As it becomes harder and harder to deny the fracturing of the global economy and the waning relevance of the dollar, Jerome Powell is suddenly talking about CBDCs again—I am not the type of guy to say that everything is planned or coordinated by the elite, but we would be remiss if we didn't note that they're obviously taking advantage of the circumstances.

The system always has some kind of jiu-jitsu move up its sleeve to redirect inconvenient trends and parlay them into something that fits their long-term agenda—they don't have to orchestrate everything if they simply think several steps ahead and maintain contingency plans.

I grew up with European Christians as my heroes. (A list of some of them follow.)

Now it feels like we are "strangers in the world, scattered".

Are we even a people anymore? Much less "a people belonging to God"?

My heart says He is not done with us yet. But not just my heart! A personal story...

When I was young I was listening to a missionary speak.

I wondered if foreign missions would be my calling. So I asked the Lord, with complete willingness.

In one of the handful of times where the voice of the Lord has been utterly clear to me, He said No.

My calling was to stay in the US, in the West.

And this was not light duty but He made it clear that this would be a challenge, a battleground.

So I have obeyed, despite my love of international travel.

He has not given up on us.

Some personal heroes:

Courageous heroes like Richard Wurmbrand, Brother Andrew ("God's Smugger"), Corrie Ten Boom.

Writers like Fyodor Dostoevsky, CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

I ❤️ my pet.

Baby.

Fun new website pointing to all my things!

“More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”

“The knee-jerk reaction of many conservatives is to dismiss woke cultural norms as insane, crazy, or bizarre. That sentiment can be very dangerous, causing us to turn a blind eye to the utility these beliefs offer as instruments of power.”

"But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody"

Tom Woods Law states that "No matter who you vote for, you always get John McCain."

This great thread spells out the evil of this much lionized hero of the regime.

Today, on my 53rd birthday, my co-host Ryan Turnipseed (recently turned 19) encouraged an Ask Me Anything stream. Let's do it!

This is fascinating!

Be sure to scroll through all the maps.

These phrases, which we each came up with on-the-fly, have particularly made people glad they watched this cozy stream:

Stephen: “unnatural elites”

Ryan: “NPC patriotism”

Such is the reason for the Buddhist saying, “not even for a joke will I tell a lie”.

So right! Definitely recommend up to 12:30 where Turley puts today's decision in the context of the larger attack on the family and, indeed, all of the deeper commitments that, while challenging, give life meaning.

There won’t be riots on the scale of 2020 says Michael Tracey.

Who is he?

One of the only journalists to properly cover the 2020 riots.

“They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to demons,
And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with blood.”

Psalms 106:37-38

“For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.”

Psalms 30:5

Nothing, however, is as ill founded as the assertion of the alleged equality of all members of the human race.
—Ludwig Von Mises

"It's not apologetics. It's not eschatology. It's that you love one another that demonstrates you are in Christ."
