Ethnic narcissism has infiltrated modern church culture, and it’s much more insidious than those who embody or celebrate it seem to understand. “I think we can celebrate our differences, but when you’re talking amongst the brethren, we don’t need to ignore our ethnic differences, but we also don’t need to elevate them to a level…

Pedro Pascal has a Rachel Zegler problem, and he doesn’t even know it. The ubiquitous actor (he’s in four movies and a TV show this year alone) is set to play Reed Richards in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” on July 25. The Marvel Comics supergroup previously hit theaters in several lackluster films, most recently…

A Republican senator drew President Donald Trump’s ire by voting against the motion to proceed on the One Big Beautiful Bill late Saturday night, prompting the president to vow to back a primary challenger to unseat him. On Saturday night, Trump rebuked North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on Truth Social. ‘Numerous people have come…

Social media often serves as a cultural barometer, providing useful insight into cultural trends and their shifts. Consider a song parody video that recently went viral. “California Freedom” is an AI-generated satirical reimagining of the 1960s classic “California Dreamin’” by the Mamas and the Papas. Remember that one? The original song painted California as a…

Between his draconian COVID-19 lockdown measures and his progressive policies on transgenderism, abortion, and immigration, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is as deplorable as they come. On top of his insidious progressivism, however, there’s something else that makes him one of the slimiest politicians in the country, something few are aware of: He’s got deep…

In 1535, Saint Thomas More went to his death, not in defiance of his king but in ultimate service to both God and England. His final words — “I die the king’s faithful servant, and God’s first” — captured the essence of true religious liberty: the freedom to fulfill the duty to worship God rightly….

President Donald Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill passed a major procedural milestone at 11:07 p.m. Saturday night, when the U.S. Senate voted 51-49 to invoke cloture. Cloture is an essential step in the upper legislative chamber, limiting the remaining time members have to debate and starting the countdown to when they can vote on passage. The…

The left’s new favorite boogeyman — so-called “Christian nationalism” — is back in the headlines. But don’t be fooled by the narrative. The real story isn’t about Christian extremism but an obsession with tarring faithful conservative Christians. After police arrested Vance Boelter — the man accused of targeting two Minnesota politicians and their spouses, which…

For anyone who read my commentary last week, it should be no surprise that I am overjoyed that state Rep. Zohran Mamdani trounced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary on Tuesday. Cuomo is a repulsive creep who, as governor, killed thousands of elderly New Yorkers by filling nursing homes…

Naomi Epps Best is a married Christian mother and graduate student in marriage and family therapy at Santa Clara University. Like anyone who enters the counseling profession, she wants to help people thrive. Sadly, in today’s world, helping people thrive is often synonymous with affirming their delusions. On a recent episode of “Relatable,” Naomi sat…

What do Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Bill Maher, and Ricky Gervais have in common? If you’re the sort of person who reads HuffPost, sips oat milk lattes, and thinks everything wrong with the world boils down to white men with opinions, you probably already have your answer: privileged patriarchal monsters. Atheism, in its purest form,…

Does the church replace Israel? Did I ignore the Jews? Does the formation of Israel in 1948 fulfill Old Testament promises? These were a few of the questions and critiques sparked by an essay I wrote last week, “How Tucker Carlson vs. Ted Cruz exposed a critical biblical question on Israel.” After providing a cursory…

Hollywood liberals love nothing more than embracing the “20” side of 80/20 debates. The latest example? They’re rallying on behalf of illegal immigrants, some of whom have terrible, awful, no-good rap sheets. German fans paid exorbitant fees to hear the Boss rant about the Trump administration. … He wisely opted against playing the Nazi card…

A Tennessee teen is accused of a series of bizarre crimes, including assaulting a man, stuffing a plunger in his mouth, and pouring bleach on him. But that allegedly was just for starters. WCNC-TV reported that the Sevierville Police Department received a call around 8:45 a.m. Sunday regarding concerns about 19-year-old Charles Dakota Coffman. WATE-TV…

Freedom of expression, universal suffrage, and separation of church and state. Our country prides itself on these foundational principles. In fact, for many Americans, the document enshrining these principles has become an object of almost religious veneration. The Constitution is no mere legal agreement, but a sacred covenant between people and power, a reminder that…

On June 25, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, was indicted on 12 federal hate crime counts. He also faces state charges, including attempted murder, with a trial pending that could result in significant prison time if convicted. “He’s an…

Democrats and elements of the liberal media have suggested ad nauseam that President Donald Trump, his supporters, and like-minded Republicans constitute threats to democracy. After a Biden official’s group got Trump temporarily removed in 2023 from the presidential primary ballot in Colorado, former President Joe Biden tweeted, “Trump poses many threats to our country: The…

The “C” grade FedEx founder Fred Smith received from a Yale professor on a paper outlining his vision for an overnight delivery service is much less remarkable than is often assumed. Naturally, Smith got a C. Rest assured that most investors gave him an F, assuming they bothered to hear Smith’s pitch in the first…

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protective Status for approximately 500,000 foreign nationals as part of the Trump administration’s effort to clamp down on the immigration crisis. Under former President Joe Biden, the federal government vastly expanded so-called lawful pathways to entry, enabling millions of immigrants to come to…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dominating headlines ever since their highly publicized departure from the royal family. And while much of their actions depict a couple who have cast themselves as the victims in their story — the public doesn’t seem to be buying it. In fact, they appear to despise Prince Harry’s…

A couple I know well has a Millennial daughter. I’ll call her “Marsha.” For years, she claimed to suffer from a severe case of self-diagnosed gluten intolerance. That fad eventually passed, though Celiac disease is real, and it appears to be on the rise. Nevertheless, Marsha recovered and went back to eating pasta and bread…

On May 26, 2023, pro-life advocates Mark Crosby, then 73 years old, and Dick Schaefer, then 84 years old, were praying, holding pro-life signs, and offering pro-life materials to people entering a Baltimore Planned Parenthood, Catholic Review said. Outside the abortion facility, a male by the name of Patrick Brice reportedly was arguing with Schaefer…

The same Democrats who crushed American freedoms with tyrannical COVID lockdowns are now latching on to the “dictator” narrative against President Donald Trump as they fight to shield illegal aliens, including those who committed additional crimes in the U.S., from the administration’s immigration enforcement measures. On June 14, No Kings held thousands of protests nationwide,…

It’s quasi consumer fraud on a global scale. The Environmental Protection Agency’s electric vehicle mileage ratings are misleading millions, inflating EV efficiency and hiding the true energy cost of driving green. And it all comes down to one little number. The EPA’s MPGe calculation violates basic physics, specifically the second law of thermodynamics, which states…

On September 11, 2001, nearly 2,500 Americans were killed when two planes hijacked by Muslim terrorists struck New York City’s Twin Towers. It’s been less than 24 years, and now that same city has elected Zohran Mamdani — a “communist,” “Muslim radical,” and “jihadist apologist” — as its Democratic mayoral candidate. Mamdani is a 33-year-old…

Donald Trump had publicly toyed with the idea of running for president many times before 2015. In fact, he even entered the Reform Party’s presidential primaries for the 2000 election. But the timing was never quite right — until it finally was. Of the many actions and twists of fate that created the opening for…
