Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Upon exiting the Constitutional Convention, a lady of some renown (Elizabeth Powel) asked Dr. Franklin, ‘Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” 9/18/1787
‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-host Charlie Hurt and The Federalist elections correspondent Brianna Lyman discuss socialism within the Democratic Party on ‘Hannity.’
In a just country, those in criminal justice who violate their oath would be punished more harshly than petty criminals. Apparently, America can no longer claim to be a just county.
Sean Dietrich pithily responds to reader mail in a manner that only he can.
There will be a runoff for the two GOP candidates for governor on 28 July, as none of the four candidates achieved the 35% threshold required to win outright in the 2 June primary election. Political newcomer Toby Doeden finished first with 31% of the votes, followed by Rhoden at 25%, U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson at 23%, and state House Speaker Jon Hansen at 21%. The race saw one of the highest statewide turnouts in over a decade, over 34% — and for the first time in state history, a runoff is needed to decide the GOP nominee for governor.
President Donald Trump speaks on the ‘crisis’ of election security and how Congress must address it while speaking to the nation.
Can America’s newest graduates explain the difference between a two-stroke and a four-stroke engine? Probably not—and that’s the point. Somewhere along the way, we traded shop class for screen time and mechanical know-how for digital convenience. This isn’t really about lawn mowers or chainsaws. It’s about what happens when a society can build apps but struggles to understand the machines that keep the lights on, the food growing, and the country moving. Maybe it’s time to ask whether practical knowledge still deserves a place in a modern education.
Our great neighbor to the north is a virtual paradise, or so they would have us believe. Free health care, though you have to wait in months-long lines, strict gun control, way better airports than some of the ones Americans have, Air Canada rather than Delta or United, beautiful, wide-open vistas, across their frozen fruited …
Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Iraq, the regional security outlook and whether Israel will heed President Donald Trump’s reported call to reduce its military presence in Syria and Lebanon on ‘Varney & Co.’ #foxbusiness #varneyandco
The immigration debate has become so politically charged it is difficult to discern the facts through the rhetoric. Competing influence campaigns project an image of tireless and appropriate effort on our behalf. Yet we cannot help but wonder if their efforts are on our behalf or theirs. Since past motivations speak to the veracity of current promises, we must strip away the layers of misleading rhetoric to determine the truth. A clear examination of immigration history is the solvent we need.
On June 24, 2026, two earthquakes hit Venezuela back-to-back. They registered 7.2 and 7.5, numbers that are pretty high on the Richter scale. The military sent in the Marines (and other branches). The State Department worked with charities such as Samaritan’s Purse, World Vision and Catholic Relief Services to avoid the confusion that occurred in the successful response to the January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti.
There are a couple of recent articles, describing the debate underway in two states: Texas and Idaho. Both articles sound very similar in ideology, referencing the 10th Amendment, and arguing for states’ rights. But the actions of the two states couldn’t be more different.
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., discusses introducing the Citizenship Act of 2026, legislation that would end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, on ‘The Evening Edit.’
The irony is not lost on any thinking human being with two brain cells and a pulse. Ten years of ranting, railing at the moon, gnashing of teeth calling that Bad Orange Man a fascist-Nazi-ginning up no king’s day sentiments, all made up propaganda that was easily overlooked when faced with actual evidence that a candidate exemplified those attributes and traits
I am sitting at my airline gate. I have been waiting here since the Peloponnesian Wars. I am people-watching because there is nothing else to do while I wait for my plane. The main person I am watching is a guy in the seating area. He is maybe mid-80s. With him are six children. He appears to be the sole adult in their company. There are no other grownups with him.
Mitch McConnell is AWOL, and his handlers haven’t even provided proof of life (or mental acuity). The rally around “20-minute phone calls” and “cogent conversations on important issues” crap reminds me of the Democrats’ “gravitas maneuver” during the 2000 presidential campaign.
The U.S. launched two waves of strikes against Iran on Wednesday, marking the fifth day of attacks against the country as the war ramps back up. CBS News’ Aaron Navarro reports.
Eisenhower didn’t warn America about a foreign army. He warned us about ourselves. A five-star general looked into the future and cautioned that a permanent military, a permanent defense industry, and a permanent government bureaucracy could become so intertwined that only an “alert and knowledgeable citizenry” could keep them in check. Sixty-five years later, we spend roughly a trillion dollars a year on national defense, the Pentagon still can’t earn a clean financial audit, and many Americans know more about celebrity gossip than federal spending. The question isn’t whether Eisenhower was right. The question is whether we’re still the alert and knowledgeable citizens he believed liberty required.
The “Date Rape Offense Tactic” is an alternative to physically resisting a potential rapist. Screaming, sans nearby saviors, can lead the attacker to punch, choke or otherwise harm you. Facing the prospect of being raped – it’s better to be mentally prepared than have no plan at all.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., discusses GOP efforts to pass the SAVE America Act before Congress’ August recess and the United States resuming a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on ‘The Bottom Line.’
