During an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning, President Trump broke the news that Charlie Kirk’s assassin had been captured and was in police custody. Later, Utah Governor Spencer Cox, FBI Director Kash Patel, and other law enforcement officials held a press conference and provided additional details. Here’s what we know:

Charlie Kirk had an amazing life. He was drawn to the political arena at a young age, founding Turning Point USA in 2012—straight out of high school. He built it into a political powerhouse. In the 2024 elections, Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA were essential to the GOP’s voter turnout efforts and to Donald Trump’s election. At 31 years old, Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential and effective leaders of the conservative movement. He had a tremendous future ahead of him. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., wrote, “Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth… Read More

My good friend and ally, Charlie Kirk, was shot today during one of his signature events engaging with college students at Utah Valley University. President Trump has just confirmed and we are heartbroken to report that Charlie Kirk is dead. We join the president in sorrow and in praise for Charlie. He was loved and admired by all. There will be many reactions to this news. But the one reaction that is not acceptable is to let this overwhelm us with discouragement and fear. Instead, we be should inspired by Charlie’s life to stand even stronger for Faith, Family, and Freedom.

Following up on President Trump’s tremendous address yesterday to the Religious Liberty Commission, the White House released a list of “100 Victories for People of Faith.” It’s an impressive list of accomplishments and actions on many issues men and women of faith care deeply about—and many issues American Values has been working on for years. I encourage you to read the list and share it with friends and family members. This list is proof of why it is so important for men and women of faith to be active and informed Christian citizens. Your values matter. Your votes make a difference… Read More

I was in Colorado Springs Friday for an important event honoring the life and legacy of Dr. James Dobson and planning for the future of the James Dobson Family Institute. I reminded the attendees of how dedicated President Trump is to protecting religious liberty. He has done more to protect the free exercise of faith than any president in modern American history. I was reassuring the audience about the president’s commitment to religious freedom when evidence of his commitment became available. The Justice Department’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias released a report… Read More

I was shocked 25 years ago when I discovered that students at a Minneapolis high school had never heard the sentence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” They were mystified by these words from our Declaration of Independence. That was 25 years ago. Now, we have Democrat senators with Harvard Law degrees who don’t know America’s founding principles.

House Republicans are forming a new committee to investigate the events of January 6, 2021. Some may argue that this is a “waste of time” or “dwelling in the past.” That’s wrong. This is about righting past wrongs. Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Committee was a Stalinist kangaroo court stage-managed by a Hollywood executive. It must be thoroughly exposed as such. The committee was stacked against Donald Trump. Pelosi even handpicked Never Trumpers Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to be the “Republican” members of the committee. Numerous lies were enshrined in history books, and those lies… Read More

In recent weeks, the FBI has arrested two deranged leftists who made repeated threats to kill President Trump. Washington, D.C., grand juries refused to indict them. Judge James Boasberg, a Trump-hating Obama appointee, released one of the wannabe assassins with an ankle bracelet and urged her to get mental health treatment. Perhaps the judge could join her for the mental health care. She was arrested on her way to Washington, D.C., and had posted this on social media: “I literally told FBI in five states today that I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling… Read More

President Trump just wrapped up another Oval Office press conference, taking many questions from reporters after making two big announcements. Trump’s transparency and willingness to engage the media stand in stark contrast to the way “Sleepy Joe’s” handlers hid him from the media. The main purpose of today’s press conference was to announce that the Space Force’s command headquarters would be moved from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. President Trump cited Colorado’s corrupt all mail-in ballot election system as a major reason for the move. The left-wing media will spin this… Read More

The fake news media have already begun to move on from the Minneapolis church shooting. The facts don’t fit the narrative the Left wants to push. In fact, they are either ignoring the facts or lying about them. Well, I’m not moving on. We need to talk about what happened in the aftermath of that evil attack. It is revealing that the Left’s reaction to a horrific attack on a church by a transgender individual is to attack Christian prayer. The left-wing mayor of Minneapolis essentially said, “What good is prayer? These children were killed when they were literally praying.” That’s… Read More

Satan wrote the script for the atrocities that transpired yesterday at a Minneapolis Catholic church and school. The transgender shooter’s message, “Where’s your God now,” wasn’t referring to Allah. It was referring to the God of the Bible, the God Catholics, Jews, and Protestants worship. The only God, by the way. “Where’s your God now” was Satan mocking God. The transgender shooter hated Christians. He used a picture of Jesus for target practice. He also had a burning hatred for Jews and Israel. Satan would have given him a standing ovation. The Jews were the people through whom our… Read More

A demonic force was unleashed in Minneapolis today. An evil individual opened fire on a Catholic church this morning, shooting through the windows from the outside as children were attending a back-to-school mass. Multiple children, praying in their pews, were shot. An eight-year-old child and a ten-year-old child were killed. Fourteen other children were injured. Two are in critical condition. The shooter took his own life at the scene. He posted a video online that shows multiple bullet holders or magazines with messages on them, including “for the children,” “Where’s your God now,”… Read More

The left-wing media outlet Axios can always be relied on to display the “zeitgeist” of Washington elites. That’s why Axios is having a fit over President Trump’s efforts to defend American culture and traditions. The entire secular globalist juggernaut gets most frenetic whenever they see any attempt to restore a sense of moral purpose and virtue to the American experiment in ordered liberty under God. It drives them crazy because they are moral relativists. One of the reasons they don’t want borders, in addition to crass political reasons, is that they don’t see any difference in… Read More

The socialists and neo-Marxists who control today’s Democrat Party continue to fall on their swords for all the wrong people. The weekend news talk shows were filled with failed big city mayors blasting President Trump’s desire to get crime under control. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, whose approval rating is 26%, was on MSDNC yesterday. When asked about the possibility of President Trump sending National Guard troops to Chicago to help the city deal with crime, Johnson replied: “We’re going to remain firm. We’ll take legal action. But the people of this city are accustomed to rising… Read More

It’s been a tough 24 hours, as I join with countless others mourning the passing of Dr. James Dobson. Dr. Dobson and I devoted much of our lives to winning the war for the hearts and minds of our children. In 1990, Jim and I co-wrote a book on that very theme called “Children at Risk.” Each child is a gift from God, made in His image. As parents, we have a moral obligation to protect them as the battle Jim and I warned about decades ago rages on today. First, a child has to be fortunate enough to get out of the womb alive. Powerful forces want to abort as many children as they can… Read More

Today, I have sad news. My good friend Dr. James Dobson has passed away. Family, faith, and freedom were the core of James Dobson’s life. His passion for the family drove Dr. Dobson to become one of America’s leading authorities on child psychology. His faith led him to start Focus on the Family and other pro-family ministries. Jim and Shirley Dobson were deeply involved in the National Day of Prayer. For 25 years, Shirley led the organization that conducted observances for the National Day of Prayer. While Dr. Dobson is most well-known for Focus on the Family, his leadership in the… Read More

Top executives at the biggest banks in America just admitted to Fox News that they did in fact debank conservatives. They did so under pressure from President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden. This is an extremely important story, and it’s another indication of the relentless attempt by the Left and the leaders of the Democrat Party to make it impossible for conservatives and Christians to exist as an effective force in America. The neo-Marxist Left doesn’t want us to be able to advocate our values, to have organizations, or to be able to challenge them in any meaningful way.… Read More

Yesterday’s White House peace summit between President Trump, President Zelensky, and various European leaders was definitely a big step forward. Here’s how President Trump summarized the summit in a Truth Social post: “During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries. . . Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine. “At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President… Read More

Friday’s summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was historic. While it did not produce a peace deal, it set the stage for today’s summit at the White House between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, along with several European leaders. Today’s summit involved a series of meetings throughout the day. First, Trump met with Zelensky in the Oval Office. There were no fireworks at today’s public meeting. Next, Trump met with European leaders. Finally, Trump, Zelensky, and the leaders of the European Union, NATO, France, Germany, Great Britain, Finland, and Italy all met… Read More

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
