American Values

After a visit to Pueblo's Center for American Values, Allen West asks what American values really mean in our 250th year, and draws a hard line between the individual sovereignty our founders affirmed and the collectivism today's Marxist left is selling.

Trust Iran? Why?

Allen West draws on Islamic history and the doctrine of taqiyya to argue that Iran’s ceasefire is a strategic ploy, not a path to peace. The real objective: cut Iran off from the energy resources that prop up its regime and hold the world hostage.

The Black Lives that Don’t Matter

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.

What Type of People are Against the SAVE America Act?

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?

“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.

Accountability, the New Political Buzzword

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.

The Law

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.
