I just left the ARC conference, where so many speakers lamented the decline of the West and attributed it to spiritual causes. I agree the West has a spiritual malady. It's called ingratitude. It's feeling entitled to the miracle all around us and thus miserable and empty.

"Is this all there is?" he texts from a lie-flat seat in the front on a 787 taking him across the world in a few hours. The message gets there fast because the plane is in near-constant contact with satellites that provide high-speed Internet literally anywhere and that you can't even outrun at 0.90 Mach.

We complain about spiritual decline while absolutely nothing prevents us from pursuing whatever spiritual path we want, or inviting people to come participate in one with us. There are zero impediments except our own willingness to see that we're in a living miracle and our own ingratitude.

Not one of the overwhelming majority of us will ever face actual food insecurity. We've never wondered if we'll need to boil our shoes to feed our children. We blame a world that gives us everything instead of realizing we're so entitled we won't even look for depth. We don't even have to get off the couch to find it, though maybe we should. It's in our phones if we'd just look.

I agree that there are elements of decline in the West, and that perhaps there are spiritual causes, but I think those start with each of us being unwilling to accept and be grateful for our inheritance and our incredible bounty.

I disagree that with the diagnosis, though, ultimately. We're doing amazing things people refuse to recognize, and we've been attacked by Western Marxist darkness until we've learned only to be critical about everything we have. We're not declining. We're being poisoned, and in our cushy ingratitude, we can refuse the tainted cup.

Elon created 110,000+ jobs while trying to solve civilizational problems in multiple fields (cars, energy, space).

Zohran studied African marxism and lived off his parent’s trust fund into his 30s.

He’s just a communist rich kid who hates rich people who aren’t communists.

Meir Dagan, the former Mossad chief, explained it simply: a car has 25,000 parts, and if even 100 are missing, it doesn’t move. A nuclear program has far more moving pieces, and Mossad’s job is to make sure Iran never has all of them.

That’s exactly what they’ve done for decades through sabotage, disruptions, and targeted operations.

So yes, Iran has been “months away” for years. That’s why Netanyahu kept warning about it. The fact that Iran still doesn’t have a bomb isn’t proof he was wrong. It’s proof the strategy has been working.

And I’ll say this: the fact that someone who was in charge of our counterterrorism can’t reach that conclusion on their own makes me, as a young father, lose sleep thinking about the bullet we dodged with someone in that role who can’t connect the dots.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

And splashdown!

America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely.
Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars.

This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next.

And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you.

Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

They will be obscure history. The forgotten crew. But hundreds of years, when everyone remembers Armstrong, and the first people on mars. Some will look in-between, and find the crew that relit the fire. They will find the obscure nature of their deeds much more powerful.

Coming to believe ~90% of the political differences among Christians boil down to a failure to distinguish between the Biblical roles of the individual, the church, and the State.

No, God did not command governments to forcibly redistribute wealth.

Yes, God commanded Christians as individuals to practice charity.

Individual Christians in Acts “gave willingly and not under compulsion.”

Christians in Acts did not vote for the Emperor to increase the marginal tax rate and call that “generosity.”
