Remembering Lindsey Graham

A Tribute to Senator Lindsey Graham South Carolina and the nation lost a longtime servant with the passing of Senator Lindsey Olin Graham at age 71. Graham’s story began far from the corridors of Washington. A son of South Carolina, he enlisted in the Air Force after college, served on active duty during the Vietnam era, and later built a career in the Air Force Reserve while practicing law. That foundation of service shaped a man who entered politics as a principled conservative, first winning a House seat in 1994 before moving to the Senate in 2003. He became a fixture…

Cowtown Cops vs. the Constitution

If the FWPD Gets the First Amendment Wrong, They Can’t Be Trusted on the Fourth Fort Worth, Texas: Cowtown. The city that still carries the scent of stockyards and the stubborn spirit of independence. Yet this June, at Trinity Pride Fest, officers of the Fort Worth Police Department turned that proud legacy into a black mark. Multiple officers, including a supervisor, warned Christian street preachers that “offensive speech” could earn them tickets and that stepping onto public sidewalks risked arrest for trespassing. One preacher pressed: Could saying “homosexuality is a sin” or addressing a biological male as “sir” get him cited?…

Reclaiming America’s Story

Inside the Smithsonian’s Assault on American History Americans have every right to expect their flagship national history museum to tell the story of the United States with honesty, balance, and pride. The National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution was founded for precisely that purpose: to commemorate our heritage of freedom, highlight the basic elements of American life, and instill a deepened faith in the country’s destiny. Yet a comprehensive White House report released this month tells a different tale. Titled Saving America’s Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage,…

The Platner Class

Democrats Owned Him, Defended Him, and Are Now Scrambling to Save Themselves The Democrat Party didn’t just nominate Graham Platner. A broad coalition of prominent Democrats, the Platner Class, owned him, platformed him, and defended him through scandal after scandal. Now, as his campaign collapses under credible sexual assault allegations, they’re desperately trying to distance themselves. This isn’t principle. It’s raw power politics. They believed women only when it was convenient. Sen. John Fetterman stood apart with principle. And as I’ve documented since October 2025, this disaster was entirely predictable. No one in the Platner Class gets to slither away without…

A Time for Choosing, Again

Steeling Our Patriotic Reserve on America’s 250th As we mark the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, Ronald Reagan’s words from more than six decades ago echo with fresh urgency: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.” This wasn’t mere rhetoric from…

The Birthright Citizenship Decision

How the Majority Rewrote the Fourteenth Amendment and Why Congress Must Now Act The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara ranks among the most consequential rulings of the Term. In a 6-3 opinion by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court struck down President Trump’s Executive Order limiting birthright citizenship for children of parents who are unlawfully present or only temporarily in the United States. The majority held that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause demands automatic citizenship for virtually every child born on American soil, no matter their parents’ status. On the surface, the opinion gleams with scholarly polish: historical citations to…
