Conservatives get a bad rap that they are part of a party of “no.” That the GOP is against everything and never clear on what they are for.
Well, Nikki Haley is one conservative that the left will have a hard time pinning the accusation of not having a broad vision on.
Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has released a new comprehensive policy book, issued by her organization Stand for America, serving up conservative solutions to many of our nation’s challenges — both domestic and foreign.
It’s called “American Strength: Conservative Solutions Worth Fighting For” and its worthy to be taken very seriously at this inflection point of our deeply divided and disillusioned country.
Latest Gallup polling shows just 24% of Americans are satisfied with how things are going in their country.
Recent polling from Pew Research shows only 24% of Americans say they trust their government to do the right thing “always” or “most of the time.”
The only thing Americans seem to agree on these days is dissatisfaction with their government and the state of affairs in their country.
Per Pew, data reporting trust in government started in 1958, when the National Election Study first began asking the question.
Those years from the late 1950s to the early 1970s were the last time – except for a brief moment in October 2001 after the terrorist attacks on 9/11 – that 50% or more of Americans surveyed said they trust their government to do the right thing.
What is interesting on this question of trust in government is the vast expansion of government power and intrusion into the lives of citizens since the 60s and 70s.
It appears that the more government goes where it doesn’t belong, the less confidence and trust that citizens feel towards their government.
Only when we were attacked on 9/11, when government was the focus of what is clearly its job — national defense — did trust get back above the 50% numbers held before the 60s.
This policy book of conservative solutions couldn’t be more timely.
Information regarding the economic and cultural fronts in our nation radiates troubling news.
Inflation is surging for the first time in over 30 years.
National debt is growing to dangerous levels, equal to the size of our whole national economy with projections from the Congressional Budget Office that it will get much worse.
Our entitlement programs — Social Security and Medicare — have severe financing projections that will make it impossible to continue without major reforms.
Culturally, family and marriage are collapsing. Birth rates are at historic lows, and surveys show Americans of ages where families are formed, indicate low interest in having children.
Our country is badly in need of a 21st-century conservative makeover.
We need bold and vibrant conservative leadership to get us back on track with policies driven by traditional American values of limited government.
Nikki Haley and Stand for America serve up a emboldened vision and a vivacious plan with this new policy book American Strength: Conservative Solutions Worth Fighting For. I’m in it, I’m excited about it because it’s a winning solution for our great country, our culture and in particular for people that are trying to get to that first rung that are living in our poorest and most distressed communities.

Trump has an excellent opportunity with Black voters
Former President Donald Trump’s gains with Black voters have narrowed since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. Prior to his dropping out, polling indicated that Biden was losing support among Black voters, who had been vital to his 2020 victory.

Biden is wrong to support Supreme Court reform
The Supreme Court’s public legitimacy crisis continues to escalate after it issued a series of major recent decisions perceived by many Americans as overtly partisan, most recently the July 1 ruling in Trump v. United States. Calls to reform the Supreme Court long predate these rulings but have gained significant momentum and popularity in their…

Liberals stir fear over Supreme Court immunity decision
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled July 1 in Trump v. United States that presidents are immune from prosecution for any presumably “official” act taken while in office, including criminal acts. Some legal experts and liberal justices were “horrified” by the opinion and warned of grave consequences, while Chief Justice John Roberts, in…

Debate disaster raises questions about Biden’s capacity to lead
Even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has stated that it’s valid for voters to question President Joe Biden’s mental health given his recent debate performance. Lawmakers from the opposing party are calling for a select committee to examine his mental health. Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker argues that,…

Black Americans should vote for Donald Trump
In the 2020 elections, 92% of single-race Black, non-Hispanic voters cast their ballots for President Joe Biden, while only 8% voted for Donald Trump. That one-sided turnout followed a summer of nationwide protests against police violence largely organized by Black Americans in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and then-President Trump’s crackdown on those protests…
