It's the clause that prevents rogue judges from lording it over the president and erasing his Constitutional powers.
• "Article II of the Constitution provides: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” The oath derives from the plain text of Article II to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The only limits on that executive power concern treaties, principal office nominees, and “inferior Officers” whom Congress chooses “by law” to vest the appointment power in. At all times, he “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” The take care clause requires Presidential control of the executive branch and all its personnel, unless expressly removed “by law” by Congress for “inferior officers.” As the Supreme Court surmised: “The entire executive power belongs to the President alone.”

A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
