It’s official: Democrats are in the party that stands for legal child sex changes. At least, that’s the unmistakable takeaway from the Democratic response to the massive Supreme Court decision upholding red states’ ability to restrict or ban medical gender transition treatments for minors. One by one, major Democratic lawmakers came out with statements condemning […]
I am a Texan, born and raised. I love my state, even with its various challenges and imperfections. Texas has many significant historical tags: the battle of the Alamo, Roe v. Wade, and, of course, Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and declared that all enslaved people in Texas […]
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) is no political hero. He is not a martyr. Democrats today are little more than soap opera performers. Padilla is a great example of this. Despite left-wing adulation to the contrary, the senator from California demonstrated over the last week that he is nothing more than a court jester portraying the […]
It has now been more than a month since Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of the Kurdish insurgency in Turkey, called for his Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, to disband more than 40 years after it started its fight. “The terrorist group laying down its arms is a victory for civilization,” deputy State Department spokesman […]
The Trump administration almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last week on immigration. Just as self-deportation is gaining steam, the White House briefly gave in to corporate pressure and announced that whole sections of the economy would be exempt from immigration enforcement.

Not even feigned impartiality comes through in transgender activists’ interactions with the Supreme Court’s recent United States v. Skrmetti ruling. To the legacy media and the dissenting justices, the decision is strictly unreasonable. After Skrmetti’s arguments in December 2024, justices released their opinions this past Wednesday, revealing a 6-3 ruling in favor of upholding Tennessee’s […]
If the destruction and chaos we saw in Los Angeles taught us anything, it’s that who we let into this country matters. Visas are a privilege, not a right, and President Donald Trump wants to ensure that the U.S. visa system puts America’s interests first. During my time in the White House under the Trump […]
As our country celebrates Juneteenth, we should recognize those who worked tirelessly from the founding of our nation to end the cruel institution of slavery. John Quincy Adams, an outspoken antislavery advocate, was one of those leaders. He fought tirelessly for the rights of enslaved people across America. From his time on the House floor […]
The Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, which recently produced a chart categorizing hard work, self-reliance, and the nuclear family as attributes of whiteness, describes Juneteenth as “our country’s second Independence Day.” Unfortunately, some news media outlets have followed suit. The United States is one nation with one people, and we […]
