My friends, there’s a question I’ve been thinking about ever since I shared a simple parody video about Minneapolis with a family member who lives close to the city. His response was short, honest, and heavy with meaning: “Funny — but what do we do about it?”
That question isn’t unique to Minneapolis. It’s being asked quietly in cities, suburbs, and communities all across this country. What do reasonable, law-abiding people do when chaos is normalized, when lawlessness is excused or even encouraged, and when silence is rewarded more than courage?
The truth is uncomfortable, but necessary: chaos depends on demoralization. It thrives when good people isolate, disengage, and convince themselves that nothing they do will matter. And once that mindset takes hold, lawlessness doesn’t need a majority — it only needs the absence of resistance.
What we’re witnessing right now is not simply a political disagreement. It’s a moral breakdown. Lawlessness is not compassion. It is not reform. It is not justice. It is the dismantling of the very structure that allows communities, families, and freedom to exist.
The left understands something very well: intimidation works. Noise works. Making people feel alone works. When churches go silent, when citizens withdraw, when business owners look the other way, the void is filled — and it is never filled by order.
But history tells us something else as well. You do not need a majority to change the course of a nation. You need a committed minority with clarity, discipline, and courage. That was true in 1776. And it’s true now.
Restoring law and order doesn’t start with elections — though elections matter. It starts with mindset. It starts with refusing to accept chaos as inevitable. It starts with community, with people finding one another and standing together, brick by brick, step by step, to stop the madness.
Chaos doesn’t require a majority — it only requires good people to retreat.
This is not fast work. This is not glamorous work. And it absolutely comes with a cost. You will be misunderstood. You will be disliked. Relationships will strain. But the alternative is surrender — and that is simply not an option for us.
We are in a long fight. A generational fight. A fight that will last the rest of our lives. Accept that. Embrace it.
Politics is no longer something we get to treat as a hobby or a phase. It is part of the responsibility of citizenship in a fallen world where power is worshiped and authority is abused or ignored.
That doesn’t mean despair. In fact, it means resolve. It means hope rooted in reality. It means understanding that order is worth defending, truth is worth speaking, and courage is contagious.
The question is no longer what do we do about it? The question is whether we’re willing to do it — together.
Conservative, not bitter.

Quote of the Day
A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved.
A Word from One of Our Partners
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.

Todd Talk: Radical Nurse Calls for Violence Against ICE—License Must Go
My friends, another radical nurse has been on social media giving tips on how people can harm ICE agents. She suggested women use Tinder to date them and spike their drinks to make them sick. She encouraged targeting the people who prepare their food.
In another video, she suggested spraying poison ivy water in their faces and on their hands. She even told medical providers in her deranged audience to grab syringes filled with a paralytic anesthetic that can temporarily paralyze someone. She told people to “stay toxic.”
She’s been fired from her job at VCU Health. She should be. But that’s not enough. Her nursing license should be permanently revoked.
This isn’t about politics. A healthcare professional using medical knowledge to harm people is wholly unfit to serve. Good riddance.
Lawlessness Is a Moral Failure, Not a Policy Debate
My friends, we need to stop pretending this is just another policy disagreement.
When a culture excuses lawlessness, it isn’t debating reform. It’s abandoning morality and order.
Chaos is not compassion. Disorder is not justice. And breaking the law in the name of a cause does not make that cause righteous.
The left wants you to believe that disruption is bravery and that rules only exist to oppress. But the law hasn’t vanished — it’s just become weaponized. And once rules are enforced based on ideology instead of moral clarity, freedom is on life support.
The rule of law is not cruelty. It is protection for families, businesses, neighborhoods, and the vulnerable.
Remove it, and something will fill the void. And that something is not kindness. It is not justice. It is self-serving power.
Lawlessness is ultimately a spiritual problem. It is evil masquerading as virtue. Once self-righteous, lawless lunatics begin declaring they are on the “right side of history,” almost anything becomes permissible.
Empathy without truth becomes permission. Grace without accountability becomes decay. Tolerance without standards becomes surrender.
You can debate policy all day long. I welcome it. That’s part of citizenship.
But when lawlessness is praised, excused, or defended, we are no longer talking about politics.
We are talking about whether a society chooses order or collapse. And that choice is being made right now.
