Are More People Going To Church Because Fewer Are Going To College?
Higher education's collapsing credibility may be doing more to slow the decline of American religion than any revival, awakening, or demographic shift.Higher education's collapsing credibility may be doing more to slow the decline of American religion than any revival, awakening, or demographic shift.‘My radar goes up’: Hantavirus sparks fear — but should we care after the COVID lies?
As hantavirus begins to dominate the headlines, Americans everywhere are worried that we might have another pandemic on our hands.
And while the virus has a much higher fatality rate than COVID-19, Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes that it’s not the government’s job to step in and lock the country down if it comes to that.
“That is the logical action,” Glenn says of locking down. “But I don’t want my government telling me that anymore. I’m tired of that. I would just want to be like, ... ‘I’m locking myself in.’”
“I trust nothing from the way the government works on this, especially the global government,” Jason Buttrill chimes in, noting that it seemed like the government used COVID-19 just to “exert control.”
“It’s making me to where I don’t trust anything that they do anymore because they’re going to take the most radical thing that they have, you know, in their little book, and they’re going to turn that into reality,” he continues.
And Buttrill is far from the only one who feels that way.
“You have to have trust as a society. You have to have leaders that you trust. They’ve done it to us. They have lied to us over and over and over again. And now so many of us are like, ‘You know what, I don’t believe them. ... I don’t believe they didn’t come up with this,’” Glenn says.
And like Glenn, Buttrill believes it’s important to know about the virus so he can remain informed, but it’s up to him to choose how to handle it.
“I can use that information and make decisions for myself without the maximum fear campaign,” he says. “And now it feels like the media and anyone else, whether it’s a technocrat, whether it’s somebody at the CDC, whether it’s someone at the WHO, I feel like everything now is directed towards that maximum fear.”
“And instantly, my radar goes up,” he adds.

This Covid Mandates Case Would Let Alito Prove The Left Doesn’t Care About Bodily Autonomy
Leftists cherish the right to bodily autonomy so long as the person exercising it is a woman seeking to abort a child, not an adult who objects to putting an experimental medication in her body.'Dr. Lockdown': Ohio Democrat governor candidate's COVID tyranny comes back to haunt her — but she still may win
Amy Acton, the physician who served as director of the Ohio Department of Health in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, is running as a Democrat in hopes of succeeding her former boss, Gov. Mike DeWine (R).
Although the Republican governor has attempted to shield his former underling from blame over her efforts to curtail basic liberties during the pandemic in the name of public health, critics appear unwilling to forgive or forget, especially with the election shaping up to be a close race.
'Amy Acton shut down our society.'
The Ohio Republican Party, for example, recalled on Tuesday that Acton "installed an order during COVID to lock down nursing homes," adding that "visits were deemed permissible for loved ones and patients based on whether or not they were 'grieving.' Truly sickening."
The state GOP noted in a previous post that Acton — who has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and the Ohio Federation of Teachers — also saw to the closure of bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters, playgrounds, museums, libraries, fitness centers, and small businesses.
"She deemed her allies 'essential' — and left the rest to fend for themselves," said the Ohio GOP.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, with whom Acton is poised to face off in November's general election, has dubbed her "Dr. Lockdown" and blasted the Democrat for her role in closing Ohio public schools — which she insisted in an interview last year was necessary — and businesses.

Hours before Ohioans were supposed to begin casting ballots in the state's March 2020 presidential primary, Acton ordered the closure of the polling locations. On the day of the punted vote, she ordered the closure of all Ohio bars and restaurants.
Days later, Acton issued a stay-at-home order, forbidding virtually all public and private gatherings occurring outside a single household; closing all "places of public amusement" including playgrounds; and prohibiting Ohioans from leaving their homes except for "Essential Activities, Essential Governmental Functions, or to participate in Essential Businesses and Operations."
Acton's actions prompted state lawmakers to introduce multiple bills aimed at reining in her power.
In the face of immense backlash and possible curbs on her authority, she resigned in June 2020.
"Amy Acton shut down our society," Ohio Senate President Rob McColley (R) tweeted on Thursday. "Then she walked away when Ohioans pleaded for help in getting back to normal. She quit on Ohio once and we won’t give her a chance to do it again."
Acton's campaign declined a request for comment from Blaze News about Republicans' recent criticism.
A Quantus Insights survey conducted last week found that 45.9% of respondents signaled support for Acton, 44.9% signaled support for Ramaswamy, nearly 6% said they were undecided, and 3.3% signaled support for some other candidate.
According to the survey, a plurality of respondents placed the economy, inflation, and the cost of living as the most important issues facing the state.

Trump Is Dismantling Xi’s ‘China Dream’ One Piece At A Time
China has been chasing the title of world superpower for over a decade. Trump is still holding Xi back.'Hold Big Pharma accountable': Vaxx giants are sure to be nervous about Rand Paul's new bill
Vaccine manufacturers such as Pfizer made record profits pushing experimental drugs during the pandemic that were nowhere near as "safe and effective" as marketed.
Although their vaccines allegedly left some Americans badly injured and allegedly killed others, Big Pharma giants were largely protected from civil lawsuits as the result of special liability protections that were repeatedly extended by the Biden administration.
'When it comes to vaccines, and in many cases the COVID vaccine, the rules are rigged.'
Republican Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) introduced legislation last week that would amend the Public Health Service Act to strip the liability shield from vaccine manufacturers.
"If a drug hurts someone, you can sue the company in court," said Paul, a licensed doctor of medicine. "You can hold them responsible through the normal legal process. But when it comes to vaccines, and in many cases the COVID vaccine, the rules are rigged: You're funneled into a federal no-fault program that limits damages, restricts your options, and — in many cases — leaves people without real justice. That's cronyism."
Presently, persons seeking compensation for injuries sustained as the result of a covered vaccine must file a petition with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which is touted as a "no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury petitions."
Those specifically injured by one of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines — which were in many jurisdictions required to remain employed, eat in public, stay in school, or visit loved ones — must file a petition with the related Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.

Parents, legal guardians, and legal representatives of those individuals who were killed by the vaccines — the U.S. Food and Drug Administration admitted in December that "at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination" — can file on behalf of the decedents.
The catch is that suffering an injury or dying around the time of the receipt of a COVID jab "is not sufficient, by itself, to prove that an injury is the direct result of a covered countermeasure."
Since there is a high bar for proving causation, few Americans' petitions are successful.
'Pharma giants are hiding behind legal protections to avoid being sued.'
CICP data shows that as of Feb. 1, a total of 14,102 COVID-19 claims have been filed, 10,944 alleging injuries or death from COVID-19 vaccines and 3,158 alleging injuries or death from other COVID-19 countermeasures.
Of the total, 6,556 were rejected outright. Of the 6,649 for which decisions were made, only 93 claims were found eligible for compensation — and of the 93, only 44 petitioners have actually received compensation.
Sen. Paul's End the Vaccine Carveout Act, which was co-sponsored by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and serves as a companion bill to the legislation of the same name introduced in the House in July by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), would reform the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program by allowing vaccine-injured individuals or the legal representatives of those killed by vaccines to pursue direct civil action in state or federal court without having to first try their chances at the no-fault federal system.
Presently, vaccine-injured Americans are generally required to file a petition through VICP before seeking judicial relief. The Republican bill would eliminate that barrier to possible justice.
The bill would also exclude COVID-19 vaccines from the definition of "covered countermeasures," thereby ending the immunity shield that has for years protected vaccine manufacturers, distributors, and administration from vaccine injury claims.
Lee stated, "Pharma giants are hiding behind legal protections to avoid being sued by Americans experiencing serious vaccine side effects."
"Many of these patients were forced to get vaccinated or lose their jobs during the pandemic and are now dealing with permanent and very serious complications," Lee continued. "Our bill will end these unconstitutional vaccine carveouts so that all Americans can receive the justice they deserve and hold Big Pharma accountable."
Weeks after the 2024 presidential election, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra extended the liability shield for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers through Dec. 31, 2029.

Cuomo Getting A Radio Show Instead Of Prison Proves There’s A Two-Tiered Justice System
Maybe we should wait until the criminal investigation is over before we hand out radio shows. Maybe facing consequences should come before rehabilitation tours.Epstein files shine light on power networks: Revisit BlazeTV's 'The Coverup' on the same corruption web
On January 30, the U.S. Department of Justice dropped over 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents, as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump in November 2025. This massive data dump includes roughly 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
These revelations seem to confirm what independent voices like Glenn Beck and Matt Kibbe have warned about for years: a shadowy cabal of insiders wield tremendous power to shape how we think.
As the dust settles around this 2026 bombshell, it's the perfect time to revisit BlazeTV’s docuseries "The Coverup” — Matt Kibbe’s deep dive into a similar web of corruption: the COVID-19 pandemic.
Months before this latest Epstein file dump, Glenn Beck sat down with Kibbe to dissect the insidious links between COVID mandates, Russiagate hoaxes, and censorship to pinpoint the very same shadowy forces now spotlighted in the Epstein files.
“The same people and the same machine that weaponized the Russiagate story and covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story are the same people in the [COVID-19] apparatus,” Kibbe told Glenn.
With the Epstein files shining new light on long-hidden networks of power and influence, now is the time to watch BlazeTV’s "The Coverup" series. Go to faucicoverup.com to access the full series.
