Canceling worship on the Lord’s Day because it falls on Christmas is what idolizing the family really looks like.

I’m meeting more and more old people without grandchildren.
Most tell me that they taught their kids to pursue their dreams.
Apparently, they assumed those dreams would include children. They were wrong.

Anyone else notice that quality is hard to come by these days?
I bought a John Deere tractor a couple of years ago, it’s been in the shop twice and still isn’t right.
Bought a new dishwasher in June. It doesn’t dry the dishes.
Bought a dehumidifier in October. Already broke.

My take on public education.
Many female teachers don’t like boys, particularly masculine, high energy boys.
They’ll never say it, but they want to damage those boys.
Don’t let them.
We all depend on those boys to grow into men who can do what only they can do.

Among the changes will be the end of the sexual revolution, the revival of Christianity, and the recovery of the traditional household.

Since I discourage military service for young men, what do I encourage?
1. Learn a trade—preferably a durable one.
2. Find a godly girl, get married, have lots of kids, & be faithful.
3. Acquire productive property.
4. Read the classics—esp. the Bible & great literature.

I’m in the sweet spot.
I’m in a socially conservative area with walkable neighborhoods & brewpubs and coffee shops.

Turning away from having children is sometimes attributed to a growing self-centeredness.

I think it might have more to do with loss of faith—faith in God, faith in the future, faith that the sacrifices are worth it.

Christianity is not up against vanilla secularism, the religion we’re competing with is transhumanism and it’s been that way since Darwin.

We’re back to the 70s and 80s when living in the city meant living with crime and ugliness.

Some people don’t want to win, they just want to look like they want to win.

Big Eva is tacitly globalist. I suspect it is partly why Christian Nationalism irritates them.
