COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
The Most Important Election Issue: Educational Freedom

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.

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.
Happy Constitution Day

Von Spakovsky: Lawsuit Continues Against Benson Over Dead on Voter Rolls
Culling dead individuals from Michigan voter rolls is a pretty basic task for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Now Judge Jane M. Beckering, an appointee of President Joe Biden, has rejected Benson’s demand to dismiss a lawsuit filed against her claiming she refused to remove almost 26,000 dead individuals from the state’s voter rolls.
The Constitutional Lessons Learned from the 2020 Elections
Never forget the quote that many attribute to Josef Stalin, “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”
Allen West: The Dangers of a Woke U.S. Military
The motto of the U.S. Army is “This We’ll Defend.” In the modern Armed Services of the U.S. military, we all take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. That is what separates our military from all others in the world–the oath that we take. And truthfully, for us as veterans, that oath should never cease.
The Real Extremists
Let's us not grow fearful or weary in this time. I say constitutional conservatives should be encouraged, emboldened as the lines have been clearly drawn.
Von Spakovsky: Federal Government’s Bungled Census Bad News for Red States. Here’s Why.
If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled. Why? Because according to a post-2020 census survey, the U.S. Census Bureau significantly undercounted the population of Florida, as well as Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, it overcounted the population of eight states, all but one of which is a blue state.
Ken Blackwell: Only American citizens should vote in American election
In 2014, Samuel Swift-Perez sought asylum in the United States from socialist-controlled Venezuela. Like so many others whose countries of origin are wracked with crime, oppressed by authoritarian governments, and burdened by economic uncertainty, Samuel wanted a better life.
The Futility of Reasoning with the Progressive Socialist Left
Biden and his terrorizing flying monkeys believe that the Thursday night speech was phenomenal, brilliant, and spot on.
The Real Threat to Democracy
The two foundations of our Constitutional Republic are the rule of law -- the constitution itself -- and the regard for individual rights, freedoms, and liberties.
Von Spakovsky: Voter Fraud Cases Continue to Occur
We recently added nine new cases to the Heritage Election Fraud Database, bringing the total number of entries of proven instances of voter fraud in the database to 1,374. The mounting collection of cases continue to disprove the narrative that voter fraud is not real and that further election integrity measures are not needed.
Von Spakovsky: Census Bureau Admits Overcounting 7 Blue States, Just 1 Red State
In a shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census. All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.
Constitutional Rights v. Ideological Rights
The left has embraced a concept of government-guaranteed attainment of happiness and decides, based upon their ideology, what that happiness is.
