How Swalwell and Gonzales turned scandal into a golden parachute

When a member of Congress announces “resignation effective immediately,” Americans should hear the quiet click of an escape hatch locking behind them. That is exactly what Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) did this week. Gonzales first framed his exit as a dignified “retirement,” but facing mounting pressure, he reversed course in […]

Paxton’s persecution: Texas faithful can’t ignore what’s happening in Senate race

Texans love to say, “As Texas goes, so goes America.” I would argue that what happens in Texas affects the world. In many ways, that has been true in the fight for religious liberty for the last 70 years. A new battle over religious liberty is brewing in the race to represent Texas in the […]

When in Congress, I will confront radical Islamism without hesitation

People often ask why I am running for Congress. My answer is simple: I am running because I love America, something my opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), would never be able to say. I am running because I have seen firsthand what the world looks like without the freedoms this country represents. I have seen what […]

DC cracks down on competition with Empower ride share ban

Making competition more difficult through regulation and licensing requirements in order to maintain standards is often just a cover for protecting certain industries from new competition.

Universities cannot survive as left-wing echo chambers

Trust in higher education is near an all-time low, and a new Yale University report suggests colleges have only themselves to blame. In addition to problems such as high prices, opaque admissions processes, and declining academic standards, the report highlighted that many universities have become “intellectual and ideological echo chambers, out of touch with the American nation and out of […]

Three individuals were killed during a Sunday strike led by U.S. forces on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, officials said.

America’s medicine cabinet must come home

The Democrats’ Senate votes on Israel highlight a growing challenge 

With Democrats poised to take the House and possibly the Senate, a series of votes in the upper chamber offered an important window into the party’s evolving foreign policy posture.

Iran's military has threatened to retaliate after the U.S. seized one of its cargo ships in the Gulf of Oman, while the U.S. has declared a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump has stated that U.S. soldiers will board Iranian-linked ships to increase economic pressure on Tehran.

Resignation is Trump’s last chance at redemption

Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson — he’s a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character. It is time for America to acknowledge the lesson and move on. 

Senate Republican knocks Trump over ‘holy war’ with pope

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) is warning that if Republicans lose the November midterm elections it will be because they didn’t talk enough about reducing the cost of living and urged President Trump and Vice President Vance to drop “this new holy war with the pope.” Kennedy, speaking to Fox News’s “The Big Weekend Show,” defended...

Eric Swalwell is what happens when special interests pick your congressman

America just learned about the real Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), when accusations of sexual assault ended his gubernatorial campaign and his political career. People rightly began to ask why those who knew Swalwell's character hadn't done more to stop his rise. Let me explain: People did try. They were silenced or dismissed. The more interesting story...

How did the media miss the Swalwell story? The world may never know.

Just try not to notice the part where these short bursts of hyper-cautious journalism tend to benefit only one party, while the other party must contend with the media parroting unfounded and completely ridiculous allegations.
