Well, bless your heart if you thought Trump's second term was going to be boring. It’s been just over 100 days since President Trump retook the reins of government, and whether you love him, tolerate him, or hate him, you can’t deny this: he came out of the gate like a bull on a mission.…
Tattoos, Truth, and Discernment
In a time when images can be edited with the swipe of a finger, and truth can be twisted into something barely recognizable, we are reminded just how critical discernment is — not only as citizens, but especially as Christians. The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father of three wrongly deported to El…
When Rhetoric Replaces Righteousness: A Christian Conservative Response to Pam Bondi’s MS-13 Claim
Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and longtime Republican fixture, has claimed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not only in the U.S. illegally, but was tied to the brutal MS-13 gang. Sounds terrifying, right? The kind of thing that makes you double-check your locks and thank God you live in a red state. But here's…
Righteous Ends Demand Righteous Means
So, the Supreme Court just handed down a decision that looks like a win for President Trump on the surface, but when you scratch a little deeper, it’s actually a warning shot — one that conservatives, constitutionalists, and anyone who still believes in the rule of law would do well to heed. At the heart…
Kicking Out the Bad Guys — The Right Way
So yesterday, the Trump team got it right — they deported 17 known gang members back to El Salvador using basic, no-frills, by-the-book immigration enforcement. No legal gymnastics. No invoking dusty wartime laws. Just using the tools we already have in the toolbox — the same tools every administration has had at its disposal for…
Wrong Tool for the Job: Why the Alien Enemies Act Was Misapplied
Yesterday, I wrote an article arguing that the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was the wrong legal tool to deport members of Tren de Aragua (TdA)—a position that my fellow conservative over at The Conservative TAKE strongly disagrees with. You can read his counterargument here. While he raises some valid points, his overall argument is fundamentally…
Andrew Cuomo’s Mayoral Bid: Redemption or Political Rebranding?
Andrew Cuomo running for mayor of New York City? Now that’s a plot twist no one saw coming—except maybe Cuomo himself. Three years after resigning in disgrace, the former governor is attempting the mother of all political comebacks, betting that New Yorkers have short memories and even shorter attention spans. The question isn’t just whether…
Trump’s Address: A Defiant Speech, a Dysfunctional Opposition, and the State of the Nation
President Trump’s latest address to Congress was a masterclass in defiance, a blend of policy, bravado, and political theater. It was everything we’ve come to expect from him—bold, brash, and unapologetic. Love him or hate him, the man doesn’t mince words. He doubled down on his key campaign promises, threw out some well-aimed jabs at…
House Republicans’ Budget Bill: A Step in the Right Direction, But Still Kicking the Can Down the Road
House Republicans narrowly passed a multi-trillion-dollar budget bill that seeks to extend tax cuts, increase defense and immigration enforcement spending, and trim $2 trillion in government spending over the next decade. The bill represents a necessary course correction from the reckless fiscal policies of the Biden administration, but let’s be clear: while it’s a step…
Germany’s Election: A Wake-Up Call for Conservatives—and the West
Germany’s latest election results weren’t just a routine political shake-up. They were a warning shot, not just for the country’s ruling leftist coalition, but for establishment conservatives who have lost their backbone. Friedrich Merz’s CDU managed to scrape out a weak victory, but the real story is the meteoric rise of Alternative for Germany (AfD),…
