If you watch the video of MacIntyre delivering his paper "On Being a Theistic Philosopher in a Secularized Culture", he delivers a fantastic argument about why this kind of moral reasoning is precisely what Dostoyevsky meant when he said "Without God, anything is permissible"

Dad made some trades and she owes cap gains. A whole lot of trades if it’s 17k. Or she didn’t have a dime withheld

American works full time, she doesn’t own a home, “I don't own anything crazy” She just did her taxes and “I literally sh*t my f*cking pants” Despite working full time, not making any big purchases, she has no money but owes $17,000 in taxes She says if she were to pay her taxes, she would actually be negative money after working all year just from paying bills and taxes “I just wanna know how the f*ck does one owe so much money in taxes when they got no money?” As of 2026, data shows the average American does not have any substantial amount of money left at the end of the year after bills, taxes, and typical spending In fact the number is so low, that after taxes the average American typically only is able to save 4% of their money after bills Insane

NEW: Oklahoma high school principal seen charging at and disarming a school shooter in footage obtained by @SHumphreyTV. Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore is being called a hero after getting shot while stopping a school shooter. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover and says he is looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible. "I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible so that I may continue my life’s work educating the next generation of Oklahoma leaders. Until then, my thoughts are with our outstanding students, safe today in the arms of their families and friends," he said. Hero!

“Clausewitz would have recognized all of this immediately. The war has not failed because the bombs and missiles missed. The war failed because the men who ordered the bombing could not answer, before they ordered it or at any point thereafter, the one question that makes war something other than organized violence: What are we trying to get the enemy to do and how does this make them do it?”

War will forgive many sins, but not the confusion of aims and desired outcomes. As I write in @WarOnTheRocks, the war on Iran follows a long American tradition of striking with precision in the absence of strategy. warontherocks.com/tactical-succe…

I think an unironic John Carpenter movie is one of those things we actually have forgotten how to make and cannot do anymore.

"A democracia, contudo, permanece saudável somente quando enraizada na lei moral e em uma verdadeira visão da pessoa humana. Sem esse fundamento, corre o risco de se tornar uma tirania majoritária ou uma máscara para o domínio das elites econômicas e tecnológicas."

Woah, there spiritual power, don’t you think you’re setting yourself up over us, the temporal power a bit? Have you considered sticking to saying “abortion bad!”? I don’t think this war and immigration stuff are things you’re qualified to subject us to!

JD Vance on President Trump's criticism of Pope Leo XIV: "In some cases, it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality and what's going on in the Catholic Church and let the president of the U.S. stick to dictating American public policy."

Middle class people making sure they don’t fall into poverty rather than maximizing their possible financial gains is fine actually. It’s not all about line go up.

Just heard the best/worst caller on the Dave Ramsey podcast. Married couple, under 30. $145,000 household income. Came on the show to celebrate paying off the mortgage on their $450,000 Georgia home. Said they starting paying it off early 5 years ago, meaning they had a low interest rate home loan (probably <3%) and started to aggressively pay it down right as interest rates were starting to rise. Dave Ramsey loved it, launching into a lecture about how 26-year olds who say they can’t buy homes should look at this couple for inspiration. Hahaha.
