Here is my homework assignment for all the fist-clenching, gun control-demanding teenagers walking out of classrooms this week (and next week and next month) to protest school shootings: Ask not what the rest of the country can do for your local school’s safety; ask what your local school boards and superintendents have been failing to…
Asawin Suebsaeng and Lachlan Markay have a piece in the Daily Beast citing an anonymous source that claims President Donald Trump is unconcerned with the national debt. From their piece: Trump noted that the data suggested the debt would reach a critical mass only after his possible second term in office. ‘Yeah, but I won’t be…
In the wake of tragic mass shootings, such as those occurring in recent days in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, it’s understandable that the nation would search for answers. It’s easy to blame the tools used in the killings and call for measures that would broadly restrict public access to them, instead of focusing…
Two Senate Republicans tangled Wednesday with one of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s key deputies over her boss’ proposal to use federal anti-terrorism laws against parents who speak out against critical race theory, mask mandates, or other contested issues in their public school systems. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., asked Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil…
On June 16, President Joe Biden ended a big gun-control speech in Connecticut with the words, “God save the queen, man.” Why did the president express adoration for the departed Brit monarch? Was he confused about royal succession? Who knows. When asked about the incident, White House aides offered nonsensical and conflicting answers—because they have…
As millions of children return to public school, it’s a good idea to again examine what they are being taught and what is being left out. It also offers an annual opportunity for parents to ask if their kids are being educated or indoctrinated. At the recent convention of the National Education Association in Orlando,…
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., likes to argue that the “whole point” of protesting is to make people “uncomfortable.” Debate. Dissent. Running highly misleading political ads on TV. These are all part of our great tradition of political discourse. In this, as in so much else, the Democrat darling is incorrect. Taking to the streets to…
Better be extra cautious when passing a school bus. Redflex Traffic Systems is partnering with 19 Virginia school districts to install cameras on buses to catch drivers who ignore their stop signs. The cameras would be installed about six feet behind the bus’ stop-arm to monitor traffic in both directions. The system activates when the…
Various media sources have reported that federal District Court Judge Reggie Walton has ordered the IRS to finally respond to various legal requests for information and documents made by the conservative tea party organizations that sued the agency. But the question that no one is asking is why that order was even necessary, and why…
Monday, Oct. 1, marks the start of a new Supreme Court term. With conservative victories in numerous cases (NIFLA, the so-called “travel ban,” Masterpiece Cakeshop, Janus, and more), the previous term is summed up best by then-candidate Donald Trump: “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning.”…
Conservative nonprofit PragerU filed suit against Google in California court on Tuesday for allegedly violating state law in restricting access to Prager’s educational videos on YouTube, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The suit claims that YouTube’s restrictions on many of Prager’s videos violate California law in four…
The sun was shining in Boston on July 1 as I sat at a picnic table looking out over Boston Harbor, the very harbor that about 250 years earlier Colonists dumped tea into in protest of British taxes. As a Massachusetts native, I am proud of my state’s history in the fight for freedom and…
An activist waving a transgender flag assaulted pro-life students at the Virginia March for Life on Wednesday, video footage shows. Pro-life Virginians gathered Wednesday in Richmond, Virginia, to march in support of unborn babies and against efforts to expand abortion in the state. Speakers included Winsome Sears, the lieutenant governor of Virginia, Liberty University President…
Less than a month after it was launched, 24 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have already joined the Sharia Free America Caucus. Republican Reps. Keith Self and Chip Roy of Texas created the caucus to “fight back against the radical ideology” and “save Western Civilization from the threat of Sharia.” “Sharia law and…
More Americans favor than oppose the U.S. government banning TikTok, according to a new survey by pollster Scott Rasmussen. TikTok, the Chinese-owned viral social media app, which has come under suspicion of surveilling American citizens on behalf of the Chinese government, will be banned as of Sunday unless the company complies with a federal order…
Republicans this week made major progress when they passed the “big, beautiful” budget reconciliation package out of the House, but there's still a long road ahead to President Donald Trump’s desk. The package—dubbed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act—now heads to the Senate. The GOP currently has a 53-47 majority in the upper chamber, and…
Finding Americans fed up with governmental abuses isn’t hard. They wonder why we have politicians who spend too much, bureaucrats who regulate too much, and officials who limit our freedom at almost every turn. The answer, I believe, is mostly rooted in ignorance. They’ve either forgotten what they once knew about the U.S. Constitution and…
While it is no surprise to most Americans that government tends to operate less efficiently than the private sector, the amount of money that is lost or mishandled is often much higher than many people imagine. The United States Postal Service (USPS), for example, faced losses of approximately $2 billion per quarter in the 2014…
On Thursday, The Daily Signal published an article about Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Commissioner Brad Avakian ordering Aaron and Melissa Klein, Christian bakers who had refused to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, to pay the couple $135,000 for “emotional” damages and issuing a gag order against the Kleins. On…
It is alleged that Hillary Clinton won a popular vote majority. Therefore, if the nation were not burdened with the antiquated Electoral College, anguished and freaked-out Americans whine, she, instead of Donald Trump, would be the next president of the United States. You say, “Hold it. Before you go further, Williams, what do you mean…
