As our friends at American Thinker recently noted here, the legal winds are shifting against websites that advocate conservative values, seeking, among other things, to make the site operators responsible for what commenters write. The commenting function at ACWT has not been especially active, though many of the comments are clearly heartfelt. Our preference would be to allow the comment function to blossom into a forum or community for the exchange of views. But until America more firmly renews its commitment to the rule of law, we will disable the comment function until further notice.

The Rayshard Springboard

It’s tough to choose between embarrassment for, or outrage at, the MSM for their characterization of Rayshard Brooks. Brooks is the 27-year-old Atlanta man who was shot and killed by Atlanta police following a horrible decision by him—while dangerously intoxicated–to aggressively resist being taken into custody after police had been

Atlanta Incident May Help America Get Back on Her Feet UPDATED

The death of Rayshard Brooks is sad and unnecessary. But it was not the product of out-of-control police shooting an innocent, unarmed black man.

An Archbishop Joins Candace Owens

Last week we posted a link to a 17 minute video by Candace Owens, in which she brought the sunlight of truth onto the MSM’s unjustified martyrdom meme for George Floyd. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has now shown himself to be a kindred spirit with Ms. Owens, though neither may

Candace Owens, Pro-American Alarm Clock

Riots and Lies—Will Enough Americans Wake Up in Time?

The Russia collusion investigation was not about Donald Trump colluding with Russians to steal an election. There was no collusion. There was no Russian hack of DNC computers. There was no hint of a crime committed by Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. All of those were lies, frauds, stories made up

Lockdown Protesters are the American Spirit Personified

David Brooks, a house “conservative” at The New York Times, wittingly or unwittingly captured the anti-American leftist worldview when he wrote: Aside from a few protesters and a depraved president, most of us have understood we need to suspend the old individualistic American creed. In the midst of a complex

Breaking the Corona Trance

Here’s a simple but profound truth that bears repeating to friends and neighbors across the country: if Americans knew back on March 1 what Americans know now about the coronavirus, there would not have been any shut down of the economy; there would not have been any effort to quarantine
