COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
Ken Blackwell: School choice is the only solution to what’s wrong with public schools
Public school administrators wield a great deal of power over our children’s lives − too much power. The only solution is school choice. A recent undercover investigation in Ohio by the watchdog group Accuracy in Media underscores the troubling arrogance of administrators who think they know best what values and lessons children should be taught − better than the elected officials who set curriculum guidelines, and better even than those children’s parents.
China: America’s Top Geo-Political Foe
It does not take an expert on China to see what is happening, just some common sense and guts . . . both lacking in this current, and compromised, Biden administration.
The Contributing Factor to Lawlessness
The greatest contributing factor to the lawlessness we now see is a lack of courage.
What is the Law?
We live in a constitutional republic, not a constitutional monarchy. We abide by the Law, which exists to protect our rights, freedoms, and liberties. We are not bound to obey, or be ruled by, edicts, orders, mandates, decrees, and rules which reflect more ideology than constitutionality.
The Treasonous Undermining of American Energy Independence
The degradation of our ability to produce, consume, and be a net exporter of oil and gas resources is detrimental to the future of America.
National Stalking Awareness Month: The Story of Nikki Goeser
The story of Nikki Goeser is a very tragic and personal story when it comes to being a victim of stalking in a gun-free zone.
“Shall Not be Infringed”
Those First Amendment rights are fundamental, but they are passive and can be easily confiscated by tyrannical rule, if the people did not have the means, the right, to keep and bear arms.
The New American Politburo
The American Politburo must be defeated, and it shall be. The indomitable American spirit is rooted in individual liberty and freedom. We will reject this idea of equity, equality of outcomes, as defined by these elitists who deem themselves our masters, and we the serfs.
Von Spakovsky: Election Integrity 2022 in Review: More Improvements Than Damage
As state legislatures begin their 2023 sessions, Americans should know what their states did in 2022 to improve or damage the integrity of the election process.
Von Spakovsky: FEC Needs To Reopen Twitter Probe Now That Documents Musk Released Show Company May Have Outright Lied
The Federal Election Commission is responsible for enforcing the act that governs the raising and spending of money in federal campaigns. Last year, the commission dismissed a complaint filed against Twitter and its executives that claimed they had violated federal law. Given the recent public disclosures of internal as well as external Twitter communications with campaign and party organizations, the FEC should reopen that investigation. It must determine if that dismissal was based on false information provided by Twitter.
ACRU Statement on Repeal of Military Vaccine Mandate
Statement from American Constitutional Rights Union and Committee to Support and Defend in regards to the recent repeal of the Military Vaccine Mandate.
Von Spakovsky: Rank “Ranked Choice Voting” Dead Last for Georgia
Alaska and Maine have implemented “ranked choice voting,” a confusing, chaotic method of voting. Georgia should not follow suit. “Ranked choice” really should be referred to as “rigged choice,” since it effectively disenfranchises voters and allows marginal candidates not supported by a majority of voters to win elections.
Von Spakovsky: Numbers Don’t Lie: America’s Border Crisis Is Biden-Made
The Biden administration’s open-border policies and its refusal to fully enforce federal immigration laws have imposed huge costs on local communities across the country. Border states are groaning under the enormous cost of sheltering, feeding, educating, policing, and providing medical care for tens of thousands of illegal aliens.
Constitutional Priorities, Not Ideological
Greetings everyone. I pray your 2023 is off to a resounding start and will continue to rise in expectation and reward. I wish that I could say the same with what we have seen from the Biden administration so far. Here in Texas, we witnessed a modern-day Potemkin Village masquerade when Biden decided to conduct a drive-by at the El Paso port of entry.
An Election; Not a Coronation
This past week the American people were given a very important lesson about constitutional governance, a vital one for our Republic.
Back to Basics
In 2023, America needs a civics lesson: get back to basics. We must resolve to be better citizens of this Constitutional Republic.
The Word “Omni”
Talk about omni-incompetence! No one can run their household the way we see this group of Keystone cops running our budgetary process.
The Anti-Constitution Party
There is only one way to describe the progressive socialist left: it has devolved into the anti-constitution party.
Reparations: the New Slave Wages
Over the centuries, it has been the Democrats who have brought forth the policies of secession, slavery, segregation, and socialism . . . the dreaded Four Ss of the leftist apocalypse.
Panem et Circenses
We are being utterly distracted by the modern-day bread and circuses all the while our constitutional rights are being undermined.
