The Intellectual Weight of Freedom
Reading, Thought Leadership, and the Responsibility of American Citizenship By Eric Lawrence Frazier, MBA I recently watched an interview with Governor Wes Moore and read his LinkedIn post recommending works by Black authors. What struck me was not merely the list of books, but what the list revealed. You can learn a great deal about […]
WE THE PEOPLE: The Accountability Series — Part 4: The Blueprint
A Monthly Accountability Calendar for the Executive Branch and Congressional Leadership The people are the employer. The employer has the right to demand answers. In Part 1, I framed the press as a proxy—not because journalists are flawless, but because the American people cannot physically occupy the halls of government and ask questions in real […]
WE THE PEOPLE: The Accountability Series — Part 3: The Broken Check
Why Congress Stopped Supervising the Executive—and Why the Press Room Became the Battlefield The people are the employer. The employer has the right to demand answers. Part 2 clarified the job description: the President executes laws, and Congress writes laws and controls spending. That division is not academic. It is the architecture of accountability. When […]
WE THE PEOPLE: A Blueprint for Accountability Part 2: The Job Description
What the President Can Do Without Congress—and What He Cannot The American people are the boss. That is not a metaphor. That is the design. “We the People” is the source of authority in the United States, which means elected officials and executive officers are employees of the public, paid with public money, empowered by […]

Greenland Tariff Threats
Every Sunday morning, like clockwork, I watch Face the Nation.

And I have to say this plainly: Margaret Brennan has grown into one of […]
When Power Goes Unchecked: Congress, Intelligence, and the High Cost of Executive Drift
Part Two: Paralysis, Power, and a Republic on Autopilot ⚖️ In Part One, I focused on what the first interview on Face the Nation revealed about America’s global overextension—how chasing oil, threatening allies, and misallocating military resources has left us late where moral leadership actually matters. Part Two is about something even more dangerous. It […]
When Journalism Still Matters: What Face the Nation Revealed About America’s Global Breakdown
I watch Face the Nation every Sunday morning. Not because I agree with every guest or every perspective, but because—remarkably—it has become one of the last places in American media where serious questions are still asked without ideological choreography. 📰 Margaret Brennan deserves credit for the way she conducts these interviews. She has stepped up […]
The Shutdown Is Over. The Damage Isn’t.
Why a 43-day, self-inflicted crisis leaves scars you won’t see in GDP. Update — November 13, 2025: The federal government reopened late last night when the President signed a stopgap funding package ending the record 43-day shutdown. Most agencies are funded only through January 30, 2026, which means another cliff is already on the calendar. Health-care fights—including whether […]
