By[email protected] February 13, 2026April 22, 2026

On President Donald Trump’s social media platform, someone in the administration—the White House offered different versions of how this happened—posted a 62-second cartoon video set to the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” This was posted on a Thursday night and, following cries of “racism,” was removed by noon the following day.

3 Months In: Is Texas Winning the War Against Islamization?
By[email protected] February 13, 2026April 22, 2026

In November, a “WarRoom” clip exposed two Sharia courts in Texas, operating for years and handling hundreds of cases. While legal if both parties agree, Muslim women often face strong pressure to use Sharia courts over county courts. Under strict Sharia, women inherit less, divorce is difficult, and testimony counts for less. Refusal can lead…

Shut Up and Slide, Team USA
By[email protected] February 12, 2026April 22, 2026

“I learned a long time ago, keep your d— mouth shut if you want to stay in show business,” said the great Dolly Parton. Do you know where she stands on immigration enforcement, veganism, or Gaza? Me neither. Uninformed virtue signaling is a staple of the U.S. entertainment industry. Freeing Tibet, global warming, masking, and…

Artificial Intelligence Is Here for Your Children
By[email protected] February 12, 2026April 22, 2026

All the parenting books in the world five years ago could not have fathomed the ubiquitous presence of artificial intelligence in our children’s lives today. If parents remain ignorant of AI’s true power, we risk surrendering our children to the deepest, darkest psychological abyss humanity has ever encountered. With hindsight, we can see the true devastation new technologies like smartphones and social…

By[email protected] February 12, 2026April 22, 2026

Last Friday, Florida began administering English-only driver’s license exams, only the fourth state to do so. English-only driving exams make the roads safer for all drivers, and every other state should follow suit.

Why Are the Media Bending Over Backward to Be ‘Sensitive’ to the ‘Identity’ of a Mass Murderer?
By[email protected] February 12, 2026April 22, 2026

It is a journalist’s duty to report the truth, yet so many news outlets covered themselves in shame by bowing and scraping to honor the “transgender identity” of the man who carried out one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history. Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, was born a man and he died a man….

A Japanese Lesson for Troubled Britain
By[email protected] February 12, 2026April 22, 2026

The contrast between America’s great island allies on opposite ends of the world couldn’t be more drastic. Japan has just given its commonsense conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, a two-thirds supermajority in the national legislature’s Lower House; her Liberal Democratic Party took the highest proportion of seats of any party since World War II. It’s…

‘Moderate’ Democrat Twists Christian Compassion to Defend Transgender ‘Treatments’
By[email protected] February 11, 2026April 22, 2026

As medical associations are reconsidering transgender “medicine” for minors, Democrats—even “moderate” ones like Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear—seem to be missing the memo. Just a few days after a jury awarded $2 million in damages to a detransitioner woman who underwent surgery at 16, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons subsequently recommended against surgeries for…

US Olympic Athletes Trash-Talking USA? Didn’t Megan Rapinoe Teach Them Nothing?
By[email protected] February 11, 2026April 22, 2026

When it comes to the Olympics, certain things are no-brainers. Don’t ski jump in high heels. Don’t do mixed doubles curling with an ex-spouse. Don’t do a two-man luge with JB Pritzker on top. I would add, “Don’t trash the nation you’re there to represent.” Apparently, several members of Team USA don’t have brains. It…

Last week’s hearing in the Charlie Kirk murder case was a legal harbinger of things to come.

Democrats’ Demographic Doom Spiral Has No Exit
By[email protected] February 10, 2026April 22, 2026

President Donald Trump isn’t just deporting illegal immigrants. He’s deporting the people Democrats need to offset their demographic challenges. The Census Bureau recently released updated population figures through June 2025. The country grew slightly, but that growth wasn’t equally distributed. Many red states, like South Carolina, Idaho, and Texas, grew significantly. In just one year,…

Lessons From Portugal for European Conservatives
By[email protected] February 9, 2026April 22, 2026

When an election produces results not seen in decades, it is a shock to the system. Andre Ventura’s second-place finish in the first round of the Portuguese presidential election was just such a shock.
