President Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections has stirred up a political hornet’s nest. Democrats are calling it “voter suppression.” Republicans hail it as a “return to election integrity.” And most ordinary Americans are probably scratching their heads wondering, “Wait a minute… shouldn’t we already be doing that?” It’s…
Why President Trump’s New Refugee Cap Isn’t the End of American Compassion
Well, the media is howling again. This time it’s over President Trump’s decision to set the refugee admissions cap at 7,500 per year, the lowest in U.S. history, and to prioritize white South Africans (Afrikaners) who’ve faced targeted violence back home. You’d think, from the headlines, that Lady Liberty herself just packed up and left…
Trump’s China Deal Brings Hope to America’s Heartland
Well, it looks like China’s back at the table and they’re hungry for soybeans again. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, China has agreed to buy 25 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans annually for the next three years. That’s music to the ears of American farmers who’ve been sweating through trade wars, droughts, and…
The Moral Weight of America’s Return to Nuclear Testing
When President Trump tells the Pentagon to dust off the old test tunnels in Nevada, you can almost hear the collective gasp echo from Washington to Geneva. After more than three decades of quiet on the nuclear front, the United States is preparing to “match Russia and China” by restarting nuclear weapons testing. That’s not…
Trump’s Nuclear Sub Deal with South Korea
When President Trump announced that the United States would share nuclear-powered submarine technology with South Korea, jaws hit the floor faster than a dropped anchor. It’s not every day that the world’s most guarded military technology gets a ticket across the Pacific. But in classic Trump fashion, it’s a move that’s both audacious and strategic:…
The Moral Collapse in Sudan’s Darfur
By any measure of human decency, what has happened in El Fasher — the capital of North Darfur in Sudan — is a catastrophic moral failure. When paramilitary thugs storm a hospital and murder patients in their beds, we’re no longer talking about a civil war. We’re talking about genocide. And the world’s silence is deafening.…
The Autopen Presidency: What James Comer’s Report Reveals and Why It Matters
There’s a reason Americans expect the president’s signature to mean something. When that pen touches paper, it isn’t just ink. It’s authority, responsibility, and the solemn weight of an oath sworn before God and country. But what happens when the pen isn’t held by the president at all? That’s the question House Oversight Chairman James…
Stop Using Federal Workers as Political Pawns
Let’s call this shutdown what it is: a national embarrassment. Once again, Congress has failed to do its most basic job — fund the government — and, once again, federal workers are being turned into bargaining chips in a high-stakes game of political chicken. This time, Senator Ron Johnson (R–Wis.) tried to do something practical.…
A Moment of Truth for Indiana’s GOP
The announcement by Mike Braun of a special session to redraw congressional lines is more than just another political maneuver. It’s a litmus test for conservative governance, institutional integrity, and how much the national party machine should drive state-level decisions. Fidelity to Principle or to Power? Conservatives rightly emphasize respect for institutions, transparent processes, and…
East Timor Joins ASEAN: A Small Country with a Big Lesson for the World
East Timor just made history by becoming the 11th member of ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. That might sound like bureaucratic alphabet soup, but it’s a big deal, both for Asia and for anyone who still believes in freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination. This marks ASEAN’s first expansion since the 1990s, and it welcomes…
