As we discussed on the podcast with @DouthatNYT a few weeks ago, I'm surprised anyone would find this surprising. Peter Thiel's theories about the antichrist are heresy. The weird thing is when Christians receive his comments warmly. thefp.com/p/why-the-vati…

Prices aren’t a terrible way to allocate goods to people who value them most

Trump says the United States is investigating a statement republished by CNN World News to see if a crime was committed, and the President is “order[ing]” CNN to retract and withdraw the story.
Not how it works in a free country.

As J. D. Vance heads to Hungary to campaign for Viktor Orbán, I write in The Washington Post about what this reveals. Orbán’s postliberalism has failed on the economy, fertility, and Christianity – succeeding only in dismantling rule of law and the free market.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.

This is inappropriate. Government accounts should not be posting religious content.
This isn’t Iran.

Luke 23:46 On this solemn day, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice our Savior made for all humanity. Trust in God’s plan.

Honest question for the red circle people.
If "foreigner's" kids don't get birthright citizenship, what work does the children of ambassadors do?
Aren't they already foreign?
Probably a reason you didn't hear this bit at OA.

This is why Federal judges are the last bulwark. Something to consider.

"This is not even a close legal call."
We are SO FAR from the "well, I have found an interesting source that might question the conventional wisdom that warrants discussion" phase of . . . six months ago.
🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸@mrddmia
If the Supreme Court holds this is why we fought a Civil War and enacted the birthright citizenship clause in the 14th amendment, the Court will lose its legitimacy. This is not even a close legal call.

This post is from a year ago, but I saw a screenshot of it going around. It's patently false. The Supreme Court absolutely has jurisdiction over illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants litigate at the Supreme Court all the time, we have many important SCOTUS cases involving illegal aliens, with a recent famous one being Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Josiah Lippincott@jlippincott_
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over foreigners only when they are in the country lawfully. The Constitution does not apply to enemy combatants on American soil, illegal immigrants, or to foreigners in their home countries. Moreover, deportation is not a punishment. Foreigners have no right to appeal their removal to their home countries to American courts. Just a fundamental misunderstanding by the entire legal profession about what citizenship means.

@Forms_Respecter @greg_y @JonahDispatch Then it's a myth that's done society a lot of good.
I'm always amused that the same people too afraid to put their names to their ideas think they'd be the winners in a lawless society.

@AustinJSpillane @greg_y @JonahDispatch Rule of law doesn't exist in America presently. And besides that, it's nothing more than a mythology Anglos use to organize themselves.

My warm take on birthright citizenship:
Wholly defensible to be against it as policy and wholly reasonable to want to reform it in some way.
Also intellectually defensible to say that the 14th amendment is being misinterpreted. Doesn't mean I agree, but I don't think it's crazy either.
But even if you win that argument, you still need to deal with century+ of precedent and statutory language that codifies it and has created massive reliance interests.
I consider it an open question whether Congress can repeal or modify birthright citizenship.
I think it is absolutely nuts and dangerous to think a president can repeal it through executive order, and defending the E.O. because you agree with the underlying policy is itself indefensible.
That's it. That's my take.

@charlesb2003 @BortBurner @Timcast No, you're not. You're just an anonymous account who'd never even say this shit in public.

@AustinJSpillane @BortBurner @Timcast I'm willing to fight for my inheritance, but sadly most of my fellow Americans are either not willing to, or are actively trying to give it up to foreigners. If we get conquered by invaders, so be it. We kinda deserve it at this point for being so weak and redarded.
