The new US State Department has new policies. Previously it spent $7.4 million in federal funds to support various Hungarian opposition parties’ election campaigns against the popular Christian government of Hungary.
State Department official Pete Marocco has pledged to immediately terminate all aid programs aimed at interfering in Hungary’s internal affairs or promoting migration in relation to Hungary. Additionally, the US administration indicated that after a comprehensive reassessment of US aid policy, it plans to restore Hungarian-American cooperation in assisting Iraqi Christians, a collaboration that existed during Trump’s first term in office. The Hungarian government developed the only official cabinet agency to assist persecuted Christians around the world, into which it has invested billions of Hungarian Forints.
Marocco called this policy "a model to follow."
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
