ALAN KEYES — During the past week or so, President Trump repeatedly set himself at odds with candidate Trump, frankly acknowledging that his campaign rhetoric was out of touch with reality. In every instance, the reversal brought him more into line with the Democrat/RINO left-leaning political culture he made a "huge" show of adamantly opposing during his run for the presidency....

A special report from the Accuracy in Media Center for Investigative Journalism

CLIFF KINCAID — The British Guardian posted a report on April 13 claiming that its sources now admit that the British spy agency GCHQ was digitally wiretapping Trump associates, going back to late 2015.

CHERYL CHUMLEY — Atheists and progressives will tell you America is a secular nation, built on secular principles, and that it's the job of the rising generations to make sure politics and religion never do meet. They're wrong. They say that because they don't want to submit to a higher authority. But just because the Founding Fathers didn't want the government to establish a church -- didn't want the country to become guided by the same type of zealotry that steers nations of Islam, for instance -- doesn't mean they wanted God separated from governance....

CLIFF KINCAID — The Epoch Times newspaper is currently running an editorial series called "The Dead End of Communism" that includes a detailed discussion of the diabolical, even Satanic, roots of Karl Marx, the father of communism. Looking at his writings in detail, the authors document how his goal was "to enact a sort of vengeance against heaven." Contrary to his "progressive" profile, Marx hated humanity and life on earth. His appeal was that he promised a heaven on earth. But it turned out to be hell for those living under it.... (more)

He excoriates parasitic foreigners that (I paraphrase) suck dry our precious bodily fluids -- and these are allies! On April 4, Trump declared: "I don't want to be the president of the world. I'm the president of the United States. And from now on, it's going to be America First."... (more)

Assad violated previous agreements, said Trump, and the United States had a security interest "to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons."... (more)
