If you can go through your day without doing something that makes a terrorist group cheer, you're probably doing okay. That’s a solid baseline for making good decisions. Unfortunately, that’s not how a lot of our leaders seem to think. Instead, they make decisions that embolden enemies, destabilize nations, and push lies instead of truth.
Israel: Protests and Political Warfare
Right now, Israel is seeing mass protests over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Shin Bet is Israel’s internal security agency—think of it as their FBI. And just like our FBI, it’s been politicized beyond belief. Bar has been actively working against Netanyahu, pushing politically motivated investigations in the middle of a war. Sound familiar? In the U.S., we’ve seen the same thing—weaponized law enforcement, a justice system that protects one side while hammering the other, and media complicity every step of the way.
These Israeli protesters claim they just want hostages released. But here’s the problem: if your protest is making Hamas happy, you’re doing it wrong. Blocking roads, setting things on fire, and trying to overthrow the government while your country is at war doesn’t exactly scream “concerned citizen.” It screams “useful idiot.” And let’s not ignore the fact that a lot of these protests have the telltale signs of foreign funding. Slick signs, coordinated messaging—who’s really pulling the strings here?
The Houthi Threat and Weak U.S. Response
The Houthis just fired a ballistic missile at Israel. This comes after President Trump warned that any further attacks on Israel would mean holding Iran accountable. And yet, what happened? The missile was intercepted over Saudi Arabia, and all we got was some vague posturing on Truth Social. Iran is running the Houthis, financing their war machine, and testing how far they can push before real consequences come. How much longer before someone decides to actually do something about it?
The Ceasefire That Never Was
There’s been a lot of noise about President Trump supposedly getting Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. That is not what happened. Putin never agreed to stop the war. He agreed to “study the idea” of a ceasefire after Ukraine met a long list of absurd demands—including surrendering territory, reducing their military, and abandoning NATO aspirations. In other words, Russia will stop fighting as soon as they win the war. Not exactly a breakthrough deal.
Meanwhile, Ukraine struck back, targeting Russian energy infrastructure after another wave of Russian drone attacks. So much for a ceasefire. This war is still raging, and any talk of easy diplomatic solutions is just that—talk.
Live Not By Lies
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once warned against living by lies. Today, that warning is more relevant than ever. The left weaponizes the truth, distorts reality, and silences those who refuse to play along. But here’s the thing—this isn’t just a left-wing problem. Too many conservatives are willing to ignore lies if they come from their side. That’s dangerous. Truth is not a political weapon. It stands on its own.
So, here’s my challenge to you: don’t live by lies. Seek the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Hold everyone to the same standard, no matter what letter is next to their name. Because when we abandon truth, we don’t just lose a political battle—we lose everything.
