Enjoyed speaking twice in Utah yesterday about why conservatives must defend the separation of powers and reign in an out of control presidency.
Had a lot of fun talking with @cherijacobus.bsky.social this week. Please consider giving this a listen.
@greggnunziata.bsky.social "we have an obligation to tend to what we've inherited from previous generations to our laws, to our system of government, to our freedom, and to pass it on to the next generation in as good of shape or better."

Your 401ks are down today because your billionaire president's feelings are hurt that some committee of Europeans didn't give him an award.
America'a economic, trade, and foreign policy should not turn on the whims of one emotionally malformed man.
The Supreme Court could help remind us that we are a self governing people by ruling against the Administration in the tariffs case today.
Donald Trump is somewhere between indifferent and violently hostile to each leg of traditional conservatism's three legged stool. Yet, if you question a thing he does, people will say you're not a real conservative
The Society for the Rule of Law Institute statement on the corrupt prosecution of Jerome Powell
societyfortheruleoflaw.org/jerome-powel...
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, has abused power and corrupted justice, by the spurious and vindictive prosecution of American citizens, and that he is therefore impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors...
As I've been saying, Trump has been running the federal government like an organized crime enterprise. Shocking as this latest development may be, it is but one example.
Trump must be impeached and removed if our constitutional republic is to survive.
Threats to the rule of law, the Constitution, and American democracy are growing, and we @chkbal.bsky.social are growing to meet them. Are you a conservative, libertarian, or center right patriot who puts first principles ahead of personalities and partisanship? Apply to join our team.
To me, this was the most clear video of a law enforcement order committing a homicide that I've ever seen. He was acquitted.

"Always oppose public sector unions, always question the use of coercive government power, unless the government employees in question carry a gun and a badge" is not a coherent position.
I come from a law enforcement family and wear a law enforcement shield on a medalion on my chest every day. I've watched the videos. I'm not prepared to judge the lawfulness of the shooting, but it doesn't look good, and the reflexive defense of it is grotesque.
I spoke with The Telegraph about the administration's shifting legal and policy justifications for the intervention in Venezuela.

I wrote this weeks before January 6, 2021. The basic argument, deeply unheeded then and since, is ever more urgent.
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
No president has ever more clearly deserved impeachment, conviction, and disqualification than Donald J. Trump after Jan 6, 2020. The failure of most Senate Republicans to do their duty will echo for eons. They should be forever defined by their disgrace, cowardice, and betrayal.
What happened on this day five years ago: a mob attacked the seat of government in an attempt to overturn an election. It was a national travesty and a series of crimes, set in motion by Donald Trump, who now enjoys immunity and has pardoned those who broke the law on his behalf.
I spoke with the WSJ about domestic implications of the action in Venezuela.

I find it kind of funny how many MAGA folks seem to think it's an answer to an argument of mine to say they are winning and my old-fashioned conservatism is losing. First, that's not an answer. Second, the opposite was true a decade ago. The wheel turns. There are no lost causes.
