New Jersey’s 2025 Republican gubernatorial primary is shaping up to be more than just a political contest—it’s a battle for the soul of conservatism in the Garden State.

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.

Ending the Abuse: Why It’s Time to Abolish the Presidential Pardon
The final moments of any presidency often reveal more about the character of the departing leader than years of speeches or photo ops ever could.

Biden’s Presidential Legacy: Achievements and Failures
With President Joe Biden’s term drawing to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the highs and lows of his presidency.

Biden’s China Connection: A Troubling Web of Family Ties
Well, well, well. The National Archives recently dropped a bombshell on the Biden family narrative that’s harder to ignore than a teenager’s messy room. The newly released photos show then-Vice President Joe Biden grinning alongside two of Hunter Biden’s Chinese business partners back in December 2013. This revelation directly contradicts Biden’s repeated claims that he…
Is Biden “Quiet Quitting” or Just Coasting?
As President Biden soaks up the sun in St. Croix, staying at a villa owned by wealthy Democratic donors, both sides of the political aisle are scratching their heads—and not from sunburn. Republicans and Democrats alike are questioning his choices as he winds down his presidency, with murmurs of "quiet quitting" and allegations of ethical…
A Christian Conservative Perspective on President Biden’s Commutations
Well, folks, President Joe Biden just made a sweeping decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal inmates on death row, replacing their death sentences with life imprisonment without parole.
