NEWSMAX — America’s happiest people value community and close personal relationships as well as a belief in God. They are also generally older.

NEWSMAX — It will be "impossible" for the Department of Justice to "cherry pick" Hunter Biden out alone for an indictment without doing anything about at least eight other members of President Joe Biden's family. Plus, the money they got influenced "six specific decisions" Biden made either while vice president or president, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Sunday.... (more)

MARGOT CLEVELAND — Did Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in California and Washington, D.C., block the filing of criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden? Accusations levied by an IRS whistleblower on Wednesday suggest the federal prosecutors did just that, contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland’s recent congressional testimony and raising an avalanche of questions concerning the independence of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation. Given the severity of the claims, the U.S. attorney should speak up immediately.... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — On the evening of Tuesday, April 25, we'll witness the miracle: Israel surviving three-quarters of a century of hostility. We've seen God's miraculous provision all along, beginning with the miracle of Israel's rebirth 75 years ago. We've seen God's love for His Chosen People even in a sea of hatefulness, with Israel surrounded by belligerent neighbor-nations. No opposition, no assault, no matter how intense, has destroyed the state of Israel. Against all odds, this tiny nation still stands as a beacon of freedom and righteousness, an ongoing testament to the power of God and the absolute truth of His latter-days promises!... (more)

NEW YORK POST — It is said that history turns on small hinges, with the poem “For Want of a Nail” the classic example. Another example is unfolding before our eyes. The sudden flurry of evidence and allegations about the Biden family’s money-making schemes is a direct result of the GOP winning control of the House of Representatives last year.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — The left seems to delight in chipping away at our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation. A recent example occurred when President Biden’s appointee to head NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center was sworn into office. The standard traditional practice is to swear in on the Holy Bible. But last week, Dr. Makenzie Lystrup chose instead to be sworn in on a book by the late Carl Sagan.... (more)

JOAN SWIRSKY — According to the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest statistics, in 2020 one in 36 children (approximately four percent of boys and one percent of girls) was estimated to have autism spectrum disorder, estimates that are significantly higher than those in all previous years. White children are about 19 percent more likely than black children and 65 percent more likely than Hispanic children to be diagnosed with autism.... (more)

YOUTUBE — Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Miriam Grossman walk us through the horrific and yet true story behind the Reimer twins.

MUST WATCH.... (more)

PJ MEDIA — Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has finally returned to Capitol Hill, having spent most of his tenure as a U.S. senator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center being treated for clinical depression. Fetterman was discharged on March 31. While it’s good that he’s progressed with mental health issues, we haven’t forgotten about the lingering cognitive impairments that became a major issue of the campaign, as it was clear to anyone that this man wasn’t fit to serve in the U.S. Senate....

PJ MEDIA — On April 19, 1775, a few shots fired in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord shook the foundations of the world and heralded the dawn of a new age. When a few brave minutemen — including at least one slave, Peter Salem — stood their ground on Lexington Green and Concord’s North Bridge and refused to let the British soldiers pass, it must have seemed to the prudent and the fearful like an act of insane futility. How were rag-tag groups of farmers and shopkeepers to defeat the most powerful and best-trained army in the world? And yet the American patriots drove the British back to Boston in shame. There was a long war ahead of the rebels, but they had proved that they were willing to die to defend their freedoms against the ever more tyrannical British Empire. History.com provides more details on these key Battles of Lexington and Concord.... (more)

CBN NEWS — Despite the ongoing debate over morals and values in public schools today, one organization is finding a way to bring Jesus to public school kids each and every week. With all the talk about issues between parents and America's public schools, students across Pennsylvania are learning about Jesus and the Bible, thanks to the unique approach of Bible2School....

WORLDNETDAILY — Throughout America, parents by the millions send their precious children off to their local public schools, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing and arithmetic, along with science, history, sports, music and group recreation, just like when they attended school decades ago. However, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total betrayal. Today, what are still euphemistically called “public schools” (remember, “public” means “government”) have been transmogrified into far-left ideological, political, and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children....

DENNIS PRAGER — A generation of Americans is being raised on half-truths and lies about the history of slavery in America. They are given the impression that America was uniquely bad and that American slavery was uniquely bad. They learn nothing about slavery elsewhere. Among the many lies they are told are that "black slaves built America" and that America is systemically racist.... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — Who has done more to save the nation from the tentacles of Big Tech? The answer could well be Elon Musk. When he paid far too much to buy Twitter, he found out, among other things, that his new property was essentially controlled by the nation's intelligence agencies. He told Tucker Carlson Monday night on Fox News Channel: "The degree to which government agencies had full access to everything happening on Twitter blew my mind. It blew my mind."... (more)

RUMBLE — Biden officials' widespread lack of compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements regarding oaths of office potentially nullifies, or at a minimum calls into question, the legitimacy of their appointments or positions. The absence of mandatory Oath of Office affidavits shifts the burden to the appointees to prove to Petitioner Ms. McGee and the U.S. Attorney their bona fides. The production of these statutorily required affidavits is also required by law.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — The manufactured “scandal” of Justice Clarence Thomas’ relationship with philanthropist Harlan Crow unites two of the left’s chief bigotries today — a hatred of black conservatives and a hatred of billionaires. Given the left’s relentless attacks on Thomas ever since bogus sexual-harassment charges failed to derail his confirmation back in 1991, the only surprise is that it took so long to come up with this angle....

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode. Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency and destroying the rule of law in the process? Or all that and more?... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Dylan Mulvaney is learning that the limelight casts a long shadow. The social media "influencer" – a female impersonator currently in the news after a pathetically misguided move by Bud Light to make him a part of the company's corporate outreach – ran into conservative activist James O'Keefe in a posh Beverly Hills hotel last week....

JUST THE NEWS — Revelations this week of FBI efforts to develop intelligence sources inside the Catholic Church elicited howls of protest — from Capitol Hill, the Church and an FBI whistleblower. Amid the latest revelations of political bias and retaliation by the FBI, Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs is calling for the increasingly polarizing law enforcement agency to be purged of politicized personnel and possibly defunded.... (more)

ROBERT SPENCER — The Left grows more authoritarian and intolerant of opposing views by the day and never shows even the remotest concern for preserving America as a free society. Even when Old Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board crashed and burned amid concerns that it would be used to destroy the freedom of speech and persecute those who dared to exercise it, Leftists didn’t give up their Orwellian habit of referring to speech they dislike and that opposes their agenda as “disinformation.” And now a humor website is taking up the fight for freedom....

CLIFF KINCAID — The U.S. Supreme Court may be the only hope for America. And that’s because President Trump made three conservative appointments to the Court. But he also named other judges. One is Matthew Kacsmaryk, a U.S. District Court Judge who has cited substantial evidence that the FDA’s approval of chemical abortion drugs was illegal and that the drugs themselves are dangerous to women and children....

BOB UNRUH — NPR has announced it will quit using its 52 "official" Twitter accounts after Elon Musk's social media platform accurately labeled it a "state-affiliated" media. That was changed to "government-funded" shortly later. It does, after all, accept tax money from U.S. taxpayers for its operations.... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — The conservative, pro-real-women backlash against Bud Light beer for embracing male-to-"female" transsexuality shows no sign of abating as the exploding boycott is severely harming Anheuser-Busch's bottom line, and it was revealed a Harvard grad came up with the idea of using trans activist Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesman....
