These Things Are Hard
Geopolitical Trash Talk
Let me tell you a story. My ultimate purpose is to talk about the Russian jets buzzing one of our ships in a strafing formation, but first I want to tell you a story. When I was in the Navy on the USS Tusk (SS 428)– the picture attached is one of me obscuring the …
Two Boats and a Helicopter
This is what it looks like when you hit a nerve. A couple days ago I put forward 7 reasons why young men should marry 6 years earlier (on average) than they are doing now. This was hailed by some as the best thing they have heard in a long time, and denounced by others …
Jerusalem Had a Wall

Dead Heat

He didn’t put it exactly like that, but you get the gist. In The Suicide of the West, James Burnham …
Both Books
“But the God who passes judgment on that day is the same God who inspired the Scriptures to be written, and He is also the same God who governs the fall of sparrows, the motion of atoms in all of Neptune’s moons, the number of hairs on every head that will come up before him …
