Troparion for the New Martrys of Russia, “In joy the Russian Church forms a choir, praising her New Martyrs and Confessors: Hierarchs and priests, royal Passion Bearers, right-believing princes and princesses, venerable men and women and all Orthodox Christians, who during the days of godless persecution laid down their life for faith in Christ, and …
I began reading “The Land We Love” on the long flight back to the U.S. from Helsinki last January. My family and I had been on a three-week vacation in Russia, and our experiences gave me such a keen insight into the dramatic history and resilience of the Russian people, especially among the rekindled and …
In addition to courting “Hispanic Americans” (as described in my last post Open-borders “Bumper”), Jacob Hornberger is also targeting black voters in his bid for the Libertarian Party nomination for president. The diversity force is strong with this one. It’s a black thing Hornberger says the Drug War is “racially bigoted” and that he will …
Many modern thinkers whom I respect – most specifically historian Tom Woods, Antiwar.com’s Scott Horton, comedian Dave Smith, and the venerable Ron Paul – are rallying behind Jacob Hornberger for the Libertarian Party’s nomination for president. The Future of Freedom Foundation founder and former trial attorney told Woods on a recent podcast that his theme is …
The “Ok Boomer” meme has been an ongoing joke in alternative media for a while now, but corporate media just recently caught wind of it and predictably had a tizzy, saying it “marks the end of friendly generational relations.” “You can’t stereotype like that,” lectured the apparatchicks while tightly clutching their pearls. “Those seniors deserve …
Since I mentioned St. John Chrysostom in my last blog, Blind support, I thought I’d post a research paper that my oldest son wrote last spring for his homeschool writing class. He worked tirelessly to craft an essay that could give readers an in-depth glimpse into the amazing man, his gift of oration and persuasive …
Juxtaposing every ill, both past and present, to the South is big business. It can earn you political capital, as well as high-value virtue-signaling points in other spheres of influence. There are varied reasons to take this easy and lazy path, the most obvious being that some folks just hate Dixie and want to make …
“Nothing more detestable does the earth produce than an ungrateful man.” — Ausonius “I think it is a fascinating opportunity to rebrand ourselves,” said Winston-Salem Council Member John Larson. This occurred at a recent meeting held to discuss removing the word “Dixie” from the name of the Dixie Classic Fair. Indeed, all the usual suspects …
So, smart moms in two homeschool social-media groups of which I’m a member are super-excited about Hillsdale College’s free “Constitution 101” course. “Hillsdale’s conservative, so it must be teaching Christian-centered history,” they say. “Hillsdale doesn’t accept grants from the federal government or participate in federal financial-aid or student-loan programs. How principled,” they opine. “Rush Limbaugh …
“Criticizing Judaism is not anti-Semitic. Criticizing the policies of the state of Israel is not ant-Semitic. Criticizing the evil that some Jews do is not anti-Semitic,” wrote Father John Whiteford. “Lumping all Jews together, when criticizing the evils that some Jews do is anti-Semitic.” Just as this Orthodox Christian priest so pointedly explains, it’s okay …
