The topic of eliminating Property Tax has been brought up. More than one elected official that I respect has raised it. Personally, I like the idea. I like it from the Constitutional and Liberty point of view. The argument is simple and powerful: if our real property can be taxed, then we, the citizens, do […]
Last week, we talked about China’s AI ambitions and the catastrophic scenario if America loses the AI race. Today, I want to shift focus and talk about what AI means to America. Most people have heard of Adam Smith, even if they haven’t read him. He’s the Scottish economist who gave us the concept of […]
Last week, I talked about the objection to data centers is really about objecting to AI. To understand why American AI leadership matters, you need to understand why China is pursuing AI with such urgency — and what they intend to do with it. China has a serious demographic problem. Decades of the one-child policy […]
Last week, I walked through the specific objections to data centers and found most of them don’t hold up under examination. But beneath all of it lies a deeper anxiety that warrants honest engagement: the fear of artificial intelligence itself. That fear is not crazy. It is not fringe. It deserves a straight answer — […]
I ran for a local office this last election in Jefferson County. In one of my cottage meetings, I was asked about data centers. About the same time, there have been many concerns posted on Facebook opposing data centers. Some of the concerns sound alarming—they’ll drain our water, gobble up farmland, and overload our power […]

The Statue of Liberty features the inscription: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door! These words by Emma Lazarus have inspired Americans and the oppressed around the world. Many came, […]
By now, you must have heard of President Trump’s Zero Income Tax Plan. Even among conservative media, doubt was verbalized. Can that be done? Is it constitutional? Isn’t it too bold, too aggressive, too “king,” too “tyrannical”? Or does he have the moral authority to do such a thing? Constitution Background I want to concentrate […]
It looks like we will be receiving a $2000 check from the tariff revenue. As much as I like the idea of receiving money, many Conservatives prefer the revenue to go towards the National Debt. Let’s talk about these concepts. The current National Debt is around $38 trillion. It is about 120% of the GDP, […]
Amid many pressing events—the Charlie Kirk shooting, the passing of President Russel M. Nelson, and the tragedy in Michigan—the ongoing government shutdown hasn’t received the attention and explanation it deserves. I want to clarify what’s really happening with the shutdown, the Big Beautiful Bill, and how appropriation works. What’s Causing the Shutdown? The federal government […]
Recently, I had an exchange with a few patriots on the Convention of the States. I thought the topic was long dead. I must have been wrong. So, I have re-gathered my thoughts on this topic. Article V of the Constitution reads: The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall […]
You must have heard by now that Alberta is contemplating leaving Canada. From there, many questions will follow. Will it become an independent nation? Will it team up with other Western Canadian provinces to form a separate Western Canada, distinct from the original Canada? Will it seek to join the United States? For clarity, we […]
