I recently had the pleasure of reading Leah Libresco’s fine new book Building the Benedict Option: A Guide to Gathering Two or Three Together in His Name. Despite the title, the book has very little to do with large-scale questions of Western civilization or the future of Christianity in a secularizing age. Instead, it’s something far simpler and more refreshing: a straightforward how-to guide for building “thick” Christian community with one’s friends and neighbors.

New National Climate Assessment. Fake? Or Fact?
The new National Climate Assessment claims that the worst scenario could cost the US 10% of our GDP in coming years. The Leftist press is breathlessly reporting, while incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is promising to spend billions to save our nation. But when you learn who helped fund the report, and get a sense of how the assessment actually squares with real science---the fog clears.

Why People Are So Divided on Immigration (Hint: We Speak Different Political Languages)
People tend to talk past one another and rarely, if ever, achieve a real meeting of the minds on political controversies. Liberals frame issues in terms of the struggle between oppressors and the oppressed. Conservatives frame issues in terms of the struggle between civilization and barbarism. Libertarians, meanwhile, frame issues in terms of the struggle between liberty and power
The Irony of a Congressman's Proposal to Exempt Police from His “Assault Weapons” Ban
If the intent is to reduce deaths by firearms, then law enforcement should be the first to hand in their “assault weapons.”

Socialism is no longer a parlor game for academics but a political alternative taken seriously by millennials. “They don’t recognize that much of what they enjoy in life is a result of capitalism and would disappear if socialism were to be implemented." This is the reality of socialism — a pseudo-religion grounded in pseudo-science and enforced by political tyranny.

I am sorry to spoil your preparations for Christmas before the Christmas lights have even gone up—though perhaps it is better to do this now than the week before Christmas, when everything has been carefully prepared. But Jesus wasn’t born in a stable, and, curiously, the New Testament hardly even hints that this might have been the case.

Denmark to Isolate Returning Jihadists, Criminal Migrants on Deserted Island
Criminal immigrants whom Denmark is unable to expel from the country will be placed on a deserted island in Stege Bay south of the Danish capital, the tabloid newspaper BT reported. The decision came after budget negotiations with the right-wing Danish People's Party, who wholeheartedly welcomed the message. According to Danish Finance Minister Kristian Jensen of the liberal-conservative Venstre party, criminal foreigners slated to be expelled from Denmark will in the future be placed on the uninhabited island of Lindholm, located in the south-eastern part of the country, about 80 kilometres south of Copenhagen, where staff from the Prison and Probation Service also will be stationed. Among others, the decision will apply to rejected asylum seekers who have a criminal record and 'foreign fighters' (returning jihadists).

LAWS MANDATING SAME-SEX ACCOMMODATIONS THREATEN 1ST AMENDMENT, FILING ARGUES
"Because in this case, as in many cases involving disputes over state or federal agency actions, the “judges” who decide them are administrative law judges. That means they’re not part of the judiciary at all, but are simply agency employees beholden to the agency for their salaries and more." "Yet many of the judges who resolve the dispute between the individual and the agency work for the agency. In one instance, the head of a federal consumer protection bureau went after a mortgage lender for allegedly violating a vague real estate law. An administrative law judge imposed a fine of six million dollars. The bureau chief didn’t care much for that decision. He overruled the judge and imposed a fine of 109 million dollars instead! Instances in which an agency head overrules a judge offends the separation-of-powers and threatens individual liberty.” "Fa pointed out that agencies, and agency chiefs, “have plenty of control over administrative law judges at the state level too.”
