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

Comments Off on How Trump Can Dismantle The Imperial Judiciary Once & For All
Written by Daniel Horowitz
Should we allow people in the United States to say hateful things? Absolutely — that is the essence of America. We cannot start down the slippery slope of punishing people for their beliefs, as we saw under the Biden administration with the treatment of January 6 defendants.
Does that mean we should admit foreigners who hold pro-terrorist beliefs and spread them on social media? Absolutely not! Freedom of speech is a right, but no foreigner has an affirmative right to immigrate.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on A ‘Free Speech’ Right to Immigrate? Don’t Be Absurd!
Written by David E. Smith
In a Jan. 26 interview on CBS “Face the Nation,” left-wing program host Margaret Brennan asks Vice President JD Vance, “Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?”
The Vice President quickly points out that protecting America and Americans, including migrants here legally, is the Trump Administration number one priority. And when Brennan highlighted the concerns of the U.S.… Continue Reading

Do we, as a society, hold the inviolable right to control our sovereignty and, through our elected representatives, prevent individuals from asserting immigration and citizenship rights against our will? Or do foreign nationals and governments possess the authority to assert jurisdiction in our country, obtaining citizenship and its accompanying rights — without recourse for our citizens to oppose it, even prospectively? Those are the key questions before us as we navigate our journey as a nation-state.… Continue Reading

Written by David E. Smith
The day after Donald J. Trump took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, left-wing federal lawmakers gathered for a press conference to decry the new direction of the nation. According to their own website, the “Congressional Progressive Caucus is comprised of nearly 100 progressive members from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate…” and exist to “fight economic and social inequality, and advance civil liberties.”… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Congressional Progressives Throw a Tantrum
Written by Robert Knight
President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration’s train wreck.
Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.… Continue Reading

The Laken Riley Act, introduced by U.S Senator Katie Boyd (R-AL) in the Senate (S.5) and U.S. Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) in the House (H.R. 29), aims to increase immigration enforcement. Once signed into law, it will mandate the detention of illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. It also allows states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement that result in harm to the state or its residents.… Continue Reading

The Democrats’ “resistance” to the incoming Trump administration and Republican-led Congress is quickly taking shape.
The usual left-wing media smear machine is in full gear, taking aim at several of Mr. Trump’s nominees.
But the most interesting action is in California, where Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state’s would-be savior, is acting as if a foreign power will soon occupy America.
A couple of weeks ago, he called a special session to ask the Democratic-dominated Legislature for $25 million to create a fund for lawsuits against Mr.… Continue Reading

Who is the victim and who is the aggressor in a conflict between Bashar al-Assad’s Alawites and Sunni “rebel” terrorists in Syria? What happens when ISIS clashes with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, other al-Qaeda factions, Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army fighters, and pockets of Hezbollah militias thrown into the mix?
Under Joe Biden’s insane refugee policies, both sides can claim credible fears of religious or ethnic persecution from their rivals. As a result, we’ve allowed individuals from all these warring groups into our country to live as our neighbors.… Continue Reading
