Forget about Chinese spying, the TikTok ban is a wonderful thing for society on its own.

Happy Inauguration Day (and Robert E. Lee Day), frens. Pray for Trump's family, for safety, for wisdom, and for righteous rule.

For your interest, this is an excellent podcast by Stephen Wolfe. A sleight of hand frequently pulled by civic nationalists is to conflate individuals and groups. For instance, we should be "good Samaritans" and help even enemies. All Christian ethno nationalists would agree.

But it does not then follow that, should I aid a wounded illegal immigrant, I shouldn't report him directly to ICE. Don't let the forked tongue civnats trip you up.

So then we must ever come to this point, that the sacraments are effectual and that they be no trifling signs which vanish away in the air, but that the truth is always matched with them, because that God who is faithful, showed that he had no ordained anything in vain. And by is the cause why in baptism we receive truly the forgiveness of our sins, we be washed and cleansed with the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, we be renewed by operation of his holy spirit. And how so? Had a little water such power when it is cast upon head of a child? No, but because it is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, the water should be a visible sign of his blood and of the holy Ghost, therefore baptism had by virtue and whatsoever is there set forth to the eye, is forth with accomplished in every deed. 

-- John Calvin, Sermons on Deuteronomy, Sermon No. 200 on Ch. 34

The Economics of Immigration

When the supply of unskilled labor increases, but demand stays consistent, prices fall. Labor market prices are otherwise known as wages. Therefore, immigration decreases wages.

When the supply of housing stays relatively flat, but immigration induced demand increases sharply, prices skyrocket. Therefore, immigration causes increased housing costs.

The solution to wage stagnation and housing unaffordability is to stop immigration, and moreover, deporation and repatriation.

The Economics of Chastity

When the supply of sexual access to females increases but the demand remains flat, the price will drop. The price of sexual access formerly was marriage, whereas it has dropped much lower now.

When the supply of top 10% men remains constant, yet the demand for them has risen due to hypergamy and greater exposure via dating apps and social media.

These dual effects have made it difficult for the 90% of men to secure a match, while top 10% men have an easier time getting each match and have more women interested.

The cotton gin and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

(Only half a joke lol)

When rendering the Mass into the vulgar tongue for the Germans, St. Martin Luther paraphrased the tradtional Sanctus in a beautiful throughcomposed piece, "Isaiah, Mighty Seer in Days of Old." Its melody is intentionally simple making it an excellent help for family worship.

"Why have your followers all drawn their swords, may I ask?" said Aslan. "May it please Your High Majesty," said the second mouse, whose name was Peepicheep, "We are all waiting to cut off our own tails if our chief must go without his. We will not bear the shame of wearing an honor which is denied to the high mouse."

"Ahhh," roared Aslan, "You have conquered me! You have great hearts! Not for the sake of your dignity, Reepicheep, but for the love that is between you and your people, and still more for the kindness your people showed me long ago when you ate away the cords that bound me on the Stone Table, and it was then, though you have long forgotten it, that you began to be talking mice, you shall have your tail again."

-- Aslan in Prince Caspian

Doug Wilson, James White, and their collaborators have long been terrible on central issues.

However, they didn't feel the need to open fire on us until recently. They viewed the left as a bigger enemy.

No longer. We should take note of their own assessment of the situation.

So true

The question which must be asked is: Who made Mordor so terrible?

Why Protestants Should Read the Apocrypha:

1) The canonical Scriptures, the Fathers, and the Reformers all reference the Apocrypha and understanding them will increase our literacy with those sources.

2) Understanding inter-testamental history is key to understanding the New Testament.

3) They were highly esteemed by our forefathers in the faith as beneficial and illustrative books.

4) The Apocrypha receive the approbation of our confessions (Belgic Confession, Article 6; Westminster Confession I.III, 2nd Helvetic Confession Chapter 1).

5) Knowing the Apocrypha is helpful in Roman Catholic apologetics.

My recommendation would be to read an RSV-CE or NRSV-CE (Catholic edition).
