Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
In 1787, our founders wrote something radical into the Constitution: every official—civilian, military, executive, judicial—would swear allegiance not to a man, but to an idea. Article VI makes it clear: the oath is to the Constitution. Period.
In 1775 after a revolutionary season of 12 years, one third of the Enlightenment Era, Dissident Protestant British people across four regional cultures (in 13 separate Colonies) took up arms to keep the Rights their ancestors won in the previous century.

The idea of a solid, industrial-grade, perfectly rectangular block of sleep is about as old as the lightbulb—and about as natural as chicken nuggets.
America has the attention span of a goldfish on an energy drink. If a war isn’t trending, isn’t hashtagged, or doesn’t have a Marvel movie tie-in, it simply evaporates from public memory. And so we forgot Bosnia.

London’s Daily Mail newspaper predicts 800,000 people will flee New York if Muslim communist Zohran Mamdani wins today’s mayoral election. The poll, conducted by J.L. Partners for the Daily Mail, may be understating the mass exodus from New York if Mamdani takes over Gracie Mansion.
