As I  understand it, House of Representatives may soon vote on H.R. 2500 or the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (NDAA) and the Speier Amendment. Although, the NDAA is necessary to fund our nation’s defense Democrats have insisted on using the legislation to advance their anti-Trump and gender redefining agenda. The NDAA Reauthorization authorizes about $733 billion […]

Good morning  In 2015, one of the hottest battles we had was to trying to REPEAL Common Core. Legislators had ‘gotten the word’ from parents and some teachers and the battle was enjoined. It is too much to go into in this space but it was a delicious experience to observe the fight from the House Gallery. I was sitting […]

If you have been a subscriber for very long, you probably followed the biggest, most difficult battle TN Eagle Forum ever had. It was the passing of the 2018 bill that PROHIBITED Sanctuary Cities in Tennessee. As the process unfolded that year, we measured the importance of our bill by the amount of well-funded and well-organized opposition we received trying […]

Good Morning I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but ads for the Gardasil HPV vaccine have been increasing and now parents are being encouraged to not only make sure that their daughters have the vaccine, but that their sons have it too. Well, not so fast! I have collected information about this effort since 2007 when Texas Governor Rick Perry […]

The Miss USA pageant will be held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on June 8th, and one of the contestants will be a woman who was conceived as a result of forcible rape. Valerie Gatto was crowned Miss Pennsylvania 2014 in December of last year.  She has made a central platform in her competition the need to provide greater support for victims […]

As the story continues from Los Angeles, it becomes more and more unbelievable. Can any of us imagine living around this kind of danger and squalor? And is anything substantial being done to put a STOP to it? Democrat rule has brought trash heaps, rats, typhus and more to California cities It takes a lot of resilience to look over […]

Congress could never get away with creating constitutional rights for illegal aliens to remain here, yet a single lower court just did so on Thursday. And where Congress would face deep reprisal in the next election, faceless judges will never feel the heat. Conservatives fear that extreme Democrats might actually abolish ICE and all immigration enforcement, but the lower courts […]

By Jarrett Stepman  |   CNS It would be nice to think that high school students can get into a good university based on their abilities or talents, but a proposed change to the SAT shows how the concept of meritocracy has been turned into a sham. The College Board, according to The Wall Street Journal, will now assign an “adversity score” to […]

I have represented Tennessee Eagle Forum, our members, and our supporters at the State Capitol for 32 years. During those years, there have been a number of questionable activities and scandals, especially Operation Rocky Top (the Bingo gambling scandal where the Secretary of State and another man committed suicide and others went to prison), Operation Tennessee Waltz (where several legislators […]

Also taught ‘Muslims’ faith is stronger than Christians’ The declarations could have been made by an imam in a mosque sermon. “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.” “Islam at heart is a peaceful religion.” Jihad is a “personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline.” “To Muslims, Allah is the same God that is worshiped in Christianity and Judaism.” “Men are […]

By Bruce P. Frohnen and Ted V. McAllister  |   Tennessee Star America’s public life is disordered; our discourse toxic. Competing lists of scandals and abuses (calls for impeachment, “nuclear options,” attacks on free speech, and so on) are long and shop-worn—and often miss the real issue that something profound, systemic, and dangerous has happened to our nation. A hostile ideology […]

As you may recall, for several years in Tennessee, there have been significant efforts to pass legislation to provide in-state tuition to illegal aliens. If a legislator decides to try that again, hopefully this decision will help us oppose such an effort. No Right to College for Illegal Immigrants The Eleventh Circuit confirms: Universities don’t have to accept unauthorized immigrants, […]

Yes indeed, the liberals are still trying to generate a push to do away with the Electoral College, but in the meantime, the more immediate problem is the effort to get states to join the National Popular Vote compact (NPV). Ohio has created its own unique proposal as you can see in the last article below. In case you didn’t […]
