Late last week, a strange story broke out of Denali National Park in which contractors repairing a highway claimed that the Superintendent of Denali, Brooke Merrell, had contacted their offices demanding that construction crews discontinue flying the American flag at these sites. The National Parks Service has denied these claims, hiding behind a defense of "these sites aren't even under our jurisdiction" claim (as though a federal official wouldn't go beyond their administrative purview in the name of some woke ideological goal).
It would be one thing if this were an isolated incident--but it's not as though NPS is a stranger to such decisionmaking--and this week, the CPAC Foundation's Center for Regulatory Freedom sent a letter to the Director of the National Parks Service (as well as the Secretary of the Interior and members of Congress) demanding answers, not just about this incident, but more generally asking the question, "just what is going on at the National Parks Service"? The letter (which can be seen below) ties this incident together with what NPS tried to do with William Penn's statue earlier this year, as well as efforts by a regional bureaucrat with the Department of Veterans Affairs to get rid of an iconic "end of World War II" photograph.
As the Biden Administration continues to hit the gas pedal on remaking American society in some kind of woke image, the Center for Regulatory Freedom will continue to be aggressively pushing back on their efforts.

Earlier this month, Germany took an unprecedented step in passing legislation that downgrades the possession and acquisition of child pornography from a felony to a misdemeanor. Celebrated by pro-pedophile groups, this proposal would lower the penalties for these egregious offenses to three-month minimum imprisonment for possession and six months for distribution, which drastically undermines the severity of these horrific crimes. This softening stance is not only a betrayal of the victims but a dangerous precedent that can make perpetrators bolder.
Unsurprisingly, California isn’t far behind in this alarming trend. Just last year, progressives in the state took a similar approach when the California Assembly Public Safety Committee blocked a bill that would have classified sex trafficking of minors as a “serious felony.” By refusing to acknowledge the gravity of this crime, these legislators have failed our children, leaving them vulnerable to perpetrators and sending a clear message to the public: these crimes should not be taken seriously. This decision mirrors the dangerous leniency seen in Germany, signaling a troubling shift that could continue to spread if left unchecked.
CPAC won’t simply standby and let these attacks on our children go unabated. Last year, we joined with partners in public safety to call on California to take modern slavery seriously. Shortly after the public was made aware of this travesty, lawmakers in the state quickly reversed course and classified trafficking as the serious crime that it is. The evidence is clear: raising awareness, advocating for stronger legislation, and holding our leaders accountable are imperative in this fight to hold traffickers accountable. Our laws must reflect the severity of crimes against children, ensuring justice and safety for the most vulnerable among us. Let’s stand united against any attempt to diminish the protection of our children, ensuring these dangerous trends are halted in their tracks. 
In the majority opinion of National Rifle Association v. Vullo Justice Sotomayor writes, “Ultimately, the critical takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or (as alleged here) through private intermediaries.”

Pam Bondi joins Mercedes Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to discuss President Donald Trump’s New York trial.
“It’s unheard of,” said Bondi of the whole case. “We both know if he is convicted, it will not be upheld. This judge has committed reversible error. I’ve seen it from jury selection now all the way through to jury instruction, every single step of this trial, but they don’t care!”
It will only take one juror to create a hung jury, and even if President Trump is convicted, the verdict can and will be appealed. Bondi is confident that the judge in this case has made so many mistakes that the whole case will be overturned when appealed.
Bondi urges Americans to pray for former the president, the jurors, and the country during this time and to get active in this election and to vote.
“If they can do this to Donald Trump, they can do it to any of us, and I think Americans are all seeing that even in the Bronx,” Bondi warned.

The Biden Administration is the most corrupt administration in American history https://t.co/ROPf939yGO https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1795826197659594753/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/xXOtcYvFtMliM7-y.mp4?tag=12
America has long been viewed as the leader of the free world. Our Judeo-Christian founding principles have guided us to exceptional prosperity and freedom.
In recent years, we’ve lost touch with our roots and distanced ourselves from God. We became too comfortable with the status quo and let our guards down. The Left took advantage, and while the country sat passively, they aggressively advanced their agenda.
But Matt Schlapp had a message for the Left at CPAC Hungary 2024:
“What happened in America is millions of wonderful people in the last twenty-five years fell asleep. They fell into a stupor. They didn’t realize how aggressive the Left would be. But the Left was so aggressive that we’ve been woken up. We’ve been woken up from our slumber, from our coma, from out stupor, and you should know that as fear has gripped America, the virtue of hope is now overtaking fear.”
The message also spoke to the worldwide conservative movement that has been missing America as its leader. Places like Hungary have risen to the occasion and inspired America to wake up. Now, America is ready to rejoin the fight for liberty, lead the free world with new energy and vigor, and strengthen our friendships with our allies.
