@kilovh Somebody has read his C.S. Lewis . . .

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@AOC Thank you for saying this.

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@NRO @RichLowry @carolinedowney_ Good post, and commentary, until the Lewis quotation at the end. He didn’t say that.

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@MikeCosper Insufficient condemnation of someone else’s bad theology may be a cause for concern, but it’s a remarkably elastic and under defined criterion.

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@DianteLeeFB Great piece (sorry to be "that guy," but you want "tenets" not "tenants").

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@TheAlanNoble Come visit GR!

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@RameshPonnuru Praying for you and yours.

https://t.co/XISrwDNDeW For American Protestants, debates about what counts as authority and what faithfulness means for human sexuality are as unavoidable as they are important.

@jennfrey @bradrcarson Unfathomable.

@McGillPatterson If all men are created equal, how can parents have a stronger duty to care for their children than other people's children?

[mjwatson @DefensorPacis73]

@RichLowry Right. Zelensky and his attire are the problems here . . .

I am excited to open the new year with an engagement with Hopeful Realism, a new offering from @DefensorPacis73 @bryantmcgraw & Jesse Covington that seeks to help us apply the eternal principles of the natural law in our fraught moment.

Taking time today to remember the life of Maj. Megan McClung, the first female Marine Officer killed in the Iraq War and the first female graduate of the United States Naval Academy to be killed in action since the school was founded in 1845.

McClung was serving as a media relations officer with I Marine Expeditionary Force when a roadside bomb killed her instantly in Ramadi, Iraq, Dec. 6, 2006.

She was a firm advocate for media coverage of the war and spent the morning escorting Fox News, before returning to the area with Newsweek journalists. The journalists, who were in another vehicle, were uninjured.

McClung was a well known runner and triathlete. She competed in seven Ironman distance triathlons and organized the first Marine Corps Marathon (Forward) in Iraq to coincide with the 2006 Marine Corps Marathon. She served as the race director just weeks before her death.

One of her most lasting legacies was a phrase she coined while preparing service members and senior officials for media interviews. Her headstone at Arlington National Cemetery is engraved with her mantra: "Be Bold. Be Brief. Be Gone."

I never had the chance to meet Maj. McClung, but her legacy has been an inspiration for my life and career.

Please take time today to remember this hero and pray for her family, friends, and fellow Marines.

To learn more about the life of Maj. McClung, I encourage you to read this story: https://t.co/6pMs2ZyGr1… and @BeBoldBook by @TSileo.

@TPCarney Much like how "fundamentalist" has been used . . .
