No fun of any kind.
“From the river to the sea” isn’t so fun when it’s the Seine to the Mediterranean, huh?

The home for conservatives
Popular opinion is fickle. Principles are final. The challenge for Conservatives today is to hold fast to our principles. When principles guide us, they can lead us to our greatest political successes. As Reagan said in his time, “Our task now is not to sell a philosophy, but to make the majority of Americans, who already share that philosophy, see that modern conservatism offers them a political home.” Ronald Reagan (1977)🇺🇸 To Learn More About Today’s Home For Conservatism, Go To advancingamericanfreedom.com

The Hyde Amendment was initially passed with large numbers of Democrats. Now, almost none.
🧵50 years ago today, on September 30, 1976, Congress passed the Hyde Amendment.

Is your state flourishing?
“Utah has come out on top of yet another study of American flourishing: the Independence Index, which measures how states are faring in the pursuit of the American Dream,” Faith Hall writes.

But was it Bud Lite?
youtu.be/VsrJRXGs91g   Alaska is trying to seize bush pilot Ken Jouppi’s $95,000 Cessna airplane over a 12 dollar 6-pack of Budweiser beer – no, really! I break down the latest with Samuel Gedge on this week’s episode of Court is Adjourned

At $181,000 per “poor” family, there must be impressive overhead somewhere in the poverty industry.
In fiscal 2025, the federal government spent $1.256 trillion on the largest general programs to help low-income people. That comes out to $35,000 in annual expenditures for every person in poverty, or $181,000 per family in poverty.

Prepare for serious problems.
30 million American men are single, up 47% since 2000. This is bigger than a dating problem. It threatens our economy, our traditional family structure, and our nation’s happiness. America’s future depends on strong families!

It’s happening.
A Massachusetts family says the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy, citing their Catholic faith. The parents allege a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without their knowledge, then reported them to the Department of Children and Families. Now the state has guardianship, and a restraining order prevents the teen's parents and older brother from contacting her. A judge has temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone as the family fights the case. The next court hearing is set for Oct. 29. | @LaurenGreenFox @AmericaNewsroom

Pay attention
Replying to @poordart
The federal government has spent $1.9 trillion on healthcare in this fiscal year so far. That's over twice as much as national defense ($876 billion). If you've got a problem with the American healthcare system, it's not for a lack of spending...

The speech that saved lives.
She’s literally a hero. Reports from the inside saying her speech killed the Kill Bill. Against all odds, today the UK echoed the teaching of the Church: Suffering does not cause people to lose their dignity. Death must be welcomed, but never administered.

This time, socialism will be really tried.
Attempts to restrict what Americans may do with their own property are not new. Open disdain for private property like the kind coming from the DSA, however, is new and contradicts one of America’s most foundational rights. The Supreme Court can and should take two cases this term to reinforce property rights before they are eroded further or eradicated entirely.

There is always hope.
The moment the UK Parliament rejected the assisted suicide/euthanasia bill once and for all. Be grateful today. Thank God for life.

NEVER lose hope.
BREAKING: The UK Parliament has voted by 286-270 to REJECT assisted suicide/euthanasia. An incredible result. Thank you to EVERYONE who worked tirelessly on defeating this wretched bill. Especially Right to Life UK and my beloved wife!

This trade war will have lasting consequences.
Canada accounts for: ✅77% of Montana's trade ✅77% North Dakota’s trade ✅62% of Maine’s trade ✅55% of Vermont’s trade As the Trump administration wages war on Canadian trade, some states will pay a higher price than others

Watch this mifepristone case
The Fifth Circuit panel could hardly have been more hostile toward Louisiana’s effort to protect women and enforce its laws protecting unborn children. Two of the three judges were appointed by Democratic presidents, and both pressed the argument advanced by the abortion-pill manufacturers that Louisiana lacks standing to challenge the FDA’s mail-order policy. But Louisiana argues that abortion drugs are being mailed into the state in violation of its laws, leaving the state and its taxpayers to address the resulting medical and enforcement costs. If those direct injuries are insufficient to establish standing, who does have standing to challenge the policy? Kudos to @AGLizMurrill and Solicitor General Ben Aguiñaga for defending the defenseless.

State-sponsored racism update.
Prof. @JoshMBlackman, Professor of Law at South Texas College of Law Houston, discusses DEI programming in CLE training during yesterday's webinar: “I think one of the most pernicious aspects of DEI programming is that it is not just sitting here and listening… the idea that we live in a structurally racist society and the government is saying this is the truth, it is basically thought control, and if you disagree with or refuse to participate in it, you are then denied credit by the state… I do think this is a form of compelled speech, it’s a form of compelled indoctrination.”

“While big businesses have the resources to pay K Street to lobby for tariff carve-outs, families and small businesses are left to pay the full tariff tax, distorting the free-enterprise system that makes America great.” Rachel Greszler
