The Founders built a robust system that survived a civil war and all kinds of chaos, but it was built on the presumption that politicians would behave honorably or, at the very least, that the public would demand honorable behavior from politicians. An honor system cannot function in the Age of Ego.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This is the story the NYT ran today about the contributions Haitians have made to Springfield, OH and how much they have revived the local economy and the somewhat dire future that now awaits this town. Now contrast this with how the same paper covered the issue just before elections (posted below)

He instructed his political allies to break norms and give him five more seats to ensure he maintains his power, knowing he will likely lose power without rigging.
He also wants to unconstitutionally cease legal voting means.
And journos still don’t want to call him anti-democratic/authoritarian?

I’ll keep saying it, even if my platform and influence isn’t that large, one of the first lessons of journalism school that got seared into my brain was:
If the left says it’s raining and the right says it isn’t, your job isn’t to report the disagreement. It’s to open the window.

Dear journalists: if you willfully resist asking confrontational questions of this demonstrably corrupt regime out of fear of losing access, that access is absolutely worthless. If self-censorship is the trade-off, we don’t need your stenographic skills. We don’t need you at all.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

NEWSMAX: CBS and CNN and others are attributing airplane turbulence to higher temperatures and climate change. Has this come across your desk?
