Today’s Flashback: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Left the Door Open” on Project 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Monday’s National Conservatism Conference, MoveOn Political Action slammed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for previous statements supporting the Heritage Foundation, the right-wing think tank behind Project 2025, the extremist policy proposals for a second Donald Trump administration.  The Deseret News reported that RFK Jr. “left the door open” on Project 2025 and said, “I’ll be interested in talking to everybody.” He also keeps a copy of Heritage’s “Mandate for Leadership” conveniently located on his desk. That doesn’t seem like reference material a so-called “independent” candidate would need…

After Another Ugly Antisemitic Incident in LA, the Left Has Few Words, No Answers

A violent antisemitic mob descended upon a Los Angeles synagogue on Sunday and harassed the congregants, injuring several. Yet the response from the LA media and authorities has been pitiful. The initial protests were organized by Palestinian Youth Movement LA and Code Pink LA, the same coalition of people who’ve organized the protests on college campuses and in our cities. Some of the protesters filmed their march down the streets of Los Angeles holding Palestinian and pro-Hamas flags. They screamed chants like, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.” This…

The Left and Chaos

It is impossible to understand what is happening to America—and to the rest of the West—without understanding the most dynamic ideology of the last hundred years: leftism.

Authoritarian? Conservatives Want to Restore the Constitution. The Left Can’t Handle It.

The Constitution created three branches in the federal government: the Legislature to make the laws, the Executive branch to enforce the laws, and the Judiciary to settle disputes about the laws. Yet the federal government we know and very much do not love doesn’t operate the way the Constitution says it should. Instead, unelected bureaucrats write more rules than Congress does, the president cannot fire bureaucrats who oppose his efforts to keep his promises to the people, and the Supreme Court has unilaterally rewritten the Constitution on issues like abortion,…

Well-Intentioned AmeriCorps Now Rotten to Core After Falling to Woke Left

AmeriCorps, an independent federal agency that provides stipends for more than 5 million Americans who do volunteer work, misled the public on how much it spends in its grant program.  A program launched under President George H.W. Bush, AmeriCorps was expanded under President Bill Clinton and officially became a corps under Bush’s son, President George W. Bush. Today, though, it appears to have become rotten to the core.  The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project recently obtained information showing that AmeriCorps, which received $ 1.1 billion last year in congressional appropriations, purposely misled Americans…
