If the resurrection didn't happen, Christianity is the greatest lie ever told.
If it did happen, it would be the most important event in human history.
There is no middle ground.
Paul said it himself: "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile." (1 Cor 15:17)
So let's look at the evidence.
And then at what it actually means.
A thread.🧵
Jesus' first miracle wasn't really about running out of wine.
It was about something theologians have argued over for 2,000 years.
The wedding at Cana contains one of the most layered symbols in all of Scripture.
Most people read right past it.
A thread on what it actually means.🧵

The General—you did it again and enlightened us all, just enough to ensure people understand what we’ve been up against for over a century now.
Say no to central banks & reign in the Federal Reserve.

Here’s what many don’t realize about the Declaration of Independence, says @Hillsdale professor Matthew Spalding:
“We have a sense today that somehow [the signers] are just these dainty individuals, sitting around debating and wearing tricorn hats and wigs and writing with quill pens.”
But nothing could be further from the truth, he says.
Those who signed the Declaration were “literally giving up their lives [and] their fortunes—but not their sacred honor,” Spalding says.
John Witherspoon lost his son to a cannonball at Germantown. Francis Lewis’s Long Island estate was bombarded and destroyed, and his wife Elizabeth was imprisoned in terribly harsh conditions until George Washington forced a prisoner exchange for her release. She never recovered.
Robert Morris, one of the richest men in America and the revolution’s chief financier, put his own credit on the line—the equivalent of $32 million in today’s dollars—to keep the Continental Army supplied with what were called Morris notes. He later landed in debtors’ prison and died in obscurity, virtually penniless.
The Declaration was signed by men who knew they might lose everything—and chose to sign anyway.
In a sea of scripted politicians from both sides of the aisle, Rep. Thomas Massie stands out as a breath of fresh air. He’s brutally honest about the political theater in DC calling out the fake fights, backroom deals, and bureaucratic overreach that leave everyday Americans in the dust. While other Republicans and Democrats play their parts in this endless charade, Massie puts America First with real integrity, no Epsteinstrings attached.
I voted against the rule to bring this omnibus forward for a vote.
Here is a breakdown of some of the most ridiculous items included in the omnibus, and some America First items that were not. I offered amendments to correct these errors—all of which were blocked or refused🧵:

Leaves behind:
The destruction of the central bank.
The precedent that finance answers to sovereignty.
The expansion of executive power.
A nation reminded that elites are never permanent.
Proof that an orphan from the American frontier can defy empires.
The Deadly Cost of Ignorance.

I wrote this with genuine hope, to challenge all of us to think more deeply about what’s happening beneath the surface of the immigration debate.
You don’t have to agree with my conclusions.
But I do hope more Americans across the political spectrum will hear it, read it, reflect on it, and ask harder questions about the systems, incentives, and narratives shaping public opinion.
1964, the last year silver was in our coins. Quarters and dimes pre-1965 were 90% silver, 10% copper.
1964 Median Family Income: $6,600.
Price of silver was $1.29 per oz. So the median family income was 5,116 oz of silver per year.
At $100 per oz, that is $511,600 per year.
Even if you go back to 2024 silver prices, the average was $25 per oz, which would have been $127,900 for 5,116 oz of silver. Actual median family income for 2024 was $83,000.
If you wonder why a family needs two incomes to survive now, it is because the govt removed silver from the coins and removed the US dollar from the gold standard (1971).
Those decisions enabled Congress to start running up massive debts and enabled the Fed to start manipulating interest rates and the currency to finance it all.
This is history repeating itself. As the Romans reduced the silver content of their money supply, their empire declined.
Frightening Mafia.
