For some time now, many have suggested that we are living in a post-constitutional America. With good intention, I have rejected that notion similar to rejecting the “new-normal” many espoused after the COVID plandemic. I refused to accept the new system that others wanted me to live in – a new set of rules and guidelines.
But indeed, despite my best efforts, the rules of the game have changed. And I cannot pretend otherwise.
The left has succeeded in its long march through the institutions. They own them. And now, they have weaponized our government and institutions against the American people.
The conviction of President Trump in a New York State court, for me, proves that end, not to mention the accompanied celebration and indifference of so many fellow Americans. They will work to put him in jail and continue the efforts to remove a man from the ballot that is most likely the projected winner of an upcoming election.
I cannot say that at this point I know where to go from here. But certainly, the status quo business as usual approach in the political arena is not going to cut it.

A sentiment we agree with from Russ Vought, Executive Director of the Center for Renewing America
TO THE OFFICERS OF THE FIRST BRIGADE OF THE THIRD DIVISION OF THE MILITIA OF MASSACHUSETTS, 11 October, 1798
While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance, and displays [229] in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
