Our Father in heaven, please watch over us and give us strength to triumph over spiritual wickedness wherever we find it. Shine your grace upon us in these times so that we may have your full protection from the deceit and evil of the devil. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

When Jesus hung out with sinners, they changed… He didn’t.

Tout le monde pense que le monde libre a gagné en 1989, à la chute du mur de Berlin. C'est faux. Et c'est exactement pour ça que le monde est aujourd'hui en feu. Ce qui est tombé le 9 novembre 1989, c'est un appareil. Une économie planifiée, un empire militaire, un mur de béton. Ce qui n'est pas tombé, c'est l'idée. L'idée que le monde se divise en oppresseurs et en opprimés. L'idée qu'il existe une égalité finale à atteindre, par tous les moyens. L'idée que tout ce qui existe (la famille, la nation, le mérite, l'héritage) est une structure de domination à abattre. Cette idée-là n'était plus dans le bâtiment quand le bâtiment s'est effondré. Il faut reprendre la chronologie, parce que tout est dans la chronologie : Le communisme économique avait un défaut fatal : il était réfutable. Il promettait l'abondance, il produisait des famines. Il promettait l'émancipation, il produisait des barbelés. Budapest 1956, Prague 1968, L'Archipel du Goulag publié à Paris en 1973, les boat people de 1979 : à chaque décennie, le réel envoyait sa réfutation. Les boat people étaient une réfutation flottante, visible depuis les plages. Alors l'idéologie a fait ce que fait tout organisme menacé : elle a muté. La mutation a un nom, et j'en ai raconté la généalogie ici : la French Theory. Foucault a déplacé la guerre du terrain des faits, où le communisme perdait à chaque fois, vers le terrain du savoir lui-même. S'il n'y a pas de vérité, s'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir, alors plus aucune famine, plus aucun mur, plus aucun goulag ne peut réfuter quoi que ce soit. La French Theory n'a pas enterré le marxisme. Elle l'a rendu irréfutable. Et la mutation a des dates. Toutes antérieures à 1989. 1934 : l'École de Francfort, chassée d'Allemagne, s'installe à Columbia. La critique de l'économie devient critique de la culture. 1964-1965 : Marcuse, exilé allemand devenu professeur américain, remplace le prolétariat défaillant par un nouveau sujet révolutionnaire (les minorités, les étudiants, les marginaux) et écrit noir sur blanc que la tolérance doit être accordée aux mouvements de gauche et refusée à ceux de droite. Octobre 1966 : le débarquement a une date précise. Université Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. Derrida, Barthes, Lacan présentent la pensée française aux campus américains. 1967 : Rudi Dutschke lance le mot d'ordre, la longue marche à travers les institutions. 1968 : les révolutions de rue échouent partout. Qu'importe. La révolution ne passera plus par la rue, elle passera par la salle de classe. 1975-1985 : Yale, Berkeley, Columbia absorbent la théorie, qui devient le système d'exploitation des humanités. 1987 : Allan Bloom publie The Closing of the American Mind pour donner l'alerte. Un million d'exemplaires vendus. L'université le traite de réactionnaire et passe à autre chose. L'Amérique avait son Aron, elle en a fait la même chose que nous du nôtre. Puis arrive le 9 novembre 1989. Le Mur tombe. L'Occident célèbre. Fukuyama avait déclaré la fin de l'Histoire dès l'été, avant même la chute. On démantèle les missiles, on encaisse les dividendes de la paix, on déclare le match terminé. Nous avons célébré notre victoire sur une adresse vide. L'idéologie avait déménagé vingt ans plus tôt. Nous avons gagné contre les chars et perdu contre les chaires. Pendant ce temps, l'autre empire communiste faisait la lecture inverse. Pékin avait écrasé Tian'anmen dans le sang cinq mois avant Berlin. Sinistre, mais lucide sur un point : la Chine savait que la guerre était idéologique. Elle a choisi : abandonner l'économie marxiste, garder le contrôle du récit. L'Occident a fait l'exact opposé : il a gardé le marché et absorbé l'idéologie. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, regardez qui construit des centrales et qui déboulonne ses statues. Vous voulez la preuve que c'est le même logiciel ? Faites la table de correspondance. La lutte des classes est devenue la lutte des identités. Les koulaks sont devenus les privilégiés. L'autocritique maoïste est devenue le privilege checking. Les commissaires politiques sont devenus les DEI officers. Le samizdat est devenu le compte shadowbanné. La nomenklatura a quitté Moscou pour Davos et Bruxelles. Et le paradis ne s'appelle plus la société sans classes : il s'appelle l'équité, l'égalité des résultats. Exactement ce que je décrivais ici il y a quelques semaines. On me dira : il n'y a pas de Goulag. C'est vrai. C'est même tout le génie de la version 2.0. Le communisme dur devait briser les corps parce qu'il ne tenait pas les esprits. Le communisme mou tient les esprits : il lui suffit de briser les carrières. Pas de camps, des services RH. Pas de procès de Moscou, des excuses publiques. Pas de Sibérie, la mort sociale. Demandez aux émigrés du bloc de l'Est installés en Occident ce qu'ils ressentent en traversant une université américaine en 2026. Ils reconnaissent l'odeur. Et voilà pourquoi le monde est en feu. Une civilisation a passé trente-cinq ans à enseigner à ses propres enfants qu'elle était le problème. Résultat : elle ne sait plus défendre ses frontières, transmettre son héritage, ni même nommer ses ennemis. Quand la présidente de Harvard, devant le Congrès, répond que condamner un appel au génocide « dépend du contexte », vous voyez le logiciel tourner en production. Et les prédateurs du dehors lisent cette faiblesse comme un livre ouvert : Moscou teste, Pékin patiente, l'islamisme avance dans les rues de nos capitales. Le feu extérieur n'est que la conséquence du désarmement intérieur. On ne brûle bien que les maisons qui se sont vidées de leurs défenseurs. Le Mur n'est pas tombé. Il s'est déplacé. Il ne sépare plus l'Est de l'Ouest : il passe désormais à l'intérieur de chaque institution occidentale, entre ceux qui construisent et ceux qui déconstruisent. La première guerre froide s'est gagnée avec des missiles et du PIB. La seconde se gagnera avec des écoles, des médias libres et des modèles d'IA. Celui qui écrit les valeurs dans les machines écrira le prochain 1989. Cette fois, ne nous trompons pas de victoire. Au travail.

Here is a great quote from C. S. Lewis’—“The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe.” Lewis shares powerful Bible truths in this great little book. This quote is about Aslan, the King. Aslan is an archetype of Jesus. Is Jesus safe?? That all depends. Jesus is good & is the King!

It’s always A good day when I know I’ve helped someone else, because he wanted it. All small things are good. Keep it simple, listen, and stay in the light.✨

Lots of folks are struggling right now. Whether big or small problems, I just hope we’re all still able to help each other on hard days. Stay light on your feet and in your heart please 🙏🏻 ✨ Try and listen A little more. ✨

Pray! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 💪🏼 💪🏼 🕊️ 🕊️

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today. Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome." Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too. Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man. When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was. Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him. Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas. Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate. He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family. Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government. I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in. God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly. You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.

The boasting in his voice is what’s wrong with everything today. “I know I’m doing something wrong but I’m going to be prideful about getting away with it.!” Shameless and gross you are. 🤦‍♀️

Keep in mind literally ALL of the people who say Karmelo Anthony had the right I stab a kid to death for telling him to leave a tent also said that Rittenhouse did not have the right to use lethal force against an armed mob chasing him down the street to kill him

🙏🏼I think I just found my new favorite UFC fighter, Bryce Mitchell. What an inspirational message about our Lord and savior, the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. Watch Bryce fight back tears while explaining the brutal death, and the sacrifice our Lord made for us.

Whenever a Christian points to the Bible and says homosexuality is a sin, there are usually two responses. The first is straightforward: “I don’t believe the Bible.” At least that position is honest. The second response is more common. Instead of openly rejecting Scripture, people try to argue that the Bible doesn’t actually condemn homosexuality. “What about mixed fabrics?” “What about dietary laws?” “What about shellfish?” Notice that these questions are almost never asked by people who are trying to figure out how to obey God. If they were, they would be willing to obey whatever answer Scripture gave. Instead, the goal is usually to say, “You’re a hypocrite.” But even if someone were a hypocrite, that would not change what God has said. A hypocrite’s sin does not excuse your own. The reality is that Christians have been answering these objections for two thousand years. Scripture distinguishes between laws that were temporary and pointed forward to Christ, and laws that reflect God’s unchanging moral character. Dietary restrictions and clothing regulations belonged to Israel’s ceremonial laws. They served a purpose in redemptive history and were fulfilled in Christ. Sexual morality is different. It is rooted in creation itself. God made mankind male and female. He established marriage. He commanded man to be fruitful and multiply. Homosexuality is not merely the violation of an arbitrary rule; it is a rejection of God’s created design. One of the clearest ways to see the difference is to look at how God judged the pagan nations. He never condemned the Canaanites for wearing mixed fabrics. He did judge them for sexual immorality, including homosexual practice. That tells you which commands were temporary and which apply to all people in all places. The truth is that most people raising these objections are not searching for answers. They are searching for justification. They want a way to silence their conscience while continuing in their rebellion. But the conscience is stubborn. It keeps reminding men that they belong to God and will answer to Him. That is why the world cannot simply practice its sin in peace. It must celebrate it, parade it, and demand approval for it. Every disagreement feels like a threat because it reminds them of the Judge they are trying to escape. And that is the one thing no man will ever succeed in doing.

On This Day in 1789: James Madison introduces what would become the Bill of Rights. June 8, 1789. James Madison stood before the House of Representatives in New York City and proposed a series of amendments that would become the foundation of American liberty. The Father of the Constitution initially wasn’t quite sold on a Bill of Rights when John Hancock offered the conciliatory proposal the prior year. He already believed the Constitution’s limited powers were safeguard enough. But Anti-Federalist warnings, state concerns about the General Welfare, Supremacy, and Necessary and Proper clauses, pressure from his Virginia constituents, and letters from Thomas Jefferson helped evolve his thinking. Madison came to agree that explicit protections for individual rights were essential to secure the new republic. In a powerful speech, he laid out amendments protecting: •Freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly and petition •The right to keep and bear arms Security against unreasonable searches •Due process, speedy trials, and protection from self-incrimination •Rights of the people and states not explicitly listed The House of Representatives passed a joint resolution with 17 amendments on August 24, 1789, based on Madison’s proposals. These would be debated down to 12 (a few were redundant) and the states would approve 10 which would became our sacred Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791. Our founders understood something timeless. Government power always tends to expand. Written guarantees of natural rights are the chains we place on it. The Bill of Rights is not a gift from government. It is a declaration that our rights preexist government, simply by the sanctity of us being human, and government must never infringe them. Liberty requires vigilance. Fun fact: a pay proposal became Article the Second in the final package Congress sent to the states on September 25, 1789, and, while not passed by the states then, it would end up being ratified as the 27th amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1992.

Larry Ellison asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer. A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing. Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question. Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?” One question. No recovery. Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?” This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline? Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.” They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing. They have never built anything heavier than a Word document. And they publish it with absolute certainty. That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in. Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home. His critics operate in a text editor. He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap. His loudest critics built a byline. So why the coordinated hatred? Because they lost the leash. The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think. They don’t hate the engineer. They hate that the engineer took their monopoly. You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics. They own the syntax. He owns the physics. One of them is going to Mars.

~Happy Veteran’s Month! Thank God for you who gave us the freedom of this beautiful country to live and speak freely! God Bless your service and sacrifices.! ~ 🫡 🇺🇸 ✨🙏🏻✨
