We need a Convention of States because Washington has proven, repeatedly, that it will not meaningfully restrain itself. This isn’t really a Republican vs. Democrat issue. It’s a question of incentives. We expect members of Congress to voluntarily limit their own power, limit how long they can hold that power, and limit how much money they can spend. Why would they? Congress is not going to impose meaningful term limits on itself. Congress is not going to force itself to balance the budget. Congress is not going to willingly surrender powers that Washington has accumulated over generations. We’ve been waiting for the federal government to fix the federal government. That’s the problem. The Founders anticipated that possibility. Article V gives the states a constitutional mechanism to propose amendments when Congress refuses to act. It requires applications from 34 states to trigger a convention for proposing amendments, and any proposed amendment still requires ratification by 38 states. That is an extraordinarily high bar. And it should be. Changing the Constitution should require overwhelming agreement. But consider what could finally be put before the states: Term limits for Congress. A balanced-budget requirement with carefully defined emergency provisions. Real limits on federal spending and debt. Limits on the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. Potential restraints on an unelected administrative bureaucracy that has grown far beyond anything the Founders could have imagined. None of this requires Americans to agree on every political issue. You can be conservative, liberal, libertarian, independent, or politically homeless and still recognize a basic truth: No institution should be expected to permanently police its own power. Elections matter, but elections alone haven't solved the structural problem. We replace politicians while leaving the same incentives, the same debt machine, the same permanent bureaucracy, and the same concentration of power in place. Article V provides another constitutional check. Not revolution. Not abandoning the Constitution. Using the Constitution. The states created the federal government. The states were also given a constitutional mechanism to restrain it when Washington becomes unwilling to restrain itself. A Convention of States requires 34 states. Ratification requires 38. We're closer than many Americans realize - 20 states are on board already The question now is whether we keep asking Washington to voluntarily give up power... or whether the states finally use the constitutional authority they were given to impose limits Washington will never impose on itself.

Putin wants a summit with Trump and Xi. Sniffy the clown not invited. “Stand with Ukraine.” Means stand with Sniffy the clown forever.

Early voting opens up today in Texas. Get out there and vote Paxton, Texans.

We do not owe Ukraine a damn thing.

Zelenskyy is a magnet for idiots

These people are gross and unhinged.

This is the left. Seems like a nice guy. x.com/MulcareAndy/status/211…

We'd be besties

Feel like pissing off some Ukraine supporting retards today. Should be fun. They're easy to bait and troll. Simple-minded folks with zero critical thinking abilities - if they even know what that is.

Sooner or later regular people, myself included, are going to have to stop worrying about getting arrested. The Islamist/Marxist side already doesn’t. They push, shut people up, and break the rules while most of us are still calculating the risk. That difference doesn’t last forever.

I love how after every school incident involving a gun, the Democrats come to Social Media to opine for more gun laws. Oregon is a DEMOCRAT state. Gun Free Zones are a DEMOCRAT thing. Oregon has pretty strict gun laws. The shooter obviously doesn't care about laws because Murder is against the damn law. Just so stupid.

For the record, because CJ got a bar complaint, we have referred him to our HR rep, Alicia. @GFALAWRYAN is working on a stern talking to. CJ has received one demerit. Let's put it this way. He does not want to receive three of those. Three demerits, and he'll receive a citation. Five citations, and CJ is looking at a violation. Four of those, and he'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and he's looking at a written warning. Two of those, that will land him in a world of hurt, in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by Ryan, and placed on the desk of his immediate superior. Which would be CJ. We take these complaints seriously.

Zelensky needs to go.

Ukrainian recruitment video?

Brewers sweep the Dodgers and now we just need the Rays to knock off the Indians

It's obvious at this point. Putin isn't a good guy by any means, but Zelenskyy is just as bad if not worse
