    The physics of politics

    As conservatives seek to counter the hard-left turn taken by the Democratic Party, it will not be enough to simply point out the grim failures of Marxist-inspired philosophies everywhere they have been tried. If the soul-crushing and deadly record of Soviet and Chinese communism, of Castro’s regime in Cuba, and Chavismo in Venezuela, haven’t convinced true believers that ideology belongs in the ash heap of history by now, it probably won’t happen anytime soon.

    The Virginia Supreme Court chose principle over politics
    The rules for governance are meant to be steady. They were designed to outlast any one campaign, any one governor, any one majority. In a 4–3 decision over a hotly contested redistricting amendment, the Supreme Court of Virginia proved that point.

    Why do we keep wasting money on ‘renewable’ technologies that will soon be outdated?
    If Congress won’t act on ARC-ES, President Trump should enact it through an executive order. Americans deserve to know that their tax dollars are not wasted on solar-capture technologies that are practically obsolete before the sun comes up.

    U.S. must press U.K. to keep military base out of China hands
    America can defend our interests on Diego Garcia today because the Chagos Islands are British territory. The leftists at the United Nations, however, want to change that. They unleashed a pressure campaign to shame the U.K. for maintaining any territory outside of Europe.

    The last flight of Jesse Brown: The measure of an American hero
    Jesse Brown attended Ohio State University before entering the Navy’s flight training program. The environment he entered remained overwhelmingly white, and not everyone there welcomed him. But naval aviation had a way of stripping away illusion. A pilot either knew how to fly or he did not. Brown did. In 1948, Jesse Brown earned his Wings of Gold, becoming the first African American naval aviator in the history of the United States Navy.

    Dressed to kill: Women of the Left and the cult of violence worship
    Karl Marx wrote that history arrives the first time as tragedy and the second as farce. Berlin in 1932 was the tragedy. Three women in heels doing a hip-thrust for the cameras on a courthouse step, badges on their chests, cheering a man who shot a father of two in the back, is the farce.

    A sermon on The Holy Trinity, John 3:16-18
    God gave us Jesus because our eternal life mattered more than the life of His only Son. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16.)

    Memorial Day proclamation
    All Americans inherit the glorious gift of liberty that has been purchased with the spilled blood of brave warriors and the tears and heartache of those they left behind. It is fitting and necessary for our Nation to pause for an annual reminder of the enduring and perilously high cost of freedom.

    Memorial Day: 'Today belongs to the fallen'
    “The fallen ask for no tribute in return. They do not ask for our tears, though we shed them. They do not ask for monuments, though we build them. They ask only one thing, that we live lives worthy of the freedom they left behind.”
