March 2025 marks the fifth anniversary of the most disastrous overreach of government power in American history: the COVID-19 pandemic response.

What was initially presented as a two-week effort to "slow the spread" became a years-long nightmare of unconstitutional lockdowns, forced closures, and rampant lies from the mainstream media and Biden administration.

As we reflect on the past five years, it is crucial to acknowledge the harm caused by lockdown policies, the hypocrisy of government officials, and the outright lies that fueled one of the most damaging periods in modern American history.

It would be impossible to capture all the absurdities enforced during this period—from mandatory masking for children as young as two and social distancing to collectivist slogans like “It’s for the greater good that you stay home.”

Around the world, people were bombarded with messaging designed to divide, instill guilt and shame, and justify the cruel and unjust treatment of those who dared to question lockdowns and mandates. Our hope is that as time passes, we will continue to reflect on the fear and propaganda pushed by unelected bureaucrats and global organizations.

May future generations learn from our resilience and find the courage to stand against authoritarian overreach in the years to come.

The Truman Doctrine was a speech delivered by President Truman to Congress, emphasizing America’s duty to assist nations resisting communism, particularly Greece and Turkey at the time. Truman argued that the United States must support free people in their struggles against authoritarian forces that sought to eliminate their liberties. 

This policy set the foundation for America’s Cold War strategy and its opposition to communism worldwide.

Rumors of President Trump’s recent executive order aimed at abolishing the Department of Education (DoE) has sparked an intense debate, with the radical left resorting to its usual tactics of emotional manipulation and misinformation.

While the left loses their grip of control, this move aligns perfectly with the U.S. Constitution, as it embraces the principles of limited government, and restores power back to the states, to the people, and where it belongs.

Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced the launch of his own podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom”, which he claims is an opportunity to “change the conversation” about California's success. While he may intend this to showcase California’s economic strength and progressive policies, many critics view it as little more than a distraction from the growing issues plaguing the state under his leadership.

After more than 21 years in power, Newsom’s actions continue to fuel public frustration, especially as pressing problems remain unsolved.

The Panama Canal has long been a focal point of international interest, given its strategic importance in global trade. Recent developments have brought the canal back into the spotlight, particularly concerning U.S. foreign policy, China's involvement, and historical perspectives on its control.

Understanding the Panama Canal’s history is key to grasping today’s discussions about it. The concept of engineering a canal through Panama dates back to the 16th century, with Spain being the first to envision such a passage during the colonial era. 

Few voices in history have been as fearless, as unwavering, and as influential as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Born on December 11, 1918, in Kislovodsk, Russia, he grew up in a country ruled by fear—a place where truth could mean imprisonment and where speaking out could cost you everything. 

And yet, he refused to stay silent.

For decades, American taxpayers have unknowingly contributed their hard-earned money to a massive slush fund of corruption, money laundering, and reckless government spending—all under the guise of “foreign aid.” 

The recent discovery performed by Elon Musk’s team at DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) surrounding USAID (United States Agency for International Development) have uncovered billions of dollars being funneled into shadowy NGOs, global initiatives, and even the personal bank accounts of politicians, with little to no oversight. 

In recent years, the debate surrounding socialism has intensified, with many young Americans being drawn to its promises of equality and fairness. However, understanding socialism's true implications is crucial in defending freedom. 

The truth is, young people are constantly being bombarded with pro-socialist rhetoric—whether it’s in conversation with their peers, seeing content on social media, or hearing it in the classroom. 

It’s up to us to intentionally reveal the destructive realities of socialism and demonstrate how economic independence truly shapes their future.

Forty years ago, in 1985, President Reagan issued Proclamation 5299, designating that year as the International Youth Year. This declaration was more than symbolic. It was a call to action, recognizing young people’s energy, creativity, and their critical role in shaping the nation’s future. Reagan saw youth not as passive recipients of government aid but as active participants in our country’s legacy.

In a heated and revealing confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took center stage, offering a compelling critique of America’s public health system, government spending, and corporate influence. 

His testimony underscored urgent national concerns—from rising chronic illness to the failures of Medicaid—while exposing the political divisions that continue to shape Washington.

When discussing the framework of the United States government, many people mistakenly refer to it as a democracy. However, this is a common misconception. The United States was founded as a representative constitutional republic, a system deliberately designed to avoid the pitfalls of pure democracy and protect individual liberties.

The recent pushback against the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and its Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements has sparked heated debate about government overreach, small business burdens, and constitutional rights. In a conversation on Rush to Reason with John Rush, Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism shed light on the implications of this controversial policy.

The Austrian-American economist Ludwig von Mises had a lot to say about the devastating impact of government-imposed price controls. After he left Switzerland during the 1940’s and arriving to the US, he began writing a series of books that criticized government control and intervention in the economy, particularly price controls and rationing.

When thinking about genocide over the course of history, we tend to forget about the brutal killing of around 2 million that took place in Cambodia, under the leadership of Pol Pot.

Today, the Great Society initiative has been touted by leftists as one of the biggest and most successful social reforms in the history of the United States. Johnson’s speech was meant to ignite a new vision for America.

Was Mao Right? What is a ‘lumpenproletariat’ and why do socialists enable lawlessness?

To understand how the American Public Education system has essentially become weaponized as a tool for radical leftist propaganda, indoctrination and the general ‘dumbing down’ of American children over the last several decades, we must understand the roots of how the system was created and who inspired it…

The Soviets reigned for 74 years after the Bolshevik Revolution causing absolute chaos, terror, destruction and death to millions of innocent people. But what happened prior to the communists seizing power in Russia, transforming it into a Communist state?
