Three FBI agent whistleblowers, Marcus Allen, Garrett O’Boyle and Steve Friend testified in front of a House committee against the weaponization of the FBI that sought to have parents who spoke out at school board meetings labeled as ‘domestic terrorists’; the agency sought to recruit spies and informants inside traditional Catholic church communities; the FBI worked hand-in-hand with social media platforms over the last two elections to censor and silence conservatives online (including some political candidates); they worked with Bank of America (BoA) in obtaining confidential banking records collected in Washington, DC during the January 6 protest without correct legal process and highlighted gun ownership; and the FBI intentionally inflated data to make domestic extremism out to be a larger threat than it is in reality.

A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
