The Left Wants To Remake America In Its Own Image

Written by Robert Knight

Colorado and Vermont are unusually beautiful states renowned for scenery, skiing and, in Vermont’s case, cheese and ice cream.

These Democratic-dominated enclaves also attract weird and destructive people who somehow find their way into power. California does not have a monopoly on this.

How else to explain their ongoing war on free speech, common sense and Christianity? Colorado, which was slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court for persecuting Christian cake baker Jack Phillips, went after him again before the state Supreme Court finally ruled in his favor.… Continue Reading

Urge Congress to Pass The Dismantle DEI Act

Written by David E. Smith

The “Dismantle DEI Act,” introduced by U.S. Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) and U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), aims to eliminate all federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and funding.

This legislation complements President Trump’s Executive Order issued on January 20th, and would codify into federal law President Trump’s agenda dismantling DEI programs across the federal government. This legislation ensures that Trump’s actions are permanently enshrined in law, preventing future administrations from reviving these divisive and wasteful policies.… Continue Reading

Public Trust in Media Dies in ‘Groupthink’

Written by Tim Graham

Journalists are terrible at hiding their desire to run our democracy, using their platforms to direct history to the “right side.” That badly disguised lust for power creates an audience problem, where the people resent the media’s imperious lectures about which side they are supposed to favor — and if they don’t, they are uneducated, racist nincompoops.

Axios.com co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen appeared on the podcast “Honestly with Bari Weiss.”… Continue Reading

Global Leftist Elites Are Targeting Conservative and Populist Leaders

Written by Robert Knight

When Russian leader Vladimir Putin jails or poisons rivals or journalists or even invades a neighboring country, it’s not all that shocking.

After all, the Russian president was a high-ranking agent in the Soviet KGB and has shown little inclination to change his stripes while presiding over the kleptocracy that is modern Russia.

However, countries with actual self-governing systems are not supposed to resort to unsavory tactics. Leaders are not supposed to consolidate power by arresting opponents or crippling them with lawfare.… Continue Reading

Unelected Judges Trying to Diminish Trump’s Executive Weight

Written by Robert Knight

President Donald Trump is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice John Roberts and some of the federal judiciary.

Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.

Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.

Mr. Trump says that this is nonsense, that these judges have gone well beyond their authority to hear cases and are trying to dictate national policy.… Continue Reading

Why We Need to Abolish The Department of Education

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

We all know something is desperately wrong with our society and that the bad behavior we see in our daily news must have a cause. We understand that the juvenile antics we are watching in our nation’s capital did not just spring out of thin air. We intuitively know that the immaturity so pervasive in our communities doesn’t come from a vacuum. Millions of us understand that these childish pouts of adults who should know better have a source and that our government-run schools are the seedbed of our cultural crisis.… Continue Reading

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.”
