An America First Court?
Will it be the Constitution or COVID? Is justice blind or masked?
The Book on the Key Issue of 2020
Citizenship is the key question of 2020. The founders rejected British common law, which never mentioned citizens, only subjects. Democrats would take us back to that.
Biden Warns Us About His Authoritarianism
The smooth-talking demagogue from Delaware invokes the authoritarian ghost of Democrats past.
Anti-Anti-Discrimination: How the California Elites Harm Minorities
The passage of Proposition 16 threatens to inflame California in an ugly way we thought we had outgrown.
On Race, Biden is Speedy Joe
Americans must realize Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are racial fanatics and defend their honor against their new would-be “slaveocracy.”
The Case Against Slavery and Against ‘Anti-Racism’
Today’s anti-racists share in common the zeal of yesterday’s temperance advocates. For the fundamental evil of reformist revolutionaries is certainly not being drunk on alcohol but rather being drunk on power.
C’mon, Biden as Race Man
Democrats will always lie about race. This is a brief history of their efforts and the apparent motivations behind them.
Harris Drops Her Mask
Harris’ “none of us are free … until all of us are free …” rhetoric would have been alien to the founders and to Abraham Lincoln as it eschews individual rights and duties, instead making an appeal to collective ones.
Fully Woke Joe
Not “sleepy” at all, Biden would distort the heart of American finance and transform the nation’s basic economic structure using the mantra of “civil rights” and equality.
Trump Tax Cases Highlight the Court as Servant of the Administrative State
The justices who think Congress is still about legislating, when it has been clear for 50 years that it serves to fund and reinforce the administrative state, do not see their own role in perpetuating it and in failing to end it.
Trump Calls Out the New Confederate and Tory Mobs
The president, not the mobs, marches with King demanding that “promissory note” of the Declaration of Independence. They both affirm America’s founding document that “American freedom exists for American greatness.”
Lincoln’s New Assassins
The fact that we have produced senseless mobs willing to tear down our monuments testifies to the fact that we, the living, need to do more to honor our nation’s living spirit, not merely take selfies before dead bronze.
A New Dred Scott Decision Immortalizing Bureaucracy
Aided by a life-tenured court, the administrative state may have found its Dred Scott case in DHS v. Regents—and thereby the means for making itself the true ruler of America.
Gorsuch Takes a Knee
When people who believe there are boys and there are girls get treated as slaves, they should not look for judges to help them out, especially when it was the judges who got them into this mess.
Democrats Confining Americans Like it’s 1942
In many ways, the government and military in post-Pearl Harbor 1942 presented a far more credible case for the social distancing of the ethnic Japanese relocation than the various governments have today for the COVID-19 regulations.
Have COVID-19 and the Riots Exposed How We Destroyed the Declaration?
A return to the state of nature.
‘The Weight’ Worth Waiting For
The 50th anniversary performance of “The Weight” is universal not only in the diversity of the performers and their instruments made possible by technology. It reflects as well the universality of the Christian promise of Easter, one of repentance and renewal.
Was the Revolution About Reason?
What Thompson evidently wants to do is substitute his Enlightenment natural right epistemology for that of Tocqueville, and withal his own Enlightenment rationality for the theological-political unity Tocqueville struggled with.
A Resource for Religious Liberty
Religious Liberty is the latest in the Ashbrook Center’s series of document collections covering major periods, themes, and institutions in American history and government.
The Unimpeachable Soul of America
We are a people ever ancient, ever new. Not theatrics, but this old teaching is at the heart of President Trump’s remarkable State of the Union address.
