Senator Graham's End Sanctuary Cities Act would jail officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. With over 200 sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with ICE, and real people dying as a result, the real outrage is that we need this law at all. The Constitution isn't a menu. You don't get to skip the parts you find inconvenient.
Democrats championed nonpartisan redistricting in Virginia. Now they want to scrap it and redraw the maps 10-1 in their favor. Constitutional principles, it turns out, have expiration dates.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear Watson v. Republican National Committee, a case that could redefine what “Election Day” means nationwide. At stake is whether ballots must be received by Election Day or may arrive afterward — a decision with major implications for election law, voter confidence, and the uniformity of federal elections.
Politicians don't get to decide what speech might make them look bad. That's not how the First Amendment works. Political satire has been protected since before the ink dried on the Bill of Rights, and it'll be protected long after today's thin-skinned legislators are retired to their private islands, made affordable with proceeds from “lucky investments” of their government salaries.
FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent comments about firearms at protests sparked a needed reminder: the Bill of Rights isn’t a buffet. Carrying a firearm at a peaceful protest remains constitutionally protected, while criminal behavior, like interfering with law enforcement, brings its own legal consequences. The danger lies in blurring that line. When officials imply that lawful carry equals a threat, they unintentionally hand ammunition to those eager to chip away at constitutional rights.
Commemorating Constitution Day recognizes the formal completion of the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787, when 39 Constitutional Convention delegates signed the document. Over the next nine months, states worked to ratify the Constitution, with the nine necessary states making it official on June 21, 1788, with New Hampshire’s approval. By May 29, 1790, all 13 states had ratified the guiding principles for the new government.
In 2002, I became the first (and possibly last) Director of School Choice at the U.S. Department of Education. President George W. Bush had assembled a great team of reformers who sought to empower parents and children through expansion of school choice and a reduction in bureaucratic nonsense. What did I learn in those three and a half years? The agency should be bulldozed. It is a gigantic cesspool of apparatchiks who are sucking up money that should go to the students.
The curly-haired five-year-old was in trouble again. The year was 1967, and her kindergarten teacher had sent her to sit in the corner for the third time that week. The same crime was committed almost every day during recess. The little girl acted a lot like a little boy. The teacher requested that Mom stop the “inappropriate behavior,” but the mother insisted on a compromise: she would have her daughter wear shorts under her dress each day. That teacher was wrong. But not as wrong as a progressive 2023 teacher who would insist that such a little girl is actually a little boy trapped in a little girl’s body.
Our nation is in peril, and we need to be strong and of good courage as we fight to save the country. Executive Director LTC Allen West and I thank you for your love of country and ask you to continue to support ACRU and ACRU's Committee to Support and Defend—America's Constitutional Conservative Veteran's organization. We will not stop fighting for our constitutional republic.
ACRU is proud to partner with AMAC—the conservatives' alternative to AARP—to fight for liberty and American values. LTC Allen West and I are members of AMAC, and we encourage ACRU members to join forces as we mobilize Americans to fight for all that we hold dear.
