schools. A religiously diverse group of Maryland parents challenged the left-wing state for teaching gender ideology to their young children. The issue in this case isn’t standard high school sex education based on biology. The issue is radical gender ideology that denies biology and embraces the lie that boys can become girls and girls can become boys. Montgomery County, Maryland, is forcing this nonsense on young elementary-aged children in so-called “inclusivity lessons.”… Read More

There was a deeply troubling and disappointing decision from the Supreme Court issued at 1:00 AM Saturday night. The ruling temporarily stopped the Trump administration from carrying out deportations of illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act until the Supreme Court has a chance to issue a final judgment. The ruling is odd because the court just recently upheld the administration’s authority to carry out deportations under the act. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented from the weekend’s sudden reversal. Here’s something I am praying and hoping is not true: That the Left’s effort to… Read More

Last night’s Easter prayer service and dinner, hosted by President Trump at the White House, was an extraordinary event. I was honored to join Franklin Graham and a small group of other Christian leaders who were invited. Incredibly, after a very long day, the president spent the entire evening with us. The event began with Charles Billingsley singing a moving rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, which echoed through the halls of the White House, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. . .” No one at the White House was concerned that atheists would be offended. No one tried… Read More

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced this morning that the Trump administration is filing a federal lawsuit against the state of Maine for discriminating against women. Nearly two months ago, President Trump publicly called out Janet Mills, Maine’s leftist governor, at a White House event for refusing to comply with his executive order to stop men from cheating in women’s sports. When the governor resisted, Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to Maine. Mills replied, “See you in court.” In the intervening weeks, the Trump administration tried repeatedly to get Maine to… Read More

Earlier this month, communist China banned the export of key rare earth minerals in retaliation against U.S. trade policy. China’s communist dictator, Premier Xi, just made the case for Donald Trump’s tariffs. This New York Post headline sums it up well: “China Suspends Rare Earth Exports, Kneecapping U.S. Industry Reliant On Beijing’s ‘Monopoly.’” Rare earth minerals are essential to everything in modern life, including our national security. We have rare earth minerals in the United States, but we only have one operational mine, which produces a small fraction of the global supply of… Read More

It’s Holy Week, the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I couldn’t help thinking this morning what it was like last year when we knew the Biden administration would give Christians the back of their hand with Easter coming up. Sure enough, the Biden White House spent Easter Sunday celebrating Transgender Visibility Day. It was as disgusting as it was predictable. The Biden/Harris regime was at war with religious liberty. They were putting pro-life Christians in jail. They were spying on conservative churches. They were forcing LGBTQ propaganda on our kids. They were… Read More

Here’s news you probably haven’t heard much about. In December 2024, representatives of the lame duck Biden administration held a secret meeting in Switzerland with their counterparts from the Chinese communist regime. What the Chinese said shocked the U.S. delegation. They admitted to years and years of dangerous cyberattacks against the United States. We’ve told you about those attacks. They were carried out by a Beijing-backed group called “Volt Typhoon.” They hacked into major U.S. telecommunications systems, our utilities, our water systems, our ports, and other critical… Read More

For days now, all the commentators on CNBC, America’s major financial network, have been hyperventilating over President Trump’s trade policies. “Why all these tariffs on the rest of the world? We should put tariffs on China,” they cried. The answer is that we wanted all these other countries to lower their tariffs on our products, and we’re in discussions now to do just that. Meanwhile, Trump increased tariffs on communist China to 145%. But today, all these commentators are screaming, “How are businesses and consumers going to afford products from China?!” They shifted their narrative… Read More

There was a bombshell revelation this week in the trial of wannabe assassin Ryan Routh, the man who tried to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course. In court filings, federal prosecutors disclosed that Routh had been planning to assassinate Trump for months. He committed fully to his plot after the failed attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024. Prosecutors also revealed that Routh was communicating through encrypted messages with individuals in Mexico, where he planned to flee after the assassination. He was also communicating with someone allegedly in… Read More

Late yesterday, the Supreme Court waded into the “controversy” of whether President Trump could deport vicious illegal alien gang members under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA). Just to be clear, there is no controversy among the American people. The public overwhelmingly supports President Trump’s efforts to kick illegal alien gang members out of the country. But left-wing activists and radical judges keep preventing Trump from doing what he promised to do. Judge James Boasberg, an Obama-appointed district court judge in Washington, D.C., issued a nationwide injunction blocking the… Read More

More than 1,300 demonstrations took place across the country over the weekend. The elated left-wing media cheered the demonstrations as an incredible backlash against Donald Trump. Here’s the truth. America remains deeply divided on virtually every issue. But the people in the streets were not former Trump supporters. Fox News reporters waded into the crowds and could not find one Trump voter. The biggest demonstrations took place in big urban cities, not exactly MAGA country. So, this was the left organizing demonstrations of leftists. At least 150 left-wing groups were involved in… Read More

The stock market turmoil continues today. I suspect we will find out eventually that powerful forces are intentionally driving prices down. But that’s a story for another day.   Here’s what should be screaming headlines.   All the “smart” people telling you that tariffs will destroy the economy and that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing were also telling us that with all the government layoffs and uncertainty, we’d be lucky to get 140,000 new jobs in March.   Well, we just got the March jobs report, and 228,000 new jobs were created last month. That’s more than 50%… Read More

President Trump delivered a major address in the White House Rose Garden yesterday, outlining his America First economic agenda. There were many union workers in the audience. One union auto worker the president invited up to the podium said, “Mr. President, we can’t thank you enough.” It’s a sentiment shared by many in the heartland. (Here and here.) Not everyone is happy. The tariffs Trump announced were in many cases tougher than what had been expected. The financial markets cratered this morning. The entire chattering class is screaming, “The sky is falling!” Democrats are in… Read More

In politics, record low numbers often are not good news. No politician brags about record low approval ratings or record low job creation. Well, President Trump just hit a new record low, but this one is really good and something worth bragging about! Under the Biden/Harris regime, at least 200,000 illegal aliens crossed our borders in a typical month. That’s well over 6,000 illegal border crossings a day. As you may recall, Biden insisted that he had done all he could to secure the border and couldn’t do any more without new legislation from Congress. We almost fell for that trap.… Read More

Yesterday was Transgender Visibility Day. If you missed it, thank President Trump! It got a lot of visibility last year because Joe Biden issued a proclamation on Good Friday recognizing Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday. If that insult to Christians wasn’t bad enough, Biden’s Easter message was significantly shorter than his proclamation for Transgender Visibility Day. He had a lot to say about that but only offered a perfunctory reference to the resurrection. It was clear that the real observance at the Biden/Harris White House was Transgender Visibility Day, and anyone who… Read More

It’s spring, and the left is busy bashing, burning, and desecrating. Of course, it’s all in the name of “defending our democracy.” There is increasing vandalism of Tesla cars and road rage incidents against Tesla owners. At an event this weekend, Elon Musk said that the number of daily death threats he’s getting has gone down from 18,000 to 17,000. At demonstrations targeting Tesla dealerships, the favorite sign was, “Burn a Tesla! Save Democracy.” I can’t even explain what that means or how that works. The Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was set on fire… Read More

In every election with a conservative candidate, the left’s strategy is always the same – demagoguery and demonization. To retirees, the left says, “He’s going to cut Medicare and Social Security.” To blacks, the left says, “They’re going to put you all back in chains.” George W. Bush went out of his way to prove he wasn’t racist. It didn’t matter. When three thugs killed a black man by dragging him from their pickup truck, somehow it was Bush’s fault. This is a consistent feature of the left. It’s not a bug. It’s not a flaw. It’s what they do. And they do it regularly because it often… Read More

When it comes to explanations, a picture is worth a thousand words because of its dramatic clarity. Sometimes they are worth far more, as is the case with this photo of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. It’s important that we all understand exactly what we’re actually looking at. This is a picture of Secretary Noem at El Salvador’s Terrorist Confinement Center. As the name implies, that’s where the worst of the worst are locked up and kept away from society. It’s also the same prison where President Trump sent hundreds of illegal alien gang members that Joe Biden allowed to walk… Read More

The situation resulting from the Signal chat leak is NOT a scandal or a serious threat to our national security. Yes, it is embarrassing. But, more importantly, it has implications for the president’s ability to implement his America First foreign policy. National Security Adviser Michael Waltz put the call together. To his credit, he immediately took responsibility. However, the reporter on the call, Jeffrey Goldberg, is not just any reporter. He is one of the media’s most aggressive enemies of President Trump. He actively promoted the Russian collusion hoax. I could give you ten other… Read More

Several weeks ago, Border Czar Tom Homan promised he would “bring hell” to the sanctuary city of Boston, Massachusetts. Homan kept his promise. Last week, federal agents arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston and in surrounding communities. According to ICE, 205 of these aliens had “significant criminal convictions or charges,” including four who were wanted for murder and at least three wanted for sex crimes against children. Members of the vicious foreign gangs MS-13 and Tren de Aragua were arrested, more than 100 weapons were seized, and federal agents also confiscated enough fentanyl… Read More

Yesterday marked the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” speech. Henry delivered the speech at the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775, when colonial leaders were debating the future relationship with Great Britain. While the colonists bristled at unfair taxation by the British, the possibility of rebellion against the king deeply divided the colonies. Henry’s passionate address before the Second Virginia Convention was a decisive turning point. It’s not an exaggeration to suggest that the American Revolution might not have happened without… Read More

President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday laying the groundwork for abolishing the federal Department of Education, yet another campaign promise fulfilled. The president’s order reflects the understanding that it will take an act of Congress to fully eliminate the department. That will require 60 votes in the Senate, which isn’t going to happen anytime soon. However, we believe the president has a lot of executive authority to move things around and conduct “reductions in force” to shrink the number of bureaucrats employed by the Education Department. But the polling… Read More

You may have seen a viral photo this week of me and a dozen colleagues praying in the Oval Office with President Trump. Here’s the backstory. Yesterday morning, a dozen conservative Christian leaders met in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is part of the White House “campus.” We were there at the invitation of the White House Faith Office. That office, under the leadership of Pastor Paula White-Cain and Faith Director Jenny Korn, has been granted extraordinary access to President Trump and a major role in policy development. The attendees at the meeting brought dozens of… Read More
