No More Beta Republicans We Need Alphas

We’ve watched the SOS office struggle through corruption and scandals. Then his own Chief of Staff was here illegally. These aren’t just embarrassments — they’re gifts to Democrats.

Homeschooling is the future It could save America

I feel sad for the people who will miss out on having children because of anti-family propaganda pushed by the left. Humanity will collapse without increasing birth rates.

I was wondering why the Mormons decided to settle in Utah rather than going all the way west to California, which was still largely uninhabited before the gold rush of 1848. Turns out they actually did consider this, and Mormon pioneer Sam Brannan led 238 Mormons to Yerba Buena (now San Francisco) in 1846, actually making SF a Mormon-majority city for a year or two. Brannan arrived in California a year before the first Mormons arrived in Utah. In 1847, Brannan met with Mormon leader Brigham Young to urge him to bring the Mormons to California, but Young refused because California was too desirable and they wouldn't be able to maintain a stable Mormon demographic majority. Young was right. Utah remained majority Mormon until around 2007, while California was swamped by Gold Rush settlers starting in 1848 and is only ~2% Mormon today. As an early settler, landowner, and proprietor in California, Brannan ended up becoming enormously wealthy. He was the first to popularize the Gold Rush through his newspaper, and became the backstory behind “in a gold rush, sell shovels” when he bought up the state’s entire supply of picks, pans, and shovels to sell them to gold speculators. He also created SF’s first private vigilante group to stamp out crime and made Napa Valley a popular tourist destination when he founded the town of Calistoga. Brannan Street in Soma is named after him.

The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.

🚨BREAKING: The Indiana Supreme Court just ruled in favor of our office and delivered a decisive WIN for the people of Indiana and the unborn! The court denied Planned Parenthood’s petition to transfer jurisdiction. This means the Court of Appeals’ ruling upholding our pro-life law stands firm. Thanks to this decision, our protections for life remain constitutional and will be enforced. Like we’ve said before, no matter how many times Planned Parenthood tries to sue and push forward their culture of death, we will continue fighting for mothers, fathers, and the unborn.
