A landmark Supreme Court decision handed down on June 27, 2025, in Mahmoud v. Taylor has dramatically affirmed the constitutional right of parents to shield their children from public school instruction that conflicts with their religious beliefs. The ruling is already being called one of the most consequential religious freedom cases in education since Wisconsin v. Yoder.

No Kings is a Bad Strategy
By Newt Gingrich
Analysis: Five million people across America gathered last Saturday for so-called No Kings rallies.
It was an impressive organizational feat. Some wealthy left-wing Americans clearly put up a lot of money to organize, get demonstration permits, reach out to activists, and create a national event.
No Kings was a clear contrast to the Army’s 250th anniversary parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. The parade was an expression of historic patriotism and pride in America’s past. The No Kings demonstrations were bitter rejections of the current government and anger over Democrats losing in the 2024 elections.
Democrats still haven’t seemed to learn that constantly being negative and hostile – especially during a patriotic moment – is a bad strategy. The majority of Americans see it as an affront.

By David Arnett
Analysis: U.S. Border Patrol didn’t release a single illegal immigrant into the interior of the U.S. last month, the New York Post reports — the latest victory in President Donald J. Trump’s relentless commitment to securing the homeland and a remarkable turnaround from the 64,000 illegals released into the country under the Biden Administration (whoever was running the show) just one year ago.
Promises made, promises kept the White House proclaims. Yes, that is what we voted for folks.
Vindication For The Unvaccinated?
By D. Marks
Truth Is Not Readily Confessed
Author David Marks comes via Robert W. Malone MD, MS with a request to share his recent essay (found on his Substack here). As Tulsa continues to grow as a regional medical center this essay touches on deep truths concerning the lingering effects of the COVID crisis and associated propaganda, on relationships.
At a recent family gathering, I sat at the dinner table with a group of loved ones for the first time since the COVID-19 fiasco. Most of the cheerful discussion focused on the spectacular event of the week; my mother’s 100th birthday.
I was the only person at the table who hadn’t had any form of flu for many years, while all of the guests had been ill to one degree or another. Almost everyone had tested positive for COVID at least once over the last few years with accompanying flu symptoms. Although no one in my family was hospitalized or died during the so-called pandemic, they all had been vaccinated repeatedly. As far as I know, my wife and I were the only ones in our families who didn’t get any COVID shot and I haven’t been inoculated for anything in the last seventy years.

By Monica Collison, Oklahoma Rural Association
Analysis: Oklahoma’s vast plains are home to a proud farming tradition that goes back to before the state officially joined the union, and that includes the production of tobacco. Tobacco growers and manufacturers like Xcaliber that are based in the state provide critical jobs and help strengthen our economy.
That’s why Congress needs to immediately end the double duty drawback tax loophole that’s benefiting our overseas competitors in the tobacco industry.
