SCOTUS on Trump's Tariffs

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Trump's use of tariffs. The court specifically ruled against both the use of the global tariffs and the more specific use of "fentanyl" tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China. From the very beginning, I have consistently supported the President's tariffs on economic and national security grounds. In fact, I was one of the few who, after the Liberation Day tariff announcements last year, pushed back against the fear mongering from both the political left and right that the tariffs would push us into a depression and/or would be highly inflationary. On both accounts, this analysis proved correct. [more...] ... Co-founder of Anthropic on the Potential Risks of AI

The State of the Union 2026

By Patrick Dorinson, Author of The Common Sense Cowboy's Guide to Life

America today is like a car careening down a windy road driven by two political parties who unfortunately don't know how to drive. They sit in the front seat, trying to wrest the steering wheel from each other - Republicans to the right and Democrats to the left - eventually running the car into a ditch. They then turn to us, the American people, having been tossed around in the back seat, and tell us to get out and get the car out of the ditch. And then, to add insult to injury, they tell us that we will have to pay for all the damage they caused! Then after we get the car out of the ditch and have our wallets sufficiently emptied paying for the damage, they get back in the car and do the same thing all over again. [more...]

Putting Technology in Schools Has Made Kids Dumber

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

I recently chatted with a public school teacher who was bemoaning the impact of technology in the classroom. 'Smart' blackboards, laptops for all kids and 'computer stations' have become all too commonplace (along with soaring costs). While we get sob stories about not having enough notebooks or pencils in schools, the reality is school districts are spending seven figures on IT departments with server rooms alongside lunchrooms. Has any of this worked? Just the opposite. [more...]

Virtually All Countries Support Voter Photo ID, So Why the Filibuster?

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

"The bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country," Harry Enten, the chief data analyst for CNN, recently reported. Nor is it controversial in virtually any other country in the world. Yet despite massive support among both Democrats (71%) and Republicans (95%), only one Democratic member of the House and one in the Senate are supporting the SAVE Act. Unless seven more of the 47 Senate Democrats step forward, their filibuster will kill the bill. Democrats argue that requiring free voter photo IDs – even when the ID itself costs nothing – harms eligible voters by creating practical barriers to casting a ballot. Shockingly, Democrats claim that women are disproportionately disenfranchised by voter IDs, but women are also strongly supportive of IDs and have exactly the same level of support as men. [more...]

Obama Admits Housing First Was a Losing Strategy

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

Last weekend, former President Barack Obama acknowledged a blunt political reality: "The average person doesn't want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown ... and we're not going to be able to generate support [for treatment] if we simply say, 'It's not their fault, they should be able to do whatever they want,' because that’s a losing political strategy." Obama's recent comments implicitly concede what voters have already recognized: permissiveness has failed in policy and in results. Today's homelessness crisis is the predictable outcome of a federal experiment that elevated progressive ideology above medical and behavioral realities. It was neither organic, nor inevitable.

Main Street Vanishing

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

This may be the first generation that can live long enough to watch its entire world evaporate while it is still alive. Phones are no longer phones. They listen. They track. They record. They predict. Taxis are no longer taxis. Many do not have drivers. Soon they may not even have steering wheels. Maps do not fold. Photos do not fade. Birthday cards land in your inbox instead of your mailbox. Something essential has slipped away. Not the past itself, but the evidence of the past... the physical anchors - the touchstones that told you, "You lived here. You belonged here." [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

The Biblical Blueprint for Creating Wealth

By Aaron DeHOOG, Financial Expert

In my new book, CALLED TO PROSPERITY: Discover How to Give, Gain and Grow Your Wealth for God's Kingdom, I wrote that we are called to live a life of Abundant Prosperity. God commands us to increase our ability to give, gain, and grow our money so that we can build His Kingdom "on earth as it is in Heaven." But we must give, first. This is the key to unloving money so that God can entrust you with more money. The Bible promises that if God can get money THROUGH you, he will get it TO you (and there will be plenty left FOR you).

California's One-Party Rule Could End with a Steve Hilton Win

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

California is at a breaking point. The once-Golden State has been pummeled with sky-high taxes, faded dreams of home ownership, soaring crime rates, a crumbling infrastructure, and an absentee governor who is consumed with national ambitions. As California's 2026 gubernatorial race draws near, one candidate in particular recently took the lead in the polls: Steve Hilton, a business consultant, restaurateur, and former advisor to British Prime Minister David Cameron. Hilton has garnered national attention for his common-sense approach to revitalizing the Golden State. Resonating with the state’s battered populace, Hilton has been focusing on working folks, as opposed to Sacramento insiders and coastal elites. And he has zeroed in on what voters truly care about: Good jobs, affordable homes, safe neighborhoods, and effective schools. [more...]

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Tariffs – What Now?

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Mentally Ill Children Doing Time Without a Crime

By Dr. Tim Murphy, Psychologist and mental health advocate, Author of The Christ Cure

Jail is no place for a child with mental illness. A new report for Congress was just released showing many children with mental illnesses are sent to prison, not a treatment hospital. In some cases, they haven't even committed a crime. Children eligible for release in 75 facilities across 25 states were held in jails just because they had nowhere to go for treatment. Twenty facilities in 13 states incarnated children with no charges, or charges that would otherwise not lead to incarceration. One facility in North Dakota reported they held 29 children who had no criminal charges. The children were unnecessarily jailed for times between one month and one year. Why? Because states and counties say they have nowhere else to put them. That's a crime in itself. [more...]

Senate Finance Hearing - Pro-USMCA and Decisively Anti-Tariff on Mexico and Canada

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The Senate Finance Committee agrees on two things: First, the U.S. Mexico and Canada Agreement (USMCA) isn't perfect, and a number of issues need fixing. Second, they don't want tariffs. And even though no one on the committee mentioned steel and aluminum tariffs during a Feb. 12 hearing on USMCA, former House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady said as one of the witnesses that exempting Mexico and Canada from the Section 232 tariffs were a "top priority" in his view. No one brought the subject up again after that. The USMCA will undergo a congressional review process beginning July 1. [more...]

Trump's Great American Economic Recovery

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Recent concerns about job growth, affordability, and ICE deportations - as well as Republican setbacks at the polls - led conservative commentator Ross Douthat to observe, "A year into his presidency, Donald Trump has lost the country." But is this really true? And what is the bigger picture here? In fact, after a whirlwind start, the administration has faced some difficulties. More recently, high GDP growth, improving job numbers, and lower inflation could well indicate we are moving into a widespread economic recovery that will turn the election momentum back in the Republicans' favor by the mid-terms. From a bigger picture perspective, Trump's battles against China and domestic socialism are the most important political conflicts since Reagan won the Cold War. He deserves and needs the constructive support of all those who want to see him re-invigorate and expand access to the dream that has long been America. [more...]

More Spending, More Suffering - The Failure of America's Homelessness Policy

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

The fight to reform homelessness isn't about housing - it's about POWER.

In a recent ruling that defies both logic and compassion, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's effort to reform the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care program - the federal government's primary funding mechanism for homelessness assistance. The lawsuit - filed by a coalition of 20 mostly Democratic-led states, local governments, and nonprofit organizations and spearheaded by groups such as Democracy Forward - warns of "funding gaps," winter instability, and the potential displacement of people currently housed. These alarms are sounded even though HUD includes a nearly 12% increase over last year's funding allocation. At the core of the complaint is a revealing claim: that reform would "upend longstanding projects that have been thoughtfully developed to comport with evidence-based, best-practices services delivery." [more...]

Why Aaron DeHOOG's 'Called to Prosperity' is Resonating with Christians Seeking Financial Purpose

At a time when inflation, market volatility, and financial anxiety dominate headlines, financial author and Christian educator Aaron DeHOOG is stepping into the national conversation with a bold message for believers. "Stop fearing prosperity, start embracing it," DeHOOG remarks, referencing his new book, CALLED TO PROSPERITY: Discover How to Give, Gain and Grow Your Wealth for God's Kingdom. Rapidly gaining attention among faith-driven investors, business leaders, and church communities for one reason: it directly challenges what DeHOOG calls "the poverty mindset" that has taken root in much of modern Christianity.

Is Free Speech Really the Highest Value?

By Josh Hammer, Conservative Political Commentator

The free-speech-as-highest-good view misunderstands the purpose of free speech in a free society at an even more fundamental level. Legal systems of free speech do not exist to bestow legitimacy on the idiosyncratic musings of any individual. To borrow progressive jargon, we don't maintain systems of free speech to protect and secure "your truth" or "my truth." Rather, as was historically understood as far back as Plato's Academy in ancient Athens, we maintain systems of free speech and free questioning because we believe it is helpful in pursuing "The Truth." In bilateral or multilateral colloquy, it is the truth of the matter with which we are primarily interested - not in ensuring that any individual feels heard or seen. [more...]

Every Dem President Including Obama Was into UFOs

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Plenty of you probably remember when Jimmy Carter saw a UFO: one of a dozen or so warning signs. The Clintons had a much bigger UFO obsession that the media chose to underreport on. This was more than just harmless nuttery once you follow the Rockefeller connection. Nuttery in political circles is rarely harmless these days and a belief in UFOs often overlaps with radical environmentalism and all sorts of supernatural notions that also line up with hostility to religion and totalitarian politics like those of the Left. Former President Barack Obama said in an interview published Saturday that aliens are "real," but added that he hadn't seen them. [more...]

Robert Spencer Testifies Before Congress on the Dangers of Sharia Law

Robert Spencer, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Testifies Before Congressional Subcommittee on the Dangers of Sharia Law

“Sharia is inherently political, supremacist, expansionist, and violent.”

Robert Spencer, a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the director of JihadWatch.org, testified before a U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee Tuesday on the dangers of political Islam and the threat that it poses to America and the Constitution.

The hearing was titled “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.”

Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX), Chair of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, introduced the hearing by explaining that “Principles of Sharia are at odds with the Constitution and the laws of the United States… Sharia encourages violences, silences dissent, rejects religious freedom, and subjugates women and children.”

In his testimony, JihadWatch.org director Robert Spencer spoke to each of these points, stating “Sharia is inherently political, supremacist, expansionist, and violent…these are facts that Muslim authorities on Sharia openly attest.”

“The Islamic imperative to establish the hegemonies of Sharia as the law of the land, as in today the Islamic Republic of Iran, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, is obviously at variance with the First Amendment principle of non-establishment of a religion,” he added.

Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is author of 32 books, including many bestsellers, such as The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), The Truth About Muhammad, The History of Jihad, The Critical Qur’an, and Muhammad: A Critical Biography. His new books are Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani and Holy Hell: Islam's Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It. Coming in April 2026 is The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses.

Video of the full hearing is available here. Congressman Chip Roy’s introduction begins at the 18:00 mark. Robert Spencer’s testimony begins at 52:38. [more...]
