Image Creditdconvertini/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 2.0 The U.S. Supreme Court added to its 2026 docket on Monday two high-profile cases dealing with race and school admissions and a Reconstruction-era federal ban on at-home distilling. In its latest order list, the high court revealed that it has agreed to take up and hear arguments in Association for Education Fairness (AEF) v. Montgomery County Board of Education, which deals with the subject of disparate impact in school admissions.
If Thune Doesn’t Censure Slotkin, He Supports Nuking All GOP Staffers Original
Democrats have been unusually mask-off heading into midterm election season, trying to get voters to believe it’s “moderate” to accept Islamist communism because of high gas prices. The latest foreboding reveal came from Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin over the weekend. She bird-handed the formerly subtextual part on camera: “I wanna look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president but on the people who enabled him.
The Unholy Marriage Between Marxists And Islamists Is ‘The Most Dangerous Partnership’ In U.S. Politics Original
As France burns, a Washington, D.C.-based government watchdog is sending out an Election Day warning about the designs of the Red-Green Alliance. The unlikely and unholy marriage between Marxists and Islamists is now devouring France under the guise of student discontent. Make no mistake. The young, as they often are, serve as the useful idiots of a revolution fueled by leftist money and global intifada manpower.
Feminists Ask Men To Sleep With Them, Leave Them Alone, And Save Them From Themselves Original
Bill Maher took a few moments on his show recently to chastise the fraternity boys of his alma mater, Cornell University. Fraternities, he noted, should produce gentlemen. When a gentleman sees a woman in a vulnerable situation, he “doesn’t exploit the woman; he saves her.” The reason Maher sounds like your wise old uncle from the ’80s is that he is voicing the wisdom of the ages, based on real differences between men and women.
Instead of Making Canada The 51st State, Just Take Alberta Original
In 2026, resentment with Canada is reaching a fever pitch in Alberta. This week, voters will head to the polls for a “separation referendum.” The question is simple: Should Alberta remain a part of Canada, or should it leave? While the results are non-binding and the Ottawa establishment will likely attempt to ignore them, the decision could be historic.
Big Law Is Backing The Climate Adversaries Of Their Energy Clients Original
Massive energy companies are funding both sides of multibillion-dollar climate litigation because the high-dollar law firms conducting their defense also support their legal adversaries. Major litigation using climate activists’ strategy reaches the Supreme Court Monday morning in Suncor v. Boulder. That case concerns whether climate activists can use anti-Constitution courts as a national superlegislature to decommission the reliable energy that undergirds the U.S. economy.
How Boomers Can Save What’s Left Of America For Younger Generations Original
This is an extended version of a speech given to Eagle Forum’s national conference last week. Are millennials and Gen Z better off than their parents?
Nikole Hannah-Jones’ Racism Is Why Her Daughter Can’t Do Math Original
Nikole Hannah-Jones has curated herself an extremely lucrative, notoriety-winning career by blaming white people for black people’s problems. In her latest article for The New York Times Magazine, she does it again. It’s titled, “In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?” In it, the creator of the scholarly abomination known as the 1619 Project admits that her warped educational ideas have harmed her daughter’s future and their relationship.

What To Do When Cancel Culture Invades Your Home Original
Abandonment is a dominant theme of our age, and most of it is government-enabled. Adults abandon their own children and spouses en masse through no-responsibility divorce, subsidized indolence, and abortion. Children abandon parents to old folks’ homes, some visiting rarely. And parents abandon children to daycare from birth, screentime with deranged strangers, and public schools that increasingly function like orphanages.
U.K. Bans Bishop, Lawmaker Convicted Of ‘Hate Speech’ For Agreeing With The Bible Original
A U.K. travel ban on two European Christians persecuted for their faith is preventing one, a prominent Finnish politician, from speaking to a U.K. legislative body this week. The revocation appears to be based on a wrongful conviction of Finnish Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola for publishing a booklet discussing the Bible’s theology of male and female differences, says free speech law firm Alliance Defending Freedom.
‘Postpartum Depression’ Or Not, Lindsay Clancy Should Be Executed For Murder Original
This article discusses gruesome facts about a triple murder. The attorney for “Massachusetts mom” Lindsay Clancy admits she strangled her three young children to death with exercise bands, according to CBS News. Yet he argues she shouldn’t be held responsible for this demonically evil choice because “she was overmedicated for mental health issues and was suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis.” The children were 5, 3, and 8 months old at the time of their painful deaths.
Docs: Democrat Special Counsel Jack Smith Spied On, Lied To Congress Original
Public documents newly released by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson show that Jack Smith spied on Congress as a special counsel, then lied to them about it. It’s the latest in a congressional investigation Grassley says has already uncovered criminal abuse of power by Democrats that is far “worse than Watergate.” During the Biden Department of Justice’s investigation of Donald Trump under the pretext of prosecuting Jan.
If Governments Won’t End No-Fault Divorce, Churches Should Help
Everyone living in the West is deeply affected by chronic sexual chaos. It is one of the prime enemies of the American way of life, because citizens who do not grow up with their lifetime-married biological parents are usually less capable of self-government. So are most men and women who do not marry, as marriage naturally and highly develops the self-sacrificial habits required for self-government.

SCOTUS Pasting Birth Tourism Into The Constitution Demands A Legal System Rebuild
The Roberts Court just handed down a majority birthplace citizenship decision on the legal level of Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade. No judge who calls himself an originalist, textualist, or in any way claims dedication to American rule of law could support the 5-4 majority in Trump v. Barbara. As the dissents and much other scholarly work show plainly and definitively, the 14th Amendment simply does not say that anyone who happens to be born on U.S. soil thereby magically becomes a U.S. citizen.
GOP-Run Indiana City Considers Democrat-Run, California-Style Homeless Center Original
The Republican-run council in Indiana’s second-largest city votes Tuesday on its Democrat mayor’s proposal to install a homeless center that would serve drunk, high, and otherwise criminal residents without any expectations or ID checks. Research and experience show similar “low-barrier” centers in Democrat-run states such as Illinois and California increase homelessness and addiction, as well as crime, vagrancy, and public spending.
European Author Of Banned Book: ‘It Is Christianity They Are Trying To Censor’ Original
A Protestant bishop and pastor’s wife will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights the Finnish Supreme Court’s recent ban on their speech affirming what the Bible says about human sexuality. The appeal could take years amid escalating Soviet-like restrictions on free speech and religious expression across the continent that extend to Americans under European internet censorship.
The American Book Of Fables Is An America 250 Roadtrip From Your Porch Swing Original
Many families I know are cutting summer road trips due to the highest gas prices many of us have ever seen. That’s especially sad given this national semiquincentennial should be the year of extra roadtrips to visit historical and commemorative sites and activities. The United States has such breathtakingly distinct landscapes, completely unlike any other place in the world.
GOP Voters Don’t Want Mike Pence’s Republican Party Original
Indiana Republican primary voters netted dramatic changes up and down ballots Tuesday, kicking out a wave of establishment-allied incumbents while reinforcing many incumbent conservatives against party-backed challengers from their left. The headlines focused on eight Republican state senators who faced primary challengers backed by President Donald Trump for failing to redistrict the state to combat Democrat-run states’ rampant gerrymandering of congressional districts.
New Docs Reinforce The Newest DC District Judge Is A Legal Hack Skilled In Abusing Power Original
New federal documents released Monday shed more light on the wildly partisan history of power abuses by the troubled D.C. District Court’s newest judge, Sparkle Sooknanan. An approximately 900-page Department of Justice report released Monday details systematic abuses of power and constitutional violations by Biden administration efforts to prosecute Americans for pro-life speech.
Finland’s Supreme Court Convicts Christians Of ‘Hate Speech’ For Saying Men And Women Are Different
In a decision released this morning, Finland’s supreme court voted 3-2 to convict a bishop and a member of parliament for publishing a pamphlet explaining Christian theology about sexual differences. The decision could tacitly ban orthodox Christianity in Finland by banning Christians from speaking about what the Bible clearly says.
Media, 29 Federal Judges Freak Out Over Rude Words In Dissent Attacking Trans Child Abuse
This article quotes crass language for male bodies. Judge Lawrence VanDyke pre-emptively nuked corporate-media pearl-clutching in his recent dissent from a Ninth Circuit decision forcing a nude, female-only Korean spa frequented by minors to admit men in the name of “trans rights.” “Squirm as we might, I think it’s only fair for our court to have a small taste of its own medicine,” VanDyke wrote.
Red States Struggle To Deliver Pro-American History In Schools Original
Republican-controlled Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming are revising social studies curricula for K-12 public schools, promising voters accurate, non-leftist revisions. Yet Iowa recently delivered new K-12 curricula that entrench rather than solve the nationwide crisis of fact-challenged, anti-American Marxists controlling publicly financed history instruction. Oklahoma is one public comment period away from a similar outcome. That public comment closes Wednesday.
Law Firm Picks Up Dobbs Litigator To Fuel Supreme Court Wins Original
Image CreditImage courtesy of Lex Politica A key member of the legal team that convinced the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade has joined a new law firm to pursue a broader range of appellate and Supreme Court victories. Erin Hawley told The Federalist in a Zoom call Tuesday she’s joining Lex Politica to chair its Supreme Court and appellate litigation team. “We’ve got a court that’s committed to originalism,” Hawley noted.
How Europe Is Banning Americans From Saying What We Believe Original
The European Union now constantly violates fundamental Western rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion and claims the power to ban speech across the globe, European witnesses testified to the U.S. Congress Wednesday morning. “European laws [are] now being exported by the European Union. … American speech is already being affected,” testified Lorcán Price, an Irish lawyer for Alliance Defending Freedom International.
Indiana Upgrades Immigration Bill To Boost Deportation Efforts Original

State Rep. J.D. Prescott successfully amended Senate Bill 76 in committee Monday to incorporate key measures of a stronger enforcement bill he proposed in the House, known as the Fairness Act.
Yes, Pastors Can Work For ICE Enforcing U.S. Immigration Laws Original
On Sunday, leftist protesters disrupted a Minneapolis-area Baptist church service due to allegations one of the church’s pastors has a day job enforcing federal immigration law. Former CNN host Don Lemon accompanied the protesters and claimed they have constitutional speech rights to disrupt other Americans’ constitutionally protected rights to freely worship and to private church property. Top federal legal officers disagreed. We are on it @CivilRights, working with the USAO in Minneapolis.

It's Not Just Minnesota. The Vast Majority Of Daycare Is A Scam Original
The Trump administration announced it is pausing all child-care payments to Minnesota in light of explosive revelations about Somali-saturated fraud rings siphoning billions from federal welfare programs. State officials in Ohio, where the second-largest Somali population resides in the United States, are begging for a federal fraud investigation there.
Christmas With Six Kids Makes Me Want Seven Original
Being a mother at Christmastide is perhaps the height of feminine joy. Sure, some emotionally unbalanced women very publicly complain about all the wrapping, cooking, and activities. But they need to figure out how to center and organize themselves, because complaining about wrapping a present ignores that it gets you something precious: the look in your child’s eyes when you put it under the tree, after their excitement when you ban them from your bedroom while they know you are wrapping.
Indiana's Redistricting Fail Is More Complicated Than You Think Original
The corporate press has consistently depicted the Indiana Senate’s Thursday vote against creating more pro-Republican congressional maps as a sign of “loyalty” or “betrayal” of President Trump. But the reality is a lot more complicated, and it has a lot to say about the current distraction and incompetence of the Republican Party. “Indiana lawmakers defy Trump’s redistricting push,” headlined The New York Times. “Indiana Republicans defy Trump,” headlined the Associated Press.
'Gold-Standard' Immigration Bill Slows In Indiana Amid Redistricting Original
While the Indiana legislature’s congressional redistricting efforts generate massive national attention, a weaker immigration enforcement bill is quietly moving faster than a stronger, “gold-standard” bill supported by Gov. Mike Braun and border czar Tom Homan. The two immigration bills, Senate Bill 76 and House Bill 1039, include a lot of identical language. But SB 76 weakens and drops a number of HB 1039’s provisions. SB 76 is sponsored by Sen.
15 Alternative Health Products With Black Friday Deals Right Now Original
I grew up on an organic farm my father started decades before Make America Healthy Again was a twinkle in RFK’s eye. My parents were grinding their own flour and giving us raw milk from the family cow throughout my childhood. As my husband says, we’re all hippies now, and my childhood’s wholesome but also isolating and exhausting “homesteading” lifestyle now grabs millions of Instagram eyeballs from city people who have no idea how hard small-time farming really is.
War Dept Battles To Reinstate 86 Covid-Lost Soldiers Original
It’s been ten months since President Donald Trump ordered the full reinstatement of any willing military employees ejected for declining Covid-19 shots, but as of Nov. 15 just 86 such personnel have been reinstated. The reinstatements so far account for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the military personnel who likely left over the Biden administration mandate, depleting the military of some of its highest-character members and causing a historic personnel crisis.
War Secretaries On Bringing Back Manufacturing, Covid Objectors Original
The U.S. Navy has reduced its reinstatement time of service members separated for declining a Covid-19 shot from six months to two, Secretary John Phelan told The Federalist Wednesday. “I think we are pretty far ahead of most of the other services” in fulfilling the Trump administration’s promise to reinstate service members with back pay and erase career penalties for conscientious refusals to accept Covid-19 shots, Phelan said during Q&A at a public event.
IN AG Subpoenas Amazon, Sues Schools Over Migrant Trafficking Original
Indiana’s attorney general took two major enforcement actions this week targeting potential migrant trafficking. This week, Todd Rokita’s office sent subpoenas to several Indiana entities, including Fort Wayne, the state’s second-largest city; Amazon; and Catholic Charities. “I believe these entities have vital information to root out labor trafficking right here,” Rokita said in a press conference at the Allen County courthouse Nov. 13.
5 Ways To Prep For Thanksgiving and Christmas Right Now Original
Christians’ fathers and mothers in the faith gifted us a season of preparation right at the perfect moment, in the weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas.

Such images fill my thoughts as I execute the big mom job of making the holidays happen.
How Respecting Women's Biology Fosters A Culture of Life Original
This is the written version of a speech the author gave in September at the Lutherans for Life annual conference. According to demographer Nicholas Eberstadt, for the first time in human history since the bubonic plague in the medieval 1300s, global population is declining. The world’s fertility rate just hit a 60-year low, and it’s set to keep decreasing. The nations with replacement-rate fertility are largely terrible places where people die young, such as Somalia, the Congo, and Afghanistan.
Finland's Top Court To Rule On Whether Quoting Bible Is A Crime Original
As speech and religious repression tightens across Europe, Finland’s Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday about whether quoting the Bible is illegal “hate speech” under its war crimes laws.

Border Czar Asks Indiana To Send Biden Border Crossers Home Original
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Indiana lawmakers and sheriffs gave at least three standing ovations to U.S. border czar Tom Homan Tuesday in the state capitol as he urged them to pass state legislation to bolster immigration enforcement. “Despite all the hate and all the attacks on me, Tom Homan is not going anywhere. I promised President Trump I will finish this job,” the beefy 63-year-old stated from the speaker’s podium of the Indiana House floor, prompting one of the standing ovations.
Why Democrats Are Backing An Illegal Alien To Run Iowa Schools Original
State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release.
Why Imposing Consequences For Evil Acts Isn't Cancel Culture
Free speech absolutists created a rhetorical weapon for the left to hypocritically deploy against conservatives in insisting it’s wrong to impose any social penalties on anyone for any reason under the label “cancel culture.” But the term “cancel culture” really indicates the left’s efforts to institute an Americanized form of the Communist Chinese social credit system. Cancel culture and holding people accountable are two different things. And here’s why.
New FBI Releases From School Shooter Depict Demons Original
Newly released pages from a Nashville child murderer’s diary show the gender-confused Christian school shooter calling herself “the Devil’s apprentice,” writing in multiple personas, and taking the persona of demons.

After nail-biting visa difficulties, Canadian pastor Harold Ristau and his family returned to Wyoming days before the start of the first full classes ever at a new classical college Aug. 25.

MN Shooting Shows Democrat Comfort With Satanic Talking Points Original
This week, another transgender shoot-up of a Christian school provides more chilling evidence that the culture war is a spiritual war. The Minneapolis shooter’s actions and Democrats’ interpretation of them both demonstrate this. The New York Post published excerpts of the shooter’s journal posted on YouTube that include a drawing of him communing with a Satanic figure in a mirror.
Saving Kids From Trans Contagion Will Take More Than Laws
While the Trump administration and many state legislatures are showing it is possible to ban transgender child mutilation procedures, the top contributing factors to children adopting a transgender identity haven’t gone away. Those include family breakdown, psychological abuse, and leftist-controlled mass media. Government can affect these factors, but not quickly. This means the transgender social contagion will last some time, especially in culturally leftist locales.
