Secular Religion

Heretical Secular Religion

While a majority of Americans practice Christianity at home, our rulers submit to a heretical secular religion. And they've taken pains to make sure Christians' beliefs have zero impact on public life. You can safely call for an innocent child to spend the rest of his life behind bars, but…

Gomez Gets It

After sounding alarms that the Woke Cult is a parallel religion hostile to Christianity for years, it's encouraging to see members of the Church's hierarchy catching on. The leading Catholic bishop in the United States admonished the growing interest in intersectionality and identity politics, saying they are "pseudo-religions." Archbishop Jose…
VA Governor Race

VA Governor Race

It's possible to win some battles even while retreating. The GOP demonstrated that fact last night when they won the VA governor race for the first time in twelve years. For beleaguered Conservatives who'd been taking body blows since this time last year, the victory finally gave them something to…
Kabuki Theater

Kabuki Theater

Those who've made their way into the counterculture must admit that seeing the Left-Right dichotomy unmasked as kabuki theater was one of the hardest pills to swallow.

As the front man for an extreme moralizing movement, he oversees the implementation of sweeping neo-puritanical directives to enforce his sect's moral vision nationwide. Federal law enforcement is tasked with prosecuting…
American Flag Blindfold

Renfield Americans

An enduring meme phrase used to describe out-of-touch and out-of-control Western elites is "the Vampire Castle." This term gained traction because it's easy to picture people like Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, or Klaus Schwab dangling upside down from the rafters of some crumbling fortress overlooking the Rhine.  They may as…
Institutional Confidence

Institutional Confidence

As confidence in American institutions drops, support for secession rises. This shift is not exclusive to conservatives. Even liberals, who voted for a higher minimum wage, student debt forgiveness, and a clean withdrawal from Afghanistan, are disillusioned with our rulers. But dissidents aren't immune to cognitive dissonance. Members of Gen…
China Future

Showing up for the Future

The old proverb "The purpose of your life may be to serve as a warning to others" scales up to the national level, if China's swift and decisive reaction to the American Woke Cult is any indication. Over the last few weeks, China has shown that it isn’t just charting…
