Why I Support America’s Controversial College
Last time, we discussed the arrogance seeping from a recent call to abolish the electoral college. In a press release from last December, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) essentially claimed to know better than America’s founding generations and their “18th-century invention.”

U.S. House Passes Bill Protecting Women and Girls in Sports
The new session of Congress is off and running, and we are thrilled to report that yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, by a vote of 218-206 (with 2 not voting).

Spicy Remarks About America’s Electoral College
It's come up hundreds of times before. But it's back again. Brace yourself for yet another proposal to nix the electoral college. In the middle of December, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) published a press release announcing a new proposal to abolish the way Americans have always elected their president. Joining him were Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Peter Welch (D-VT).

Legislation to Protect Women and Girls in Sports is Here!
Women's sports are under attack by left-wing fanatics who's ultimate goal is the eradication of any and all distinctions between male and female. Our daughters, granddaughters, and nieces work hard to become competitive athletes - they shouldn't have to worry about unfair contests from confused biological men.

“Follow the Science” Except When it Comes to Marijuana
Last month, President Joe Biden announced that his administration approved downgrading the seriousness of marijuana despite overwhelming evidence that it is an addictive drug with no medical benefit and a high potential for abuse.

Pelosi Durbin and the Denial of Communion
A question that’s been roiling the Catholic Church for years is whether Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin and other Catholic politicians should be denied Communion since they support the legalized killing of children in the womb.

Quashing States’ Rights Gets Quashed!
Have you heard? Abortion cheerleaders were at it again! Earlier this week they attempted to overturn state legislative abortion restrictions. Their weapon? The so-called "Women’s Health Protection Act" (H.R. 3755) - led by U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and U.S. Representative Judy Chu (D-CA). The proposal passed the U.S. House by a vote of 218-211 on September 24, 2021. It was taken up by the U.S. Senate on Monday, February 28, 2022 where cloture was opposed by all Republicans and one Democrat: U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). The motion failed by a vote of 46-48.

U.S. House Approves $400 million to Track Immunizations
The growth of the federal government’s power over the last two years is problematic. Increasingly lawmakers are using the pandemic as an excuse to control every aspect of their citizens’ lives. It now seems that they want to further control and surveillance the health records of their citizens. The US House of Representatives passed HR 550, the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2021, on November 30, 2021. The bill is a complex idea that will create a network of computers and databases capable of further tracking immunization for the local, state, and federal governments.

Are Progressives Allies of Women or Misogynists?
Leftists seek to destroy every created thing that emerges from or depends on the real and foundational distinctions between males and females. Eradicating all distinctions between males and females entails socially constructing a false understanding of marriage. It entails distorting the public understanding of the purposes for and boundaries of sex and reproduction. It entails transforming the public understanding of the needs and rights of children. And it entails a wholesale assault on all sex-associated phenomena, including clothing, hairstyles, grammar, private space usage, sports, and even human bodies.

Fools and Hypocrites Defend Abortion
Nothing exposes the ignorance and evil of “progressivism” quite like discussions of the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
Nothing exposes the hollowness of leftist claims to care about social justice, the poor, and the weak like their eagerness to keep the slaughter of humans in the womb legal.
Nothing exposes the loathing of leftists for those deemed “other” by the powerful than their seething rage at the possibility they may lose the right to kill those they “other.” Leftists view humans with defects and humans created by the criminal acts of their fathers as undeserving of existence. Leftist …

Border Crisis Leading to Human Trafficking and Other Disasters
The crisis along the US-Mexican border continues with little effort from the Biden administration to stop the flood. In September, Del Rio, Texas, was nearly overrun when 30,000 illegal immigrants poured over the border into the town. This action meant illegal immigrants almost outnumbered actual citizens and, as a result, Del Rio’s public areas and living conditions deteriorated noticeably.

Radical Pro-Abortion Bill in Washington D.C.
Last Friday, by a vote of 218 to 211, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a radical pro-abortion bill that would essentially codify Roe v. Wade. The so-called "Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021" (H.R. 3755) would create an absolute right to abortion in federal law, superseding all state laws. The vote fell along party lines, with only one Democrat—U.S. Representatives Henry Cuellar (D-TX)—voting against the bill.

Executive Order Makes Biden Regime Lone Wolf in Tyrannical Vaccine Mandates
