Announce a country wide prayer for water during a drought
Now endorse and pass legislation to build a data center in your state that relies on water for cooling and is owned by a Canadian billionaire.
Now tell everyone that you’re doing it in the name of progress and ignore local concerns for pollution and water reserves
Now announce another drought and ask your constituents to continue trying their best to save water.
Drive down I-15 through Silicon Slopes at 5:30 PM. Look at the glass boxes baking in the smog. Look at the thousands of identical crossovers idling in bumper-to-bumper traffic, filled with people who moved here from California because the taxes were lower and they liked the aesthetic of mountains. They don't know what it means to sweat on a mountain. They just want a backdrop for their lifestyle brand.
Utah swapped its birthright for a tech boom and a real estate bubble.
Every square inch of the valley is being paved over with cheap five-over-one apartments and master-planned communities with names like "The Orchard" built directly on top of the actual orchards they bulldozed to make room for them.
The modern Utahn’s highest aspiration isn't to build a kingdom; it’s to land a mid-level project management role at a SaaS company, buy a house with a 30-year mortgage, and spend weekends drinking 60-ounce dirty sodas from a drive-thru while their kids play competitive soccer.
It’s a giant, lukewarm simulation of success.
The Great Salt Lake is drying up, exposing a bed of toxic arsenic dust that blows across the golf courses and manicured lawns. It’s the perfect metaphor. The literal foundation of the valley is turning to poison.
The Old Republic is dead: it was an enlightenment masonic fiction. The future is a Byzantine model imperium of ethnos in unison under a common Faith: not fractured, divided propositional revolutionary “nations.”
This single experiment has completely dismantled the progressive approach to crime.
Public safety matters. And it isn’t achieved by coddling criminals or handing them endless second chances.
Once serious offenders were taken off the streets, the country began seeing real progress across multiple areas.
Standing with victims rather than perpetrators is simply better for society.
@RdHdSteppeson Its so much worse though.
The insistence on faith despite the lack of historicity ruins peoples critical thinking. Even when they leave the mormons they become overly skeptical and distrustful of even verified historical events/claims.
Utah’s future is at stake!!
Largest data center IN THE WORLD (62 sq mi) slated for Box Elder County, Utah being quietly rammed through approvals by Cox & cronies and developed by Canadian millionaire Kevin O’Leary.
If it were in SLC (it’s not- just used for size reference here) it would span from the airport on the north to 215 freeway on the south 🤯
Show up Monday, May 4 at the Box Elder County Fairgrounds in Tremonton at 4 p.m. to oppose!
“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. https://t.co/3lNk3yYBza
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I am FINALLY launching my live show. Streaming every Tues, Thurs, and Sat at 2pm EST. Don’t miss it this Saturday🔥🔥
American Orthodoxy is hosted by Benjamin Michael (formerly Orthodox Luigi) on the YouTube channel RealBenMichael. With a double meaning in the brand, my purest ambition here is for an America that is orthodox in its demographics/values, and Orthodox in its faith. With Philip Ludwell III as the founder of American Orthodox Christianity and our ancient heritage in Alaska and St Augustine, FL, we will baptize this nation and glean from the founding values that which aligns with the true faith. As St Dumitru Staniloae states, our nationalism must be Orthodox, it must be submitted to Christ. Likewise, America has a right to have Orthodoxy that is American in nature. With the intercessions of St. Michael the Archangel may we sanctify this nation’s beautiful heritage☦️🇺🇸
