We Need More Men Like Nick Freitas in the Virginia General Assembly....

 ....and across this nation. He is confronting the ideology of the Left and he is unapologetically condemning it and the violence their evil rhetoric triggers. 

Common Sense from Sky News as Lefties Celebrate and Mock Charlie Kirk's Assassination

It's gratifying to see many leftists fired from their jobs for their hate-filled reactions to the murder. Can you imagine having your child in a classroom with one of these teachers who applauds the political assassination of someone you admired?

Scott Jennings Confronts the Left and Pegs It!

First, the left tried to convince us the man who killed Charlie Kirk was a conservative. That failed.

Now, we're seeing multiple attempts to frame this as some transgender love story. ENOUGH.

It's time to accept the glaring truth that is staring you right in the face. pic.twitter.com/umjLwhGMGt

The Left Is Trying to Re-Write the Past about George Floyd

I've heard many people claiming that protests after George Floyd's death were peaceful. In fact one commenter who trolls my blog claimed the peacefulness after Charlie Kirk's assassination was in imitation of the George Floyd protesters. 

Screwtape Lives!

One of the scenes in The Screwtape Letters that I find most chilling involves Screwtape's advice to eliminate silence. He writes to his nephew, Wormwood, expressing his concern about the woman Wormwood's "patient" is seeing. She comes from a religious family and Screwtape fears the influence she will have on the young man through her faith:

The Iago Moment! Betrayal, Manipulation and Murder Second Hand

Iago lives in the radical lefties who foment violence against conservatives and celebrate their assassination. Who is the real threat to democracy in the United States of America?

In my opinion, the most evil and diabolical villain in Shakespeare's plays isn't Macbeth who murders King Duncan in his sleep as he plots to take over the kingdom. It isn't King Claudius who poisons Hamlet's father, marries his mother, and engages in multiple plots to kill Hamlet. It isn't Shakespeare's evil women like Lady Macbeth; Regan, King Lear's unnatural daughter; or Tamora, the cold-hearted villain of Titus Andronicus who all show the diabolical lengths to which evil women can go.

Sunday Meditation: The Frustration of Lost Items

Today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. My plan was to spend the day re-reading Louis de Wohl's wonderful historical novel, St. Helena and the True Cross. Only one problem. I can't find it. The shelf with Mary Windeatt's saint novels is where it should be, but it isn't. I remember reading it a few years ago so I know I own the book, but where did I put it?

I looked through my alphabetically arranged lives of the saints and it isn't there. Then I went upstairs where I have two shelves of biographies and it wasn't there either. So instead of spending the day following my intended pursuit, I will read the entry on St. Helena in Butler's Lives of the Saints and offer up my frustration for the poor souls in Purgatory. 

Good and Evil Face Off in Woodstock

A small portion of the Patriots in Woodstock
rallying for Charlie Kirk.

Larry and I returned today from a two day stay in Staunton. It was not a planned vacation. We had tickets for a conference on regenerative farming being hosted by the Brownstone Institute. When they sent an email saying they had a long waiting list for the event, we decided younger folks would benefit more than we would. So we gave up our tickets. But I had booked a hotel reservation already paid for that couldn't be canceled. So instead of the conference we decided to take a mini vacation in Staunton. We planned a late lunch in Salem on Thursday with our five grandkids who attend Virginia Tech followed by two nights in Staunton doing a little exploring of the area. 

At the hotel, we watched a lot of the coverage on Charlie Kirk and marveled at the statement from his wife, Erika. What a testimony of faith and love! No hate, no unbridled anger, just determination to carry on Charlie's goal of "making heaven crowded."

Learned Lunatics

The icon for a learned lunatic!

I ran across the expression "learned lunatics" on the Orthosphere blog. They define their title as a sphere of influence that expresses right, correct, and straight teaching. The authors are all Christians: Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox who share their thoughts about the disordered societies of the West. I was intrigued by the article A Shifted Attitude: What Gender Ideology is All About describing a summer English class at Texas A&M where the gender unicorn did gyre and gimble in the wabe. The author described the learned lunatics among his colleagues.

The description of "learned lunatics" is apt today, especially on college and university campuses; in psychiatrist and counselor offices; in courtrooms where lawfare is the order of the day, the blindfold ripped off Lady Justice; and, of course, in media and corporate offices where editors and CEOs skewer the truth with lies, bias, and exaggeration. 

The Gun Control Faction Uses Charlie Kirk Murder to Push Their Agenda!

I fully expected it. 

The House Democrats hardly waited for a moment of silence to end honoring murder victim Turning Point USA president Charlie Kirk before they started hollering for gun control. That was after they shouted, "NO!" when Rep. Lauren Boebert called for a spoken prayer. How many leftists ridiculed prayer just days ago after the children were murdered in Minnesota? Remember when they nixed mentioning God in their party platform? Like columnist Joe Sobran always said, Democrats are the "evil party." They own that distinction more today than ever!
