In the lead up to the Civil War, slaveholding states embraced the idea that they could nullify… Continue reading The new Democrat nullification movement
For a man who prided himself on principle, communicating our Founding ethos those better than anyone else, Jefferson had a habit of discarding them when convenient. Was he a liar, a hypocrite, a fraud, or simply a political genius? Thomas Jefferson has long been acknowledged as one of the most eloquent communicators of our Founding… Continue reading Thomas Jefferson and why power trumps principle in politics
The universal condemnation of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments and demands for a new free speech absolutism were the rare positive developments in a horrible, baffling week, but I can’t help thinking much of it is situational and the battle will continue.

William Shakespeare’s King… Continue reading Shakespeare’s King Lear and the limits of power in the modern world
