Good Morning,

Welcome to Friday’s Christian Business Corner.  Please join me for a short daily scripture break.

Deuteronomy 24:5:

“If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him.  For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married."

We have previously discussed retaining the professional services of a group of subject matter experts for your business.  Make sure your organization is 100% compliant with state and federal labor laws. Your retirement plans should also comply with state and federal regulations. Be fair with your employees and balance the financial needs and obligations of your business with legal requirements for appropriate employment practices.

This verse is a clear example of how important a “new” family’s stability was to the local culture. We have lost this wisdom in our culture in many ways.  Stable families are the cornerstone of a strong nation. This is astounding really - a family leave program with a one year exemption from any military draft requirement in 1446-1406 BC (the approximate time period the Book of Deuteronomy was written), extraordinary.

Have a blessed weekend.

Peace and be prepared.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

The US Constitution is superior because it lets We the People limit government instead of government granting privileges.

Reagan warned we reversed that order through endless rules and taxes that steadily took our freedom.

Agencies issued thousands of binding rules while Congress passed far fewer, creating the exact dynamic he said would contract liberty as government grew.

We must keep fighting back by slashing regulations, cutting the federal workforce, and reasserting elected control over agencies, in the face of the machine’s resistance as it built decades of unaccountable power.

Because government expansion always shrinks liberty.

If we don’t keep We the People driving then the reversal wins, the car takes the wheel, and America becomes just another nation where citizens need permission instead of owning their freedom.

This is outrageous. College educated Americans ages 20-24 have a 7.1% unemployment rate. Eighty percent of the jobs the h1b visa folks are taking are entry level white collar jobs.

This is why, in desperation, so many young people are turning to socialism and communism.

Worse, the US Federal Reserve just tapped Sharma, who just laid off 3,200 employees, to lead task force on ... jobs.

[LHGrey™️ @Grey_0G]

The letter arrived from across the Atlantic like a dispatch from the future we are still pretending we can dodge.

A Frenchman who has watched his own nation…once a cradle of thought and industry…sign its surrender without firing a single shot.

Not through revolution. Not through conquest.

Through the quiet, incremental trade of freedom for promises.

Security. Justice. The planet. Compassion.

Each exchange dressed in the language of care, each one moving another increment of real power from the individual who creates to the class that administers.

He does not speak of conspiracies.

He speaks of the measurable. Fifty-seven percent of everything produced captured by the state. The most gifted young people dreaming only of escape.

A magnificent country reduced to managing its own elegant decay while wondering why nothing vital is born there anymore.

What he describes is not France’s private tragedy. It is the destination.

And America…the last nation where the builder is still celebrated as hero rather than reframed as suspect…is walking the same road.

Slower, perhaps. More disguised in the rhetoric of equity and sustainability. But the mechanism is identical.

The administrative state claims more of productive life with every regulation, every disparate-impact standard, every ESG scorecard that converts private enterprise into an enforcement arm of political will.

The cultural institutions…universities, media, NGOs, corporate HR departments…have internalized the new religion without needing to be told: success is suspect, merit is oppression, the sovereign individual is a problem to be solved by collective management.

This is the pathology of the trade.

We do not vote for chains.

We vote for the comforting illusion that wiser, more compassionate hands will carry the burden of agency for us.

The elite consensus does not hide. It operates in the open…subsidized, applauded, institutionalized…because it flatters the modern citizen’s self-image as virtuous while extracting the actual cost from future productivity and from the builders who still refuse to kneel.

Hayek named the pattern eighty years ago.

The road to serfdom is paved with good intentions and centralized planning. France has reached the end of it. America still possesses the cultural reflex that could turn back…the valuation of the one who builds rather than the one who redistributes.

But the signatures are accumulating.

Every point of GDP transferred to administration. Every mandate accepted in the name of equity or the planet. Every success recast as a systemic flaw requiring correction. Each one is another line on the same document.

The essay that follows is not lament. It is diagnosis.

The surrender is not inevitable. It is a daily choice made in small acts of compliance and large acts of cultural acquiescence. Freedom does not die assassinated.

It dies anesthetized…to applause.

Read it with clear eyes. Then decide what you will build in its place…while you still can.

I'll post the link to the article in the comments.

Bouncing this to the top one last time.

Some of you probably get tired of me saying this, but the fact is that X actively encourages original content via articles, but they are not seen like regular posts in the timeline for whatever reason unless you quote-post them. Articles take a lot of work, they should get prioritized, but instead they get de-prioritized. I hope X fixes this soon.

I feel strongly about this one, please consider reading it.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

Many solar complexes never end up tied into the grid - or they do for a short period and go offline. We’re tracking a few that have been offline since 2022 around Upstate NY.

How could this happen?

The credits and subsidies come from BUILDING the complexes. Once they’re “built,” the money flows and the foreign corporations move on. No one monitors the facilities.

Since they generate such a pathetic amount of energy, they’re not a fix for the grid. Without the subsidies and credits, they’d never stand on their own.

What’s one effective way to put that to the test? Your electric bill hasn’t gone down. In fact, it has tripled.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

If your Republican controlled state legislature continues to give billions of dollars of your money to institutions of higher education pushing communism, open borders and a general hatred of the United States, it's time to start calling their offices or finding people to run against them.

Conservatives shouldn't be forced to pay for our own destruction. If these “elite universities” are so valuable, let them convince people to give them their money, instead of convincing politicians to confiscate and redistribute ours.

[Eric Schwalm @Schwalm5132]

The left’s usual outrage machine went missing today.
No big coordinated push. No fresh narrative flood. Just an unusual amount of space.

I laid out what that actually signals in the new piece.

The asshole Shapiro raised the tolls again
Why ?? because he is a criminal.

Why isn't anyone in DC calling this mother fucking Democratic Socialist out?

You are all pissing me off..

Shapiro is a criminal, Shapiro is a criminal, Shapiro is a criminal Shapiro is a criminal .

What are you going to do about it @JoshShapiroPA send agents to my home again you FUCKING PUSSY?

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

They did it on purpose.

That’s how leftists operate, one small test at a time.

They omit the historic European story first and watch what happens.

When the pushback is weak or nonexistent, they move to the next step. Then the next.

Today it’s a tourism map. Tomorrow it’s the school curriculum, the holidays, the street names, and who gets to claim the city’s identity.

They’re probing to see how much they can get away with.

The answer should be “nothing”.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

“Plotting the overthrow of the country isn't constitutionally protected activity.”

Pass it on, patriots. Because apparently everyone has become numb to communist musings.

They aren’t simple musings anymore.

They’re telling us who we are.

And we believe them.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

I like it when my enemy is eager to die. That means he and I have the same goal.

Islam has been trying to invade the West since Anno Domini 711.

And the West's great weakness has never been unwillingness to die. When the guardians of the West had to die to defend Europe, they faced death willingly. More of them in antiquity, less of them today, but ability to absorb causalities has never been our problem and never will be.

Our problem is not unwillingness to die. Our problem is unwillingness to kill.

This is why the current Muslim invasion of Europe is leaving its AK47s at home.

It's a tactic. They have discovered that rifles are a liability, and they are better off without them.

Why?

Because the rifle increases our willingness to kill them more than it increases their ability to kill us.

The tactics have changed, but the war is the same.

We're not at war with Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, Al-Shabaab or JNIM. We're at war with Islam.

It's the same war we've been waging since 711. They want to kill, enslave, or forcibly convert us, and we don't want that.

That's what a war is, guys.

You may not like that. Doesn't matter. We are not talking about what "should" be. We are talking about what is.

We don't get decide or not if we are at war with Islam, because Muslims have decided they are at war with us.

We are better at fighting wars than they are. Because we are better at hurting people than they are. So if we are willing to hurt them, we win.

If we continue trying to not-hurt them, we lose. Because that's not how you fight a war.

It really is that simple.

A must-read. Great article.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

I'm voiceless. Literally. I've spent 44 years getting used to not being heard.

And then, somehow, many people started listening.

That kind of reach isn't something I earned; it was given to me, and not so I could be popular.

It was given to me to say what needed to be said when it mattered.

🚨 ARKANSAS ALERT: Taxpayer funds are reportedly flowing to a school advancing a “parallel society” agenda in a deep-red state.

According to a new report, Huda Academy in Arkansas is expanding to a 10-acre campus, subsidized by hundreds of thousands in state vouchers.

Critics warn the school’s strategy aligns with goals to bypass assimilation and build insulated, parallel institutions.

The school’s leadership includes an Al-Azhar-trained scholar, and reports raise serious questions about public funds backing this ideological shift. Calls are growing for a full investigation into how public voucher money is being utilized. 👇

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

This meme is political fiction.

The Democratic Party doesn’t get to erase its own history and claim credit for victories it spent generations resisting.

It was Democratic politicians who defended slavery.

It was Democratic politicians who led the Confederacy.

It was Democratic politicians who built and enforced Jim Crow across the South.

It was Democratic politicians who opposed Reconstruction after the Civil War.

It was Democratic senators who filibustered civil rights legislation for weeks.

It was Democratic governors who stood in schoolhouse doors to block integration.

It was Democratic political machines that used redlining, segregation, and discriminatory housing policies to trap generations of Black families in neighborhoods with fewer opportunities.

The fight for women’s suffrage also faced fierce opposition from Democratic leaders, particularly in the South, who feared expanding the electorate.

So don’t tell me the party that spent generations resisting equal rights is the reason Americans have them today.

Rights weren’t handed down by politicians out of generosity. They were won because courageous Americans challenged the political establishment, often against fierce resistance from the very people now trying to rewrite history.

History doesn’t change because someone made a meme.

“NO WIDESPREAD FRAUD!”

There. They said the magic words again. Everybody go home. Democracy has been saved.

Never mind the loopholes.

Never mind the ballot chains nobody can explain without a 47-page procedural manual and three lawyers.

Never mind the voter rolls, the drop boxes, the signature rules, the machines, the late-night counting, the mystery pauses, the “clerical errors,” the magically discovered batches, or the fact that asking basic questions now gets you treated like you stormed Fort Knox with a QAnon shaman.

Just repeat after the experts:

NO. WIDESPREAD. FRAUD.

It is the political equivalent of a restaurant with rats running across the floor screaming, “THERE IS NO WIDESPREAD FOOD POISONING.”

Oh. Great. Then I guess the rats are fine.

That is Spencer Pratt’s point, and it is devastating because the establishment still refuses to understand it.

The issue is not merely whether somebody can prove enough fraud to flip an election after the fact.

The issue is whether the system is built to deserve trust in the first place.

Courts understand the appearance of impropriety matters. Judges are expected to be above suspicion. Public institutions are supposed to protect legitimacy.

But elections?

Apparently those run on the honor system now.

Do not ask for proof.
Do not ask for tracking.
Do not ask for citizenship verification.
Do not ask for transparent audits.
Do not ask why obvious vulnerabilities remain open.

Just trust the same people who become visibly angry the moment you request receipts.

And when millions stop believing them, they blame “misinformation.”

No, jackass.

You built the distrust.

You fed it.

You protected it.

Then you screamed “NO WIDESPREAD FRAUD” so many times you apparently forgot the public can still see the damn system.

[BLACK DUMPLING™ @BlackDumpling]

And the opposition was counting on this being the justification to keep them here.

To be frank, I grow weary of we treating Traitors like countrymen, when they feel no desire to do the same for us.

They shelter themselves with laws they feel no compulsion to adhere to.

And so.. Consider... that our laws are not their laws, and following them to the service of the enemy serves none but them.

Imagine if every Nazi demanded to be put on trial before we shot them on the battlefield, and there was an entire American state based governmental network designed to ensure they had such protections. Even as they themselves kept shooting us.

That is where we are now.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Incentives aren’t complicated.

We just ignore what ours are actually doing.

We tax speeders to stop speeding and cigarettes to stop smoking, yet we tax people who work and companies that make profits and subsidize those who don’t.

Then we act shocked when we get less work, less employment, fewer successful businesses, and more and more people on welfare.
