Muslims have a plan to make America a Muslim nation.
Marxists have a plan to make America a Marxist nation.
Secular Progressives have a plan to make America a Secular Progressive nation.
… but Christians seem to always have a plan to keep Christianity from further influencing our nation by discipling people into either:
1) Political apathy (“God is sovereign, back off”, “we don’t get political, just do evangelism”)
2) Political ambiguity (“Jesus isn’t a Republican or Democrat, neither Right nor Left” = primary application of gospel to culture)
If continued, this will have very predictable (and disastrous) results in coming years, and a few conversations with pastors in deep blue cities / states trying to build churches, pastor people, and raise Christian families will help you realize it.

"Why does nobody run for the school board?"
"Why are the Rotary clubs empty?"
"Why does every town meeting feel like it's run by the same motley assortment of terrible people?"
Because the men who ought be doing so--the successful local men of prominence, typically businessmen and lawyers--came to the conclusion in the mid-20th century that participation in and leadership of civic life was someone else's job.
This is the desire of the so-called conservative to simply "work" rather than do all the other things that keep entropy at bay and ensure things function. Their doing so left open the field to the worst among us: spiteful malcontents
It wasn't always like this.
The planters of the Virginia gentry served as vestryman, justice, militia officer and burgess, usually before he turned thirty and usually for no pay, other than perhaps having some travel expenses covered as a burgess.
It was expected of him, and he expected it of himself: as a man whose success made him privileged, he was duty-bound to be the one to show up and lead
That habit can come back. It ought come back. It starts with showing up to the boring meeting, and being the sort of man to whom others listen. The sort of man whose reputation for success and competence, and cultivated but not overdone and always aesthetically pleasing look makes others want to follow him
This is what the great men we look back to did, and is indeed what their whole soceity was geared toward producing: great men who were great leaders at every level of civic life, from the humblest station at the bottom to the greatest at the top
Re-engaging in that way will be critical if we are to retake our country.

You want to talk about genocide? Christians are being hunted and executed around the world, but y’all aren’t ready to have THAT conversation.

Reinforcing negative neural pathways via therapy or introspection is a recipe for misery. Don’t cut a rut in the road.

Powerful, honest piece from @mattshumer_
I'm already seeing AI draft campaigns, analyze data, and iterate content at levels that would've blown my mind a year ago. The pace is wild, and cognitive work is transforming fast.
That said, I think humans stay indispensable in ways that evolve alongside AI, not vanish. The 'judgment' and 'taste' described emerging in models is still derived from patterns in human data, not lived experience, cultural intuition, or personal stakes. Clients hire us not just for outputs, but for the trust built over conversations, the nuanced read of a room (or the heart and soul of a brand), and the accountability when things go sideways. AI can propose brilliant strategies; humans decide when to push boundaries ethically, pivot on subtle human signals, or own the vision that inspires teams.
We're shifting to 'conductor' roles: directing AI orchestras, refining their direction with real-world context, ensuring outputs align with messy human values, and forging the irreplaceable relationships that turn tools into impact. That's why Idyll has shifted it's focus as a brand, even.
For me personally, the human elements of empathy in storytelling and authentic connection remain the differentiator, even as AI handles the heavy lifting.
This just motivates me to lean in harder.

This should be the number 1 story.
"Investigators found thousands of vials of blood and tissue. Genetically engineered mice designed to carry COVID. Tests showed the vials contained COVID, Hepatitis, and Malaria. Investigators linked the lab to the CCP."

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Tom Homan just ERUPTED in response to the left-wing media using children to protest ICE 🫳🏻🎤
"Why don't you show the funeral of Rachel Morin!? Why don't you listen to the 19 minutes of Laken Riley fighting for her life?!"
"For 19 minutes she fought for every breath, fought to survive. How terrified these young women were to be r*ped and m*rdered. How about THAT?"
"How about we educate these children on President Trump making his country safe again? How about we educate the children on the last administration half a million children were smuggled in this country, they lost track of 300,000 of them, and President Trump found 145,000 of them!"
"145,000 children the last administration wasn't even LOOKING for. Why don't we talk about the quarter million Americans died from fentanyl across the open border?"
"Why don't we talk about the record number of known suspected terrorists across that border? Or the historic increase in s*x trafficking in women and children?"
"Let's talk about that. President Trump's saving lives every day!"
"The border's the most secure we have in the history of this nation. Less women are being r*ped, less people are dying making that journey, and this country's safe again. Let's tell that story!" @RealTomHoman 🔥🔥

I was in Bible college the week before 9/11.
Testimony service. Folding chairs. Fluorescent lights. Mandatory attendance.
Everyone expected the usual: clean stories, safe sins, spiritual résumés.
Then a tattooed giant walked to the front with his wife.
Former heroin addict. Former bouncer.
She’d worked the streets. Met him through her pimp.
Both of them gripping Bibles like flotation devices.
They sang. Badly.
Then he preached for five minutes.
No polish. No structure. No seminary cadence.
The hermeneutics professor winced.
The English teacher checked the clock.
But the altar filled.
Heaven moved while the educated missed it.
That moment never left me.
Because it exposed something most Christians don’t want to admit:
God does His best work in people who are still a mess.
That’s why Jelly Roll scares the industry.
Pills. Prison. Years burned down.
Then he grabbed the Grammy mic and said the one name you’re not supposed to say out loud if you want to keep a career.
“I love you, Lord.”
The crowd cheered.
The suits froze.
They always do.
Because God isn’t finished with him yet.
And unfinished people are dangerous.
Moses wasn’t Moses overnight.
He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Rage took over.
Looked left. Looked right. No witnesses.
So he killed him.
Buried the body in the sand.
Forty years later he’s still running when the bush burns. Still seeing blood on his hands.
“Who am I?” he asks.
God sends him anyway.
Not from murderer to hero.
From murderer to man still being worked on.
Paul didn’t become Paul overnight either.
Stephen preached. Rocks flew. Skulls cracked.
Coats piled at Saul’s feet while he approved.
Years later, after writing half your New Testament, he’s still begging God about a thorn.
God doesn’t say, “You’re finished.”
He says, “My grace is sufficient.”
Your Bible reeks of in-progress redemption.
Exodus doesn’t hide the murder.
Acts doesn’t hide the coats.
KJV. No polish. No PR team.
That tattooed couple went home after chapel.
Monday came. Cravings stayed. Memories stayed.
God stayed.
Jelly Roll will wake up tomorrow with the same demons and the same industry pressure to shut up.
God will still be working.
You’re not disqualified.
You’re under construction.
Same clay. Same Potter. Same wheel.
Build anyway. Fall anyway. Get up anyway.

ICE just arrested an illegal who’s charged with r*ping a minor.
Minnesota refused to honor a detainer request for him so ICE had to go hunt him down.
If Democrat authorities would just hand over criminals, ICE wouldn’t have to raid their streets.

I just figured out why the Minnesota ICE death is bothering me so much.
This liberal woman was willing to take on federal agents, to disrupt ICE operations, in order to protect criminal Somalis.
Obviously, she probably didn't imagine she would be killed. But surely, she must have known that, at the very least, she could be arrested.
She has three kids. So she was willing to be separated from her kids to protect criminal Somalis.
Speaking as a mother, this is insanity. This is not rational thinking.
What it is, instead, is the result of liberal brainrot that convinces progressive women they have more of a duty to nurture and protect poor, brown (criminal!) strangers than their own country, and hell, even their own children.
I am praying for this woman's soul and for her family. But I mean it when I say this type of thinking is almost wholly responsible for the decline of Western civilization.

When you start homeschooling and you see how much you get done and how quickly your kids learn in very little time you quickly come to the realization that public school is essentially a glorified daycare center.

Dear citizens of New York, I urge you to research the concept of "Taqiyya".
This is an Islamic concept allowing Muslims to conceal their true beliefs when talking to non Muslims.
Mamdani is playing yall for a fool. Take a look at Paris and London. Is that really what you want?

Secular therapy: "Let's explore your childhood trauma for 10 years at $200/session."
Biblical counseling: "You're a sinner. So am I. Christ died for both of us. Now let's figure out how to live differently."
One of these produces change.

NONE of the vaccines recommended by the CDC for routine childhood immunization were licensed by the FDA based on long-term, placebo-controlled trials.
Follow-up periods range from just 3 days to 6 months, with most studies lacking a placebo group entirely.
A mass experiment.
