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

Marxists, i.e. Democrats, destroy art

Mar 11 2025 37 mins

Have you ever wondered why communists build such ugly gray cement structures? Or why artwork from leftists seems so very often vulgar and depraved? It's part of their ideology, that's why. There are key psychological reasons that those on the left seek, through culture and art and entertainment, to demonize all that's traditionally regarded as beautiful, as inspirational, as breath

Gen Zers still — still! — embracing socialism

Mar 06 2025 36 mins

The youth of America are still embracing socialism, according to recent reports. And that's becoming a real problem for American Exceptionalism. After all, if the roots of America's greatness are vested in the idea that individual rights and liberties come from God, and government only serves to protest and preserve those individual rights and liberties, then the opposite — the o

Democrats are losing, MAGA is winning

Mar 04 2025 32 mins

Democrats keep making massive political missteps, and if they continue down this path, they won't only lose the midterms -- they'll lose their ability to win leadership posts in Congress and in the White House for years and years to come. That's great news for conservatives. But the question is: Why? Why are Democrats so resistant to embrace even the most common sense and unifying

Dumbing down America must end now

Feb 14 2025 35 mins

Everybody knows America's public school systems have fallen in ratings and standards these past years, and are failing to educate children in the ways they need to lead fruitful, prosperous lives. But it's not enough to be aware of the sad state of America's education systems. It's high time to do something about it. If we want an America that's led by people who understand the con

Faith makes a comeback in America

Feb 11 2025 30 mins

Did you hear President Donald Trump's inaugural speech? How about his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast? In both, Trump spoke openly, bluntly, boldly about the need for America to get back in the faith -- to reclaim the greatness of our country that comes from the Creator. And after four long years of having the previous administration push transgender rights, gay rights, an

Trump moves swiftly to jumpstart MAGA economy

Feb 04 2025 32 mins

Look around and watch as the savings grow: President Donald Trump's new administration is taking it seriously to save the U.S. taxpayer from waste and corruption. There's a cut coming to USAID. There are billions of dollars in cuts coming by way of Elon Musk's DOGE. There are cuts coming by way of the pause in federal grant funding. And it's all good for citizens who want a governm
