God, Leibniz, and this Best Possible World
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Most people do not take the trouble to understand things at their deepest level. They lack either interest or ability, or both. But philosophers, as men who aim and claim to understand things more deeply, are rare; and true philosophers, for reasons Plato gave in the Republic, are rarer still.
Philosophy done rightly is a central part of a broader Christian wisdom that takes all truths captive (2 Corinthians 10:5). The ruling or architectonic art and science, philosophy is inquiry into the nature of ultimate reality. By seeing and describing for humanity the nature and works of God, the true philosopher, as Augustine says in the City of God, gives the highest glory to God by his loving obedience to the Triune God's command to take all truths captive.

Bill of Rights and Christianity
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
What precipitated a need for a Bill of Rights in the initially ratified United States Federal Constitution? And what is the present interpretive effect of the First Amendment on the sharing of Biblical Christianity?
The Constitution of the United States was drafted in 1787 and then presented to the individual states for ratification. Those who advocated state ratification of the Constitution, as is, were called Federalists. Those who initially objected to state ratification, without additional protections, were called anti-federalists.

Supreme Court Ends the Last Vestige of 'Systemic Racism' in America
- By Josh Hammer
The U.S. Supreme Court issued the greatest majority opinion ever written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts. That one-time Obamacare savior, who in 2012 rewrote the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate as a "tax" in order to salvage President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy, this time penned a landmark ruling abolishing something the Left has been clamoring to abolish ever since the 2020 death of George Floyd and the subsequent "Great Awokening" that rocked the republic: "systemic racism" in America.

Civilizations Clash -- in Ukraine and at Home
- By Daniel McCarthy
Samuel Huntington got Ukraine wrong.
That's what a casual reader of "The Clash of Civilizations?" -- published in Foreign Affairs 30 years ago this summer -- might think.
Huntington was at the peak of his career as a political science professor and director of the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University when he wrote "the fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future."

A Russian Coup is Neocon Fantasy
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Media reactions to the recent "Wagner coup" highlights how all of us tend to believe what we want to believe, regardless of objective reality and actual conditions. Fallen humanity tends, in its thinking, toward the emotive fallacy, which says: "I want X to be true, therefore X is true."

Don't Let Hunter's Plea Deal Distract From the Real Biden Problem: Ukraine
- By Josh Hammer
In today's America, it sure is nice to be a Biden.
Presidential prodigal son Hunter Biden's transparently sweetheart plea deal consummated this week with his daddy's Justice Department encapsulates, in many ways, the two-tiered system of justice that conservatives have been decrying at least since then-FBI Director James Comey let then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton off scot-free for her infamous email server because, in his words, "no reasonable prosecutor" would have brought the case. After a five-year Department of Justice criminal probe, which was rocked in recent months by an IRS whistleblower coming forward to sound the alarm on the feds' all-too-predictable kid-gloves treatment of Hunter, the ex-crack addict and foreign influence-peddler will escape jail time and avoid any punishment at all (other than a two-year probation period) for having brazenly lied on a federal firearms background check form.

Will Patriots Continue Making Small Sacrifices?
- By Robin Itzler - Editor of Patriot Neighbors
One reason Marxist Democrats could eventually take over the United States of America (and they are on their way with centralized state voting) is because many conservative and Republican Patriots won’t make long-term small “sacrifices.”
Yes, Patriots attend protest rallies, sign petitions, applaud speakers at meetings, and write checks, but will we continue avoiding companies that promote woke?
In February, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred told teams that players should NOT wear pride rainbow-themed caps or uniform patches. Even with suggested restrictions, 29 of 30 Major League Baseball clubs held pride-related events in 2023.
