" Year One: Rebuilding the Republic on 1776 Values ”
This is a thought experiment—not a policy plan, endorsement, or call to action.
It imagines what a 4‑year presidency guided by
Revolutionary‑War‑era values might look like in Year One.

Year One starts with one question:
Where does real power and influence live in this system—and who do they serve?
Assumption: many post‑1776 institutions have eroded U.S. values by centralizing power and foreign‑state influence.

First target: federal institutions.
DOJ, FBI, and CIA would be re‑chartered, not erased.
They’d narrow to core missions: true federal crimes, domestic counterintelligence, and foreign‑state intel—no domestic “influence” ops.

Well my recent polling and others offer some clues 🧵
Latino households spend about $4,900/year on gasoline vs. $3,600 for non-Latino households, about 36% more, and they are more likely to drive, carpool, have older cars, and be unable to work from home.
In my February polling with Binder Research for The Latino Working Class Project - the cost of gas was a major concern driving affordability as a top concern.

Canada's rapid industrialization following its genesis during the Second World War, was largely facilitated by the foreign direct investment of American capital.
The new long wave of economic activity in Canada, based on the industrialization of new technologies, will be similarly financed in large part by foreign direct investment — capital formation being a historical problem always facing Canada —
...but the U.S. is less likely now to be that source of capital. The expectation that Canada will be able to preserve the tariff free structures affecting its automotive industry under CUSMA in the negotiations this year is waning.
1/ Today's British newspaper headlines show a unified wall of outrage against Donald Trump, across the political spectrum. It's a sign of how a reported plan to punish the UK by 'reassessing the status of the Falkland Islands' has crossed a line that's redder than red. ⬇️ 
2/ Reuters reported yesterday that an internal Pentagon memo, said to have been written by Under Secretary of War [sic] for Policy Elbridge Colby, suggests reviewing US support for Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands.
3/ The Falkland Islands were invaded in 1982 by Argentina, which claims the islands for itself, and recovered by the UK in a ten-week war which cost about 900 lives. The islanders are a British Overseas Territory whose inhabitants have voted overwhelmingly to stay with the UK.

🧵The recent post by @USWPColby, which discusses a strategy for @NATO 3.0, mostly revisits familiar ideas. Most importantly, it retreads legacy assumptions about Germany's leading role in the US-European alliance without considering the new geopolitical realities in #Europe. 1/7
West Germany was America's key ally in @NATO because it was the key point of contact with the Warsaw Pact, had a strong economy, population resources, and critically, the irreducible national interest to resist Soviet expansionism at all costs. Today's Germany is different. 2/7
In contrast, today's #Germany is a Central European power, geographically protected from Russia by @NATO allies North, East and South. As shown in the post-Cold War decades, especially during the Merkel era, the Berlin Republic no longer sees the Russian threat as existential.3/7
1. There are very few libertarian/classical liberal hubs in academia.
2. Those that exist are under a barrage of Nancy MacLean-style attacks from the far left.
3. Pecknold has never experienced that, nor has he done anything to move the campus needle rightward in his own career

I speak on this from experience, btw. I was in the trenches fighting the AAUP, the Unkoch mvmt, MacLean etc. for a decade.
Also, I assembled the original version of the faculty ideology chart Pecknold shared above as part of my research on higher ed bias. I published it in my book w Jason Brennan, and in several subsequent journal articles and popular outlets.
Pecknold was AWOL from that fight and a complete nonentity in the scholarly debate around it.

Among my many battles with the academic left over the years:
- I was one of the first to expose statistical malfeasance in Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century," the bible of the Occupy Wall Street movement
- I caught Piketty's co-author Gabriel Zucman red-handed in manipulating tax statistics to advance false claims about the wealthy paying lower tax rates than the poor, and likely cost him a job at Harvard as a result
- I caught Harvard's Naomi Oreskes peddling false data claims political ideology in the national media to downplay the leftwing bias on the faculty
- I demolished Duke professor Nancy MacLean's "Democracy in Chains," the National Book Award-finalist that was the centerpiece of the academic left's crusade to purge free market economics from campus in the late 2010s.
- I was one of the first people to call attention to the failure of Neil Ferguson's Imperial College model during Covid, showing that its predictions about Sweden in the absence of lockdowns were not coming true
- I discovered a basic math error in one of the most heavily cited pro-mask modeling studies during Covid, completely undermining its claims. I published that revelation in the Wall Street Journal
- I discovered and broke the story about the now-infamous FOIA'd "devastating takedown" email order from Francis Collins to Anthony Fauci during Covid
- I dismantled the economic sections of the New York Times's 1619 Project, and broke the story about how the newspaper made ghost-edits to Nikole Hannah Jones's claims on the American Revolution by altering their text on their website
- I caught star left wing Princeton historian Kevin Kruse engaging in plagiarism in his dissertation and several of his other academic works
- I helped to expose Claudine Gay at Harvard for plagiarism, both as one of the only experts who was willing to go on record in the early days of the story after Chris Rufo and Aaron Sibarium simultaneously broke the news, and then by found more examples of it myself in Gay's other academic papers
And those are just a few of the major ones, going back over a decade.

"But his food is haram. His drink is haram. His clothing is haram.
How then could his du'a be answered?"
