Disaffecting Legal Voters is Voter Suppression

Leftist Tokenism Destroys Genuine Knowledge Of America’s Amazing Black History, by Marie Fischer
Instead of honoring those who truly made black history into American history, leftist media, corporations, and the left have appropriated this tradition into a vehicle for virtue signaling.

It’s the 51st official Black History Month, but – as Project 21 member Christopher Arps notes – it has not always been an effective observance. But that’s okay if one has the right mindset and guidance. In a commentary for The Federalist, Christopher recalls that, having grown up in the ...
Congress Considers Canceling Conservative Channels
On Capitol Hill this week, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to convene a hearing to assess the “frightening reality” that the alleged “spread of disinformation and extremism by traditional news media presents a tangible and destabilizing threat.” It’s a pretty good bet the hearing will fall along the ...
China Threat Now Encompasses ‘Man’s Best Friend’

Americans Deserve True Black History, Not Lies From The 1619 Project, by Christopher Arps
The pedagogy of ethnic pride comes with responsibility currently being abdicated for radicalism. That’s why it’s a shame when curricula simply revises history for political gain.
