Is the Constitution hazardous to our nation? According to the New York Times it is. At least, that’s what the Times’ book critic Jennifer Szalai postulates in her recent article, “The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?” She writes, “Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us; a growing chorus now wonders […]

George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” So, there’s a battle over history. That battle continues in our day. A June 2024 survey of 3,000 college students dealt with basic knowledge of American history and government. Unfortunately, they found a […]

Bad ideas can often get accepted long after they were initially rejected. One generation recoils at a proposal. The next generation might cozy up to it. And the one after that might accept it. Some on the left, including the lame duck President Joe Biden and AOC, want to gut the Supreme Court. They haven’t […]

Usually, when something alarming happens, it raises red flags. But this time, it was the raising of a flag (and not even a red one) that caused alarm.

But sometimes supposed scientific emergencies suspend Constitutional power for all practical purposes. Efforts to fight supposed climate change could easily be put into such a category. Are climate change lockdowns coming? Consider these recent headlines compiled by Publius PR in the category: “Are Climate […]

September 17th each year marks the historic moment in “the year of our Lord 1787” when the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia. This was a great milestone in world history. More of the constitutions around the world have been patterned after our nation’s governing document than any other frame of government. But today the Constitution […]

There is a vital battle over education in our day. And if we lose it, we could ultimately lose the country.
