Sorry, but if at any point in your narrative, someone like Tate is heroic, you’re evil, stupid, or profoundly deceived.
And if your definition of masculinity doesn’t include the wisdom to discern his pandering from godly masculinity, then see above.

The parts about his then-girlfriend, now wife helping ground him and settle him down when they were dating were incredibly touching parts of the book.
The hits keep coming.
I wouldn't think about subjecting Drake Maye to this, if I were the Patriots. In fact, this would make me think about going and getting a veteran backup, just to cover myself in case Brissett gets hurt.
If only a pastor with a platform had said something. I mean, Russ Moore did, and he was hounded out of the SBC because he hurt people’s feelings. Y’all did that.
As someone who has long been an advocate for the unborn, it grieves me to think that whatever the outcome, 2024 is nothing less than a catastrophe for the political side of the pro-life cause.
If Harris wins, her radically pro-abortion platform will be seen as reflective of the
Many folks (including me) are struggling with the idea that the non-white vote could be shifting as fast as polls are showing. It seems more parsimonious to believe that there's something wrong with the polls. Which there may well be.
But another explanation is also possible...

I defended the book once upon a time, and as a stand alone effort, I suppose it holds up - but Vance has become the very thing he warned against.
When your entire neighborhood is suddenly filled with people who don't speak your language, have nothing in common with you, and have no interest in assimilating at all into your preexisting community, the slip of paper saying they're "legal" doesn't make much difference to you
Womack knew he was dealing with a guy who earned the right to be mad, and if he’s honest, he owes those guys an apology for calling the worst defensive game in the last two decades of Bama history.
@Beale_St_Bets
Why is Kane Womack taking that. You gotta call timeout and go drag him off the field at that point. Totally unacceptable from 13 and from Womack.
@drantbradley
Ironically, that's a point made in the past by David French - that many of his critics simply didn't understand the impact of SCOTUS rulings and were often out of their depth discussing it. That may explain some of the ire directed at him.

There's a local guy who does all kinds of urban exploration, abandoned coal mines, etc. It makes for a cool IG feed but I'm just waiting for a bad update one day.
What about for the family of, say, five who has outdoor hobbies like hunting, fishing, camping, even golf, that would mean a car or even van couldn’t always support?
I also think the SUV hate and the memes making fun of driving a big vehicle are likely to read to an average person as suggesting indifference to the life of motorists and their families. (That's not at all what is meant, I know.)

See, if you think TK or Moore or French is a little soft on some point of doctrine, you can work on that. But once you became an outright jerk like all the bearded Tate bros, it takes a lot of scrubbing to get that dirt off.
FEMA is out of money for hurricane season because it spent more than $1 billion on housing and services for migrants. It’s a national disgrace.
The Biden-Harris admin has done a horrible job taking care of American citizens.

Don't underestimate the anger Americans are feeling watching tax-paying citizens get abandoned while politicians spends billions upon billions of dollars on illegal immigrants and foreign wars.

Many of our fellow countrymen will put hamburgers and hot dogs on a grill tomorrow. The grill have charcoal in it and the food will taste good. This is called grilling, not barbecuing.
I am old enough to remember when using taxpayer resources to obtain purely partisan domestic political benefits from Zelenskyy was considered an impeachable offense.

What Andy is saying here is that he’s fine with lots of students - many of them women - losing out in scholarship opportunities. He knows that money isn’t sitting in a vault somewhere.
It’s not football players’ responsibility to subsidize the other sports.
If the schools would like to continue funding them, they will. If they don’t want to, it’s because they don’t care enough to fund them.
Don’t believe anything to the contrary.

On today's video pod, I analyze N.H. Gov. Chris Sununu's PATHETIC interview with George Stephanopoulos. I also talk about the Clay Travis jury nullification tweet, and more!
This is a wonderful example of missing the point.
The point is that Americans should be allowed to have a country. Christianity nowhere insists that we must allow our nation to be flooded by foreigners who do not share our heritage or our history.
Mitigated immigration is
Disappointed but unsurprised that the Hillsdale crowd has been basically silent on her long-running hit job. Former friends of Keller and Moore have sold them out, as well.
It’s within reason to think that a sudden spike of immigration has impacted schools, emergency services, etc. But every post of “concern” has included aggressive, often racist language and tropes. That’s the tell. Every time.
Yes, and an honest adult should be able to say them. There’s no defending what Cotton is doing here. None. He has served his country with honor but this obfuscation is doing profound damage to the republic.
Cotton has never denied the results of the 2020 election. So this is just an attempt to get him to say the exact phrase Kristen Welker wants him to and make hay of it if he doesn't use the magic words.

He understands the grave threat that the intelligence community and administrative state pose to American democracy - perhaps the single most important political issue today.

I was - and remain - so proud to have contributed to the Bulwark. Hope to do it again. Sometimes I think the takes go a little too far over there. And I'd love to contribute to the Dispatch. But on the topic du jour, I think the Bulwark has the better argument.
She writes ambiguously to create plausible deniability.
E.g., she mentions wolves, mercenaries, fools, and, of course, shepherds for sale. But rarely is she clear enough to clearly call specific people those names.
It's cowardly while attempting to appear bold.
Birch and Rand lived on in other formats and as much as Weyrich’s direct mail helped the GOP, Heritage, etc, it was also used by crazier voices on the right wing that came to full flower in the Tea Party and Trump. 4/4.
@Joshua_A_Tait
I’m not trolling when I ask the LG about this. I mean it. Either these people are here and are part of our communities and our economies, or you risk treating them as some other thing to be delegitimized and treated as less than human. Not a lot of space in between.

This is one of those things where the, ahem, weirdness of some people is going to cause us to throw good ideas out with bad. There is ample evidence in favor of (wisely) marrying young and having lots of kids. Just because some mouth breathers advocate those things shouldn't...
Having failed with the 1980s pathway of populating evangelical churches by marrying young and having lots of kids and homeschooling them,
Christian leaders in the 2020s are suggesting a new approach of marrying young and having lots of kids and homeschooling them
This is going to be a sort of reverse of the neocon move to the GOP - lot of Reaganites and their second generation will move to the Democrats, with a sort of DLC style rump remaining within the GOP.

My wife bought me a couple of records for my birthday last weekend. One of them was Townes Van Zandt's magnificent "Live from the Old Quarter." I've had the cds for twenty years, but on vinyl, it's incredible.
I think it was Doug Wilson of all people who used that analogy in regard to certain sins and I always thought it was a good one but now it applies to him and his coterie of deadlift goobers.
Here’s the thing: the neurodivergent tend strongly toward innocence and guilelessness. What they feel is at the surface not hidden. We all, at times, feel in the way Gus was feeling but we’ve learned to hide behind a social facade that, let’s face it, is heavily laden with
