The transformation and grift of these big-name racist, antisemitic theo-bros is wild. And their audiences are growing. Great reporting by @bobsmietana

Following his death in February, Ayatollah Khamenei has found an unexpected afterlife in China, where his memoir has become popular—showing how even a Shi’a theocrat can fit Beijing’s narrative so long as he is sufficiently anti-Western, writes Elisa Zhai Autry @HooverInst

What Mr. Xi can’t replicate is American freedom. Relinquish party control, and the communist project unravels.

What happens when corruption becomes so widespread that people stop expecting honesty from those in power? In this piece, R. R. Reno examines the culture of cynicism surrounding American institutions, from politics and higher education to public life, and argues that restoring trust will require leaders who value honor over wealth and integrity over self-interest.

For the first time since the world watched as Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burned in the devastating 2019 fire, the pope stepped inside the famous gothic cathedral and called on Catholics in France to be “living stones” of a Church that bears witness to how God’s love restores and heals humanity.
It was an emotional moment for many French Catholics as Pope Leo XIV led prayers Sept. 25 inside Notre Dame, which reopened to the public in December 2024.
“This Cathedral has been reborn so that you, too, may be reborn with it in a new impetus towards holiness and daily mission,” Pope Leo told the bishops, priests, deacons, and religious men and women gathered inside, speaking in French.

This article by @kvallier, where he synthesizes insights from Jacques Maritain and Gerald Gaus, is really brilliant.

Oak Hill house in Fairfax dates to 1790 & only opens once per year to public. The Boxwoods apparently are even older. Thomas Jefferson stayed her several times with his friends the Fitzhughs, relations to wife of Robert E. Lee, who also visited.

There’s no explanation for this that is good for the U.S.
President Trump’s messaging to the world on China.
“Trump broke with six decades of protocol by travelling to Joint Base Andrews to meet Xi upon his arrival. The gesture was all the more striking because Xi did not greet Trump at the airport in Beijing in May.
Just before Xi landed on Wednesday, US personnel got down on hands and knees to smooth out kinks in the red carpet that extended to the steps on which the Chinese leader would descend from his Air China Boeing 747.”

There is no better example I can think of how Trump isn’t a steward of America or remotely patriotic or even nationalistic. He is simply a partisan of his own ego. This is just gross. He’s trying to suck up to a dictator and adversary by mocking another American president. And, btw, the anonymous functionary running this account will be remembered as a tiny little throne-sniffing weasel.
"This is the autopen... it's Biden." 🤣
President Trump shows off the legendary Presidential Walk of Fame to President Xi.

The U.S. exports diesel to over 60 different countries. That diesel is used to produce goods that the U.S. then imports. For example, U.S. diesel exports to Chile represents a large share of Chile's domestic consumption. Chile is the world's largest producer and exporter of copper. Cutting off diesel exports from the U.S. puts all these trade flows at risk.

If you think women should be able to vote, have jobs, live alone, or have unsupervised access to one another, that is because "you have normalcy bias for insane world": "You're living in an insane asylum and you think it's the normal world." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

This is one of the finest essays on the moral inheritance of Western classical liberalism I have ever read, and I strongly recommend it if you can make the time.
🚨 Don't miss this new piece from @Mike_Burke_UK as he explores the moral inheritance beneath liberal democracy—and what it takes to keep liberty alive. Check it out through the link below!
