COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
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.
Freedom of Religion, but for Who? Part II
From Finland's courts convicting a bishop for publishing Christian theology to Canada criminalizing scripture readings, the pattern is clear: Western governments are selectively targeting Christian speech while ignoring far more inflammatory rhetoric from other belief systems.
American Blood on the Hands of American Leftists
From Sheridan Gorman to Laken Riley to Kate Steinle, the names of Americans killed by criminal illegal immigrants fill 49 pages. Allen West argues that every politician who supports sanctuary policies shares responsibility for their blood.
Texas Taxpayer Funded Islamic Jihadist Education
A federal judge orders Texas to include Islamic schools in its voucher program, raising urgent questions about taxpayer funding, the Muslim Brotherhood's stated goals, and the advance of civilization-jihad in America.
What Type of People are Against the SAVE America Act?
Over 80% of Black Americans support photo ID to vote, so who exactly is opposing the SAVE America Act, and why? The same people demanding "no Jim Crow 2.0" have no problem with TSA and airlines requiring ID from this Black man. The new white supremacists aren't wearing hoods; they're standing at podiums arguing that People of Color are too incompetent to obtain a picture ID.
In Memoriam: Jack Park, ACRU Senior Legal Advisor (1954–2026)
The American Constitutional Rights Union mourns the passing of Jack Park, our Senior Legal Advisor, who died on March 16, 2026. He was 71 years old.
A Mother’s Grief and a State’s Betrayal
Allen West met Patty Morin, mother of murdered Maryland mom Rachel Morin, and asks why Governor Moore's first legislative priority was banning the very law enforcement cooperation that brought her daughter's killer to justice.
Are We There Yet?
“Are we there yet?” may be funny coming from kids on a road trip, but it is a dangerous way to think about war and national security. Using a family travel story as the setup, this piece argues that America’s struggle with Iran cannot be measured in days or weeks, but in decades of aggression, missed opportunities, and the long game our enemies are already playing.
Shall Not Be Infringed
What happens when the state that gave America James Madison considers legislation that critics say undermines the very rights he helped enshrine? A proposed Virginia law would ban the future sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines, igniting a fierce debate over the Second Amendment, constitutional limits, and the role of government in regulating arms. Supporters argue the measure promotes public safety. Opponents say it contradicts both the historical purpose of the amendment and Supreme Court rulings affirming an individual right to keep and bear arms. With the bill now sitting on the governor’s desk, the controversy highlights a broader national clash over constitutional interpretation, public safety, and the enduring meaning of the right to bear arms.
Who Owns the American Story?
When $24 billion in foreign sovereign wealth fund money backs a deal to control a third of America's entertainment market, that's not just a business transaction. Allen West makes a compelling case that the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger is a cultural inflection point we're sleepwalking through. Our stories shape our values, and whoever controls those stories wields real power.
Accountability, the New Political Buzzword
What does “affordability” really mean? Using Abraham Lincoln’s famous warning that the same word can represent both liberty and tyranny, this commentary argues that today’s political push for “affordability” reflects competing visions of economic freedom, and a growing debate over whether government intervention actually makes life more affordable or simply expands control over it.
