If you’re looking for a case study in how the mainstream media constructs a narrative out of thin air to protect their preferred ideological allies, look no further than CNN’s recent coverage of an attempted IED attack in New York City. On Tuesday night, Abby Phillip and Ana Navarro didn’t just report the news; they performed a masterclass in obfuscation, deliberately mischaracterizing a terrorist act to frame it as a story of Muslim victimhood. The facts, which CNN seemingly finds inconvenient, are these: two Pennsylvania teenagers, who reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS, traveled to New York to detonate homemade bombs. Their target wasn’t a person, but a crowd of protesters. Yet, in the hands of Abby Phillip, this became an “attempted terror attack against New York’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani.” BREAKING: Abby Phillips says the IED attack was an “attempted terror attack against NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.” The suspects yelled “Allahu Akbar” and pledged allegiance to ISIS. CNN deleted a tweet and issued a retraction this morning. They never learn. pic.twitter.com/AvsQCUnhP5 — Eyal Yakoby (@EYakoby) March 11, 2026 By framing the attack as one directed at Mamdani — who identifies as Muslim — Phillip and Navarro attempted to pivot the conversation away from radical Islamic terrorism and toward their favorite hobby horse: Republican “bigotry.” Phillip used the false premise of an attack on Mamdani to grill guests about comments made by GOP Congressmen Andy Ogles and Randy Fine, effectively using a near-tragedy caused by ISIS sympathizers to scold Republicans for being mean. Ana Navarro, never one to let a factual error get in the way of a partisan jab, doubled down on the lie. After she declared, “What I find ironic is, so supposedly some of these comments are as a result of the attempt against Mayor Mamdani in New York,” Republican Joe Borelli correctly pointed out that the attackers were targeting protesters, not Mamdani. Navarro stubbornly insisted, “It was at his house,” as if proximity to a building constitutes a targeted assassination attempt. The goal was transparent: if they could convince the audience that Mamdani was the target, they could claim that any criticism of radicalism is actually an incitement to violence against Muslim officials. Phillip offered an apology on Wednesday morning: I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate and I didn’t catch it ahead… — Abby D. Phillip (@abbydphillip) March 11, 2026 This gaslighting followed a humiliating retreat by CNN earlier that day. The network had deleted a tweet that described the terrorists as “Pennsylvania teenagers” whose “lives would drastically change” after a “normal day” ended in arrests for throwing bombs. It was a pathetic attempt to infantilize ISIS-pledging terrorists, portraying them as wayward youths who stumbled into a felony. Phillip and Navarro’s performance was a cynical attempt to gain sympathy for Mamdani by painting him as a target of the very radicalism the media spent all morning trying to downplay. It is a perfect circle of media dishonesty: first, humanize the terrorists; then, when that fails, lie about the target to cast your political opponents as the real villains.

Former “Full House” actress Candace Cameron Bure said she and her husband, former professional hockey player Valeri Bure, once inadvertently attended a creepy underground Hollywood sex party. The 49-year-old made the confession on Tuesday’s episode of her eponymous podcast while talking about “weird and embarrassing” moments. “I went to a party once with Val ‘cause we were married. And it ended up being this underground party that was an S&M sex thing that was so dark and demonic,” Bure told her guest, Madi Prewett of “The Bachelor” fame. “We walked in, and my eyeballs were popping out of my head because I saw stuff I’ve never seen before in my life.”   “I’m looking at Val, going like, ‘How are we here? What is happening?’” Bure continued. “We made a hard U-turn and walked right out of there. It just was so slimy and weird.”  She recalled discussing the awkward situation with her husband afterward. “I was like, ‘We’re going to pause before we ever say yes to going out with that friend again,’” she said. “We just had no idea what we were walking into, and it was so disgusting and gross.” The title of the podcast episode is “You Become Who You Surround Yourself With.” During the conversation, Bure and Prewett discuss in depth the friends who drew them both closer to God and those who led them astray. Candace and her husband have been married since 1996 and share three grown children: Natasha, 27, Lev, 26, and Maks, 24. Bure has been outspoken about her faith and conservative values for years. In 2022, she faced backlash and was accused of “bigotry” and of “selling out” after she voiced her opinion about traditional marriage. Last year, the actress said celebrities are less likely now to face backlash for publicly professing their faith. “I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they’re not congruent with some other people’s opinions,” she said at the time.

On Wednesday, a stunning piece of video footage emerged from Australia, capturing the frantic, humiliated retreat of the Iranian regime’s thugs after they realized they had lost their grip on the women’s national soccer team. The video, which has quickly gone viral, serves as a visceral punctuation mark to a high-stakes international defection that saw five members of the squad vanish into the safety of Australian asylum, leaving their would-be captors scurrying in a panic. In the footage, members of the Iranian security apparatus — tasked with ensuring no player escaped the regime’s reach — are seen running frantically down a flight of stairs. Their composure completely shattered, the men appear desperate and disoriented upon discovering that five of the women had successfully slipped away. The scene was narrated by a local Australian whose scathing commentary provided a quintessentially Western backdrop to the regime’s failure. As the agents bolted, the Australian mocked their sudden loss of power, shouting, “It’s Australia now. You’re in Australia. You’re in Australia. You better run. Yeah, we’re going to get you now. You better run. Yeah, you’ve got no rights here. You’re in Australia! I know who you are! Get down the stairs, yes! You gotta run now. What cowards are you guys, running? Yeah, cowards. The news is going to love this. Get the f*** out of our country, IRGC.” WATCH: Fox News obtains footage from the high-stakes hotel getaway by the Iranian Women’s National Soccer team in Australia. The video captures the moment Iranian handlers, security staff, and coaches scramble as they realize five of their stars had vanished from the premises. pic.twitter.com/V3kY6KefKx — FOX & Friends (@foxandfriends) March 11, 2026 The incident follows a tense standoff during the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup. The team had already drawn the ire of Tehran by remaining silent during the national anthem in their opening match, a move that prompted Iranian state media to brand the athletes “wartime traitors” — a charge that carries the death penalty under the Islamic Republic’s draconian penal code. The tide turned toward safety following a direct intervention by President Donald Trump. After initially criticizing Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for a “terrible humanitarian mistake,” Trump revealed he had spoken with the prime minister to ensure the women were not forced back to certain death. “He’s on it!” Trump posted, confirming that several players had already been “taken care of.” While some players felt compelled to return to Iran due to threats against their families, the video of the “minders” in full flight highlights a rare, public defeat for the IRGC. In 2019, Sahar Khodayari, a devoted fan of the Esteghlal team, who became known as the “Blue Girl,”disguised herself as a man to enter a stadium (where women were banned). After being caught and facing a prison sentence, she set herself on fire in protest and tragically died. Her death sparked international outrage, forcing FIFA to pressure Iran into finally allowing women to enter stadiums for certain matches, though the “ban” is often still enforced or restricted through “selective” ticketing. For a regime that relies on the “Blue Girl” legacy of fear and stadium bans to keep women suppressed, the sight of their enforcers running terrified down a staircase in a free nation offered a powerful symbol of the regime’s waning reach.

Colonial American settlers built thriving communities through self-reliance, hard work, and traditional family values—principles that shaped the foundation of our nation but are under assault by today’s progressive agenda. Diverse Foundations of American Settlement Colonial America encompassed vastly different experiences across time and geography from the early 1600s through the late 1700s. The thirteen original colonies stretched from Massachusetts to Georgia, populated by European settlers whose beliefs, traditions, and lifestyles varied significantly. These differences in background, combined with diverse economic circumstances and regional environments, created unique daily experiences for colonial families. Location determined whether settlers lived in growing northeastern urban centers or rural southern agrarian communities, fundamentally shaping their routines and priorities. Cultural Adaptation and Indigenous Influence Colonial settlers demonstrated remarkable adaptability by incorporating Native American practices into their daily lives while maintaining core European traditions. Indigenous populations significantly influenced colonial communities, particularly in agricultural methods and environmental adaptation techniques. Colonists adopted native farming practices, crop cultivation methods, and survival strategies suited to the American landscape. This cultural exchange reflected the practical wisdom of early Americans who prioritized what worked over rigid adherence to old-world methods, embodying the innovative spirit that would define the emerging nation. Regional Variations in Colonial Life Daily life varied dramatically between colonial regions, reflecting diverse economic opportunities, climate conditions, and settlement patterns. Northern colonies developed merchant economies and urban centers where families engaged in trade, craftsmanship, and commerce alongside agricultural pursuits. Southern colonies focused heavily on plantation agriculture and rural farming communities where families worked large land holdings. Middle colonies blended both approaches, creating diverse economic opportunities for settlers. These regional differences fostered the decentralized, locally-governed approach that became fundamental to American political philosophy and constitutional principles. Foundation of American Values Colonial family life emphasized self-reliance, personal responsibility, and community cooperation—values that became cornerstones of American identity. Families operated as economic and social units where each member contributed to survival and prosperity through individual effort and mutual support. This emphasis on personal responsibility, hard work, and traditional family structures created the foundation for American exceptionalism. These time-tested principles built a thriving nation, yet modern progressives actively undermine these values through dependency programs, attacks on traditional families, and rejection of individual accountability that made America great.

What are we truly asking for when we ask God, “Order my steps”?

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for at least one of three strikes on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Operations Centre posted several alerts Wednesday morning that ships in the strait had been struck by “unknown projectiles,” including a ship later identified […]
