KLAR: Tradical Radicalism – Conservatism is Countercultural and ‘Cool’

December 10, 2025 John Klar

A Great Awakening from the Great Wokeness The 60s free-love revolution proclaimed love and peace as primary values, and especially embraced freedom from social and economic constraints. Epitomized by Timothy Leary’s call to “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” the movement’s essence was countercultural. Six decades later, the pendulum is swinging back. In the 1960s, … Read more

CARDELLO: I Made the Mistake of Thinking of Charlie’s Death in Political Terms

September 15, 2025 Ray Cardello

People today have the attention span of a child, bouncing from one news story to the next. Only a major happening can survive the evening news to live another day. The killing of Charlie Kirk is more than a major happening, and you can feel the momentum of this story building to a crescendo of … Read more

BOWMAN: America’s Infallible Cure

August 29, 2025 Jim Bowman

America’s present situation has been periodically nurtured with falsehoods such as “America isn’t a Christian nation” – not that it’s been a major influence, but it certainly provided more steam for this anti-American engine. A corrective response is best served from the time when America gained its independence. Few realize that a deep study of … Read more

Payne: Never Give Up

July 9, 2025July 5, 2025 Russ Payne

My hero, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, Father of the Underground Church, freed from Communist prison hell in 1967, became the founder of “Jesus to the Communist World,” now “The Voice of the Martyrs.” In his book “In God’s Underground,” he describes an ordeal of torture administered by a communist Lieutenant that has gradually become too close … Read more

Amid The Extreme and Perverse

April 23, 2025 Jim Bowman

The familiar adage, “the longest journey begins with the first step,” is so true and very applicable to today’s American decline. Particular to my life, I now consider the Supreme Court’s ruling that banned prayer from our nation’s classrooms as being that first step to America’s downward spiral. I suppose that for me, the importance … Read more

“Jesus Save Me!”

July 9, 2025October 13, 2024 Russ Payne

During Hurricane Helene’s devastation from Asheville, NC, a mom interviewed on TV tearfully expressed how proud she was of the courage of her 7-year-old son, Micah. Meghan Drye shared Micah’s final words while drowning with his two grandparents. Instead of crying out in fear, Micah called out, “Jesus save me!” There’s a lesson in this … Read more

God Has Interfered In The Election

July 17, 2024 Ray Cardello

God may not be a Republican, but he certainly has put his hand on the 2024 election. The fact that the former President is still walking on earth is evidence of Divine intervention. The fact that 15,000 Trump fans did not run for cover when shots rang out in Pennsylvania is proof that a Higher … Read more

Are We Trapped in a Lie at the End of Which There Is No Justice at All

July 11, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Have you ever considered the problem we have created for ourselves? We let relativists, humanists, and scientistism strip the world of mystery and meaning beyond what they see. Their vision is the revealed truth. Their words are sacred.

Not So Intelligent Design

February 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The origin of life and the universe is not a typical water-cooler conversation, but in an increasingly secular world, nagging questions remain. Problems for which relativists, atheists, and secularists can’t answer with certainty. Well, no one can; that’s the beauty of mystery, but the uniqueness of reality suggests the need for more debate.

Blogline(s) Of the Day: About Fish Food and Someone Who Has the Religious IQ of Fish Food

July 2, 2022 Skip

SHOT: Americans ‘Trust the Media Now Like They Trust Gas Station Sushi’ Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) sounded off about the U.S. Capitol Police’s arrest of a group of staffers from CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” for allegedly trespassing in the Capitol. Kennedy said the incident looked like “another example of a bunch of … Read more

Have Faith in Their Hypocrisy

January 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The Government-first people are the first to question the motives of wealthy pastors but what about the motives and machinations of greedy their government?

Have Faith in Their Hypocrisy

January 14, 2025January 11, 2022 Steve MacDonald

If it is disgusting, unethical, or even criminal for a church leader to spend money they ask for and receive voluntarily – on themselves instead of their supposed mission, so how is it not exponentially worse than members of Congress (or their donors or supporters) are getting rich (or at least enriched) on the money … Read more

We Are Forgetting Our Humanity

January 11, 2022 Op-Ed

My heart pounding, I couldn’t believe my ears. It felt like a surreal nightmare. Yet, I was in my home office on the phone with the third Greater Manchester hospital I had called that night on behalf of my friend.

Is The World of 2021 a Decrepit Place?

January 2, 2022 Op-Ed

If you view it from a certain angle, the world in 2021 is a decrepit place. In the United States’ northeast corridor, what has by many been considered the seat of global power since the fall of the Berlin Wall in the early 1990s, a rogue government tyrannizes people under the guise of revolutionary socialism.

Testimony Nov. 8, 2021, On Vaccines

November 10, 2021 Op-Ed

Our bodies belong to God, not government and not even ourselves, and Scripture makes this clear:

Make No Mistake, the Educational Establishment Has Made Its Choice.

October 4, 2021 Op-Ed

One historian starts his course on the history of freedom with the battle of Marathon in 409 BC. I think it began with the Exodus from Egypt. Or perhaps it was when Moses picked up his pen and began to write Genesis.

Surrender Is Not an Option

July 17, 2021 Amil Imani

Who are we? We are patriots. We are Americans. We are individuals dedicated to resisting tyranny, lies, and the propaganda of the media, high-tech companies, and voter fraud for what it is. We believe in the sanctity of the elections and the sanctity of life.

California Gov. Nuisance Ordered to Pay Church 1.35 Million in Legal Fees After Losing Shutdown Lawsuit

May 26, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The Left Coast’s poster-child for failed state politics in California. Governor Nuisance (Newsom), the Bolshevik band-leader, can be relied upon to do the wrong thing almost every time. With enthusiasm. Like shutting down churches and belittling the religious community.

“The Ease of Atheism”

May 18, 2021 Skip

I’ve known Erick Erickson for over a decade when I met him at a collection of 49 other State level bloggers called Samsphere that was put together by a (now defunct) Liberty group called, oddly enough, the Sam Adams Alliance. I’m still in touch with some of those bloggers including Jim Hoft who owns The Gateway Pundit.

1492

April 30, 2021April 22, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The left is trying to cram the 1619 Project into the public subconscious as the beginning of your history. In response, the Right proposed the 1776 project—a presentation of the greatness that sprung from America’s founding.
