It’s impossible to not feel like your heart’s being ripped out by watching what’s happening in Afghanistan. The brutality. The Taliban’s takeover of an entire nation. The desperation of countless thousands who are trying to save themselves and their families. And the slaughters that are already underway by that terrorist regime. Presidents Trump and Biden both wanted to see the U.S.… Read more »

Mark my words: we’re in for a world of hurt. And it’s a direct result of President Biden’s retreat from Afghanistan. It is remarkable to see how quickly the Taliban has conquered major regions in that country. Afghanistan has 34 provinces, each with a capital city. Within just the last week alone, ten (10) of those provincial capitals have fallen into the hands of the Taliban.… Read more »

There is no excuse for this. At all. Two things are certain to happen following President Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. First, Taliban terrorists will soon take control of important sectors of that nation once again – that’s already happening. And second, every person they find who helped our nation along the way will be mercilessly SLAUGHTERED. Along with their… Read more »

If you’re scratching your head over this, join the crowd. Shortly after killing a pipeline that would have helped Americans and U.S. energy independence, Biden goes on to remove the only legal barriers we have opposing another pipeline that will promote RUSSIAN dominance and likely make our European allies more reliant on Vladimir Putin. Whose side is he on?! Here’s the background… Read more »

He was a scientist at the Univ. of Tennessee, participating in federally funded research on nanotechnologies. The problem, however, is that he was also privately running a similar operation over in China. He's accused of hiding this inconvenient fact from U.S. authorities. All this… Read more »

There is absolutely NO moral equivalent between Israel and Hamas. None. This latest escalation comes on the heels of Palestinian riots in Jerusalem. They’ve been rioting over property rights in one particular Jerusalem neighborhood. It’s actually part of litigation that’s working its way through Israel’s Supreme Court. Not content with the legal process, Hamas took it upon themselves to… Read more »

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »

The communist government of China is no friend of ours. They’re working every possible angle to exploit various aspects of our economy, steal our intellectual property, and create a one-way reliance on their country which they intend to leverage for political and military gain.   Three quick updates on this communist regime:   FIRST, finally some good news out of… Read more »

No surprises here. Let’s run through some of President Biden’s executive orders during his first week in office. These are campaign promises he’s making good on – we knew they’d be coming.   PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT: It’s basically a sham. There’s no objective standard – each country gets to define what it wants to do. Countries can lie six ways from Sunday about whether they’re… Read more »
