Standing Firm: Why Jeremy Faison Is Dead Wrong About Conservative Principles
A Response to “The GOP Can’t Lead If It Governs Like Thomas Massie” Representative Jeremy Faison’s recent attack on Thomas Massie reveals everything wrong with today’s Republican establishment. In his November 12, 2025 article, Faison argues that Massie’s “unwavering stance on nearly every single issue” leaves him “isolated and irrelevant in actual governance.” He concludes […]
I was going to leave well enough alone. Except it seems, they can’t.
I made a post on social media on May 28th, along with video commentary on the particulars surrounding the passage of HB 322, an anti-human smuggling bill working to curb illegal immigration in our state. This is a great bill. We asked you to support this bill, and Tennesseans sent 7,184 emails to the General […]
It is starting to get incredibly difficult to tell the left from the right. The tactics are the same.
The only people who really seem to enjoy the muck and mire of political gamesmanship are the politicians themselves, the campaign consultant firms, and the pundits who make a living from gaining access to the players of the game. But as for the people, the voters, it is clear that there is a great amount […]
Let’s get to the heart of the matter.
My wife and I have had this book in our living room on a shelf for much of our married life. It has become window dressing, something to look at, but never read. Does anyone else have items like that? Over Thanksgiving, the book caught my eye and then my curiosity. It is called The […]
We must reject the call to silence Christian views in political discourse.
For weeks now, Phil Williams of Nashville’s Newschannel 5 has made it his mission to personally take down a candidate for mayor in the city of Franklin. Certainly, one could make the argument that he is working to influence the outcome of the election. Nonetheless, this campaign is the gift that keeps on giving and […]
Our response to disparaging remarks made on the Matt Murphy Show 99.7 WTN
It is a regular occurrence to be cast in a negative light on the Matt Murphy Show here on “conservative” talk radio in Nashville. And lately, the rhetoric has been turned up due to a relationship with the TN Faith and Freedom Coalition, an organization based in Williamson County that by all accounts is the […]
We must stop playing the middle, before it’s too late.
It is no secret that establishment players in the GOP find me to be divisive. They believe that I have a goal to divide the party. “Can’t we all just get along,” is often their mantra. But the way I see it, we are in the fight of our lives. Am I wrong? The Chamber […]
A recent poll shows that Tennessee voters oppose the Governor’s red flag law.
A recent statewide poll conducted by co/efficient showed that the majority of voters in Tennessee are against Red Flag laws. Such laws, enacted in some states, allow law enforcement or family members to petition a court to temporarily confiscate firearms from individuals deemed to pose a threat to themselves or others. However, the results of […]
The politics of personality are a detriment to liberty and constitutional order.
With great trepidation, I will wade into the waters of the upcoming Presidential primary, admittedly without picking a side. And you know why. Because if I did, at least half of you would stop following the work of Tennessee Stands. And that is precisely the problem that I would like to address here. Stop it. […]
Conservatives & Democrats Team Up Today On The House Floor – Crazy, Right?
We have watched here in Tennessee over the last few election cycles some really good conservative candidates get kicked off of the Republican Primary ballot for a variety of reasons. Of course, the committee likes to say that they are just following the bylaws. But you and I both know that sometimes those bylaws only […]
