I Agree with Bill O’Reilly. But Here’s What’s Missing
My three favorite national commentators on American and world affairs are probably Victor Davis Hanson, Rod Martin, and Bill O’Reilly. I read and watch all three of them weekly.
They share wisdom from a Judeo-Christian perspective with slightly different strengths:
- VDH – intellectual historian with a mainline church background.
- Rod Martin – Futurist and positive entrepreneur who is Southern Baptist.
- Bill O’Reilly – a practicing Catholic who supports traditional values and fact-based reporting.
According to the list above, I guess I’m ecumenical in gathering my weekly news roundup.
A column by Bill O’Reilly caught my eye this week. But something was missing from it.
Why Socialists Rage? The World is Waking Up to Freedom
The incredible hostility toward Donald Trump has a far deeper source than hatred of his combative personality. I don’t like his manner at times myself.
But I do love his policies, and how God seems to be using him to rebirth freedom in the world.
A decade ago the world was moving toward totalitarian rule–maybe even a one world order. Not now. The Marxists/socialists/communists/Islamicists aren’t happy because their dream (though seen from different angles) is dying.
In 2026 the world is waking up to freedom.
Post Iran War: What Are the World’s Greatest Threats?
President Donald Trump announced Sunday evening that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) had been reached with Iran. It read:
The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP.
The 14 point MOU was released today with 60 days of negotiations following. President Trump signed it on behalf of the USA on Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles in France.
With Iran War now behind us and gas prices beginning to fall, I’ve been thinking about the greatest threats that America and the world face during the summer of ’26.
