Did the Church abandon historic Christian teaching on mass migration and national borders? This commentary examines the growing conflict between modern church officials who support large-scale migration and traditional Christian ideas about national identity, citizenship, borders, social unity, and the common good. The video discusses arguments attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas concerning migrants, citizenship, loyalty, and the relationship between newcomers and their adopted nations. It also explores how the Bible and Catechism are interpreted in debates about nations, patriotism, immigration, and the responsibilities of governments toward their own citizens. Can Western civilization and Christian culture withstand mass migration from non-Christian countries? Or does Christian morality require a more welcoming approach to migrants and refugees? The discussion challenges political photo opportunities and partisan messaging while asking whether church leadership is addressing the concerns of ordinary Christians in the pews. #CortesInvestigates #Christianity #WesternCivilization #Immigration

The AI revolution may be real but that does not mean the AI bubble cannot burst. The internet transformed the world exactly as many people predicted, yet the dot-com bubble still collapsed. This video explores why the same thing could happen with artificial intelligence: AI can deliver on many of its promises while investors still overvalue companies, misallocate capital, and push the market too far ahead of reality. We compare the current AI boom with the dot-com crash, examining market bubbles, technology stocks, investor psychology, speculation, and the role of human emotion in financial markets. There is also a major difference between the dot-com era and today: debt. The United States entered the 2000s with a relatively balanced federal budget, while today’s economy carries significantly more debt. That could make a future AI-driven market correction more complicated and potentially more damaging. Is AI overhyped, or is the technology genuinely revolutionary? The answer may be both. #CortesInvestigates #AI #MarketCrash #aiinnovation

AI vs Dot Com Why the Next Market Crash Could Be Worse

Patriots before you can win, you must know your enemy. And the enemy is not a political party with different tax rates or a slightly different foreign policy. These are Marxist radicals who fundamentally hate the United States, and the sooner we come to terms with that reality, the sooner we can fight back and save this Republic. In this video, we break down the truth about the modern Democrat Party: who they really are, what they truly believe, and why it's not enough to simply oppose them. Patriots must earn power through the ballot box and deploy it with intensity and purpose. What We Cover: - Why today's Democrats are NOT your grandfather's political opposition - The Marxist radical ideology driving the modern Democrat Party - Why patriots in every area of life must know their enemy - How to earn power at the ballot box and use it to save America - The urgency of acting NOW before it's too late This is not a partisan debate. This is a battle for the soul of America. Are you ready?

COLLISION COURSE 🚨 Illegal Migrant Truckers - Full Documentary

For almost a year, my monthly scientific polling in Georgia had delivered nothing but bad news for Republicans. Until now. The latest poll, taken just before the 4th of July, shows a material rebound for President Trump in Georgia, with Republican Jackson leading in the governor's race and Mike Collins running in a highly competitive race against radical Jon Ossoff for US Senate. So what changed? The data points to two major drivers: - A surge of patriotism around America 250 and Independence Day - Real economic relief: oil prices collapsed from over $100 down to $70, and Americans are feeling it at the gas pump and in the grocery store This is not spin. This is objective, scientific polling and for the first time in months, the numbers are moving in the right direction. The lesson is clear: if Republicans can deliver peace in the Middle East and keep prices down, they have a genuine fighting chance in the 2026 midterms. The data shows us the way forward. Let's win in November. #SteveCortes #Politics #Georgia #Trump #Midterms2026

COLLISION COURSE 🚨 Illegal Migrant Truckers - Full Documentary

The Pacific Palisades fire was totally preventable and the failure to rebuild since is inexcusable. This documentary exposes how Gavin Newsom turned the California Dream into Newsom's Nightmare. Under Gavin Newsom's leadership, California has the highest poverty rate in America. Amazing places like Pacific Palisades burned to ashes because of his corruption and neglect. Since the inferno, there's been almost zero movement on the rebuild due to the dysfunction of Newsom and his political allies. This short documentary takes you to the scene with vivid, startling images and on-the-ground reporting. Featured guests include Kurt Schlichter, Susan Crabtree, Lauren Gruel, and Kristina Irwin — some of the brightest minds exposing California's wildfire crisis and political failures. The Pacific Palisades fire tragedy didn't have to happen. The California wildfire crisis is a direct result of California mismanagement at the highest levels. And now, Gavin Newsom is running for president — he wants to bring his California misery to all of America. Watch, share, and decide for yourself. #cortesinvestigates #pacificpalisadesfire #california #gavinnewsom #californiafires

Gavin Newsom Destroyed the California Dream: The Palisades Fire Tragedy

America's test scores are at historic lows and the system tasked with fixing it is quietly lowering the bar instead. This documentary investigates the collapse of public education across America, focusing on Wisconsin, once a model for public schooling, where reading and math scores have fallen years below grade level. We uncover how the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction responded to a crisis not by raising standards, but by rewriting what "passing" means. What we found: skyrocketing school budgets with plummeting outcomes, NDAs handed out at a taxpayer-funded conference at a water park, the widest Black-white achievement gap in the nation, and parents from Milwaukee to Eau Claire who are fighting back. Inside this documentary: - How reading and math test scores hit historic lows across the U.S. - Why Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction lowered academic standards - The truth about education spending and why more money isn't helping students - Parents, homeschoolers, and school board members speak out - Why the 2026 Wisconsin governor's race could change everything for education Follow on X: https://x.com/CortesSteve Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steve.cortes.413204 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevecortes_/ Subscribe on Substack: https://www.cortesinvestigates.com/ Comment your thoughts or questions below. #cortesinvestigates #educationcrisis #publicschools #wisconsin #literacycrisis
