Today, May 1, The Blaze published a piece on the Senate’s Wed. night rejection of a resolution which would have put a halt to the tariffs recently imposed by Donald Trump on various foreign trading partners. When voting on the motion resulted in a 49 to 49 tie, Vice President J. D. Vance cast the …
In an attempt to secure the integrity of America’s national elections, the Trump administration is seeking to deter non-citizens from voting by including a proof of citizenship requirement on the federal voter registration form.

Two wonderful human beings with whom I have become familiar over the last few months illustrate the superficiality of the Marxist concept of Materialistic Determinism, the Leftist notion that people who fail to excel are invariably victims of the “oppressive” circumstances to which they were born. Both Mosab Yousef and Narges Mohammadi in fact epitomize …

On March 13, British Columbia’s College of Nurses ruled against Amy Hamm who, while never having mistreated anyone of a Trans Identity consigned to her care, was nevertheless deemed to be utterly unprofessional in her insistence that Nature’s Norm consists of Two Genders from which all others are deviations.
