The junta will already have their seat at the table

Dr. Amy Acton should scrap her promise to "appoint Republicans to her cabinet." Immediately.

Thanks to the resounding support of the Patriots Caucus, we are tasking Cleveland-based law firm Berkman Gordon Murray & DeVan with litigating the so-called telecommunications harassment charge from Lake County.

Any future media inquiries can be sent to my counsel, Bill Livingston.

However, the fight is far from over, because there will be no plea deal, no apology, and no surrender.

On the advice of a trusted advisor, I am consolidating future fundraising efforts for the Freedom Defense Fund through GoFundMe.

DONATE TO THE DEFENSE FUND

DONATE TO THE DEFENSE FUND

This will allow me to solicit funding from sources that don’t want their names associated with their patronage, for reasons known only to them and God.

If you have already donated, sharing the GoFundMe link on Social media goes a long way, too.

You can also support the struggle by subscribing to the award-winning newsletter for the full experience.

We’re also selling “NEVER SURRENDER” shirts through our friends at the Columbus-based Supporter Supply Company. A more Chinese design will be available in the coming days.

Any excess funds at the end of this struggle will be donated to the Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression (FIRE), America’s leading non-partisan advocates for the First Amendment.

Actually, we already have enough Republicans in state government

My biggest piece of unsolicited advice for Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton is to come out swinging against data centers.

All politics is local.

There is no bigger issue animating voters from Piqua to Grove City than the specter of some corporation colonizing their neighborhood in the dead of night with energy-sucking monstrosities that don’t pay taxes and only employ a handful of tech gremlins when operational.

Seven in 10 Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their neighborhood, and the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy is little more than a high-class prostitute for Big Tech and the hilarious pipe dream that is “the Silicon Heartland.”

Dr. Acton won’t be taking that advice anytime soon, though there’s still time to change course before the normies start caring about this election after Labor Day. That’s due to her support from the building trades, who are addicted to the paychecks of building these behemoths while also failing to deliver a sizable majority of their members to the ballot box.

Maybe her advisors will reach the Promised Land of finding a third rail on the issue, but I remain skeptical. Nobody wants data centers in their neighborhoods, no matter how many internet-connected devices they have at home.

But there is another nefarious centrist thought obviously polluting the higher echelons of her campaign advisory team: That she should appoint multiple Republicans to her gubernatorial cabinet.

As governor, I promise to have Republicans in my cabinet —because the best solutions come from working together.

I understand the concept that you go to war with the electorate that you have, not the one you want.

I also understand that Dr. Acton would be foolish to fire every competent bureaucrat in state government for the high crime of being a stone-cold Republican.

But she has nothing to gain and everything to lose by adding Republicans to her cabinet when she’s campaigning against all the problems their party has caused through unilateral rule over the past 15 years.

Then-Vice President Kamala Harris tried a similar gambit with the daughter of a blood-soaked Republican war criminal in 2024. Her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, explained that campaigning with Liz Cheney gave Republicans a “permission structure” to vote for a Democratic ticket.

I’m sure that, in the beautiful mind of the Democratic consulting class, campaigning with a Republican was a more viable electoral strategy than calling J.D. Vance a stilted, coach-fucking pervert.

But it’s not like Harris became the first female president in American history.
