The New York Post, one of the largest U.S. newspaper publications, has endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. In a piece written by the publication’s editorial board, the New York Post said the choice in the 2024 election will have “reverberations for decades.” The outlet said Americans will decide on “two very different paths for the future.” The New York Post Editorial Board said “we must choose the following”: A secure border and a sensible immigration system. Safer cities and support for law and order. A thriving, low-tax and low-regulation economy for all — fueled by an energy policy that supports, not penalizes, industry and households. Common-sense policies that restore the power of parents to choose what is best for their children on school choice, gender surgery and trans athletes playing in female sports. An America that’s respected on the world stage — feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies. “Only one candidate can credibly claim to lead us there. Donald Trump,” the New York Post stated. “Today’s cover: The Post endorses @realDonaldTrump for president — the clear choice for a better future,” the outlet posted to X. Today's cover: The Post endorses @realDonaldTrump for president — the clear choice for a better future https://t.co/CiLD355zqH pic.twitter.com/6LA8ed1nAm — New York Post (@nypost) October 25, 2024 A closer look: From the New York Post: If history is any guide, the track records of the last two administrations provide a clearly comparable record. To borrow from Ronald Reagan’s famous “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”: Voters should ask themselves if they were better off under Trump or Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. His opponents focus on how Trump’s administration was marked by a relentless soap opera of high drama and chaos — much of which they fueled. And yes, many find him offensive — and we say fair enough: He can be ridiculously hyperbolic. But before COVID wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas. In 2021, when Biden-Harris took over, the country took a hard left turn, with disastrous results. Over these nearly four years, inflation has walloped Americans, millions of migrants have crossed the border illegally, some cities have been taken over by gangs and crime, radical and ridiculous culture wars over DEI and gender identity have set neighbor against neighbor. Let’s not forget that overshadowing all of this, the world is on the precipice of widespread war. Today, Trump exhibits the same strength and vigor as he did in 2016, despite the unprecedented and disgraceful weaponization of the justice system against him, two assassination attempts and the all-too-familiar constant barrage of hysterical media attacks on him. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has rightly been criticized as an underqualified political lightweight because she refuses to answer almost any question about the last four years or reveal any detailed future policy plans. What may also be just as true is that she doesn’t want the American people to know the full scale of her radical plans, because it would scare them off. Indeed, any close study of her record shows it to be that of a San Francisco progressive. If she wins, Harris will not only co-opt Bidenism but accelerate the progressive hurricane ripping through the fabric of American society. Voters this fall will decide if the future of our country bends toward prosperity, security, freedom, opportunity and innovation.

Peter Vlaming lost his job teaching high school French because he could not refer to a transgender student according to the student’s preferred pronouns without violating his sincerely-held religious beliefs. Now, his lawsuit against the West Point school board is a prime example of why Americans must pay closer attention to religious freedom protections at the local and state level. Thankfully, Napa Legal Institute’s 2nd inaugural “Faith and Freedom Index” shows which states are lacking in religious freedom protections. It also provides a roadmap as to how state governments can strengthen these protections and best allow their citizens to flourish. Vlaming represents countless Americans who have been unlawfully punished for exercising their First Amendment rights, and who remain fearful about the future of the nation – especially in an uncertain election year. From preferred pronouns, abortion, and transgenderism to burdensome tax regimes and regulations, there are countless ways that people of faith are essentially being told to renounce their beliefs or step away from the public sphere altogether. Properly addressing these attacks goes far beyond federal elections and policies, however. Local and state governments often make the decisions that have the most direct consequences on American’s daily lives, from zoning and land use regulations to tax laws. And local institutions – churches, schools, charities – often make a greater impact on the lives of ordinary Americans than the White House and Congress. This means that those seeking to protect religious Americans from discrimination must focus more of their time and attention on the laws that help local institutions thrive, particularly the faith-based nonprofit organizations that do so much to benefit society. This is why this week, the Napa Legal Institute released the second annual Faith and Freedom Index, an unprecedented state law analysis. The Index looks at 14 types of state laws – from religious freedom restoration acts and employment laws to charitable registration laws and tax exemptions – and ranks all 50 states (plus Washington, D.C.) on their friendliness (or lack of friendliness) towards faith-based nonprofits. There are some results that are not surprising: Alabama and Indiana receive the highest overall scores in the country; Kansas, Texas, and Mississippi round out the top 5. But there are other results that do not quite fit the political narrative. Red states like South Dakota and West Virginia score in the bottom 10 for overall scores, while Oregon and California are both in the top 10 for regulatory freedom for faith-based nonprofits. The results do not fall on purely partisan lines. Some laws have changed for the better since Napa Legal first released the Index in June 2023. For example, several states (including Nebraska, Iowa, and Utah) have passed religious freedom restoration acts. These crucial laws, which are now in place in 28 states, protect the free exercise of religion against intrusions by “neutral” laws that may not directly target religion but that can seriously affect religious exercise in practice. Additionally, a major development took place in Virginia in December 2023, when the Virginia Supreme Court decided the Vlaming case. Vlaming’s case ultimately clarified that, under the Virginia Constitution, the free exercise of religion receives much stronger protection than the minimum required by the First Amendment. The Vlaming decision is an encouraging reminder that states have the ability to strengthen religious freedom protections and better support the work of faith-based nonprofits. Yet while it is encouraging to be able to highlight positive changes in state law, the fact that no state in the nation scores above a 72% on the Napa Legal Faith and Freedom Index means there is much more work to be done, even in states friendly to religion and to faith-based nonprofits. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 State legislatures can do much to allow faith-based nonprofits to flourish within their states. They can create just employment and public accommodation laws that respect the beliefs and work of faith-based nonprofits. They can ensure that state of emergency laws do not violate the freedom of worship and religious exercise. They can enact corporate governance laws that respect the internal autonomy of religious organizations. And they can pass charitable registration laws and tax laws with proper exemptions for religious organizations, so that these nonprofits that do so much good for society can be free from unnecessary taxes, fees, paperwork, and administrative burdens that prevent them from accomplishing their missions. Local institutions in general and faith-based nonprofits in particular are a foundational part of a healthy society. While these institutions are formed privately by citizens of good will, the government plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the laws help rather than hinder the work of faith-based nonprofits. By reviewing the Faith and Freedom Index, passing laws that respect religious freedom, and eliminating burdensome regulations, state governments can do their part to achieve the common good and help our society to flourish. No American should be forced to lose his job because of his religious beliefs like Peter Vlaming did. Through a better understanding of where state religious freedom protections are lacking and the ways to address them, the Napa Legal Institute hopes to create an America where no one is prevented from or punished for living his faith. * * * Frank DeVito serves as Counsel at Napa Legal.
