@lifeinlight14@amnesty@hrw Regardless what you think of the theology of the church, this is religious persecution. Haven’t we gotten past this as a society?
David French just got fooled by a satire account named after the evil organization in C.S. Lewis’s “That Hideous Strength” (the NICE) that is literally communicating with demons in the book 😂😂😂
Our nation was born at great cost. The Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Few today better uphold that sacred trust than the men and women of the @USMC, a force that has preserved freedom for generations.
@VP here reflects on the proud tradition of the Marine Corps as it marks 250 years of service to God and Country. We are honored to join @WhiteHouse and @usedgov in producing this series celebrating America as she nears her own 250th year.
One hundred sixty-two years ago today, Abraham Lincoln rose on the fields of Gettysburg and delivered a few spare sentences that set the American mind toward its first principles. In just 272 words, he bound the nation’s terrible suffering to the promises set by our founding fathers and charged the living to ensure that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
As we remember the Gettysburg Address today, we rededicate ourselves to the task Lincoln set before our nation. That the burden, and the privilege, of preserving America’s experiment in liberty now falls to us.
We've just learned that @amrenewctr, along with numerous other conservative organizations and politicians, had its records subpoenaed by the Biden Administration.
This could not have been part of any J6 investigation, as @amrenewctr did not exist on January 6th, 2021. There would be no reason at all to subpoena any record.
The Biden Administration weaponized the federal government to spy on and strike at their political opponents.
Those responsible must be swiftly punished. Those who refuse to condemn this must be kept as far from power as possible. Anything less is a failure of justice and encourages this to keep happening.
I've been disavowed by the Boston College Republicans chapter for a speech I gave last week.
I paid my own way in the hopes of recruiting more BC grads to participate in @AmericanMoment's programs.
You can be controversial or you can be a coward. Below is the infamous speech.
This isn’t my strong suit and I don’t even know how to begin to put into words the loss I am feeling right now over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie wasn’t just a friend — he was like a little brother to me - and to millions of people around the world - he was a true inspiration.
He was one of the most courageous, principled men I’ve ever known, and he lived every day with purpose. His faith in God was unshakable, his love for Erika was inspiring, and the way he adored and cared for his two beautiful kids showed the kind of man he truly was.
Charlie dedicated his life to something bigger than himself. He fought tirelessly for this country, for the values that make America great, and for the next generation. The impact he had on young people — reaching them in masses, giving them courage to stand up, to think for themselves, and to fight for freedom — is immeasurable. There is no question that Charlie’s work and his voice helped my father win the presidency. He changed the direction of this nation.
Charlie was never a threat to anyone. He was civil, he was kind, he listened and responded with respect. The only “threat” he ever posed was that he was incredibly effective. He was a powerful messenger of truth, and people heard that truth. That’s what made him a target.
This loss is absolutely devastating — not only for Erika and the kids, but for our country. We’ve lost a leader, a fighter, and a man whose character and conviction were rare. Too rare. To think that his life was cut short by a brutal, heinous, evil act is beyond comprehension. It is horrible and it is heartbreaking.
Moments like this remind us just how fragile life is. We can’t wait to tell people how much they mean to us — we can’t admire them in silence. Charlie knew he was loved, but I want to say it again: he was a brother to me, and I will carry that with me forever.
I know Charlie’s legacy doesn’t end here. He poured into millions of young people who will carry forward the torch he lit. He built something that will outlast him, because it was grounded in faith, in truth, and in courage. And as his friend, I will never forget him. I’ll honor him by loving boldly, speaking truth without fear, and continuing his spirit of courage. His fight lives on in all of us who loved him.
This is an unimaginable loss. For me, for his family, for everyone who loved him, and for America. Rest in peace, brother. You will be missed more than words can ever say — but your legacy will never be forgotten and we will keep fighting the good fight.
Yaron Lischinsky was the finest friend I’ve ever had, brilliant, kind, and endlessly thoughtful. A devout Christian and a gifted linguist, he spoke German, Hebrew, and Japanese. He was full of curiosity and always brimming with ideas. I don’t think we ever had a conversation that didn’t leave me inspired to write something new.
He loved America. He was excited about the future, about finally visiting Texas, and about the life he and his beloved fiancée were building together. I was supposed to meet her today.
They are both gone. And the loss is immeasurable. The world has lost two extraordinary souls. And I have lost a dear friend who made every moment brighter.
Alasdair MacIntyre, a giant in the field who shaped academic philosophy for a generation of scholars, has died.
God rest his soul.
