Updated 11/22/24 1:27pm EST

Objective:  

To return the Washington NFL team’s name to “Redskins” while maintaining the iconic Indian Head logo, in partnership with Native American communities, and building on the historical significance of the logo, which was created with input from Native American activists, including Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a former Blackfeet Nation leader and friend of Jim Thorpe. The rebrand will honor the logo's origins while fostering positive partnerships, financial support, and cultural tributes.

1. Respecting the Legacy of the Indian Head Logo

Historical Context: The Indian Head logo was originally designed by Walter "Blackie" Wetzel, a Native American activist and former president of the National Congress of American Indians, as a respectful tribute to a real chief. The logo was meant to celebrate Native American identity and was presented to then owner Jack Kent Cooke and eventually to Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Stadium to represent the pride of the team and Native communities.
  
Maintaining the Logo’s Legacy: The logo, which has historical significance, will remain central to the team’s identity. This ensures that the original intent of honoring Native American leaders and their heritage is respected, while the team continues to build on its legacy. Educational content on the logo’s origins will be integrated into the team’s website, social media, and gameday materials to ensure fans understand the importance and respect behind the symbol.

2. Partnership with Native American Tribes and Organizations

Cultural Oversight Committee: Establish a “Cultural Oversight Committee” composed of tribal leaders, historians, and Native American activists who will work with the team to ensure that the logo and the use of the “Redskins” name are respectful and empowering. This committee will ensure the brand reflects positive, culturally appropriate values.
  
Formal Tributes and Acknowledgments: Similar to the relationship between Florida State University and the Seminole Tribe, the team will enter into formal partnerships with specific tribes, ensuring the name and logo are used with full tribal consent. Tribes, in exchange, will have opportunities to promote cultural heritage during games and events.

3. Financial Contributions and Investment in Native American Communities

Revenue Sharing and Donations: A portion of the team’s profits from merchandise, ticket sales, and media rights using the “Redskins” name and Indian Head logo will be directed to support Native American communities. This could involve funding healthcare, education, and infrastructure improvements on reservations.
  
Team Foundation for Native American Initiatives: Establish the “Redskins Foundation for Native American Initiatives,” which will support programs in tribal communities. This could include economic development projects, scholarships, healthcare services, and cultural preservation initiatives.

Annual Native American Charity Game: Introduce an annual “Heritage Game” where a portion of ticket sales and all proceeds from a special line of merchandise go directly to Native American causes. The event will include pregame ceremonies featuring tribal leaders and cultural performances.

4. Cultural Tributes and GameDay Honors

Pre-Game Ceremonies: Before each home game, the team will host a ceremonial event, led by Native American leaders, to honor the tribes, elders, and warriors of the past. This could include blessings, traditional music, or cultural performances.
  
In-Game Recognition: Native American veterans, leaders, and athletes will be recognized throughout the season during games. This ensures that Native American contributions to the country, sports, and the military are highlighted in a positive light.

Team Captains and Symbolic Representation: Similar to Florida State's Osceola, the Washington team could introduce a symbolic figure, such as a tribal elder or representative, to lead the team out onto the field for ceremonial occasions.

5. Educational Initiatives and Public Awareness

Educating the Public: A comprehensive media and educational campaign will inform the public about the origins of the Indian Head logo and its connection to a real chief. By working closely with Native American leaders, the team will create content that highlights the respectful and intentional way the logo was created, including Walter Wetzel’s influence and his relationship with Jim Thorpe.
  
Heritage Exhibits at the Stadium: Create exhibits in the stadium that explore Native American history, culture, and the significance of the logo. The exhibit could feature items from the original presentation to RFK, Native American artifacts, and tributes to prominent Native American athletes, including Jim Thorpe, who was one of the greatest American athletes of all time.

School and Youth Outreach: Launch outreach programs in local schools that educate young fans about Native American history, culture, and the team's partnership with indigenous communities. The team could host events where Native American leaders visit schools to share their stories, ensuring future generations are aware of the importance of respecting the history behind the team’s name and logo.

6. Merchandising and Brand Representation

Authentic Merchandise Collaboration: Collaborate with Native American artists and designers to create exclusive merchandise, which will feature traditional designs and symbols integrated into the team’s logo and branding. A percentage of sales from this merchandise will go directly to supporting tribal communities.

Culturally-Inspired Uniforms: In addition to the main team uniforms, the Washington NFL team could introduce alternate uniforms or patches that incorporate designs inspired by Native American culture, created in consultation with the Cultural Oversight Committee. These could be worn during special games or events honoring Native American heritage.

 7. LongTerm Vision and Sustainability

Sustained Partnerships: Ensure that partnerships with Native American tribes are longterm, not merely symbolic. The team will commit to sustained financial support, continuous engagement with Native leaders, and an evolving relationship that adapts to the needs and desires of tribal communities over time.
  
Community Engagement: Host regular forums and town hall meetings where Native American leaders and community members can discuss the team's branding and how it can further support indigenous communities. These open discussions will ensure the team's relationship with Native American groups remains transparent, evolving, and beneficial.

Conclusion:

This proposal presents a vision for the Washington NFL team to return to the “Redskins” name while preserving the Indian Head logo, a symbol of pride created by Native American leaders. The plan ensures that the rebranding is deeply respectful, rooted in history, and beneficial to Native American communities through financial contributions, cultural tributes, and educational initiatives. By partnering with Native American tribes and honoring the legacy of figures like Jim Thorpe and Walter Wetzel, the team can create a positive and sustainable relationship that both honors and empowers Native American cultures.

Odds of Love: A Probability Study Proving Jasmine Crockett’s Race Baiting Ignores the Real Challenges of Finding a Conservative Black Match

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Representative Jasmine Crockett’s recent criticism of Representative Byron Donalds for marrying a white woman highlights a regressive mindset steeped in ignorance and racial bias, casting doubt on her ability to engage with the diverse realities of American life.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1906302926571618409

By implying that Donalds has been “whitewashed” through his interracial marriage, Crockett clings to outdated stereotypes that dictate racial loyalty over personal agency, exposing her own hypocrisy in advocating for equality while policing others’ private choices. This narrow perspective stands in stark contrast to the evolving dynamics of relationships across racial lines, as evidenced by a probabilistic analysis of partner selection among conservative Black individuals. To illustrate the complexity of such dynamics, consider the following study estimating the likelihood of a conservative Black man finding and marrying a conservative Black woman who aligns with his values—a scenario Crockett might deem more “acceptable,” yet one fraught with its own...

R.C. SPROUL AND THE MYTH OF DEATHBED DOUBT

There is no credible evidence or trustworthy testimony suggesting that Dr. R.C. Sproul had doubts about his faith or salvation on his deathbed. In fact, everything known about his life, teaching, and final days points to a man who finished the race with steadfast confidence in Christ.

R.C. Sproul was deeply committed to the doctrines of grace and the sovereignty of God. He taught for decades that assurance of salvation rests not in our feelings, but in the finished work of Christ. This is a truth rooted in Scripture. As he often quoted from Romans 8:38–39, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life… shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” That conviction wasn’t theoretical for him, it was lived.

Chris Larson, the president and CEO of Ligonier Ministries, personally testified that Sproul died with unwavering faith in the Lord. He reported that Sproul was singing hymns, including "I’ll Walk With God," and listening to ...

SUPERMAN's (2025) SICK ORIGIN - SPOILERS

*SPOILERS WARING***

Superman 2025 unveils a radically altered origin: Superman’s Kryptonian parents secretly planned for him to conquer Earth and reproduce with numerous women, deeming humanity inferior. This is a fact revealed only when Lex Luthor exposes a hidden message. This isn’t merely a narrative twist; it reflects an unsettling cultural current.

the Conservative TAKE

Post-Americanism seeks the destruction of America as founded, striving to supplant her with a Marxist regime crafted in its own image. In Superman 2025, a cherished symbol of freedom and justice is reimagined as a tool of domination. This is a mirroring of broader cultural efforts meant to tear down core American values, rewrite history, and invert our understanding of heroism. It’s a quiet but unmistakable subversion of the ideals that have long defined American identity. We see the same pattern in the removal of statues, the rewriting of songs, the diminishing of patriotism, and ...

Why the Electoral Map Is Quietly Tilting Toward MAGA

While many are fixated on Epstein, Elon, and endless "influencer" drama, an important transformation is quietly reshaping America. Beneath the noise, a massive political realignment is underway—one that spells long-term disaster for the Democrat Party. Voter rolls are shifting red, blue states are bleeding residents, and the electoral map is being redrawn before our eyes.

According to political analyst and commentator Dr. Steve Turley, the United States is experiencing the largest realignment in voter registration and population trends since the New Deal, and virtually no legacy media outlet is covering it. But the data is clear: Democrats are bleeding voters, losing population, and forfeiting electoral power across the board. This, all while Republican strongholds surge.

The Voter Registration Landslide

Dr. Turley analyzed voter registration data from 30 states, totaling over 200 million potential voters. The trend? Unmistakable:

  • Pennsylvania: +5,000 Republicans / –3,000 Democrats → 8,000 net swing in just one month

  • North Carolina: +3,000 R / –5,000 D

  • Nevada: +1,000 R / –2,000 D

  • New Mexico & New Jersey: Both flipped 2,000-vote swings toward the GOP

  • Florida: A stunning +20,000 Republicans and –10,000 Democrats—a 30,000 swing in one month

Red states are getting redder. Purple states are turning red. And even historically blue states like New Mexico, New Jersey, and Maine are sliding right.

The Great Migration: Demographics Are Destiny

Why is this happening? Policy failure. High taxes, rising crime, collapsing cities, and housing unaffordability are driving families out of deep-blue states and into red ones.

Dr. Turley refers to these migrants as "leugees", left-leaning urban escapees whose political allegiances often shift right as they settle in more prosperous, law-abiding, lower-tax red states. And the effect is measurable.

If current migration continues through the 2030 census, projections show:

  • Texas and Florida gain 4 electoral votes each

  • California loses 4, New York loses 2

  • Result: A 20-vote swing in the Electoral College even before a single vote is cast

A Republican Electoral Lock?

Dr. Turley breaks it down: if Trump’s 2024 win netted him 312 electoral votes, under the projected 2030 map, that number rises to 332—without flipping a single new state. Meanwhile, Biden’s 306-vote win in 2020 would shrink to just 280.

Worse for Democrats, the current voter registration collapse means they likely won’t even win the same states. Turley predicts a 2028 map where:

  • Pennsylvania leans Republican

  • Florida and Texas are solid red

  • North Carolina and Georgia become likely GOP wins

  • New swing states emerge: Virginia, New Jersey, New Mexico, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Maine

In other words, the Blue Wall strategy is no longer viable. Even if Democrats sweep Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, they still fall short of 270 electoral votes.

The Doom Loop: Blue States' Collapse Is Self-Inflicted

Turley outlines what he calls an electoral doom loop for Democrats:

  1. Bad policies make blue states unaffordable and unsafe

  2. Residents flee to red states

  3. Blue states lose population and electoral votes

  4. Democrats struggle to win national elections

  5. They double down on the same failed policies

  6. The cycle repeats

According to U.S. Census projections, the South will have 164 House seats by 2030, the most in American history. That shift alone makes the traditional Democrat path to 270 nearly impossible.

A Political Earthquake No One’s Reporting

While corporate media stays silent, this realignment is redrawing the political map before our eyes. As Dr. Turley puts it: “This is the biggest political story that nobody's talking about.” And he's right.

If the data holds, we’re witnessing the beginning of a long-term populist-nationalist majority, one that transcends cycles and becomes structural. The electoral playing field is tilting. The red wave is not a headline; it’s a demographic inevitability.

A Political Earthquake No One’s Reporting

As distractions dominate the headlines, the real story is happening quietly. However, its consequences will be anything but subtle. The data is undeniable: America is undergoing a structural political realignment, and the direction is unmistakably red. Democrats are not just losing votes. They’re losing states, districts, and entire regions. Their policies have made blue states unlivable, prompting a mass migration that’s tipping the scales of power.

This is not about one election cycle. This is about a decade-long shift that is rewriting the rules of American politics. If the trends hold, the GOP is headed toward an electoral stronghold unseen in modern history. As Dr. Turley makes clear, we’re not watching a wave; we're watching a permanent shift. And those who ignore it will be the last to understand why they lost.

Statement on Targeted Worker Policy and Economic Stability

This is not amnesty. No citizenship, permanent residency, or green cards are being offered. The discussion centers on a narrow, employer-driven framework for certain undocumented workers in agriculture, hospitality, and related sectors to remain temporarily under legal supervision.

The goal is simple: allow employers (particularly in industries vital to the economy) to vouch for specific individuals who have worked consistently, avoided criminal activity, and filled roles that are increasingly difficult to staff. These workers would be allowed to stay and pay taxes, but would not be eligible for citizenship or public benefits.

Mass removal of millions of workers (many of whom are concentrated in food production and service industries) would risk widespread economic disruption. Labor shortages are already pressing. Abrupt action without planning would strain supply chains, drive up prices, and hit American businesses hard.

People need to take a step back and allow President Trump and the Republican leadership to do their jobs. The left wants nothing more than to fracture the MAGA coalition. They’ve used this playbook before, twisting policy details to divide the movement and weaken its resolve. Don’t fall for it. Stay focused, stay united, and stay on mission.

This is not a departure from America First principles. It is a strategic, constitutional response to a complex problem. Securing the border, enforcing the law, and protecting our economy are not mutually exclusive goals. They must be pursued together.

Comparison: Crouere's Column & Our Analysis – Why the America Party Hurts Democrats Most

In our earlier article, we laid out five key reasons (plus a bonus) why Elon Musk’s new American Party is far more likely to fracture the Left than disrupt MAGA or the Republican base. Now, Jeff Crouere, in his July 6th column, independently reaches many of the same conclusions and that agreement matters, because very few are saying this out loud.

Here’s where we align:

1. The American Party Doesn’t Threaten MAGA
Crouere notes what we emphasized: Trump holds historic levels of support. Over 90% GOP approval and a 96% win rate for his endorsed candidates. In our piece, we highlighted that the MAGA coalition is built on 80/20 issues, policy wins, and cultural clarity. Elon’s appeal doesn’t dent that loyalty.

2. Democrats Are Disorganized and Vulnerable
Both articles point out that Democrats are fractured, with weak 2028 candidates (Crouere cites Buttigieg at 16%, Kamala Harris at 13%) and no coherent leadership. In our piece, we went further by breaking down how Musk’s platform pulls more from Greens, progressives, and disaffected Dems than from any Republican constituency.

3. Musk Appeals to Left-Leaning Technocrats, Not the Base
We mentioned that Musk’s core base (tech libertarians, green moderates, and pro-EV centrists) overlaps with Dem-leaning independents far more than MAGA. Crouere reinforces this by pointing out that the loudest voices backing Musk’s new party are left-of-center celebrities like Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci.

4. Immigration and Globalism Make Musk a Poor Fit for the Right
Crouere rightly flags Musk’s support of H-1B visas, close ties to China, and his reliance on government subsidies for EVs and AI. We noted similar concerns in our breakdown. This is true particularly in how his economic views and NASA lobbying conflict with America First ideals.

5. This Is Not a Movement. It’s a Disruption Play
Crouere cites Musk’s own words about targeting 2–3 Senate races and 8–10 House seats to influence key legislation. In our article, we labeled this a spoiler strategy, not a serious realignment. And again, spoilers hurt fractured coalitions, not unified ones like MAGA.

Bonus Point From Our Article – The Census Time Bomb

One point we emphasized that Crouere didn’t mention is the MTG Census Bill. If passed, this bill would exclude non-citizens from House seat apportionment, cutting the Democrats’ base by 20–25 House seats and shifting Electoral College votes. That, combined with Musk siphoning voters, could render the Left a permanent minority as Benny Johnson bluntly warned.

 Again...in the end...

So while many pundits still fear Musk will “split the Right,” both our article and Crouere’s make clear: the real risk is to the Democrats. And not enough voices are saying this.

When MAGA is unified, and the Left is fractured, a third party isn’t a threat—it’s a gift.
