the Devils Tower National Monument. thanks to Republicans

Grand Old Partisan appreciates Republican dedication to protecting the environment. September 24th 1906, Theodore Roosevelt issued the first proclamation declaring a national monument. The site was Devils Tower in Wyoming.

The President took this action under authority of the Antiquities Act, written by a Republican Representative and passed by the GOP-controlled 59th Congress. Preserving the magnificent monolith had begun a decade earlier when a Republican Senator convinced the Benjamin Harrison administration to make the surrounding area a national forest.

Michael Zak is author of Back to Basics for the Republican Party, a history of GOP civil rights achievement.


Each day, his YouTube videos and TikTok videos and Rumble videos and Grand Old Partisan blog celebrate more than seventeen decades of Republican heroes and heroics. And, see Speech Raves for audience feedback from his presentations in thirty-one states.

Clarence Thomas cited Back to Basics for the Republican Party in a Supreme Court decision.

"This is the most amazing book about politics that I have ever read. The Overview should be required reading for anyone with even a minor interest in government. The remainder is an enthralling history lesson that I will never forget. For years, we have all been misled about the true nature of the GOP. This is the real deal! Read it and be proud!"

"Your book is a national treasure. I'm always recommending it."

"Michael Zak wrote the definitive history of the GOP."

"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is the most significant contribution to the Republican Party in the last twenty years apart from Ronald Reagan."

"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is more important to our party now than ever before."

and

"one of the best books I ever read"

Grand Old Partisan  spotlights a meeting of two Republican heroes. September 6th 1987, Ronald Reagan visited the home of Alf Landon for his 100th birthday. The former Kansas Governor was the GOP's 1936 presidential nominee. "Today we celebrate – I know it will actually be in just a few days – but we're celebrating Alf Landon's first century, half the life of our nation since the framing of the Constitution." "In a hundred years, Alf Landon has chased many dreams and caught most of them. Along the way, he's found time to stand for the American values of liberty, democracy, and opportunity. And no one is more the living soul of Kansas, which to me means quiet strength and the simple decency of all America, than Alf Landon." "When it was out of fashion, you warned of the dangers of too much government and too much government spending. So this is my birthday message: It is that all Americans are thankful for what ...

Grand Old Partisan honors Robert Taft, born in Cincinnati, September 8th 1889. His father was President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft; his grandfather Alphonso, Secretary of War and Attorney General during the Grant administration. He studied at Yale and Harvard Law School. Political activity began in the state house. Following this came the speakership, then the state senate. In 1938, amid New Deal fatigue, Taft won first of three U.S. Senate terms. This traditional conservative became "one of the most powerful U.S. Senators of the 20th century." He was known as "Mr. Republican". Taft vied for the 1944 and 1948 presidential nominations, and in 1952, he narrowly lost out to General Dwight Eisenhower. Within months, pancreatic cancer struck him down. Near the U.S. Capitol there is a bell tower with an inscription: "This Memorial to Robert A. Taft, presented by the people to the Congress of the United States, stands as a tribute t...
