Why the anonymity? Well, I have a career to protect that would be in jeopardy if some people knew what I really think. Spyboy? Probably not what you think. It's a Mardi Gras Indian term. It's what I started with. I do love the current moniker. That will probably remain.

This "pivot" argument is simply not true. Heritage has long taken positions on issues relating to sex, gender, family, etc., dating back to its earliest days in the 1980s.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.

Trump is the very thing he warned us about.
He is incapable of following the law, he does not pivot with policy, and he is devoid of integrity. He holds a sharpie and uses it like he’s brandishing a weapon to execute executive orders.

Media has to drop the description of DHS activities as "immigration crackdown". The agency is engaged in illegal beatings, snatches, disappearances and death every day. The parked woman they rushed in a group was white and a citizen; every person in the USA has been at risk since Jan 20, 2025.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost:
Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."
In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

In an even remotely healthy political system and culture - and everywhere else in the democratic world - January 6 would have been a dealbreaker: The end of Trump as a major political figure. He would have been convicted, shunned, banished - everyone associated with him ostracized from public life.
January 6 in History
Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.”
And here we are.

"Putin has been attempting to influence Donald Trump to seize both Venezuela and Greenland since at least 2017. The effort, rooted in Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, hinged on American embrace of the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 policy ... that focused American influence within the Western Hemisphere."
