Today we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Of all the great men of the revolutionary era to whom we owe our freedom, Washington’s greatness was the rarest and the most needed. At this remove in time, it is also the hardest to comprehend.Take, for example, Washington’s contribution to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Washington’s mere presence lent the undertaking and its handiwork the legitimacy that resulted in success. The convention’s first order of business was the election of a presiding officer. Washington was the delegates’ unanimous choice.Presiding over the convention during that fateful summer, Washington said...

WageLife Hours (days/months/years/lifetimes) We need to incorporate a new unit of measure into the government and social lexicon. American Worker WageLife Hours (days, weeks, years, and lifetimes) The people need to be shown the efficiency rate for every dollar collected as a tax. How much of that makes it into the hands of the actual designated beneficiary in a specific government tax or program after government overhead and expenses? With this information, relate the nonsensical spending on programs into how many WageLife hours/days/weeks/years/lifetimes it would take for that money to be raised off the backs of the average American taxpayer....

The pain in my father's eyes is a sort of memory seared so thoroughly that I will never forget it. There he was, aged 41, in the back of a police cruiser as I stand outside looking back at him, myself frozen in time. His sharp, deep blue eyes were not onlooking some boyish mishap of mine or expressing a sense of fatherly pride. He sat there, handcuffed, utterly defeated by life. Only moments earlier, on a cold, damp January 2007 day along the hills of East Tennessee, my father and I hastily packed whatever personal belongings we could salvage...

Hegseth: "I don't feel the need to respond to CNN"

Democrats and liberal commentators are desperately trying to explain away one of the biggest shocks of the 2024 election: Donald Trump’s 46% share of the Hispanic vote, a modern-day Republican record and remarkable improvement over the 32% he received four years ago. But their explanations demonstrate striking elitism and lack of self-awareness and accountability. For example, Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), likely the next Congressional Progressive Caucus chair, chalked up Latino voter erosion to right-wing “misinformation.” Joe Scarborough, co-host of Morning Joe, blamed “misogyny” and racism from Latino men. Several pundits, such as CNN’s Jim Acosta, claimed Hispanics voted against their...

CV NEWS FEED // In the wake of the 2024 election, the president of Students for Life is calling on pro-life advocates to remain engaged, emphasizing that despite recent victories, the movement still faces significant challenges ahead. In a November 6 letter, Kristan Hawkins celebrated one of the biggest wins for the pro-life movement, which came from Florida. The state’s extreme abortion amendment was defeated, an outcome anticipated to save tens of thousands of lives this year. This victory was hard-won, Hawkins reported, with support from Governor Ron DeSantis and key contributions from pro-life groups. Other pro-life measures succeeded too,...

My wife and I went to bed before 10 p.m. last night and slept wonderfully, our faith in God to save this nation not diminished by the evil cloud overshadowing us. Excuse us, Kamala, WE'RE SPEAKING. WE ARE SPEAKING! Trump's election overnight was a fulfillment of the passage,: Psalms 30:4-5:4 Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.We have had all of you,...
