The New Battle Cry: Faith, Freedom, and Resistance to Overreach

By Jeff Childers | Commentary, Coffee & Covid Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! And it’s a C&C special edition. Things are moving faster than we dreamed possible. Yesterday, Florida made the historic announcement that it would end its liberal vaccine exemption program by ditching vaccine mandates altogether. You can’t believe the apocalyptic meltdown the left is having. Let’s dig in to this spectacular story. In Monday’s C&C post, headlined “Pharmapocalypse,” I discussed President Trump’s historic Truth Social post questioning the covid shots — for the first time— and considered the potentially epic implications. Well, it only took two days. Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a story headlined, “Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vacci...

Trump Calls for Transparency: Pfizer Must Share Vaccine Data Immediately

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs." President Donald Trump issued a Labor Day appeal for Pfizer to share its COVID-19 vaccine data with the CDC and the public immediately. Trump said on Truth Social that Pfizer had shown him impressive numbers on its COVID vaccine, but that they had not made them publicly available. His call for transparency comes after the White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez last week following her clash with Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the approval of COVID vaccines.  “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Mi...

Conservative message struggles as Gen Z buys into Democratic narrative

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal A Yale Youth Poll from the spring of 2025 found that voters between the ages of 18 and 21 favored Republican candidates by double digits, which could be a sign that Democrats are finally slipping with America’s younger demographic. The survey revealed that although young people between the ages of 22 and 29 favored the Democratic candidate in their home congressional district for the 2026 election by a margin of about six points, those aged 18 and 21 favored the Republican candidate in their home district by almost 12 points. That’s a massive shift from years past, when younger voters in high school and college were virtually a lock for liberals. Has the left finally gone too far? In a piece outlining the poll ...

President Trump vows voter ID mandate through executive order

By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News President announces plan on social media along with restrictions on mail-in voting President Donald Trump says he plans to sign an executive order aimed at requiring voter ID in elections across the country. Trump made the statement on social media late Saturday night, saying he is also seeking other reforms to how U.S. elections take place.   "Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. Trump previously attempted to impose voter ID via an executive order earlier this year in a wider election integrity action. In April, Ju...

CNN’s Harry Enten compares Democrats to Cracker Barrel flop as GOP surges in swing states

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten exposed how badly Democrats are doing in vital swing states on Monday, while lamenting the collapse of their brand, as key voters continue flocking to the Republican Party. Enten initially cited the “Cracker Barrel” rebranding nightmare, which saw the company change their classic logo by removing the “Old Timer” mascot known as Uncle Herschel. The restaurant had a change of heart Tuesday, following pressure from the public and President Donald Trump. Yet that didn’t stop Enten from using the analogy. “The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter, as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers,” he said. “Bad, bad, bad! What are you doin’? ...

Democrats cry “conspiracy” as Trump appoints Heather Honey to DHS election watchdog role

By Shawn Fleetwood | Commentary, The Federalist Election systems expert Heather Honey has been sworn in at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a deputy assistant secretary, leading elections integrity for the Trump Administration, and the left is losing its mind. Honey, a long-time open-source investigator, has spent years analyzing every aspect of how elections are administered, looking for vulnerabilities that leave election systems open to exploitation. Her investigations have led to lawsuits aimed at changing or clarifying election laws in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Maine, and Tennessee, where she helped rewrite election legislation. Honey was the lead investigator on President Trump’s criminal defense team supporting his Jan. ...

Adam Schiff Launches Legal Defense Fund as DOJ Investigation Tightens

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal The man who led the prosecution of President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial is now worried about his own defense. Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, the longtime California congressman and chief impeachment manager against Trump in 2019-20, has launched a legal defense fund amid accusations that he engaged in mortgage fraud for more than a decade. It’s an accusation Schiff denies, but the director of the Federal Home Financing Agency is talking very tough. In a criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi sent in May, FHFA Director William Pulte wrote that Schiff and his wife, Eve, purchased property in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003 that they affirmed would be their “primary residence.” That designation, Pulte wrote, enabled the Schiff...

Trump’s approval soars to 54 percent after Putin summit in Alaska

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart News President Donald Trump’s voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend found that Trump “now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters,” and improved his numbers among black (23.7) and Hispanic voters (47.2). White voters are at a near-record high approval with 64 percent. Over half of independents (50.4) are approving of Trump, while the vast majority of Republicans (92) and 17.9 percent of Democrats said the same.  The poll found that 44 percent of voters disapprove of Trump, giving him a net +10 percent approval rating. The publication’s last poll conducte...

Mail-in ballots on notice: President Trump moves to restore election integrity

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Substack Everything you need to know about a move that, if successful, would transform all we’ve come to learn about American elections in the modern era. Monday morning started off with a bang, as President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to tell us how he really feels about mail-in voting, and what he wants to do about it: Here are the most important segments of his long message: · Looking to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines (presumably the entire electronic elections infrastructure) · Wanting to install a sophisticated paper balloting system that must be hand counted · Demands timely election results · Mail-in voting enables fraud and lengthy delays used to manipulate results · Executive Order coming soon – intended to c...

Trump says America must fix voting system before 2026

By Shane Croucher | Newsweek President Donald Trump said he will issue an executive order to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a move that would spark legal challenges by states. Trump, who has long argued that mail-in ballots and voting machines are vulnerable to election fraud, though evidence of it happening in practice in the U.S. is scant, made the announcement in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Senior Spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson told Newsweek that Trump's promise is "legally baseless" and said it "threatens the voting rights of millions of Americans, including military families and voters abroad." Democrats support mail-in balloting because it wid...
