Political Campaigning

Good Friday means different things to different people. For me, it’s the day I met my only pet. This was no puppy, iguana, or goldfish. In fact, as a little boy, I had a rooster and, thus, remain partial to these majestic creatures. My family and I named him Chickadee, after hilarious curmudgeon W.C. Fields’ film My Little Chickadee. I...

Demographics are destiny. That idea lay at the heart of the 2002 book The Emerging Democratic Majority, which argued that racial-demographic transformation, among other factors, was producing a political realignment that favored America’s Blue Team. The authors—John Judis and Ruy Teixeira—were pleased with their findings. All good liberals were. The book freaked out Republicans and gave Democrats confidence that irreversible...

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. The queue stacks up at the High Court with appeals of judicial activist rulings against Trump.Liberals are shrewd enough to file their lawsuits against Trump in the U.S. Court of Appeals...

President Donald Trump's mandate from the voters undoubtedly gives him wide latitude to close the border to illegal aliens, which he has done. Border crossings are down 90 percent and more illegal aliens were arrested in Trump’s first 50 days than across Joe Biden's final year in office. Now, many in the America First movement are asking, “What about reducing...

With federal lawsuits flying and Democrat lawmakers vowing to protect the U.S. Department of Education at all costs, President Donald Trump’s long-awaited executive order on education is making big waves. But it doesn’t do what countless conservatives think it does.It is true that the workforce is being drastically downsized. However, contrary to many of the superficial headlines portraying the historic...

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...

Reports variously celebrating or mourning the alleged death of the U.S. Department of Education at the hands of President Donald Trump are circulating widely. But as with early reports of Mark Twain’s alleged demise, the news may be slightly exaggerated.Although the administration appears to be moving in that direction, truly getting the federal government out of education is a long...

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...

The Socratic method with meaningful questions is the best way to bypass emotional triggers when speaking with indoctrinated Democrats and victims of propaganda, explained self-described “former Swamp creature” Lisa Ekman in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. Ekman, whose new book Deprogramming Democrats and unEducating the Elites offers insight into this process, also...

To tariff, or not to tariff, that is the question to which President Donald Trump has, in recent days, given different answers. On Monday, hours before tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports were scheduled to take effect, Trump paused them for 30 days. The next day, yet another tariff, this one on goods from China, came into force. Before Trump...

New Jersey is fast becoming an international laughingstock as news of its recent decision to end the basic-skills testing requirement for teachers makes international headlines. But of course, this should not be surprising: reading, writing, and math are hardly important when the goal is to dumb-down and indoctrinate rather than educate children. Just this month, a new first highlighted by The...

While Americans were focused on the weaponization of federal law enforcement and the justice system, the Biden administration was also quietly but ruthlessly weaponizing the U.S. Department of Education against Christian institutions as well.

BAKU, Azerbaijan — It’s the climate, stupid! The increasingly discredited hypothesis that human emissions of CO2 are driving dangerous global warming underpins almost every key element of the globalist agenda. With the election of Donald Trump, that agenda now stands at an historic crossroads.  In the years to come, there are two possible futures. In one, humanity will face global totalitarian...

In winning reelection, Donald Trump lost the Hispanic vote by a much smaller margin than he and other Republican candidates lost it in the past. According to exit polls, Hillary Clinton won Hispanics 66–28 when she faced Trump in 2016, but this year Kamala Harris won the group by just 52–46. Contradicting the Republican National Committee’s 2013 “autopsy,” which claimed...

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...
