In my first article here on X, I argue that America is based on a set of ideas that comprise a civic operating system. I attempt to outline those ideas here. This OS is compatible with any belief system that includes intelligible metaphysical realism and inalienable rights.

👀 Despite the Republican Party being afflicted with the heartbreak of RINO-ceros, I should probably lay aside my hesitancy and send them some money. I don’t want the US to go through what the UK has been going through since the Left returned to power there.

@NightSkyToday Universe from nothing’ in quantum cosmology is a semantic trick. The ‘nothing’ already includes quantum laws, mathematical structure, and a physical framework. That is not nothing. It’s a highly structured something.

Wait, has Steve Bannon been a communist aiming to destroy this country all along? Here he is admitting to a reporter that he was a Leninist in 2013: "I'm a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that's my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and

The inability to recognize that all religions are not equal in their commitment to the US's foundational values will bring about its erasure. If a religion is committed to ending your freedoms if able to do so, you should not be bound to protect it under the "freedom of
The US is not an ethnostate, and adherents to any religion, or no religion, can be full Americans. "‘E Pluribus Unum’ isn’t a lie. A Tennessee congressman’s anti-Muslim screed is vile. His attack on pluralism itself is worse." by @Jeff_Jacoby

Many pro-life Christians assume there’s no place for them in the Democratic Party. But @jamestalarico welcomes them, saying there may be more common ground than meets the eye. It's essential that Christians learn how to work together with others committed to justice, diversity,

The inescapable conclusion as to why Thune won’t fight for the SAVE Act. DR has backed this up with receipts in her recent posts.
@ForAmerica Senator Thune is the paid influencer. That's the only explanation why he takes the wrong side of a 85-15 issue.

People think the Bible is boring. Once, I was talking to another man one time, explaining my process of teaching the Old Testament and getting people to dig deeper. He interrupted, looking at me in surprise, and said: “It sounds like you are talking about The Lord of the Rings

A Scarlet Thread 🧵 Last week I posted about some physical objects in the Old Testament with messianic significance. In addition to objects, some of the actions and processes involved in preparing offerings also had deeper meanings that spoke of Christ. 1/11

SC also has "jail abolitionists" who want to let criminals out of jail to victimize citizens again and again. They work to establish citizen (activist) committees to advise on police procedures & policies and through campaigns to elect activist judges. If you enjoy your public

Dear Zoomers, One of the awesome things the 80s produced was the movie Red Dawn, in which the Soviet Union and the Cubans invade the United States. A band of high school kids in Colorado mount a guerilla resistance, putting their red-blooded American hunting and camping skills

Parents, grandparents—read this, and show the video to your high school age and mature elementary age kids. They may not get this vital info about America’s founding anywhere else, and certainly not from the public schools. Excerpt: “Rights are not gifts from a king or

What the Woke Right fools don’t realize is that they are the smallest center of gravity for the Red-Green-Brown alliance to organize around, and if their new alliance ever gets power they will be the first ones lined up against the wall.
Short, short version: 1) Woke Right shatters current Republican Party, causes losses and divisions 2) Woke Right radicalizes conservatives under next Dem rule 3) Woke Right presents itself as the largest center of gravity to reorganize around and screams we have to win or die.
