A conservative Christian mother of five who narrowly lost a contentious school board election in Virginia that involved transgender issues nonetheless decided she would apply to be a substitute teacher. After the school district ran a background check, approved her, and assigned her to a class, the school board denied her employment, and she suspects…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday that a partial government shutdown over Democrats’ demands for restrictions on enforcement by federal agents would primarily affect agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Aviation Administration. Despite Democrats’ new list…
With its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court has brought the sexual revolution to its apex—a redefinition of our civilization’s primordial institution, cutting its link to procreation and declaring sex differences meaningless. The court has usurped the authority of the people, working through the democratic process, to define marriage. And it has shut down…
Although at least 250 children in Philadelphia are in need of foster homes, 35 homes willing to take them in are still waiting—and the private religious charity that could bring them together is fighting back against a city that doesn’t want its help. After a 50-year relationship with Catholic Social Services, the city decided to…
Roslyn Clark Artis, president of Benedict College, and Lt. Gen. Gwen Bingham, retired chief of staff for installation management at the U.S. Department of the Army, join today’s podcast.

The devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is compounded by the possibility—some would say likelihood—that it could have been averted or its impact mitigated. If, for example, China failed in a timely manner to disclose the threat of the new coronavirus or misrepresented its cause or severity, there could be political or economic consequences. But…
As the nation stands bitterly, even violently, divided with weeks to go before a hotly contested presidential election, another tremor hits when a Supreme Court justice of three decades dies. This leaves the Republican president and fierce rival of the departed, Democrat-appointed justice to fill the vacancy. In this instance, the Supreme Court was not…
A watchdog report prompted by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, identifies a conflict of interest in the Department of Veterans Affairs office that runs the GI Bill program. The VA inspector general’s report faults Charmain Bogue, who resigned as executive director of the Veterans Benefits Administration’s Education Service amid the investigation, for working with her husband’s…
What’s worse, attacking people’s homes and neighborhoods or disrupting religious services? The answer, of course, is both are completely unacceptable. These are not things normal people need to debate. A man’s home is his castle. Does that ring a bell? It’s an English legal concept adopted by the American Founders and reflected in the U.S….
Elections have become not merely choices of policy change but referenda on the full-scale, top-to-bottom destruction of America’s form of government and way of life. Democratic Party candidates in the 2024 election have proposed policies that would radically, and irrevocably, alter America’s constitutional order. Liberal candidates have endorsed plans that would fundamentally transform all three…
In an eight-page letter last week to the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Justice Department informed Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., that it was closing its investigation of the IRS targeting scandal, claiming there is not sufficient evidence to “seek any criminal charges” against Lois Lerner or any other IRS officials. However, there…
As the Trump administration takes on the latest wave of left-wing violence, an obituary reminds us what happens when political killers get away with their crimes. The law never caught up with Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur. She died last Thursday, age 78, an honored guest of Cuba’s Communist regime—and honored, disgracefully, by tenured radicals…
Even Democrats in Nevada’s state Legislature—a key battleground state—now favor voter ID, but with a catch. The catch was the bill also expands ballot drop boxes, typically favored by Democrats, which Republicans view with skepticism. The bill passed the Senate Monday with a 16-5 vote, and now heads to Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, who…
As the riots in Los Angeles continue to rage and temperatures still flare from Thursday’s debacle when a U.S. senator forcibly entered a press event for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and began shouting at her, a nationally renowned free speech expert weighed in on the tense political atmosphere and the looming questions of the…
An organization dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of college students has helped file the first lawsuit as part of a new campaign to end “free speech zones” on college campuses. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, helped Los Angeles Pierce College student Kevin Shaw file a lawsuit after he was told…
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley slammed the U.N. resolution blaming Israel for recent violence at the Gaza border. “The nature of this resolution clearly demonstrates that politics is driving the day,” Haley said at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, according to The New York Times. “Such one-sided resolutions at the U.N….
President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in a prime-time announcement Monday night. If confirmed by the Senate, Kavanaugh would replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy to give the court a likely solid 5-4 conservative majority. “Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge’s judge, a true thought leader among his peers,”…
After a marathon 13 hours of questioning on Wednesday, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings continued Thursday with more questions from the senators. Protesters continued to punctuate the senators’ questions throughout the day, and a dozen or so of the girls Kavanaugh has coached on basketball teams showed up in the afternoon to support…
Supreme Court justices need a healthy respect for past precedents. But sometimes, precedent is so bad it simply has to be overturned. The court did just that last month in the case of Knick v. Township of Scott. The court delivered a victory for champions of property rights by overturning a 1985 precedent that had…
Anyone who thinks the First Amendment is best represented by the “news” media isn’t paying attention to the way they wage war on freedom of speech for the conservative “rabble” on social media platforms. Imagine if the media had attacked new media owners Jeff Bezos or David Zaslav with the kind of venom that they’re…
