The Constitution Party: Because Reality Wasn’t Originalist Enough

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you cross-bred a pocket Constitution, a time machine stuck on the year 1789, and a Facebook uncle who thinks the IRS is a front for lizard people, you don’t need to wonder anymore. The Constitution Party already exists. And boy, do they have thoughts —mostly about how the United States should return to an era before indoor plumbing, universal suffrage, and the concept of weekends. Let’s begin with their core belief: “strict constitutional originalism.” Sounds tidy, right? Except the Constitution Party’s version of originalism isn’t about what the Constitution actually says. No, that would be far too straightforward. Their version is more like the Constitution as remembered by someone who skimmed a YouTube summary of the Federalist Papers while half-asleep. Take the 14th Amendment . You know—the one that explains how citizenship works. The Constitution Party has decided that the text doesn’t say what it clearly says. According to them, i...

The U.S. Captures Venezuela’s President: Imperialism Unmasked

  On the early morning of January 3, 2026, the United States carried out an unprecedented military operation against Venezuela that culminated in the capture and removal of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from Venezuelan soil. President Donald Trump proudly announced that U.S. forces had executed a “large-scale strike” and that Maduro was now in U.S. custody, soon to face federal charges in New York.

Reuters +1 What Happened The assault began in the dead of night with aircraft and explosions over Caracas and other parts of Venezuela. U.S. special operations forces reportedly carried out a coordinated assault — dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve” — involving air strikes and elite ground units targeting Maduro’...

“Alligator Alcatraz” and the Business of Human Cruelty in Florida

  When Amnesty International releases a report using phrases like torture , enforced disappearances , and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment , that is not rhetorical inflation. That is an alarm bell, clanging hard enough to wake anyone who still believes the United States’ immigration detention system is merely “imperfect” rather than fundamentally brutal. Last week, Amnesty International published a damning investigation into conditions at Florida’s Everglades detention facility, grimly nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz.” The report calls on the State of Florida to shut the facility down entirely, prohibit state-run immigration detention, and redirect money away from cages and toward healthcare, housing, and disaster relief. In other words, it asks Florida to behave like a functioning society rather than a punishment laboratory. What Amnesty found should shock no one who has been paying attention, but it should still horrify anyone with a functioning conscience. A Prison Camp...
