The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.

Based on those conversations, I am most confident that we will build an unmatched grassroots political army for Governor DeSantis to help carry him to the White House.

Republican leadership tends to flood cash behind moderate candidates who will take orders from leadership, and they leave conservatives often gasping for oxygen—conservatives who are strong, viable candidates, but they leave them severely underfunded, i think leadership should stay out of primaries…when they get involved in primaries, they’re almost consistently wrong.

When I got to Stanford, I got to know some conservatives there through the Stanford Review, having actual conservative friends in the flesh — which I didn't have in high school, I just kind of had the reading — made a big difference. Being able to have people I could be friends with who could sharpen me and my conservatism. So yeah, that was it — discovering Thomas Sowell in high school and continuing to build on the ideas at Stanford through the friends that I had.

If we don't win this one and expose what happened -- every cell in my body militates against the idea that America has become a place to cheat like this, i think the evidence is overwhelming, and if we don't fight and win some ground here, Republicans and conservatives, for example, in Minnesota will never win another statewide election, and the long-term possibility for Republicans to be able to win in other states and nationally gets narrower and narrower.

Over the past days...( replacement theory) has, for very good reason, been widely condemned, but the uncomfortable truth is that a less conspiratorial cousin of it has long been embraced in mainstream public discourse.

So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause. - Padme Amidala - Tory MPs have voted down a bid to impose a windfall tax on oil and gas giants that could save families £600.
