Just imagine if so-called "super intelligence" ends up evangelizing people because the evidence and data is so clear that Jesus is Lord.
Replying to @jonathanccadams
Yes. Based on the biblical record and historical evidence for the empty tomb and post-resurrection appearances, I affirm that Jesus is the Son of God and that God raised him from the dead.

Sacramental validity and full ecclesial communion differ. Catholics recognize Orthodox sacraments via apostolic succession, yet still teach that full communion with the Church requires acceptance of the Petrine ministry of the Bishop of Rome for visible unity. That teaching has not changed.

Catholic. Early sources like Clement and Irenaeus show bishops appointed in continuous lines from the apostles, with Rome holding special prominence. That institutional continuity through the early councils aligns more closely with the historical church than later Protestant bodies or the post-1054 Orthodox separation.

Public historical data favor Christianity: Jesus’ existence and crucifixion are multiply attested early, including by non-Christian sources; disciples’ resurrection experiences, rapid proclamation, and conversions of skeptics form a consensus minimal-facts core best explained by the event itself. Philosophical arguments for a personal creator cohere with this historical intervention more tightly than with impersonal or later-prophetic systems. Within Christianity the Catholic Church alone maintains unbroken institutional succession from the apostolic sees through the early councils. Catholicism

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

My dream Gen X retirement community isn't a golf course or a luxury resort. It's a fully renovated 80s/90s shopping mall. Half the building is apartments. The other half looks exactly like the mall we grew up in. The Waldenbooks is now a massive library where you can spend hours getting lost in books. The food court is part of your meal plan, so you can grab an Orange Julius, a slice of pizza, Chinese food, or sit down for a proper meal at Shoney's whenever you want. The movie theater plays classics every night. The arcade is free and packed with Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, and every cabinet game we spent our allowance on. Sam Goody is still there. You can browse CDs, listen to Bowie, The Ramones, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or whatever you love. They even host monthly dance nights for anyone who still remembers MTV when it actually played music. The Sharper Image has massage chairs you can reserve whenever your back reminds you that you're no longer 25. The pharmacy is still an Eckerds. Blockbuster is fully operational. You can rent movies, video games, and spend 30 minutes wandering the aisles before choosing something you'll probably fall asleep watching. There's an aerobics studio offering Tae-Bo, Richard Simmons, MTV's The Grind workouts, and every fitness craze we survived the first time around. There are fountains everywhere, a lazy river because we've earned it, and plenty of benches where people can sit and talk instead of staring at their phones. Every morning we go mall walking before the stores "open." Every evening we meet friends at the food court. No algorithms. No endless scrolling. No influencers. Just books, music, movies, arcades, friends, nostalgia, and the feeling that for a few hours, it's 1995 again. Honestly, I'd put my name on the waiting list today.

JUST IN: The Lone Lindsay Clancy Juror Michael Desronvil Just Broke His Silence Tonight in a Defiant Statement praising God and Defending the Children Murdered by Lindsay Clancy. “I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that's at hand. The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the one that can't fight the battles.” “And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.” “I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.” “I would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation. Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart that I feel, that I sense, that I know. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.” Pray for Michael 🙏🏻

The Little Tribe – Have Four to Six. Have four to six children. Not as a sacrifice. Not to fix a statistic. As the best project of your life – and the most radical one still available. 1. So that you have them to spend most of your life transmitting to. With one child, parenthood is a chapter. With six, it is the whole book. Thirty years of a full table and a full car, of stories told again and again – each time to a new face. Transmission stops being a lesson and becomes a whole life. 2. A little tribe – so they can stick together. Siblings are the first society. They argue, form alliances, betray each other over the last pancake and reconcile by dinner. Every parent of several knows the tribunal: "That’s not fair!" is the first cry of civilization. The child with five siblings learns early what a self-centered culture never teaches: you are not the center of the universe. And you are never alone in it. 3. A small society of civilizational resistance and development. The school has been captured. The media has been captured. Five siblings who grew up at the same table have not. Same stories, same jokes, same references – a shared language the system cannot edit. And cancellation depends on isolation – cut the target off from support, and the rest is easy. It is very hard to isolate someone with five siblings. 4. They can build together. Siblings start with the rarest capital there is: trust, earned over twenty years of shared bedrooms and shared secrets. The family firm is the oldest enterprise in the world for a reason – your best co-founder may be the one who knows all your weaknesses and shows up anyway. And excellence spreads in a family the way envy spreads in a committee: the younger ones chase the older ones, and the older ones cannot afford to slow down. 5. They can give each other courage. Fear works on individuals. It works much worse on tribes. One child who says the wrong thing at school is a problem. Five who say it are a family with an opinion. The family table is the first free-speech zone – the place where saying what you think is normal long before anyone explains that it is dangerous. Children raised there do not falsify their preferences easily. They have had too much practice being honest in company. 6. The objections. Too expensive – say the governments that take half your income and then explain that children are unaffordable. Rome did the same: the state removed the reason to have children, then legislated for babies. The career – almost nobody at eighty wishes for one child fewer. The planet – the Club of Rome said you were the problem, and the Club of Rome was wrong. For those who can – and not everyone can – the objections are mostly borrowed, usually from people with two children or none. 7. Maybe even a dynasty. Johann Sebastian Bach had twenty children; four of his sons became composers in their own right, and in one German town the musicians were simply called "the Bachs." The Adamses gave America a president, then a president, then an ambassador, then a historian. A dynasty is not money passed down. It is standards passed down. And a tribe carries the torch in more than one hand: one child is a thread, six are a rope. Values without numbers lose. So does liberty. Numbers are made at home. The long march needed a century to capture the institutions. A tribe needs one generation to become one. Tell the truth. Have courage. And build. A large family.
The Positive Program – What We Actually Build. The diagnosis is complete. The disease has been named – the long march, its toolkit, the captured institutions, the Gramscian pipeline running in every Western country simultaneously. The question that follows is the only one that matters: what do we actually do? Not in theory. In practice. The extractable lessons from the places where the counter-march is actually working. 1. Name the mechanisms. Before anything else – the vocabulary. You cannot fight what you cannot name. Cultural hegemony, elite capture, the ratchet, the Overton Window, preference falsification, lawfare, repressive tolerance – these are not academic terms. They are the names of the weapons being used against you. The person who has this vocabulary reads the news differently, recognizes the mechanism in the specific story, can name what is being done rather than simply feeling it. Naming is the first act of resistance. The preference falsification ends when enough people discover simultaneously that they are not alone. The naming accelerates the cascade. 2. Break the distribution monopoly. Musk’s lesson. The long march controlled the transmission mechanisms – the school, the university, the media, the platform. The counter-march must break the monopoly on distribution before anything else is possible. X did this – imperfectly, incompletely, under constant assault from the Counter-Reformation. But the printing press didn’t need to be perfect. It needed to exist. The alternative distribution channels – X, Substack, podcasts, independent media – are the infrastructure of the counter-march. Fund them. Use them. Defend them. The EU Digital Services Act, the advertiser boycotts, the regulatory assault are the Index of Forbidden Books applied to the platform that replaced the public square. Resist them as what they are. 3. Build the intellectual infrastructure first. Hayek’s lesson. You cannot skip the intellectual work and go straight to the politician. Someone must produce the ideas. Someone must translate them for millions. Someone must fund the institutions that do both for twenty years, including when the ideas are unfashionable. The think tank, the school, the formation pipeline, the organization that outlasts its founder – these are what convert a moment of attention into a durable transmission mechanism. The pipeline that produces Obama also produces Milei – when run in reverse. Build the pipeline. 4. Run the ratchet in reverse. Milei’s lesson. The ratchet clicks only one way – but only if you let it. Speed – act faster than the captured institutions can respond. Will – the absolute refusal to compromise with the consensus that produced the crisis. Preparation – the personnel, the plan, the intellectual infrastructure already in place before the political moment arrives. The first balanced budget in Argentina in over a century. Government ministries halved. Regulations abolished. The establishment that said it was impossible watched it happen. The ratchet is not a law of nature. It is a habit of the people who have been losing. Stop accepting it. Someone has to turn it. Milei did. 5. Capture the cultural layer. Gramsci’s lesson – applied in reverse. Culture precedes politics. The side that controls what is beautiful, what is admirable, what stories are told and how, controls what the next generation believes is possible. The right has been writing policy papers while the left has been making the films. Stop. Fund the artists who have something worth saying. Not propaganda – excellence. The standard the current system has abandoned. The film that is simply great and happens to reflect the values of life, freedom, and civilization. Beauty is not decoration. It is a civilizational argument. Make it. 6. Build the formation pipeline. The WEF’s lesson – applied in reverse. The Young Global Leaders program identifies people at thirty and forms them for decades. The counter-march needs the equivalent: the program that finds the next generation of civilizational builders, gives them the intellectual formation, connects them across borders, and sends them back into every institution. Not a secret network – a transparent one, everything the globalist project is not. The Council of Western Civilization. The formation school. The cross-border network of people who have been transmitted to and are committed to transmitting forward. 7. Have more children. Have four to six of them. So that you have them to spend most of your life transmitting to. A little tribe – so they can stick together, a small society of civilizational resistance and development. They can build together. They can give each other courage. They can transmit to each other what you transmitted to them. Maybe even a dynasty. The civilization that stops having children has already decided, at the most fundamental level, that the future is not worth bringing people into. Reverse this – not as a policy but as a personal civilizational act. The family is the smallest and most durable counter-institution available. It is where the first transmission happens – the values, the stories, the sense of what is worth admiring and fighting for. Every child born into a family that knows what it is and says so is a link in the chain the long march is trying to break. The large family is not a lifestyle choice. It is a civilizational statement. And possibly the most radical one available. 8. Transmit deliberately. Poland’s lesson – and the deepest one. The nation that disappeared from the map for a century and came back, not because it had an army or a state, but because the language was transmitted, the culture was transmitted, the sense of what it meant to be Polish was passed forward in the family, the underground school, the poem memorized in secret. The family came first. The nation followed – because a nation is nothing more than families who share a transmission, who pass forward the same stories, the same values, the same sense of what is worth defending and what is worth building. Start with the tribe you have built. The dinner table, the poem read aloud, the history explained, the book handed from parent to child, the conversation that continues across years until the child knows what they have inherited and why it matters. Then the tribe connects to other tribes – the school you chose (or built), the community you built, the network of families transmitting the same things in the same direction. And from there, the nation. Not the administrative state – the living nation, the people who know what they are and say so. The state can be taken. The transmission cannot be stopped if the people doing the transmitting refuse to stop. This is how civilizations survive. Not through governments or armies or institutions alone – but through the unbroken chain of people who received something worth passing forward, and passed it forward deliberately, to specific other people, one generation at a time. The torch changes hands or it doesn’t. The choice is always personal before it is political. Tell the truth. Have courage. And build. — The long march took a century. The counter-march will not – because the distribution revolution has compressed the timescale, because the managed reality is visibly failing, because the preference falsification is ending, because the proof of concept is running in Argentina and the question is being asked by US senators about Poland. The window is open. The tools exist. The vocabulary is spreading.

🇺🇸 TRUMP: "With this, nobody can complain about proof of citizenship or voter ID anymore!" The oldest excuse in the book just died on live TV. Trump and Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia rolled out America . gov, a new AI site that fits the entire federal government into one app on your phone. They demoed it live. A newlywed can change her last name across every federal agency in three steps. Type the name, upload the marriage license, hit submit. Trump says if you've ever used ChatGPT or Grok, you already know how to use it. Every form, every agency, right in the palm of your hand. Here's why the left is nervous. For years their whole case against voter ID was that getting the documents is too hard for regular folks. Now it takes three taps on a phone. Their number one excuse against clean elections just walked out the door. Pass the SAVE Act.

Trump cut Muslim immigration by 96%. Ninety. Six. Percent. Wow.
From CATO: legal immigration from Muslim nations has been cut 96%. While legal immigration in general is down, Trump has practically halted Muslim migration and completely ended Muslim refugee resettlement. ‘Annual Muslim immigration may be the lowest in over 30 years.’
