In a world where the stakes are as high as nuclear security and apocalypse, a government without stable institutions is not just a risk; it's the very definition of insanity. Institutions built on structure and continuity are our safeguard against the unthinkable. #NuclearSecurity #Governance

Governments, like corporations, follow rules, policies, and procedures—not just to create stability against the unpredictable nature of human behavior, but to preserve institutional memory, intelligence, and the skills to keep systems functioning. #InstitutionalStability #NuclearSecurity

4th Circuit We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.

Make American American Again MAAA Why Attack Harvard? Independent thought. Accusation, innuendo, spin—truth drowned in noise. This isn’t governance; it’s propaganda posing as power, wielded not for justice, but for retribution. By those who wish to rule, not serve. To command, not lead.

Make America America Again MAAA Wilkinson wrote that the administration's position is shocking, "not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." The people must hold with the courts. Congress? abcnews.go.com/US/slamming-...

MAGA worked because it left the “who” and the “what” of "America" and "great" blank. But defining the terms reveals the truth: this isn't an America we recognize—or chose. It's being shaped by power, not the people. Want answers? Follow the money.

An infomercial needs a script—audience, questions, outcomes. But dissenting justices, town halls, foreign leaders, and sovereign nations don’t follow scripts. Reality isn’t a brand. And the Constitution isn’t a prop.
