Even before Charlie Kirk had been pronounced dead, the narrative apparatus of the Left was in full gear trying to blame the assassination on the Right. Once it became clear that the shooter was a standard-issue leftist, the narrative shifted to “this is a both-sides problem.” But before Kirk had been laid the rest, the experts and researchers had been mobilized to assert that the original claims, if not accurate, were consistent with a pattern in which political violence in America is largely a right-wing problem. Having spent my career in academia sopping up such unctuous claims, let me assure you that this is complete nonsense. Political violence in America is mostly a problem of the Left.

Begin with some bright, shining facts. There were two assassination attempts against President Trump in the recent election and none against his opponents. The California gunman arrested outside Brett Kavanaugh’s home in 2022 planned to assassinate three conservative Supreme Court justices, not any liberal ones. Attempts on the lives of members of Congress this century have resulted in one Republican (Steve Scalise) and one Democrat (Gabby Giffords) suffering serious injuries.

The most recent violence against elected politicians — the murder of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the serious injuring of State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in June — was committed by a deranged loner with no political motives, despite efforts by the Left to portray it as a political act of the Right.

(Worthy Insights) – The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodegenerative disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.

Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion of President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Tylenol taken in pregnancy and early infancy has driven rises in autism. But one stakeholder has for years viewed the evidence as credible enough to act upon, at least privately: The makers of Tylenol. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – There is a “generational reversal” underway, according to researchers studying church attendance, and it’s sparking a deepening curiosity about Scripture.

Newly released data from the Barna Group shows Gen Zers and millennials have overtaken older generations, often attending church services more regularly than their parents and even grandparents.

On top of that, as CBN News previously reported, Bible sales are skyrocketing. Sales of the good book jumped 22% from 2023 to 2024, sparking what The Wall Street Journal is dubbing “a golden age of Bible publishing.”

With those stats in mind, CBN Films, in partnership with Fathom Events, is releasing, “Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament,” in theaters Nov. 2, 3, and 5. The movie explores how the four Gospels of the New Testament were written, preserved, and passed down throughout history, making them the most influential spiritual accounts ever recorded.

(Worthy Insights) – Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia.  

Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump’s first term.  

Much of their reporting has been debunked – and shown to be part of a smear campaign by high-ranking officials to undermine Trump, but the identities of those leakers have remained hidden because of the government’s apparent unwillingness to expose its own and the refusal of reporters to identify the people who misled them and the nation.

(Worthy Insights) – Athletes behind a growing spiritual movement on the University of Pittsburgh campus say the “presence of God was tangible” during a recent first-of-its-kind evangelistic event last week.

Nearly 600 people attended “Pitt for Jesus” at Mazeroski Field in Oakland, PA, last Thursday to worship, hear the Gospel, and have their lives transformed by the love of God, “Pitt Purpose” reported. By the end of the night, more than 65 people surrendered their lives to Jesus, 80 were baptized, and “countless others experienced freedom from addictions and strongholds right at the altar.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The life and legacy of Charlie Kirk were honored at a memorial service in Arizona on Sunday, in one of the largest memorials ever held for a private citizen.

The 73,000-seat State Farm Stadium in Glendale began filling shortly after the doors opened at 8 a.m., with 20,000 more attending in overflow venues.

Local law enforcement estimated that some 200,000 people tried to attend, some who traveled across the country, and millions streamed the service online and saw it on TV. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Surveys show just shy of one-third of Americans trust the news media, a staggering decline from half a century ago, when more than 70% of U.S. adults believed reporters to be fair and honest.

Certainly, some of that can be attributed to the decentralization of media (factor in the rise of social media) and the hyper-partisan nature of culture over the last decade or so. But those things alone — while contributing factors — aren’t driving the shortage of confidence people have in the news media.

Famed investigative journalist Lee Strobel, the erstwhile Chicago Tribune reporter who rose to fame when he (unsuccessfully) tried to factually disprove the evidence for Jesus and ended up becoming a Christian, recently appeared on CBN’s “Faith in Culture” Podcast, where he asserted it’s the motivation that drives people toward journalism that has changed — and not for the better.

(Worthy Insights) – The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) delivered a body blow to the corporate media industrial complex’s narrative of a robust Biden economy. In its preliminary benchmark revision, the agency slashed its estimate of nonfarm employment growth from March 2024 to March 2025 by a whopping 911,000 jobs — a downward adjustment of 0.6 percent out of 159 million jobs.

Nearly lost in the BLS news report and in the major media is the fact that the revision wipes out half of the new jobs reported through Biden’s last year in office, down from approximately 1.8 million to around 900,000. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Christian minister Edward “Ted” Barham says he will not respond with hate after Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told him he was “not welcome” during a heated city council exchange over a controversial honorary street sign naming that went viral.

In a new interview with Fox News Digital, Barham said the moment has only strengthened his resolve to speak out about freedom of speech and freedom of faith.

“I did not respond to the mayor with hate. I said, God bless you,” Barham said, adding that he takes seriously Jesus’ command to “love your enemies, bless those who curse you.” He said the incident was not isolated, pointing to earlier clashes with city officials over his public ministry.

(Worthy Insights) – Leaders overseeing a faith-based leadership and business event are watching something phenomenal taking place in stadiums around the country. Hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of attendees, are giving their lives to Jesus in what they are calling “a move of God.”

Life Surge gathers thousands of people from around the country to “learn why and how to create and multiply financial resources for Kingdom Impact,” according to their website.

Joe Johnson founded the for-profit organization that invites prominent faith speakers and artists, such as Priscilla Shirer, Tim Tebow, and Chris Tomlin. Additionally, it is known to attract well-known business leaders like Robert Herjavec from Shark Tank and Marcus Lemonis from The Profit. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – It may sound like science fiction, but Israeli researchers say the world could soon witness a paraplegic walking again—thanks to a groundbreaking treatment developed at Tel Aviv University and commercialized by the biotech company Matricelf.

Led by Prof. Tal Dvir, the team is preparing for the world’s first human spinal cord implant procedure designed to restore mobility in people living with paralysis.

“The basis of our technology is to create tissue out of the patient’s own cells,” Matricelf CEO Gil Hakim explained during a recording of the ILTV Podcast. “The spinal cord tissue connects between the brain and the muscles. And in cases where there is a severe, traumatic injury, like car accidents or others, there is a cut in this connection. We take the patient’s cells and create a micro spinal cord and we place it inside the area where there is a cut or an injury… It connects naturally with the existing host. And these connections regain for the patient all movement and function.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The biggest story in the world over the weekend — on social media, that is; legacy corporate state media ignored it entirely because it’s inconvenient to their narrative — was the unprovoked plunging of a blade into the carotid artery of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee by a hulking thug with 14 prior arrests for violent crime to his name.

In more recently released audio to accompany the video, the killer can be heard congratulating himself: “I got that white girl.”

Unsurprisingly, but still shocking to the conscience, BLM-esque activists sympathetic not to the victim but to the cold-blooded murderer launched not one but two GoFundMe fundraisers in the immediate aftermath, even though video of the assault is widely available on social media and depicts a pre-meditated and, again, wholly unprovoked attack on an innocent and defenseless woman who appears to have barely weighed 100 pounds.

(Worthy Insights) – U.S. job growth in the year through March was much weaker than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revisions released on Tuesday.

The U.S. economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs in the year ending in March — or an average of almost 76,000 fewer each month — according to the BLS’ preliminary benchmark revision. The report comes after job growth slowed in August, with the U.S. economy adding just 22,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, according to data released Friday by BLS. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Brand new research from Barna shows a shocking resurgence in church attendance among Millennials and Gen Z. The statistics are wildly encouraging.

According to Barna, “For the first time in decades, younger adults—Gen Z and Millennials—are now the most regular churchgoers, outpacing older generations, who once formed the backbone of church attendance.”

​​Daniel Copeland, Barna’s vice president of research, explained, “It’s typically older adults who are the most loyal churchgoers. This data represents good news for church leaders and adds to the picture that spiritual renewal is shaping Gen Z and Millennials today.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – In an exclusive interview with CBN News’ Paul Petitte, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee discusses the importance of the Sept. 9th United Nations General Assembly gathering in New York, and why countries wanting to declare a Palestinian state is an “insane” move and a “futile effort.”

Huckabee explains what needs to change for Israel to win the global public relations battle and why the war against Hamas is a fight against “the most demonic forces ever unleashed on this earth.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
