Montgomery: Don’t Buy Their Lies, Not All of America’s Youth Are Pro-Choice
The world would have you believe that every last high school- and college-aged person in America is a radical leftist who favors a woman’s ability to choose to terminate a tiny human. This is simply untrue. Those who believe that every life has intrinsic value...
Sullivan: A Gun to My Head
For almost a decade, a rogue, unethical state agency has been trying to silence me because I work to expose the sewer culture of Austin. I’ve challenged the agency’s legitimacy and exposed their efforts to suppress Texans’ First Amendment rights. And so, in a...

On Friday the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on antitrust introduced five bills designed to address the findings of their 16-month investigation into Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. The legislation, introduced with various Republican cosponsors,...
A Lasting Impact

Overturning Tables
The Jesus of the modern age is a diminutive figure, soft and unassuming. This Jesus doesn’t challenge us; just loves to love. This Jesus never raises his voice, but purrs obediently like a neutered kitty. This Jesus also bears no resemblance to the disruptive Jesus of...
