Celebrating Elissa Slotkin’s Shameless Speech

Written by Tim Graham

Everyone knows that winning the assignment of officially responding to a State of the Union speech can be a curse, not a blessing. But it depends on which party is responding.

Last year, the media ripped apart freshman U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) as a ditz. PBS analyst Jonathan Capehart made a “Legally Blonde” joke: “After watching Sen. Britt, I am just sitting here thinking what in the Elle Woods was that?”… Continue Reading

The Importance of Retaking Institutions

Written by Victor Joecks

Lasting political change doesn’t come from winning elections but reshaping institutions.

On Feb. 26, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, issued a stunning announcement.

“I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages,” he wrote on X. “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

Yes, that’s the same Washington Post editorial board that attacked Donald Trump last year for promising tax cuts and reduced regulations.… Continue Reading

Democrats: Out of Touch and Loving It

Written by Robert Knight

A star was born last week in the great state of Maine. State Representative Laurel Libby, a Republican state legislator from the Auburn area, refused to apologize for a social media post criticizing transgender athletes.

Her post showed two photos of the same male pole-vaulter. One was taken at a boys’ event that he didn’t win, and the other showed him atop the podium after winning a girls’ competition. Ms. Libby’s comment was:

“Another day, another instance of an unremarkable male athlete (who couldn’t win against other males) dominating girls’ sports.”

“Botched Care” at Planned Parenthood

Written by David E. Smith

The New York Times recently published a revealing article, titled “Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis.” In her article, author Katie Benner details a litany of alarming problems at Planned Parenthood clinics across the U.S. The report asserts that many clinics face a high level of staff turnover that is fueled by substandard pay and poor working conditions.

Drawing from clinic documents, legal filings, and interviews with over 50 current and former executives, consultants, and medical staff, the article highlights a pattern of financial strain, understaffing, and inadequate training that has compromised patient care.… Continue Reading

Suddenly, Liberal Christians Want To Get Political

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

For the past two weeks, the news headlines have been replete with stories of liberal church leaders condemning the Trump administration for its intent to enforce America’s immigration laws. Here are some examples.

Christianity Today: “Trump’s First Week Sends Shudders Through Immigrant Churches and Ministries.” This article accuses the Trump administration of plunging multiple communities across the nation into fear and anxiety.

Genocide Watch: “Pope Francis Condemns U.S. Deportation Policies, Directly Criticizing Trump’s Immigration Actions.”… Continue Reading

How Trump Can Dismantle The Imperial Judiciary Once & For All

Written by Daniel Horowitz

When Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 78 that the U.S. Supreme Court would wield “neither force nor will” over politics, he never envisioned the judiciary having the final say on every political decision in the country. Now imagine his reaction if he were told during the American Revolution that, in the future, a single lower-court judge could unilaterally grant citizenship to illegal immigrants’ children, override the will of elected branches, and even force the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to maintain information about transgenderism on its website.… Continue Reading

NPR Is National Public Relations for the War on Trump

Written by Tim Graham

At the top of every hour, hundreds of taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio stations in 50 states transmit leftist public relations badly disguised as news. You can get talking points jammed in your ear on your rush-hour commute.

On the morning of Feb. 20, NPR anchor Korva Coleman promoted an anti-Trump lawsuit, and notice there are no labels for the activists. They’re just for “civil rights.” Coleman began:

“Civil rights groups are suing the Trump administration over executive orders they call illegal.

Holiness Matters. Let’s Talk About How Christians Change the World.

Written by Peter Heck

Forgive me if I’m late to the party, but I just became aware of a Christian preacher named James Murray who leads a congregation in Australia called Abide Church. A peripheral scan of their webpage indicates the church has multiple campuses, but again I know next to nothing about it.

What I do know is that a clip Murray just posted to his Instagram account is one that resonated with me, and is a message Christians the world over need to hear.… Continue Reading

Time For ‘Never Trumpers’ to Admit They Were Wrong About Donald Trump

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In 2016, I was adamantly opposed to President Trump. When he spoke at events I attended, I did not applaud. When others stood in line to take pictures with him, I refused to do the same. I was indignant, self-righteous and smug when I was with peers who supported him.

When a small cadre of Catholic and evangelical “thought leaders” and I were invited to meet with him to present our concerns, I was curt and blunt.… Continue Reading
