There’s a battle right now related to religion and Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters is in favor of greater religious expression in the public schools of that state. Others in the “The Sooner State,” including the state attorney general and some confused clergy, oppose what Walters is attempting to do. Walters wants school children […]

The Constitution begins “We the people,” not “we the judges.” Lately, there has been a tussle between activist judges and President Trump. Some critics argue that some of these judges are acting as if they were the ones elected to the Oval office. FoxNews reports on the issue of “whether a lower court can properly […]

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 […]

Jeff Landry, the governor of Louisiana, has been stirring a hornets’ nest recently by promoting a law that mandates the Ten Commandments in that state’s public schools. Already the ACLU are suing to block the new bill on behalf of some parents. Fox News reports on the controversy Gov. Landry has sparked. The governor said: […]

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.

When Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech promoting abortion over the weekend, she cited our nation’s founding document, and the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But […]

Recently, during a debate, a U.S. Congressional candidate was asked, in effect, if he was an “election denier”—that is, did he have any questions about who was the duly elected president in 2020? His answer was brilliant: “Sir, Joe Biden is the president of the United States. If you don’t believe me, go to your […]

Is God making a comeback in some of the public schools of Texas? A news item last week gives a glimmer of hope that it may be so. 60 years ago this summer, the Supreme Court effectively banished God from the public schools. They did this in the first anti-school prayer case. On June 17, […]
