Politics of the pope

Apr 17 2025 30 mins

It’s Holy Week, one of Christianity’s most reflective of seasons, and no time like the leadup to Easter to talk all-things-pope. Pope Francis has waded into politics in ways that have outraged many in America, particularly on border control, capitalism and climate change. So what’s a good Catholic to do? As author, singer, podcaster, journalist Raymond Arroyo of Fox News and

The weak FTC court case against Mark Zuckerberg

Apr 15 2025 33 mins

Mark Zuckerberg is in court right now, fighting an antitrust suit brought by the FTC against his Meta for a previous purchase of WhatsApp and Instagram. But this is a weak lawsuit. And sad to say, for conservatives who’ve been desiring a take-down of Zuckerberg for his brash and anti-American stifling of free speech on his social media platforms — this isn’t a case that shoul

Revenge quitting, and the youth-driven demise of success

Apr 11 2025 32 mins

Today’s youth are facing a crisis of confidence that comes from years of being pat on the head and told that the true purpose of life is to find happiness for happiness’ sake — character, hard work, goal-setting, achievement and living God’s will be danged. Blame it on the participation trophy types. They were the ones who told kids self-esteem has nothing to do with achiev

Media bias, bias and more bias

Apr 08 2025 36 mins

Members of the press by and large lean left — that’s the truth; polls and surveys over the years have shown most journalists vote Democrat, even the ones who claim to be independent. This is a problem because it means the American people can’t trust the reporters to report honestly on the political landscape. Just ask President Donald Trump — Russia collusion, pee tapes and

Taking back America’s schools

Apr 03 2025 35 mins

It’s time for America to take back its education system and teach the coming generations in the proper way to go — meaning, let’s leave the Marxism at home. American Exceptionalism relies on the idea that individual freedoms and rights come from a Creator; that each and every individual is born with God-given rights and liberties. And it also relies on the idea that America h

Christian conservatives on the march

Apr 01 2025 34 mins

One of the greatest ways to ensure America stays free and Americans maintain their individual liberties is to fill the halls and offices of government with those who understand the concept of God-given liberties and rights — that is to say, Christians, and those of Judeo-Christian belief. That's a nightmare for the left. But it's really the way to preserve the concept of individu

Too few women in politics?

Mar 25 2025 31 mins

Fully 53 percent of Pew Research Center respondents said there were too few American women in politics. What do you think? What's clear is that there are too few women holding Republican Party offices. When you look at the data and break down the figures, whether it's federal, state or municipal offices, fact is Democrats outnumber Republicans when it comes to women office-holders.

January 6 questions — answered

Mar 20 2025 35 mins

Are you one of the millions of Americans who still have questions about what happened on January 6, the day Donald Trump is blamed for causing an uproar at the Capitol? Well, thankfully some have done some deep dive investigative looks at the activities on Capitol Hill that day, and as it turns out — surprise, surprise, wink, wink — the government narrative isn't exactly truthf

Do you believe in miracles?

Mar 18 2025 32 mins

Miracles do exist. And even though some Christians are torn over believing miracles still exist today, fact is, God does indeed perform miracles regularly, and plenty of evidence shows that to be true. Billy Hallowell has a new documentary called "Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles," and in it, he takes a deep dive journalistic look at claims of medical healings and other suc

Reagan, still great after all these years

Mar 13 2025 32 mins

Polls consistently show Ronald Reagan is considered one of America's greatest and favorite presidents and after all these years, it's still easy to understand why: He was the great communicator who looked at America through the rosiest of glasses. He saw the good in people. He saw the good in the nation. And he constantly inspired all to seek the good, no matter their individual ci
