    This is the president of the Heritage Foundation

    Roberts wrote a book originally scheduled for release on September 24, 2024. It was originally titled Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America and then retitled Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.[33][34] In the book, Roberts writes that “‘many of America’s institutions…need to be burned’…Included among those to be incinerated…are the FBI and the New York Times, along with ‘every Ivy League college’, ‘80% of “Catholic” higher education’, and the Boy Scouts of America.”[35] The volume has a foreword by Vice President JD Vance.[34][36][37] In August 2024, amid the controversy surrounding Project 2025, Roberts postponed the book release until after the November election.[38] He launched book promotion events in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., shortly after the election. On November 13, The Guardian published an account of the strange reception of one of its reporters at one of those events. Although the newspaper had received an invitation to attend the event, the reporter was expelled.[39]

        Because the EU is shaping up to be the most effective defender of democracy in the northern hemisphere, standing up to the USA and Russia.

        And another dog killer it seems, because it’s totally normal to say that there is “zero evidence”:

        Several of Roberts’s former colleagues from New Mexico State University have alleged that Roberts told them he had killed his neighbor’s pit bull with a shovel because the dog’s barking disturbed his family. Roberts has denied this, saying, “This is a patently untrue and baseless story backed by zero evidence.”[45]
