The Second Amendment Doesn’t Have an Asterisk

FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent comments about firearms at protests sparked a needed reminder: the Bill of Rights isn’t a buffet. Carrying a firearm at a peaceful protest remains constitutionally protected, while criminal behavior, like interfering with law enforcement, brings its own legal consequences. The danger lies in blurring that line. When officials imply that lawful carry equals a threat, they unintentionally hand ammunition to those eager to chip away at constitutional rights.

Freedom of Religion…for Who?

The very first freedom, liberty, in our individual Bill of Rights is the freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof. So, with this backdrop, I found it quite interesting, hypocritical, earlier this week on Monday, that four Muslim women in hijabs were passing out Qurans and hijabs at Wylie East HS in Wylie, Texas.

Stop Calling Them Democrats

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.

A Challenge of Constitutional Will

From encrypted coordination to open obstruction of federal law enforcement, events in Minneapolis fit the textbook definition of an insurgency. Calling it anything else requires abandoning both legal definitions and intellectual honesty.

Why Are There Black Marxist Leftists?

So, as we enter Black History Month 2026, the year of our 250th independence anniversary, why do we have Black Marxist leftists? When one objectively studies Marx and his Communist Manifesto, one will see everything that has nothing in common with American Blacks.

Breaking the Law

The preeminent role of government is to safeguard the unalienable, natural rights of the individual: life, liberty, and property. Instead of each of us going about as armed vigilantes, we submit to the government the responsibility to collectively secure and protect those rights.

The Fall of Islam

The fall of Islam will start here in Texas, and it will inspire others in America to stand, and in turn do so for the world. We begin by reading their strategic plan and understanding who they are, and taking them at their word. Islam is not looking for coexistence, so scratch them off that bumper sticker. They tell you so. Don't believe me? Ask Christians in Nigeria, the Middle East, Sudan, and globally.

Ken Blackwell: An America First Trade Policy That Works

For decades, American trade policy rested on an assumption that proved costly: that lowering barriers would naturally produce fairness, stability, and shared prosperity. Instead, the United States absorbed the downside of openness while many trading partners protected their own industries, subsidized exports, and exploited access to the American market. The result was dependency, not dividends.

Who Is Above the Law?

Politicians on the left often proclaim that “no one is above the law,” yet their actions suggest a very different standard when it comes to their own allies.

The Consequences of Leftist Lawlessness

The Marxist leftists are now up in rage and blaming the Trump administration and the ICE officers on the ground. They should stop their ranting and look in the mirror and realize that they are to blame for the death of this woman. Their leftist lawlessness is to blame.
