4+ hour, 26+ min ago (107+ words) Though we rightly celebrate the young volunteers who went South in the civil rights movement of the 1960s, most stayed only several months or perhaps a few years. Nowadays few remember the names of the small number who remained for the balance of their lives, like Charles Sherrod in southwest Georgia and Robert Mants in Lowndes County, Ala. Similarly, two decades later, someone could decide to become a community organizer on the Far South Side of Chicago before leaving after three years for Harvard Law School, a life in electoral politics, and a lazy retirement in multiple mansions.The post Giant of the Senate appeared first on ....

3+ week, 3+ day ago (778+ words) Our movement is at a crossroads, and the question before us is simple: What does it mean to be a conservative in America today?For years, we have been told what we are against " against the left, against wokeism, against decline. But opposition alone does not define a movement, and it certainly does not define a moral vision.We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.The media, as usual, are eager to supply their own answer. The New York Times recently suggested that Nick Fuentes represents the "future" of conservatism. That's nonsense " a distortion of both truth and tradition. Fuentes and those like him do not represent American conservatism. They represent its counterfeit.Real conservatism is not rage. It…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago (828+ words) New York City voters last week elected socialist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor. It wasn't an isolated win. Across the country, progressives dominated key races, including the gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia.In race after race, conservative, moderate, and establishment Democrats were swept aside by aggressive, hard-left challengers. The message could not be clearer: Conservative messaging " and in some cases, conservative policy " is failing to connect with ordinary voters.Socialists like Mamdani promise utopia through government control. Conservatives cannot counter that with spreadsheets and slogans.Mamdani and his progressive allies succeeded because they campaigned on issues that hit home for millions of Americans: the cost of housing, food, personal debt, and the lack of good jobs.Ironically, those were the very same issues that powered Donald Trump's 2024 victory and brought working-class voters back to the Republican fold....

'I cannot, in good conscience, work under someone who would label me a racist or white supremacist simply for sharing some of Kirk's views.'He referred to the celebration of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, along with New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill's comments about Kirk, as the final straw.Holmes expressed deep concern that Sherrill would secure a victory against Republican rival Jack Ciattarelli on Tuesday."I disagree with…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago (609+ words) Too many right-wingers today equate conservatism with opposing the left, voting for Republicans, or trying to get back to the "good ol" days.But being a true conservative is none of those things, says Glenn Beck. Conservatism isn"t about reacting to the left, obsessing over policies, or worshipping the past. "It's really about principles, he says. "And that"s why we've lost our way because we've lost our principles.So what are the principles that undergird conservatism?In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Program, Glenn delivers an unflinching monologue that reminds us not only what being a conservative is really about, but why recovering true conservatism is critical for the nation"s survival. 1.

1+ week, 4+ day ago (526+ words) EPIC City was a massive Islamic compound being built in East Plano, Texas, but apparently the name was a little too much. And so the city is undergoing a rebrand.It's no longer EPIC City. They decided that's causing a PR problem. Now we are going to rename this. We're not going to stop. We're just going to rename it something very seemingly innocuous and inviting called "The Meadow," BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey explains on "Relatable."So this is not supposed to be a separate city, but it's supposed to just be a neighborhood that happens to be extremely friendly to Muslims, but the same concerns exist. This would be a 402-acre community that includes over a thousand homes, a K-12 Islamic school, a mosque, senior and assisted living, apartments, clinics, shops, a community college, and sports fields," she continues....

1+ week, 3+ day ago (432+ words) One of the first things President Trump did when he got into the Oval Office was to take action to protect children in this country by signing an executive order to ban men from women's sports.And in 2024, Ohio passed a law banning males from competing in girls' sports " but the law isn't actually being enforced. In fact, it is being actively ignored.In an undercover investigation carried out by Accuracy in Media, an interview with Jodi Zunk, assistant principal and athletic director of Eastwood Middle School in Pemberville, Ohio, revealed just that.We as a school are very open, but I will say in the larger community, there is still some " you know, it's a small rural community.
