The Regime v. America; A Night at the Canterbury: The post-Christian West...more

A Night at the Canterbury: The post-Christian West is descending into relativism and, ultimately, nihilism   Today’s Christian churches are full of free riders. In general, little is required of modern Christians, and all aspects of the Christian lifestyle have become optional. Aside from a few small gestures of faith, Christians are indistinguishable from non-Christians. They may receive their sacraments and associate with other Christians, but their outlook and behavior are much more defined by their environment than their religious beliefs. Even when their churches are desecrated, their brothers and sisters in Christ are martyred, or the key tenets of their faith are violated, most Christians tend to carry on as before, never realizing the damage that their complacency does to their religion.

In the midst of the season of Lent, now is the perfect time for Christians to stop this. As with the early Christians, the solution is simple: avoid sin and do more fasting, prayer, and almsgiving and confront Christians who refuse to do these things. These actions resist both the progressive extreme of accepting everyone and everything as well as the traditionalist extreme of hunkering down and excluding all outsiders. Rather, such an approach could reestablish Christianity as a force in the culture by maintaining its structural integrity while allowing for growth.

At this point in time, a half-hearted Christian is worse than a whole-hearted atheist. For those who disagree (and most well-meaning Christians certainly will disagree), they should recognize that a post-Christian West is already happening, and it will soon be just as unpleasant and unfamiliar as its prequel two millennia ago.

The Regime v. America...Lawfare threatens to destroy our constitutional republic  The American rule of law sustained our capacity for self-governance. The legal system midwifed the most sophisticated property rights regime in the world, improved our collective reasoning faculties, balanced the imperative of change with the demands of tradition, and settled disputes of trivial insignificance as well as controversies of monumental importance. The system functioned so well that most Americans never even thought about it. And it commanded such astonishing respect that virtually everyone obeyed its commands in even the most partisan contests. 

But today, sophisticated regime mandarins in Big Law, government, and non-profit activist organizations seek to pervert our legal system by hacking it. They warp its dispute resolution and truth-seeking function to one that advances and sustains their grip on power, delegitimizing that grip in the process. This is known as lawfare. Its variants include access denial, weaponized defamation law, weaponized criminal law, misuse of federal and state agencies, subversive professional licensing requirements, and “adversarial inversion.”

Welcome to 2024: The Last Year of America?...The next eight months of your life should be devoted to preparing for a black swan event   If I’m being really honest, it looks to me like the Biden regime is conducting a communist takeover of America — and it's doing just fine. After all, we are entering the fourth year of this coup. Once the election was stolen in 2020, and the national security institutions that are responsible for preventing such a catastrophe actually ignored the events and protected the perpetrators, I began to have my doubts that the CIA and the FBI and DHS and DoD — and about 10 million of their contractors and agents and assets — were still, you know, on the side of the American people.

And if that’s true, then the next eight months should be spent getting prepared.

10-Year-Old Kids Denied Drinking Water In Class Because Of Three Muslims Observing Ramadan “The fact that 24 children have to take three children into consideration when it comes to basic physical needs, that’s a strange intervention,” he added.

The school has refused to comment on the claims, according to the report.

DEI Got Me Sacked From My Nursing Job 

It’s fine to oppose diversity, equity and inclusion as long as you keep it to yourself. The moment you speak out, you have a target on your back. That’s the lesson I learned in February. I made the mistake of questioning DEI on my personal social-media account. The hospital where I worked fired me within days.

I’ve been a registered nurse for 16 years. In 2021 I began working in the emergency department at Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown, Md., rising to assistant clinical manager in February 2023. Since I oversaw nurses, my highest priority after providing the best care to patients was protecting my team. That’s what got me into trouble.

Like many states, Maryland has been foisting DEI courses on medical professionals for several years.
