American Constitution

The 20-day clock began running on Easter Monday for a conclave to convene to select a successor to Pope Francis. Liberals around the world are intensely focused on this process, and conservatives should be too.Fortunately, the conclave meets, discusses, and votes entirely in secret, just as our Constitutional Convention was in 1787 to write our U.S. Constitution. This denies the liberal media...

The American people are drained by taxes. From property and personal property tax, sales tax, and income tax, to name a few, all levels of government are overstepping their bounds. 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. To maintain that system, representatives are elected by an informed and inspired citizenry. This requires a shared moral compass and a fixed standard of what truth is and is not. Historically in the U.S., that...

Suddenly the Supreme Court has a pile of cases that could decide the future of the MAGA movement, on everything from deportation to transgender policy to firing federal workers.

On February 24, 2025, Texas Congressman Jodey Arrington introduced a resolution, “Calling an Article V Convention for proposing a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the United States Constitution and stipulating ratification by a vote of We the People, and for other purposes,” which was referred to the committee on the judiciary.

With many elections decided today by fewer than 1% of votes, election integrity has become more important than ever. Republican state legislatures should be taking decisive action to end opportunities for election fraud.Wyoming leads the way by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, as Trump seeks. Previously Kansas and Arizona enacted similar laws but those have been blocked or tied up in...

On Tuesday President Trump called for the impeachment of a federal judge, to which Chief Justice Roberts retorted by urging an appeal instead. Roberts is apparently panicked about the prospect of many impeachments raining down on federal judges based on shocking decisions.The recent interference by a federal court in D.C. with President Trump’s deportation of Venezuelan gang members is an egregious overreach by the federal judiciary. Presidents, not...

The Department of Justice has more than 10,000 attorneys standing around looking for something legitimate to do, now that the Trump Administration has shut down their liberal lawfare against conservatives. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has cost-cutters in every federal agency except, apparently, the DOJ.Some of the high-flying DOJ projects, including prosecuting candidate Trump and two of his loyal employees in Florida, have been properly...

The stunning realignment of world powers unfolding before our eyes is largely due to social issues, not economic or geopolitical ones. Europe and NATO are run by liberals who want to embrace the transgender ideology and hold gay pride parades, while Russia has said “nyet” to that while enacting pro-life laws instead.The liberal hatred of Russia predates the war in Ukraine, and many of the thousand-strong anti-JD Vance...

A valiant woman, who should be honored as a hero for her courage and willingness to speak out against the election fraud that she, herself, became aware of in her own county — is instead behind bars, sentenced to 9 years, another victim of lawfare, the weaponization of law, that became so rampant during the Biden administration’s justice Department.Tina Peters...

Senator Mike Lee of Utah and Congressman Chip Roy of Texas reintroduced legislation that would completely remove United States funding and involvement from the United Nations. With President Donald Trump, who has already taken steps to pull back from the globalist organization, there is a historic opportunity to get this done.Arguments for withdrawal are vast. Just consider the thousands of accusations against United Nations “peacekeeping”...

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. Tuomala’s unequivocal conclusion that state “education” must go joins a growing chorus of legal arguments seeking to fundamentally re-think American...

President Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100 on December 29, 2024, reported Andrew Muller on The Sentinel Report. But while many tributes are pouring out as a result of the news, President Carter was no friend of the U.S. Constitution and the America-first mentality. Some shortcomings include signing the Department of Education into existence and giving away the...

Legislation filed in the U.S. Senate last month would end the U.S. Department of Education, but it would also redistribute many of its key functions to other federal departments and agencies. Much of the remaining funding would simply be handed to the states as block grants with some strings attached. Echoing Ronald Reagan’s pledge, President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly promised...
