PJ MEDIA — When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he was fond of saying that he wanted to "fundamentally transform America." He wasn't always upfront about the specifics, but when we read between the lines, we knew what he was talking about. Steeped in Chicago radicalism, Obama wanted to push America hard toward socialism.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — A pitched battle has erupted in California over the decision by one city to take an easement away from the Lions Club and remove a Christian cross the organization had illuminated at holidays for years. The situation has been profiled by CBN, which noted the effort to restore the cross continues. The cross has been on the site since several owners sold the city 1.1 acres of land in the 1970s, but the Lions retained an easement for the cross, the report said.... (more)

Teachers are taught to 'teach political propaganda as opposed to academic subjects'
BRUCE DEITRICK PRICE — Around 1990, journalist/author Rita Kramer (1929-2023) toured the country to study premier schools of education. She was already an expert on our K-12 schools, having published a highly praised book about Maria Montessori and having reported for years on education. Now Kramer sensed that something new and dangerous was growing in the shadows of America: a tendency toward promoting Socialism. She wanted to know why. Her journey resulted in an excellent book, Ed School Follies, in 1991.... (more)

The greatest moral issue of our time
CLIFF KINCAID — President Trump’s “states' rights” approach to abortion is the same recipe for disaster that brought us the Civil War. The nation must be free, and that applies to human beings from the moment of conception. His new position solves nothing, and makes his attempt to get back into the White House much harder.... (more)

A man sustained by his faith
WORLDNETDAILY — Imagine making a documentary about one of the 20th century's leading opponents of the Ku Klux Klan – without ever talking about the evil of the KKK itself. If that sounds like malpractice, consider PBS's new documentary on the life of William F. Buckley Jr. "The Incomparable Mr. Buckley," the latest installment in the "American Masters" series, has much to say about anti-communism but never reckons with the murderous reality of communism itself....

GREG LAURIE — The Resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. It changed a group of disillusioned, discouraged, downhearted disciples into a group of on-fire, passionate preachers who turned their world upside down. The Resurrection can change your life as well. And it can bring something that we all need in this world, something that seems to be in short supply: hope. Do you have hope today? What is your hope in?... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the cornerstone of historic Christianity. But is there scientific evidence it really happened? Some scholars believe that yes, there is and it’s in a cathedral in Turin, Italy. The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth 14 feet by 3 feet, contains the image of a man who was badly scourged, was crucified, wore a crown of thorns, and was stabbed in the chest with a Roman lance. Of course, all of these wounds fit what the Bible says happened to Jesus. Is the Shroud of Turin Jesus’ actual “clean linen shroud” given to Him in death by Joseph of Arimathea?... (more)

PETE RIEHM — Most Americans were surprised to learn there is such a thing as the “International Transgender Day of Visibility” mostly because it fell on Easter Sunday this year. Americans were then shocked when the White House proclamation celebrating the “International Transgender Day of Visibility” seemed to take precedence and even eclipsed any acknowledgement of the resurrection of Christ. Poor timing to be sure, but the White House doubled down with a religious themed tweet praising transgenderism on Easter Sunday. It was an in-your-face move.... (more)

PJ MEDIA — How would you respond if you were asked: what is the single most important fact in all of human history?
Rome fell? Roland died so Charlemagne could defeat the Saracens? The printing press? The U.S. Constitution? America beat the Nazis to the atomic bomb? Those and many more facts have each arguably changed the course of history and could thus be cited with equal assurance of their relevance. However, there is one fact that not only fundamentally altered human history, but defined reality for every person who ever has lived or ever will live: That fact is the empty tomb of Jesus Christ. Why the empty tomb? Because on Easter morning and for 40 days thereafter, Jesus was seen, touched, heard, and spoken to by His disciples, then other individuals in and around Jerusalem, and ultimately more than 500 individuals. The tomb was empty because Jesus was literally resurrected from the dead, thus validating everything He claimed about Himself, including "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6).... (more)![]() March 31, 2024
NEW YORK POST — Critics ripped President Biden Saturday for proclaiming March 31 — Easter Sunday this year – Transgender Day of Visibility. “I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House announced Friday. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination against all transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary people.”...

STEPHEN STONE — This Easter, we would do well to consider the remarkable words of Acts 10:38, which sum up the key to Jesus’ ministry in a way all of us can emulate as we seek to strengthen our country. That brief passage says simply, but emphatically, that "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Despite the fact that Jesus possessed divine power as the Son of God, He nonetheless submitted His will to that of His Father, as He made clear in John 6:38: “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” In doing so, He showed us the way to do the same kind of miracles, and exert the same kind of righteous influence, that He Himself demonstrated by His godly life....

WESTERN JOURNAL — A rogue cop is quick to make the news, causing pundits to opine for hours, making generalizations about the entire force. But, this rarely happens when hero cops save lives and families — although such events happen every day. The brave officers of police departments around our country put their lives on the line every day to save others, and it’s important to highlight their sacrificial work, without which the country would be paralyzed....

THE FEDERALIST — On the four-year anniversary of Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home orders, state Attorney General Todd Rokita gathered with Hoosiers who had fought the mandates and told them something most of them knew already: Indiana’s Covid-19 data was wrong. The stats that Holcomb and his state health commissioner Kris Box used to justify the lockdowns inflated death counts and positivity rates, Rokita told his audience. Bad data like those led to bad decisions.... (more)

ABC's Jonathan Karl: 'Look what happened to the last guy'
WORLDNETDAILY — ABC News host Jonathan Karl pressed Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sunday on why he said it would be an "honor" to serve as presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's vice president, bluntly asking, "really?" "There was some reporting this week, that you are possibly under consideration to be Donald Trump’s running mate. I don’t put a lot of stock in this reporting right now, we’re early, but you said it would be an honor to be offered a spot on this ticket. Really?" Karl asked.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — The CIA blocked federal investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris during a five-year probe into the first son’s alleged tax crimes, a whistleblower has told House impeachment leaders. House Oversight and Judiciary Committee chairmen say the whistleblower informed them the intelligence agency stopped IRS and Justice Department investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, a Hollywood lawyer and patron of the first son, according to a Thursday letter addressed to CIA Director William Burns....

A facility where unborn babies are systematically killed
JERRY NEWCOMBE — For more than 50 years, the left has promoted abortion in America. But last week we saw something new in this battle. For the first time ever, a vice president actually visited a facility where unborn babies are systematically killed when Kamala Harris toured a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. She called laws restricting abortion in other states “immoral.” She also said that abortion and religious commitment were compatible, not incompatible: "One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling women what to do with their body."...

NEW YORK POST — There is good reason to conclude, as the state Court of Appeals did Tuesday, that New York City’s property-tax system leads to disproportionately high tax bills for minority homeowners. But those high taxes aren’t the result of discrimination; they’re just one example of a dysfunctional tax-assessment system that burdens homeowners and discourages new housing construction — which both progressive city Comptroller Brad Lander and Republican City Councilman Joe Borelli, strange bedfellows indeed, agree needs top-to-bottom revision....

'Fabulist': having 'an imagination unfettered by the laws of logic and probability' (Oxford Dictionary)
DEBRA HEINE — Hunter Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski went scorched earth on Joe Biden, his son Hunter, his brother Jim, the regime media and House Democrats during the Republican-led House Oversight Committee’s impeachment hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday. In his brutally frank opening statement, Bobulinski also accused Hunter and Jim Biden of telling “flat-out lies” when they were interviewed by the Committee last month, and urged Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) to hold them accountable for their perjury....
