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 …
Did y’all catch Ben Shapiro’s diatribe in Cal a few weeks ago? It’s utterly deceitful and petty, but so beautifully illustrates the war on true conservatism as waged by neoconservatives who seek to conserve absolutely nothing. Here are some of the best tricky gems from the king of contradictions: Don’t act like victims, alt-righters. But …
November 21 is the Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos. We Orthodox celebrate this event, when as a small child Mary was brought by her parents to the Jerusalem Temple to be raised among the consecrated virgins in service of God until the time of marriage. The Temple community, headed by Zacharias (father of …
I used to be Protestant. Its teachings are what helped school me away from atheism and bring me much closer to the light of Christ than I’d been since I was a Catholic-church-going girl in my youth. You know, small children really do have such a faithful and pure belief in God, that makes us …
My children recently re-read C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” for our homeschool book club. In today’s class, part of our discussion focused on courage and how it isn’t a feeling, but is rather a behavior. We decided that good people will find they have untapped courage and fortitude when faced with …
I was at the grocery store this weekend, looking for a fun new beer, when I stumbled upon this. My first thought was to try this tempting blueberry wheat, in spite of its cheesy name. I’ve come to realize that there is no avoiding the fact that hipsters, hippies, and other varieties of heathens truly …
U.S. Congressman Dan Crenshaw has been pretty twitchy and triggered lately. The cause? American-firsters known as Groypers (fans of 21-year-old YouTuber Nick Fuentes) simply asking the Republican probing and legitimate questions about his voting record and his neocon-leaning views. Crenshaw’s strategy? Join forces with the apostate “Christian-Zionist” organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Uh, yeah, …
“No Nut November” is an online pledge, in which young non-leftist men are making a promise to steer clear of internet porn, as well as abstain from masturbating for the entire month. It may have a nasty name, but it’s a highly admirable goal that should be encouraged, not derided. Self-denial is a Christian virtue. …
Update June 2023: My friends at Monomakhos wrote an essay entitled “‘Gay Pride’ Month, a Brief Retrospective” which includes an excellent video debunking “the myth that homosexuality was not only normative in Ancient Greece, but idolized as the romantic ideal” in order to push the normalization of sexual deviancy on the modern masses through the …
“Why couldn’t she just be a lesbian?” is a refrain I’ve heard regarding my gender-confused teenage niece, whom I wrote about in Life with a Rainbow Mafioso. It’s a shocking statement, really, illustrating the nihilistic depths to which we’ve sunk. Drowning in unremitting depravity, we’re gasping for breath, desperately trying to get our heads above …
