It's all fun and games until they screw with the Second Amendment.
Here's an underappreciated fact about the philosophical and legal theory behind the Constitution: the 10 Articles of the Bill of Rights are special. They do not grant rights that can be revoked, even by later amendments. Rather, they are considered to describe "natural" rights which are prior to the Constitution itself, and which no government may revoke without forfeiting its legitimacy.
(Supporting rant about the Federalist papers, English classical liberalism, Blackstone, and the revolution of 1688 is here omitted.)
Why does this matter in 2026? Because there's a rumor abroad that a shadowy constellation of left-wing groups has a plan to engineer a color Revolution after the 2026 midterms.
I'm not going to comment on whether I think that rumor is true or not. Instead, I'm going to take it at face value and do some scenario analysis based on what their political objectives are supposed to be.
Abolish the Senate in favor of a a unicameral legislature? Pack the Supreme Court? Constitutionally mandate things like universal health care or a right to abortion? These would be very radical changes, but they are things which at least in theory you could do at an Article V convention convened by state governors. We'd still be inside the system of the Constitution.
What they couldn't do is mess with the Bill of Rights. Doing that wouldn't modify the Constitution within its own premises, it would legally and morally blow the entire constitutional charter to smithereens.
In practice, this is a problem because all of the factions rumored to be among the revolutionnaires have at least one thing in common: they hate that Americans are armed and have the capability to resist tyranny.
They'll come after the Second Amendment. If they delete it, or any other item in the Bill of Rights, more than half of the country will correctly evaluate that the foundations of our political system have been dynamited.
That's when shit gets real.

What happened with ABC and Don Jr. is media lawfare. Brian is either part of it or too dumb to understand what he is looking at, despite being paid huge amounts of money to understand it and expose it.
The sooner people understand that the media are not merely a partisan group that hates Trump or a collection of biased outlets that routinely get things wrong, the better. They are built into the lawfare machine. They help plan, coordinate, amplify, and legitimize its operations. Without them, the whole enterprise would fail.
Alfa Bank’s emails gave us a rare look under the hood during Russiagate. They showed the media communicating with the Clinton campaign as participants in the operation, not just cheering from the sidelines. The evidence is right there for all to see. The ABC stunt shows the same machinery at work. The millisecond the fake story came out, an army of Democrats, activists and other media lawfare operators, already primed to respond, rushed in to reinforce it.
This is a highly coordinated, vicious, and evil system. It has to be exposed and destroyed.

For anybody outside Ohio: Acton was the face of Ohio's COVID lockdown. March 12, 2020, she said "the math is over 100,000" Ohioans infected. Ohio had five confirmed cases. Next day: "I'm saying I'm guesstimating." Schools closed on that number, first in the country. Two Ohio judges ruled her orders unlawful or beyond her authority. The legislature stripped the health director's emergency powers over DeWine's veto. She quit in June 2020. Now she's running for governor and won't take questions about any of it.

Sorry Dr. Acton, you’re lying about this again. I’m the CEO and made the decision to move to TX. That was my decision, not Vivek’s. And if you ever come near leading Ohio, a lot of other companies will do the same.

Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos , I’m asking you to look at this once through the eyes of the people wearing the uniform since you own @washingtonpost.
We volunteered and accepted the bargain. Missed birthdays, broken bodies, years away from our families, hostile fire, and the possibility that if we die, our families get roughly $500,000 in life insurance. In much of America today, that barely buys a house.
We know our lot and we’re not complaining about it.
But the job is hard enough without having to wonder whether an American newspaper is going to publish classified wartime command deliberations because its newsroom despises the administration and wants another cheap political scalp.
Fight the President, the Secretary, the Pentagon. Whatever, that’s politics.
But when the ammunition for that fight is information tied to ongoing operations and the private judgments of senior commanders, you’re spending our risk to buy your headline.
That’s the part WE need you to understand.
Murphy already gets a vote. So does the enemy. Exhaustion, bad intelligence, mechanical failure and plain rotten luck all get votes. We volunteered to face those things.
We did NOT volunteer to become collateral damage in the Washington Post’s feud with an administration it hates.
Your reporters will publish the piece, watch the engagement numbers, and go home.
Some American kid will still be standing watch when they do.
Jeff, give us a fucking chance. Come on man. You’ve got to clean house at that paper. The journalists are too blackpilled to be of any use anymore. In fact, they’re literally harming us.
Our brothers and sisters are in a worse situation now due to this reporting. Don’t agree with the combat operations, fine. But come on. Leaking an SDOB? That’s objectively insane behavior.

Dolly Parton was uniquely loved because she had a unique ability not to jump into any cultural divide, but to be equally decent, caring, and kind to everybody.
If you’re trying to use her as a weapon in the service of your own political point of view, you absolutely do not get what made her special.
This is one of the few times where I see people all across the political spectrum united about something. Maybe we can just enjoy that because we haven’t seen that for a long time.

“One of the privileges of a rich man is that he can afford to be foolish much longer than a poor man.” And this is the situation of the United States. The financial policy of the United States is very bad and is getting worse. Perhaps the United States can afford to be foolish a bit longer than some other countries.
The most important thing to remember is that inflation is not an act of God; inflation is not a catastrophe of the elements or a disease that comes like the plague. Inflation is a policy — a deliberate policy of people who resort to inflation because they consider it to be a lesser evil than unemployment. But the fact is that, in the not very long run, inflation does not cure unemployment.
Inflation is a policy. And a policy can be changed. Therefore, there is no reason to give in to inflation. If one regards inflation as an evil, then one has to stop inflating. One has to balance the budget of the government. Of course, public opinion must support this; the intellectuals must help the people to understand. Given the support of public opinion, it is certainly possible for the people’s elected representatives to abandon the policy of inflation.
We must remember that, in the long run, we may all be dead and certainly will be dead. But we should arrange our earthly affairs, for the short run in which we have to live, in the best possible way. And one of the measures necessary for this purpose is to abandon inflationary policies.

Not sure an article from 2016 really tells us anything about a grocery price surge that started in 2020. But regardless, “it’s worse in other countries” is a really bad answer and it certainly won’t be enough to persuade voters. We expect to be better than other countries. This is America. Better than other countries is bare minimum.

He is the final boss of the shitlibs. The king of the managerial class. Never has there been such a powerful, high paid, micromanaging, incompetent bureaucrat who is so immune to personal accountability.

Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.
The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations.
Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book.
Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy.
Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax.
There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior.
We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid).
That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior.
America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control.
Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.
