The claude folks should just own this 🤣

Jean Elshtain's Women and War thoroughly debunked the old binary of violent men and morally pure women. It is a mythology with little basis in history. Women have often been as bellicose as men in initiating and supporting wars. Men have often sought to prevent wars. The common canard doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

.@ConceptualJames, please stop trying to divide the conservative and populist movement. I worked with @VivekGRamaswamy on the Trump 47 Transition. I don't agree with him about everything and he's made some mistakes, especially on immigration issues, but I certainly still support his run for Ohio Governor. If he's not elected, I fear potential disaster for Ohio across the full mine-run of issues. I also support much of the work of @DineshDSouza, even though my views do not align 100% with him either. People seem to have short memories. Dinesh did such pioneering -- and I seem to remember record-breaking -- documentary work exposing Barack Hussein Obama at a critical time. For that alone he deserves a mild form of political canonization. I'm also a fan of his daughter, @MrsDanielleGill and even more so of her firebrand husband @realBrandonGill. I think this concept of a "Woke Right" is a false parallelism that doesn't really exist, which is not to say there aren't some racist people out there. There clearly are. But I'm seeing too many of my allies smeared as racist who are not racist at all. The nuclear family I lead is multi-racial. So I simply won't stand for the smearing and the potential splash-back/sloshing around tarring everyone-in-sight effect of this kind of loose set of politically flailing attacks. It seems like it's all an attempt to get at @VP and encumber his future presidential run in 2028. Nor can VP Vance be inaccurately smeared as racist either, as his wife @SLOTUS is an Indian American. To be clear: My political enemies are the Communists, the Democrat Socialists, the economic Marxists, and cultural Marxists, and the so-called "Progressives." While my mere political rivals are the ordinary Democrats who do not overlap with the prior 5 categories, though that group of Democrats is increasingly a beleaguered minority in that party. Losing this focus (and that careful framing) during the run up to these critical Midterm elections is to miss the mark significantly as to what the challenges of this hour in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

From someone who knows intimately how the left wields power to destroy its enemies.

Biden, the Dems and their allies tried to destroy Trump through unprecedented lawfare, but a certain type of conservative will tut-tut because Trump mocks Biden to Xi.

Academics are actually very conservative people, despite their reputation. They do not like change, tend to be passive in the face of bureaucracy, and are highly conformist. They like the idea of radicalism, but prefer security and comfort more.

It’s been this many years since the Packers were this bad.

If you study actual history, female leaders tend to be more belligerent than male.

Assisted suicide is a perfect metaphor for Canada as a whole. An entire nation seeking to kill itself.

I’m seeing women everywhere wearing baggy pants. This is one of the worst fashion trends in recent memory. I hope it dies fast.

I hate the Packers and will love watching the Cheeseheads suffer this season. Ultra-schadenfreude

Packers are cooked. Haven’t seen a Packers team this bad in a long time. LaFleur ain’t gonna survive the season

I’ll take it one step further: Doomerism is often self-indulgent narcissism that doesn’t care about the public interest

This is my least favorite part of the job, but if I don't do it, there won't be a "job" to do! If you appreciate @BaptistLeaders, help us meet our monthly budget by making a gift before September 28: centerforbaptistleadership.o… CBL is scoring real wins and fighting for conservative Southern Baptists in a way that no other organization is. We will not let the SBC fall into the hands of the Left. And we will strengthen it for future generations. Indeed, we already are! To keep doing that, we need support from likeminded conservative Christians across the nation who understand the importance of America's largest Protestant denomination remaining a force for conservative, Bible-believing, Gospel good. And if you appreciate my broader work on culture, politics, and my fight for a Christian nation to give to our children, this is the best way to support my ministry as well!

Iterating on some TENNESSEE CRAFTSMAN starter home concepts for @UsaRidge. Will build one of them as a model home. Which color do the people like most?

In which I respond to the insinuations and hysteria exhibited in Erick Erickson’s “expose.” Last week, blogger @EWErickson maligned the Claremont Institute, one of our donors, and a few of our fellows and alumni, relying substantially on guilt-by-association smears and innuendo. 1/x

Insightful essay by @CobbsCooper, a rising junior at Patrick Henry College. The kids are going to be alright.

Good to see attention on the deleterious effects of marijuana legalization. The American founders widely recognized the danger licentiousness posed to both general welfare and capacity for self-government. Contemporary conservatives are far too cavalier about this. @CobbsCooper correctly emphasizes this: "Legalizing recreational cannabis gives individuals the means to dull their senses, check out of life, and develop dependencies on a potentially dangerous substance. This is habituation toward destruction. A republic can only be sustained by citizens capable of governing themselves. Marijuana doesn’t contribute to that capacity — it undermines it."

Because I lived through the 80’s and know it was the best decade in recent history, I sympathize with those stuck in Reaganism. You had to be there to understand the aura. Glam bands, nuclear stand off and the Evil Empire, Top Gun and Rocky IV etc. America was cooking!!
