AMLO Profundiza la Corrupción en México con Nuevas Reformas Judiciales

Aquellos de nosotros que hemos presenciado el descenso de México bajo el régimen de Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) hace mucho que nos hemos resignado a esperar lo peor. Sin embargo, la desenfrenada imprudencia gubernamental exhibida en este mes de septiembre, en la superposición de treinta días entre la presidencia saliente de AMLO y la...

AMLO Plunges Mexico Further into Corruption with New Judicial Reforms

Those of us who have observed the descent of Mexico under the regime of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) have long been accustomed to expecting the worst. But the governmental recklessness on display in this month of September, in the 30-day overlap between the outgoing AMLO presidency and the incoming MORENA legislative supermajority elected...

Taxes & Spending

Welcome to the Party, Pal

The Dallas Morning News isn’t a fan of TPPF’s past property tax elimination plan (no surprise), but in a recent article, the organization’s editorial board seems to take a strong stand in support of additional tax rate compression and local spending discipline (nice surprise!). In the piece, the Board writes: “Ending property taxes would skyrocket...

A Free And Fair Election Would Have Zero ‘Glitches’

Large counties have “glitches” on Election Day. Why do counties like Harris County, Texas, and Maricopa County, Arizona, continue to experience electoral irregularities? Are large counties just overwhelmed by Election Day? As the nation inches closer to that day, preventing these “glitches” becomes more crucial. Even a relatively small error, such as incorrectly tabulating 1...

We Know the Price of Liberty, and We’re Willing to Pay It

I was playing hooky from second grade, home “sick” when it happened. The phone rang and my aunt, who was crying, demanded I put my grandma on the phone. She was bringing me a plate of pancakes when she turned the channel and dropped the plate, her eyes swelling as the glass smashed on the...

The Left Is Attempting To Take Over Local Election Offices

Democrats have been on a swing-state crusade to rid election boards of anyone who is more concerned with the fairness and accuracy of our elections than with making sure the Democrat comes out on top. The left’s strategy is predictable yet effective. Utilizing a sophisticated information campaign that includes law articles, op-eds, boots-on-the-ground activism, and large...

A Touch of Philosophy: The Marxist Horseshoe

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or so the saying goes. It is precisely this line of thinking that has seen people like Darryl Cooper, who Tucker Carlson recently interviewed on his show, align themselves with the Nazi regime—because the Nazis were enemies of the Soviets, and the Soviets are communists, and the...

‘Reagan’ Biopic Reminds Us Of The Moral Clarity It Took To Defeat The Soviet Union

The genius of ‘Reagan,’ the film and the man, is that both grasp the nature of evil and the courage and clarity required to confront it. Many Americans aren’t old enough to have adult memories of President Ronald Reagan. Fewer still have a personal understanding of the nature and origins of the Cold War —...

Let’s Review the New School Curriculum

The review period for Texas’ new educational curriculum has just ended and the State Board of Education is set to hold a hearing next week to discuss the feedback it received. Unsurprisingly, the comments were more negative than positive because people who are mad about something are usually more motivated to let the world know...

Why Mexico is Not a Reliable Partner

Recently, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, one of the world’s most powerful drug lords and leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, was arrested by U.S. federal agents near El Paso. The Sinaloa cartel is considered one of the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organization in the Western Hemisphere, generating billions of dollars annually by smuggling drugs...

Democrats’ Big-City Election Shenanigans Are Coming To A Town Near You

Expanding funds from the Center for Tech and Civic Life and other leftist groups to rural areas only expands election insecurity. A few days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told Bloomberg’s Emily Chang he had no plans to get involved in this year’s general election as he had in...

Are We a Democracy or a Republic? Answer: Yes

“These Trump supporters say America isn’t a democracy. And they’re okay with it.” So reads the breathless headline from a story last week by CNN. Apparently, CNN thinks that this view is anathema to the American way of life. But a closer look reveals the truth about what America was founded to be. It also...
