MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell, a self-made former crack addict, is going to transform 75% of his manufacturing capacity to make 10,000 cotton face masks per day by the end of the week, ramping up production to 50,000 a day in a month. That sounds like a patriotic act to me, especially given that Lindell is…
News that a Satanic temple is attempting to start an after-school club for children on school property in Virginia is the latest in a rising pattern of public activity by groups that openly identify as followers of Satan. Reports surfaced Tuesday that The Satanic Temple in Chesapeake, Virginia, had been approved to use a room at…
Michael Lindell, the inventor and CEO of MyPillow, stood outside the White House on Monday as a guest during the daily coronavirus task force briefing, at which he announced that his company had begun mass production of face masks. The Chaska, Minnesota-based pillow giant has retooled 75% of its production toward making face masks to…
When Ohio State played Utah at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day, 87,842 people packed into that stadium to watch the game. On New Year’s Eve, 66,839 attended the Orange Bowl to watch Georgia take on Michigan, and 76,313 attended the Cotton Bowl to watch Alabama take on Cincinnati. COVID-19 did not stop them….
Perhaps as soon as next week, the House Agriculture Committee will release its farm bill, and it looks now as if the end result likely will be a system that funnels even more money to agricultural producers. Here are seven signs the taxpayer-funded “safety net” in the legislation is a disaster: 1. The bill would…
Taylor Swift may be the hottest ticket this summer, but her listeners don’t share her country roots. That space has been captured by a series of anthems singing the blue-collar blues, songs that are a lot closer to—and a lot more correct—about what is bugging everyday Americans. American music has always been an echo chamber…
The current NAFTA renegotiations between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have major implications for American farmers, ranchers, and consumers, as shown by a new Heritage Foundation report. Agricultural trade in general is extremely important to the U.S. In 2016, agricultural exports totaled nearly $135 billion—more than three times the total in 1989. For many American…
It is no small thing to grasp the true significance of current events, let alone their spiritual meaning. Sure, any man can tell you that the southern states seceded because Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, and that they did so because Lincoln aimed to keep slavery out of the federal territories. Few at…
In the “whole of country” approach the United States has taken to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, companies large and small—and from a variety of industries—have joined the fight by developing diagnostic tests, altering production to make medical equipment and necessary supplies, and donating resources to those who need them. >>> When can America reopen? The…
Beware of writing critical things about Eileen Gu, a teenage skiing triple-medalist at the Beijing Olympics. You’ll be accused of racism. Gu was born and raised in San Francisco, but after competing for the U.S., she decided in 2019 that she was going to ski for Communist China, where her mother grew up. The most…
Allie Stuckey, host of the “Relatable” podcast on BlazeTV, joins us to discuss the spread of socialist ideology, her experiences on BlazeTV, the importance of mentors, and how to balance a career with motherhood. We also break down: Wendy Ullman, a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, calls early miscarriages and abortions “a mess…
Lobbyists generally have a bad reputation, but all they really do is advocate for their client’s best interest. Those particular interests may not be best for the rest of the public, but that’s fine as long as the rest of the public understands what’s going on. Farm subsidies provide the perfect example. A farm lobbying…
I recently had the pleasure of being invited by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to speak at a breakfast gathering honoring D.C. Emancipation Day. We would be celebrating the 157th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s formal emancipation of over 3,000 enslaved individuals in the district (on April 16, 1862). Several months later, on Jan. 1, 1863,…
EL PASO, Texas—On the outskirts of this west Texas desert town, the “no go zone” of the U.S. border with Mexico is pitch black and tense at 10 p.m. Darkness suits everyone’s interests here; it appears neither border crossers nor U.S. Border Patrol agents want to be seen before they make their move. Anapra Road…
Who makes history? When people think of history makers, they may first think of those whose accomplishments rest upon specific moments in their life. However, there are individuals whose actions over a lifetime create ripple effects for many years to come. A man of this exact nature, the late Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., served as…
In May, the MAHA Commission report elevated the chronic disease epidemic and laid out, in broad outline, the potential culprits, one of which is “environmental exposures.” The reality of the epidemic, especially among children, is hard to deny. Any effort to identify the cause or causes of that epidemic, however, is bound to be controversial…
This government shutdown is now longer than any in history. The media keep using the word “crisis.” “Shutdown sows chaos, confusion and anxiety!” says The Washington Post. “Pain spreads widely.” The New York Times headlined, it’s all “just too much!” But wait. Looking around America, I see people going about their business—families eating in restaurants,…
On the last day of the Trump administration, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a determination saying that genocide and crimes against humanity are taking place against Uighur Muslims and other minorities in Xinjiang, China. The determination is an essential step toward ensuring justice for the more than 1 million Uighurs currently held in political reeducation facilities…
Medicare is in serious need of fundamental reform. The old way in which Medicare reimbursed physician services was broken and needed to be scrapped. It was understandable that Congress wanted to find a permanent solution to the Medicare “Doc Fix” rather than relying on another short-term patch. The “Doc Fix” that was enacted in March…
On the 156th anniversary of Juneteenth, protecting the integrity of an electoral system that black Americans have struggled so hard to participate in is more important than ever. Here is what thought leaders and black Americans have to say about defending election integrity in America. Curtis Hill: On Juneteenth, We Must Commit to Protecting the…
