The Urban Center the Left Wants to Ignore

Yesterday, I wrote a piece about how the progressive socialist left “cherry-picks” tragedies. To demonstrate, below you will find a brief analysis of what happened — again — in Chicago this past weekend. We all grieve for any and all loss of innocent life. Sadly, there are those who only…

Borders Work: A Fact-Finding Trip to Israel

The Center’s Vice President for Research and Analysis, Clare M. Lopez, traveled to Israel in late May-early June 2019 on a fact-finding trip with Tom Trento and the United West team, guided in-country by Roni Wexler and Heritage Tours. With a theme of ‘Borders and How Security is Done,’ the…

Serious Questions for “The Squad”

There is such a disturbing assault against our border patrol and ICE agents in America, thanks to the progressive socialist left. Even in Washington, DC, ICE employees face protesters blocking their ability to enter their workplace. The left is calling for the abolishment of ICE and is praising a deranged Antifa member…

The Result of the Left’s Anti-Americanism

We have seen it before, and there is never anyone held accountable. The progressive socialist left and their media accomplices stoke the flames with their delusional, deranged, dangerous rhetoric and they become enraged with anger.

The U.S. Mindset on Israel

The US mindset on Israel – unlike the US attitude toward other countries – is a bottom-top phenomenon: a derivative of the US public worldview, which feeds legislators in the House and Senate and policy-makers in the White House. The US mindset on Israel draws its strength from the religious,…

Mayor Pete’s Problem With Identity Politics

If there is one thing I appreciate the most about the Democrat (socialist) Party, they telegraph their hand. To have a political opposition party that firmly evidences who they are, and what their objectives are, is a blessing. Some years ago, back when I was in Congress, people were demonized, denigrated,…
