"Progress ain't Reversible"

I've still been stuck in the book "A Land Remembered". Walking Texas and wondering what it looked like 50 years ago... 100 years ago... 200 years ago.

It's got its charm from an architectural perspective. Definitely a "Texas" feel in a good way - desert'ish with a city feel. The building are that beige / white cinematic pastel color.

I jogged though a neighborhood that had beautiful homes. New builds. Some under construction, which brought mack memories of the Ahmaud Arbery case. I kept my exploration to the side-walks.

Passed two neighboring houses - one had a Paxton lawn sign, the neighbor a Tallarico. So I immediately knew which neighbour was the reasonable one. lol

Saw people playing in the park - soccer baseball. Adults. Playing soccer baseball. And I was jealous. Soccer baseball was my favorite gym class sport. as a kid. It made me immediately nostalgic for a time that would never come back. Even if I could join a team, it wouldn't be the same in the context of life now. For everything there is a season...

We spent the day yesterday recording the "debates". Brandon Straka (the #WalkAway guy) is putting on a series of "debates" hoping to replicate the success of the first "Old MAGA vs. New MAGA" one.

We had a fun discussion about "conspiracies".

Them, at 21:00 - after an entire day in studio - the consensus was that we could not not discuss the Tyler Robinson issue, but he didn't want to do it in the same lighthearted way we discussed other conspiracies (and I think he was right). So we did a separate discussion that lasted about an hour. Buckley Carlson, Alex Stein, Harrison Smith, Gabrielle Cuccia, Brick Suit Guy, Paramount Tactical, me and a lawyer names David Pollack.

Brandon really is pouring his soul into this venture. Not sure what the end-goal is for him, but I hope he succeeds.

I get back to the hotel. Restaurants closed. City quiet. The gang was going out for dinner, but nothing good happens after 22:00 and it was past 23:00. lol

I click on Uber eats, order two burgers, and within 30 minutes a man is delivering them to the hotel.

This is the height of progress of our time and our wonder where it goes.

At some point, it's all automated. Not delivery guys delivering food at midnight, but drones or robots. Total "convenience". And what is the end-goal? What is the end cost?

Comparing this to living off the land and every day being a struggle for existence.

“If I could rip out the concrete and put back the woods, I would. But I can’t. Progress ain’t reversible. What’s done is done forever, and I’m sure as hell not proud of it. If any of you idiots had the brains of a jaybird you would stop right now too.” -Saul MacIvey, A Land Remembered.

Well, that was meandering. Going to do some pushups to get the blood flowing and get pumped for a heated debate. No holds barred against the "New MAGA".

More updates coming...

Booya.

Behind the scenes

Can’t record the actual debate, but this is what the setup looks like. It’s pretty amazing.

Behind the scenes…

This is one heck of an eclectic gang.

I can’t post on stage content. But I will post an update.

I could get used to Texas…

I’ve never had grilled avocado before. And I’ve never seen an omelette that looks like this. It’s even more delicious than it looks.

This event should be very interesting. Buckley Carlson, Harrison Smith, and others are going to be the other side of the panel.

I met Paramount tactical this morning. I always feel embarrassed when I don’t recognize people from their online content.

It’s also interesting meeting people who are involved in heated online fights with people I get along with.

For those who don’t know, Paramount is in deep in the title Robinson case, and deeply hated by the Candace side.

Today’s panel is going to be conspiracy theories, and I think it’s going to end up getting focused on Charlie Kirk/Tyler Robinson.

Tomorrow is old bag of versus new Maga. I’m going to be on Alex Jones at 1 o’clock today, local time. 2 o’clock Eastern.

Should be good.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Appearance on Richard Syrette

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

REPOST:

I’ve Been Quietly Working With Amos Miller. Today, We Can Finally Talk About What We’ve Been Building.

Some of you know pieces of this story already.

Most of you don't.

For the past several months, I have been working directly with Amos Miller, alongside @RobertBarnes, on something that started as an attempt to solve a very specific problem for one Amish farmer and has grown into something considerably larger.

And today, we're finally at the point where I can start talking publicly about it.

Many people in this community know Amos.

Some of you have bought food from his farm for years.

Others know his name because of the legal battles surrounding his farm, his private association, raw milk, traditional food, and the rather extraordinary amount of government attention one Amish farmer in Pennsylvania has managed to attract over the years.

My involvement started much more simply.

Robert Barnes contacted me because Amos needed help.

So I started talking to Amos.

Then I kept talking to Amos.

A lot.

And the more I learned about how his operation actually worked behind the scenes, the more obvious it became that simply building him another website wasn't going to fix the underlying problem.

Amos is Amish.

He isn't sitting ...

Holy crap apples, that was a long day

I finally just got back to my hotel room.

Ordered two shake shack double burgers. Hope that hits the spot.

The plan was to meet Robert at the hotel for dinner.

We got to the event at 2 o’clock. Got on set by 5:30.

We were supposed to be done easily by 9 o’clock. Robert came to the hotel to meet me for dinner. At 9 o’clock.

At the end of our conspiracy theory panel, which went on for about 3 1/2 hours, The decision was made to add a Charlie Kirk/Tyler Robinson separate segment. Which went for over an hour.

It was worthwhile, and I think it will be value added once published.

But I missed dinner with Robert.

Just got back now.

So late, that even Family Guy is no longer on the TV. And all I could get was Shake shack burgers for dinner.

They’re playing the hangover, which is fun enough mind Numbing Content.

Got to meet Buckley Carlson. I like him.

It was all fun. It just got a little bit long towards the end.

I managed to procure a cigar as a gift for Robert. I will see him in the morning.

The ...

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of July 31, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The well worn wooden desk, the papers stacked, the lamp lit office, the window’s view to the outer worls, the chalkboard for inspiration, the books stacked, the deep leather chair, and a bottle of bourbon for the work’s end. A perfect office. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Hubris is the arrogance that just scrapes the stars as it falls fast and furious to the demise of its exhibitor.”

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, July 29, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Venetian arched bridge above, the old walls of the city surround, the bricklaid road ahead, the dance of light against the alley, as the shadow makes us bigger than ourselves. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from self-destruction.” Zeena Shreck.
