Receive therefore every day as a resurrection from death...

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower 
than the heavenly beings
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion 
over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
-Psalm 8 Image

Receive therefore every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.   -William Law

The Democratic Socialists of America vs. the United States of America  Today, the mainstream media and institutions like academia lack the moral clarity to simply state that the political rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is an existential threat to the United States of America.
   I’ll go one step further. A few weeks after the United States celebrated its monumental 250th anniversary, there is a strong effort to whitewash the DSA, mischaracterize their aims, and obscure their odious policy agenda. Image

Democrats who don't want to see their party in ruins had best step up and vocally, without hesitation or qualification, disavow the platform and dissociate themselves from the rabid America-haters. Accepting them as Democrats is not about a "big tent." It's a funeral bier for Democrats.

Peter Schweizer: Homeland Security Found 278,000 Noncitizens on the Voter Rolls  Election security has unfortunately become embroiled in partisan politics, Schweizer says, but Democrats who are opposing efforts to harden America’s election security, as the SAVE America Act purports to do, must explain their hesitation.
   “So, if the Chinese are gathering this data, and they’re hacking into our election systems, and you’ve got people that are illegally registered to vote, we should get rid of those vulnerabilities,” Schweizer says. “My point to the Democrats would be — why not do this? Either they are opposing it because some of them [Democrats] want those people voting, and they want the fraud because it helps them win,” he says.

The Mullahs Have Dropped the Mask—The Gulf Must Unite to End Tehran’s Reign of Terror  For more than four decades, Iran's ruling theocracy has perfected the art of plausible deniability. Murder, sabotage, hostage-taking, and terrorism have been carried out through a web of proxies stretching from Lebanon to Yemen, from Iraq to Gaza. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and an array of Shi’ite militias served as expendable instruments, allowing Tehran's clerical rulers to wage war while pretending innocence. That pretense has finally collapsed. Image

Trump: Iran Will Pay for Ship Damage With Its Own Frozen Funds  The comment follows after the U.S. has pounded Iran for about 12 days straight. Iran and the U.S. tore up a memorandum of understanding that sought peace after Iran repeatedly fired upon ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

When Islamic supremacists openly celebrate 9/11 while enjoying all the benefits of living inside the United States, Americans know the enemy walks among them.  When British authorities cover up the atrocities of Muslim rape gangs, Brits know Whitehall can’t be trusted.  The cost of government betrayal is high and will only continue to rise.


Historic Buffalo Church TORCHED TWICE In Four Days Following Sale To ISLAMIC Group  A 140-year-old Catholic church in Buffalo has been deliberately set on fire for the second time in four days, the third blaze to hit the site this year. Investigators confirmed arson.
   The property was sold years earlier by the Diocese of Buffalo to a company affiliated with the Downtown Islamic Center, which planned to turn the historic complex into a mosque.
   Christian heritage keeps vanishing while officials scramble over “securing” the site they already allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

So here is the unfashionable thought. The question is not whether the Crusades were good. Serious history doesn't grade in gold stars. The question is whether we are still allowed to understand what they were for, and whether a civilization that has criminalized its own memory of self-defense can mount any defense at all.


The people who know nothing know everything...At an insufferable anti-Israel dinner party, a masterclass in dealing with pro-Palestinian idiocyI have no doubt that this is the finest post-October 7th piece published on Substack (originally on Moral Clarity). The substantive arguments speak for themselves, but what is so special about the piece is how it is written. Far more than a mere polemic or an academic thesis, it is a bona fide work of literature that gets to the beating absurdity of Andy Burnham thought. It speaks of argument in a world of slogans. It promotes truth in a world of ignorance. It elevates fact in a world of fiction. And it does so with a humour, humanity and exasperation that AI would never be capable of. It is Nachum Kaplan’s authentic voice, and the voice of all those that despair along with him.
   Put simply, it’s a masterpiece deserving of a prize that the luvvies will never give him —-and it’s a powerful testament to the continuing force of the writer to preserve our humanity. (Don't miss this!)

Massachusetts House Passes Bill That Would Allow Late-Term Abortions  “It’s a very sad day in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. The precedent that we’re setting is that a mother can get an abortion up until the moment of birth for a healthy, viable baby,” state Rep. Alyson Sullivan-Almeida said. 
   “This is a significant change to the law to expand what is already an extremely progressive abortion policy in Massachusetts,” state Rep. Joseph McKenna added.

Washington should keep pressure on the southern border while expanding northern intelligence, cargo screening, anti-corruption work, and joint investigations. Project Bay exposed one network using legitimate commerce as cover. America can't afford to discover its northern gaps only after the drugs, guns, and brokers are already in place.
