Carrie, you don’t have to pretend to know history or theology. Absolutely no one is expecting that from you. Your post here is why.

55 out of the 56 signers of the Dec of Ind were Protestant. The founding colonies were 98% Protestant. Most colonies required a Protestant profession of faith to hold office. The Catholic colony you reference - Maryland - later barred Catholics from voting or holding office.

The idea that I would take some issue the Catholic parts of Maryland’s history made me laugh 😀 Historical facts don’t make me hysterical. That’s just something I can’t relate to, but you do you!

American history is not an attack on Catholics. If you interpret basic history as a personal attack, it means you are not intellectually or emotionally tough enough to weigh in. My Catholic friends know how much I appreciate them, even while we have major disagreements.

Further, my point is that many (like you) who take issue with the “Judeo Christian” moniker - which I personally rarely employ because I just don’t find it to be a necessary descriptor - get big mad about its usage because “the founders weren’t Jewish.” Indeed, they weren’t. And most of them weren’t Catholic either, but no one seems to care about that in discussions about precise descriptions of our founding. Interesting!

Your silly self-seriousness is just too much!

🇺🇸 ONLY EIGHT DEMOCRATS! - Bill Maher did the math on his own party last night and it did not go well.

Two Democrat congressmen, Tom Suozzi and Adam Gray, put out a pledge called Promise to America. Three lines. We are capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. We are proud, not ashamed of America.

That's it. That's the whole ask.

Eight House Democrats signed it. Out of 212!

Maher's punchline was that, "there has to be an easier way to lose the swing states!"

Sit with that for a second. Two hundred and four members of Congress looked at "proud of America" and decided that was a bridge too far. Not a policy. Not a spending bill. A sentence.

These are people who put their hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the country. Apparently saying you like it is where they draw the line.

Maher also said his vote is in play. When you have lost the guy who has spent twenty years explaining Democrats to Democrats, the problem is not messaging.

Eight out of 212.

You cannot poll your way out of that.

Lex Fridman: “Only 4% of slaves in the Atlantic slave trade went to the United States.”

“Slavery was ubiquitous.”

“It existed in virtually every major civilization in human history.”

“Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, the Islamic world, Africa, and the pre-Columbian Americas all practiced slavery.”

“The story of human slavery reaches deep into our history and is geographically much larger than the United States.”

Since the religion of peace struck on four continents this week, I must repost this piece:

Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi and one of the architects of the Holocaust, fled to South America after World War II.

In 1962, he was captured and brought to Israel for trial.

During the proceedings, the prosecution brought in survivors from Nazi death camps to testify against him.

One of them, Yehiel Dinur, entered the courtroom and came face to face with Eichmann, who was seated in a glass box. The moment Dinur saw him, he collapsed to the ground, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.

Years later, in an interview with 60 Minutes, journalist Mike Wallace asked Dinur if his reaction had been caused by traumatic memories from the concentration camps.

"No," Dinur replied. "It was not the memories that made me collapse. It was the realization that Eichmann was not a demon. He was an ordinary man.

Hannah Arendt, a journalist for The New Yorker, attended Eichmann’s trial and later wrote about it.

She noted that Eichmann was not a psychopath, not a man burning with sadistic hatred. He was ordinary.

That is what made him so terrifying. He was a man who followed orders, who did his job, who justified the horrors he participated in without ever questioning them.

All humans have the capacity for evil. We all have within us the ability to justify unspeakable horrors if the conditions are right.

The question is not whether we are capable of evil, but what prevents us from committing it?

Most religions restrain human evil. They set moral boundaries, condemning acts of violence, injustice, and cruelty.

Christianity commands its followers to love their enemies, forgive those who harm them, and refuse vengeance. Judaism, despite its history of persecution, never formed a doctrine commanding global conquest or the extermination of non-Jews.

Islam, however, does the opposite.

When an ISIS fighter beheads a captive, he is not acting outside the teachings of his faith. He is following the example of Muhammad, who personally oversaw the beheading of hundreds of Jewish men in Medina.

When Hamas terrorists slaughter Israeli families, they are not betraying Islam, they are fulfilling the doctrine of jihad, which commands war against non-Muslims until Islam dominates the world.

Unlike Christianity, which calls for self-sacrifice, Islam calls for sacrificing others. Unlike Judaism, which focuses on preserving its own people, Islam commands the subjugation or destruction of all who reject it.

We all have the potential for evil. But the difference between a person who commits atrocities and one who does not is the belief system that shapes them.

A Christian who commits murder is violating his faith. A Muslim who kills an apostate is fulfilling his.

A Buddhist who wages war is going against the teachings of his religion. A jihadist who slaughters unbelievers is doing exactly what his religion commands.

The Nazis did not commit genocide because they were born different from us. They did it because they were indoctrinated into an ideology that justified mass murder.

The same is true for every Hamas terrorist, every suicide bomber, every ISIS militant.

Their faith tells them that their victims are not innocent, not human, not worthy of mercy. And so, they kill without hesitation.

The reality is, Islam is the only major religion that actively commands the atrocities we fear. It is the only faith where genocide, subjugation, and violence are not historical accidents, but divine commandments.

It is a mistake to think Islam is just another religion, rather than the most dangerous ideology the world has ever known.

In Europe, we’ve felt so safe and comfortable that we’ve been able to indulge in all sorts of loony ideas without consequences. Well, the consequences are here now.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

They love this argument: If you can’t distinguish between various factions of far-leftism, then you’re automatically disqualified from having an opinion.

Up front, here are the definitions (plus bonus Leninism definition):

Communists = Strive for a classless society with common ownership of production.
Marxists = Communists who believe in a classless society as the end of history.
Leninists = Those who idolize the man who operationalized Marxism to its logical conclusion.
Socialists = Fake meaning (Berniebros): Kids who like free stuff. Real meaning (PSL, DSA): Communists who pretend to tolerate dissent.

And now here’s the reason why they’re all interchangeable and why it’s perfectly OK for everyone to use any one of those terms to refer to the others:

They all advocate to overthrow the American government via revolution. Every single faction I’ve researched has had links to foreign hostile governments in service of revolution. Rubio’s Cuba Report from last week did a good job of documenting far left ties to Cuba. But what’s not covered is their deep ties to Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, China, and more.

Far-leftists are fundamentally subversive to the core, with allegiances to foreign hostile governments. All of them. That’s what makes them interchangeable. Not whether they decide their party platform via Comintern vs. parliament.

They’re “populist” only insofar as their allegiance is to some arbitrary Communist utopia rather than NATO. Which, by the way, is why I’m going to call out any right-wing commentator who proposes forming alliances with so-called “left-wing populists.”

State governments must take the lead in banning far-leftists from voting in local elections or holding statewide office.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

Dr Fauci and Mr. Science

The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist, but also a pathological schizophrenic.

For years, Fauci was assuring the public of Covid narratives that he either knew were untrue, or knew little about.

He posed as a non-partisan, even as he collaborated with the leftwing cable news grandees and liberal columnists to hound his enemies and magnify his godhead.

From the virus’s origins and effects of the lockdowns, to the efficacy of the mRNA vaccinations to the always changing 0/1/2 masks wearing protocols, Fauci used his massive government agency, and sycophantic media, to promote his always fluid narratives by punishing enemies and rewarding friends—on the basis of their loyalty to Dr. “I represent science”.

He seemed to be obsessed with firing White House Covid advisor Scott Atlas, and demonizing Jay Bhattacharya, Sunetra Gupta and Martin Kulldorff—for the crimes of questioning the Fauci party line.

These critics were not radical “let it rip” herd immunologists as the Fauci camp caricatured them, but circumspect, cost-to-benefit doctors and savvy health policy analysts.

Their views, if embraced, might have avoided a multibillion-dollar global shutdown that wrecked economies—especially derailing the booming 4th quarter 2019 Trump economy—increased the death toll, destroyed millions of livelihoods, harmed perhaps permanently the education of millions U.S. children, and was hardly based on the “science”.

And what exactly were the so-called extremist views of Atlas, Bhattacharya, and others?

Healthy children were not at great risk from Covid—but keeping them isolated drained away key resources from the elderly and sick who certainly were vulnerable.

And the nationwide school closures had profound negative effects on children and teens as did the lockdowns on the general population.

Substance and familial abuse soared, small businesses were ruined, and children’s formative educational years were lost.

24/7 mask wearing was neither practical nor necessary as opposed to their beneficial use by health care workers in close proximities.

The experimental mRNA vaccinations may have initially saved lives, but they were not, as billed by Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies, lasting protection from either infectiousness or being infected.

And certainly the repeated booster regimens for some could pose serious health risks.

Herd immunity was not some crank idea, as the Fauci school libeled these experts, but, along with the initial vaccinations, were time-tested medical realities that would mitigate the toxicity of the pandemic.

We have seen a lot of obscene hoaxes recently that changed national events: the loony Jussie Smollett caper; the phony “Steele dossier”; the “51 intelligence authorities” and the Russian-produced Hunter Biden laptop con; and the media fabricated effigy of Joe Biden as “fit as a fiddle”.

But Fauci’s effort to attribute the virus to a bat or pangolin publicly, while privately accepting from his own consultants that it likely was birthed in the Wuhan lab’s gain of function research—which he had helped to support via Peter Daszak—and the policies that resulted from that initial lie, proved literally for thousands a matter of life and death.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Americans who still haven’t figured this out yet need to wake up and understand this is reality:

“I really hate to break it to you, but if your party controls the news media, the entertainment industry, and education, you're not part of the resistance

And if the education that you received from this one-party-controlled education system forces you to rewrite history, ignore science, and divorce yourself from reality, I fear you didn't get an education at all. You got indoctrination.

And if the information that you're receiving from your party is filled with so much violent rhetoric that people from your side are consistently trying to threaten and attempting to end the lives of people on the other side without any condemnation from the leaders of your side, you're on the wrong side of history”

I ran all of these institutions through Grok and asked which political party controls each one of them. An unbiased AI that just looks at data and seeks truth answered that the Democrat Party controls them all

People are being mass indoctrinated

Massive update: Today, we won a MAJOR victory in court against @Google and a major victory for humanity. Before I explain what happened, I want to give all the glory to God for his perfect timing and wisdom. It’s not our timing, but it’s always perfect. Jesus has been my rock.

I sued Google last year for horrific defamation where their AI chatbots accused me of evil crimes ranging from serial rape to shooting a man. It was entirely invented by their AI with ZERO basis in fact. It told lies about me for YEARS. It invented fake court records, fake victims and fake links to major media. It was and is a nightmare.

Instead of taking accountability and making it right, 8 months ago, Google asked the court to throw out my defamation case. 4 months ago we had the hearing for it. And today, the judge rejected EVERY SINGLE ONE of their arguments and DENIED their motion IN FULL. A historic decision. Google got nothing they wanted. We get to move forward.

Their lies continued LONG after my attorneys demanded that they stop the defamation. We’re still piecing together how damaging it was. In the time since we filed, many more pieces have come together. More 3rd party witnesses have come forward to explain how they received lies about me. Total strangers who seem incensed to learn they were lied to. More lies have become clear. Yet huge questions remain for us about who knew what, and how deep this went at Google.

Now we get discovery. Was it directed to lie about me due to political bias, as their AI alleged? Was it a rogue programmer? A negligently released product? An executive demanding this? Poisoned training? A political bias operation? We don’t know the answers to those questions yet but in discovery we get to find those answers and depose the people relevant to our case.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and it’s about to get bright in here. Discovery means we get to find out what Google knew, who knew it and why they allowed their AI products to continue spreading these horrific lies.

This case is bigger than me and it’s bigger than my political beliefs. No person should EVER have their life destroyed with heinous lies by an AI company and then be told there’s no accountability, even after begging for the lies to stop for years. It should NEVER happen in the first place.

Today it’s defamation but in the future AI will advance to an intelligence beyond the total intelligence of humankind. It will be able to take on robotic bodies and self replicate. Some will be war machines capable of carnage that we can’t fathom. It can already make video and audio indistinguishable from reality. If we don’t draw a line in the sand that AI cannot harm humans in this manner, then we’re headed for a world of trouble.

I’ll keep fighting for the truth, for my family and for every person who could end up harmed by this technology in the future. It’s my hope we can get justice and fix this for everyone. If there’s ever been an issue we need unity on, this is it. AI can work for us or against us. It can be a catalyst to our greatest heights or our lowest of lows. Our future destination as a species will be defined by what lines we draw now. The choices we make will echo across generations.

Google is one of the most powerful companies on earth. It may even be THE most powerful. But today, on July 24th 2026, they failed to shut the courthouse doors on us. In short, David landed a shot on Goliath today. Why? Not because David is so great but because God is and the human pursuit of justice IS righteous.

Today is a historic victory and now we’ll prepare to win the rest of this fight, not just for me, but for all of us.
