Free Republic

Leave it to the folks in Las Vegas to add some entertainment to the entire election day process. They show up for all the big events with promises of a good time and free lap dances for those who qualify. What better way to sit back and relax after performing your civic duty than by watching the electoral map drama unfold at a strip club? I can't think of any. Those who voted get a free lap dance after all.

As I wrote in “A Left-centered, not a God-centered, nation” from October 2021, “throughout America’s existence, our elections have moved between conservative and liberal philosophical paradigms….” While I believe that this has been the case historically, let me proffer that I believe that the 2024 election, and its subsequent governing period, will be revolutionary in nature, not business-as-usual. Whether it mirrors our American revolution and the re-affirmation of our republican ideals, or France’s “reign of terror” will be determined through the ballot box, and/or subsequent shenanigans, which coincidentally always benefit the Democrats. If Kamala Harris prevails (not wins, or earns...

on June 29, 2020, the Indian government banned TikTok, along with 58 other Chinese apps, after a simmering conflict between India and China flared into violence at their border. ...India’s online life soon adapted to TikTok’s absence. Meta’s Instagram swooped in with its Reels and Alphabet’s YouTube with Shorts, both TikTok-like products, and converted many of the influencers. ...The decision by India to cut its population off from TikTok was as sudden as the American efforts, which began in 2020, were protracted. But the motivation was similar — and even more dramatic. Whereas the United States and China are engaged...

I know it’s crazy, but I continue to get the print edition of the New York Times delivered to my front door every day. It’s part of my mission to keep up with what the other side is thinking. I read it (less and less) so that you don’t have to. But even an occasional skim makes it obvious that with every passing year and day they retreat ever more from serious news, and descend ever further into crazed partisan zealotry. So imagine my surprise this morning when the entire central portion of page 1, covering three of six column...

“Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24-25). Christians have been delivered from sin’s power and will one day be delivered from its presence. The godly Puritan writer Thomas Watson once said that a sure sign of sanctification is a hatred and loathing of sin. It was his hatred of sin that caused Paul to cry out as he wrapped up his spiritual autobiography, “Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” That...

As red states like Florida, Indiana and Missouri pass laws banning their state investment boards from involvement with Chinese funds, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has allowed his state’s backing of Beijing to grow. As governor of the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Walz — the Democratic vice presidential candidate — has significant authority over the selection of members of the Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI), who are typically either elected or appointed by a comptroller or treasurer in other states. Since Walz became governor in 2019, SBI appointees have directed roughly 70% of the approximately $1.3 billion moved into Chinese...

At a recent rally in Juneau, Wisconsin, Donald Trump urged evangelical Christians to vote, saying: "I’ll tell you another one that don’t vote — I love these people — evangelical Christians. The Christian community doesn’t vote as much as they should. They go to church. So now what we are going to do is go to church and we are to get out and vote. ... If they did vote, we couldn’t lose an election." Trump’s concerns are echoed by a recent article in The Jerusalem Post, which cites a recent report from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian...
