Issues beyond current events that inform the dialogue.
We Americans can spot a hypocrite. And we loathe them. He says companies should stop investing overseas and bring jobs back home. That’s why he’s pushing new tariffs. The message: build in America, or pay up. But since returning to the White House in January, Trump’s own company has announced four big development deals. Not…
We associate ethnic cleansing with atrocities in distant places—mass displacements, targeted removals, and governments using the machinery of the state to purge communities they’ve marked as expendable. The term has a clear definition: the systematic removal of people based on their ethnicity, nationality, or identity, often carried out through coercive force or administrative control. The…
Protest, Parenting, and the American Pattern Throughout American history, moments of deep national reckoning have often played out in the streets. From the Boston Tea Party to the Selma to Montgomery marches, from anti-war demonstrations to Standing Rock, protest has been a defining thread in the fabric of our democracy. It is how everyday people—parents,…
For years, conservatives argued staunchly as defenders of two core American principles: constitutional limits on government power and the rule of law. They warned of creeping authoritarianism, condemned executive overreach, and fought to preserve the separation of powers. In the past few months, that message has disappeared.

But with the launch of the “End DEI” informant portal, we have crossed a threshold. This is…
The Deficit Is a Serious Problem—But Tax Cuts Are Making It Worse The national debt and budget deficit are serious issues. There’s no debate about that. Deficits should be managed responsibly, ensuring the country remains financially stable while still investing in what drives long-term economic growth. But the approach we’ve seen repeated for decades—cutting taxes…
A new elite ruling class isn’t fighting over capitalism or socialism—they’re replacing both. Techno-feudalism is taking hold, and Musk is spearheading the transition to an AI-driven regime where power belongs to those who control the algorithms. A year ago, I would have dismissed this as a conspiracy theory—the ramblings of a madman, a dystopian fantasy…
A Nation Divided by Headlines America isn’t just politically fractured—it’s informationally fractured. In general, the media ecosystem, whether legacy, mainstream, or conservative, prioritizes outrage over facts, clicks over context, and fear over solutions. Instead of providing a shared foundation for public debate, media coverage reinforces division, shaping entirely different versions of reality depending on where…
