  • Civics education could save America

    Civics education could save America
    Oct 2 2025
    A good dose of civics in America's high schools could do much in terms of teaching the coming generation to love this country, to respect this country's Founding Fathers and to cherish the idea of God-given rights and liberties that this nation -- unlike any other in the world -- both offers and provides its citizens. But barring that, just injecting some good news into our daily fights against Marxists could help turn a few minds to the right side of thinking, as well. Jackie Cushman talks about her campaign to bring a John Adams memorial to Washington, D.C., just in time for the 250th celebration of America.

  • Starving in Gaza? Don't blame Israel

    Starving in Gaza? Don't blame Israel
    Sep 30 2025
    Media reports for months have blasted the starvation situation that has resulted in Gaza from the long-running Israel-Hamas war -- that Hamas started, by the way.

It's utterly false to claim the Israeli people are trying to starve to death the people of Gaza. It's actually the opposite: the IDF has worked hard to open channels of aid to the civilians in Gaza. And few know better about the real situation on the ground in Gaza than Chapin Fay, spokesperson for Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

  • Post-Charlie Kirk, the pews are filling

    Post-Charlie Kirk, the pews are filling
    Sep 23 2025
    It's almost biblical -- that part in the Bible where God promises that He will take evil and turn it good for those who believe in Him -- but it's almost biblical how the days after Charlie Kirk's assassination have seen a dramatic jump in attendance at churches. It's the youth in particular who are filling the pews, said J.P. De Gance, founder of Communio. Whether or not the increased church attendance will last for long or not is the million dollar question.
