Opinion and commentary on news, politics, culture, and policy impact.
I’ve spent a lifetime trying to better discern Jesus’ great parable on the organic tension between God and mammon. I am always smitten with Jesus’ admonition that shrewdness matters profoundly in the navigation of life. Having lived my professional life in Washington, D.C., this tension between the world and Providence seems to come to the fore…
Secure Technology Value Solutions is a company with a boring name and a bland website that is staffed by jovial-looking former policemen and corrections officers. It doesn’t exactly scream “Chinese Communist Party threat,” and that’s precisely the point. Secure Technology Value Solutions is actually a front for Nuctech, a Chinese government- and military-owned company, and…
The 2024 presidential election is less than three months away. The first debate between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the current vice president, and Republican former President Donald Trump is set for Sept. 10, but you don’t have to wait until then to know where Harris stands on several major issues on the minds of conservative…
“The soundtrack suggested a Beyoncé concert.” That’s the first line of Time magazine’s adulatory profile of Vice President Kamala Harris, titled “Her Hope,” or in the online version, “The Reintroduction of Kamala Harris.” The cover of the magazine was a glamorized image of Harris reminiscent of posters of President-to-be Barack Obama from 2008. You really…

The family unit, social interaction, and politics are a few of the many variables that impact a developing adolescent. When a child’s family unit is broken, social life is in shambles, or the political public square becomes unavoidable, it can have consequences on who they become as their worldview takes shape. As evidenced by previous…
To hear Vice President Kamala Harris tell it, the Supreme Court’s decision this summer to curb the federal bureaucracy’s authority to interpret vague laws so as to favor giving itself more power threatens everything from clean water and air, accessible health care, and sound financial markets to safe products and worker safety. Well, don’t believe…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. As anti-elite populism rises worldwide, from the U.S. and Europe to Latin America, the socialists are fighting tooth and nail, using everything from cynical election coalitions in France to outright censorship and jailing dissenters in Britain. But there’s…
Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate shows how radical she is, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., tells The Daily Signal. Scott spoke at Erick Erickson’s The Gathering conference in Atlanta on Saturday. He joined “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss Walz’s military record, expectations for the 2024 election…
Elon Musk is standing up for free speech in the U.K. following last month’s elections that resulted in huge wins for the far-left Labour Party. Since its rise to power in July, Labour Party leaders have begun cracking down on social media, even arresting individuals for posts they claim incite violence. Now, Musk is using…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. A new poll finds that nearly 40% of Americans worry about paying the bills “most or all of the time”—which is even higher than during the 2008 financial crisis. The poll—from CNN, of all places—found that 39% of…
You can fool some of the people—for about two weeks. Since Kacklin’ Kamala Harris pried the Anti-Democratic Party’s nomination from Sleepy Joe Biden in a bloodless coup d’etat on July 21, the vice president slithered between two rocks, shed her far-left skin, and emerged as Kamala the neo-moderate. The fracking-ban supporter? Gone! The Green New Deal’s…
Do you want a perspective other than the stifling woke orthodoxy being imposed on society through classrooms, TV shows, and corporate boardrooms? Tired of seeing “LGBTQ” this and “BIPOC” or “AAPI” that? Do you want a discussion of ideas without constant identity politics? You just might be a white supremacist. That’s essentially the message of…
Federal Veterans Affairs resources are being used to serve illegal aliens, says Army veteran Derick Carver. “Essentially, what’s happening is, the VA was caught moving processors from the VA to support [Immigration and Customs Enforcement Health Services Corps] processing detainee medicals,” he says. “We’re talking over 1.1 million people,” said Carver, who currently serves as…
One of the ways our Constitution provides for a “more perfect” union is by establishing a variety of checks and balances on federal government power. But a nation that can be “more perfect” can also become “less perfect,” and advocates for the elimination of those checks and balances are heating up the water in the…
Since Vice President Kamala Harris’ coronation as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, much of the media has been laser-focused on her “vibes.” They are frantically working to ensure that Harris is “unburdened by what has been,” to use her own pet phrase, and persuade voters that she is the answer to all our problems. However,…
The top practitioners of critical race theory just held a weeklong “summer school” in Nashville, Tennessee, to strategize, assess the movement, and debate how best to proselytize the next generation. It was an instructive six days of revolutionary agitprop. Two things immediately stood out. The first is that, yes, despite its protestations to the contrary, the architects…
Vice President Kamala Harris just announced her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in the Nov. 5 presidential election. As governor, Walz routinely touts his gun ownership and affinity for duck hunting as a reason why people should take his opinions in favor of more gun control seriously. He completely misses…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. Household debt in America just hit a new record of $140,000 per family in America. Keep in mind that’s separate from your $280,000 share of the national debt. Or the half-million you owe in unfunded Social Security and…
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dig into the biggest mystery of the 21st century: If no one is in the White House, who’s running the country?
