Eight years ago, I was putting together a GOP Principles Handbook. Why did I stop?
And do the principles from 2017 apply to the political world in 2025, or are there a whole new set of principles?
I'm guessing some of the old principles still apply. This week, for example, all GOPers were saying that it was a "mistake" that an Atlantic journalist was included on the Yemen warplans chat.

And I thought, wow. This guy is saying outrageous stuff like that, and there's an audience for it. So, I decided I'd listen to an episode of The Federalist podcast: April 17, 2025 -- Deportation, Due Process, and Deference to the American People (40 minutes) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deportation-due-process-and-deference-to-the/id983782306?i=1000703904873 In the 40-minute conversation, the host and guest discussed why due process wasn't required for illegal immigrants.
