On the heels of President Obama’s defiant post-midterm election remarks last week, he now has announced a “10 point plan” concerning illegal immigration which will be enacted unilaterally by executive order. With few consequential political allies left in Washington, Obama
Obama took to the podium on Wednesday after the midterm elections and made it clearer than ever that he lives in his own universe. Americans sent the message loud and clear that they reject his policies and the Democrat platform
This week’s midterm victories were a step in the right direction for conservatives and the core principles we hold dear. There is no understating the importance of the seats we picked up in both the Senate and the House, and
Midterm Election Day 2014 is upon us, and the importance of turning out the vote across the country cannot be overstated. Americans are finally waking up from the fantasy Obama and his liberal friends have tried to pass off as
Our recent documentary Rocky Mountain Heist, hosted by Michelle Malkin, is hitting the airwaves on the heels of our Wednesday premiere in the Centennial state. This film aims to expose the Left’s quiet hijacking of the once Red state of Colorado.
This week a three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency injunction requiring the State of Colorado treat Citizens United and our film, Rocky Mountain Heist, as they would treat any other media entity. In short, we
This year’s Nobel Peace Prize winners were announced to the world, and for once they got it right. Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, hailing from Pakistan and India respectively, were the very deserving winners for 2014. Malala, who is the
This week, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus refocused the Republican Party ahead of the midterms. In his speech, Chairman Priebus broadly went over the Conservative principles and ideals that are energizing Republican and many Independent voters. With the 2014
Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation comes as no surprise and brings to an end one of the most polarizing tenures of an Attorney General in the Department of Justice’s history. Although Eric Holder should have been fired long ago, having
The annual report by the Census Bureau on poverty was released this past week, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. It should come as no surprise that the War on Poverty has not
The latest twist to the ever-evolving IRS political targeting scandal, which began over a year ago now, would have been even bigger news this week were it not for the ISIS terrorist threat. A top spokesman for Attorney General Eric
It has been a long, hot summer here in America and abroad. ISIS is on the march and has brutally beheaded two American journalists. The threat is so large that you even have liberal United States Senators like Dianne Feinstein
In the nearly five years since Citizens United v. FEC was decided, more Americans than ever are exercising their First Amendment rights and engaging in political speech. The results are in: political speech and spending are up. While spending is
The barbaric murder of American journalist James Foley by the radical Islamic caliphate Islamic State this week is a prime example of how President Obama just does not understand the world in which we live. Back in January, President Obama
Last Saturday, I was honored to have my organization Citizens United cosponsor a fantastic event with Bob Vander Plaats and the Family Leader in Ames, Iowa on the campus of Iowa State University. The Family Leadership Summit is an annual
Why are the Democrats trying to derail Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi investigation? It seems to me if they chose to seriously participate in the Select Committee probe, Democrats would send a clear signal to the American people that they care about
Unlike President Obama, this week House conservatives began the process of taking action to solve the crisis at our nation’s Southern border. The latest legislation passed Friday gives emergency funds to governors for them to be able to deploy National
Of late, the Obama Administration and hypocrisy have become synonymous. For a president who loves to pretend his policies and ideas are always in favor of middle-class workers, Obama can’t seem to help himself when it comes to attending fundraising
Another week has gone by, and Democrats have yet to do anything except suggest our government spend more money to “solve” our current border crisis. Every day more and more immigrants are entering our country illegally, and every day, our
On Wednesday, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was once again questioned by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Koskinen was brought before the committee this time to explain newly released emails from April 2013 which show Lois Lerner had a

This week, the trailer for the latest installment in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay, was released. As I was watching this trailer, something really struck me: the themes touched on in this film are essentially the endgame of today’s American
This coming Tuesday, June 24th, Mississippians have an opportunity to vote in perhaps the most important election for U.S. Senate in their lifetimes. The results will play a major role in deciding the direction our country will move in going
The decision by President Obama to trade five Taliban Guantanamo Bay prisoners in exchange for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been a complete and utter disaster. President Obama and National Security Advisor Susan Rice have been trying
Today marks the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, a day in which the United States led an allied invasion force to what was undoubtedly the most meaningful victory for freedom and liberation in history. Our troops brought a shining light of
New revelations out this week show that disgraced former IRS official Lois Lerner was a key player in the Justice Department’s foiled scheme: “tax-exempt groups engaging in politics.” The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has discovered, via an
Just over a year ago, I called on Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to step down. Despite having said repeatedly that he had more than adequate resources to fix the host of problems in his Veterans’ Affairs department, nothing seems
With decisive primary victories by U.S. Senate candidate Ben Sasse in Nebraska and U.S. House candidate Alex Mooney in West Virginia, the establishment’s dream of electing more status quo-supporting candidates has been stopped after just one week. Sasse and Mooney,
As someone who has long advocated for the formation of a select committee on Benghazi, this week’s vote that it has become a reality was welcome and exciting news. Since learning about the upcoming committee probe, I have been thinking
There is a very important primary election approaching on May 13th in Nebraska. Voters will be deciding who is going to be their Republican Senate candidate to replace retiring Senator Mike Johanns. Let me say flat-out that there is one
This Saturday in northern Virginia, voters will head to the polls for the Republican Firehouse primary election in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District to succeed retiring Congressman Frank Wolf. In this race, one candidate stands out far above the rest: Barbara
Far too often, we get so caught up in the daily political back and forth that we forget to pause and take some time for reflection. This week, people of faith are celebrating important holidays–religious days where we are called
An unfortunate thing is occurring in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Despite the party’s convention being 54 days away, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) in Washington, D.C. is playing favorites and heavily assisting one of
Today freedom-loving Americans across this great nation are showing support for Hobby Lobby in their stand against the unconstitutional overreach of the Obama Administration. I encourage you to join my organization, Citizens United, and many others as we call on our members nationwide to publicly
Anxiety permeates the air as Americans and the press eagerly watch as a dramatic March unfolds. Unfortunately, much about the upsets occurring on the “world’s court” are getting insufficient attention. Namely, a once-favored United States that is being pummeled by
Amid the droves of attendees that descended upon National Harbor for the 50th anniversary of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week, Citizens United attracted thousands of these individuals to its events. Over the course of the conference, Citizens
Today marks two years since we lost a dear friend of mine, Andrew Breitbart. His presence at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference will be sorely missed, but he will be with so many of us in spirit. No matter
There is an important fight going on in our country today that is being under-reported by the media. Parents and activists are on the front lines every day fighting to save the quality of public education in this country; they
Since 1917, Congress has asserted its constitutional authority to dictate just how America will finance its debt by statutorily limiting how much debt the Treasury Department can issue. In theory, the debt ceiling is there to ensure that public debt
After flirting with the idea of pushing amnesty for illegal immigrants, Speaker John Boehner reportedly put the brakes on this effort late this week. Something finally became clear to him that we knew all along: conservatives don’t want amnesty, and
