State of the Day

Greetings, Dear Reader,

Today, I’ll finally tackle a topic that’s been on my mind.

A BORING AND GAY DEBATE

Honestly, I’m not invested in Candace Owens or Nick Fuentes. My primary concern, aside from family and community, is combating the growth of radicalism in our country—something that numbers in the hundreds of thousands each year.

If you were to make a Venn Diagram of influential conservative figures, the idea that we need to dismantle and rethink the left’s indoctrination centers—like public schools, toxic university environments, and various online spaces—would fall squarely in the area of total agreement.

This perspective is shared by many, including Candace and Mike Pence. I wouldn’t be surprised if John Kasich thought the same way, perhaps even while he’s getting ready for MSNOW.

Did you know that Oregon leads the nation in “gender dysphoria” diagnoses? Teenagers there are 16 times more likely to receive a transgender diagnosis than those in Mississippi. Plus, minors there receive hormone treatments much more frequently than in other states. Clearly, this is a significant factor contributing to this issue.

Just a short distance from there, one confused individual took drastic actions against Charlie Kirk.

I’m in my office now, feeling the weight of leftism pressing against me. Charlie Kirk’s situation was a turning point. The right seems to be gaining momentum. Meanwhile, the left appears unhinged, almost self-destructive. It’s astounding, really. They’re doing harm in public, taking drastic measures, and making threats that would have been unthinkable a few decades back.

This is the moment to act decisively. I feel like I’m on the verge of something substantial.

Yet, then I hear this noise in the background.

It’s a group of overly online conservatives arguing about Israel and Iran, revisiting white nationalism and conspiracy theories. They’re asking me to weigh in.

“Shh,” I say, trying to focus. “I’m in the zone here.”

The endless back-and-forth about what is “Conservative” feels utterly pointless. It’s a distraction that leads nowhere. If elite media types decided what Conservatism is, Jeb! would have triumphed in 2016.

I’ve finally grasped the essence of Reagan’s eleventh commandment. Conservatives bickering over Israel right now might as well resolve it with a kiss. Debating figures like Nick Fuentes or Candace Owens only feels more trivial and, dare I say, a bit inauthentic.

As for Nolan’s take on Homer, well, even if there are critiques, does it really matter?

Are we all aware of what truly matters? We shouldn’t get too caught up in what Candace Owens has to say. Mute her already; it won’t kill you. Unless she somehow runs Harvard, her words are insignificant to me.

We’re like dogs that finally caught the car, except we’re at each other’s throats instead of focusing on the real threats.

There are far more pressing issues we should address.

What I appreciated about my time with Tucker is that there were no purity tests. Just be real and engaging—that’s all he wanted.

Did we see eye to eye on everything? No. But that didn’t matter. I wrote pieces he disagreed with, and guess what? I was still a senior editor the next day.

The debate over pro- and anti-war views within Conservatism actually has more common ground than differing opinions. War is a complex topic and often distracts us from pressing domestic issues.

We aren’t gearing up for an all-out attack on China; that’s not what’s going down. It’s not as dire as some would make it seem. I identify with elements from both sides. It can be useful to eliminate bad actors, but the quest for nation-building? No, that’s a cumbersome debate.

We all should prioritize our domestic challenges, particularly the failures in our education system. It stems from poor educational practices. Socialism isn’t gaining traction among the working class; it’s appealing to educated individuals laden with student debt who expect high-paying government jobs.

Foreign influences are another concern, right alongside education. We’ve made some troubling concessions, claiming that the West is oppressive—effectively disregarding accountability.

I might have missed what Candace just said. Is someone actually alleging that Netanyahu took out Lindsey Graham? Seriously?

Do I have any interest in what people send her? You can probably guess.
