In a recent conversation Stephen Miller, Trump's Homeland Security Advisor and a Duke graduate, said the following to CNN's Jake Tapper.
We live in a world in which you can talk all you want about international niceties and everything else, but we live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.
Which is to say that if the kid in Pennsylvania had been successful in taking out Trump, that would just be that. It was fine to kill Charlie Kirk. If some clever person could assassinate Miller or Russ Vought, it would just be a normal business day.
Or if the United States had a hankering for, say, Vancouver, we should just take it.
Or that it's just fine for some gun-loving ICE thug to take out a woman on the streets of Minneapolis because she is making ICE's job difficult.
Miller presumably had to pledge an oath of allegiance to the Constitution upon taking office. It is not apparent.
We are taking down our Christmas tree today. After a 2025 focused mostly on charitable giving it is time to fire back up for the 2026 elections.
