I’m still waiting for the powers at be in Michigan to present a positive vision for family flourishing.
It’s time we look FORWARD and not backwards.
I travel around and listen to politicians talk about budget spreadsheets, right to work and 3rd grade reading. Tired talking points. Pretty uninspiring stuff.
BREAKING: 150-year-old St. James Catholic Church in Grand Rapids set for demolition as $55 million development plan by investment firm Beckett Industries.
The developer plans to construct an apartment complex of roughly 240 units on the site of the historic parish, which closed in 2022.
Do we know who we are?
Do we know what language we will use to communicate our ideas?

The Third Force won.
These are voters who treat American national interest as the primary test, they do not subscibe to party loyalty or ideological purity. This is not a formal party, and they do not sit permanently on the left or right.
Their consistent demand is that the United States be governed for the practical benefit of its own citizens: secure borders, lower living costs, competence in basic government, and an end to open-ended foreign commitments that deliver little in return. Cultural signaling, donor priorities, foreign-policy maximalism, or institutional status, is all secondary.
2024 / this group moved toward Trump because he was the available vehicle offering closed borders, cheaper energy and goods, and a break from the prior administration’s approach.
2026 / the same group moved against Republicans once higher prices and the Iran war failed that test.
This force decides elections. It will continue to shift between parties whenever one side demonstrably delivers (or fails to deliver) on those core material and security outcomes.

The right loves to use AI for creativity, but they will never win with it.
The right must invest in the creative class to win.
