“The Supremacy Clause is not a mandate for the total supremacy of federal law. It limits federal supremacy to those objects falling within the federal government's delegated powers but not one bit beyond them.
“Alexander Hamilton interpreted federal powers broadly, but in Federalist #33 he wrote that, although federal laws must be supreme, "it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such." The Supremacy Clause, he said, "expressly confines this supremacy to laws made pursuant to the Constitution."

What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
