Allen West argues that twisting the 14th Amendment to justify birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants denigrates the amendment's original purpose, securing citizenship for descendants of freed slaves, and reveals which Black lives the left considers expendable.
From Sheridan Gorman to Laken Riley to Kate Steinle, the names of Americans killed by criminal illegal immigrants fill 49 pages. Allen West argues that every politician who supports sanctuary policies shares responsibility for their blood.
Over 80% of Black Americans support photo ID to vote, so who exactly is opposing the SAVE America Act, and why? The same people demanding "no Jim Crow 2.0" have no problem with TSA and airlines requiring ID from this Black man. The new white supremacists aren't wearing hoods; they're standing at podiums arguing that People of Color are too incompetent to obtain a picture ID.
“Are we there yet?” may be funny coming from kids on a road trip, but it is a dangerous way to think about war and national security. Using a family travel story as the setup, this piece argues that America’s struggle with Iran cannot be measured in days or weeks, but in decades of aggression, missed opportunities, and the long game our enemies are already playing.
What does “affordability” really mean? Using Abraham Lincoln’s famous warning that the same word can represent both liberty and tyranny, this commentary argues that today’s political push for “affordability” reflects competing visions of economic freedom, and a growing debate over whether government intervention actually makes life more affordable or simply expands control over it.
When President Trump asked members of Congress during his State of the Union address to stand if they believed the government’s duty is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens, the silence from the left was striking. That moment raises a deeper constitutional question about the true purpose of government. From the Constitution’s Guarantee Clause to the natural rights philosophy of John Locke and the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the American system is built on the idea that government exists to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens. When elected officials place ideological agendas above the law and refuse to support enforcement of immigration statutes, it raises serious concerns about the rule of law itself—and whether some lawmakers have forgotten the fundamental responsibility they were elected to uphold.
As Texas heads deeper into early voting for the 2026 midterm primary, the question lingers: can Democrats win statewide in the Lone Star State? Despite recent special election wins and shifting poll narratives, the answer remains a firm no. Urban strongholds are not enough to secure statewide success, and key issues like border security, voter ID, energy policy, and parental rights continue to define the political divide. The real challenge for constitutional conservatives is simple: clearly articulate the consequences of leftist policies and make the case to voters across Texas.
America is a Constitutional Republic, not a pure democracy — and the progressive left's push for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, opposition to the SAVE Act, and efforts to undermine electoral integrity prove they are the real threat to our democratic processes. With Virginia on the verge of becoming the 18th NPVIC state, the stakes for the 2026 midterms couldn't be higher.
During Black History Month, ACRU Executive Director Allen West reflects on being born in a segregated Atlanta hospital in 1961 and uses that personal history to challenge modern claims that voter ID laws resemble Jim Crow. Tracing the arc from Black Codes and segregation to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the political narrative surrounding race and voting rights has been reshaped over time.
America was founded on individual liberty, not collectivist control, but 250 years later, that core principle is under direct assault. From dismissing rugged individualism to embracing Marxist ideology, today’s political left no longer even pretends to align with the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.
