Scott Jennings has a gift. Actually, he has many. But none is more apparent to the general public than the one he displays in his role as CNN‘s senior political commentator. There, he unfailingly articulates President Donald Trump‘s appeal to an audience that is prone to believe there is none. This ability comes from a […]
This Thanksgiving, Americans have much to be thankful for following a massive tax cut and the elimination of wasteful spending in the “one big, beautiful bill.” Indeed, the House Ways and Means Committee announced on Nov. 17 that tax refunds in 2026 will total $191 billion, which could be the largest refund in history.

Today, as the world moves on, her events can seem like therapy sessions — and possible 2028 prep — with fawning moderators […]

Far more innocent people have been slaughtered with far greater brutality in Nigeria than in Gaza. But because the victims in Nigeria are Christian and their murderers are predominantly Muslim, the Left and its media allies have shown little concern. Much of the recent media attention to the plight of Christians in Nigeria surfaced only […]

Ezra Jin, founder and pastor of Zion Church, and more than 30 of his associates and church staff were detained in China on Oct. 10.
