More Government, Less Religion -- the Progressive Doctrine
- Details
- By Star Parker
One great mystery is the persistent refusal of those on the left to abandon what is clearly not true.
That is, that the means for reducing the burden of poverty is more government spending.
It all really started in the 1960s under President Lyndon B. Johnson. He declared in his State of the Union address in January 1964 an "unconditional war on poverty in America." Despite tens of trillions of spending since then, poverty remains, and so does the conviction of progressives that it can be wiped out with government spending.
Worth recalling is that the avalanche of government spending launched in the 1960s was followed in the 1970s by runaway inflation.
Thank You, Sen. Manchin

The saying, "One man with courage makes a majority" has been attributed by historians to different sources.
But regardless of who said it, there is one man who stands out today worthy of this description.
It's West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.
Manchin has been a one-man show in the Democratic Party, standing often in solitude, holding feet-to-the-fire of his president and his party's leadership, pushing back on the massive and irresponsible spending avalanche in the Build Back Better act.
Nikki Haley's Christmas Present to America
- Details
- By Star Parker
Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has served up a kind of Christmas present to the nation in the form of a new comprehensive policy book, issued by her organization Stand for America, serving up conservative solutions for our nation's many challenges -- domestic and foreign.
Conservatives get a bad rap that they just say "no." That they're against everything but never clear what they are for.
Haley is one conservative that cannot be accused of not having a broad vision and not being forthcoming in sharing it.
It's all here in "American Strength: Conservative Solutions Worth Fighting For."

The Biden administration is hosting, in upcoming days, a "Summit for Democracy," in which 110 nations worldwide have been invited to participate in this global virtual event.
The U.S. State Department notes that the purpose is "setting forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies through collective action."
The Biden administration lists on the White House website as among its priorities "Restoring America's Global Standing."
This summit will accomplish exactly the opposite.
Abortion Is About Our Core National Values
- Details
- By Star Parker
The Supreme Court will hear this week Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
At issue is the law in Mississippi that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
A decision finding the Mississippi law constitutional will fundamentally change the abortion regime in our country, defined by Roe v. Wade since 1973.
Roe said the mother has a right to abort her child as long as that unborn child cannot survive -- is viable -- outside the womb. Generally accepted is 22-24 weeks as the time when viability occurs.
Show Me the Money -- The Trump Tax Cuts Benefit the Middle Class
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Democrats keep attacking President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 as a tax cut for the rich. But the data show that the average family gained roughly $2,000 on their lower tax bill for this year. Every Democrat in Congress voted no, even as they complain of a "middle-class affordability crisis." Maybe that's because to rich and famous limousine liberal Democrats, $2,000 is peanuts. But not for the rest of us.
The goal of the Trump tax cut was simple: Strengthen the economy with lower tax rates, and let working and retired Americans keep more of what they earn. The early evidence confirms this is exactly what has happened. Initial IRS data show that almost half of filers have already taken advantage of the bill's middle-income tax provisions.
Who's Afraid of a Trillionaire?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Early this year, we learned that Elon Musk may become the first trillionaire in world history.
My friends on the left of the political spectrum have been fuming about this story as the ultimate example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting crumbs.
When I appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" not long ago, Bill questioned me about the prospect of Musk becoming a trillionaire. "Isn't that excessive?" he asked.
