“This book is the product of massive and original scholarship....the book requires an almost total rethinking of how we look on Mary today, this in the light of how medieval Christians understood her.”—Fr. James Schall

Consider: The UChicago students who gathered with me in prayer this morning and carried the American flag across campus this afternon are the same students who, unmasked, stood up for years against the masking, lockdowns, and vaccination mandates at our university.

In case you were wondering: it's a lie. "White nationalism" is just a term used to frighten Americans who voted for Trump into thinking their concerns about our country are nefarious. That is exactly what the Other Side wants you to think.

Abortion is murder. This is even worse: abortion justified in order to harvest organs "in vivo." Let that sink in. The babies are alive when they are born.
The more history you study the more clear it becomes that there has only ever been one perfect man. Perhaps this is why he sits at the center of history.
"Tucker Carlson has given voice to this most basic—most common-sense—position. And in return, he has a bullseye on his back. But that’s just a testament to the fact that he remains the indispensable voice of those who still believe in our common...
There is no such thing as "white culture." The phrase is an oxymoron. "Culture" requires cultivation and worship, and "white," aka "WASP" is the antithesis of culture. This is why your children are all being seduced by the rainbow. You abandoned your cult for the vending machine.
Want to know why they killed the humanities, particularly the study of grammar, rhetoric, and logic?
Because grammar teaches DEFINITION; rhetoric teaches PERSUASION; and logic teaches ARGUMENT.
Tl;dr: They are tools for lie detecting. And TBTB don't want you to notice.
Buried lede: It was monastic asceticism, not "whiteness," that gave rise to the West.
Weber pretends it was Protestantism, but it was Benedictine monks who gave institutional structure to labor and prayer.

Milo Yiannopoulos is the most honorable and courageous person I know. He has stood up for me against the calumny directed at me by my academic colleagues for daring to speak in defense of Western civilization.

I miss my father.
Dad was a heart surgeon, car mechanic, pilot, gunsmith, Vietnam veteran, pipe smoker and mathematician.
He is also the one who taught me to watch for the snake oil that doctors and Big Pharma want you to take under the guise of "medicine."

Grief is real.
We are living through a massive transformation.
Before the French Revolution, "revolution" meant a turning of the Wheel of Fortune.
The Wheel has turned. The world has changed; we do not know yet what it will become.
It is time to pray, grieve, and hope.
It is said that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
Studying history teaches that most people don’t study history.
Empires gonna empire. The “bad guys” are always the previous empire, and the “good guys” stay “good” only as long as the propaganda holds.

Of course they don't want us to learn about real Nazis. How would they keep being able to call all of us Nazis if we knew what the real ones were like?
“All religions” do NOT “teach the same thing.”
Only Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
If some religions teach Truth, it is only because all Truth is Christ.
The Accuser cannot create, only mimic, which means even when he lies, he must mimic Christ.

We could have been the Hillsdale of the Midway. Instead, we have a puppet in a jockstrap. What happened to our motto? “Crescat scientia, vita excolatur”—let knowledge grow? How, when we muzzled ourselves and hid?

If Christians are upset that people don't get Christianity, that's on us.
The whole point of Christianity is to tell people about Christ and his love.
Now that we have celebrated his resurrection in this year of Our Lord 2024, let's spread the good news!

I made the list!
"Examples of academics who have been 'mobbed' in recent years include Jordan Peterson, Nigel Biggar, Rebecca Tuvel, Bruce Gilley, Rachel Fulton Brown, Alessandro Strumia, Amy Wax, Ricardo Duchesne and Peter Boghossian."
In the Middle Ages, this would be described as a miracle.

The whole point of academic freedom is to debate, not coerce agreement. The students want their school to be a school, not a military encampment.

Christianity will not perish because Christians are persecuted. Christianity is a message of hope and light, the good news that we are redeemed from our slavery to sin through the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christianity only perishes when people are left in ignorance.
Don't kid yourselves. There is nothing in Islam that calls for "respecting other cultures." "Respect for other cultures" is a Christian ideal.

No feminist anywhere would be arguing about the importance of consent if medieval monks had not insisted that God asked Mary for her consent. The level of theological and historical ignorance in your argument is staggering.

I am bemused by the warnings that well-meaning friends are giving me about criticizing Professor Peterson. I have already been called "racist," "fascist," and "white supremacist" by colleagues in academia. What do they imagine is worse? "Uppity woman"?
I know some people are having a hard time grasping this, so I'll try to say it clearly.
Democracy doesn't die because more people voted for something you don't like.
It dies when the rich meet in back rooms to make decisions for everyone else.
That is the darkness it dies in.
What does "academic freedom" mean if, in order to participate in academic discussion, you are required to "agree" to statements which you do not believe to be true?
Colleagues are surprised that I, whom they know as a scholar, can support Milo Yiannopoulos, whom they know only from the mainstream media accounts of him. Perhaps it is because as a scholar I am used to defending my faith—which they also know only from secondhand accounts.
Mr. President, where is Milo’s invitation? You do remember the Dangerous Faggot Tour, don’t you? The one that helped get you elected by bringing MAGA to college campuses around the country?
