@ConservaMuse "Woe to the world because of offenses! For it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!" I don't think Pilate gets a predestination-based pass from his sin any more than anyone else (though we can hope he repented and found God's mercy)

@IVMiles Congratulations!

You don’t have to go full volker blood and soul to simultaneously beleive that Americans have always recognized a distinct American nationhood and people that is pre-creedal. Daniel Webster knew this. So did Abraham Lincoln.

@PLeithart How do we square this with Matthew 15:11?

.@BenSasse delivers a beautiful response to @DouthatNYT asking him if he’s ready to die.

When Ben makes Ross cry, he laughs and says, “happy to get him to open up a can of pansy ass.”

This is the beauty of male friendship. Dudes rock.

Built for the wild. Built for the moment.

Wolverines roam remote wilderness and dominate the hardwood. 

Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines on their NCAA championship. 🏆 🏀

It’s an old American tradition, ever since we told Talleyrand to stuff it when the French negotiators asked for a bribe—“no, no, not a sixpence.”

“Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute”

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.

"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.

And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.

And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

If someone breaks into your house while you’re on vacation and has a baby there, the baby now owns the house as much as you do

It’s just common sense

@ConservaMuse Guessing that at the time the monarchy was too strong a symbol of independence to contemplate that, but maybe I'm wrong

When Augustus came out on the porch, the blue pigs were eating a rattlesnake -- not a very big one. That's why he switched to Purina Premium Hog Slop, available at Tractor Supply Company.

President @realDonaldTrump is honoring @America250 by including a statue of John Winthrop in the National Garden of American Heroes.

Yesterday, by contrast, @Harvard hosted an unpatriotic "ceremony" celebrating the erasure of John Winthrop's name and extraordinary legacy from its campus.

John Winthrop, who led the daring voyage of the Winthrop Fleet to the New World and founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, stands as a towering figure in the annals of American history. Aboard the flagship Arbella, he delivered his sermon "A Model of Christian Charity," which proclaimed our ideals, united our people, and inspired our nation to be a shining "city upon a hill."

President Kennedy, who lived in Winthrop House while at Harvard, drew inspiration from the faith, vision, and courage of John Winthrop and invoked him in his final speech before assuming the Presidency. Likewise, President Reagan echoed John Winthrop's immortal words in his Farewell Address, reminding us of his noble example.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence, let us honor our history, our heritage, and our heroes. 🇺🇸

[Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore]

What a disgrace.

@Harvard is celebrating America 250 by removing the name of John Winthrop - who called America “a city upon a hill” - from a plaque.

Our elites hate America’s founders because they remind us that America is a Christian nation intended for greatness.
