The Surge of Socialism

The writer for the Catholic publication "First Things" says, "As a proud 'Reagan Democrat,' I felt blessed to be in Berlin a few days after the Wall fell in November 1989. I will never forget the sight of the Wall’s death strip or the blight and stench of decrepit East Berlin. The joy on the faces of those finally able to escape the East’s socialist police state is etched in my memory. It seemed this failed ideology was fully discredited and dead."

I too was in Berlin in November of 1989. I, too, will never forget the sights and sounds of freedom as people rushed across "the wall" from East to West, and the blight and stench of 1940's East Berlin. 

There were none rushing into East Berlin, except to help family and friends move to the West.  

It did indeed seem that a failed ideology had been fully discredited and dead.

It seems the dead ideology has been resurrected in America. 

Some are even calling it a "surge."

Is America Living On Fumes?

A popular Christian author says America has cut itself off from the root that feeds its freedom and greatness.

Cut flowers are beautiful until they're not. It doesn't take long for them to start dying, he says.

That's what Eric Metaxas, author of the new book Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, says.

Is America living on fumes?

Dolly Parton has died at age 80. More on that on the radio Program today.

The Enemy Within

In his oft-repeated speech in the Roman Senate, Cicero, in 42 B.C., spoke these words: 

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor - he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation - he works secretly and alone in the night to undermine the pillars of a city - he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."

Are we there yet?

Trump Administration Launches Huge Election Integrity Move

The Trump administration is set to enhance election security after announcing that the Department of Justice will deploy a record 1,000 election monitors nationwide for the November midterm elections.

Eric Daugherty recently wrote on X this week: "IT'S OFFICIAL: DOJ Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon is surging 1,000 election monitors to CLOSELY WATCH the 2026 midterms and guard against fraud... There's nothing to hide, unless you're CHEATING."

Former ABC Correspondent Admits Bias Against Trump

A former broadcast network reporter is admitting the mainstream media is biased against President Donald Trump and conservatives.

Most of us have already noticed that.

There was no love lost between President Trump and Terry Moran when the latter was a correspondent for ABC News. A good example is Moran's interview with Trump for ABC about the president’s first 100 days.

In a confused world, many are asking, "What is Truth?"
