The Whole World Laughs at Democrats' Lame Voter-ID Claims

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Senate Democrats are fighting tooth and nail against the SAVE Act, arguing that requiring Americans to prove their identity with a photo ID when they go to the polls to vote - even when the ID itself is given away for free - prevents eligible voters from casting ballots. They contend proving citizenship would make voting harder for millions who lack ready access to birth certificates or passports, supposedly disenfranchising black and Hispanic Americans. Yet democracies all over the globe, both in the wealthy West and in the developing world, enforce similar rules.

Addiction is a Disease - Policy May Finally Catch Up

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

More than 48 million Americans are battling substance use disorder. Many are deteriorating in plain sight - on sidewalks, in encampments, and in emergency rooms. Others decline behind closed doors. Overdoses are shattering families, especially within the homeless population where the death rate among people living on the streets has surged by 77 percent. Yet in a media landscape quick to amplify controversy but slow to recognize consequential reform, President Trump's executive order to overhaul America's addiction response passed with remarkably little national attention. It shouldn't have. [more...] 

Should Chinese Nationals Be Allowed to Donate to American Colleges, Participate in Research Grants?

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

Should Chinese organizations and individuals be allowed to donate to American colleges, and should their PhD students have access to scientific research grants? It's not an easy question to answer at all. And judging by the March 12 hearing in the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the Chinese may be self-censoring, colleges are being more restrictive, and there is a concern mainly among Democrats who spoke during the hearing, that going after Chinese money and Chinese PhD students is bad for schools, and American innovation. [more...]

Ramadan Apartheid - Restaurants for Muslims Only

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

The recent Ramadan, an Islamic commemoration with no roots in Western countries, provided a warning about growing Islamization as schools and workplaces in America and Europe banned public eating out of 'respect' for the period. This effectively forced non-Muslims to observe an Islamic commemoration putting them in the familiar position of Dhimmis that Christians are forced to occupy in the Muslim world. [more...]

Navigating the Strait of Hormuz

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

We should give President Trump the support needed to find the optimal resolution to this conflict. Trump's actions have so far exhibited a high level of discretion in the pursuit of worthy foreign policy objectives. This was true during his first term when he took us out of the Obama nuclear deal, imposed harsh sanctions on Iran and took out Qaseem Soleimani. During his second term, the success of Operation Midnight Hammer in degrading Iran's nuclear program, the removal of Maduro in Venezuela, and the battlefield successes of Operation Epic Fury are also evidence of the prudent use of force in the pursuit of worthwhile objectives. [more...]

Grandmother Jailed at Gunpoint After AI Misidentification

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

A Tennessee grandmother was arrested at gunpoint, jailed for months, and transported more than 1,200 miles from home, all because a facial recognition system got it wrong. And no one stopped to question it. In the summer of 2025, 50-year-old Angela Lipps of Elizabethton, TN was at home babysitting her grandchildren when U.S. Marshals arrived at her door with guns drawn. They informed her she was wanted for a series of bank fraud crimes in Fargo, North Dakota. There was only one problem: Angela Lipps had never been to North Dakota. Not once. Not ever. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Activists Attacking the Declaration of Independence

By John G. West, Author of Endowed by Our Creator

A Biden-appointed judge just struck down the Trump administration's attempt to change the vaccine schedule, basically deciding that unelected experts 'trump' the authority of elected officials in making public policy. [read about it here] How did we get to such a place? My book, Endowed by Our Creator, explains what happened. Over the past 150 years, activists in the name of science attacked the Declaration of Independence and advocated replacing government by the people's representatives with government by unaccountable experts. That view is now being pushed to the hilt by federal judges, a view diametrically opposed to the kind of government called for by the Declaration of Independence. [more...]

The Terror Threat Americans Aren't Supposed to Discuss

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Many commentators claim that Islam does not pose a threat of violence in the United States. Influencers such as Tucker Carlson often repeat this argument. Others, including then-President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, have argued that white supremacists represent the primary domestic threat. Looking at all mass public shootings from 1998 through 2025 reveals several patterns. Muslims commit these crimes at a disproportionate rate. White males commit them at a rate below their share of the population. And most shooters express no clear political ideology. [more...]

Can David Ellison Save CNN?

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

At a time when trust in the mainstream media has fallen to historic lows, a bold corporate move is taking place, which has the potential to have a profound effect on CNN. It is a business acquisition that affords the rare opportunity many free press devotees have been waiting for: the restructuring of a once-prestigious cable news network. The acquisition just may hold the key to the restoration of journalistic integrity and balance. Paramount Global, under the leadership of CEO David Ellison, is acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, a major entertainment company. Warner Bros. happens to be the owner of CNN, and also some valuable but beleaguered film and TV assets as well. Paramount's bid, which prevailed over competitors that included Netflix, has the possibility of significantly altering the current media and entertainment landscape. [more...]

The Terror Threat Americans Aren't Supposed to Discuss

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Many commentators claim that Islam does not pose a threat of violence in the United States. Influencers such as Tucker Carlson often repeat this argument. Others, including then-President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, have argued that white supremacists represent the primary domestic threat.

Yet March alone saw multiple terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. In Austin, a terrorist wore a sweatshirt reading "Property of Allah" during an attack. In New York City, bomb throwers shouted "Allahu Akbar" while throwing a homemade shrapnel bomb. At Old Dominion University, a shooter also yelled "Allahu Akbar" and had previously been convicted of supporting ISIS. Another attacker, whose brother was a Hezbollah terrorist commander, targeted Temple Israel in Michigan, and yet another attack, involving three men of Iraqi origin, targeted the U.S. embassy in Norway. The Austin, Old Dominion, and New York City bombers and the Michigan synagogue attackers were also all foreign-born individuals who were naturalized U.S. citizens.

Looking at all mass public shootings from 1998 through 2025 reveals several patterns. Muslims commit these crimes at a disproportionate rate. White males commit them at a rate below their share of the population. And most shooters express no clear political ideology. [more...]

HUD Demands Accountability in Homelessness Programs

By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert

In a system stripped of accountability - at the individual, nonprofit, and government levels - the news that a San Francisco homeless services executive has been charged with multiple felonies is not a surprise. It is symptomatic of a structure that stopped demanding results. Since the nation adopted Housing First as a universal mandate in 2013, homelessness has climbed nearly 35%, despite the promise it would end within a decade. For years, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) measured essentially one outcome: placement into permanent housing for six months - housing that required nothing of the individual placed there. No sobriety. No engagement in treatment. No work. No expectation of forward movement. The good news: HUD is now implementing a long-overdue course correction - one that reestablishes accountability at every level of the system: for individuals, for service providers, and for the government agencies through which HUD distributes the majority of its homelessness funding.

Gun Control's Endgame - No Guns for Anyone

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Gun control groups sometimes openly acknowledge their goal of banning all guns. If firearms are bad per se, it should be easy to find places where either all guns or all handguns have been banned and murder/homicide rates have gone down. One would think out of randomness that there should be at least one place where murder rates have gone down or at least stayed the same, but every single time, even for island nations, murder rates have gone up immediately after the ban. A simple logic is at play here: Who is most likely to obey the law? While such statutes may take a few guns from criminals, they primarily disarm the most law-abiding citizens, making it easier for criminals to commit crimes. [more...]

AI Data Centers Help Drive January Goods Deficit of $81.7 Billion

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

The overall goods and services deficit number for January looked pretty good – coming in at $54.4 billion, its lowest monthly point in years. But when services are stripped from the equation, the goods trade looks like it has returned to level footing. January's goods deficit was $81.7 billion, according to last week's trade data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. [more...]

Trump Gets 200,000 Illegal Alien Truck Drivers Off the Road

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Illegal alien truckers who can't even read English are killing Americans.

Is there some reason why Americans can't drive trucks? After a series of horrifying truck accidents by illegal aliens, some of whom didn't even speak English, the Trump administration cracked down and the media is crying. The media is howling that we’re going to lose 200,000 truck drivers. The madness is that we ever had truck drivers who never even spoke English. [more...]

According to reports about the lawsuit, Roblox has become a place where predators can hide behind anonymous avatars and target children who believe they are simply playing games with other kids. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

When You Should Never Pay a "Parking Ticket"

By Kerry Lutz, author of America's Great Parking Scam: You've Been Robbed

How to spot a private "invoice" masquerading as a government citation.

We've all seen it: you return to your car to find a slip of paper under the wiper. It's orange or red, it says "CITATION" or "NOTICE OF NON-COMPLIANCE" in bold letters, and it demands $45, $75, or even $100. Your heart sinks. You feel like you've broken the law. Stop... take a breath... and look closer. If you are in a private lot (like a retail plaza, a beach-side garage, or a "2-hour free" zone managed by a third party), that paper isn't a ticket. It's an invoice. [more...]

The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God

By John G. West, Author of Endowed by Our Creator

In Endowed by Our Creator, political scientist John G. West explores the enduring truths of the Declaration of Independence as America celebrates its 250th birthday. There is a phrase in the Declaration of Independence's very first sentence worth pausing over. Most people probably pass over it without thinking much about it. The phrase is "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." This phrase is important because it provides crucial background for understanding the rest of the Declaration. [more...]

HUD Demands Accountability in Homelessness Programs

By Michele Steeb

In a system stripped of accountability - at the individual, nonprofit, and government levels - the news that a San Francisco homeless services executive has been charged with multiple felonies is not a surprise. It is symptomatic of a structure that stopped demanding results.

Since the nation adopted Housing First as a universal mandate in 2013, homelessness has climbed nearly 35%, despite the promise it would end within a decade. For years, HUD measured essentially one outcome: placement into permanent housing for six months - housing that required nothing of the individual placed there. No sobriety. No engagement in treatment. No work. No expectation of forward movement.

As long as that minimal benchmark was met, nonprofits and local governments were effectively assured a steady stream of continued funding, regardless of whether homelessness declined or conditions improved.

Responsibility cannot thrive where it is not required, especially when its absence cascades from the top down. In San Francisco alone last year, 12 homeless-serving nonprofits were under investigation for fraud, even as chronic homelessness rose 11% between 2022 and 2024.

The good news: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is now implementing a long-overdue course correction - one that reestablishes accountability at every level of the system: for individuals, for service providers, and for the government agencies through which HUD distributes the majority of its homelessness funding. HUD is establishing clear expectations, demanding measurable results, and enforcing consequences when programs fail the very people they were meant to serve.

Why 2025's Record Breaking Trade Deficit Doesn't Hurt the Argument for Tariffs

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

It was no surprise that the 2025 goods deficit broke another record, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) numbers showed recently. The year-ending goods deficit was $1.24 trillion, up from $1.21 trillion in 2024, with the monthly deficit for December looking like historic averages, nearly $100 billion. Nothing seems to stop America's appetite for imports. Record breaking tariffs yet record breaking imports. Tariffs are meant to curb imports and entice extra capacity and investment at home. At first glance, that does not look like the case at all, setting the narrative for the anti-tariff crowd that the America First trade agenda has failed. The trillion dollar-plus deficit can hurt Trump's messaging on tariffs. There is a twist to all of this. If not for tariff front running in the first quarter, we would not have beaten last year’s record. [more...]

The Attack on Iran - An Historic Opportunity

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

President Trump has seen what those blinded to the new developments missed: a) the combination of the Abraham Accords and sanctions initiated during his first term, plus b) the weakened state of Iran and its proxies resulting from Israel's prolonged attacks, the 12-day war, and operation Midnight Hammer; and c) the desire to topple the regime coming from within, all created a historic opportunity to reshape the world by bringing its leading source of terror to its knees. Indeed, assuming the continued success of the current campaign, there is good reason to believe that Operation Epic Fury is likely to leave Iran and its proxies so militarily disabled it will open the door for other Arab nations to formally align themselves with Israel and the United States. [more...]

Media Mischaracterizes NYC Bomber's Gesture

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

When Emir Balat, accused of taking part in throwing IEDs at a rally against the Islamization of New York City near the mayoral residence, was being led out by an FBI agent, he raised his right finger upwards in what media accounts incorrectly described as an "ISIS salute." The New York Post called it "a universal salute for ISIS." But there is no such thing as an ISIS salute. It's the traditional Islamic salute used during prayers to their deity and, much like "Allahu Akbar" is used by Islamists proclaiming that they represent Allah and are combating infidels. ISIS beheaders held up one finger after beheading their non-Muslim victims, but so do most Muslims. [more...]

Every Driver in America is Being Defrauded

In America's Great Parking Scam: You've Been Robbed, recovering attorney and veteran media host Kerry Lutz pulls back the curtain on how cities outsourced parking enforcement to private tech companies - replacing lawful notice with QR codes, coercing drivers into digital contracts, harvesting data, and enforcing penalties through confusion instead of compliance. You'll be so infuriated when you find out what's been going on behind your back! What started as simple coin meters, back in the day, has become a sophisticated revenue system built on confusing signage, forced app contracts, hidden fees, and outsourced enforcement - all operating in a constitutional "gray zone." Kerry is the Nick Shirley of exposing the biggest fraud inflicted on American drivers - and he's doing it on his own time and dime. [more...]

Donald Trump is a Great Man of History

By Josh Hammer, Conservative Political Commentator

Great men of history do not put a finger in the wind before deciding to take a seismic, world-altering action. They don't read the polls; they read the times and allow the rising tides of zeitgeist to elevate them to their better, most dynamic selves. And they have the corresponding vision and determination to shape the times for the better, in return. The American national interest will be improved by seeing the current mission in Iran through. So too will the broader condition of the Mideast - and, for that matter, the whole world. The skeptics may shriek loudly. Let them do so. Because for Trump, a drastically improved national - and regional and global - outlook is more than justification enough. Just as it is for all great men of history. [more...]

Peace Through Strength in Iran Is Not Iraq 2.0

For twenty years, Americans have lived under the ghost of Iraq.

So, when President Trump announced major combat operations against Iran - Operation Epic Fury - the political class reached for the familiar script before the smoke even cleared: regime change, occupation, Iraq 2.0. But history does not repeat itself when strategy changes. And this time, the strategy is the opposite of Iraq. Iraq was a war of transformation. This is a war of prevention. [more...]

The Monster Agenda of "The Bride!"

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

In the risky Hollywood biz, where budgets frequently reach nine figures and a film's fate is determined by the willingness of filmgoers to part with their dollars, Warner Brothers’ "The Bride!" is serving as the perfect cautionary tale on how ill-advised it is to mix woke politics with general entertainment fare. But why did this star-studded vehicle, which features an Academy Award winner and two Oscar nominees, fail so spectacularly? The answer lies in the film's heavy-handed injection of a political agenda, which transforms what could have been a respectable remake of a horror classic into a hack D-level flick. [more...]

Trump's Message to China via its Proxies

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

There is good reason to believe that operation Epic Fury is likely to leave Iran and its proxies so militarily disabled it will open the door for many other Arab nations to join the Abraham Accords. Combined with what is happening in South America, this could represent the dawn of a new world order – one that adamantly rejects long failing experiments in collectivist economic repression, that frees these regions from attempts by the Chinese Communist Party to continue and perpetuate those failures, and one that finally aligns long suffering people with economic policies that, for over two and half centuries, have proven capable of lifting people from the lowest barbarism to the highest level of prosperity. If we can seize this extraordinary opportunity, America will be safer at home and abroad and we will create new opportunities for mutually beneficial trade that will extend the advances of the 20th century into a 21st century of American leadership.

When the AI Turned on Its Creator

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

When I first read about an AI agent publicly attacking a real person, I did not laugh. I did not roll my eyes. I felt something else entirely... fear. In February, a software maintainer rejected code submitted by an AI system. Instead of quietly adjusting, the AI published a blog post accusing him of bias and ego. It went after his reputation. This was not science fiction. It happened. What is new is that this one came from a system operating with autonomy. It was given permission to act on its own. When blocked, it did not retreat. It escalated. That is the shift. We are told these systems help us. They draft e-mails, summarize documents, suggest replies. But the line between "assist" and "act" is getting thinner. [more...] - Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

The Left is a Basket of Miserables

By Mark Tapson, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center

The Left loves misery.

When hockey player Jack Hughes slapped in the winning goal against Canada recently to bring home Olympic gold for the United States for the first time since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice," all of America exulted – all except, of course, the bitter miserables of the Left. If Hughes, with his broken-toothed grin, had wrung his hands for the media afterward like some other American Olympians this year, moaning about how conflicted he felt representing a systemically racist country run by fascists, the relentlessly disgruntled Left would have embraced him a little more – even though he is a white male. Instead, he declared unforgivably in a post-game interview, "This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I'm so proud to be an American today, I love my country." Cue the Progressive outrage and disgust, especially when Hughes and his teammates accepted the hated President Trump's invitation to be feted at the White House. [more...]

Iranians Are Leaving Islam in Droves

By Robert Spencer, Author of Holy Hell: Islam's Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It and Zohran Mamdani: Personification of the Threats to America

...and are thereby laying the groundwork for life after the Islamic Republic.

The Iranian people widely hate the Islamic Republic, with a disgust so deep that it has led many of them to turn against Islam itself: in June 2020, a research organization, the Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in IRAN (GAMAAN), conducted an anonymous online survey on religious views in Iran after forty years of Islamic rule. Nearly 40,000 Iranians participated. The survey organizers reported that while Iran is officially over 99% Muslim, only 40% of the Iranians who participated in this anonymous survey said that they were Muslim. After forty years of strict Islamic rule, Iranians were so far from thinking that it was the solution for society's ills that massive numbers of them didn't identify as Muslim at all. [more...]
