Defending American Freedom and Values
On America Right Now, Anna M. in Texas wrote to ask, "We are a Democratic nation - so why is it 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...and to the Republic for which it stands'?
On America Right Now, Rick G. in Tallahassee, Florida, asked "We need a bill on term limits for our Congress and Senate very badly. What could such a bill look like?"
A few weeks back I had the privilege of getting a rare look at the place President Ronald Reagan called a 'natural cathedral' as a guest of the Young America's Foundation. I was at the Reagan Ranch with a group of inspiring young Americans searching for a return to a time when we had more faith in God, in ourselves and in our nation.

If you missed it, I recently sat down with best selling author Wynton Hall to talk about his new book, "Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI." If you think AI is just a neutral technology tool, he says you're wrong.

Perhaps humility, combined with that signature Reagan optimism, is the key to the hearts of so many now searching for faith in themselves, their God and their nation. America should heed the message of the students of the Reagan Ranch.

A pilgrimage to California yields a formula for the post-Trump era Recently, a group of high school students made a pilgrimage of sorts to a natural cathedral high in the hills of Santa Barbara, California.
Progressivism is not about cradle to grave welfare, or the ever expanding omnipotent government.
Inspired by Marx, the American Left has full embraced cutting people off from their history. The Left uses language to manipulate the public into thinking that fundamentally dangerous policies are happy talk.
Gender affirming care is a term made to trick the user into thinking that something inherently destructive is the exact opposite.
Only the Left's malevolence would create a fungible societal construct based on racial division and victimhood.

The Left has even tried to redefine recreation. Popping a 50% THC-laced gummy bear to get you stoned off your rear end will never be recreation.
