In the back seat of a Toyota Sienna headed north through the winding roads of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I rapidly bought an internet domain name and a WordPress subscription. I then furiously began constructing a website on my iPhone 12 Mini—a task not for the faint of heart. On this vacation with my family on the North Carolina coast in June 2023, I had the idea to start a publication for young conservatives. I wanted to build a digital platform where my generation could counter the philosophy, theology, and anthropology of the Left. Perhaps publishing articles is not the best way to get clicks and eyeballs in the age of scrolling and tapping, yet I wanted to create an outlet where young conservatives could hone their skills as writers and editors. In starting this project, I wanted to find out if there are other young conservatives who share my vision of cultural renewal and commitment to the written word. I found out that there are. In the 13 months since I cobbled together a website in the backseat of that Toyota minivan, nearly 30 young conservatives from 15 colleges across the nation have turned my idea into reality. New Guard Press, launched last October, now publishes multiple articles a week on cultural and political topics ranging from C.S. Lewis’ fiction to the border crisis to conservative education reforms. Our goal is not to go viral, nor is it to “own the libs.” We don’t want to react to the day-to-day news cycle or simply complain about the latest instance of cultural insanity. Our goal is to offer a positive vision for the future of conservative culture. We strive for patient reflection, thoughtful deliberation, and beautiful writing.  The name New Guard Press stems from the idea that my generation, Gen Z, is the “new guard” of the traditions that gave rise to the American Founding. We are the latest inheritors of the intellectual, religious, and cultural traditions that flow through Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia. As inheritors, we must decide what we will do with our inheritance. New Guard Press is a hub for thoughtful young conservatives who cherish those traditions and believe them to be the key to restoring a healthy, flourishing, and well-ordered society. Young conservatives interested in getting involved may visit the New Guard Press website, learn about the submission process, and sign up for our newsletter. I believe that New Guard Press will draw attention as a much-needed voice of calm confidence in the traditions that gave rise to the American experiment. But as we attempt to expand our readership and look toward adding such elements as podcasting and video, our aim is not to anxiously fight tooth and nail for every last click, like, and eyeball. Rather, our goal is to stand confidently on what we have received from our forefathers and use it to articulate a path forward.  The post Why I Started a Digital Platform for Young Conservatives to Take on the Left appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she was “fired up” to endorse Kamala Harris for president. “Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president,” a press release from the Gretchen Whitmer Fight Like H*** PAC read. Whitmer gave her endorsement to Harris in unison with “fellow governors in midwestern states” – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers. “Vice President Harris has my full support,” the press release read. “Let’s win this,” Whitmer said. Let's win this, @KamalaHarris. pic.twitter.com/HNFFskANM5 — Gretchen Whitmer (@gretchenwhitmer) July 22, 2024 The Hill reports: Whitmer was viewed as one of Harris’s most viable rivals for the nomination before President Biden announced his decision Sunday not to seek a second term. Another Democratic star, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), said last week that he would not challenge Harris for the nomination if Biden dropped out of the race. Both Whitmer and Newsom had communicated to Democratic leaders before Biden announced his decision that they would not be interested in serving as Harris’s running mate, according to a source familiar with internal party conversations. “Today, not only am I fired up to endorse @KamalaHarris for President of the United States, I’m proud to serve as a co-chair of her campaign. In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a candidate they can count on to lower their costs, protect their freedoms, and build an economy that works for working people. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe, and drove our economy into the ground. We cannot let him anywhere near the White House. Vice President Harris, you have my full support. Let’s win this,” Whitmer said Monday.

Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States on Monday and seemingly took herself out of potential consideration to be the Democrat’s running mate. Asked Monday morning if she was interested in being vice president, Whitmer said: “I am not leaving Michigan. I am proud to be the governor of Michigan. I have been consistent. I know everyone is always suspicious and asking this question over and over again … I am not going anywhere.” Whitmer announced her support for Harris a day after Democratic President Joe Biden revealed that he was dropping his reelection bid, 107 days before the general election on Nov. 5. Whitmer, whom many Democrats see as a potential future candidate for president, had been a co-chairwoman of Biden’s campaign and had repeatedly touted her belief in the 81-year-old Biden as others called for him to get out of the race.

Remember when Q told us there would come a time when they wouldn’t be able to walk down the streets? I think we’re very close to arriving at those days. Because this is exactly how I envisioned that looking…. A man named Joseph Phillip Daniel was waiting for Secret Service Director Cheatle as she arrived to testify at Congress and as she passed by he screamed out, “You failed Cheatle in assassinating Trump! You failed! Satan isn’t all powerful. You’re on the wrong side and reap what you sow. God is good. God is in control, Cheatle!” Cheatle then proceeded to the Congressional hearing where she refused to answer any important questions.

What a war we are in. — Joseph Phillip Daniel (@JosephPDaniel1) July 22, 2024 Do you agree? Why hasn’t she been fired yet? Maybe because she followed her orders perfectly? Hmmm……
