“Faith that never leaves the sanctuary cannot long protect the city.” – The Last Stand In the most recent example of modern filicide, suburban mom Lindsay Clancy, in January 2023, systematically strangled her three young children in the basement of her family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Despite claims that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, her calculated errand list for her husband that horrible day may be her undoing. While the original sin of disobedien

“The very term “systemic racism” was coined to overcome the fact that it is hard to find actual individuals in positions of even moderate power who discriminate on the basis of race. The reality is the opposite. It is hard to find an institution today that does not go out of its way to prefer minority groups if at all possible.” – When Race Trumps Merit In 2026, Trump’s Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel declared the EEOC's disparate impact interpretation unco

“Timothy and the Gimme Getter rulers held a meeting. They voted to make the workers pay them more money.

“The hive’s apparent disorder is paired with material abundance, military strength, and occupational variety, suggesting that a complex commercial community is sustained by mixed motives rather than pure virtue.” – The Fable of the Bees Early theological philosophers named the seven deadly sins as: pride, envy, greed, lust, anger, sloth, and gluttony. These vices were roundly condemned as moral failings, due to their excesses and deficiencies, as well as their lack of grou

“Apparently great wealth does not come from land and natural resources, but from trade, finance and innovation, and that did not require centralized government and territorial conquests, but private property, free trade and toleration.” – Peak Human In his second inaugural address in January 2025, President Trump first used the phrase Golden Age, promising the country a resurgence in peace, prosperity, and optimism, as his slogan, “Make America Great Again,” first promoted.

“If we have all of these checks and balances, how did we get the government we have today? It's just like the government that the Anti-Federalists feared! The Federalists promised it wouldn't be that way!” – A Tuttle Twins Series of Stories, America’s History, 1776-1791 At the time of the American Revolution, debt was less than 40 percent of GDP, with the overwhelming majority tied to wartime expenses. By 1835, debt was eliminated. Today, debt sits at 120 percent of GDP,

“When God and tradition and ancient norms are said to no longer exist, anything and everything is permissible.” – The Devil and Karl Marx. When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden and encouraged her to eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, life on Earth changed forever. Convinced that her eyes would be opened to hidden knowledge and that she would become as God, led instead to the fall of mankind. Rather than human eyes being opened to God,

“We need to learn about – and learn how to defend - good ideas. We need to make these ideas popular.

“Suppose in our persistent groping toward a better system than communism, we had done nothing better at last but stumble into and rediscover the very same old capitalism that we had been reviling for two centuries as the depth of human iniquity and misery”. – Time Will Run Back The 1919 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia not only sparked a Communist revolt in Europe but also gave rise to the Communist Party in the United States. Looking to reorganize America under a Soviet Am

“The book is a portable collection of written ideas, designed to elevate the human mind beyond its natural limits of experience, memory, distance, and; it; it's a vessel for numbers, narratives, laws, and lyrics; It facilitates history, politics, philosophy, religion, science, and self-discovery; it enshrines traditions while providing direction as they shift and grow; It informs the ignorant, reminds the learned, travels far, and cheats death.” – The Idea Machine Books wer

“Many people believe things that simply aren't true. They believe what they are told by the media, or what the government said, or what they read in an official report. But these people often lie.” – The Tuttle Twins Guide to True Conspiracies Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell disappeared for weeks following hospitalization without any public announcement of his condition. On July 12, photo evidence, including a Sunday edition of the Washington Post, served as proof of life

“Hats off to the King!” – The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins Since medieval times, hats have separated mankind by caste. While nobility wore extravagant headdresses of feathers and gems, knights wore helmets, and peasants generally wore simple flat caps. Each was a sign of the social hierarchy of the day.

“They talked about nuclear families the same way they talked about the nuclear bomb. It was a destructive, sexist, militaristic, heteronormative force designed to ruin the world. Literally, they would say, for emphasis at the end of every statement they made that could not possibly work in any literal sense. Instead, they argued bravely that old-school femininity was a scourge. Any woman who chose to stay in the home instead of working in the world was complicit. Any woman wh
