COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
The Enemy Has a Vote
Trump's "anti-weaponization" fund sounds good until you remember the Marxist left will inherit it. Allen West argues constitutional conservatives must wargame every new policy, because the enemy always has a vote.
The Art of War, Not the Deal
You don’t make deals with maniacal theocratic tyrants. You overwhelm them. Allen West lays out the strategic, operational, and tactical case for defeating Iran, not negotiating with it.
Honor Memorial Day
Memorial Day was never meant to be "happy." Allen West reminds Americans that bargains and BBQs miss the point entirely, the real meaning lives in the empty chairs at family tables and the white headstones in our Gardens of Stone.
Where Eagles Dare
As the 2026 midterms approach, Allen West argues conservatives can't win by hiding in their echo chambers. The fight runs straight through hostile college campuses and Mamdani's New York, and the choice is stark: collectivist servitude or rugged individualism.
What Regular Folks Want — and Why the Left Keeps Getting It Wrong
Thanks to the inexplicable soaring personal wealth of elected officials, leftists now must rally against billionaires instead of millionaires. It is a predicament caused by progressives who have made millions since entering public office.
Everything Ain’t Racism
The party that opposed the 15th and 19th Amendments, created the KKK, and built poll taxes is the same one screaming "racism" today. Allen West unpacks the hypocrisy and explains why the Supreme Court's Callais decision is putting an entire grievance industry on notice.
The Ties that Bond Marxists and Islamists
Mayor Mamdani vows to swap rugged individualism for collectivism. The Hamas charter calls for Israel's destruction and Jews worldwide. Allen West argues the tie that binds Marxists and Islamists is a shared war on Western civilization, and America is the front line.
The Leftist Hypocrisy with the Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais ended race-based congressional gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act, and the left is howling. The catch: the same party crying foul today is the one that made the VRA necessary in the first place.
Why Are Democrats Aiding and Abetting Iran?
From John Kerry thanking Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for “taking care” of captured U.S. Sailors, to Armed Services Committee Democrats now branding the Iran campaign a “quagmire,” LTC Allen West argues the pattern is unmistakable: the Democrat party is aiding and abetting the world’s number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism.
Intentional, Irresponsible Speech
From the WHCA dinner shooting to Charlie Kirk's assassination, the Marxist left's intentional, irresponsible rhetoric is no longer just talk. Allen West argues that until the bloviators are held accountable, the targets will only multiply.
The Delusional Marxist Tactic of Projection
The Marxist left has perfected a single tactic: accuse your opposition of exactly what you're doing. From open borders to redistricting to hate-group lists, the projection is constant, and the goal is to dehumanize anyone who refuses to play along.
Honor, Integrity, Patriotism: Allen West’s Challenge at the Center for American Values
Allen West at the Center for American Values in Pueblo: honor, integrity, and patriotism aren't inherited, they're taught. And the most important center for American values isn't a building, it's your home.
15 Arrests and the Fraud They Said Didn’t Exist
Fifteen Texas officials, including a county judge, city council members, and a former San Antonio mayoral candidate, have been indicted in one of the largest vote harvesting cases in recent state history. The Frio County indictments prove that organized election fraud is real, and that it targets the voters least equipped to fight back.
Marxist Leftists: The True Threat to our Representative Democracy
From the NPVIC to killing voter ID to blocking the SAVE America Act, Allen West argues the Marxist left has spent 50 years telling us exactly what they intend to do. The 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence may be the moment we finally listen.
American Values
After a visit to Pueblo's Center for American Values, Allen West asks what American values really mean in our 250th year, and draws a hard line between the individual sovereignty our founders affirmed and the collectivism today's Marxist left is selling.
Can We Be a Moral People?
Allen West invokes John Adams' warning that the Constitution was made only for a moral people, arguing that the resignations of Representatives Gonzales and Swalwell may signal Americans are finally demanding virtue and accountability from their elected officials.
Trust Iran? Why?
Allen West draws on Islamic history and the doctrine of taqiyya to argue that Iran’s ceasefire is a strategic ploy, not a path to peace. The real objective: cut Iran off from the energy resources that prop up its regime and hold the world hostage.
…Ensure Domestic Tranquility
Allen West argues that the Left’s efforts to shut down the Department of Homeland Security and defund law enforcement directly violate the Constitution’s imperative to “ensure domestic Tranquility,” with real consequences — including the cancellation of 130 training classes for thousands of state and local officers across the country.
The Black Lives that Don’t Matter
Allen West argues that twisting the 14th Amendment to justify birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants denigrates the amendment's original purpose, securing citizenship for descendants of freed slaves, and reveals which Black lives the left considers expendable.
The Senate Wants to Jail Mayors Who Obstruct Federal Law. Good.
Senator Graham's End Sanctuary Cities Act would jail officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. With over 200 sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with ICE, and real people dying as a result, the real outrage is that we need this law at all. The Constitution isn't a menu. You don't get to skip the parts you find inconvenient.
