In 1979, Jerry Falwell founded the “Moral Majority,” a largely evangelical Christian-based political organization intended as a counterweight to the social liberalization during the 1960s and ‘70s. While the Moral Majority possessed wide-ranging goals for the advancement of Christian religious interests across the public policy spectrum, it focused upon...

On “Liberation Day” this past Wednesday, I sent a text message to a pro-MAGA group of professional business types, suggesting the real “Liberation Day” was the day before when the first signs of GOP politicians being “liberated” from electoral victories arrived.

It is nearly undisputable that Trump brought the right some meaningful policy victories, particularly on the courts and taxes, and broadened the potential...

Trump and the actions currently being taken on his behalf after a clear electoral loss in November, today’s article constitutes an effort to laud soon-to-be Mr. Trump for...
