Beneath the quiet summer sky, Where rows of marble proudly lie, The stars and stripes in breezes sway To mark this hallowed, solemn day. They answered freedom’s urgent call And laid down life—the greatest all. Through stormy seas and foreign lands, They held the line with steadfast hands. Not just names upon a stone, But cherished dreams, futures unknown. They paid the ultimate, high cost So liberty would not be lost. We breathe the air of peace they bought. We live the victory they sought. In silent awe, we guard their name, And feed remembrance's sacred flame. #MemorialDay #MemorialDay2026

"As a black conservative leader in America, @BobWoodson taught me that I can be a man who stands firm in my beliefs and makes no apologies for them." - Project 21's @TerrisTodd62 nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/…

Suspending the #GasTax won’t fix everything, but it will put real money back in drivers’ pockets.

"Bob Woodson represented a generation that spoke to black America with dignity, faith, responsibility and hope," says Project 21's KJ McKenzie. "He reminded us of our historical triumphs of overcoming impossible odds through family, perseverance, entrepreneurship and belief in God instead of constantly framing Black Americans as permanent victims. "At a time when so many activists and politicians profit from outrage and oppression narratives, Bob Woodson challenged people to rise higher, build stronger communities and reclaim the values that carried previous generations forward. This is a time for each of us to stand taller and continue the fight." "Mr. Woodson was a living example of dignity, honor and wisdom. He lived out what it means to extend grace to others, and the stories he told of historical figures demonstrated how black Americans overcame their circumstances to live fully in the grace of God, claiming their full rights as Americans in the pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness," adds Project 21's Evie (“Shelly E”) Harris. "As we mourn his passing, we fondly remember Mr. Woodson as an elder statesman, a griot of sorts, passing down timeless lessons to the people & country he loved. Well done, good and faithful servant. May you wear the crown you have aptly earned. Rest in peace." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… @BobWoodson @WoodsonCenter @ShellyEPopstar @bmorepopstars #BobWoodson #blackconservatives

"The #NAACP claims to champion black advancement, yet too often it supports policies that keep black Americans politically dependent rather than genuinely empowered. The organization speaks endlessly about 'representation,' but representation without transformation is meaningless," writes Project 21's Dr. @EricMWallace1. "Young athletes are being encouraged to risk scholarships, endorsements, team relationships, and future careers not for policies that will improve schools, reduce crime, strengthen families, or create economic opportunity, but for abstract political theater designed to energize activists and preserve ideological narratives." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/…

As the #NAACP encourages a boycott of southern college football programs because of their states' #redistricting efforts, Project 21's @TerrisTodd62 debunks the NAACP's claims that their frustrations are truly about black representation.

.@Project21News' Deroy Murdock advises black politicians to shed the 'training wheels' of racial politics. He calls them to run as regular Democrats or Republicans, thus fostering a broader appeal and moving beyond divisive rhetoric that exacerbates racial tension.

"Transgenderism 'is a divisive political issue,' said Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy, who adheres to the late economist Milton Friedman's view that a company's primary and only social responsibility is to grow its profits and maximize shareholder returns. "'The bottom line is it's one of those political issues that companies have no business being in,' Milloy said. 'Just sell sporting goods—that's want people want.'" law.com/corpcounsel/20… @FreeEntProject @JunkScience @lawdotcom @DICKS $DKS #Dicks #SaveWomensSports

As the Trump Administration targets widespread fraud in government benefit programs, a new report from our @AbleAmericans initiative proposes six key reforms that would prevent fraud, waste, and abuse while still protecting Medicaid’s Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) for the millions of vulnerable Americans who depend on the program. nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… #MedicaidFraud #Fraud #Medicaid #HCBS #disability #MedicaidReform #DisabilityRights #GovernmentFraud #FraudPrevention @Les_A_Ford @sarahartweir @RachKBarkley

"Our company is losing money on wind turbines. We will continue to lose money for the foreseeable future. There is, in fact, no future in wind power. The Green New Scam subsidies that were counted on to sustain bird-chopping, if not whale-killing, wind turbines are going away," Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy will tell GE Vernova shareholders tomorrow. "Every wind turbine installed makes our country that much more dependent on Communist China and its monopoly on rare earth mineral processing." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2026/05/… @FreeEntProject @JunkScience @GEVernova $GEV #windpower #windenergy #sustainability #greenenergy

"If #sustainability is a great business — versus mere virtue signaling — let’s see it."

"What needs to be understood about 'sustainable development' is that what is being peddled is itself unsustainable," says the National Center's Bonner Cohen. "Absent government mandates, industry collusion, and interminable lawsuits, the alternatives to plastics could not stand on their own two feet. The marketplace, which reflects consumer preferences, is the best place to separate the sheep from the goats. Just as the PC vanquished the electric typewriter, and internet transmissions quashed the fax machine, superior products prevail over inferior ones. But this is an arena the anti-plastics lobby does not dare to enter. They know they will lose." restoration-news.com/green-machine-… @newsrestoration @KevinMooneyDC #sustainability #plastics #PlasticAlternatives #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalPolicy #EcoInnovation #SustainabilityDebate #GreenTech #ConsumerChoice

"Most of the 988 suicide prevention call centers established under the Biden administration are experiencing worker shortages due to insufficient funding, a new study finds.... "Michael Austin, a former economic adviser to two Republican governors of Kansas, said the study reveals 'a predictable flaw' in the program’s funding mechanism. "'Washington made a national promise while leaving states and local centers to cover the permanent labor costs,' said Mr. Austin, an economist with the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Project 21. 'Seed money can launch a hotline, but it cannot permanently staff a 24/7 crisis system.'" washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/… @KSEconomist @SeanSalai #MentalHealthMonth
