The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

Thomas Aquinas on the nature of Islam from the beginning:

“The point is clear in the case of Muhammad. He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men.

As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms [weapons]—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants.

What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning. Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law.

It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly.”

—Thomas Aquinas, Summa Contra Gentiles I.6

Before becoming a Georgia Tech legend, Bobby Dodd was an 'iconoclast' multi-sport star at Tennessee.

“No Tennessee athlete has worn the Orange and White with more glory than Dodd."

Father Judge ran into the burning towers to give last rites to the dead and to the dying.

The south tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. and the blast of debris killed him because he was inside tending to the people.

Five men carried his body to St. Peter’s Church in Lower Manhattan and laid him before the altar. The photograph of them bearing him away became known as a modern American Pietà.

This is what heroic virtue looks like.

🇺🇸 September 14, 2001. Ground Zero.

President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn.

A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him.

Bush: “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

Meanwhile, back in reality, the Obama Administration secretly tracked a Fox News reporter and named him an unindicted co-conspirator for reporting on North Korean nuclear testing.

"I've never seen them un-end a game"

Some college football history for everyone... In the 2010 Music City Bowl, UNC (without timeouts) attempted to spike the ball to stop a running clock for a game tying field goal. Miscommunication led to 15 men on the field and people thought the game was over. In fact, **the refs announced the game was over** in the stadium.

Upon review, the spike hit at :01 so UNC was given time for a field goal which they hit and ultimately won the game.

Why no run-off penalty for 15 men on the field? Because that rule didn't exist yet. It was created as a result of this game.

The Diocese of Fort Worth in Texas, under Bishop Michael Olson, has opened a new parish named after Matthew Ayariga, one of the 21 young men murdered by the Islamic State on a Libyan beach in February 2015.

A native of Ghana, Ayariga was reportedly not a Christian when he was captured alongside 20 Egyptian Christians.

According to some accounts, the courageous witness of his fellow captives inspired him during their captivity.

When the terrorists reportedly demanded that he reject Jesus Christ, Ayariga is said to have responded, “Their God is my God.”

It seems that it really was the case that we had obliterated Iran’s navy very early on, and there was never a good reason to shut down shipping, and Iran got that done sheerly through lies and their propaganda puppets in the West stoking PANIC

There’s no relationship between data center density (megawatts per million residents in a state) and electricity prices in Republican states: r = +0.02.

In Democrat states there is, but it’s negative: r = -0.63.

Going to be honest, I've always been pretty moderate on abortion. I accepted it was the taking of the life, felt it was wrong and should be shamed, but didn't feel comfortable nevertheless about legally taking the right from women in the first trimester.

But this whole case has made me grapple more with the metaphysical implications. You can see the same line of emotional argumentation that pregnancy "inconveniences the woman" and should be allowed extend from a 6 or 12 week abortion to the push to legalize "full term" (infanticide) and now this rationalization of killing your kids in general when you "don't get enough help."

In every case the focus is placed on the mother's internal state and "needs," not the child's.

Evil always starts out as something reasonable, before it fully blooms into something unconscionable.

datacenters are the new nuclear power. we're going to make it really difficult to build them for no reason at all and it will just make things more expensive and hurt domestic industry and people will celebrate it as some huge victory
