COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
Crazy versus Common Sense
The 2026 midterms are being sold as “crazy versus common sense.” Allen West argues the real contest is Communism versus Constitutionalism, and that a DSA Senate nominee’s federal wealth registry is all the proof anyone should need.
Eighteen Years Ago
A DSA leader just admitted his organization's “hatred of the United States Constitution,” calling our rule of law an obstacle to revolution. Allen West traces that open sedition back eighteen years, to the night Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” America, and warns that the cancer injected then has now fully metastasized.
Essential Liberty in the American Republic
Allen West traces the American Republic's existential threat to a single misunderstanding: liberty. From COVID mandates to Flock cameras to red flag laws, the Leviathan keeps promising safety, and Americans keep paying for it with freedom.
Worshipping Moloch in Massachusetts
Massachusetts, the birthplace of American liberty, just legalized abortion up to the moment of birth. Allen West says the women who smiled and clapped at the signing weren't defending a right, they were tending an altar.
The Locust Effect
Locusts swarm from ruined ground to fertile ground and strip it bare. Allen West argues America is facing the human version, open-border Marxism, blue-state flight into Texas, and Islamist expansion, and names the one insecticide that still works: the U.S. Constitution.
Black Democrats Refuse to be the Useful Idiots of the Marxists
Black voters just handed the Democratic Socialists a string of defeats, from Abdul El-Sayed's near-loss in Michigan to Cori Bush's blowout in St. Louis. Allen West argues the message is clear: the Black community has seen this playbook before, and it isn't signing up to be anyone's useful idiots.
Are the Democratic Socialists of America a political party, or a seditious communist movement?
The DSA claims to be a political party, but it runs candidates in Democratic primaries, takes money from a China-based Marxist financier, and its members have pledged allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party. Allen West argues that makes it something other than a party, and raises a constitutional question about what oath its candidates could honestly swear.
Don’t Be Fooled, All the Democrats Are Marxists
The Democratic Socialists of America aren't the problem, they're just the honest ones. Allen West argues the "mainstream" Democrats want the exact same fundamental transformation, they've just learned to hide it better.
Selective Outrage and Free Speech
A Minnesota woman was convicted of disorderly conduct for using a racial slur in a park. Allen West argues the outrage is selective, the prosecution is a stretch, and the real casualty is a First Amendment that never came with an adjective in front of the word "speech."
What’s in a Name?
Stop calling them liberals. John Locke would not recognize a movement that says your rights come from government, not God. They are Marxists, and it is time we said so.
The Leftist Laughable Hypocrisy
When a Democratic Socialist claimed his parents fled American "imperialism" for a better life, Martha MacCallum exposed the contradiction at the heart of Marxism. Allen West on why the left's hypocrisy is a creed of ignorance, and why 2026 forces an ideological choice, not a political one.
The Unconstitutionality of the Democratic Socialists of America
The DSA's 2026 platform calls for abolishing the Senate, the presidency, the courts, and the Department of Defense. Allen West argues that's not a political platform, it's a blueprint for dismantling the Constitution, and no one who endorses it should swear an oath to defend it.
The Law
The left calls it a "fair share." Allen West calls it what Bastiat called it 175 years ago: legal plunder, and a direct assault on the Constitution.
The Enemies of American Independence
The oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, has no expiration date. Allen West on why the Marxists and their Islamist allies now winning American elections are precisely the domestic enemies the Founders warned us about, and why it's time to name them as such.
The Law of the Land in the Land of Lincoln
In the Land of Lincoln, the Law of the Land no longer holds. Allen West on how Chicago's sanctuary policies, its war on religious liberty, and its contempt for the Second Amendment reveal a Marxist left that honors the Constitution only when it's convenient, and the deadly cost when it doesn't.
Happy Independence Day, America, Courtesy of the Chinese Communist Party
As America marks its 250th Independence Day, the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling hands Beijing a gift, and China's new ethnic unity law makes its intent to dominate unmistakable. Allen West on why the CCP sits at the core of the 21st-century axis of evil.
An Un-Supreme Decision
Two rulings. One anniversary week. Allen West on why the Supreme Court's blessing of late mail ballots and birthright citizenship for non-citizens' children is an un-supreme way to say Happy 250th, America.
An American Homework Assignment
Before Lexington, Rhode Island patriots burned the HMS Gaspee. Allen West traces the road to 1776 from Luther to Locke, and hands America a 250th-birthday homework assignment: read the Declaration of Independence, and ask where we are in the cycle.
Behind Enemy Lines
Allen West files this Constitutional Brief from "behind enemy lines" in New England, where 250 years after the Revolution began, the "No Kings" crowd has embraced the very subjugation the Sons of Liberty died to throw off. From Massachusetts gun-control fights to Tim Kaine's claim that rights come from government, West argues the loyalists have won, and asks every American to read the Declaration aloud this July 4th.
SSDD
Allen West argues today's Democratic Socialists are reading from the same Marxist script King George III would recognize, an intellectually bankrupt ideology that has failed everywhere it's been tried.
