Happy Victory Day for World War II, for those who join President Trump in the new style.  Or, if you prefer, Happy VE-Day.  The “V” in VE-Day does, after all, stand for “Victory.”    Since it’s Trump, it comes with controversy. In...

The most egregious tax, many argue, is the income tax established in the 16th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. While the federal government needs revenue to get rid of the...

America was designed by our Founding Fathers, as spelled out in the Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, and U.S. Constitution, as a constitutionally limited republic.

Historically in the U.S., that...

Presidents, not...

Government education of children funded by taxes represents an unconstitutional establishment of religion and as such, it violates the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment and protections for religious liberty, warns Liberty University Law Professor Jeffrey Tuomala in a powerful new paper.
