COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
Who Is Above the Law?
Politicians on the left often proclaim that “no one is above the law,” yet their actions suggest a very different standard when it comes to their own allies.
The Consequences of Leftist Lawlessness
The Marxist leftists are now up in rage and blaming the Trump administration and the ICE officers on the ground. They should stop their ranting and look in the mirror and realize that they are to blame for the death of this woman. Their leftist lawlessness is to blame.
Press Release: ACRU Backs Local Officers Working With ICE Under 287(g) to Serve and Protect
Constitutional Rights Organization supports Minnesota law enforcement as they uphold their oath to serve and protect through a formal partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program
LTC Allen West Visits Will Cain Show to Comment on Constitutional Military Actions
ACRU Executive Director Allen West visits the Will Cain Show to set the record straight on constitutional military actions. In politics, depending on who is in charge, the same actions just might be deemed constitutional or unconstitutional, depending on one's political opinions. Colonel West points out several recent examples of political hypocrisy to make the point.
Constitutional Hypocrisy
The military operation into Venezuela was indeed moral, just, and constitutional. Under Article II powers of the Constitution, the President, as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces, is charged with the protection of our Country.
What do Democrats Prioritize?
As we enter into 2026, the year that will welcome America's 250th celebration of Independence, and a critical midterm election, there is a simple question. What do Democrats prioritize?
Why America has the Second Amendment
19 April 1775. On that day, there was no American Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; matter of fact, there was no America. However, there was an understanding that armed individuals could be free citizens who attain liberty; disarmed individuals can only be subjects.
America’s 21st Century National Security Strategy
"A Nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, and heard in the very halls of government itself."
Leftists Say the Strangest Things
Leftists are always the first to scream that rejection of their absurd policies results in people dying. Yet, when Americans are actually dying, they refute the fact and seek to convince us that there is no threat or danger.
If We Care About Lawfare, Start With the DEI and Woke Requirements Being Imposed by State Judge Pickers
The Left’s relentless campaign of woke lawfare has been on my mind recently. As I wrote this fall in these very pages, “we are in the midst of a wave of lawfare against anything that resists the Left: the Trump Administration, industries that have refused to bend the knee to progressive policy preferences, and individuals who dare disagree or speak up against the Left’s worldview.”
The Party of No Responsibility
I learned an important maxim from my service in the Army: "Leaders take responsibility, they never take credit.” It is time that America stops selecting imbecilic, irresponsible charlatans as elected officials. It is time for the adults to step up, as responsible adults, and do what is necessary to lead this Nation. It starts with telling the American people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, or being gimme-crats.
Sympathy for the Devil
How does the United States deal with non-state, non-uniform unlawful combatants? Those who are part of a defined state's armed services, who wear a common uniform, and openly carry their weapons and arms are recognized by the Law of Land Warfare as "lawful combatants.” And, as lawful combatants, they are afforded what is termed "combatant privilege.” Go back and read about the Geneva Convention protections. However, non-state, non-uniform belligerents on the battlefield, terrorists, are not afforded combatant privilege because they are unlawful combatants.
Thanksgiving and Our First Freedom
Greetings y'all, I am praying that everyone will enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. This is one of those special American celebrations, traditions, but it is also imperative that we understand the real nature of why we should be giving thanks.
The Seditious and Treasonous Actions of Leftist Elected Officials
There has been much chatter about the video released by six Marxist leftist elected officials with military backgrounds. The group is composed of Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. In this now viral video, these useful idiots, Vladimir Lenin's term, make the insidious statement to the members of our US Armed Forces that, “You can refuse illegal orders...you must refuse illegal orders.”
The Islamo-Fascist Threat to America
When an enemy tells you who they are and their strategic objectives, you have two choices: reduce the threat or stupidly allow it to thrive.
The Party of Mean Girls…and Petulant, Weak Boys
The party of the mean girls and weak boys is really the kids that no one picked to play, and they are angry about their rejection. Their goal is to punish you for not being inclusive of their demented behavior.
What is Law to the Marxist Left?
What is law to the Marxist left? To the rest of us, the law is the law. To the Marxists, it is whatever they want it to be to maintain control.
You Reap What You Sow
There has been incessant commentary, analysis, assessments, and consternation about the results from last week's off-cycle elections. There are those on the left who are dancing in the end zone and spiking the football. Those on the right are seemingly wringing their hands. So, what is my assessment of the situation from last Tuesday's election?
Is Islam Compatible With Our Constitutional Freedoms?
I have often said that when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it leads to cultural suicide.
Supreme Court to decide on racial gerrymandering in Louisiana v. Callais
At issue is Louisiana’s congressional map, which was redrawn after litigation to include a second majority-Black district, under the Voting Rights Act. Advocates of the redistricting effort said the map protects minority voting rights. In reality, it transforms the Voting Rights Act into a tool for partisan gerrymandering, forcing states to engineer partisan districts under the guise of racial equity.
