The legacy media would have you believe America has moved past God, that people of faith are fringe, backward, or even dangerous. That’s not reality. It’s narrative. Pew Research says about 83% of Americans believe in God or a higher power, roughly two-thirds pray regularly, and around 70% identify with a religion. That’s not “extremism.” That’s mainstream America. So why the constant drumbeat, do...

Following Former President Barack Obama’s bashing of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, I’m sitting down with immigration attorney Deron Smallcomb for a data-driven reality check.

Only six developed nations rank lower. At the...

After decades analyzing kidnapping cases and working directly with the FBI and law enforcement , I can tell you this: real kidnapping-for-ransom cases follow patterns. The kidnappers make contact. They provide proof of life. They issue demands quickly. They want a transaction, not a standoff. That’s how these cases typically work. But that is not what I’m seeing in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. &n...
