July 28, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Fox 23 has a touching story about the concern among Maine’s homeless advocates after President Trump signed an order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.” Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe. The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single … Read more

MacDonald: The ACLUs Latest Dumbass Election Lawsuit

July 1, 2025 Steve MacDonald

When Governor Sununu signed HB1569 into law, the Proglodytes lost their minds. How dare you require proof of citizenship for first-time voter registration? This is an outrage. People will be turned away and denied their right to vote. Quick question for the ACLU? Where are the lawsuits against requiring the same information for other purposes? … Read more

Trump Order Would Force the ACLU to Put Its Money Where Its Mouth Is on Lawfare

April 15, 2025 Tyler O'Neil

Tyler O’Neil – The Daily Signal What if I told you that when federal district judges issue injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s policies in a judicial insurrection, they were the ones breaking the law? No, it’s not just because these judges are effectively usurping the authority of the president over the executive branch. It’s more clear-cut than that. When … Read more

Does The ACLU Want To Be The ICLU

March 19, 2025 Ray Cardello

The Left has a problem legislating but excels at litigating. Democrats refuse to cooperate in the Trump administration’s initiatives but have gotten activist judges to impose 64 injunctions against the White House and team. The Judicial Branch of the government is tasked with interpreting the laws and ensuring that they are applied fairly and consistently. … Read more

The ACLU vs. The Constitution (Again!)

August 8, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Once upon a time, the American Civil Liberties Union claimed to defend the US Constitution. These days, with a few rare exceptions where they accidentally defend it, they represent legal challenges to undermine it. Today’s example is viewed by many as a trap meant to create a discrimination lawsuit with the hope of establishing a … Read more

ACLU Sues County (To Protect Our Democracy!) That Plans to Hand Count Every Ballot

October 29, 2022October 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

When an election result is challenged, what happens? They hand-count the ballots. It is regarded as the best way to determine the actual tally and, therefore, the winner. Nye County in Nevada decided that, too, so the county commissioners voted to hand count all ballots. No more machines. The ACLU sued.

ACLU Says Elf on a Shelf Normalizes Surveillance State

December 25, 2021 Steve MacDonald

I’m not clear what the ACLU thinks about vaccine registries, passports, or the growing tendency in some countries to chip their employees or citizens, but they’ve got their dander up about Elf on a Shelf.

How Quaint – ACLU Claims to Be for Freedom of Speech … But Won’t Prove It

September 5, 2021September 5, 2021 Beth Scaer

I recently received an email from ACLU offering me a code to purchase items at a discount from their online store. When I visited the ACLU store, I discovered an I Read Banned Books Tote listed for sale with the description, “For nearly 100 years, we have opposed censorship in all its forms.” I thought, “how quaint” since the ACLU has switched sides on the issue of censorship.

April 15, 2021April 14, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The American Civil Liberties Union went off the rails years ago, but I think they’ve completed walking the path to the dark side. They are suing a private citizen to stop them from accessing public records relating to prison inmates.

Too good to not use: “Black Lives Matter forces whites to march in back of line: ‘Systemic racism’ lives”

June 14, 2020 Skip

Somebody had fun with that title but when I looked at the picture, the only thing that could come to mind is “what weak people they are”. A Free person doesn’t kneel to another. Apologize if you want but that picture is demeaning.

If Minorities want to See Real Change (they can believe in) Defund Democrats

June 13, 2020 Steve MacDonald

No. Really. I’m not kidding. What about the public’s safety? Well, you are deluding yourself if you think the ACLU cares about the public’s safety. And you are hopelessly naive if you think that the ACLU is being ingenuous. The ACLU wants to do away with prisons. They see Wuhan-Virus as a tool in that … Read more

No Holiday is sacred for the Left

It’s the holidays with Thanksgiving up first. Now, I don’t know about you but for me and my family, it is a time of reflection on all that God has bestowed upon – and being thankful for all those blessings (even when they didn’t “feel” like blessings at the time), for our friends, and for … Read more
