Bold and Blunt

Satan is alive, active and on a campaign to deliver fake news wherever, whenever and to whomever he can -- and it's incumbent on Christians to call out sin and not allow it to fester and grow. First is recognizing sin, though. And in today's atmosphere, where sin is not only tolerated, but actually cheered, delivering truth to those who need it is a radical act. Pastor, author and radio host Jeff Schreve discusses his new "The Devil's Newsroom," and ways to counter Satan's lies.

It's bad enough Democrats spent time, tax dollars and too much time and tax dollars investigating Donald Trump for faked, drummed-up and fabricated charges and accusations during his first presidency. But again? Once more, Democrats are trying to completely dismantle all-things-MAGA and prevent President Trump from enacting the very agenda for which he was elected to enact. But nowadays, Democrats have a new weapon. They call it the courts. Alex Swoyer, an attorney who covers legal matters for The Washington Times, has a new book, "Lawless Lawfare," and she discusses the attacks on Team Trump, as well as the recent resurrection of Obergefell v. Hodges and whether same-sex unions will once again become matters for states and voters to decide.

For years, Americans heard nothing but "Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Russia collusion," and in between, a little bit about pee tapes and prostitutes. Those who suspected the accusations against President Donald Trump were politically motivated were immediately treated by Democrats, by intelligence agencies, by the Barack Obama administration and by most in the mainstream media as little more than conspiracy theorists. But time marches on and the administration changes and the more documents are dumped by National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, the more it's evident: Barack Obama oversaw what can only be described as a "coup" against Team Trump. National security expert and best-selling author John Mills tells how all roads of this Gabbard-fueled investigation lead to Obama -- and what that means for the former president, as well as for America.

One of America's growing problems is the openness of antisemites to bring their evil message to the public square. It's bad enough there are antisemites in the nation. But the fact they have been so open with their antisemitism on college campuses in recent months points to a bigger concern: where is this headed? If the antisemitism isn't nipped in the bud and countered with truth, then it won't be long before America turns against its greatest friend in the Middle East -- Israel. Pete Peterson, dean of public policy at Pepperdine University, talks about a new college-level course that teaches the next generation of leaders how to advance foreign affairs that doesn't harm Israel and harm America, and that is based on biblically sound truths.

The new trend in Second Amendment issues is that women are buying up guns in record numbers, even more so than men in some cases. And so, too, are minorities seeing a surge. What's going on? Even Democrats are buying guns — and this is odd, given a) Democrats traditionally hate private gun ownership and b) Democrats are the ones creating the conditions that require individuals to purchase guns in the first place. Who feels safe in communities controlled by leftists, right? Josh Savani, with the NRA, has the latest facts and data about Second Amendment freedoms in America — one of the core keys that keep intact the concept of God-given rights and liberties.

Too many socialists are coming out of the closet to run for positions of political leadership within the Democrat Party. And it's high time to push them all back into the closet. Socialists don't belong in American politics. Everything they stand for is counter to the Constitution. And the reason we're seeing so many these days is that Americans have turned from their faith and forgotten God. Judge Phil Ginn speaks of the intersection of faith and freedom.

Too many people see Jesus as a good man, a nice man, a charitable and kind man -- but nothing more. Even many Christians fail to have a proper relationship with Jesus, seeing Him as someone to worship during Sunday services, only to forget about Monday through Saturday. A personal relationship with Jesus is a must, however. It's impossible to live a life of fullness -- it's impossible to live out life in a manner that's planned by God -- without a one-on-one walk with Jesus. Be a Jesus freak, says Nina May, co-producer of the based-on-true movie "Jesus Freaks." You won't regret the life that comes.

President Trump has just won passage of his signature piece of legislation. But what does that mean for America, the economy and the next few years? Financial experts, at least some, suggest the United States is now on a path of prosperity once again. Democrats, predictably perhaps, are moaning and groaning. Whom to believe? Which political party to trust? Tim Head, president and CEO of Unify.US, weighs in with a layman's look at the good, the bad, the ugly of the OBBB.

Israel's attacks on Iran and America's assaults on the nation's nuclear sites have split many of the Christians and conservatives in this country. Tucker Carlson vs. Sen. Ted Cruz, is one example. Candace Owens and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are a couple other examples. So where do you stand on America's missile strikes? On America's support of Israel? Where do you stand on Bible prophecy as it's being played in the Middle East? Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills talks politics and prophecy and the response from many in the press and helps make sense of what's Bible truth — and what's false doctrine.

If you had to name a time in America where the morality of the nation took a nose dive, it'd be the 1960s that comes to mind. And that's quite fact-based, said Tim Goeglein, with Focus on the Family, whose latest book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia," traces a massive cultural shift to that decade, and then also to the Barack Obama years. If we want an America that's free, then we need Americans to be moral. It's only a moral people who are capable of self-governance, after all.
