For decades, activists on the left have weaponized the phrase “separation of church and state” to scrub every trace of religious expression from the public square. Prayer banned in schools, Ten Commandments monuments torn down, coaches fired for kneeling in silent prayer, bakers and florists coerced into celebrating ceremonies that violate their faith: all justified, we are told, by an ironclad “wall of separation” between church and state. The only problem? That is not what the Founders meant, not even close.
In March of 1775, as the colonies stood on the brink of war, Patrick Henry rose in the Virginia Convention and thundered words that still shake the American soul: “An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! … We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations.”
We remember the closing line— “Give me liberty or give me death”—but it was this appeal to the God of hosts that gave the struggle its moral center. The founders believed their cause could not be sustained on human courage alone. When earthly appeals were exhausted, they appealed to Heaven.
For thirty years we were told the debate was over. The science was settled. Humanity had roughly a decade—always a decade—to slash emissions or face biblical floods, mass starvation, and the end of civilization as we know it. Children were taught to have panic attacks. Teenagers were told not to have children. Politicians demanded trillions in new taxes, global governance mechanisms, and the deliberate de-industrialization of the West.
Then, almost overnight, the tone changed.
This week, Bitcoin dropped to $89,420—a level we haven't seen since February. We're down more than 30% from October's peak of $126,000, and every gain Bitcoin made in 2025 has been erased. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 15, deep in extreme fear territory.
But here's what most people are missing: this isn't 2018. This isn't 2022. We've never had a correction like this with a pro-crypto president in the White House. And that changes everything about what happens next.
In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, Apple’s recent research may have unintentionally revealed the truth many of us have long suspected: AI is artificial, but it is not intelligence.
In a pre-WWDC 2025 research paper, Apple exposed a fundamental flaw at the core of today’s most celebrated systems—OpenAI’s o1 and o3, DeepSeek R1, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, Google’s Gemini Flash Thinking. These “large reasoning models” (LRMs) demonstrate stunning collapse when tasked with logic puzzles that increase in complexity. As Mashable reported, these so-called “thinking” models fall apart entirely when challenged with problems that define human intelligence.
The word euthanasia has re-entered mainstream conversation with stunning speed—just as it once did in the dark years of the Third Reich. In 1938, German publications openly debated which lives were “still valuable to the State,” declaring that those deemed unworthy could be “destroyed” for the supposed good of society. History has shown us where such thinking leads. It always begins with redefining the value of a human being.
For decades, American conservatives have sounded the alarm about a slow-motion ideological invasion that most of the political class preferred to ignore. On November 18, 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott finally gave that warning the force of law: he designated the Muslim Brotherhood and its American front group CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations under Texas statutes, effectively banning them from owning property in the state and imposing crushing penalties on anyone who helps them.
In a move that perfectly encapsulates the Democratic Party's descent into ideological absurdity, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has appointed Giselle Byrd—a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman—to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women. This isn't just an affront to common sense; it's a deliberate snub to the millions of actual women in the Bay State who deserve advocates fighting for their unique challenges, not performative gestures that erase biological reality.
In our sophisticated, postmodern world, some try to explain away the Bible’s accounts of demonization. They say first-century people were just misreading mental illness, epilepsy, or trauma. But the Gospels simply don’t support that reduction.
Civilizations do not collapse because their enemies are strong. They collapse because their foundations weaken. They collapse because their blacksmiths disappear—those individuals who shape conviction, truth, courage, and character.
