COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
Election Integrity
The American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) will have a webinar this evening on the subject of election integrity.
The Playground of Incompetents
The progressive socialist left -- aka the Democrat Party -- had a very bad week. One can only conclude that the left resembles a playground of incompetents.
Von Spakovsky: Election Integrity and the American Republic
Election integrity and voter fraud have become so controversial that even if you try to discuss them rationally and reasonably, and cite incontrovertible evidence, you will likely be banned by social media platforms and labelled a conspiratorial vote suppressor by the major media organizations that dominate our airwaves.
Von Spakovsky: Judge Rebukes DOJ for ‘Overbroad’ Subpoena of Conservative Group
On Sept. 20, we reported on an outrageous subpoena served by the U.S. Justice Department on the Eagle Forum of Alabama. Fortunately, in the face of vigorous opposition expressed in amicus briefs filed by literally dozens of conservative organizations supporting the Eagle Forum’s motion to quash (i.e., throw out) the subpoena, Justice Department lawyers caved and narrowed their request—as the judge in the case put it—to “1%” of what they were demanding before.
The Constitutional Case for Impeaching Joe Biden
If our rule of law is meaningless, then the consent of the governed is replaced by the rule of tyranny
The Progressive Socialist War on American Children
The time has come that we -- as constitutional conservatives and Republicans -- stop playing this absurd adherence to Marquis de Quisenberry’s rules. It is imperative to understand the strategy, goals, plans, and objectives of the radical leftists and Marxists; that is why I have a copy of Saul Alinsky's [...]
Lawlessness and Mobocracy
Progressive socialists, leftists, fascists, Marxists, and communists always employ and deploy an organized mob to do their bidding.
The American Stasi State
The midterm elections will determine whether or not our constitutional republic survives, or the American Stasi state expands.
17th Amendment weakened balance of power between states, federal government
As we head toward the 2022 elections, it is a safe bet that few Americans can identify the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, even though it’s one of the most significant amendments. Ratified on April 8, 1913, it completely changed the balance of power in our federal system.The amendment provided for the direct popular election of U.S. senators. That sounds non-controversial now, but it meant taking the power away from state legislatures that were originally given the authority to choose the senators representing their state in Section 3 of Article I of the Constitution.
Restoring the Constitutional Relationship
America is not a democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic. Sadly, we must keep hammering that point home.
The Collapsing Pillars of American Security
The foundation of the longest-running Constitutional Republic that the world has ever known is rooted in our rule of law, the American Constitution.
Supreme Court Examines Whether Alabama’s Congressional Districts Violate Voting Rights Act
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which took center stage Tuesday during oral arguments at the Supreme Court, prohibits a state from imposing a “standard, practice, or procedure” that “results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color … .” Courts have found that states violate this provision when they draw new legislative districts that dilute the voting power of minority voters by either packing as many of these voters as possible into a single district or by splitting these voters among various other districts—practices known as “packing” and “cracking” voters.
The Most Important Election Issue: Educational Freedom
Realize what the leftists hold dear . . . it is the control of our children. That is how the leftists will perpetuate their ideological agenda for generations to come.
The ‘Pandemic is Over,’ But, No One Told the Military
The Biden administration is canceling benefits for military families rejecting mandatory COVID vaccines, but not illegal immigrant benefits.
FBI, DOJ Misuse Federal Law to Arrest, Charge Pro-Life Activist
In an early morning raid Friday in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, about two dozen FBI agents with weapons drawn pounded on the door of Mark Houck’s home, where he lives with his wife and seven children. The FBI agents arrested Houck based on a federal indictment. Sounds serious, right? Is Houck a domestic terrorist, an American jihadist, a dangerous militia member, a violent felon, or someone with a prior history of violence toward law enforcement who would require such an overwhelming show of force? Not even close.
Von Spakovsky: DOJ Harasses Citizens for Exercising First Amendment Rights
The Justice Department has hit Eagle Forum of Alabama with a voluminous subpoena that violates the organization’s First Amendment rights to speak freely, engage in the political process, and talk to its elected representatives.
“A Republic, If YOU Can Keep It”
Our Constitution is a restraining document on the powers of the federal government, not a free-for-all.
The Perils of America’s Woke Military
Our U.S. military is being led down the perilous road of "wokeness."
Constitutional Liberty is Essential
It is imperative that we realize that no emergency authorizes the suspension of our constitutional rights, freedoms, and liberties.
Socialism, the Creed of Ignorance
The same day on which we received the report of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showing a growth in core inflation, the Biden administration held a celebration.
