Faced with Democratic opposition over a national election integrity bill, House Republicans are upping the ante instead of reflexively making concessions.
They passed the SAVE Act in April by a vote of 220-208, with all Republicans voting yes and all but four Democrats voting no. That bill would require proof of citizenship for all new voter registrations.
Two of the Democrats who voted yes, U.S. Representatives Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, represent South Texas border districts.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Only Citizens Voting Isn’t “Jim Crow”—It’s Democracy
Written by Michale Barone
George Orwell was on to it almost 80 years ago — the problem of below-replacement level birth rates. In a short book written for the Britain in Pictures series in 1947, written just as Britain was emerging from wartime rigors into an uncharted postwar future, Orwell noted that despite an upward blip in birth rates during the war, “the general curve is downward. The position is not quite so dangerous as it is sometimes said to be, but can only be put right if the curve not only rises sharply but does so within ten or at most twenty years.”… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Demographic Collapse: Who Inherits the Future?
Written by Dr. Everett Piper
Last week, a friend sent me an article and asked for my opinion. The author of the essay in question is a “progressive Christian” named Tripp Fuller. His long, verbose column is titled “Bonhoeffer’s Warning, Unheeded: The Moral Collapse of White Evangelicalism.”
Painful though it was, I read all 7,300 words of Mr. Fuller’s musings, and here is what he said in a nutshell: Today’s “White evangelicals” are like the German Christians of the 1930s, and, like them, we are “sequentially complicit” in the evils of a Nazi regime.… Continue Reading

When leftist protesters stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, during a Sunday service on Jan. 19, they chanted and screamed. Some of them told the frightened children that their parents were Nazis. Others blocked parents from reaching their children to remove them from the chaos.
Former CNN newsman Don Lemon, who claimed to have been an observer, insisted that the mob — and he — had a First Amendment right to disrupt the service.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on When Leftists Invade the Sanctuary
Written by David E. Smith
Christian conservatives across the nation clearly see what the biased media refuses to report: leftists are intentionally escalating tensions in Minnesota, with some openly advocating violence, and even armed confrontation, against federal agents. Antifa thugs have gone so far as to call for a “guerrilla war.”
Irresponsible politicians like Governor JB Pritzker, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are in lockstep agreement with their counterparts in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S.… Continue Reading

What happened at Cities Church last Sunday should matter to all of us. It isn’t possible to outline all of the ways in this [article], and there are many others providing helpful perspectives. But if you haven’t read and shared the public statement issued by the leadership at Cities Church, I encourage you to do so. You can read their statement here.
Let me add a few related thoughts to consider as well.… Continue Reading

Illinoisans are about to feel another hit to their wallets—this time in the name of “clean” energy.
Gov. JB Pritzker and his Democratic supermajorities have pursued the unrealistic goal of 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2045 with little regard for cost or reliability. What lawmakers failed to disclose when they passed Illinois’ original clean-energy law is now painfully hitting home with no relief in sight. These foolish policies will cost taxpayers billions.… Continue Reading

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the cases of
Little v. Hecox and
West Virginia v. B.P.J. The plaintiffs are suing Idaho and West Virginia, respectively, for enacting laws that expressly prohibit men from competing in women’s athletics.
During oral arguments, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed her concerns. More specifically, she asked attorneys to defend why their clients are telling boys who pretend to be girls that they may not participate in girls’ sports.

You just knew when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester Renee Good tragically died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 that the media would turn her into the next George Floyd.
Floyd, whose asphyxiation death under the knee of a police officer triggered the 2020 anti-police riots that took at least 25 lives and caused $2 billion in damage, has since been virtually deified. Minneapolis has named a square after him and erected a “living memorial” featuring art installations, including a raised-fist sculpture, in his honor.… Continue Reading

In a moment when Washington D.C. spends with reckless abandon and our national debt towers above $38 trillion, it’s past time we confront a glaring inconsistency in our federal welfare system. Last week, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act — a bill rooted in fiscal responsibility, the rule of law, and basic fairness to American taxpayers.
In an interview with Real America’s Voice (RAV), U.S.… Continue Reading
