Senate Seats Aren’t Family Heirlooms

by Carol MarksJuly 14, 2026

JD Vance On The View And The Missing Apocalypse

by Carol MarksJune 17, 2026

JD Vance has been everywhere lately. Podcasts. Interviews. Television appearances. Friendly venues. Hostile venues. If there is a camera nearby, chances are the vice president has wandered past it sometime in the last few weeks.…

Separation of Church and State: Not in the Constitution, Still Running the Debate

by Carol MarksApril 15, 2026April 15, 2026

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Gone — And Voters Didn’t Blink

Tommy Tuberville Warns of Jihad Threats—What It Looks Like in Alabama

Kristi Noem Out at DHS. Markwayne Mullin Is Not an Upgrade

The Weirdest Alliance in American Politics Right Now Over Iran

Montgomery County Tried to Bypass Parents. It Cost Them $1.5 Million.

by Carol MarksMarch 3, 2026

Sexually explicit content in elementary school. Those words should not share space. They should not sit comfortably in the same sentence. And yet in Montgomery County, Maryland, they did. When parents objected, clearly and consistently,…

State of the Union 2026: A Night of Patriotism and Contrast

by Carol MarksFebruary 25, 2026

I stayed up past my bedtime to watch the State of the Union live. I wanted to see the room in real time, not filtered through highlight reels or cable commentary the next morning. Here’s…

I'm Carol Marks, the founder and voice behind An Americanist. I write about politics, culture, and the stories shaping the country we live in. A Navy veteran, Southerner, and incurable patriot, I believe freedom is worth defending, common sense is underrated, and America is still worth celebrating. If a headline earns a raised eyebrow, there's a good chance I'll be writing about it.
