In 1908, Israel Zangwill’s play *The Melting Pot* popularized a metaphor for American society that depicted immigrants blending into a homogenous culture. While this idea suggested that diverse groups would fuse into one unified whole, today’s America presents a very different picture...
On November 21st, 1620, 41 men signed what was then called the Agreement Between the Settlers of New Plymouth. The document now known as the Mayflower Compact was described by future President Calvin Coolidge as “...the first real constitution of modern times.”...
In 2022, at the desperate urging of President Joe Biden, the Democratic controlled House of Representatives narrowly passed HR 1808, a bill that criminalized the sale, manufacture, transfer, and possession of large swathes of semi-automatic weapons...
It’s been a year and a half since I wrote my endorsement for former President Donald John Trump in the 2024 Election. With arguably the most polarized, chaotic, and pivotal election since 1968 less than a month away, updates are necessary...
Growing up in South Dakota, I never celebrated Columbus Day. That’s because, in 1990, then Governor George Mickelson asked the legislature to declare it a “Year of Reconciliation” with Native Americans. As part of this declaration, South Dakota officially replaced Columbus Day with Native American Day...
The overwhelming majority of Americans are now realizing that the 2024 election is noteworthy for several reasons that could genuinely earn it that distinction. For the first time in recorded history, a major nominated candidate’s prospects of serving a jail sentence for the rest of his life hang in the balance...
Our official America First Insight model currently forecasts a 306-232 outcome, with a slight edge for Harris in the popular vote. But to offer a fuller picture, I reached out to a number of high-profile political commentators for their insights. Below are their thoughts on the 2024 race...
Foreign policy is a complex field where success depends on understanding both allies and adversaries. Predicting rival actions often requires deep insight into their leaders, motivations, and centuries-old historical grievances. With this knowledge, events like the Russo-Ukraine War become predictable. In this article, we will examine President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy and see that his approach as a businessman creates a uniquely effective strategy in today’s world, breaking the norms that are often associated with Foreign Policy...
Donald J. Trump was elected just weeks ago, and all eyes are now on his cabinet appointments—our first real glimpse into how his administration will be structured. Trump’s first-term cabinet faced heavy criticism, so these new picks are under particular scrutiny...
Libertarians and economically right-wing individuals have often criticized President Trump’s proposal to implement tariffs. For many, the cornerstone of their economic philosophy is the belief that free trade and the free market are the ultimate economic systems—and I agree that the free market consistently produces the best economic outcomes. However, is free trade truly part of a free market?
The American people have long been under attack by entrenched institutions, but today, a deeper problem has emerged from within the right itself. Two key factions—our oldest supporters, the Old Boomers, and our newest political allies, the Tech Bros—share a troubling belief. Both groups have embraced the notion that America is not a nation or a people but merely an idea...
Birthright citizenship has long been a point of contention in the United States. Rooted in the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, it promises that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” While initially crafted to secure the citizenship of freed slaves after the Civil War, its modern application has taken a far different path, granting automatic citizenship to children of illegal immigrants and temporary visitors. This broad interpretation has sparked debates about whether it aligns with the amendment's original intent and whether it serves America's best interests...
When Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election, it felt like a death knell for the American right. For many of his supporters, it seemed as though the final opportunity to restore America had slipped away. The globalist worldview, championed by both neoliberals and neoconservatives, appeared poised to reestablish itself as the unshakable status quo. It was a moment of despair for millions of Americans who believed in Trump’s vision for the nation....
Yesterday, the Florida State Legislature made a regrettable decision that undermined President Trump’s agenda and disappointed the people of Florida. To understand the full scope of this betrayal, it’s crucial to examine the context. Before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Governor Ron DeSantis called for a special session of the legislature to assist the federal government in deporting illegal immigrants once Trump took office. The aim was to ensure Florida played its part in protecting the state's borders and implementing stricter immigration laws. However, when the moment arrived, the Florida Legislature leadership balked...
