"More of my friends talk about wanting to move to Dubai than serve their own country.
"Consistently, the elite class has stripped away all of the guardrails and sources of meaning that young people like me used to cling to —our national identity, our national culture, our strong families, our local identities. All of it is steadily being whittled away to make room for an incredibly hollow, vague, and meaningless celebration of universal ‘diversity’, a notion of diversity that celebrates any and every group in society except the one group that will soon be relied upon to defend and save our country from external threats —straight, white, working-class men.
"Liberal Boomers might be shocked to discover that so few Zoomer men, like me, are willing to fight and die for our country. But I am not. While the radical progressive elites who dominate the institutions tell themselves they are creating a society that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, in reality they have created a society that is, as JD Vance said, falling apart from within —a society that is bitterly divided, filled with hate, riddled with a corrosive identity politics and two-tier justice, and rigged in favour of every and any minority group at the expense of young people like me from the British majority. So, no, Keir Starmer, if you ask me I won’t be heading off to fight and potentially die for Britain. Why should I? What, exactly, would I be fighting for?"

"The problem with the evangelical elite is that there isn’t one. All too few evangelical Christians hold senior positions in the culture-shaping domains of American society. Evangelicals don’t run movie studios or serve as editors in chief of major newspapers or as presidents of elite universities. There are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court. There are hardly any leading evangelical academics or artists. There are few evangelicals at commanding heights of finance. The prominent evangelicals in Silicon Valley can be counted on one hand. There are not even many evangelicals leading influential conservative think tanks and publications, despite the fact that evangelicals are one of the largest and most critical voting blocs in the Republican coalition. Two domains are exceptions that prove the rule: politics and business."

On the way to Brussels for the European Council summit, Prime Minister Orbán warned that despite a long and diverse agenda, the coming days will be defined by a single, decisive question: war or peace.
It will be a volatile summit, with long-lasting consequences. Hungarian PM Orbán draws a clear distinction between those advocating continued military and financial aid to Ukraine and those calling for restraint.
Hungary, he emphasized, belongs to the latter group. “We say that no strategic decisions should be taken now,” the prime minister said, arguing that the EU should support ongoing American peace efforts and wait for the outcome of U.S.-Russian negotiations rather than making irreversible commitments.
A particularly contentious issue is the future of frozen Russian assets. PM Orbán explained that until recently, the continuation of asset freezes required unanimous approval by member states every six months, allowing Hungary to express its opposition. He said this legal ...
Today marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of fiction author Jane Austen, who examined ordinary, day-to-day, small-town family life within an Overton window-frame which once included Biblical civilization and ethics.
The world of Jane Austen's generation was rapidly pivoting the Overton window to a secular worldview, and so were the cultures of contemporary nations.
Lord David Cecil, a biographer of Miss Austen, noted this comparison between authors:
"If I were in doubt as to the wisdom of one of my actions, I should not consult Flaubert or Dostoyevsky. The opinion of Balzac or Dickens would carry little weight with me: were Stendhal to rebuke me, it would only convince me I had done right: even in the judgment of Tolstoy I should not put complete confidence. But I should be seriously upset, I should worry for weeks and weeks, if I incurred the disapproval of Jane Austen."
