.@JohnHMcWhorter cites our friends @HdxAcademy on how academics fear for their career if they do not conform to orthodox views. Thank you for bringing attention to this important issue. https://t.co/n8QVDAWHgm

If, as appears, the shooting victim in Portland was targeted because of his politics, then we've got a political murder--an assassination. Whether the victim's politics were right, left, or center is irrelevant. An assassination is an assault on an individual and on the republic.

We need to recover the Platonic sense that there is only any truth at all because of the reality of the good. Today we have it back to front: we think there are definitely truths and the good just maybe.....no wonder there is no longer any certain truth either.

When people say “there’s no such thing as cancel culture” it reminds me of season 1 episode 5 when Tony Soprano tells his daughter “There is no mafia.”

"Never give up, but never give in to bitterness,” @repjohnlewis told us on the 2019 @FaithandPolitic pilgrimage. What courage, what a national treasure, what a loss.

By tying Western power to an extreme mode of liberal capitalism, Britain and America have endangered the entire reputation and future of Western civilisation as a series of events reveals (Iraq war, financial crash, Covid-handling disaster). We have to change course.

Inability to get married, stay married, and raise children is the source of a lot of our troubles—maybe most of our troubles.

But what’s the cause of this scourge?

The principal cause is liberalism: A society that knows little and teaches less about God, honor, nation, family.

I just went to my neighbors house and we let our dogs play in the backyard.

Where do I report for re-education?

My thanks to @Peter_Wehner, who interviewed me for @TheAtlantic and did a better job of making sense of my work, and linking it to today, than I could have done myself

I’m seeing more and more stories of American (and Australian) universities failing to defend basic principles of open expression on their own campuses for fear of offending Chinese government. This is completely wrong and shortsighted. https://t.co/3saOAK9yzT h/t @GabrielRossman
