JOAN SWIRSKY — I stopped counting the massive numbers of articles—both before and after the election of November 4, 2025—that predicted the complete devolution/collapse/implosion of New York City, a huge exodus of both Jews and Christians, as well as businesses and the Wall Street financial district, to friendlier climes in what was anticipated to be the full-fledged conversion of the Big Apple from capitalism to communism, from law-and-order to a runaway crime wave, and from historical diversity to full-bore anti-Semitism and the passionate embrace of Islamism and Sharia Law if Zohran Mamdani was elected Mayor....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Last week, an avowed socialist—communist, really—won the mayoral seat of America’s number one city, New York, the home of Wall Street and the largest Jewish population in the world outside Israel. Zohran Mamdani promised a lot of free stuff—although his supporters had to pay for their own drinks at his victory celebration.... (more)

TOWNHALL — The capital of American capitalism, a longtime beacon of prosperity, opportunity, and innovation, has just elected its first openly socialist mayor. He has pledged to punish the wealthy, crack down on landlords, freeze rents, open city-run grocery stores, make public transit free, and tackle the city's crime through “mental health services,” whatever that may entail. Mamdani will also be the city’s first Muslim mayor.... (more)

JOAN SWIRSKY — Going back 250 years, the enemies of America thought long and hard about how to destroy the fledgling experiment of a Democratic Republic that our Founding Fathers envisioned. It was (and continues to be) clear to our enemies that America’s strength is a function of three phenomena:... (more)

TOWNHALL — President Trump has posthumously awarded Turning Point USA Founder and legendary conservative activist Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, on Tuesday. The ceremony took place in the White House Rose Garden on what would have been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday. It was supposed to take place indoors due to bad weather, but the President told Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk, that "God was watching, and he didn't want that for Charlie." The White House saw nothing but sunshine for the ceremony.... (more)

YOUTUBE — Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power discusses comedian Bill Maher talking about the slaughter of Nigerian Christians. Ms. Power was joined by national director of Aid to the Church in Need Bernard Toutounji to discuss the atrocities. “Bill Maher has slammed the media for failing to report on the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria by Islamist groups,” Ms. Power said. “This is largely being ignored by the media. There are plenty of young people who are happy to go out and demonstrate against Israel … yet are silent about what’s happening in Nigeria.”... (more)

KATHLEEN MARQUARDT — Trump has shut down the Department of Education. Celebrate! It is great news. Reagan said he would do away with it, but didn’t. Now, some 40-plus years later, the closing of this federal agency is finally being addressed. But this outcome does nothing to change our schools, especially now that they are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create curricula, and since our schools were taken over decades ago by cultural Marxism, which the schools are still teaching....

YOUTUBE — Should we homeschool our kids? There are plenty of reasons for parents to say no: They don’t have the time; their kids won’t be properly “socialized”; it’s financially unworkable. But are these reasons legitimate? Sam Sorbo used to think so. Then she took the plunge.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — One category of serial killers is "family annihilators." These are deranged killers who wipe out their families for various reasons. An example is the former bodyguard for prominent televangelist Joyce Meyer, who murdered his wife and two sons. The family annihilator, Chris Coleman, was trying to cover-up an adulterous affair. He was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder and is serving three consecutive life sentences.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Thanksgiving is around the corner. That holiday is an annual reminder of our nation’s Christian roots, our godly heritage. Although Virginia rightfully proclaims that the first Thanksgiving was in Jamestown in 1619, not in Plymouth in 1621, the Plymouth Thanksgiving became the prototype of our annual celebrations....

YOUTUBE — Does science prove the existence of the soul? Here award-winning neurosurgeon Michael Egnor explores the evidence. Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. That we are not spiritual in any respect. They believe we are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.... (more)

TOWNHALL — They’re going to stop inviting Batya Ungar-Sargon onto CNN for numerous reasons, though the most likely one is that, like Scott Jennings, she wrecks Democratic Party narratives (emphasis added). It’s not a simple smackdown—it’s the Bride in Kill Bill-like carnage. The kicker is that Batya isn’t even a conservative; she’s a lefty Trump supporter. We’ll get back to that in a second, but her take on the ‘No Kings’ protests last weekend was spot-on. It left bunker buster-level damage to the liberal narrative.... (more)
