A North Carolina beauty queen, who is Hispanic, was dethroned after someone discovered social media posts she had written 10 years ago. The beauty queen used the “n***a” word in multiple posts as a 17-year-old. Should someone you write as a juvenile be used against you as a grown adult?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Big trouble at Derby High School in Kansas. The school yearbook just came out and it’s filled with all sorts of inappropriate material. One student is depicted as a drag queen – a teenage boy wearing a leopard print top and black fishnet stockings. There are also articles attacking Charlie Kirk supporters – along with quotes mocking people who love Jesus. And there was a full page attacking ICE agents for deporting the illegal alien invaders. The Derby High School yearbook also included a message that President Trump is the worst president in American history. Back when we were in school – the yearbook celebrated the best dressed and most likely to succeed. At Derby High School – they are celebrating the most likely to become a domestic terrorist. Sounds like the Derby school yearbook is being edited by former employees of The New York Times and Washington Post. If we are really going to save our Republic, we must take back control of our public schools. I explain how to do that in my new book, “The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America.” You can get a copy on Amazon or your favorite bookstore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michigan Democrats picked Abdul El-Sayed to be their candidate for the U.S. Senate race. He will face Republican Mike Rogers. Rogers says El-Sayed is “way too extreme for Michigan. I mean, Abdul, he has his own special sauce of crazy."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is growing frustration at how President Trump is handling the war in Iran. Over the weekend, the president announced that he was holding off on what would have been a massive military bombardment. The president said he pulled back at the request of the Iranians. Meanwhile – Iran says there are no deals in place and they have not held any direct talks with the administration. The on again, off again war is off again. Reaction has been swift – and not good for Team Trump. Nearly a thousand people weighed in on my Facebook page – 99 percent of those who commented were frustrated over the president’s handling of the war. Meanwhile, the Pentagon sent an email to military personnel inviting them to submit creative and unconventional ideas to punish Iran. Unconventional Ideas? How about bombing them back to the stone age? What in the world is going on? The American people were very clear – no more forever wars. And what was supposed to be a six-week war has turned into a six month war – and counting. We’ve been told dozens of times that deals were in place only to watch the Iranians break the deal. It’s time to either fish or cut bait. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Talarico, the low-testosterone Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, said in a podcast interview that the Bible nothing more than propaganda. He denounced efforts to education leaders to infuse Bible stories into school curriculum. Talarico, who is a theologian, also claims that God is non-binary and Jesus affirms abortion. Talarico also promoted a vegan lifestyle and once vowed to run a meatless campaign. To boost his Texas bonafides, he has been seen eating brisket and reportedly rented a pickup truck.

A liberal woman took her kids to the dentist the other day. The dentist is a Christian and he had placed Bibles in the waiting room. That apparently set off this lady who fired off an angry rant on social media. She was so triggered by the presence of God’s Word that she canceled the appointment. The woman defended her rant by saying that America is not a Christian nation and she did not appreciate a private business putting Bibles in the waiting room. Well, I hate to break it to this lady – but America is a country where we embrace religious liberty. And a private business owner can put whatever he wants in the lobby of his lobby. Honest to goodness – the intolerance of these liberals is something to behold. Not sure what’s worse – getting a root canal or being forced to listen to an unhinged, far-left loon. At least you get drugs with the root canal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing outrage from wealthy homeowners after he published a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subjected to a proposed pied-a-terre tax.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is now being called the Dr. Frankenstein of the modern era. Trump senior adviser Peter Navarro told Fox News that Fauci has the blood of millions of people on his hands. Fauci is testifying on Capitol Hill this week about the role he played in the deaths of nearly 98,000 Americans who died from the China Virus. Senator Rand Paul, the Republican from Kentucky, just released more than a thousand pages of diary entries from Fauci – showing that the doctor was fixated on press coverage he received during the pandemic. He was also obsessed with his celebrity status – boasting about how the media was quote “hot and heavy” about the doctor. One journal entry noted that Fauci said his star outshone even President Trump. Of particular note – Fauci emphatically said he had nothing to do with the closing of schools across America. However, in Fauci’s own journal he took personal credit for telling the mayor of New York City and the governor of California to shut down public schools – as well as restaurants and bars. Senator Paul says Fauci will answer to the American people. What say you, America? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You might be surprised to learn that Mickey Mouse is not held in high esteem by The Smithsonian. There’s one museum exhibit that describes Steamboat Willie as a vestige of long-standing traditions of a blackface minstrel show. That revelation came during a congressional hearing with Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Mickey Mouse is racist? Now, that’s just goofy. Turns out the Smithsonian has all sorts of woke exhibits and ideology. Did you know that being polite is a form of white supremacy? Or that you can purchase a children’s story book that includes pictures of two boys lusting after each other? They also share Latino Power merchandise. To illustrate the absurdity – imagine the outrage if they sold White Power merch. What’s puzzling is why you can purchase gay-themed books at the Smithsonian gift shop – but you can’t purchase a copy of the two books that most influenced the Founding Fathers – the Holy Bible and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. How ironic that you can’t find common sense in The Smithsonian museums. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A culinary controversy in Georgia. Rick Jackson – the Republican nominee for governor – stopped by a black-owned restaurant. And now the owner of Toast on Lenox is facing a boycott. Tamara Young is the owner of Toast on Lenox. She has since deleted a photo she posted when Jackson dropped by for a visit. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms poured gasoline on the fire by saying anyone who welcomes her opponent has made a calculated decision and should understand the risks. Bottoms is the Democrat nominee for governor. During the China Virus Pandemic – the policies enacted by Mayor Bottoms led to the closing of more than 100 small businesses. And now she wants to shut down any business that serves a Republican. Mr. Jackson issued a statement saying he’s going to fight for all Georgians – no matter their zip code or party affiliation. I’m predicting Ms. Bottom’s chances of becoming governor are toast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At least 3 people were injured Monday morning when an anti-ICE terrorist tried to firebomb the federal building in Lower Manhattan. The terrorist was arrested by authorities. There’s no doubt that this terrorist was inspired by all of the anti-ICE rhetoric spewing from the Democrat Party and the anti-ICE propagandists in the media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FBI agent Nikki Floris wrote in a text chat that "I'm basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point." That was one of the more shocking revelations discovered by President Trump. He delivered a speech to the nation announcing that evidence had been uncovered that China had been meddling in our federal elections. And there were also elements within our own government that had been working during his first term in office to undermine and sabotage the president and his agenda. Remember what disgraced FBI agent Peter Strozk said to a colleague in 2016 – about needing an insurance policy should Trump be elected. Strozk also told a colleague that the FBI would stop Trump from being elected. The "shadow government" also kept important documents away from President Trump during his first term in office. This is sedition - conduct intended to overthrow an established and duly elected government. The maximum penalty is 20 years in prison. My only question: Has Ms. Floris been taken into federal custody yet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tamboli’s Pizza and Pasta is a popular restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee. The other day four young National Guard troops showed up hoping to get a slice or two. Instead, they were shown the door. The staff at Tamboli’s ordered the troops to leave. Eyewitnesses report that other diners cheered as the young men were publicly shamed and kicked out of the restaurant. The owner posted a message on social media explaining that he does not allow National Guard troops to eat his food. Tamboli’s says they do not support the Memphis Safe Task Force or President Trump’s efforts to stop violent crime in the nation’s most dangerous city. I’ve posted the phone number of the restaurant on my website – if you’d like to reach out personally – ToddStarnes.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social media is filled with memorial and tributes just about every time a lawmaker dies. And more often than not – the pundit crowd begins their posts with a caveat: “I did not agree with Senator so and so, but…” or “We disagreed on everything and he was a sorry so-and-so, but...” If you have to qualify your tribute or memorial – it is not a tribute. It's an example of bad upbringing. Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly over the weekend. And I noticed that a good many folks on both sides of the aisle were offering backhanded condolences. Senator Graham was a good and decent man. He took care of his family. He fought for the unborn. He stood up for religious liberty. He was a friend to our president. And he will be missed. And as Grandma Starnes used to say – if you can’t say something nice – it’s just best to hush up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A group of prominent black activists are calling on California to teach preschoolers how to speak "Black English." The activists say they don't want their children talking like white people.

The Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library is now open to the public and it’s already being called the most hideous presidential edifice in American history. Some have likened the drab, gray, dystopian obelisk to a guard tower at a North Korean prison camp. Others have said ti bears a striking resemblance to a Death Star. It is also the most expensive presidential library in history. The original budget was $330 million but costs exploded to more than $850 million. And Fox News reports the final price tag could exceed $1 billion. But not everyone is all hope and change and yes we can. It turns out that a number of black contractors have not been paid. One plumbing company says they are owed nearly $4 million. The African American Contractors Association says they have never seen anything like this happen in the history of their organization. Are we really that surprised that Obama is not paying his bills? He stiffed black Americans during his 8 years in the White House – and he’s stiffing in them in the private sector too. By the way, if you plan on visiting Chicago, bring a valid form of identification. You’ll need that not to vote, but to gain access to the library.
