We Need Republicans to Deliver Our New Leadership
- By Star Parker
As November elections approach, the glaring and deeply troubling headline I see is Americans becoming increasingly alienated from their own country.
There has never been a greater need for a new generation of leaders to restore clarity about American principles and plant them in American hearts and minds.
The Wall Street Journal reports that all branches of the U.S. military are coming up short in recruiting goals.

Justice Clarence Thomas and Ginni Thomas -- American Patriots
- By Star Parker
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his political activist wife, Ginni, are a high-profile Washington conservative power couple.
Power couples are a common Washington phenomenon. Each spouse wields political power and influence in a certain arena. Together they concentrate power and influence.
Per Public Citizen, of the 115th Congress, 59% of retiring congressmen remained in Washington, taking jobs as lobbyists or in consulting firms, trade groups or business groups, working to influence government.

Time for a Commitment to America
- By Star Parker
Republicans are gearing up for elections in November by drawing a clear line in the sand between their party and Democrats.
Republicans have rolled out what they call Commitment to America. And this is exactly what it's about.
Our country embodies a worldview, and it is that worldview, and the principles that capture that worldview, that made and makes America a great nation.

Religious Freedom Means Nothing If Religion Means Nothing
- By Star Parker
In August of 1790, President George Washington visited Rhode Island, which a few months earlier had ratified the U.S. Constitution.
Among those who welcomed the new president was the Hebrew Congregation of Rhode Island, founded in 1763. Now known as the Touro Synagogue, it is the oldest standing synagogue in the nation.
The synagogue's representative wrote to the president, expressing gratitude that Jews in Rhode Island, in the newly formed United States of America, lived, in contrast to their co-religionists in other parts of the world, with "invaluable rights as free citizens."

When Will Low-Income Americans Stop Looking to Government?
- By Star Parker
New polling data from Gallup show Americans are not having an easy time through this period of rising prices.
According to Gallup, 56% of Americans say now that rising prices are causing severe or moderate hardship.
Drilling down, we see that the hardship is not shared equally.
Among low-income households, those with income less than $48,000, 74% report they are experiencing hardship. Among middle-income households, with income $48,000 to $89,999, 63% report hardship. And among upper income, $90,000 and above, 40% report experiencing hardship.

Biden About 1619, not 1776
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden travelled to Philadelphia, to Independence Hall, the place where the nation's founders signed the Declaration of Independence, to make his case for "The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation."
Indeed, the president, in his remarks, said we are at an "inflection point" regarding where we stand and the path we'll take for the future.
It is one of those rare moments when I agree with our president.
We are in a tug of war for our future.

Government the Problem, Not Solution, on College Costs
- By Star Parker
http://eljimadorrestaurante.net/No sooner had President Joe Biden announced his plan for student loan debt forgiveness -- $10,000 for non-Pell grant recipients and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients -- the president of the NAACP was complaining that it should be more than twice as much. At least $50,000.
Brookings Institution scholar Andre M. Perry echoed the sentiment.
The plan, according to Perry, "does not go far enough in addressing the root of the problem: a postsecondary education system that has seen tuition rise three-fold in the last 30 years. That same system will put future borrowers in peril."
