@AmericanPresby @PresbyXian I love it as a window into Early Modern English orthography.

There are a lot of cool features seen just on the first page:

@anglochog Written before modern genetics, I'm sure...

Luther noted how the kind of celibacy imposed by monasteries was unnatural & unsustainable for most, which is why they proliferated scandal.

The kind of celibacy we impose (no marriage until education & career are established at ~30yo) is no less unnatural & unsustainable.

🔥Humanities professors unite w/ STEM faculty, demanding the University of California reinstate the SAT

“We call for the UC Academic Senate and the UC Regents to give up the failed experiment of the last 6 years & return to including both the math & the verbal reasoning components of SAT/ACT as part of undergraduate admissions”

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

Berkeley math professor:

“Today, the more successful a public high school is at preparing its students, the lower its graduates' chances of getting into top UC campuses like Berkeley and San Diego.”

Berkeley admitted 45% of applicants from a high school where nearly 94% of “students failed to meet the state standards in mathematics.”

It admitted less than 14% of applicants from a school where “nearly 100 percent of its students in AP Calculus BC pass the national exam with a perfect score of 5.”

Modern scholars are quick to blame “biblical fundamentalists” for attempting to harmonize the “polyvocal” Bible.

Then they turn around & find contradictions where very compelling harmony exists.

Case & point: Robert Alter’s (otherwise excellent) OT translation, on Prov 26:4–5.

@Abathurchan That 20% still makes them a minority among the elite.

@lueyee It's discouraging to see all these conservative Presbyterian bodies pass such overtures, but I suppose it's not too surprising, seeing as they reflect American public pieties, as mouthed by our politicians and public school curriculum, among others.

Europeans have and are becoming minorities in large parts of their own native homelands.

It is moral blindness to speak about any sort of duty of letting more foreigners in when this development is accelerating.

The real moral imperative is to send those back home who are here.

Ya entraron los votos del Cusco. Oficialmente, no le quedan más bolsas de votos a Sánchez. Aún falta contar algo de Loreto y Ucayali (mayoría para Keiko) y el extranjero, donde Keiko domina con bastante distancia.

Tomando en cuenta los votos de actas impugnadas (63% de Lima y aún más considerando provincias favorables a FP), es virtualmente seguro decir que Keiko será la ganadora.

El modelo asegura al 100% la victoria del fujimorismo y eso lo sabe la izquierda, por eso empezaron con su relato fraudista esperando levantar una falsa indignación en la gente para que hayan presiones, protestas (que ya convocaron) e incluso violencia en las calles. todo con el fin de asustar a los JEE y que decidan favorablemente a sus ilegítimos fines.

Tranquilos que se terminará de confirmar en los JEE y en JNE.

The CA ballot saga just got worse!

I laid a trap and a Contra Costa County government official named Helen Nolan, along with journalists @sara_dinatale + @demianbulwa, walked right into it.

When they put together their hit piece on me in the @sfchronicle (link in replies), they didn't know that I received a SECOND ballot at the same address...but this one was sent to someone no one in my family has ever heard of...despite the fact that we've owned the house continuously since 1962...

As someone who covered the region for a dozen years for the WSJ, and reported in astonishment how even under conservative Pres Ronald Reagan USAID was funding socialist projects in Latin America, I can assure you that this is 💯 accurate.

1/ A good test case might be to ask: by what principle would the PCA argue that say a Catholic or Baptist majority town in Texas cannot strip an FLDS sect—whose religion includes child predation—in their county of certain political rights? If the answer is “natural law,” then

1/ Reading the CN report again, and what **I think** is happening is that there are like three or four different bugbears--race realism, theonomy, Christian nationalism proper, anti-liberalism--being litigated under one rubric. Some of them are religious, some are political,
