The Law of the Land in the Land of Lincoln

In the Land of Lincoln, the Law of the Land no longer holds. Allen West on how Chicago's sanctuary policies, its war on religious liberty, and its contempt for the Second Amendment reveal a Marxist left that honors the Constitution only when it's convenient, and the deadly cost when it doesn't.

What is Election Day?

Military Service is a Privilege, not a Constitutional Right

A D.C. Circuit panel just ruled that the transgender military ban likely violates equal protection. Allen West argues they have it exactly backward: serving in uniform was never a constitutional right. It's a privilege, and military readiness, not ideology, decides who earns it.
