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.

Shall Not Be Infringed

What happens when the state that gave America James Madison considers legislation that critics say undermines the very rights he helped enshrine? A proposed Virginia law would ban the future sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines, igniting a fierce debate over the Second Amendment, constitutional limits, and the role of government in regulating arms. Supporters argue the measure promotes public safety. Opponents say it contradicts both the historical purpose of the amendment and Supreme Court rulings affirming an individual right to keep and bear arms. With the bill now sitting on the governor’s desk, the controversy highlights a broader national clash over constitutional interpretation, public safety, and the enduring meaning of the right to bear arms.

Who Owns the American Story?

When $24 billion in foreign sovereign wealth fund money backs a deal to control a third of America's entertainment market, that's not just a business transaction. Allen West makes a compelling case that the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger is a cultural inflection point we're sleepwalking through. Our stories shape our values, and whoever controls those stories wields real power.

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.

America Security First

For 47 years, we've operated in a delusional reality when it comes to Iran. The number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism has killed and maimed our troops, armed Russia with drones, funded proxy wars across the Middle East, and pursued nuclear weapons not for energy but for apocalyptic ambitions. There is no compromise with a regime that chants "Death to America" and means it. Removing Iran as a threat isn't optional. It's a strategic geopolitical imperative.

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.

The Poison of Marxist Leftism

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.
