One year ago (on October 7, 2023), the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust occurred. Out of over 200 nations worldwide, only Israel faces a constant threat of annihilation. Despite claims, the Middle East conflict isn't about establishing a Palestinian state. Dennis reminds us that the ultimate goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran remains the destruction of Israel and wiping the Jewish st...

Israel recently eliminated a Hezbollah leader, yet somehow, Israel faces criticism. Why? People should hate terrorists, not anti-terrorists.

If they target terrorists' communication devices, it’s a “war crime.” Is there anything Israel can do to defend itself against those who want to exterminate it? Lea...

Dennis explores this and more, answers your questions, and shares valuable life lessons from his childhood in this week’s Fireside Chat....

If Donald Trump is truly the “fascist Nazi” that many on the left claim he is, why wouldn’t you do everything possible to prevent him from gaining power? You can’t have it both ways—saying he’s a dictator that threatens American democracy but being relieved that an attempt to assassinate him failed. This week, Dennis explores the broader philosophical implications of the attempted assassination of...

On July 4, 1776, the Founders declared America's independence from Great Britain, initiating the greatest experiment in liberty in human history. However, with the decline of America’s education system, left-wing narratives like The 1619 Project, and the defamation of our Founding Fathers as nothing more than racist slave owners, the true significance of Independence Day is being forgotten by many...
