Islam Against America: My Speech at the Pastors Summit
08/24/2025

Islam is rising across the lands of the formerly Christian West. Is Islam really just another faith among many? Is it equally compatible with Western civilization? Charlie argues the answers are "No" and "No." Islam is a unique threat to the West and will overrun it if not taken seriously.

Donald Trump's Anti-Abstraction Presidency
08/21/2025

They tried to impeach Trump, imprison him, bankrupt him, and kill him. And they've always failed. Charlie reacts to Trump's latest Houdini-like victory in his New York civil case.

It all goes back to the nature of Trump himself: He is the anti-abstraction president.
