Classical Education isn't the Savior of society, but a door to knowing Him.

🧵 This building nearly killed 200,000 people.

This is a tale of hubris and humility.

@TheRobertBshow Really lowballing the exhaustion spending

[Robert Bortins @TheRobertBshow]

Do the real math on that second income:
$50,000 salary

$18,000 taxes
$15,000 childcare
$8,000 commuting
$7,000 exhaustion spending

= $2,000 net gain
Someone's missing their kids' childhood for $8/day.

I'm quitting my job.
Here is what I'm doing next.

On the body politic—
For every accurate diagnosis, a wrong prescription.
You're poisoned, therefore eat poison.

This is the message, repeated loudly on all sides.

@TheRobertBshow The harshest truth isn't how little time we have with our kids, it's how easily we convince ourselves we'll make up for lost time later.

Harsh Truth:
Your child will be under your roof for 6,570 nights.

After that? They're gone.
No do-overs. No extensions.
No "I'll be more present tomorrow."

The clock is ticking and it doesn't pause for your career, your hobbies, or your excuses.

@TheRobertBshow Jimmy Kimmel hasn’t done comedy in over 10 years. He’s been soullessly parroting the most vanilla left wing talking points since 2015.

Now unemployed, perhaps he can find some free time to sit down with Colbert and reflect.(though I’m not optimistic)

@MattWalshBlog It just shows where there priorities are.

“Marriage is all about me, not my spouse, not my vows, not my community, not my God.

Me.”

@TheRobertBshow You mean Sam Altman might be interested in scooping up tax dollars for his custom AI tutors? No way.

It's only a matter of time until a mega corporation creates a school with H1B visa teachers to collect School Choice money.

@alecmbianco Is the message that it’s safer inside than dealing with pterodactyls?

4 CARDINAL VIRTUES

We have all heard of the 4 Classical or Cardinal Virtues at some point: Justice, Prudence, Courage, and Temperance.

But what are they, and why do we no longer try to cultivate them today?

A brief thread on their importance: 🧵

The most beautiful lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@TheRobertBshow Saving this for later. Have a feeling I’ll be fighting this battle in my own home very soon.

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@TheRobertBshow It should be a no brainer.

Why would any sane person give 15,000 hours of their children’s lives to people at war with God?

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@creation247 Yes

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@creation247 Checking on our southern neighbor.
Everyone’s wondering the same things…

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@CoffeewClassics So good.
Looks like I need to read Lewis again.

[Chris Blackburn @Diligent_Seeker]

@creation247 Happy birthday brother! Enjoy the X detox.
