What Congress is doing right now with its latest “fix” for college athletics begs for commentary. The recent hearings only confirmed what anyone paying attention already knows: Washington has no idea how college sports actually work and insists on marching in with another grand solution.
Federalist 75 deals with the President and his power to make treaties with other nations, subject to approval of two thirds of the Senate.
With the exception of impeachment, the Power to Pardon is absolute. Nixon’s resignation is what enabled Ford to pardon him.
The Democrat Party and their legacy media allies are framing the 2026 midterms as a referendum on President Trump and Republican governance in Congress, leveraging historical midterm dynamics where the president’s party often loses seats. Democratic leaders (e.g., Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash, the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee chairman) explicitly call for making it a referendum on “Trump’s one big beautiful bill and agenda.” Their messaging focuses on affordability, health care costs, farm/economic impacts from policies, and immigration enforcement effects in key districts. They are targeting ostensibly vulnerable GOP seats in Trump-won areas, expanding maps and emphasizing “MAGA extremism” or unfulfilled promises.
The government’s bureaucracy is being trimmed and reformed. Bureaucrats who’ve abused their position are being terminated. And state officials are getting a refresher on federalism. Yes, I voted for that. Hopefully this continues on past January 2029.
Shapiro’s record fundraising contrasts sharply with Garrity’s locally rooted, fiscally disciplined operation, underscoring two fundamentally different campaign philosophies shaping Pennsylvania’s governor’s race.
The world has spent decades arguing that nuclear weapons preserve peace through deterrence. Fair enough. But if they are essential for our security, on what basis do we claim they are unnecessary for someone else’s? That’s the uncomfortable question at the heart of the Iran debate. The world’s nuclear powers insist these weapons are too dangerous for others while simultaneously declaring them indispensable for themselves. Whether that position is wise, necessary, or pure hypocrisy depends entirely on which side of the missile silo you’re standing.
Every few years, somebody dusts off the phrase “toxic masculinity” and uses it to explain everything from loud pickup trucks to dads who refuse to ask for directions.
A new Department of Labor report on men found that the American labor force is missing about 7 million men who would otherwise be working. This means close to one-third of all men of working age are not included in the labor force.
What if the next great flood isn’t water?
What if it’s a collapse of confidence?
For generations we have been taught to trust retirement accounts, stock markets, debt-fueled growth, central banks, and an economic system so large that most people don’t understand how it actually works. We assume tomorrow will look like today because it always has. The people in Noah’s day thought the same thing. They were eating, drinking, marrying, buying, selling, building, and planning for the future right up until the moment their world disappeared beneath the waves. If the modern god of Mammon were ever exposed as a false idol, the greatest losses might not be financial. They might be spiritual. Millions would discover that the thing they trusted to save them never could. The question isn’t whether markets rise or fall. The question is whether your faith rises and falls with them.
Hamilton as Publius, discusses the differences between the nature of our President, European Kings, and even the Governor of New York.
Dude, get over yourself: it’s not. Unless you mean the occasion where a president will speak about how we came to be a free nation in which a people can pursue any manner of vocation they desire. Whatever you have lapped up or cherry-picked from the LSMBTGANF propaganda is not of interest to those gathering for a Memorial Day speech that celebrates the sacrifices of those who gave their all for this nation.
Adding identity markers like gender turns ballots into political compliance forms, distracting from qualifications and diluting clear voter choice.

Federalist 84 is an interesting read because it includes Hamilton defending the fact that there is no Bill of Rights in the draft constitution.
T.S. Eliot wrote, “April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” It must suck to be a manic depressant.
