How the Kingdom of Heaven Was Bought by Death & Resurrection
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44 Easter, is a time of solemnity, but also a time of great rejoicing. A time of reflection, and a time of feasting. A time of death, and a time of resurrection. It is a celebration of the pivotal moment in all history — the moment when God revealed the mystery that had been hidden throughout the ages, of how he would bring salvation to the world, […] read more

Broad opposition to the censors of Big Tech
I&I: ... What’s more, the public overwhelmingly opposes this kind of censorship. This chart shows the results of another TIPP poll, done for James Golden. Google’s decision is also an attack on basic journalism, the kind of thing that used to raise howls of outrage from journalists. ... I think this is why we are seeing so much support for Musk's offer to buy Twitter and reinstitute free speech. It is time to take the censors' red pencils from the geeks of Google, Twitter, and Facebook. They really have poor judgment as was seen by them trying to suppress the Hunter laptop s... read more

Ukraine’s Non-White Refugees
Over 4 million refugees – mostly women, children, and students – have fled Ukraine over the past month. In response, Europe has opened its arms to Ukrainian refugees and the EU has announced that all Ukrainians are eligible for temporary refugee protection for up to three years, with politicians and the public showing their support. This is how the international refugee protection regime should work. According to official Ukrainian government statistics, Ukraine had over 76,000 foreign students in 2020. About 20,000 of these were Indians and over 15,000 originated from Africa, mai... read more

Venezuela: Thousands March To Commemorate Coup Defeat Anniversary
Big crowds took to the streets of Caracas on Wednesday, April 13, to mark the twentieth anniversary of a short-lived coup.

‘You Have To Laugh At The Ways Agencies Will Evade Giving You Information’
A functioning democracy relies on an informed citizenry. But what you read in a high school textbook, and what you see when you look up from it, are different things. Importantly, transparency—a free flow of information—should be the norm. But it isn’t. That makes even more important the role of journalists who dig out critical information the public needs to hear, whether we know it or not: information we need to challenge the powerful. And it reminds us of the need to protect that role and that ability. The post ‘You Have To Laugh At The Ways Agencies Will Evade Giving You Info... read more
Fierce Friend Of Mother Earth
Roughly eight years ago, Maury Johnson was tending to the work of maintaining his homestead and serving his community in a variety of ways. Then, a letter from the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) arrived, telling him they’d like to survey his land. He agreed, so long as he could go along. It was during that process that Johnson went from a welcoming landowner to a relentless opponent of the MVP. The dangers it posed to life, land and liberty were more than Johnson could stand. So, individually, and through numerous community organizations committed to preserving the ecology of Monr... read more

Bus loads of illegals getting off at DC mostly single males
Red States: ... ... the people getting off the first bus were mostly single adult males. Remember when the Biden team claimed that single adult males were mostly being expelled under Title 42 and the people allowed to stay were largely families and children? The tale of the bus tells something different. ... A second bus arrived on Thursday and similarly had men who said they were from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Colombia. Abbott’s plan is having its desired effect. Now it’s making the Biden team less likely to dump illegal aliens in Texas towns for them to have to deal wit... read more

What did F.A. Hayek say about the Leftist agenda?
How should we conservatives think about race and critical theory, CRT; the misnamed gender affirmation or transgenderism; the climate change cult; abortion on demand at any stage of pregnancy; free and open borders ; mandates that didn't reduce the toll of the pandemic and had never been tried before?

* Did Universities Forgo Nourishment of the Soul for Money?* On the evening of April 14, 1912, Marion Wright of Somerset, England, who was on her way to get married, sang the final hymn in a religious service conducted aboard a steamship headed for New York. It was drawn from John Henry Newman’s poem, “The Pillar of the Cloud.” Lead, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home– Lead Thou me on!
