Conservative political analyst Gayle Trotter was a guest on the Andrew Wilkow Show on Salem Network to talk about her new book, "Right in the World". She also talked about why suburban women care more about border, inflation and the price of gas than Roe v Wade going back to the states; why Democrats try to wipe out the rights directly stated in th…

In this week's episode, I discuss how states (including Texas and Montana) are becoming Second Amendment Sanctuaries; an attempt to change the Left's messaging on gun control away from a "public health threat" to a "national security threat"; and why a possible factor in the surge of mass shootings can be related back to the ACLU and their efforts …

In this episode I share some news items about the first amendment which caught my eye this week. Can you be charged for flying an "[Expletive] Biden" flag in your own yard? Does Florida's new law combating rioting and memorial destruction violate the first amendment? Has the Supreme Court given religious liberty too much deference recently? What ar…

I was on Fox News Media Buzz on Sunday to talk about two stories concerning the media and the President. First was fake news reporting that the President had had a stroke last fall, and the second is how the media went berserk when the President pointed out an obvious weakness in mailing voting, which the media has been pushing for months.…

I want to share with you various items that came up this week. The first is an update of the ongoing persecution of General Flynn, the second is an excellent jobs creation report than beat expectations, the third is a totally insane article in The Atlantic that is trying to drive a wedge in Trump's MAGA base and is evidence the lamestream media is …

The Republican National Convention exceeded all expectations and was a resounding success. It clearly showed how President Trump and the Republicans want to build things up in stark contrast to the Democrat's and their radical Marxist agenda wanting to tear things down. That was shown last night with powerful, moving speeches and testimonies ending…

Today I spoke with Liz Harrington, the spokesperson for the Republican National Convention, about the incredible speeches given at the convention and how the powerful, hopeful story of real Americans who have benefited from the promise of America contrasts with the dark, tear-down-everything agenda of the Democrats. We talked about the inspiring sp…

This has been such a weird and unexpected year! Given the 2020 presidential election where Americans have a real choice between a leftist Biden/Harris administration and a liberty-loving, tyranny-hating Trump administration, we were guaranteed to have an active year.Then the Chinese Communist Party Virus hit a stunned and unprepared world; the lock…

I've got a lot of things in the news to cover for this week: the predictable Biden choice for VP, Kamala Harris and gun control, Biden's nutty mask mandate and wearing masks on Zoom alone in your house (??!), the historic Israel-UAE agreement, update on Durham investigation, update on the Gen. Michael Flynn case, MSM Watch and how they slip in lies…

Summer is for the beach, and we all need some time to reflect on the crazy year we have experienced. Also, we need to store up energy for the fall election season. I took this week off from regular daily episodes so I could do some reflecting on the bigger themes of the year. I also have been praying for the people of Beirut this week as they suffe…

General Michael Flynn today is still a man with his liberty in jeopardy.There are few events more stressful in life than being a criminal defendant with the full force and resources of the government arrayed against you, especially the federal Department of Justice.But in this case, it is no longer the federal prosecutors holding Michael Flynn’s li…

Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display at the House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday, Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Attorney General Bill Barr was the picture of calm and control as the Democrats threw futile temper tantrums and embarrassed themselves. Because these childish House Democrats could not put President Donald Trump in the hot sea…

What happens when you are a “liberal mugged by reality”? You might just want to go buy a gun and demand government action against liberal rioting! That’s what happened to ESPN Radio Host Paul Gallant.Paul directed President Donald Trump to “Chill Dawg,” when President Trump tweeted about the malfeasance of Seattle’s mayor. Paul tweeted that he did …

Governors across the country are using the COVID-19 pandemic to grab power. Their power grabs reveal a lot about each governor. These governors act like they now have a carte blanche to disregard our Constitution. Take, for example, Nevada. The governor of Nevada, Steve Sisolak, issued a directive that allowed bars, casinos, and gyms to host crowds…

Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York personifies so many glaring issues with today’s Democrat party. Democrat politicians love power and control, even when their exercise of that power harms Americans. But the mainstream media will never hold these Democrat politicians accountable for their actions! Instead you will see glowing appraisals of these inc…

Bad ideas from Virginia are headed to Congress. We witnessed a take over of power of the Virginia state government by Democrats, and the Democrat legislators hastily passed sweeping gun restrictions. Democrat Governor Northam signed the laws and the laws became effective this July. The Virginia Democrats are not stopping there. Virginia Senators Ti…

Think of all that came out of the FBI’s actions to undergird the reliability of the Dirty Dossier, assembled and promoted by British spy Christopher Steele -- the FISA applications; the eavesdropping on the Trump campaign; the targeting of top and lower level Trump campaign helpers; the $25 million Special Counsel investigation, and worst of all, t…

The judge overseeing the case against General Michael Flynn won’t accept the decision of the appellate court telling him to dismiss the abusive case against General Flynn. He is like an umpire trying to force the teams to play extra innings after the game is over. As General Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell wrote in her recent brief to the appellate co…

Is it hard to make sense of what is going on today in our country? As I watch from the east coast what is going on in California, I cannot help but wonder why the citizens of California tolerate the patent double standards of their state government? A governor who is in the pocket of the teachers unions? Attacks on religious faith at the same time …

When Mark and Patricia McCloskey defended themselves with a strong show of force against hundreds of aggressive, trespassing people, I was reminded of my testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 30, 2013, when our federal lawmakers were considering banning certain firearms and operational parts of firearms under the bogus justific…

The Left has won again. New York Times Columnist and editor Bari Weiss resigned her position at the paper and wrote a scathing denunciation on her way out the door. Faulting the paper for not living it up to the high standards of journalism, Weiss revealed her struggles to be a centrist at a paper that punishes WrongThink and permits a culture of h…

President Trump commuted the criminal sentence of long-time friend and supporter Roger Stone last week. Many Americans believed this commutation was long overdue since the prosecution of Roger Stone was politically motivated and based on the thinnest of gruel. In the end, Roger Stone was convicted of seven process crimes, and no American was ever c…

The mainstream media is criticizing President Trump for encouraging Americans to go back to work or children to go back to school. The American Academy of Pediatricians is urging children to be physically present in schools in the fall, and yet the media are aligned with the Biden campaign and the talking points of the teacher's union who want to k…

The continuing saga of Trump's tax returns . . . . . The SCOTUS decision was a clear win for President Trump. He's not going to have to turn over his tax returns before the November election and it's possible he'll never have to turn over them. The Court decided in a 7-2 decision that there is a separation of powers issue and they sent both cases b…

As Justice Thomas wrote in Wednesday's, July 8, 2020 Supreme Court decision, “For over 150 years, the Little Sisters have engaged in faithful service and sacrifice, motivated by a religious calling to surrender all for the sake of their brother.” After the Obama Administration decided to force nuns and other religious believers to violate their con…

Attacks against the Second Amendment are unremitting. A new attack strategy seeks to repeal statewide protections for law-abiding citizens to exercise their second amendment rights and focus on passing more meaningless restrictions at the local level. One of these meaningless and probably harmful gestures just took effect in the City of Alexandria,…

Can state electors cast their votes for whomever they chose in a presidential election? We witnessed several electors do just that in 2016, in an effort to deny Donald Trump his hard won victory by throwing the presidential election into the House of Representatives. On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that states can punish electors who aban…

Some American speeches go down in history as the right words, at the right time, by the right speaker. The speech delivered by President Trump at Mount Rushmore will go down as his bravest and best speech, one to inspire not only us but also future generations of Americans, during what is a cultural revolution on top of a health crisis. MENTIONEDht…

By a slim margin of 5 to 4, the Supreme Court struck down a state law that banned state aid to religious schools. This decision shows a respect for the long-neglected First Amendment of religious rights. Justice Thomas rightly noted that Supreme Court decisions in the 20th century went too far, bordering on religious hostility and hampering the fre…

The liberal NPR recently interviewed Attorney General Bill Barr and asked him typically biased questions, but he had them on the defensive as he spit facts back at the interviewer. Barr doesn't let the media mob, the Left nor the Democrats bully him and he is a great pick by President Trump to defend our Constitution. I go over some of the great th…

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and the four Democrat-nominated justices rules in favor of the abortionists this week and against the health and safety of women and their elected representatives in Louisiana.

The Trump Administration won at the Supreme Court yesterday when the court decided by 7 votes to 2 votes to deny review of the asylum request of a Sri Lankan who was arrested 25 yards away from the US border after illegally entering the US.

“Democrats continue to try to redesign our entire election system mere months before November to fit their partisan agenda.” So says RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, and she is right!Remember Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel when he said: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things …

Why is the clear language of our Constitution so difficult to understand for some people? Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution states: “The Executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” We keep running up against challenges to this fundamental principle of our system of government, from the continuing garba…

The judicial branch has just dumped buckets of sand into what should be a straight-forward process of this administration being able to undo what was an unlawful executive action in the first place. Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but Chief Justice John Roberts strikes yet again. By the time this gets through the courts again, it will be a new…

The political persecution of General Michael Flynn continues on. I wish I could report to you today that the Appellate Court judges or the District Court judge have dismissed the case against General Flynn and apologized to him for the injustice he has suffered. That is not possible yet. I do have a new development in the case to share with you tho…

The Left enjoys nothing better than demeaning those who disagree with them. Frequent targets of their attacks are people like Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas is an American treasure. He is a great leader and inspiring fellow American. His life story is one that every American child should know. Yet we have publicly-funded museums tasked with recoun…

Why does the SECOND AMENDMENT get NO LOVE from our current Supreme Court? This week, the Supreme Court had the chance to take up a defense of our fundamental right to keep and bear arms. Yet the court denied ten requests to protect our beloved Second Amendment. These are our fellow citizens who are asking the Court to protect their right to defend …
