Conservatives’ fresh instructions to history
(Eric Sailer)
In the early days of National Review, William F. Buckley Jr. liked to draw stark lines. One such line is right there in the November 1955 mission statement: “Conservatives in this country — at least those who have not made their peace with the New Deal, and there is serious question whether there are others — are non-licensed nonconformists,” Buckley wrote.
Buckley helped make support for free markets — what the same document called the “competitive price system” — a foundational element of the conservative movement.

It is that time of the year once again – for those who still follow the game of Baseball – the 2025 World Series. I no longer follow sports – I have no time, but this is today – but this was yesterday!

Those with the means and land – complete with a pond – are breeding their own tilapia, raising animals, and cultivating their own food. But not everyone can become a farmer or rancher. If that’s not an option, you may want to seek out wild-caught fish and source meat and produce from farmers who avoid vaccines in their livestock and crops. 
The Democrat Party needs to change its name as it certainly isn’t democratic. The Democrats have shut down the government in order to prevent democracy from working. By freezing the government, they are trying to prevent the MAGA agenda that the people voted for. The Democrat’s method of operation is: When you can’t steal the election, shutdown the government.
In the 20th century, the difference between Republicans and Democrats was between a party that wants citizens rewarded on merit and a party that wants citizens rewarded based on needs. It was Democrats who gave the needy property rights, sometimes called entitlements, via taxation, rent control, and other redistributive methods in the incomes of taxpayers.
According to Thomas Jefferson, our Constitution was designed to “chain down the government” in order to protect the people from tyranny.

Through the process of Gradualism, many parts of our Constitution have already been rendered ineffective. 
When political movements define good and evil by loyalty to the group, they exchange God-given morality for moral tribalism. That’s why the leaked Young Republican chat – filled with demeaning language and cruel mockery – was not just a lapse of decorum. It reflected a philosophy that confuses winning with righteousness.
