Thune’s Failure

Thune’s Weakness on the SAVE America Act The base already knows. Sean Spicer said it out loud on The Huddle: enthusiasm is soft, and the failure to pass the SAVE America Act is a primary reason. I am in that base. I work Texas Republican politics. I hear what people say when the cameras are off. Spicer is right. When voters who delivered unified government watch the House pass a core election-integrity bill repeatedly while the Senate finds reasons not to finish the job, the energy drains. That is not complicated. It is cause and effect. The underlying problem is concrete.…

The Citizenship Act of 2026

A Constitutional Response to the Supreme Court Earlier this month, I wrote that the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara wouldn’t stand the test of time. Justice Thomas said as much in his dissent. The majority took the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, stripped it of its original meaning, and turned it into something approaching an automatic territorial grant: the very thing the Reconstruction framers never intended. The dissents from Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch laid bare the flaws. Justice Kavanaugh, while joining the judgment against the Executive Order, quietly left the door open for Congress. That door is now…

New Jersey’s Voter Roll Failure

A Textbook Case for Passing the SAVE America Act On Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill stepped to the podium and admitted what Democrats have spent years denying: non-citizens had made their way onto the state’s voter rolls, and some had voted. Roughly 6,600 people who had explicitly answered “no” when asked if they were United States citizens still ended up registered between June 2023 and June 2024. Preliminary numbers showed fewer than 400 cast ballots. Sherrill blamed a software glitch at the Motor Vehicle Commission under her predecessor, Phil Murphy. She ordered removals, launched an investigation, and promised accountability. Then…

The Horribles

Three Democrats. Three Levels of Government. One Unmistakeable Pattern. Zohran Mamdani runs New York City with the fervor of a DSA socialist. Tim Walz steers Minnesota from the statehouse using the same ideological toolkit: the very man who nearly became Vice President of the United States. Ro Khanna advances the agenda from Congress. These aren’t fringe voices or passing embarrassments. They represent the direction the Democrat Party has deliberately chosen: rhetoric over results, grievance over governance, and a quiet but persistent hostility to the America that still gets things done. Start in the city that never sleeps, now governed by a…

Republicans Got Played

The Housing Bill That Gave Democrats Everything They Wanted Follow-on to “The DSA’s Housing Trojan Horse” and “¡Afuera!” I warned you. The ROAD to Housing Act was never a serious supply-side fix. It was a cash cow for sanctuary cities, fraudsters, nonprofits, and the Democrat Socialist machine bent on turning American housing into a government-controlled enterprise. Now it’s law. And Democrats are celebrating like they just won the lottery. Senator Elizabeth Warren and her allies are flooding their feeds, crowing about this “groundbreaking” victory. They call it the biggest housing bill in decades, claiming it will build more units, lower costs,…

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…
