    Missiles and mines and more war, oh my

    Joe Biden's administration has sent America hurtling down a path of war, with the latest reversals of policy allowing U.S. long-range missiles to be sent to Ukraine for use in Russia. But blink, and Biden's reversed another long-standing policy, i.e., he's also OK-ing America to send anti-personnel mines to Ukraine for use against Russia, as well. Thing is, Ukraine has signed a global treaty committing itself to never using the anti-personnel mines. The mess Biden is leaving Donald Trump is just getting uglier. No wonder America's allies can't wait for him to exit, stage left, the White House. Foreign policy expert Shea Bradley-Farrell discusses how Trump can speedily end the Ukraine-Russia war, just like he promised on the campaign trail.

    Christians, no time to sleep!

    The elections may have gone the right way. America may be poised to see saner times. Americans may be on the cusp of regaining a better economy, a safer community, a more peaceful atmosphere. But that doesn't mean Christians should sit back and rest easy now and let the politicians do as they will. The exceptionalism of America is that individuals are endowed by their Creator with certain rights -- life, liberty, pursuit of happiness -- and that governments are supposed to be filled with humble servants who simply protect those individual rights and liberties. That requires an active, informed citizenry -- and to keep the "God-given" in place, it requires godly, moral citizens to stay active in government. Christians, an awakening is still needed in this nation. Just because the elections have ended doesn't mean an end to Christians involving themselves in politics and culture. Pastor Jack Graham speaks on the elections and what's in store for America, and why Christians need to stay alert and active in the culture.

    Trump will make America prosperous again

Financial expert David Bahnsen weighs in on what we can expect in the next four years.

    The solution to socialism is a return to morality

    If we want America to stay free for decades to come, it's not the political world that matters most, but rather the spiritual world. Founders warned that America's government would only stay limited in scope and the nation's liberties would only remain intact so long as the citizens were moral and virtuous. And taking morals and virtues from one's own heart and mind is a recipe for disaster -- as we've seen in this growing secular, growing Big Government society. The solution to socialism is to elect those who serve with humble hearts, fully aware that America is a nation of individualists who take their marching orders from God, not government. Carter Wrenn, longtime political strategist for the GOP, speaks about the roots of liberty and the direction Americans need to walk to preserve freedom.

    Jack Smith, buh-bye! MAGA enters safe zone

    Donald Trump's win of the White House means his politically driven, politically motivated prosecutions, led in large part by bureaucrat Jack Smith, go up in smoke and disappear. And that's not just good news for Trump. That's good news for all Americans who've watched with rising alarm the absolute detestable way our justice and intel systems have been weaponized by Democrats against their political opponents. Don Brown, author of "Kangaroo Court," describes a time of utter tyranny in America that's now thankfully coming to an end.

    Abortion even more evil than you know

    Everybody by now knows that Planned Parenthood has engaged in some pretty horrific acts, even more horrific than aborting babies. Can you say harvesting body parts? But wait, it gets even worse. Seth Gruber has taken a deep dive look into the beginning days of Planned Parenthood, the statements and actions of Margaret Sanger, who started the organization, and at the links -- the oh so many links -- of Sanger and PP with some very wicked, evil, despicable organizations, individuals and movements. And after reading his book and watching his movie, what's clear is this: The depths of evil of the abortion industry is truly demonic.

    Let the spiritual awakening dawn

    America needs a great awakening -- a spiritual revival to right the course away from God and back to godly governance. Some church leaders even say we're in the midst of a great awakening. Are we? That may be a point to debate, but what's irrefutable is that the Founders warned us that the Republic they gave us would only last so long as the people of the nation were moral and virtuous -- and that where secularism grows, so, too, tyranny. This is the dark path America has been walking for some time. Gina Gleason with Real Impact and Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California, has been fighting to get churches more involved in politics and culture for years and she says she's seeing a lot of quiet Christians become louder and more involved in recent times. This is good news for America.

    A better way to stop abortions

    America sees hundreds of thousands of abortions performed each year, and this is a tragedy. And some of those women, no doubt, would not want to have their abortions if only the men in their lives stepped up and made the right remarks at the right time and in the right tone -- in other words, if the men in their lives vowed to be there for them throughout the life of the child. But as Roland Warren says, men have been told for too long now that a woman's right to choose an abortion is none of their business. So the sad and sorry situation has become: abortion is a woman's issue. But truly, it's not. It's actually a religious issue and a matter for the church and a matter for the family. If we want fewer abortions, we need to press forward the idea that women are not alone in their decisions on whether or not to birth their children. And men need to do better jobs of stepping up and assuming their responsibilities.
