Rod Thomson “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984 The algorithmic Memory Hole has arrived. In doing some research recently, I found that I could no longer quickly locate items on Google that were at the top of the first page in the past year or […]
Rod Thomson For conservatives, the idea that free speech — that most integral of constitutional protections ensconced in the First Amendment — is now under full-scale assault culturally, corporately and governmentally is not exactly news. We’ve been feeling the hammer for some time now. But 2018 saw the ugly head of creeping authoritarian impulses poke […]
Rod Thomson In one of the most encouraging studies in recent times, a group of leftist scholars out of England has found that the political correctness minefield driven by the left is wildly unpopular with Americans across virtually every category. The British study group came to these results, without aiming for them, when it took […]
Rod Thomson There was a time when Americans of every political stripe would proclaim proudly: I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. That time has disappeared, as the American Democratic left is now in full mob form to shut down free speech […]

by KrisAnne Hall, JD The Southern Poverty Law Center has put me on their “anti-government extremist hate group” list for four years in a row now. I have yet to comprehend how teaching the Constitution, the very document that created government, makes me “anti-government.” Nor do I understand how teaching historical facts and the words and principles […]
By KrisAnne Hall, JD Richard Stengel, former head of the office for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the Obama’s State Department from 2013 to 2016, former editor of Time Magazine, and a regular pundit on MSNBC, said in April of 2018, at a Council on Foreign Relations forum about “fake news,” that he supports […]
By KrisAnne Hall, JD President Trump has been blocking people from his @realDonaldTrump account. A federal judge says Trump is violating the First Amendment. Is the right to freedom of speech being violated by Trump through his actions on Twitter? The answer to this question requires a two-step Constitutional review process. First, Twitter is a […]
Rod Thomson It’s pretty obvious to every conservative in the country by now that the American Left is where virtually all censorship resides.
