I’m with the skeptics on these AI data centers. Not because I’m against data centers, but because Big Tech is running roughshod over local communities instead of working with them on the real trade-offs.

If the conservative response to any & all critiques of capitalism or even acknowledgements that problems exist within the American economic system is “YOU’RE A FREAKING SOCIALIST” then we might as well just hand the DSA everything. Literally pushing people into the enemy camp.

Most definitely it is about what Pat Buchanan represented. Today’s self-proclaimed ‘principled conservatives’ act as if Buchanan wasn’t conservative. They mistake being conservative for an ideology called ‘conservatism.’ A central tenet of being conservative is distrust of any ideology, any -ism. Others tried to make Pat a pariah. They failed. And even those who disagreed respected Pat. Barbie’s summary of what Pat represented is a glib caricature. Pat Buchanan stood for the America First pillars of the MAGA movement decades before it existed: 1. Restrict immigration. 2. Reduce the trade deficit. 3. Realist foreign policy. That’s why President Donald Trump personally called Pat in 2016 to apologize for things he previously said about Pat. Trump apologizes to no one, but he saw Buchanan as a predecessor. As Buchanan would quip in the Trump years: “The ideas made it, but I didn’t.”

The real historical dispute isn’t over whether these people remained cordial. It’s over what Buchanan represented. Patrick Buchanan was one of the founders of modern paleoconservatism. His movement emphasized: - the Israel lobby - using government to preserve what he viewed as America’s cultural and moral foundations He also had a real problem with the idea of liberty as guaranteed by the constitution. Today’s debates about postliberalism, national conservatism, and parts of the New Right often look back to Buchanan as an intellectual predecessor. So when Mark Levin criticizes Buchanan’s legacy, and Bradley Devlin defends it, they are arguing about which branch of conservatism should define the Republican Party, not simply about whether Reagan and Buchanan were personally friendly. The friendships are interesting. The ideological lineage is the actual issue. And once again, this is meant to show people that the actual debate that is happening within the Republican right is about the post liberal movement which has really tried to offer you skate itself and pretend like it is mainstream conservatism. Mainly because it wasn’t received like it had hoped to be received. But co-opting Maga for the post liberal right is probably not going to work. I mean, I don’t know, but I do know enough about the post liberal movement to say that I am not in favor of redefining constitutional conservatism along those lines.

@bradleydevlin Pat was a very likable guy. Even Hunter S Thompson and Pat had a long friendship. Pat was a model of being a man of principle who remained committed to his friendships. Speaks very well of his ordered priorities.

How do you increase metrics for mass deportation? You have to make it increasingly difficult for illegal aliens to live and work in the US. No driver's licenses, no banking, zero benefits. @DailySignal @bradleydevlin @NICEnforcement

I was pleasantly surprised the Maine debate moderators asked about our $40 trillion national debt. What’s not surprising? The lame answers from each Democrat. I agree with @IngrahamAngle on this one—there’s not enough money to fund their socialist dreams.

For those who don’t know the history: This is a lie, mostly of omission. 1. Reagan and Buchanan had their disagreements in 92, but remained friends. 2. Despite Buckley’s betrayal, Buckley and Buchanan still had respect for one another, communicated in letters, etc. 3. Goldwater chose Dole over Buchanan in ‘96–true! Goldwater was increasingly upset that Buchanan was pushing the GOP to be pro-life and against LGBT (an era when some of Goldwater’s more outlandish positions had a grasp of him). Mark knows this, won’t say any of it. Why? What is he trying to say?

A dark day for Hungary. Today, Parliament is adopting constitutional amendments that unlawfully remove the sitting President of the Republic and ban sitting opposition MPs from running for re-election. The former Prime Minister had already been banned from running again. This marks the beginning of a constitutional crisis that could last for years. Ironically, it is being created by the party with the largest parliamentary majority in Hungary’s democratic history. Why? Because, like their liberal authoritarian allies in Brussels, they may have won the election, but they know they deceived their voters. And they fear that, in a free and fair democratic contest, they would be voted out. A government that fears the voters will always end up fearing democracy itself.

So the unstated argument here is… 1. JD Vance (Catholic) speaks in Augustinian/Aristotelian terms 2. Niebuhr (Protestant) revived/reconstructed Protestant Christian realism, was inspired by Augustine, and thought all sorts of good and bad things. 3. Obama said he likes Niebuhr in 2007. 4. JD Vance = Barack Obama? That’s what you’ve got?

President Donald Trump came millimeters from death. Two days later, he chose JD Vance as his Vice President. Legacy was top of mind. The ‘Never Trump’ crowd that is now ‘Never Vance’ should remember that.
