COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
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.
The Ghosts of 1938
A signed “deal” with Iran, sold as a path to peace, looks a lot like Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 agreement with Hitler. Allen West argues America stopped short of victory and tossed a terror-sponsoring regime a lifeline, warning that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
What is Election Day?
When ballots keep appearing for a week after the polls close, what does "Election Day" even mean? Allen West on California’s endless counting, the "margin of cheating," and why the ACRU is backing a Supreme Court case to give elections a hard deadline.
Military Service is a Privilege, not a Constitutional Right
A D.C. Circuit panel just ruled that the transgender military ban likely violates equal protection. Allen West argues they have it exactly backward: serving in uniform was never a constitutional right. It's a privilege, and military readiness, not ideology, decides who earns it.
The Longest Day
French families still salute the English Channel in WWII uniforms. American campuses chant for terrorists. LTC West takes 25 students back to Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.
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.
