Bold and Blunt

America has moved beyond its founding principles of limited government and fallen headlong into a system where socialism, communism and Marxism are rapidly becoming the guiding compasses. Today's Democrat Party is hardly the same as John F. Kennedy years -- or even of Bill Clinton years. Rather, it's been taken over and dominated by communist influences. China expert Bill Gertz says Marxists have infiltrated this Joe Biden administration and that's a leading factor in why China is spreading its communist rot both domestically and internationally. What's the hope for freedom? In America, one solution is to teach the coming generations to once again love, cherish and revere freedom.

Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, has made great gains in recent years in pushing America down a path of Chinese-style communism. How so? He forces his far left ideology on the free market by insisting businesses within his fund abide by his ESG goals -- environmental, social, governance -- or face shunning. It's a sort of shadow government that's been operating under the radar of many in America, turning the U.S. capitalistic system into a tool of communism and Marxism. Larry Fink seems to think he's king of the world. But good news: Republicans are pushing back. And winning. Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Ressearch, has the inside scoop on how bad Blackrock is for America, how great it is for China, and now, under rising GOP backlash, how bad Fink's ESG designs are faring.   

America is seeing a huge shift in the evangelical vote, due largely to the fact fewer and fewer are going to church, and as a whole, the nation is becoming much more diverse in culture and heritage. You can thank Democrats for that second point; it's their loose border controls that have opened wide the doors for illegals to flow into the nation and that, combined with their attempts to register these illegals to vote, is resulting in some sudden and dramatic changes in trends. Democrats are actually picking up evangelical votes. And that leads to an important question: Why would any evangelical vote for today's evil Democrat Party? Faith and Freedom Coalition executive director Timothy Head weighs in on the evangelical vote for 2024; on Donald Trump; and on evangelicals voting Democrat.

Joe Biden is going to have a hard time running for -- never mind winning -- the White House in 2024, given a good portion of Democrats don't even want him as the candidate, according to several recent polls. So that opens the door for the question: Who else? Names are being whispered. Hillary Clinton. Gavin Newsom. Kamala Harris. Or some other Democrat politician yet to be given the go-ahead by party influencers and funders. But one name that has been tossed about for years is Michelle Obama. And just because she constantly says she doesn't want to run -- don't believe it. All politicians like to pretend they're the reluctant leaders. It's a ploy to make it seem as if they are just simple ol' Americans like me and you, and had they their druthers, they'd stay home on the farm. Joel Gilbert has been researching the Obamas for years and he says in his new book, "Michelle Obama 2024," that she's definitely going to announce a run for the presidency.

This list of Joe Biden's presidential failures is long. But his worst failure is also his bloodiest failure, and it's called Afghanistan Withdrawal. The fact that he won't accept responsibility for his failure -- or even acknowledge the mission as a failure -- is simply a slap in the face of all those who have suffered and continue to suffer from this national shame. If America is ever to regain the trust of the international community, Biden's White House must step forward and accept that it could've done much better with this operation. If Americans are to ever repay the Gold Star families for their sacrifices in Afghanistan, then Team Biden must release the truth, the whole truth, about the withdrawal. James Hasson, co-author of a new book that reveals the extent of Biden's botched mission, chats about that sad day.

Americans' trust in the once-mighty FBI -- as well as other intel and federal law enforcement agencies -- has fallen. And that's a good thing. Founding Fathers wouldn't have put blanket trust in the federal authorities, and neither should modern Americans. Besides, if anyone has been proven right over the years, time and time again, and time some more, it's been Donald Trump and his always-consistent, always-loud, always-critical call-out of the deep state as nefarious anti-American players. How right he was. And who would know better than Thomas Baker, former FBI special agent and author of the new, "The Fall of the FBI" -- who chats up the problems of this agency, as well as other federal entities, and then offers some solutions to gain best the trust of the American people.

If America was founded on the principle of God-given rights, why has government grown so large and burdensome? That's the question of the day -- and the answer is simple: Because those who know best what it means to have God-given rights -- the godly -- have been quiet for far too long,and have ceded the culture and politic to the far left. And it's the far left's vision for America to steamroll in big government, globalist government, boot-stomping government, and usher out individualism and individual liberties. Kelly John Walker, resident freedom fighter, discusses.  

There's a reason why Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond" is seeing such worldly success on the musical stage -- it's because he wrote a song that went to the heart and soul of what's ailing freedom-loving individuals. And the left can't stand it. But if you like this song, then you probably like it because you realize it speaks truth, and the truth is that individualism is being blotted out by an evil collectivism. First, they're coming for the culture. Then, they're coming for the politics. Then, they're coming for total regulatory controls on all human activities. Todd Starnes, radio, podcast and TV news host, offers a compelling look at what's taking place in today's culture that's driving this political divisiveness, and offers some hope for a distressed nation.

Democrats aren't exactly the most restrained members of the political class when it comes to attacking opponents. What happens is they get a couple wins under their belt -- or perceived wins -- and their arrogance and pride and greed take over, and they keep pushing for total obliteration. It's one thing to win at the ballot box by making a persuasive case of principles and platforms. It's another thing entirely to lie, cheat, deceive, fabricate, slander, libel and call out the thugs to utterly defeat and destroy a political candidate, the candidate's family and the candidate's career. This is where Democrats commit their great follies: by failing to read the tea leaves on average Americans. So it's with little surprise that the more the Dems attack Donald Trump, the higher his favorable poll numbers rise. Monica Crowley, happy warrior and former Trump administration official, and best-selling author and podcaster, weighs in with insights and analysis.

America's public schools used to be all about educating children to become fruitful members of society, because of patriotic love of country. Nowadays they're little more than breeding grounds for the I Hate America crowd. What's known is that the Democratic Socialists of America has recruited teachers for years now so as to send them into public schools to train the next generations in the Marxist way to go. But did you know the DSA has a youth organization as well? And that one of the ambitions of this youth organization is to go into the public schools and spread Marxism? It's downright frightening -- not to mention subversive. Liz Wheeler has a new book that's aptly titled, "Hide Your Children." Is this really what America has become? It's time to seriously consider whether the public schools are worth saving.
