Isn't it interesting? Perhaps the irony is that sexual monogamy was supposed to be one of the constraints from which modernity would liberate us, yet it increasingly looks less like an arbitrary religious prohibition & more like a remarkably sophisticated piece of civilisational wisdom. The sexual revolution promised freedom through the dismantling of boundaries, but many of the resulting problems, fractured families, commodified intimacy, loneliness, pornography, collapsing fertility and profound confusion about the meaning of sex itself, raise an awkward question: what if those boundaries were not designed to frustrate human flourishing, but to protect it? Christian sexual ethics begins to look very different when the alternatives are subjected to their own stress tests.
Sexual monogamy has never looked so sane. Secular values are failing all of their own stress tests.

Democracy is not a legitimate mode of governance if the State can select a new polis to represent. Extending the franchise to foreigners fundamentally violates the social contract. Elected official are not legitimate authorities if they engineer the voter pool.
A strange man from Africa can arrive in Ireland, claim asylum, and cast a vote in our local elections two weeks later. We don't have a democracy. People like you destroyed it.

The most ungrateful women to ever walk this earth are WHITE women. Period. Your men are the most desired men on the entire planet. The most successful. The most romantic. The most caring. The most family oriented. They put their women FIRST above every other race of men and women on earth. And yet YOU are the ones who complain the loudest about childcare, equality, postpartum, oppression. When a Black woman, an Asian woman, an Indian woman, an African woman gets one of your men, she knows she won the lottery. She holds on tight. She wants to give him lots of children. She wants to build a home. She knows his value. You have TOTAL power over your men. Your favorite weapon is 911 because you know he will come running to protect you. You have the most support in marriage, the most support in childcare, the most money, the lowest rate of single motherhood and yet you are still the ones killing your own children the most and crying about healthcare when you are literally the most likely to survive childbirth and revive the best healthcare than any other race because your man will tear that hospital apart if they play with you. Your men conquered a whole continent. Built empires. Built the most powerful nations on earth. And gave it all to you. Wrapped it in privilege. Handed you freedom, safety, money, and power that no other women in history have ever had. And after 400 years of that privilege, you still have the audacity to call them your oppressors. No race of women has ever been given so much and appreciated it so little.
What opinion will get you in this position?

The faith and sacrifice of the pioneers are not merely part of our history. They are part of our heritage as a covenant people.  Today we honor those faithful Latter-day Saint pioneers who established homes, communities, and temples in the mountain West—including those who labored for 40 years to build the Salt Lake Temple. Their efforts were motivated by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and trust in His promises.  As we celebrate Pioneer Day, we express gratitude for all who have helped build the Lord's kingdom, both past and present. Their examples remind us that discipleship requires faith, sacrifice, and steadfastness in keeping sacred covenants.

To my Latter-day Saint ancestors, Who settled a land mass almost twice the size of the original 13 colonies, In a part of the world so barren and dry that most thought it was impossible. Who faced extermination orders from governments, and fled from state to state, Fled murderous mobs, Went to war with the United States Army, and won… I thank you for your sacrifices and bravery, and praise God for your preservation. Happy Pioneer Day.

Nolan was trying to recreate Oppenheimer.
I talked to famed translator Emily Wilson about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, in a wide-ranging conversation about shifting norms of translation, the strangeness of Homer's world, and the online discourse about the movie Here's what she said about the film: - "It is a big spectacle, and it is a fun time at the movies. My teenagers really loved it, and it was fun to go with my teenagers. It’s a fun summer action movie." - "I don’t think it’s a complicated movie. And I don’t think it’s even about a complicated man. I think it’s a quite simple action hero movie about an action hero who feels bad about being an action hero." - "When the casting was announced, it was The Talented Mr. Ripley that gave me hope in terms of where this might go with Matt Damon as Odysseus. Homer’s Odysseus is a complicated man, polytropos ... [But] Matt Damon in the film is traumatized Jason Bourne." - "There’s no Cyclops trick. There’s no comedy. Matt Damon isn’t required to be be scheming. We don’t even see him building the Trojan Horse, which I thought was an interesting choice. We have this tech hero, but we don’t see him building his tech. We see him agonizing about the results of the tech." derekthompson.org/p/emily-wi…

You won’t regret watching this clip I first listened to this truly prophetic speech decades ago, but I’ve thought about it countless times since then Neal A. Maxwell masterfully diagnosed the problems with our increasingly godless society

It isn't just guns. Anglos are accustomed to civil liberties that they have possessed for centuries. The twentieth century hatched a managerial class that saw these ancient rights as an inconvenient obstacle to their imposition of the perfectly regulated society. The people were reluctant to give these liberties up. Social engineering was sufficient to convince some fraction of them to defect to the managerial order, but not enough. So the managerial class started importing voters from cultures that have no tradition of liberty, telling everyone that the imports came because they yearned to be free, when knowing full well that they would reliably vote for the enslavement of all.
Gun owners: All issues are downstream of immigration. Most new immigrants who naturalize vote Democrat. Democrats want your guns via bans, red flags, and registries. Uncontrolled immigration + citizenship = permanent electorate against the 2A. Secure the border or watch your rights disappear one new voter at a time. This is math, not malice

If a judge sleeps with an attorney arguing one of her cases, and rules in favor of him, there is no way that ruling can be trusted.

⚠️ BREAKING: SALT LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE COVER UP IN PROGRESS ⚠️ @SLCO_Sheriff REMOVES citizenship & country of Birth, and ALL inmate identifiers off of the Salt Lake County Jail Inmate Lookup as of TODAY- 2/27/26. Taxpayers can no longer search inmates in the county jail and see any kind of basic identifying information on criminals. It appears my Hammer Reports- presenting the FACTS of who is being arrested, and for what, in our community- has struck quite a nerve. This comes after SLCo Sheriff quietly removed age, sex, race, and city of residence off the daily jail roster on 2/10/26, just two weeks after I began doing my Hammer Reports daily. An average of 42% of arrestees are caught and released daily- sometimes upwards of 66%- and the Sheriff's Office is protecting the basic identifiers of arrestees/inmates at the cost of the safety of the taxpayer who deserves transparency. After @RepubliKate read my statement to the @SLCo_Council on 2/24/26, with SLCO Sheriff Rosie Rivera in attendance, the Sheriff's Office updated their website citing 2025 GDPA, 2025 GRAMA, & a 2022 Internal Policy as to explain their recent decisions to hide critical information from the taxpayer. ⚠️*nowhere in these Utah codes does it explicitly the Sheriff's Office is legally required to censor this information from the taxpayer* ⚠️ They took it a step further today by removing this information off the jail inmate lookup. Now when KSL, KUTV, ABC4 says "a Man" committed a crime- we can't even verify his sex, because that is being hidden now too. Why is our elected Sheriff Rosie Rivera censoring criminal details from the taxpayer all of a sudden, after a crime victim and resident of SLC began shedding light on crime in the community via a data analysis? Please call your local representative and let them know this must be remedied immediately. @slcmayor @slcCouncil @ChiefBrianRedd @Clancy4Utah @VoteTrevorLee @KariLisonbee @UtahVote4Matt @mschultz_12 @gopTODD @danmccay

Within 10 years. Utah will be a deep blue state. There will be no “taking it back.” That isn’t how it works. Dems take power and rig it forever. Please do not let this happen.

Oh no! It sounds like John Curtis needs a friendly reminder. John’s D.C. office: 202-224-5251 John’s Utah office: 801-841-2665
Why is the SAVE Act dead in the US Senate? Senator John Curtis, Utah @SenJohnCurtis He is on paper a "Republican", but in reality he was a Democrat for many years and merely ran as a Republican to get elected in Utah. He was the Mitt Romney replacement in Utah.

This is why you should never lie. It always comes back to bite you.
Hey remember when Tim Walz called border patrol experts and claimed that were it not for Trump, democrats would have hired another 1500 federal immigration enforcement officers? I do.
