Discord: Why Isn’t It Being Scrutinized? Discord: Why Isn’t It Being Scrutinized? Published: March 29, 2025 Everyone keeps talking about Telegram—how it’s a hub for foreign spam networks, romance fraud, and all kinds of cybercrime. But here’s the real question: Where are they getting this info from? What’s the source? Who’s leading these investigations and why does it feel like they're laser-focused on Telegram while Discord flies under the radar? Telegram is painted like the evolution of underground comms: think Pidgin, ICQ, Skype. Discord? Nah. It gets a free pass as a "video game chat platform." But that’s outdated and dangerously naive. Discord is just as capable, just as encrypted, and it’s saturated with niche communities that slip through traditional content monitoring systems. Discord users are sharp. They know how to spoof identities and compartmentalize discussions. They’re also deeply aware of mainstream pla...

Seven-Day Constitutional Waiting Period for Firearm Sales Seven-Day Constitutional Waiting Period for Firearm Sales Drafted by Killian Yates — March 29, 2025 Download/View on Google Drive What This Policy Actually Does This proposed constitutional measure doesn't “take guns”—it protects the right to bear them with the same forethought and respect we give to adopting a child, buying a car, or signing a mortgage. By ensuring a seven-day cooling-off period between purchase and transfer, we reduce impulsive acts while respecting ownership rights. The goal is **not** to delay responsible gun ownership, but to insert a constitutional, non-partisan pause that allows background checks to complete, mental health crises to stabilize, and straw purchases to be identified. Constitutional rights carry immense power—and immense responsibility. This proposal honors both. When This Could Have Saved Lives Pa...

Judicial Safeguard & Deliberative Integrity Amendment Judicial Safeguard & Deliberative Integrity Amendment Drafted by Killian Yates — March 29, 2025 Download/View on Google Drive Why This Amendment Matters Time and time again, we’ve watched rushed bills become law without the public—or even lawmakers—understanding what was in them. From the 2001 PATRIOT Act, passed just 45 days after 9/11, to the 2020 CARES Act, rushed through during COVID panic, legislation has become a weapon of urgency rather than a tool of liberty. The Founders never intended for our legal system to operate like a pressure cooker. The Judicial Safeguard and Deliberative Integrity Amendment creates a check not only on unconstitutional content but also on unconstitutional procedure. It ensures that key stakeholders—state-level executives, sheriffs, and justices—can trigger a formal review *before* potentially destructive laws are enforce...

Integrating Gender Equity into AI Communication Tools Integrating Gender Equity into AI Communication Tools Mansplaining in Human and AI Contexts Defining Mansplaining Mansplaining refers to a form of patronizing explanation where a man condescendingly explains something to a woman under the assumption she is uninformed, often disregarding her actual knowledge or experience. In everyday human interactions, mansplaining is a gendered microaggression – for example, a man might "well, actually" a woman's correct statement, or explain her own expertise to her in a belittling tone. This behavior is rooted in power imbalance and stereotypes that presume women are less authoritative. Mansplaining exemplifies how women's voices can be undermined by unnecessary correction or explanation. AI as an "Automated Mansplainer" Surprisingly, AI systems can mirror the mansplaining phenomenon if they inherit bias...

Let Them Stand Beside Us: A Case for Spousal Involvement in Executive Office Let Them Stand Beside Us: A Case for Spousal Involvement in Executive Office Published: March 29, 2025 In today’s political discourse, there's a recurring frustration that surfaces whenever a spouse of an elected official steps into the spotlight or assumes any visible role within their partner’s administration. That frustration, while understandable to some degree—especially from constituents who didn’t cast their vote for that spouse—must be met with a deeper understanding of the times we’re in and the responsibilities we expect our leaders to carry. Unusual Times Demand Unusual Commitment Let’s be honest: we are not living in typical times, and we cannot afford to demand a typical work-life balance from our top decision-makers . Whether it’s the Governor of Oregon, the Secretary of Defense, or the President of the United States, these roles demand not just pre...

Reclaiming the 105,000 Hours: A New Vision for American Education Reclaiming the 105,000 Hours: A New Vision for American Education Posted by Killian Yates, Bald Eagle Party If our students are spending 105,000 hours in the public education system from kindergarten through 12th grade, then why aren't they leaving as experts in anything? That's roughly ten 10,000-hour mastery sessions—the same amount of time it takes to become world-class in a single discipline. This is not a system flaw. It's an American emergency. One that demands restructuring, not just reform. I. Federal Responsibility: Innovation, Not Indoctrination The federal government should never be in the business of writing lesson plans or setting classroom agendas. That belongs to parents, teachers, and communities. But what the federal government must do is remain at the cutting edge of innovation and ensure that what our teachers need to teach is being delivered in th...
