The Right To Work with Mark Mix 01.11.2021

Americans Are Earning More, and Without Government Handouts 01.10.2021

The Census Bureau's annual report, "Income and Poverty in the United States: 2020" was recently released, and it paints a vastly different picture than what we hear from those on the left who say that Americans need government handouts to get ahead.

What America Can Learn From Clarence Thomas 23.09.2021

Last week, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas arrived at the University of Notre Dame to speak about the Declaration of Independence.

Big Government Is Spending American Families Into Debt 17.09.2021

Democrats are pushing a massive spending deal through Congress under the guise of fixing America's infrastructure and helping the working poor, but most of this spending doesn't actually do any of that.

The Biden Administration's poor planning and hasty execution of the Afghanistan withdrawal have resulted in thousands of Americans and allies stranded in a hostile, Taliban-controlled country.
