NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Tony Dungy recently came out and stated that part of the reason he was fired by NBC is because of his outspokenness about the Christian faith that he holds near and dear to his heart. In a preview for an interview with sports journalist and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele, Dungy explained that he “kinda knew” the network wouldn’t bring him back for another season as an analyst on “Sunday Night Football” due in part to his Christian values. “There were things that they didn’t want me to talk about,” Dungy went…

Television producer Chuck Lorre used one of his own CBS programs to strike back after the Trump White House leveled a brutal response to his profanity-laced attack on the president. The 73-year-old sitcom creator turned the closing credits of “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” into a vehicle for his latest political message. His sarcastic statement followed an awards-show speech in which he insulted President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and members of the administration. The White House answered by suggesting Lorre seek psychiatric help for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The dispute began at Project Angel Food’s Angel Awards in Los…

Country singer Maren Morris unloaded on President Donald Trump and the Americans who elected him, calling the president a “dementia-ridden, diaper-clad, cornball” while declaring that his voters would receive no forgiveness from her.

In a shocking announcement that will no doubt make steam blow out of liberal ears across Michigan, state Rep. Noah Arbit said he will not be throwing his support behind Abdul El-Sayed, the current Democratic Party nominee for a U.S. Senate race in the Great Lakes State. Arbit, 31, confirmed that he would not be endorsing El-Sayed during an interview with a publication called “Jewish Insider” that was published on September 30, 2026.

Many of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s supporters are highly displeased with him for attending an Israelis for Peace vigil marking the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks that left over a thousand in Israel dead. Pro-Palestinian protesters displayed their displeasure by calling him a “traitor.” Over a hundred demonstrators conducted a march from City Hall to Union Square, where the vigil was being held to mourn those who lost their lives in the heinous attack and inhumane bloodshed that followed it. Mamdani attended the event and held a candle as protesters showed up and…
Everyday life in your typical major American blue city appears to be only getting worse, despite an orchestrated dominant media narrative declaring otherwise. An ongoing crime wave that can be directly attributed to massive unchecked immigration and deliberate “progressive” efforts to reduce police staffing and reduce prison sentences in the name of “criminal justice reform” is still very much a daily feature of life in Democrat-controlled urban locales.“More than half of residents feel unsafe in downtown Boston and are asking for the city to deploy more police to the area on a regular basis to counteract crime, according to a…

We are at war. I do not mean the usual bickering over real estate in the Middle East or the by-now predictable battle over oil and the Strait of Hormuz. That war is easy enough to spot. No, this war is insidious and malignant, and it touches on every one of us. It is quite simply, us versus them. If we want to unite the disparate forces of humanity, to end the gender wars, to have Christians, Jews, and Muslims put down their arms, and to have the Hindus and Pakistanis join in tearful embrace, we must first acknowledge the…
It would have been hard to improve the backdrop for Marco Rubio’s foreign policy address on October 7 in Athens, Greece. Standing on the Pnyx with the ruins of the Parthenon rising up behind him, the Secretary of State delivered a speech that won almost universal plaudits. Let me toss my vote in with the overwhelming majority and affirm that Rubio’s speech was simply splendid: robust, heartfelt, honest, masculine, and true. Is it still permissible to praise such a public performance for being “masculine”? It was part of Rubio’s accomplishment to render that question moot. His speech was statesmanlike but…
The American left always congratulates itself as “First Amendment advocates,” even as they campaign to shut conservatives up. The foundation of Harper’s magazine announced they are giving their 2026 “First Amendment Award” to NPR CEO Katherine Maher. She runs a network that won’t give conservatives a right to speak on their formerly taxpayer-funded airwaves.

Goodale, the former New York Times general counsel who helped secure the Pentagon Papers victory before the Supreme Court, the award recognizes visible and consequential…

President Trump said he approved Nidal Hasan’s firing-squad execution but was not involved in the livestream plan meant to make an example of the Fort Hood murderer.Speaking Friday in Syracuse during a campaign stop, Trump told local outlet CNY Central he backed the death sentence itself while distancing himself from any broadcast decision.

Arizonans have a chance on Nov. 3 to strengthen Arizona’s state law preventing biological males from competing in female sports.Currently Arizona is one of 27 states with a law that stops transgender athletes from playing in female sports. Proposition 318 would expand the requirement for athletic associations sponsoring interscholastic or intramural sports to classify teams by biological sex. Current state law only requires public and private schools to do this. The proposition would also prevent schools and athletic associations from letting biological males use female athletes’ locker rooms, bathrooms or other private spaces “integral to athletic engagement.” Proposition 318 would…
The Democratic Party’s candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, James Talarico, has a record that looks very different from the outward-facing moderation he now shows voters, with less than one month to go before November’s midterm elections. The model is not atypical. Candidates on both sides of the aisle often espouse views further to the left and right fringes during primaries before moderating as the general election nears, attempting to appeal more to center-left, center-right voters or independent voters who may cross over and vote for them. Talarico’s radical — and changing — stances on sex, minors and LGBTQ issues In…
Fourteen Democratic states have joined in filing a federal complaint that attempts to recoup over $100 million in federal grants included in a Biden-era COVID-19 relief package that the Trump administration canceled last year.The complaint was filed Friday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and argues the Trump Labor Department committed a breach of contract in canceling the grants – intended to modernize “outdated” IT systems in state unemployment systems. The bill led to $780 million being awarded to states to modernize such systems. Roughly $45 million in grants were terminated, following the Labor Department decision that was announced…
Movie producer Kari Hollend didn’t immediately notice what she now calls a coordinated effort to demonize Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.But Warren Kinsella did. “He understood very quickly on October 8,” Hollend says of Kinsella, a political strategist and cultural observer. “’I [now] know what a campaign looks like.

Famed Harvard University Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he believes ex-prosecutor Jack Smith trampled civil liberties during his pursuit of President Donald Trump by tracking the calls of Congress, defense lawyers and campaign aides, and he urged the Justice Department to impose new rules to rein in such phone surveillance.“What we need are Justice Department rules that are enforceable, that indicate when you can do what investigative tasks,” Dershowitz told Just the News. “You can’t leave it only up to the Constitution and the courts because something can be constitutional and still very very dangerous for civil liberties,…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Newspaper endorsements don’t carry all of the weight that they used to, but when a newspaper endorses a Republican candidate, people take notice because it doesn’t happen very often. The media is the media and they are overwhelmingly liberal. It is in that spirit that people are noticing the fact that the ‘Duluth News Tribune’ has endorsed Republican Michele Tafoya for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Didn’t have this Duluth News Tribune endorsement on my bingo card… or their criticism of Flanagan. What’s weird is every DFL candidate they did endorse also shares the same record as…

A DAR chapter in Texas recently sent a letter to its national leadership pushing back against their decision to allow biological men who…
