“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. https://t.co/3lNk3yYBza

New essay on @BenSasse and the question I can't stop asking myself.

How can a dying man without the ability to grow skin on his face radiate a joy, levity, and peace that the rest of us are starving for?

One can only think here of what the Delphic oracle said to Croesus of Lydia in the Histories: if you march against the Persians, you will destroy a great empire. I hope someone remembers how this prophecy was fulfilled.

Hey if presidents are going to threaten to wipe out civilizations, I think congress should at least vote on it...

[Bill Chellis @BillChellis]

@michaeljknowles This Reformed Presbyterian minister recognizes a trap when he sees one. Unfair question as it’s all the same answer.

When I was a kid AOC’s position was right-coded, and it’s telling that the new Atlantic City version of the GOP has no interest in legislating on this.

@sdesocio @IVMiles I think a good case can be made that our bankruptcy laws are deeply rooted in the biblical concept of sabbath and jubilee.

The harder you fight a culture war, the faster what is best of the culture is lost. If you want to defend cultural capital, enjoy your life. Love your neighbor. Get married. Stay married. Have kids. Teach them the faith. Educate them. Go to their games.

[Peter Leithart @PLeithart]

The church, not the nation, is the telos of political life; without the universal truth to which the church bears witness and which she embodies, nations don’t know what they’re for.

Nations flourish only as they join the peaceable pilgrimage of tribes, tongues, and peoples to Zion.

[Peter Leithart @PLeithart]

Historically, nationalists have not been conservative. To make the nationalist omelet, after all, you need to crack a lot of traditional local cultures.

[Redeemed Zoomer @redeemed_zoomer]

The reason some Christians prefer contemporary worship over traditional is the same reason that many children prefer Burger King over grandma's homemade meals

[Sohrab Ahmari @SohrabAhmari]

I often call for restoring the GOP’s Eisenhower-Nixon tradition.

What did it look like in practice?

Young Republicans in 1956 promoting: *higher union density and expanded Social Security*.

Compare that to a supposedly populist GOP in thrall to El*n’s libertarian manias.

I’m not hearing the 2016 themes from Trump!

Reversing globalization.
Manufacturing revival.
Antiwar.
Lambasting corporate America.

What happened to the Trump that made some gasp, “Wow, he sounds like Bernie”?

He’s running a conventional-GOP message but meaner.

[Peter Leithart @PLeithart]

You want to see the renovation of the world? Look for a group of Christians sharing bread and wine, and you’ll see the beginning of humanity’s return to Eden’s tree of life. Where Christians gather to eat and drink, salvation has come to town.

The government and big tech companies have developed capacities to surveil and control the American people. This should concern us all.

[Oliver Anthony Music @AintGottaDollar]

I. Don't. Support. Either. Side. Politically. Not the left, not the right. Im about supporting people and restoring local communities.

Now, go breath some fresh air and relax. Please? :) I'm not worth obsessing over, I promise. Go spend time with your loved ones.

[Bill Chellis @BillChellis]

@roddreher @titusfilm It is still my favorite of your books!!
