When a boy wrote to C.S. Lewis, worried that he loved Aslan the lion more than he loved Jesus, Lewis told him something you would never expect...

Instead of saying the lion was just a character in a book, he told the boy he could not possibly love Aslan more than Jesus. Because Aslan is not a symbol for Christ: according to Lewis himself, Aslan IS Christ.

This is the thing most readers get wrong about Narnia. People call it an allegory, a tale where a lion stands in for Jesus the way a character might stand in for an idea.

Lewis rejected that completely...

In a letter he wrote: "If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity, he would be an allegorical figure." Instead, he explained, Aslan is the answer to a question: "What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia, and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?"

The answer Lewis gave was a lion. And he explained exactly why: "Since Narnia is a world of Talking Beasts, I thought He would become a Talking Beast there, as He became a man here. I pictured Him becoming a lion," Lewis wrote, partly because the lion is the king of beasts, and partly because "Christ is called The Lion of Judah in the Bible."

Once you know this, the story of Narnia changes: the moment Aslan lays down his life on the Stone Table for a traitor, and rises again at dawn, is not like the story of Christ. To Lewis, it is that story, happening in another world. And it is why, in the final chapter of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Aslan tells the children this:

"I am in your world too. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."

Today, after the mass shooting in Minneapolis, we must act.

I agree with Democrats that the time for action is now and thoughts and prayers won’t cut it.

We must gather lawmakers to immediately classify transgenderism as a mental illness that must be treated in an inpatient mental health facility.

Anyone who prescribes puberty blockers should immediately lose their medical license.

Anyone who performs surgeries to transition individuals must be immediately jailed for a minimum of ten years.

Transgenders cannot coexist in polite society any longer.

The CEO of CB has managed to do something seemingly impossible: She got Americans on both sides of the political spectrum to agree on something — the new rebrand sucks.  

When the Board does not know the brand, like the brand, or respect the brand, they hire the wrong CEO who focuses on all the wrong things. 

America does not need another bland, soulless, mediocre restaurant chain.   

Founded in 1969 amid radical social and technological change — Woodstock, the moon landing — Cracker Barrel was that one place designed to stand still, evoking Americana, authenticity, and wholesomeness.  

CB's foolish moves demand the resignation of the CEO and the board leaders who hired her.

Save Cracker Barrel!

NEW DETAILS: There’s been an attempted prison break. A Democrat Senator arrived at a mega prison in El Salvador ready to free a “Maryland dad.” But this “Maryland dad” is a “verified member of MS-13,” and he’s been accused of beating his wife… twice.

Today, we learned much more about Democrats’ “innocent Maryland dad.” He crossed the border illegally through the Texas desert— migrated to Maryland— got pulled over four times there, and was never deported, because it’s a sanctuary state. And he skipped every traffic court hearing. Garcia, in 2019, was arrested in a gang sweep—he was detained in connection to a murder investigation—and was picked up in a frequent gang area. According to the police report, the detective picked him up with three active members of MS-13— one of them ranking members. Officers contacted a reliable informant who confirmed that Garcia was “an active member of MS-13.”

A year later, Garcia’s wife accused him of “domestic violence,” and a temporary protective order was issued by the judge. She told authorities that, “He punched, scratched me on my left eye, leaving me bleeding… he ripped my shorts and shirt off… he grabbed me by my arm… I am afraid to be close to him… I have multiple photos, videos of how violent he could be… and all the bruises that he has left me.”

This is the man who Democrats are defending.

As I watch the JFK files being released, I can’t stop thinking about how CNN never aired a Trump rally live in 5 years except for the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler Pennsylvania.

How did we go from “Trump is going to start WWWIII”…

…to now being angry that Trump is trying to stop WWIII from happening?

And explain it to me like I’m a five year old.

Elon: Look at these SSNs from dead people. They’re probably being used to fraudulently collect benefits.

Experts: Actually, no. We just let illegal immigrants use them to commit identity theft so they can pay taxes.

Public opinion: Wait what.
