Democrats, the left, the leftists in the Democrat Party like to say they're all about diversity and inclusion. But when it comes to listening to views that differ from their own leftist politics, they suddenly forget the meaning of diversity and inclusion. They turn into censor-crazy Marxists. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Allen West (retired) was supposed to speak at a campus in Florida. But he was barred. Why? He's just too pro-America, it seems.
America's on a freefall toward incompetent government — so it would seem, anyway. And the problem is that as government grows, so, too, the bureaucratic frustrations. It's one thing when tax paying American citizens can't get a real human on a government agency's telephone, and instead have to run the gamut of one recorded message after another. But what of when the bloated and inefficient and unaccountable bureaucratic class wants to go to war — or tell the citizens to take a Covid shot and stay home? Documentary filmmaker Michael Pack has much to say about Afghanistan and Iran and Covid and more, all from the perspective of someone who's studied, and made movies about, the failures of government to provide properly for the people.
It's bad enough when a natural disaster strikes and citizens lose their homes, their businesses, their access to medical treatments and clean water and schools for their kids. But then to have to wait years — and more years! — for the well-funded FEMA to chip in the tax dollars to pay for the rebuilds? That's maddening and outrageous. David Richardson, who served as the acting head of FEMA during the Texas floods, and who then wrote the book on the bureaucracy of it all, "Texas Flood 4 July 2025," said you're better off rebuilding on your own if disaster strikes — because you can't afford to wait on the government to help.
Can Christians believe in UFOs and so-called aliens and still be Christian? Yes, said Derrick Warfel, author of "UFOs and GOD," and creator of a documentary of the same name. The devil is in the details, so to speak, and of tantamount importance, he said, is to realize that these supposed aliens are actually demonic — they're part and parcel of the descriptions of the supernatural within the Bible.
If there's one lesson to learn from the whole Covid tyranny years in America, it's that government is not science and should never again be allowed to dictate how individuals deal with medical issues, including pandemics. Unfortunately, Congress has given Big Pharma and their partners some powerful tools to push shots and medical treatments into the public sector without properly testing them for safety and efficacy — and without having to face consequences for adverse impacts. Mary Holland, president of Children's Health Defense, talks about mRNA shots, Anthony Fauci, the state of America's medical freedoms, and more.
President Donald Trump may be one of the most effective leaders in combating the peril of socialism and communism and all the anti-American political and cultural rot the Democrat Party has brought in recent years. But don't expect those on the left to see it — or acknowledge it in any way. They're too busy flailing in the streets. Todd Starnes discusses the "golden age" of Trump, and his own personal confrontation with the TDS nuts.
America has moved rapidly from middle-of-the-road politics to a place of far-leftist infiltration, where the Democrats have let progressives, socialists and even communists take root in their party and spread their rot through government. And it's at the point where culture, education and the economy are all facing the same communist jolt. As the U.S. State Department releases its report on Cuba's infiltration of America, Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, has new information on how China's CCP is winding its way through the business and energy sectors.
When it comes to protecting the future of American Exceptionalism, it's the Judeo-Christian worldview that matters most. That's because without God, there can be no God-given rights and liberties. Remove God, and all that's left is government-granted — and remember, what government grants it can also take away. Troy Miller, CEO of NRB, talks about the importance of the Judeo-Christian worldview and the battle that's confronting America right now.
