Opinion | April 11, 2026 By Joe Perez For as long as I can remember, I have been a person of truth. Not the comfortable kind of truth that gets you applause at dinner parties — the kind that makes people uncomfortable, the kind that names what others prefer to leave unnamed. And for most of my life, when I pointed to the deep contradictions rotting at the foundation of American society, people looked away. They are not looking away anymore. They cannot afford to. Everything u

Opinion | April 11, 2026 By Joe Perez Somewhere right now, there is a person who has not had a free afternoon in two years. They wake up early, go to sleep late, and spend every hour in between attending to the needs of someone they love — a parent, a spouse, a sibling. They do it out of duty. Out of love. Out of a moral conviction that family takes care of family. And they do it completely alone. Not because no one else is available. But because the other members of the fami

Opinion | April 10, 2026 By Joe Perez As US Vice President JD Vance touches down in Islamabad today for what Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called a "make-or-break moment," the world is watching with cautious hope. A two-week ceasefire is holding — barely. Iranian delegates have arrived at the Serena Hotel. Diplomats are talking. Don't be fooled. The evidence on the ground points in one direction: these talks are headed for failure. Two Sides, Two Completely Dif

April 8, 2026 By Joe Perez The bombs dropped. The headlines blazed. President Trump called it a historic victory. But weeks into Operation Epic Fury — the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran that kicked off on February 28, 2026 — the cracks are hard to ignore. Behind all the "overwhelming power" and "ruthless precision" talk, there's a messier story of misjudgments, unmet goals, and a military machine that may have been less ready than advertised. ## The Military Was Al

Opinion | April 7, 2026 By Joe Perez The Catholic Church makes one of the boldest claims in all of human history: that it is the original church founded by Jesus Christ himself, with an unbroken line of authority stretching from the Apostle Peter to the Pope sitting in Rome today. It is a claim repeated in cathedrals, in catechisms, and in Vatican declarations the world over. It is also a claim that crumbles under honest historical and theological scrutiny. What Jesus Actuall

By Joe Perez | April 7, 2026 On April 1, 2026, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in one of the most important citizenship cases in American history. The case is called Trump v. Barbara. What is at stake is simple — can a president sign an executive order and decide that children born on American soil are no longer automatically American citizens? The answer, according to the Constitution, is no. What the 14th Amendment Says The 14th Amendment was ratified in 186

The Lies Are Piling Up — And Americans Are Dying Opinion | April 6, 2026 By Joe Perez There is a pattern here. It is not subtle. And it is time to call it what it is. Since the United States launched Operation Epic Fury on February 28, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have constructed an elaborate fiction about how this war is going. They have done it openly, repeatedly, and without shame. And with every passing week, reality keeps dismantling their s

By Joe Perez | Aware of Truth | April 2, 2026 On March 25, 2026, José Guadalupe Ramos was found unconscious in his bunk at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in Southern California. He was transported to a nearby hospital and declared dead. He was not a criminal. He was a detained migrant — one of over 177,000 Mexican nationals taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody since Donald Trump returned to the White House in 2025. He was also the fourteenth Mexican

Opinion|April 2, 2026 Let's be honest. When Donald Trump called NATO a "paper tiger" this week, the howls of outrage from European capitals rang a little hollow. Because deep down, many of those same governments know he has a point — even if they'd never admit it. Trump told Britain's Telegraph he was reconsidering US membership in NATO — "beyond reconsideration," in his words — and doubled down to Reuters, saying he was "absolutely" thinking about withdrawing from the allian

On the assault against American citizen children, the hypocrisy of history, and the fight for the elimination of racial discrimination April 1, 2026 President Donald Trump wants to take away birthright citizenship from Americans. But it is the Pilgrims and their descendants that need to get their birthright revoked. 50 American Children a Day This is not abstract policy. This is happening right now to real children on American soil. In the first seven months of the current ad

*This morning, President Trump declared victory. This morning, Iran struck an oil tanker off the coast of Qatar.* On April 1, 2026, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that Iran's president had asked the United States for a ceasefire — framing it as a sign that American military force had brought Tehran to its knees. He will address the nation tonight at 9 p.m. ET with what the White House calls "an important update on Iran." There is just one problem. Iran hasn't co

*They call it election security. Look closer, and it's something else entirely.* The SAVE America Act — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — is President Trump's self-described number one legislative priority. The House passed it on February 11, 2026. The Senate began debating it on March 17. It stalled, went nowhere, and Congress left for spring recess. Now, rather than wait for lawmakers to act, Trump has taken matters into his own hands — signing an executive ord

-By Joe Perez On February 28, 2026, the United States went to war. There was no congressional debate. No formal declaration. No public vote. Just a video posted online, and bombs already falling.* President Donald Trump, acting jointly with Israel, launched what he himself described as a "massive and ongoing" military operation against Iran — one that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggered retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases across the Gulf region.

A prophetic word on the war in the Middle East, the American empire, and the eternal freedom of the Spirit "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap." — Galatians 6:7 The world is shaking. And many of you are afraid. But before we talk about what is happening, we need to talk about why. Americans have turned their backs on God. They have taken the sacred and made it a money scheme — selling faith like a product, packaging God like a
