Jesus gave His life to save me specifically

[John Moody 🇺🇬 @resisfertile]

For most of our kids education, we have used Charlotte Mason.

But... we acknowledged that it has a tendency to produce youth who are strong in literature, history, and more... but weak in science, math, and some other subjects.

So, we addressed the weakness by using Shorman and similar supplemental resources to ensure a more balanced finished product in our kid's educations.

We realized that both classical and CM often produce soft boys, especially because both are heavily ran and taught by women... so we prioritized both hands on stuff for our sons and martial arts as non-negotiable, even over adding in learning music or an instrument.

But you can't do this if you are unwilling to hear the risks and drawbacks of the educational model you have chosen and where it might land you in a decade.

I'm grateful for the people who spoke frankly and directly to and about the weaknesses or issues with the approaches they used so others can improve on them.

[Eric Conn @Eric_Conn]

Let's talk about women and higher education.

First, the argument that women need higher education so they can raise godly sons actually goes back to the French Revolution period. Proto-feminists and revolutionaries sought to destroy Christian families, so they used this nefarious line often: "A woman needs to have a university education outside the home if she is to raise godly sons."

This was a subtle maneuver. What they really wanted was to brainwash the girl whilst away from her Christian father's authority. This is why Marxists and Bolsheviks targeted and infiltrated education. Women off at school are easy prey for leftists.

Second, Scripture is clear that young women should not leave their father's protection/headship, which means his household, until she is passed on to the headship of the husband at the altar. There should not be a period of "single womanhood" wherein she lives outside the authority of a head.

Third, single women should not be encouraged to go get an advanced degree (you get a degree to get a job outside the home, obviously a man's domain, biblically speaking). If her main vocation/calling is motherhood, it's obvious you learn that in a home with a mother, not off at college. Let's be real: College is for training workers in the workforce. Women aren't called to do that.

This whole notion that you should get married, but until then go find a career so you don't waste your time, is not what women are called, biblically, to do. Now, this does not mean she "doesn't work." She can assist her father in myriad ways within the productive household, and her mother as well.

Fourth, young women should be instructed, in line with Paul (1 Tim. 5:14; Titus 2) to continue serving in the household, with headship, under a godly mother. The best place for her to learn how to be a mother is in the home, with a mother.

Fifth, her father should actively seek a husband for her. He plays a pivotal role in vetting suitors, even as Abraham sought a wife for his son, Isaac.

Sixth, when women pursue degrees, rack up debt, and then chase careers, this actually hurts their marriageable status—men would have to inherit a boss babe, debt, etc. They're also far busier advancing in business, which often prohibits them from spending time looking for a spouse. And they become wildly independent, which makes them unsuited for a role in which submission is the main ingredient.

[The Jolly Brawler @TheJollyBrawler]

Gentlemen,

Not every besetting sin in your life is purely a spiritual problem.

The sin is real. Repentance is necessary. But sometimes your body is making the battle harder than it has to be.

Do you battle with anger?
It may be sin.
It may also be sleep apnea.

Do you battle with lethargy?
It may be slothfulness.
It may also be low testosterone.

Do you battle with anxiety?
It may be sinful fear.
It may also be poor sleep, a bad diet, too much caffeine or nicotine, or a nervous system that has been running on fumes for years.

The point is not to excuse sin.

The point is to stop pretending that men are disembodied souls.

You are body and soul. And sometimes the body is dragging the soul into a fight it is too exhausted to win.

Over the last eight years, I have spoken with countless men who were fighting difficult besetting sins they could not seem to overcome.

I have seen men who regularly flew into rages so intense they seemed ready to give themselves a stroke.
The issue was solved with a CPAP machine.

I have seen men who wanted to be hard workers, but could barely drag themselves out of bed.
This was solved when they found that they had low testosterone.

I have seen men with severe brain fog that made them poor fathers, husbands, and businessmen.
This was solved when they discovered that the issue was mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic inflammation, or other underlying health problems.

Many of these men were able to identify the issue with something as simple as a blood panel or a sleep study.

Many were able to improve dramatically with a CPAP, a few peptides, dietary changes, better sleep discipline, or other targeted interventions.

Again, this does not excuse sin.

It simply means that some men are trying to fight spiritual battles while their bodies are collapsing underneath them.

Repent of your sin.

But also get your bloodwork done. Fix your sleep. Clean up your diet. Take your body seriously.

You are not a ghost.

You are a man made of body and soul.

Idk who needs to hear this but a trial by jury only works in a homogeneous society.

The data is very clear on this.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I ordered one pancake in America. The waitress wrote it down and said, "one short stack."

Short. I am a small and humble man. A short stack sounded perfect for me. I waited with a calm heart.

She returned carrying three pancakes, each the size of my face, stacked into a tower, with a block of butter on top sliding down the sides like slow lava.

This was the short one. I did not dare ask what the tall one looked like. Some knowledge a man is not ready for.

I ate for forty minutes. I was not full. I was afraid. The tower did not shrink. I am fairly sure it was growing back faster than I could eat it.

I had to surrender. I left half. In Japan, leaving food is a deep shame. So I leaned in close and apologized to the pancakes directly, in a low voice, one by one.

The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I did not know food could be taken into custody. I declined. I did not want it following me home.
In America, is the short stack truly the small one?
I need time to prepare my spirit before I ever face the tall one.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

Dear small percentage of Boomers who can actually be told things:

Here are some facts, to help you understand what Millennials are trying to tell you.

Here is what the middle-class experience is right now. Not for losers, but for your average hardworking, but unexceptional, dude born in 1992.

- No company pensions. Ever. No job offers this.
- Laid off every 2 to 3 years.
- No vacations. Ever. If you are lucky, you have 10 to 15 days of annual "PTO" (paid time off). But this is not vacation. This is your sick days. You can take a break with whatever's left over.
- If you are not lucky, you have "unlimited" PTO. Which sounds nice, but in practice it means you get sick days and nothing else.
- They pay social security taxes, but they know they will never receive those benefits, because the system will crash first.
- Not promoted. Ever.
- No annual raises. Instead, these are effectively pay cuts, because they don't match inflation.
- Because of this, can only get a raise by changing jobs. Some judicious prevarication about salary history is recommended.
- Good chance you'll have to change careers at least once, possibly more, as industries get rugpulled by offshoring or work visas.
- Total mortgage cost on a median house in 2026 is 104,600 minimum-age-hours. This is 50+ years of full-time work.
- For comparison, a 1972 purchase would be 23,750 minimum-wage-hours, about 11 years of full time work.

What this all adds up to is that Millennials can't buy homes until they are past their child-bearing years.

And, no, scrimping and saving doesn't change that equation. This is with scrimping and saving.

I am not a Millennial. I am GenX, the child of Boomers. I do not need to be told how much Boomers forwent luxuries to save, and how hard they worked. I know exactly how much they did of each. I was there. I saw.

They worked hard at the beginning of their careers, and lived frugally for about 5 years to save up a down payment. After that, things gradually eased up, bit by bit. Until, by retirement, a lot of them had nice fat stock portfolios and multiple rental property investments, and Caribbean cruise holidays.

And this seems, to them, like a fair and natural progression.

But as America has been hollowed out and by a corrupt political machine, those doing the robbing have left the Boomers whole, and placed the burden of that corruption squarely on the backs of younger generations.

For Millennials, there's no light at the end of that tunnel.

Just another tunnel.

And another after that.

They have been standing between Boomers and the reality of the modern economy for 20 years.

At some point, they are going to break.

@resisfertile Thank you. This needs to be said more.

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

The brutal truth is that our entire system relies on abortion

You can’t keep women in the work force without abortion

You can’t maintain the casual sex culture and disrupt family formation without abortion

Women with children find themselves dependent on men, single women find themselves dependent on the state

Women are more likely to take abuse from employers, less likely to demand raises, less likely to oppose their replacement

People have been conditioned to believe they couldn’t function in society without abortion, and at some level we’ve ensured that’s correct

We’re far from the first civilization to base itself on child sacrifice but don’t lie to yourself, that’s exactly what we’ve done

You can look back on the Mayans in horror because they did their sacrifices on an altar but they could never hope to match our level of slaughter

Until the paradigm shifts there will be no popular support for it’s restriction

[bk @SlappyBK]

@LostMyHats @TexasPreacher Is there an example sermon or two we all could hear as a concrete example of what preaching actually should be? I'd like to think I preach, but I'm a product of the air I grew up breathing and maybe I've never heard a real sermon?

[The Jolly Brawler @TheJollyBrawler]

Regarding my post from earlier today:

For those wondering why I think ecclesiology will be an important topic over the next couple of years, allow me to explain:

1. As the denominations continue down the path of wickedness; persecuting RW Brothers, propping up Lefties, hiding sexual sin and physical abuse, creating work arounds to establish female elders……

2. More and more people are coming to realize that they are not able to join NAPARC, CREC, and LCMS churches. Either because they know they will be hunted and forced to uproot their families again. Or because they are convinced that it is sin to commune with these folks.

3. At the same time, faithful Pastors are running into the same issue. They are finding that they do not want to be associated with the wickedness taking place in their denominations. Nor do they want to be under their leadership. So they are removing their churches from the denominations and going independent.

4. This naturally leads faithful Brothers to ask questions:
-How do I know that this church has legitimate authority to preach God's word and administer the sacraments?
-Without the approval of a denomination or seminary, how do I know this is an actual church?
-What is the essence of a true church body?

5. These are good questions. @bonifacegroup has worked to provide clear, biblical, historical, and confessional answers to just these questions.

This question is already coming to the front of many discussions. But over the next few years, it will become increasingly important.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.

The right stack is always taller.

On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.

I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.

The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.

He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."

I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.

The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.

I waived it.

I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.

Let me show you what I processed this year.

January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.

February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.

March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.

I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.

In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.

I want to tell you about the soldier again.

He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.

In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:

Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.

None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.

Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.

My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.

The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.

She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.

I want to tell you about the fine.

$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.

Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.

On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.

The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.

The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.

The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.

The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.

He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.

The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.

In my field, we call this self-regulation.

The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.

Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.

I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.

As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.

My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue.

On April 21st, the left screen moved first.

I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug.

At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy.

On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me.

At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire.

Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83.

I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags.

My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports.

The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026:

Reviewed.

That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.

Let me show you my flags.

March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it.

March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it.

April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it.

April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it.

April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it.

That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one.

The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March.

Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012.

Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence.

Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets.

The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade.

I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email.

The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action.

One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared.

One account is a coincidence. But there were six.

Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000.

My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger.

March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes.

The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event.

The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting."

Then the White House sent the email again.

I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread.

I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated.

But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed.

Zero prosecutions.

As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.

I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations.

The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still.

In my field, we call this price discovery.
