With the reelection in 2024 of President Trump and new policies, many believed that wokeism was on the way out.

The Allies won World War II in large part because the United States was rolling bombers off assembly lines every 48 minutes and doing the 1944 equivalent of 3-D printing Sherman tanks; we may not have had the best, but we had the most. What's more, we could feed and clothe our fighting men, too.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:33:36 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/08/31/russia-now-hitting-ukrainians-where-it-hurts-in-the-belly-n2206311Shocking Undercover Audio Shreds NE Senate Candidate Dan Osborn's 'Moderate' Narrative<![CDATA[We’ve seen this movie before.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:16:39 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Hoge]]>https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/08/31/shocking-undercover-audio-shreds-ne-senate-candidate-dan-osborns-moderate-narrative-to-pieces-n2206310Why Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Teamed Up With the WH Fraud Task Force on CDL Schools<![CDATA[Monday morning's press conference in Detroit, Michigan by Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and Vice Chairman of the White House Fraud Task Force Andrew Ferguson to announce their surge against commercial driver's license (CDL) schools which fraudulently issued CDLs to illegal aliens has not only exposed how much this issue urgently needed addressing, but how Democrats have worked to undermine American safety in every form possible and leave a multitude victims in their wake.]]>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:05:48 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/08/31/why-sectrans-sean-duffy-partnered-with-the-fraud-task-force-to-root-it-out-in-cdl-schools-n2206298She Wasn’t at the Mosque, but Prosecutors Say She Helped the Killers Record Their Massacre<![CDATA[Nearly four months after two teenagers opened fire on a San Diego mosque, killing three men before taking their own lives, investigators have revealed a stunning new development: a woman nearly 2,500 miles away in North Carolina has now been indicted in connection with the massacre.]]>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:54:03 -0400<![CDATA[Teri Christoph]]>https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/08/31/nc-woman-indicted-to-mass-shooting-at-sd-islamic-center-n2206307High Gas Prices Now Might Hurt Republicans in November<![CDATA[Most people are keenly aware of gasoline prices.
