Demographic white pills are out there. 3rd world fertility is cratering faster than the West, and among religious conservatives in the West, fertility is increasing.

I attended a majority Hispanic church for a while during Covid as they were one of the few open. There was a family there who would not allow their 18yo daughter to have a job, go to college, or even go to the skating rink with my sister (same age).

Such overprotectiveness seems odd, until you realize what they believe they are protecting against. I also found out it is common for kids to live at uncles' and aunts' houses for extended periods of time. You can do the math from there.

Hispanics do not have "family values." To the extent they love their families, it's usually a little too much.

What is happening with hispanics?

"Helpmeet" is not a real word. Please do not embarrass yourself by saying it.

The KJV says in Genesis 2, "[God] will make a help meet for him," as in a helper fit, or suitable for him.

I cringe so freaking hard every time I hear someone say "helpmeet" trying to flex their vocabulary but actually revealing their unfortunate sub-130 IQ.

The "Founding Fathers" were all White Christian Nationalists. Sure, maybe they read a little too much Montesquieu or weren't adequately devout, but there's no doubt what they thought "our posterity" meant.

Secular dating culture posits that attraction must precede love, and that commitment is optional. Christian dating culture posits that commitment must precede love, and attraction is optional.

The Biblical model, however, is neither. Attraction precedes commitment, and love is mandatory. Attraction is also overrated by the secular culture; healthy adults of the opposite sex will have basic attraction. Similarly, commitment is overrated by the Christian culture; men will not simply fork over commitment if they aren't guaranteed love and respect in return.

What secular culture gets right is that romance cannot function without attraction. What Christian culture gets right is that the man must make the first move (and men are the gatekeepers of commitment in the same way women gatekeep sex).

The secular culture demands nothing of men, which leaves women unsatisfied; the Christian culture demands nothing of women, which leaves men unsatisfied. Obviously lopsided transactions like this are doomed to fail.

A blessed Transfiguration Sunday to all. May we be transfigured in His likeness from glory to glory. Though I know it is not relevant in terms of narrative, I think Wagner's Verwanglungsmusik (transformation music) scene from Parsifal fits the scene nicely.

The words of Wagner, "You see my son, here time becomes space," while meant for a totally different context, capture the reality: The law and the prophets of the old age pay homage to Jesus, and the age which is passing away manifests in space on Mount Tabor.

The artistry of Raphael in this painting, his final work, also depicts the awe and wonder of the infinite God breaking into the darkness of our time and space -- here God's eternal Logos redeems our time and space.

Open borders are a revolt against natural law. There are plenty of good theonomic arguments against immigration, but if St. Paul were alive today, I believe his opening statement would be, "Does not nature itself teach you that open borders are shameful?"

Just as the "gospel centeredness" idea wounded the church's ability to speak to culture, so the law centeredness of theonomy has (to a degree) harmed our ability to speak in terms of natural law.

In reality, we need both. Law AND gospel, natural AND noscriptural law.

To all blackpillers, panicans, and accelerationists:

What is your plan? I get it; you think the politics is ineffective and Trump has BeTrAyEd us. You poor muffin.

Ok, well what's your alternative?

I don't think political victory is inevitable or even likely. But I do think it's possible. Slim odds, but I'd give us a fighting chance. I think the odds of surviving a collapse as an intact society on the other side are even slimmer.

As you age, this is when your life investments should ideally be starting to mature. Your kids are entering adulthood, and get to watch them be competent and faithful. You should be consistently progressing your career and skills. You'll be getting grandchildren! And you'll have the chance to bless the next generation and your church with your accumulated wisdom and wealth.

There is a distinct reason the Bible says to stand up before the hoary head.

A woman childless at 30 is at a 50/50 chance of never having children. It is essential to prevent this from happening.

If you are a woman unmarried at 30, settle. If you're a parent, one of your primary tasks is to help your kids select a suitable partner.

An addendum to this I recently realized. At Pentecost, the pilgrims in Jerusalem...

"were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language..."

God's redemption of Babel PRESERVED the uniqueness and distinctions of the tongues and nations. God did not bring them back into speaking one tongue. This shows us that distinct nations and tongues are part of God's creational plan, and we see here that the grace of Pentecost restored, not destroyed, nature.

FL just did this at the state level for all driver's licenses.

Not sure why this isn't getting more coverage and attention. Third known attempt on Trump's life.

A good reminder to keep praying for the administration.

Marijuana use is skyrocketing in the U.S. It is more important than ever now for the church to reiterate the sinfulness and harm of marijuana, especially given the now very well proven links to psychotic episodes.

The recent Tucker interviews with Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and Doug Wilson show that the pro-Israel side is completely incapable of winning a debate.

Even though his arguments are frankly lackluster, it is obvious to any observer that the pro-Isael side is bankrupt.

Where do we go from here? First, press the advantage. Second, use the victory to refocus on replacement, which is the primary issue. And third, pray for our own souls that we will never be so blinded, blackmailed, or bribed as these men are.

Woke pastors like Matt Chandler will talk about "microaggressions" by Whites whereas blacks murdering robbing and raping Whites never gets mentioned. And sure it may be only a small subset which actually commits the crime, but nearly all "ordinary" blacks will make sure they get away with it.

Actual footage of the task before us.
