A few days ago, Congress passed a bill that shocked lots of Americans. On the other hand, plenty of Americans did not realize anything was happening. They were too glued to all of the other dramas going on in our world. Not long after, President Biden signed the bill into law. Extension of FISA Section 702 FISA is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which provides the government with the ability to conduct surveillance on foreign actors for national security. It allows the government to use technology and various means to collect information, data, and evidence. In 2008, Congress passed Section 702 of the FISA, which gives the intelligence community the green light to “collect, analyze, and appropriately share foreign intelligence information about national… read more

Mark Driscoll knows how to make a splash. Recently, at the Stronger Men’s Conference, Driscoll took some time to point out what he thought was a dangerous display of idolization. What was he going on about? The event featured a man named Alex Margala performing on a raised platform. Margala took off his leather shirt, performed some acrobatic moves on a tall pole, and eventually swallowed a sword. Margala has competed on both “America’s Got Talent” and “Britain’s Got Talent” with stunts involving swords, chainsaws, and more. It’s reported that Margala previously worked as a male stripper, but for the sake of this blog: that cannot be confirmed. The Driscoll Fallout Pastor Driscoll climbed onto the stage the next day and spoke. He said,… read more

The “Migrant Crisis” We need to stop calling the crisis at the border a “migrant crisis”. Progressives understand the power of language. They use it like a battering arm against unsuspecting conservatives. They did this with the term for people who cross the border illegally. What once was “criminal alien” became “illegal immigrant”, which morphed into “undocumented migrant”. They even attempted “asylum seekers”.

The truth is the term should be “invasion of criminals.” It stands as nothing less. This moment moves beyond policy, politics, and candidates. This comes as a crossroads in the life of our nation. It’s not racist. It’s… read more

America sits in rough shape. We watch our government act like a third-world dictatorship. It levies criminal case after criminal case against the candidate leading the opposing party. It goes after parents who speak up at school board meetings. It attacks people who pray in front of abortion clinics. It forgets the 5th Amendment as it brutalizes the opposition. Then our government turns around and allows chaos in the form of riots, destruction, murder, theft, and assault. Political points of view, organizations, and associations all matter as to whether the full weight of the law will come down on a person or not. After all, a prosecutor charging a former president of lying, corruption, etc. has been granted clearance after being found guilty of committing the same… read more
