Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Is a Debt Ceiling Constitutional?

Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes says "Yes."

"Subsection 4 of the 14th Amendment provides: “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law…shall not be questioned.” This imposes three elements: first, it concerns “public debt”; second, that public debt must be “authorized by law”; and third, the only limitation is that it “not be questioned.” Of note, section 5 only gives one branch “power to enforce” this – Congress “by appropriate legislation.” At the outset, there is an argument that no role exists for any branch of government but Congress, as Congress alone is given the power to enforce. However, unsurprisingly, both the executive and judicial branch reject this limit on their own power, and claim the right to enforce it themselves, treating the provision as simply an authorization of legislation, and not a restriction on the other branches of government. As the historical context makes clear, this Amendment focused on future Confederates joining Congress and revoking the debt issued during the Civil War, or trying to require Union repayments of Confederate debt. The application of this provision to current times shows the expansive effect of its plain language."

No More Defense of the Faith

Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”

A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.

A Disease of the Soul

“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

Argentinian President Javier Milei
