In 1991, the Muslim Brotherhood put its American strategy in writing: destroy Western civilization from within. Allen West argues that thirty-five years later, the organizations named in that memorandum operate openly on Capitol Hill and on our campuses, and that saying so out loud isn't islamophobia, it's citizenship.

Your Mission: Keep This Republic

Allen West turns Constitution Month into an assignment: a day-by-day reading plan for September 1-17 covering the Articles of Confederation, the Federalist Papers, the Declaration, and every article of the Constitution. Franklin promised a Republic if we can keep it, and keeping it starts with actually reading the documents.

The Gospel of Envy

By |2026-09-01T10:11:21-04:00September 1st, 2026|

Winston Churchill called socialism the gospel of envy, and Allen West argues today's left has turned it into a governing platform, from Mamdani's government-run grocery stores to Medicare for All. The catch: the Marxists preaching “fair share” never mean themselves.

Crazy versus Common Sense

By |2026-08-26T09:56:23-04:00August 26th, 2026|

The 2026 midterms are being sold as “crazy versus common sense.” Allen West argues the real contest is Communism versus Constitutionalism, and that a DSA Senate nominee’s federal wealth registry is all the proof anyone should need.

Eighteen Years Ago

By |2026-08-25T15:00:24-04:00August 25th, 2026|

A DSA leader just admitted his organization's “hatred of the United States Constitution,” calling our rule of law an obstacle to revolution. Allen West traces that open sedition back eighteen years, to the night Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” America, and warns that the cancer injected then has now fully metastasized.

Essential Liberty in the American Republic

By |2026-08-19T14:03:08-04:00August 19th, 2026|

Allen West traces the American Republic's existential threat to a single misunderstanding: liberty. From COVID mandates to Flock cameras to red flag laws, the Leviathan keeps promising safety, and Americans keep paying for it with freedom.

Worshipping Moloch in Massachusetts

By |2026-08-18T11:35:41-04:00August 18th, 2026|

Massachusetts, the birthplace of American liberty, just legalized abortion up to the moment of birth. Allen West says the women who smiled and clapped at the signing weren't defending a right, they were tending an altar.

The Locust Effect

By |2026-08-12T10:53:32-04:00August 12th, 2026|

Locusts swarm from ruined ground to fertile ground and strip it bare. Allen West argues America is facing the human version, open-border Marxism, blue-state flight into Texas, and Islamist expansion, and names the one insecticide that still works: the U.S. Constitution.

Black Democrats Refuse to be the Useful Idiots of the Marxists

By |2026-08-11T09:53:47-04:00August 11th, 2026|

Black voters just handed the Democratic Socialists a string of defeats, from Abdul El-Sayed's near-loss in Michigan to Cori Bush's blowout in St. Louis. Allen West argues the message is clear: the Black community has seen this playbook before, and it isn't signing up to be anyone's useful idiots.
