By and large, the Right does not actually dream of being Augustus. Most of us dream of being the last honorable senator. Defeat is thus accepted as an inevitable prerequisite before any political struggle even begins. We’re starting from the presumption that the other side will eventually win, and that we’re supposed to give way after we make enough noise and grumble about it. Why would anyone sign up to be the Washington Generals though? At least the Generals get paid to lose. What is in it for anyone on the Right, let alone anyone under the age of 40, to sign up for a losing cause that implicitly accepts its own subordinate role as the designated loser in a scripted play? Until this loser mindset is thoroughly crushed and replaced with one that asserts a positive vision that WILL be implemented come hell or high water, you can’t expect many people to be enthusiastic about identifying with “the Right” or any institution associated with it.












Ancient Greece: How the first known automatic door worked


He leído su historia y me parece una barbaridad que esto esté pasando en España. En 2022 sufrió una violación múltiple en un centro tutelado. Tras intentar quitarse la vida, quedó parapléjica. Ahora, el sistema le da luz verde para morir en vez de garantizarle apoyo, tratamiento y dignidad para vivir. En 24 horas, Noelia será la primera persona en recibir la eutanasia por depresión en España. Esto también es un fracaso colectivo.



The democrats are promoting this on fb as the dream team. Can you imagine? It's the temu administration.

I’m seeing, yet again, this surge of hatred for the Boomer generation. I’m a late season Boomer, born in 1961; I’ve worked for nearly 50 years, have been in the same profession for 37 years, I’ve routinely worked 45-60 hours a week. I don’t get why we are so vilified.

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)
