Title X Noose Removed From the Hands of Planned Parenthood by Jake MacAulay As reported by the Washington Post:  Planned Parenthood  announced Monday that it is pulling out of the Title X federal family planning program (for low-income Americans) rather than abide by a new Trump administration rule prohibiting participants from referring patients for abortions.Pro-life groups heralded the abrupt decision as a major victory — and one that signaled that Planned Parenthood, cont

Who Made the Rules for the Struggle of Liberty? by Jake MacAulay Are you distressed that many in America are rapidly digressing from the principled, honorable standard of morality we once held? This standard produced an example of biblical morality that constructed one of the greatest civil documents of liberty the world has ever seen: the Declaration of Independence. The principles of this Document still motivate the world, as seen by recent demonstrations in Hong Kong.  As

If Black Lives Matter Why Take Away Their Guns? by Jake MacAulay Very few Americans will remember the following historical facts regarding Black-American gun ownership in America: The first task of the Democrat-controlled Ku Klux Klan was to disarm the black population in the South.  It was citizen militias that repelled white mobs who were attacking black neighborhoods in many Northern cities in the days before reconstruction. On at least two occasions, those militias were c

Democratic Socialists are Absurd by Jake MacAulay What we are witnessing in the current political arena, mainstream media, and public education has become nonsensical. It is the intentional validation of absurdity, and it is not reality.  Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “absurd” as:  opposed to manifest truth; inconsistent with reason or the plain dictates of common sense .  An absurd man acts contrary to the clear dictates of reason or sound judgment.  An absurd propositio

This Leftist Gave Me a Piece of His Mind by Jake MacAulay Last week we discussed a group of women serving in Congress labeled “The Squad” who support various anti-American socialist concepts and policies.  In response to my column, I received a long, exhaustive email in support of The Squad while excoriating my supposed hateful, narrow-mindedness.  This week I want to take you into the mind of a leftist as I share his Un-American view. His philosophy of government is a direct

This Squad Certainly Doesn't Play for America by Jake MacAulay Samuel Adams, known as the “Father of the American Revolution,” once made the statement: “If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” In his farsightedness, Adams defined the infectious political climate of Americans today.  In this current day and age, we have individuals swea

Deportation Raids: Constitutional? by Jake MacAulay I believe we can all agree that despite our shortcomings the United States is likely the greatest country to live in. This, of course, is due to the blessings of Almighty God and the unashamed dedication our Founding Fathers had to Him and His Law. They believed in a doctrine of sacred “God-given Rights” and what is termed “the Rule of Law,” which would defend and ensure those sacred rights.  It should be noted that the heig

What Was Missing at the World Cup? by Jake MacAulay Though I didn’t watch much of the Women’s World Cup this past weekend, I sure was happy to hear that America emerged victorious. Unlike other victorious World Cup teams across the world, there was no mention of thanks to God or Jesus from the American players.  I believe this is symptomatic of the emerging citizenry of America. Tragically, the outward proclamation of our belief, reliance, and thankfulness to our Creator is b

Understanding Independence by Jake MacAulay As we enter the 244th year of the independence of these United States, it seems more than appropriate that we pause and consider what “independence” means, from whence it originates, and, perhaps most importantly, how it can be preserved for future generations.  At the heart of the Declaration of Independence is a legal and logical argument, which can be summarized like this: The King of England has persisted in continual wrongdoing

Is it Constitutional or American to Eliminate Gender Distinctions? by Jake MacAulay Last week, theblaze.com reported about a student who was kicked out of class in a Scotland high school for asserting the indisputable biological fact that there are only two genders: male and female.   The incident “was triggered when the teacher found only ‘male’ and ‘female’ gender options on a website, which he denounced as ‘old fashioned.’ When a student voiced his disagreement, the teach

Founding Fathers Would Abhor #MenForChoice Fathers Day Perversion by Jake MacAulay It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.       —   Thomas Jefferson The month of June has traditionally been known for the celebration of Father’s Day. Tragically, however, there has been an attack on the family unit by celebrating a distorted view of family through the LGB

A Thirteen-year-old is Threatened While Standing For Life in the Womb by Jake MacAulay Addison Woosley, 13, spoke out during a  Raleigh, North Carolina, city council meeting Tuesday. Woosley called for an end to abortion and to make Raleigh a “ sanctuary city for the unborn “. “Abortion should be illegal because it is murder. The definition of murder is the killing of one human being by another,” Addison said. “There’s no way around it. Abortion is murder. So, why is it if an

Can You Read, Do You Read? by Jake MacAulay Part of my work here at the Institute on the Constitution involves making presentations across the country about matters of law and government and the Constitution. Sometimes, I’ll ask the members of the audience to raise their hand if they have ever read a Supreme Court opinion.  Almost always there are no hands raised. Do you find it curious that almost no one reads that which almost everyone considers to be the “law of the land”

Did We Forget about Memorial Day Already? by Jake MacAulay What if I asked you, “Do you feel patriotic paying taxes to fund the central government’s nationalization of the banks, the insurance industry, the automobile industry, the health care industry, and now local police forces or the use of the American military for unconstitutional and immoral, wasteful wars for empire?” I am assuming that if you are a patriot–a genuine American of good will– you would answer, “ No .” Wh

An Open Letter to Rep. Steve Cohen: Your Denial of God in the Oath Disqualifies You From Office by Jake MacAulay Sacred Writ guarantees the nation whose God is the Lord will be “blessed”. Thomas Jefferson testified: “Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen  tells us : “I think God belongs in religious institutions: in temple, in church, in cathedral, in mosque — but

The Make-Believe World of a Transgender Powerlifter by Jake MacAulay Theblaze.com reported this week “Powerlifter Mary Gregory — a biological male who competes as a female — made headlines last month after breaking multiple women’s powerlifting records, which sparked widespread outrage.” But after a review, the Raw Powerlifting Federation has stripped the weightlifter of the titles because they determined Gregory was not eligible to compete as a woman. Some things are real.

Is the Electoral College Worth Keeping? by Jake MacAulay “It unites in an eminent degree all the advantages,” Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist No. 68, “the union of which was to be wished for.” As discussions begin again on the next presidential election, the Electoral College debate has been rekindled. I find it necessary to get ahead of the curve and discuss the facts about the Electoral College and why our Founders created it.  In their infinite wisdom, the Unite

The Movie Unplanned Gives Insight to Dehumanizing Acts Like Sri Lanka by Jake MacAulay What do chattel slavery, the Nazi holocaust, global genocide, and the bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday have in common? By dehumanizing the victims, these horrific acts become tolerable and unobjectionable. The plantation owner thought the African was not fully human; the Nazi thought the Jew was not human; one political faction thought the same of their rival faction; and terrorists b

Are Socialists Really Thieves? by Jake MacAulay In light of so many eager Socialists serving in or running for office, I feel the need to talk about Socialism.  The essence of Socialism is theft.  Contrary to Socialism, in America we have an absolute God-given right to property given to us by our Creator. We can find this right recorded in the sacred text: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and ha

Is Christianity the Religion of American? by Jake MacAulay Last week,  we discussed the first Muslim representative elected to the Pennsylvania legislature who demanded an apology from another member because they began their session with a prayer to Jesus Christ, calling it ‘highly offensive.’” I received a message from a reader, who I believe to be sincere, stating, “The Founders NEVER intended to favor Christianity over any other religion… None of the founders were explicit
