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
As my dear Mother used to say, “Everything happens for a reason,” and so it was with the Tea Party’s well-reasoned formation for prepping the public’s attitude and involvement back towards the caring and protecting of “God’s country.” In retrospect, this seemed to be the old “all dressed up and nowhere to go “refrain. However, … Read more
Don’t expect too much depth at the “watercooler, especially from your proglodyte coworkers. They’ve got their talking points. Hands off (something), Trump is wrecking the economy, free Palestine, and oligarchs. Not their oligarchs. And no one is allowed to “Free Palestine” from Hamas. And I guess all that waste, fraud, and abuse are the price … Read more
Regulatory pincers, foreign and domestic. The European Union (EU) is facing off with the United States over tariffs, war with Russia, and increased regulations governing corporations doing business on the continent. Some claim globalist NGOs exert undue influence over modern Europe through the union: Pending laws that seek to impose environmental and social rules on … Read more
Virginia Allen – The Daily Signal President Donald Trump could not run for a third term, but he could be president a third time, according to Cornell law professor Bill Jacobson. The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is clear that no one can be elected to the office of the president “more than twice.” “But there’s nothing … Read more
There’s a good chance you’ve heard of a book called The Fourth Turning. If you’ve read it, you know there’s a good reason it’s trending again. Published in 1997 and co-written by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, The Fourth Turning examined the rhythms of American history and predicted that America’s next enormous crisis – something on par … Read more
I want to believe that the Trump Administration already knew this would happen. They had inside knowledge from existing talks or calls that if they publicly unveiled their Tariff plan, two things would happen: The Democrats would overreact, and scores of trading partners would line up to do a deal. Sorry, I’m not that MAGA, … Read more
The “will he run or won’t he” rumor mill just took an interesting turn. I’m referring to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He’s hinted at past Senate runs and even dipped a toe into the presidential race pool (the water was cold). Outsiders have been happy to speculate while those of us inside know … Read more
Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell – The Daily Signal The Trump administration’s Health and Human Services Department has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in grants dedicated to researching illegal sexual behavior in children, pregnancy prevention for “transgender boys,” and so-called sleep inequality affecting black sexual-minority men. In March, HHS canceled at least $530 million of funding for LGBTQ+ … Read more

Trump continues his relentless pursuit of strength, prosperity, and peace — and lays the foundation for America to be the global powerhouse for generations to come. Here is a non-comprehensive list of wins in week 11: c/o The Trump White House … Read more
For far too long, America has been the world’s punching bag regarding trade. Foreign nations—some allies, some adversaries—have exploited our generosity, reaping profits while draining our industries, jobs, and national pride. However, under President Donald J. Trump, that era of weakness is over. With his bold tariff policies, Trump is fulfilling his promise to put … Read more
Did Donald Trump learn anything from watching Joe Biden economically suicide-bomb his own presidency? President Trump is decreeing new tariffs and issuing sweeping tariff threats on a weekly basis. Trump supporters believe the president is so wise that he can levy taxes that make imported goods far more expensive without skewering American consumers. But does … Read more
Here’s an inconvenient truth. For all the caterwailing, wailing, pearl-clutching, and gnashing of baby teeth, Donald Trump has not yet achieved the kind of planned executive branch attrition achieved by William Jefferson Clinton. During the 1990s, President Bill Clinton reduced the size of the federal civilian workforce from roughly 2.2 million to 1.8 million, largely through … Read more
In a recent statement from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to fostering peace in the Middle East, declaring, “Every day, we’re keeping our promises to the Muslim community. My administration is engaged in relentless diplomacy to forge a lasting peace in the Middle East, building on the historic Abraham … Read more
Last week I set a horde of angry Trump supporters on my tail. I was accused of being some nutty Democrat, left-wing stooge. That’s a first, so thanks for that, box checked, and a lesson in how not to write a sentence. I was enumerating positions held by both sides concerning Trump, his EOs, swamp … Read more

Trump keeps delivering transformative wins for the American people — empowering our workers, securing our nation, and cementing our leadership as the envy of the world. Here is a non-comprehensive list of wins in week ten: President Trump’s effort to secure the homeland continued in force. … Read more
The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the … Read more
From Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address: [I]f the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to … Read more
You may have noticed that we pay homage to both sides on the right over several issues. Education freedom accounts for all, zoning, and an Article V convention are currently hot topics dividing the center-right. Assisted suicide and tariffs are also up there. The pro-liberty factions, from conservatives to Libertarians, are free to lob verbal … Read more
