I’ve been hearing Republicans bemoan the lack of backbone in the party for years. Cry out for “another Ronald Reagan.” Leadership with some spine. A tireless defender of the Constitution. A courageous conservative willing to put Principle above party. Along comes Ted Cruz. And the GOP throws him under the bus.

Mixing narrative and interviews, D’Souza exposes the Democratic Party as the Party of Exploitation and Subjugation. Urban plantations, barrios, and ghettoes. Forced sterilizations. Slavery and enslavement. Massive corruption on a scale not seen since Judas and 30 pieces of silver.

For those who paid attention, Ted Cruz did exactly what he’s been doing for years: Stare down the political establishment. Stick to his guns. Refuse to kneel before the altar of political expediency. Instead, he encouraged constitutional conservatives to turn out in November and vote their conscience. (Translation for Branch Trumpidians: turn out in November and vote your conscience.)

A Washington man has come up with a simple idea to show support for law enforcement.

The Rule of Law and those who uphold it took twin beatings this week. The Rule of Law cracked and crumbled along Clintonian fault lines on Tuesday as the Marquis de Hillary received yet another pass on yet another scandal. Two days later, Micah Johnson shot 12 Dallas police officers, killing five.

Is James Comey “crazy” for not recommending criminal charges for Hillary Clinton over her private emails – or “crazy like a fox”? Was the FBI Director’s Tuesday announcement a gross miscarriage of justice – or something else?

If the prospect of a president with a well-worn track record of poor judgment and mishandling classified data doesn’t keep you awake at night, what will? Indeed, the only thing more incredulous than Comey’s announcement is the realization that some people are actually going to vote for a career corruptocrat.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down two parts of a pro-life Texas law, HB 2, that protects women’s health and closed abortion clinics that can’t ensure adequate protection for women. Lefty reactions to the 5-to-3 ruling highlight the galactic hypocrisy of so-called “safe and legal” abortion advocates.

The Tolerance Police are at it again. Their latest target: Religious institutions of higher learning in California. Their weapon of choice is an onerous, over-reaching bill called SB 1146.

Before you break out the barbecue or grab your baseball glove this Memorial Day, take a moment to consider what’s behind this “most solemn of American holidays” – and the cost.
