It’s looking like Trump’s second term has, in many ways, signaled the end of the conservative era as we knew it. This isn’t just a shift in political strategy; it’s a fundamental reimagining of what conservatism actually *is*. The old guard, those voices that once represented a more traditional, thoughtful approach, are now largely irrelevant. The rise of MAGA and its fervent supporters has exposed a raw, unvarnished form of conservatism that was always lurking beneath the surface.
This “mask-off conservatism” has cast aside the pretense of civility and replaced it with a direct embrace of previously unspoken desires. What was once couched in careful rhetoric is now laid bare: a zero-sum worldview where certain groups are seen as deserving of everything, while others are deemed the “rabble” to be purged.… Continue reading

It’s a pretty straightforward statement, really, and the core of the issue boils down to this: any military action by the United States to invade Greenland would be a direct act of war against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Think about that for a moment. This isn’t just some hypothetical scenario; it’s a potential consequence of certain actions that have, or have been rumored to be, discussed. If the US were to invade Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark, which is a NATO ally, it would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty.… Continue reading

He was addressing the Trump administration’s policies, which he believed were violating this fundamental right. The core of his concern was the potential for retribution against academics who challenged the administration’s actions, like arrests, detentions, and deportations of pro-Palestinian activists.… Continue reading
