Hey @CoxComm my internet has been out for hours since I got home from work today. What’s going on and how do I get credit back for not having internet today?

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.

This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.

Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.

Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.

Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.

Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.

Yes, this obviously should be the policy. In fact dual citizens should be barred from federal office entirely.

The Brightline, a newly *privately* constructed, owned, and operated Florida railway from Miami to Orlando, is the most successful infrastructure story today in America. A thread on how it got done, how nice it is, and how it plans to replicate its success across America 🇺🇸 🧵

[Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec]

Starting in a few months, the federal govt will ban US citizens from flying domestically without a ‘REAL ID’

But we allow unvetted people to vote, reside, and work in multiple states without proper identification or authorization

This is insanity

@ViralNewsNYC @Cernovich I think we have different definitions of “large quantity”

[Michael Gill @michaelgilly07]

@JeremyTate41 Right off the bat, we sell it. Let someone turn it into a large gas station or TJ Maxx

[Honest Youth Pastor @HonestYPTweets]

People have so tied their emotional state to the ability to kill their own children that they are having mental breakdowns.

This is the impact of sin. Satan uses lies to cause division not reconciliation.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Every state should copy Florida’s vote counting policies. Took 45 minutes after polls closed to take the result! Every. Single. One. No excuses. Has to happen by 2028. We can’t keep having election weeks.

An underrated argument for libertarianism is that you’d experience less anxiety about elections if the state had less power

There's a story behind the squirrel story everyone's missing.

A man had his home searched for 5 hours until officials found his pet squirrel, which they took and then killed.

The problem isn't that government broke the law, the problem is that it *didn't* break the law

They're zero accountability – It's just one lie after another.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

This is brilliant. Very difficult to explain something like this thoroughly and succinctly in less than three minutes. Charlie absolutely nails it.

10 Thoughts on the Olympic Opening Blasphemy

1. There is no neutrality - secularism is a lie. You will either serve the Living God or some other false god. You will either love God the Father and His only Son Jesus Christ or else you will hate Him and His people. And the same is true for nations and cultures. Nations will serve Christ or demons. And if they refuse to serve Christ, if they insist on neutrality and secularism, they are insisting on demons and destruction in the long run.

2. Proverbs says that all who hate wisdom love death. That death will be pictured in celebrating obesity, sexual suicide through perverse fruitlessness, venereal diseases and STDs, and behind it all, the corpses of millions of babies mutilated and tossed away in the trash. You cannot reject the wisdom of the Creator and remain sane for very long. The madness of Darwinism is coming to fruition. If we evolved from pond scum, life is meaningless and why can’t we evolve into whatever gender or species we want? And why can't truth, beauty, and justice evolve into whatever we want?

3. When people hate God they deface His image. God’s image is revealed in the glorious duality and binary of male and female. The neutering and “transing” of the image of God is an attack on God Himself. Marriage for life between one man and one woman is the central picture of this harmony. Every attack on marriage and the marriage bed is therefore an attack on the living God and His image in man.

4. There will always be blasphemy laws. And inversely, this means that there will always be some gods it is permissible to mock. But if the opening ceremony had featured a mockumentary moment of Mohammed and Islam, the Parisian streets would be full of violence right now. All false religions ultimately turn violent because their gods are deaf, dumb, blind, and powerless. The adherents of false religions must use force and violence to accomplish their ends (and then credit their false god, sometimes named “justice” or “equality”). Christians are not rioting in the streets because we serve the Living God, but because He is the true God, we want His name honored in the public square. And if His name is not honored, it will ultimately be mocked.

5. Of course pagans will pagan, but this blasphemy should still grieve us since France was once a Christian nation and because many will be crushed by this worldview. “Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked who forsake your law” (Ps. 119:53). There was at least one child in that table orgy, and that was no accident. Think pedophilia. Think chemical castrations and mastectomies, and remember: if children can consent to sex change operations, they can consent to sexual relationships. That is the play. But also think adultery, divorce, abortion, and the destruction of families feeding more addictions and crime. The open mockery of Christianity is also a warmup for persecution of Christians. While we must be willing to be persecuted, we must not willingly allow our world to prepare to do that to us or our children or grandchildren. Loving our enemies means trying to stop them from greater acts of evil.

6. Some are asking: do we need Christian revival or do we need to regain power and crush this? And the answer is “yes.” And true revival would crush this because repentance means putting the old man to death, it means private and public repentance of sin. Unfortunately, “revival-ism” has come to mean vague, private, spiritual feelings in a tent instead of wholesale reformation. But seizing political power apart from the Holy Spirit can only provide a momentary check to this kind of evil before joining the evil. As I always say, don’t join the French Revolution.

7. Speaking of evil, there is clearly something demonic about this. The fact that this deep confusion was presented as a mockery of the Last Supper indicates that they have a particular target of hate: Christ and His disciples. The demons came out screaming and taunting when Jesus came in the gospels. And to some extent, the fact that the mockery is becoming more and more explicit, may indicate a growing fear on the part of the demons. There is a growing Christian consensus that secularism is a dead end (literally). But to the previous point: You cannot defeat evil with evil. We must overcome evil with good, which includes good blasphemy laws, good cops and magistrates, and good criminal penalties for breaking the law, all grounded in God’s good law.

8. We should not miss the fact that despite the evil, God is using this to turn some people to Himself. More than one person has pointed out that the visceral hatred of Christ and Christianity led them to faith in Christ or back to the faith. Remember, it was while the prodigal son was starving for pig pods having wasted his father’s inheritance that he remembered the goodness of his Father’s house. The Christian West has blown our inheritance on all manner of hookers and booze, and therefore this is a moment for Christians to preach the gospel clearly. This is why we’re hosting https://t.co/beDPFHobbk

9. This spectacle is also incredibly ugly and silly. Remember the old adage that it ain’t over till the fat lady sings? Well, this is pretty near the end and the bottom of the barrel. And when the nations rage and plot vain things, like the builders of Babel constructing a tower to Heaven, God sits in heaven and laughs (Ps. 2). So should we. In the long run stupidity doesn’t work. And it’s just weird and gaudy.

10. In addition to registering your thorough disdain and vowing to do everything you can to see nothing like this replicated, especially in your neighborhood, redouble your efforts to love your wife and kids and be faithful in your church and callings. Obedient love is at war with all disobedient love. Obedient love drives out the disordered loves of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Obedient love does justice, loves mercy, and walks humbly with God. Obedient love is altogether lovely.

Why does Paris look the way it does?

Well, until the year 1853 it was a diseased and overcrowded Medieval city — then the biggest urban renovation in history was announced.

This is the story of how Paris was transformed into the world's most popular city...

Guys illegals can’t vote in our elections except for when they can.

How dare Republicans notice that illegals can vote and try to ban something that’s not happening but is actually happening sometimes?!

The mental gymnastics here are wild

[LibertyLense @libertyLense]

@MattWalshBlog This new law absurdly prohibits Christians from reading certain sections of the Bible under the guise of combating antisemitism. It's a blatant infringement on freedom of speech and religious expression.
