Morality should be at the center of politics because Morality comes from God, and God should be at the center of your life.

We need to stop acting like Russia is just a neutral state actor that only reacts to provocation.
It’s an independent nation with its own state interests which often run contrary to ours.

The Bible is the most accurate account to date of the Ancient World - with Archaeology regularly producing independent evidence that perfectly matches where and when the Bible says something occurred…
Yet “mainstream historians” routinely and uniquely treat the Bible as the one ancient text to be dismissed entirely or else must be independently verified by other sources that have proven far less reliable

Want to know what American conservatism/exceptionalism conserved?
Look no further than where it never existed but the New Right has: Europe.
The European right got the deal today’s postliberals want.
Christian Democrats ruled Italy, West Germany, and Austria for decades. Franco held Spain for 36 years, Salazar’s regime held Portugal for 4 decades, and Ireland wrote the Church into its constitution. Faith and family had the state behind them.
They conserved a Western Europe that is now among the least religious places on earth. The lowest birthrates on the continent sit in the countries with the deepest Catholic politics.
Spain, 4 decades of National Catholicism later, has the 2nd lowest birthrate in the EU. Italy’s Christian Democrats governed for nearly 50 years and left behind a pension state.
The family wage they promised never arrived.
Give the state the job of protecting faith and family and they get protected for exactly as long as it pays politically to protect them.
American conservatives created a jurisdictional guardian instead. The Founders barred Washington from establishing a national church, so faith never answered to whoever held federal power.
Divide power, protect property, keep markets open, and leave churches, families and states to run their own affairs. Reaganism revived it.
That order also built the largest economy and strongest military on earth, in a country where people still go to church.
What exactly makes the European record a reason to abandon those principles?
The New Right judges American conservatism by its failures and Europe’s alternatives by their promises, then calls importing them “America First.”
Beware those who seek destruction to fix supposed injustice, and offer no vision for restoration, creation, or reconstruction
Idk how y’all’s weekends went…
But I spent mine reconstructing the biblical chronology of 1 & 2 Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles…
It was worth it.
And as it turns out:
the text does indeed provide all the info to build it without errors and aligning all independently verified event years.
I didn’t even need to invoke scribal errors.

There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

When I was a youthful libertarian in my Ron Paul days I got taken in by the "antiwar" crowd. It seemed to make a lot of sense. If you leave others alone, they'll leave you alone. Non-interventionism seemed to make sense.
I was naive. And deeply wrong.
That schoolyard philosophy doesn't even work on the playground. It ignores the entire human history of conflict. It also ignores American history when we have been attacked without warning and without provocation in dozens of situations. I can give dozens of examples but I've been doing that for years and people rarely change their minds so I won't waste my time here.
I steeped myself in all the libertarian literature and revisionist history from all the leading libertarian authors and economists and believed it. But there was a moment during my readings that started tipping me away from this view, and it was when I started reading some of the revisionist literature on Winston Churchill. Ralph Raico's "Rethinking Churchill." I was eager to listen to some critiques because I thought I was opening my mind to new ideas you didn't hear in mainstream academia. But it turns out there's a reason they don't teach it in academia, and that's because it's hogwash.
I remember specifically riding the bus in NYC in 2012 and reading Raico's description of Churchill as monstrous and a murderer of the Boers, which I was trying to keep an open mind about to expand my understanding of history. But it was the moment that Raico described a young Winston playing with toy soldiers that was meant to be evidence of the famous Brit's bloodlust that turned me off. Who hadn't played with toy soldiers as a young man and dreamed of glory in battle? That's a perfectly normal and healthy instinct for a young man. It impacted me. This was character assassination in purpose of blind ideology, not historical analysis. I started to wonder what wagons exactly I had hitched myself to.
Then in subsequent years I spoke out a little when the Ron Paul institute would blame Ukraine and the West for Putin's wars of expansion, and the violent antibiotic reaction to even the faintest criticism at the time started making me question deeper the true motivations of the antiwar crowd. This wasn't some principled non-interventionism, or else it would be equally applied to Putin's wars of expansion. No, this was anti-Americanism. It was only wrong when America did it. And then I saw a libertarian antiwar rally in DC with Russian flags flying in the background, and after having debated commies on Russia Today and investigated them for several years I had finally figured out what was going on.
The antiwar movement is an anti America movement. And this is why it fits so neatly in with the Pro Palestine leftist activists, and why you'll see so many libertarian "leaders" chumming up to leftists like Kasparian or Uygur or others. They all have the same opinions about the most important issue: America (and Israel) are the great evils of the world (aMeRiCa iS tHe BiGgEsT tErRoRiSts). It's a grift, and when it's not some low IQ podcaster in thrall to foreign interests, it's just someone who wants cache in the cult of Rothbard. It's trite, boring, and relies on sophistry that appeals to the type of people who think Candace Owens is a brilliant crime sleuth.
I'm not prowar or anti war. I'm pro winning wars. Wars are inevitable. It's better to win wars than lose wars, and the United States is powerful because it's won wars. Maybe we could have fewer wars, but also maybe we can't... or maybe we should have MORE wars if that means the American people would be safer, freer, and our rights more protected. That's what matters to me. America First means that our Constitution, our way of life and liberty, and our prosperity comes first. If that can be done without war, then good. If it can't, then so be it.
If Republicans aren’t willing to defend our own policies and underlying principles, voters won’t be willing to vote for them.
We saw that with John McCain
This is an explicit admission that he wants to force you to join a union and pay their dues against your will.
Right to Work by definition means the state prevents employment from requiring Union membership and bans unions from forcing you to pay their dues even when you don’t agree with them.

Michael Knowles Calls Homosexuality “Deviant” — Then the Gay Activist Accuses Him of Being Closeted
Gay Activist: Why is it not okay for men to marry men or women to marry women?
Michael Knowles: Because marriage is, by its nature, the union between a man and a woman for the purpose of creation.
Gay Activist: According to the Bible?
Michael Knowles: No, according to nature.
Gay Activist: But you’ve seen that there are gay animals in nature, right?
Michael Knowles: Yeah, that’s not marriage. They’re not married.
Gay Activist: But is having sex with other men and loving them a natural thing?
Michael Knowles: I think there are all sorts of weird deviancies and aberrations that come out.
Gay Activist: If it’s natural, why is it deviant?
Michael Knowles: We mean “natural” in two different ways. Some things happen in nature, but that doesn’t necessarily make them good for human beings. Marriage is a natural institution, and I’m saying it’s contrary to natural law.
Piers Morgan: Do you think he’s a deviant for being gay?
Michael Knowles: Yeah, a bit deviant, yeah.
Gay Activist: People who are homophobic are always closeted gay men afraid of their own feelings. The research says it.
Piers Morgan: Are you being sent to gay therapy?
Gay Activist: I’ve never been to any therapy because it works on me. That’s why I’m gay.
Michael Knowles: What’s amazing about that response is that if you express the traditional Christian, Jewish, or Muslim view of homosexuality, the first thing some pro-LGBT activists do is accuse you of secretly being gay.
I wasn’t even using it as an insult you’re the one using it as an insult.
Gay Activist: I said that because you called me a deviant. You’re afraid of gay people, and the only reason for that would be that you’re secretly gay.
Michael Knowles: Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe the Bible is God’s word, inspired by the men who wrote it.
Gay Activist: But why are the men who wrote that book correct, and the other books that weren’t included incorrect?
Michael Knowles: What other books?
Gay Activist: I want you to read The Queer Thing About Sin. It dives into this quite deeply.
Piers Morgan: Have a Pride Day, but why a whole month?
Gay Activist: We have Pride events all over the world. I think it’s an important month because it shows people that we’re okay, we’re allowed to exist, and the world supports us.
No, I don’t think Gen Z - my generation - wants more “Authenticity”
We want and need more SINCERITY - people who are honest, direct, trustworthy, respectful, candid, clear, and above all actually follow through on what they say.
We just want people who have integrity and virtue

Oct 12, 1870: Robert E. Lee died in Lexington, Virginia, five and a half years after he surrendered at Appomattox.
When the war ended, Lee was the most famous man in the South and he had nothing. His family home at Arlington had been seized by the federal government and turned into a cemetery for Union dead. He was 58, his health was failing, and he was under indictment for treason, though he was never tried.
Offers came in. Businesses wanted to put his name on their letterhead for big salaries. He turned them down. Instead he took a job as president of Washington College, a tiny school in the Shenandoah Valley that had been looted by Union troops during the war. It had a few dozen students and a handful of professors. The salary was $1,500 a year.
He threw himself into it. He knew most of the students by name. He added courses in engineering, business, and journalism, which were unusual for the time. He replaced a long list of rules with an honor system and told students the school had only one rule: every student must be a gentleman.
He spent those years telling Southerners to accept the result of the war. He told former soldiers to go home and rebuild. According to an often-told story, when a widow complained bitterly to him about the Union, he told her not to raise her sons to hate the United States and to make them Americans. In 1869 he paid a short visit to President Ulysses S. Grant at the White House.
His heart was giving out. In the spring of 1870 he took a long trip south, partly for his health. Crowds met him at every stop. On Cumberland Island in Georgia he visited the grave of his father, Revolutionary War hero Light-Horse Harry Lee.
On Sept 28, a cold, rainy day, he went to a long meeting at his church about raising money for the minister's salary. When they came up short, Lee pledged the difference himself. He walked home in the rain and sat down to dinner with his family. When he tried to say grace, no words came out.
He had suffered a stroke. They made a bed for him in the dining room. For two weeks he lay there, mostly silent, while one of the worst floods in Virginia history swept through the region outside.
He died around 9:30 in the morning on Oct 12. He was 63.
Accounts written later said his last words were "Strike the tent," along with an order for A.P. Hill to come up, as if he were back on the battlefield. Doctors who have studied the case think the stroke had taken his ability to speak, and many historians doubt those words were ever said.
The flood had washed away the town undertaker's stock of coffins. Some were found downriver, and the only usable one was too short. Lee was buried in his suit without shoes.
He was laid to rest in a crypt beneath the chapel on the college grounds. Within days the school's trustees voted to rename it Washington and Lee. His horse Traveller, who walked behind the funeral procession, is buried just outside.
After the war Lee had signed an oath of allegiance and applied for a pardon. The oath was lost and never acted on. It was found in the National Archives a century later, and in 1975 Congress restored his citizenship.
Americans still argue over how to remember him and the cause he fought for, and they probably always will. But in the last five years of his life, he chose to spend what he had left teaching young men, rebuilding a broken school, and telling a defeated people to put down their anger and become Americans again.
156 years ago today. Rest easy General.
