WOODSTOCK, Va. — A Virginia school board voted Friday to restore the names of Confederate military leaders to a high school and an elementary school, four years after the names had been removed. Shenandoah County’s school board voted 5-1 to rename Mountain View High School as Stonewall Jackson High School, and Honey Run Elementary as Ashby Lee Elementary. Friday’s vote reverses a decision by the school board in 2020, a time when school systems across the South were removing Confederate names from schools in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Two leftist lawyers who reportedly firebombed a police vehicle while they were rioting – along with many thousands of other liberals and progressives across America – over the death of George Floyd have been disbarred. Hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to dozens of major American cities were left behind when Black Lives Matter and other agenda-driven ideologies rioted after Floyd died while in custody of Minneapolis police early in 2020.

The husband and wife team facing espionage charges after they allegedly tried to sell stolen nuclear secrets to a foreign power have been revealed to be anti-Trump leftists. Imagine my shock. Diana Toebbe and Jonathan Toebbe were charged with violations of the Atomic Energy Act by federal prosecutors after they tried to sell nuclear-powered submarine secrets to someone who they thought was a representative of the unnamed foreign country. In fact, the couple had been talking to an undercover FBI agent all along. “The complaint charges a plot to transmit...

The University of Missouri’s (MU) flagship Columbia campus has officially lost a staggering 23 percent of its freshman class this year, an even worse figure than administrators initially predicted in the wake of major racial strife.

When Barack Obama said right before he was elected that the U.S. was days away from fundamental change, he meant changing our Capitalist system's basis for growth from individual achievement to a collective salvation based on redistribution of our wealth. And clearly, his executive power has achieved this control in just about every legislative agenda he has initiated. Glenn Beck's analysis of the driving philosophy behind Obama's governance by far left ideology to pervert our country's founding principles is very revealing. Beck said the Liberation Theology theory of social justice instead of natural law is a "perversion of God (and...
