First, will repeat my mantra that we concentrate on the states. Much easier to evaluate performance and assert accountability. We need to pay close attention to what they do as opposed to what they say. Ken Paxton serves as a role model who talks conservative, then does it. He just successfully defended the new right to life law with the Texas Supreme Court. And has sued the current d.c. cabal 75 times. More of that please.

Paxton had a good interview with Bannon in recent days. I worry that some elected officials who give the appearance of being anti-internationalist tyranny will fold under greater pressure (such as where currency or federal force is brought to bear). But I think Paxton is righteously on the war path, with virtually no ambivalence on issues that matter.

He exemplifies why I stress state gov. More focused And easier to monitor pols. A lot of power still resides in the states if they will use it as Paxton has demonstrated.

Ah, if only the states would use it! But when the Dems move in and start to control everything, the Conservatives seem to fold. Don Trump Jr had an excellent interview with Tucker Carlson today and talked about how soft the Republicans have been and how it’s time to toughen up. Maybe this travesty of justice just done with President Trump will open more eyes.

If you ask me, the republicans stance on being a wet noodle, is presented in a way which indicates that they are playing a precisely written part in a play.

I personally have zero doubt that republicans in power are in lockstep with a gameplan which has been in effect for a very long time. This is why when i meet someone, and they ask me if I'm a republican, I tell them no, that I consider myself a constitutional conservative, as the word Republican has a negative connotation to it, in my mind
