By Tim O'Brien One of the foundational assumptions and themes the transgender movement relies upon to make its case for chemical castration and sex-change surgeries, particularly for minors, is that if gender-confused people don’t get “treatment,” they will kill themselves. So if you’re against the chemical castration and surgical mutilation of children, you are literally killing them. As propaganda campaigns go, this is one of the most abrasive attacks on fundamental truth in the history of mankind, and I don’t think I’m being overly hyperbolic. Prior to the current generations of humans on this planet, going back to the cave men, when was the last time human society thought men could become women and women could become men? What primitive culture believed this? What Dark Ages culture believed this? Any of them? How can it be that mankind has evolved to the point where we can send landers to Mars and probers beyond our solar system, while at the same time being so scientifica...

By Scott Pinsker In NPR’s fluffy profile of Tucker Carlson , journalist Steve Inskeep wrote, “Carlson has taken the view not only that Israel influenced Trump to launch the [Iran] war, but that Israel gave Trump no choice, and in fact that outside forces control both American political parties, which he described as the ‘uniparty,’ a single organization. Carlson’s theories have raised questions about antisemitism — a charge he denied before being asked.” Inskeep also revealed that Carlson’s dogs were “impressively well-behaved,” but I’m less intrigued by that Pulitzer-worthy scoop and more in Carlson’s unsolicited, unprompted denial of antisemitism. Because that’s completely normal: People proactively deny scandalous conduct all the time. They bring it up out of the clear blue. It’s not self-incriminating at all. Yessir, when my wife asks, “Are you going to work tomorrow?” and I say, “Yeah, but I’m not having an affair with my receptionist!” she nods her head and reminds me to tak...

By Nick Arama You may recall the story of Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) and her adventure at Delaney Hall, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.  She ended up facing charges. The case stems from a May 9, 2025, visit McIver made to Delaney Hall in Newark alongside Reps. Rob Menendez and Bonnie Watson Coleman. While the three members of Congress were waiting to tour the jail, federal agents moved to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka , who was also at the detention center that day, for trespassing. A chaotic scene resulted, and prosecutors allege McIver assaulted federal agents during the melee. While Baraka’s trespassing charge was quickly dropped, McIver was indicted on two felony counts and one misdemeanor in June 2025. She faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted. She has pleaded not guilty. The other members of Congress were not charged.  McIver later tried to get the charges dismissed. McIver argued that the Co...

A month-long online challenge turns explicit sexual fantasies into daily content. By BROOKE BRANDTJEN It takes a lot to surprise me on TikTok. I go in expecting left-wing absurdity. But recently I found a young woman in her 20s crying because she felt “overwhelmed” by the amount of content she would have to create for “Kinktober.” What’s that about? Our country can’t get comfortable with sexually explicit content. It needs to be re-stigmatized, shamed, and kept from public life. Kinktober is the sexually explicit offspring of Inktober, an online challenge that encourages artists and writers to create one themed work every day in October. Kinktober takes the same format and fills it with sexual prompts. One 2026 prompt list circulating online includes bestiality, intoxication, age-gap sex, and a long list of fetishes too vile to publish here. The strange part is not that adults have invented another sexual subculture. Humans h...

By Chris Donaldson Fanatical left-wing streamer Hasan Piker is a veritable fountain of inflammatory takes but mocking a pair of fallen Navy SEALS may be his most outrageous yet. Piker sparked outrage after the animal-abusing Muslim’s sick comments about the two heroes who drowned during a high-risk nighttime operation off the coast of Somalia in January 2024 were resurfaced on social media. Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Nathan Gage Ingram and Chief Special Warfare Operator Christopher Chambers may have paid the ultimate price in service to their country but Piker took great delight in dancing a jig on their graves. Hasan Piker: “Yeah, like those two SEALs that tripped and fell off the fu**ing ladder and drowned in the Red Sea.” Their names are Chief Special Warfare Operator Christopher Chambers, and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Nathan Gage Ingram. Chambers fell into the water as he… — Special Ops Magazine (@specialopsmag) September 25, 2026 “Yeah, like th...

By Michael Sinkewicz Quantum computing could give the U.S. and its allies a new tool in their effort to reduce reliance on China for critical rare earth elements, with one technology company betting the emerging technology can make extracting and processing limited Western supplies more efficient. Pasqal is partnering with USA Rare Earth and Riven Systems to explore how quantum computing, artificial intelligence and rapid chemical testing can improve the separation and processing of rare earth elements. Pasqal CEO Wasiq Bokhari told FOX Business that the goal is essentially to get more usable rare earth material out of the resources already available outside China . China, Bokhari explained, has significant control over global rare-earth supply and processing, while the U.S. and its allies are seeking to develop alternative supply chains for materials used in magnets, electronics, defense systems and advanced manufacturing . Pasqal is partnering with USA Rare Earth and Riven ...

The mainstream media cherry-picked one short line to undermine the message of the entire speech. By CARLOS GARCIA A Republican senator is getting mocked for decrying pilots possibly practicing a "deranged fetish," but he fired back with disturbing evidence of his claim. Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama railed against the transgender agenda in a fiery screed on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, but only one brief clip from his speech against the "woke mind virus" went viral. Tuberville called for a national debate on the mental health crisis that is causing widespread "gender confusion." Then he cited furries in the airline industry. "Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and aircraft traffic controllers are part of the furry community. Lord help us," he said. "It's terrifying when you think about this. When you walk onto a commercial flight, it's possible that the pilot flying your plane could have a...

By Brittany Miller President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposed seven-day ceasefire and told aides he expects U.S. bombing of Iran to resume after the November midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing U.S. officials. Trump is reportedly skeptical that Tehran will meet U.S. demands despite continued negotiations through regional mediators. Iran's proposal called for the U.S. to lift its naval blockade, unfreeze some Iranian assets and ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear negotiations, according to the Journal. The U.S. has told Iran and mediators that Trump does not intend to lift the maritime blockade, the outlet reported. The scope of any renewed U.S. strikes remains unclear, and officials told the Journal that Trump's position could change as negotiations continue.

What does it look like to contend for your faith when culture is shifting, pressure is rising, and following Jesus may cost you something? Pastor Josh Howerton sits down with Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell for a raw and deeply personal conversation about Philip’s journey from the streets of Queens and Rikers Island to surrendering his life to Christ and eventually becoming a pastor. Philip shares how God transformed his life, shaped his preaching, and taught him that faithfulness—not platform, influence, or recognition—is the true measure of ministry. The conversation also turns to some of today’s most controversial issues as Josh and Philip discuss biblical authority, spiritual deception, Islam, politics, persecution, end-times theology, and why they believe Christians must contend for biblical truth. Through it all, Philip challenges believers to reject apathy and faithfully represent Christ wherever God has placed them. In this episode: • P...

Operation Lone Star cost Texas more than $11 billion; the $7.5 billion from the border bill covers barely two-thirds of what the state spent doing Washington's job. By Lauren Washburn Texas guarded the border for years to defend its citizens, even when the federal government refused. Now, the state is finally vindicated, and Washington, D.C., is beginning to repay its debt. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced last week that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has approved $7.5 billion from the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” to reimburse Texas for securing the border. This is one step to make up for the federal government’s failure to do that job. After then-President Joe Biden opened the southern border after taking office in 2021, Abbott launched Operation Lone Star, a massive effort to crack down on illegal immigration and transnational crime. Border czar Tom Homan, who also worked for former President Barack Obama’s administration, blamed Biden for intentionall...

Two out of five American jobs are considered physically demanding. (Getty) By Jessica Hall A new bill calling for lowering Social Security’s full retirement age from 67 to 60 for workers in physically demanding jobs could put additional strain on the trust fund that backs the program and create a two-tiered system for workers, retirement experts said. The proposal, the “Blue Collar Social Security Fairness Act,” introduced on Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, would allow workers in physically demanding jobs to get their full retirement benefits at age 60. Full retirement age is currently 67 for people born in 1960 or later. The earliest an individual can claim Social Security benefits is at age 62, but doing so results in a benefit that is permanently reduced by as much as 30 percent. To get their full retirement benefits, a worker must wait until age 67, and waiting until age 70 increases benefits by an additional 24 percent. The bill aims to cover jo...
