By Gabriel Rossman Consider a policy that, in retrospect, proved to have pretty severe downsides. Now recall that there was probably someone who predicted this at the time, even if they didn’t get all the details right. Imagine if, at the time, this Cassandra was able to take the relevant elites (Congress, the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the […]

Written by  Selwyn Duke In this age of anti-American virtue-signaling and identity politics, perhaps it can now be said that race baiting is “the last refuge of a scoundrel.” This comes to mind with the allegation, made by former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman (shown), that in the past President Trump used the n-word. (Yes, it’s that word which, a […]

By David Fowler  |  FACT I was recently asked a question in the context of a discussion about various LGBT policy issues that was so different from the others. It had to do with Pharisees. Am I a Pharisee? The question actually came in the form of a text from a pastor who supports some or all of the policy […]

“You can’t be for big government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.” —Ronald Reagan “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation.” —John Marshall (1819) The regulatory cuts ordered by President Donald Trump are already saving consumers billions of […]

Is it any of Canada’s business whether Saudi women have the right to drive? Well, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland just made it her business. Repeatedly denouncing Riyadh’s arrest of women’s rights advocate Samar Badawi, Freeland has driven the two countries close to a break in diplomatic relations. “Reprehensible” said Riyadh of Freeland’s tweeted attack. Canada is “engaged in blatant interference […]

Our constitution guarantees freedom of speech and a free press. But how we define such freedom is another question. One thing is clear, however. Speech is not free unless one has the right to express an unpopular opinion. When anyone tries to shut down someone speaking an unpopular opinion, free speech is in jeopardy. Last Saturday, Alex Jones led a […]

Everything went smoothly at first. Ilan, the nine-year old son of American physician Benjamin Davies, MD, broke his arm on vacation in Italy. The local hospital x-rayed the arm, reduced the fractures of each bone and applied a cast. But the question of surgery could only be determined by driving to a bigger hospital 1.5 hours away. Dr. Davies wrote: […]

Written by  Raven Clabough Social-media platforms continue to violate free-speech protections under the guise of prohibiting so-called hate speech and enhancing security. And a Democratic senator is claiming that it is the role of tech companies to engage in such unconstitutional practices and crack down on controversial websites in order to maintain “democracy” in the United States. Shortly after Facebook, Apple, […]

Now the left is saying that if you are a man attracted to women, but you don’t find a man pretending to be a woman attractive, you are a bigot. You read that right, the left has finally found a “love” it doesn’t love. What do I mean by that? Well, what is the first thing that radical gays tell […]

By Matt Vespa  |   TownHall Democratic socialism is the new fad hitting the Democratic Party. The far left is flexing their muscles clinching wins across the country, though they had a rough night in yesterday’s primaries; all of the candidates for the August 7 contests endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost. Ocasio-Cortez is the upstart who clipped Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) in an upset […]

George Rasley, CHQ Editor |  Conservative HQ Police in the Far-Left enclaves of Berkeley, California and Portland, Oregon had to deal riots created by violent Far Left so-called Anti-Fascist (Antifa) thugs over the weekend. Now, according to our friends at chicksonright.com the Berkeley police department posted the arresting information via Twitter, with Department’s tweets including arrested individuals’ names, ages, city of residence, […]

“Alright already, I for one am sick of hearing about, “Illegal Immigrants”, or whatever name you want to give them. With over 40 synonyms for the term-(Illegal), let’s try “Illicit, Criminal, Prohibited, Unlawful”, Not Authorized by Law, in place of Illegal, there does that make it better? Nobody, nor report seems to have a clear handle on just how many […]

by Tred Law  |   (AmmoLand.com) With radical gun banners unable to move the anti-gun ball at the Federal level many have now turned their efforts to local small-town councils to promote their hatred of the Second Amendment by demanding local politicians “do something”. Since most states have preemption laws that prevent towns from enacting their own patchwork quilt of gun control […]

By Howard Portnoy   |   Liberty Unyielding If I were tasked with naming ways in which the media and military could be said to be alike, I might point out that both words start with the letter m. If that’s too weak a  link, then how about the fact that we speak of the press corps, using the same terminology we do to refer to […]

I am always amazed at the TIMING of things in life.  Just after I sent the Greg Laurie piece on the bill board fiasco I rec’d an email from a WGEN reader who asked. “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO FREEDOM?” Here is the answer written by a person more learned on the topic. I’ve never agreed with government *licensing* religion, […]

Senators have big plans for government regulation of social media but U.S. Constitution keeps getting in way. “Censorship breeds censorship envy, and that’s true of private suppression by massively influential platforms such as Facebook as well as of governmental censorship.” John Samples Since the 2016 election Facebook has faced several problems, some related to the election, some not. In 2016 […]

“Can it be believed that a grateful people will suffer [individuals] to be consigned to execution, whose sole crime has been the developing and asserting their rights?” (Thomas Jefferson to William Small, 1775) I would like to lay the groundwork for what I want to say by asking y’all a series of questions; hopefully to get you thinking in the […]

My sense is that there will be a massive, “Red Wave”, this November, which is less than 90 days away.  That written, it is prudent to consider and plan for the opposite to occur. Do you have a 401k?  Are you invested in the stock market?  If so, a Blue Wave in November will result in a massive withdrawal from […]

On meeting with the EU’s Jean-Claude Juncker last month, Donald Trump tweeted: “Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be Free Market and Fair Trade.” Did Larry Kudlow somehow get access to Trump’s phone? We know not. But, on hearing this, Steve Forbes, Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer broke into the “Hallelujah” […]

BY HILLSDALE COLLEGE HUGH HEWITT: Morning glory, America. It’s Hugh here from the relieffactor.com studios on the West Coast. I hope you’ve had a great week. It’s Friday. That music means it’s the last radio hour of the week, which we always give over to the Hillsdale Dialogues, where we go up to 30,000 feet, or look back 5,000 years, or […]
