We need to remeber that the genocide of the Canaanites was not righteous because it was commanded by God. Rather, it was commanded by God because it was fundamentally righteous.

Joshua's campaign was holy and just, and similar actions by subsequent Christian kings were equally so.

Now this doesn't mean we shouldn't refute false claims of genocide, such as the alleged "genocide" of the Native Americans (see a great rebuttal below), but we ought to keep in mind what means are legitimately on the table for a Christian king.

LED headlights are gay, annoying, and most importantly un-American.

Normie author, but a great book to recommend to your normie friends who are destroying their children by giving them phones and access to the internet at a young age. He goes hardline on the issue of internet use for children, and it cannot be overstated how important it is to keep your children offline for as long as possible.

Hot take incoming: we don't win by losing; we win by winning. This and more groundbreaking patriotism on an excellent edition of the John Doyle show (one of the few podcasts I listen to religiously).

John Calvin on the Baptism of Our Lord

He received the same baptism with us, in order to assure believers, that they are ingrafted into his body, and that they are "buried with him in baptism," that they may rise to "newness of life".....

The general reason why Christ received baptism was, that he might render full obedience to the Father; and the special reason was, that he might consecrate baptism in his own body, that we might have it in common with him.

St. Augustine on the Baptism of Our Lord

He deigned to be baptized of John that the servants might see with what readiness they ought to run to the baptism of our Lord, when he did not refuse to be baptized of his servant.

As a tax accountant, I'm intimately familiar with the ways in which our tax system is designed to incentivize certain behaviors, and much of this structure is actually good.

One excellent item Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill (or OBBBA as we call it in the business) introduced was a remittance tax of 1%. I did some research and the state of Oklahoma also has a remittance tax, a flat $5 fee per transfer.

I would encourage all of us to mainstream state-level remittance taxes as a standard GOP policy. It's an easy pitch to the average voter and discourages immigrants, both legal and illegal.

In my state, FL, there is an estimated $12-15B of annual remittances. Levying a more substantial 20% tax could net up to $3B, redirecting those dollars out of Latin America and into red state hands. It's hard to say what remigration effects this might have, but I'd guess probably ~100k people over a 5-year period.

Another mainstream GOP position we should push at the state and local level is English proficiency for Driver's Licenses.

As our signage and laws are all in English, it's obvious that one needs to be proficient in English to be a remotely safe driver.

The Naturalization Act of 1790 was the first U.S. law to define who could become a citizen. Signed into law by George Washington himself, the act highlights how the Founders perceived a degree of common kinship as integral to the state.

Rest in peace to Scott Adams. Yes, I know he had some cringe moments, but what I think characterizes him most is honesty, forthrightness, and loyalty.

When he was wrong about covid and the vax, he admitted it candidly. He tanked his mainstream career for being honest about negroes, and for being personally loyal to Trump.

Most importantly, he had a conversion, not quite on death's bed but directly before. And surely we could quibble with how he phrased it, but when one has only a limited time to come to terms with one's death, our pride is broken, and one's heart is open, the Lord does amazing things.

I have far more hope of seeing Scott Adams in heaven than John Piper or any other "woke" person with "better" theology.

It is strategically intelligent for the right to *nominally* support Israel because this divides the left's (((donor class))) and activist class.

The left is a bizarre coalition of conflicting ethnic resentments, hysteria, and dysfunction, truly the spiteful mutants. If the right can use the issue of Israel as a wedge to break it apart, all the better.

But low IQ third worlders simply won't understand any political strategy that involves more than one step. The thoughts of men like Bismarck or Machiavelli might as well be a foreign language to them.

When you remove temporal loyalties, people don't become universalist saints; they become crude, demonic nihilists.

This kind of take has become popular recently.

Such people can only concieve of comic book level morality, "good guys and bad guys." All they know is Hollywood level "they're the evil empire and I'm the hecking good rebels." And ultimately, because Hollywood is a Jewish lie, their fanfic accelerationism is just as unrealistic.

They have no understanding of concepts like political cooperation, temporary alliances, internal power struggles, overlapping aims, or any multifaceted political theory.

If they were so freaking smart, why aren't they the ones in charge, making things better?

I'm freaking this close to swearing off NEOTR and lambasting these freaking limp wristed whiny terminally online blackpilling losers. And I will if I have to hear again how Trump deporting 3M immigrants last year was just a personal favor to freaking Netanyahu.

And with interest rates dropping over the past year, this kind of progress is especially impressive.

In case you were wondering why society has feminized and T levels are plummeting. Note that simply having mothers homeschool, while it will do much to prevent sinful influence, doesn't itself undo the feminine ubiquity.

It's time to start talking about what restitution we should demand from nonwhites. At a minimum, all foreign owned assets in the US could be justly siezed to reimburse the expenses imposed on us.

Another standard GOP policy should be IDing fraudsters, imposing fines, tracing funds, and refunding them to taxpayers.

Compare this to a map of the 2024 election results and you'll see why it's essential to insist that America is a Protestant nation. Not to say Catholics can't be guests, or maybe even citizens, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a Protestant nation.
