MACDONALD: Could One Convict End Federal Overreach?

One of the fun bits about Federalism is watching Democrats hate on it until they can’t stop tripping over each other to embrace it. A great recent example is illegal immigration.

Trump a mandate to drain the swamp, yet, here we are a year into his re-election, with the same D.C. swamp denizens seemingly unscathed, no prosecutions, no accountability for even the violations of 18 U.S. Code S.242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law, … Read more

MacDonald: The Blobs War against Russia Continues Without Trump?

Ukraine is credited with doing some amazing things this past week.

Only ’47’ More Months To Go!

Democrats and bureaucrats (almost always the same thing) are lawyering up against risk of lawsuits while others have filed scores of lawsuits. The proglodytes … Read more

DOGE Is Also Tracking Bureaucratic Regulations

“Well, “Taxation is Theft” especially when it is taken by bureaucrats and spent in ways that have nothing to do with America’s interests but spent on Leftist ideological pet projects.

“Tradition Is Not the Worship of Ashes, but the Preservation of Fire.”

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts is featured in the most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. The topic is “Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order.” He opens with this. The top-down, elitist brand of politics that has dominated the United States since the end of the Cold War—under Republican and Democratic administrations alike—has failed. Yes, we … Read more
