Gagic told me he acted as a whistleblower, exposing systemic corruption, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias and political retaliation.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Rachel Alexander]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2026/05/11/state-bar-of-arizona-disbarring-conservative-attorney-after-exercising-his-free-speech-n2675840The Revolution in Direct Democracy in America<![CDATA[The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens the right to petition their government. Petitioning government is part of our DNA. We benefited from British institutions of direct democracy that can be traced back to the Magna Carta. In the New England colonies direct democracy was the foundation for government, citizens could petition their government in town meetings and annual election ballots.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Barry Poulson]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/barry-poulson/2026/05/11/the-revolution-in-direct-democracy-in-america-n2675838Can't Barack Obama Learn a New Hobby? <![CDATA[The former president seems awfully busy jet-setting around the world.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alan Joseph Bauer]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2026/05/11/cant-barack-obama-learn-a-new-hobby-n2675823Last Week Was a Keg of Lib Tears and It's Time to Party Down<![CDATA[I have never understood people who say that you shouldn’t celebrate utterly defeating your opponents; that sounds like loser talk to me. And defeating our opponents is what we’ve done in the last week. &nbsp;We've used them, abused them, and generally treated them like a straight white cisgender Christian male from Dallas in the Harvard Womyn's Studies Department. This calls for a celebration. You should be partying. You should be clinking glasses. And you should be throwing their defeats back into their ugly, scrunched faces. Raise a toast of liberal tears and beer-bong it like an SEC linebacker at a kegger.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Kurt Schlichter]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/05/11/last-week-was-a-keg-of-lib-tears-and-its-time-to-party-down-n2675814The Future That Almost Never Was <![CDATA[SpaceX filed its confidential S-1 with the SEC on April 1, 2026, targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation and a $75 billion raise in what analysts project will be the largest IPO in market history. A June Nasdaq listing could position Elon Musk to helm two separate trillion-dollar public companies simultaneously. None of this momentum was preordained, and the policy decisions that made it possible deserve highlighting because the decisions that nearly prevented it are equally clear.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jay Rogers]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jay-rogers/2026/05/11/the-future-that-almost-never-was-n2675803The Ties That Bond Marxists and Islamists<![CDATA[In 1782, John Fawcett wrote a Christian hymn titled "Blest be the tie that binds." I remember singing this as a little fella at Fort Street United Methodist Church in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood in Atlanta. The first stanza is memorable: "Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above." As this hymn came to my mind recently during a morning run, I thought about the tie that binds the Marxists to the Islamists, and is in full display here in America.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Allen West]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/allenwest/2026/05/11/the-ties-that-bond-marxists-and-islamists-n2675778Trump’s Moves for the US Senate Races<![CDATA[The US Senate races in Election 2026 are essential for maintaining MAGA GOP dominance in Washington.

The modern left has morphed into a never-ending drum circle of hatred and contempt for their fellow human beings who do not wish to be assimilated into the progressive collective of blind obedience.

Attacks have increased dramatically—it feels as though massacres have become a daily occurrence. I recently spoke at a burial for eight people who were killed in a single night. The very next day, another 30 people were murdered in a separate attack. A few days later, 20 more lost their lives. It has become almost impossible to keep up with the scale and frequency of the violence.]]>Sun, 10 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Brad Brandon]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/brad-brandon/2026/05/10/silence-in-the-face-of-slaughter-the-crisis-in-northern-nigeria-n2675787A Quick Bible Study Vol. 319: What the Bible Says About Holding Grudges<![CDATA[Author's Note: All previous volumes of this series are here. The first 56 volumes are compiled into the book &nbsp;"Bible Study For Those Who Don't Read The Bible." "Part Two," featuring volumes 57-113,&nbsp;was published in December 2022.]]>Sun, 10 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Myra Kahn Adams]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/myrakahnadams/2026/05/10/a-quick-bible-study-vol-319-what-the-bible-says-about-holding-grudges-n2675786Alien Life Would Not Refute Religion—but It Would Challenge Materialistic Evolution<![CDATA[Anticipation of a forthcoming U.S. government “disclosure” on alien life is everywhere in the media.]]>Sun, 10 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Casey Luskin]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/casey-luskin/2026/05/10/alien-life-would-not-refute-religionbut-it-would-challenge-materialistic-evolution-n2675780Donald Trump's Razzle-Dazzle<![CDATA[Ordered chaos is the way the president wins.]]>Sun, 10 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alan Joseph Bauer]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2026/05/10/donald-trumps-razzle-dazzle-n2675729The Paper Tiger of the 14th Amendment: Reclaiming the American Birthright<![CDATA[The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on April 1 in Barbara v.
