NatCon is the Thiel-backed conference that has helped propel both Christian Nationalism & JD Vance’s political ascension. Its Statement of Principles—signed by (among others) Peter Thiel—was co-authored by John O’Sullivan, founder of the Danube Institute in Hungary. 1/

What happens when the next way is against “progressives” and “wokists” that threaten the United States from within? Or when god-emperor Trump decides he must have Greenland to curry favor with Silicon Valley tech barons like Thiel who need rare earth minerals for their plans?

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

I think the big picture here is unprecedented in American history. It’s the climax of corruption: using the US military to set up conditions from which the president and his minions can benefit personally. (In hindsight this should be transparent to all).

If we all work together, we can make sure the World Cup is an absolutely embarrassing failure for the rich people who care about it.

I wasn’t prepared for psychological warfare being fought via animated Ai Lego rap diss tracks, but here we are.

I can’t believe Trump hasn’t hired Big Balls to make retaliatory Kid Rock versions yet.

The more these evangelicals try to become the government the more people they will drive away. They are only accelerating the demise of their institutions by merging them with the state. The evangelicals of the founding era understood this dynamic, which is why they wanted church/state separation.

Dear Christian,

If you’re demanding that the Ten Commandments be put up in public schools, but you’re not holding this president or his administration accountable to a single one of them, please don’t act like you actually take them seriously.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Don't forget Robert George's key role as co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage, which gave us both John Eastman and Brian Brown, now also head of the WCF that is one of Russia's main vectors for influencing the religious right.

George has ties to Peter Thiel, too, since at least 2009

“political leadership roles should mostly be occupied by men.”

I look forward to the day when Meg Basham believes this enough to remove herself from roles of public influence and leadership. Like when she “spoke” to the CBN pre-rally meeting two years ago.

This guy will be an SBC Pastor in five years, writing Substack articles on why the Left’s real father is Lucifer.

Leaving X was worth it just to not see her posts anymore.

I think best case scenario is a reactor in the US melts down and they never need to do a thing.

I hope somebody asking questions about how the F “Taylor parlayed [his] auto repair company… to Valar Atomics.”

Think about that claim— he (maybe) knew how to code, somehow that led to an auto repair company (?), and then a bunch of Russian investors said “here is $$$$ to build nuclear reactors!”

😳 Isaiah Taylor of Valar Atomics—which somehow scored a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor by July 4—claimed that “a person cld hold the spent nuclear fuel from [Valar’s] reactor in their hand & get the same amount of radiation as one would expect from a hospital CT scan.”

About that… 1/

So even as we condemn political violence, we need to be clear of the legacy of Turning Point USA. Those who are whitewashing its work as a “free speech and debate” organization are willfully obscuring the truth. 8/

Self-described Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson is part of an ascendent group of Christian religious leaders finding influence among MAGA conservatives. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is Wilson’s most prominent and public follower in the Trump admin.

Anyone else getting these weird messages from Twitter about strongarming people into subscribing? I didn’t get an email or any other alert about it.

This is part of the long term endgame for the political marriage of Republican politicians and “Conservative” Evangelicals, going all the way back to the old school Moral Majority.
