No Census Reform, No Election Integrity

When the House passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act on April 10 it took a good first step toward the restoration of election integrity, assuming the Senate also passes it and President Trump signs it into law before the 2026 midterms. Nonetheless, until Congress imposes major reforms on the U.S. Census Bureau and its methods of gathering data for the constitutionally mandated census, it can’t be relied upon to produce accurate results.

Anyone foolish enough to take seriously the rhetoric of the Democrats concerning the reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump on “Liberation Day” will experience two sensations — dread and confusion.

Trump 2.0 Exposes Deep Democrat Rot

3 weeks ago | spectator.org | David Catron

The conventional wisdom in Washington holds that President Donald Trump’s November victory, combined with the whirlwind of activity that has characterized his first several weeks in office, has created disarray among Democrats. Like most things “everyone knows,” however, this view is too simplistic. It’s more accurate to say that the Democratic Party was already a rotting, morally adrift derelict and that Trump’s election was the rock upon which it finally foundered.

Original ArticlePosted By: gaboy, 3/31/2025 1:53:47 AMWhile it is certainly good news that Congress is finally waking up to the dangers posed by the "Censorship Industrial Complex," last week's hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution didn't sufficiently address one of its most insidious aspects.

Original ArticlePosted By: gaboy, 3/24/2025 2:02:43 AMIn February, Vice President J.D. Vance surprised many at the Munich Security Conference by raising concerns about the erosion of democratic values among our allies.
