The fight against the Iranian axis is not just Israel’s, but America’s, too. Iran and its terrorist proxies have killed thousands of Americans over the years and still actively plot to do so today. The only to stop these attacks and the threats is to inflict real pain on Iran.

If there is a bright spot here, polling has long shown that American consumers trust local media more than the national press. “In 2021, Americans were 17 points more likely to say they trust reporting by local news organizations ‘a great deal’ or ‘quite a lot’ than to trust reporting by national news organizations,” notes a survey done by Gallup and the Knight Foundation.

I am not going to write about naked bodies and the image that phrase seems to conjure up to people. The focus of this column, the nakedness I am writing about? Your future. The naked, unvarnished truth straight out of the Bible, about your eternity.

The National Border Patrol Council, the union representing roughly 16,000 Border Patrol agents nationwide, endorsed former President Donald Trump for president while criticizing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. On Monday, the union issued a statement, saying, “On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.”

Congressman Don Bacon, a retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General, believes that the United States has become highly vulnerable to a nuclear first strike by Russia or China.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments about owning a “Glock” are proving to be, more than just a short-lived embarrassment, a microcosm of the problem plaguing her candidacy. Like other failed campaigns before, Harris’ camp seems to believe the public can be hoodwinked with prepared lines and ads and images that are at odds with the candidate’s record and identity.

What we don’t know is if Harris is saying the things she is saying today just to get elected and if she will follow through with them if elected. As vice president, she seems to have ignored the office and the mandates President Biden has given her.

The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI are downplaying the threat to former President Donald Trump posed by a man arrested outside a California rally Saturday night – despite assertions made by a local sheriff that his detention likely thwarted a third assassination attempt.

Many Americans are not aware that citizens of the United States are still suffering as hostages in Gaza. This may be due to the fact that the Biden-Harris administration has hardly mentioned them. 

I sat on the front porch, rocking in my chair, listening to the wind chimes and the occasionally falling walnut, pawpaw and buckeye. My mind slipped back to a time, worlds away, when the sounds were so different, and we were pinball wizards, and we were young.

Whether it’s floods or hurricanes, the pain of losing everything is universal, but so is the resilience of the American spirit.

To sway these crucial undecided voters, Trump must prove he can govern effectively without distraction while Harris needs to rebuild trust with voters who have considerable doubts.

Vacuity, thy name is Kamala Harris. Her objective seems to be one of the cool kids, not offer the voters anything of substance to ponder.

Since April, President Biden’s public assurances – stating that the United States would not join Israel in a military response to the initial Iranian aerial attacks, and more recently his statements that he would not support an Israeli counterattack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure – mark a critical departure from the core principles of deterrence. 

The U.S. government’s primary responsibility is to safeguard its citizens. Yet, under the Biden-Harris administration, America has found itself less secure. From the largest attack on a European nation in 85 years to the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, our enemies are emboldened while our allies question America’s resolve.
