I am excited to announce the @BenSasse Award from the Center for Faith and Flourishing (@CFFlourishing). The award promotes research from @JohnBrownUniv students on citizenship, religious and economic freedom, the marketplace of ideas, and more.
Stay tuned...
It was the best of times, it was the “ObAmA iS aN eLiTiSt FoR HiS cHeEsEcAkE fAcToRy CoMmEnT” of times
Thankful for a busy month of @CFFlourishing events, featuring Samuel James, Matthew Kaemingk and Shadi Hamid, and Lucas Morel.
This is obviously what will happen. It’s a culmination and continuation of the last decade-plus of confirmation politics. And it isn’t good.
It is quite possible that the new rule — the Schumer Rule? — will be that if one party has the majority, it will _never_ hold a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee from a president of the other party, no matter how much time remains until the next election. Democrats talk a lot about expanding the Supreme Court, but if, God forbid, there’s an unexpected vacancy in the next two years, they may well end up shrinking it temporarily.
Progression of a campaign signage battle at a key intersection in my small town.
Local politics is the best.
There's a segment of the right, including Very Online Christians, who claim conservative Christians like me need to "get on board" with Vance 2028.
Maybe we're hesitant not because Orange Man Bad, but because Vance may turn out to be an awful candidate?
it's a little amusing that for all of his tough talk JD does not want to discuss the substance of the ad at all teapawt.org/factpostnews/status/21…

Yes. Every Christian should steward their citizenship wisely. I believe every Christian should vote. But the vote doesn’t begin in November every two years. It begins earlier. In primaries. In showing up and choosing the best candidate who matches character and policy. In local elections. In the things you choose to speak out about and those things you choose to be silent about.
If your only framework for politics is two weeks in November, you are not that engaged. You are disengaged.

I was on the stage with them for one of their debates. Eric began his remarks with “Jane, you ignorant slut.” Hard to forget something like that!
That Mr. French has debated me twice is "pure fiction." Also, he has lifted humorlessness into an art form, bringing a level of dedication to it that is genuinely impressive. Sad!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Eric Metaxas and David French participated in two public debates in 2020 about whether Christians should vote for Donald Trump one at the Q Summit and another at John Brown University. youtube.com/watch?v=CuYk4-… thewayofimprovement.blog/2020/04/25/tra… christianpost.com/news/christian…

Reading some of the coverage of Justice Kagan's interview at Catholic University yesterday, which I attended, and it seems to me to exaggerate how tough she was towared her conservative colleagues. 1/6

There is a reason they didn't simply ask the question: "Is empathy good for society or bad for society?" I'm so tired of these dumb, manipulative questions that do more to obscure reality than to clarify it.
