Leaving X was worth it just to not see her posts anymore.

I hope somebody asking questions about how the F “Taylor parlayed [his] auto repair company… to Valar Atomics.” Think about that claim— he (maybe) knew how to code, somehow that led to an auto repair company (?), and then a bunch of Russian investors said “here is $$$$ to build nuclear reactors!”

😳 Isaiah Taylor of Valar Atomics—which somehow scored a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor by July 4—claimed that “a person cld hold the spent nuclear fuel from [Valar’s] reactor in their hand & get the same amount of radiation as one would expect from a hospital CT scan.” About that… 1/

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Trying to help get the word out

So even as we condemn political violence, we need to be clear of the legacy of Turning Point USA. Those who are whitewashing its work as a “free speech and debate” organization are willfully obscuring the truth. 8/

Self-described Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson is part of an ascendent group of Christian religious leaders finding influence among MAGA conservatives. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is Wilson’s most prominent and public follower in the Trump admin. Aug 8, 2025 (7 min) 🍿🔊

Anyone else getting these weird messages from Twitter about strongarming people into subscribing? I didn’t get an email or any other alert about it.

This is part of the long term endgame for the political marriage of Republican politicians and “Conservative” Evangelicals, going all the way back to the old school Moral Majority.

Two thoughts: 1. Baptists & Catholics together under the idea of “Christianity” betrays both Baptist AND Catholic doctrine. We have divergent views on critical doctrines. 2. Enforcing this kind of watered down “christian” theology by the State can be undone by the next POTUS.

GM!

Bingo

Both

There is at least one follower who gave away everything he had accumulated four fold, though. Not that we'll ever see that done by our theological overlords. They're too busy grabbing for $100 million dollars because they were "defamed" as the result of actions they took.

160 years ago today, the traitor Jefferson Davis and his treasonous cabinet abandoned Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, spelling the beginning of the end of the Civil War. A day for all patriots to celebrate.

Nonprofits known as 527s can raise unlimited sums for political spending. As a reminder, we've got a database that allows journalists, researchers and others to more easily search these organizations’ finances:

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

BREAKING: Trump, Vance meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over minerals deal devolves into heated argument — "You're gambling with World War III," Trump said.

Oh, it gets worse.

TWO DAYS AGO, a government employee declared in a court filing that Elon Musk is actually not in charge of *or* an employee of DOGE. MINUTES AGO, the President of the United States said: “I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.”

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

“Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes,” Timothy W. Ryback writes in a step-by-step account:

I know that a lot of people are thinking about how to resist Trumpism and exercise our Constitutional rights to do so. I have this feeling that eventually we are going to see Trump using force against American citizens to shut down dissent. Be careful out there tomorrow if you plan to protest.

A critical point.

Correct.

Vought is one of the key guys for William Wolfe and is likely a major conduit for religious figures lusting for access to DC. There are others, all of whom desire to destroy American society and rebuild it along theonomic lines. Hegseth’s a part of this as well. So are groups in the SBC.

The “Gundo Bros” are “ultra-Christian” tech entrepreneurs (eg, Augustus Doricko & Isaiah Taylor) who’ve set up shop in El Segundo, CA. Some have “benefitted from the largesse” of tech billionaire Marc Andreessen, a Thiel/Musk pal, DOGE advisor & “network state” investor. Doug Wilson ties in too. 1/

Nothing says “lead the Pentagon” like mommy making phone calls for her very good boy.

We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

WHERE WAS GONDOR WHEN BLUESKY'S INTERNAL SERVERS FELL?

You can't legislate a nation to be more Godly. You can't argue a nation into being more Godly. You can't scare people into being more Godly. Acts 2:42-47 gives the blueprint - Devote yourself to the teachings of God, participate in prayer, prioritize fellowship. Care for the needy.

Hahahaha

Let’s band together for books, shall we?

Woe unto them that call evil good, & good evil; that put darkness for light, & light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, & sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

I’m contractually obligated to tell you guys the Boston Red Sox added Jhoestynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster and his nickname is “The Password.”

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
