Israel, Iran engaged in clash of civilizations
Bold and Blunt
Israel's war on Iran is not so much preemptive, as it is reactive: Iran, after all, through its proxies, has been attacking the Jewish nation for years, most horrifically, perhaps, on October 7, 2023. And now, as Israel targets Iran's military structures and nuclear sites, Iran is responding by hitting Israel's housing sectors and its main hospital. It really is a case of clashing worldviews; it really is a matter of good versus evil. Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is on the ground, in the war-torn areas, setting personal safety aside to get...

America should help Israel win
Bold and Blunt
It's not enough for Americans to cheer Israel from a distance in the Jewish nation's war against Iran. America ought to be willing to enter militarily if necessary. Israel's war is America's war — is all of civil society's war. And taking out a terrorist threat that has not only gone after Israel's people, but also America's, is not exactly a war of the so-called military industrial complex. It's a war of good versus evil and America is a named enemy. The chant, after all, is "death to Israel, death to America." Dr. Susan Michael, president of International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, talks...

The Bible still matters
Bold and Blunt
Is the Bible applicable in today's modern society — and can its content be trusted to help believers solve every question that pops up, from which job to take to where to live to what to cook for dinner? Answer: Yes. Many modern Americans believe in God; that is to say, believe God exists. But far too many believers don't think God works in their own personal lives. They think God is too busy, too distant, too unconcerned to deal with the day-to-day. But that's completely untrue. Mark Gerson, author of "God Was Right," has much to say about the matter.

Serving God on the job
Bold and Blunt
Christians may do a decent job of attending church, reading the Bible and applying biblical truths to their own lives. But where it gets difficult for Christians is when they go to work on Monday — and their jobs are secular so they're expected to leave God at home. But this is not how God wants us to live. God wants to be part of everything; He wants us to walk with Him 24/7, 365 days a year, wherever we are and whatever we're doing. Serving God is not solely a Sunday thing. Jonathan Isaac, NBA star with the Orlando Magic, shares his new Christian apparel line and how he brings God into a...

America the virtuous
Bold and Blunt
If America is to stay free, then citizens must be virtuous. But what does that mean? Too often, virtue is a word that's mistakenly used as a synonym for principle or idea or value. And if people can't even agree on its definition, then how can we instill it as a need in the minds of Americans? David Hein, author of "Teaching the Virtues," discusses.

Big Pharma, putting America last
Bold and Blunt
The pharmaceutical industry in America has grown its profits massively in recent years, but if you think executives are passing this along to the consumer, think again. Americans are having to pay twice as much, three times as much — 15 times as much — for the same medicines Big Pharma sells to others around the world. Why is that? Part of the reason is — they can. They've taken full advantage of the free market this country provides, and have spent their profits more on marketing and advertising than on lowering prescription costs. J.D. Hayworth, former congressman now with...

God the genius mathematician
Bold and Blunt
Math to many is just another class to struggle through; just another course that has to be taken in order to graduate or get into college. And one of the most common questions among math-haters in school is this: Why do I need to know this if I'm not going into math for a career? The reason is simple. Math is God's way of laying out the universe. Dr. William West discusses his years of research, in his new "Sacred Science," that attributes God's universal creation to eight mathematical equations.

From dark to light, from Biden to Trump
Bold and Blunt
Moving from the Joe Biden White House to the Donald Trump Administration has been like a shift from dark to light, from night to day — from evil to good, even. Just look at the latest revelations from a former Biden aide who said many in the Democrat Party regarded Trump as such an existential threat to society that they willingly engaged in "undemocratic" actions so long as the end result brought destruction against all-things-MAGA. Talk about evil. Mary Walter, host of Mary Walter Radio, talks up the good, bad and ugly of politics, and particularly of Team Trump.

Benjamin Franklin's advice for America
Bold and Blunt
The Founding Fathers would have been very pleased with some of the politics of modern America, but on the other hand, very displeased with others. Benjamin Franklin, in particular, would not favor the growth of government — but at the same time, he would appreciate some of the globalism that has advanced the economies of the world. Mark Skousen is an eighth-generation descendant of Franklin and has penned the book, "The Greatest American," aimed at showing why this founder-slash-inventor-slash-diplomat was truly so genius.

Trump's Middle East miscalculation
Bold and Blunt
President Donald Trump is an expert strategist, a national treasure and a true American patriot. But he's still only human, and therefore, prone to political missteps and mistakes. And on his recent Middle East trip, he's cut deals that might very well prove to be costly for America down the line. It's like when Republicans thought they could turn China into a more modern, capitalistic and free society by opening the nation's doors to economic opportunity. Beware entangling overseas alliances, George Washington warned. Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, a Muslim-turned-Christian and a U.S. national...
info_outlineHave you ever wondered why communists build such ugly gray cement structures? Or why artwork from leftists seems so very often vulgar and depraved? It's part of their ideology, that's why. There are key psychological reasons that those on the left seek, through culture and art and entertainment, to demonize all that's traditionally regarded as beautiful, as inspirational, as breathtaking. There's a reason Jill Biden, former first lady, offered the world such a bizarre and freaky Christmas show within the supposedly hallowed halls of the White House. Campus Reform editor-in-chief Zachary Marschall talks about the state of American art, from the breaking news perspective of what President Donald Trump is doing with the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
