OREGON: We met the man who stopped the Silver Rail Elementary shooter in Bend. He is a dad of two students at the school. His family tells me he was driving home on his break for lunch when his vehicle was shot. They say he’s struggling with what happened and traumatized by the fact he couldn’t save more people. He’s grateful for those he did save, but wishes he could have done more.

Since WWII, State Department employees largely became UN-admiring, nation state cultural and moral relativists who explicitly pursued careers in Foreign Service with the intent of escaping American values, not furthering her interests abroad. Welcome home.
The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.

“The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States.” - Article II. Section 1. As in shall vest in a President, exclusively. There’s no such thing as an independent agency, department or some other Fourth Branch of government.

Woodrow Wilson was obsessed with the German administrative state. He was first president to run on the idea that the Constitution is an anachronism, incompatible with modernity. Wilson sought to swap the Republic for a permanent, unaccountable, unelected bureaucratic-class.
Justice Thomas tells the truth about central banking in the U.S. It really isn't compatible with our republican system of government -- it's a progressive, German import.

Justice Scalia spent no less than 10 hrs lecturing us in law school on the folly of Morrison v. Olson and Humphrey’s Executor. I have audio from the lectures that I should release, all very entertaining. He was on a mission to restore the Separation of Powers! Scalia wins!

I assume that’s primarily a function of the perception of ideological adherence to wokenes, per profession. The left did a tremendous job of capturing professional trade groups, ex. law (the ABA), medicine (AMA) and expecting puritanical adherence by university professors, etc.

It took me a full year following my dad’s passing to finally listen to his old voicemails. I’m glad I did, it’s like being transported to the before time. It also demonstrates the future value of capturing and creating digital “memories in a bottle,” for those you care about.

The biggest problem with the 5th Circuit is I don’t live within its jurisdiction, so my state laws endure regardless.

Marxists captured a self-regulated profession that also happens to be the basis for an entire branch of government and you could argue, all three.

NYT frames this as if USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying, taxpayer-funded jobs. In reality, this tells a darker story—we spent half-a-century debt-financing a managerial class of Leftists whose only qualifications were ideological.
"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/po…

The Constitution & 2nd Amendment protect the lawful ownership of semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15. @TheJusticeDept will aggressively defend this right, & the @CivilRights Division will sue if states refuse to comply.

We finally gave up on the notion that if you break it, you buy it and accepted that we can simply destroy our enemies without performative nation building in an act of liberal appeasing self-flagellation.

Or… it could signal the end of America’s goodwill and tolerance towards anti-American, jihadi-based governments.
An American president threatening the death of an ancient civilization is in some ways the end of the 250-year moral experiment of a constitutional republic that the framers saw as a model for all mankind.

Iran’s IRGC and its external proxy groups - Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis - all share one inherently fatal flaw. They expect to wield total economic and military control over a populace without accountability to the people for their compounding failures and missteps.
Iran holds only one card: America's reluctance to use its full power.
