What Does Trump’s Election Mean for Evangelical Christians?
American evangelicals have reacted in opposite ways to the election of former President Donald Trump to a second term in office. Left leaning evangelicals were upset, given their fear that he would be an autocrat, and looking at his character flaws and his use of offensive language. Most Right-leaning evangelicals were excited to see him win. Some believed that he is fulfilling a divine mission because God preserved him from assassination.
Kamala Harris and her record on Israel, Gaza and Hamas is a cloudy one
- OPINION: A week after having been given the Democratic nomination, presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to address fully what her policy toward Israel might be, should she win in November. But in remarks late last week, she provided strong indications of what direction she might go, and evangelical Christian voters may not like it.

Run ‘Em Out of Town on a Rail! The Disqualification of Politicians
Yesterday the House failed to push forward the articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors – for his willful failure to enforce immigration laws. If the failure of Cabinet-level officials to enforce the laws of the land is insufficient grounds to be disqualified from office, what does disqualify a politician? Here are some possible nominations. Acting as a Foreign Agent. Last week Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) called for Rep.
Legacy media ignore detained Americans — why?
Political bias is clear among America’s left-leaning legacy media . But it’s not just what they say, it’s what they don’t say — what and who they refuse to cover. There is an appalling difference between coverage of the wrongful detention of WNBA star Brittney Griner and that of other Americans arrested and still held by Moscow. Griner was arrested in February 2022 on drug charges (medical cannabis) and was detained for 10 months in a women’s prison in Russia.
Hamas Is Fighting an Unjust War
I met a Hamas commander in 2010 when I visited an Israeli prison holding convicted terrorists. What he said to my group through a fellow terrorist translator captures the real reason why Israel is fully justified in its response to the vicious Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas. Israel is being encouraged to respond “proportionately” — or not at all — by those who claim a moral equivalence between Hamas’s terrorist attacks and Israel’s military response.
Hamas Is Fighting an Unjust War
Israel 1 day ago Israel-Gaza: Why this war is different to the others bbc.co.uk - By Jeremy Bowen • 1d If this Gaza war was like all the others, a ceasefire would probably have been in force by now. The dead would be buried and Israel would be arguing with the United Nations about how much cement could come into Gaza for rebuilding. But this war is not like that.
Israel and Hamas - A Fair Fight?

(AP Photo/Leo Correa) I met a Hamas commander in 2010 when I visited an Israeli prison holding convicted terrorists. What he said to my group through a fellow terrorist translator captures the real reason why Israel is fully justified in its response to the vicious and evil October 7 attacks by Hamas.
Will lawmakers inflict rent control on Colorado? | PODIUM
Hold onto your wallets. The Colorado legislature appears poised to repeat recent history. Although the 2024 legislative session doesn’t start until January, it seems likely far-left progressives will reintroduce failed bills from last spring during the spring session. Colorado citizens have a right to be worried. Some of the worst ideas are bad solutions to Colorado’s homelessness, poverty and housing issues.
COPELAND: Not Your Grandfather’s Socialism
Senator Bernie Sanders is charging $95 for tickets to an event promoting his new book – on capitalism. Capitalism works, even for an old-time friend of socialism. Bernie became the silver fox of the progressive and socialist Left during his run for the Democratic nomination in 2016, and he was perhaps on his way to clinching the nomination before some backroom deals went down at the DNC. Still popular, his appeal to youth is only overshadowed on the socialist Left by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Authentic Leadership of a Queen
“Roedd lle arbenig i Gymru yn ei chalon.” That’s a mouthful, unless you speak Welsh as does the new King Charles III of Britain, who learned the language while he studied at Aberystwyth University in the 1960’s.
Dangerous trends in American Protestant support for Israel
While American Protestants have long been seen as key allies to the Jewish state of Israel, there are disturbing signs of an emerging anti-Israeli sentiment. This comes in pure political form, as when the Presbyterian Church USA recently opposed the Abraham Accords. Somewhat more quietly, the American BDS movement depends on support from academics, social justice warriors and from liberal religious communities.
America's Ever-Changing Role in the World
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. Pundits have more questions than answers at the moment. What does Putin want from his invasion of Ukraine? Does he want to reconstitute the Soviet Union? Will he resort to using nuclear weapons? Is he crazy? Here at home, did President Biden think that sanctions would work, or not? Why does America seem to be leading from behind? Why did we rely on China to ask Putin to not invade?
COPELAND And GRAHAM: Marine Who Called For Afghanistan Accountability In Viral Video Should Have Resigned First
Hours after 13 American soldiers, including 11 Marines, and scores of Afghan civilians were killed in a suicide attack at the Kabul airport, Marine Corps Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller posted a video to Facebook in which he demanded accountability from military leadership. He singled out Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley for failing to provide better advice to President Joe Biden about how and when to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Not Just Patriot Games
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. April 19, 1995 started as a normal spring day. Shops opened, kids walked to the bus stop, and adults bustled off to the office. Hundreds of them went to work at the Murrah Federal Building that morning, some dropping their toddlers off at an on-site day care center. At 9:02 a.m., Oklahoma City changed forever. Initial suspicion for the deadly bombing fell on Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Is the Governor Blowing Smoke? Marijuana Legalization Is a Net Loss for PA
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is proposing that the state legalize recreational marijuana in an effort to raise tax revenues lost during the Covid pandemic. Ironically, his draconian shutdown of much of the state over the past six months has seriously impacted the PA economy, and hence the state’s tax revenue. But it’s a pipe dream.
COPELAND: So You Want To Move To Canada?
Within minutes of Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Google searches for how to “move to Canada” spiked dramatically. Hotspots for the search included liberal bastions like Massachusetts, New York, California and Washington. But Trump supporters shouldn’t be overly joyful at the prospect of Democrats moving out – the swing states of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania were also hotspots for the search. Periodically, the temptation to flee the country becomes popular.
Whose Words These Are I Think I Know
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not represent the views of Townhall.com. News broke this week that basketball star LeBron James wants to copyright the phrase “Taco Tuesday.” This comes months after Kim Kardashian wanted to copyright the word “kimono,” and fifteen years after President Trump tried to copyright “You’re fired!” because it was his signature line on The Apprentice reality show.
