Greetings fellow Vigilant Citizens,
I couldn’t find anything funny in the news today, so I had to dig up Miss South Carolina’s beauty pageant response.
While we’re still reporting good news, my kind friend sent me this video about the positive effects of acts of kindness.
Even though I couldn’t find anything funny in the news today, Eric Moutsos came through again with a few good memes to cheer up the internet:
Is anyone surprised by the anticlimactic non-release of the Epstein files? (see also here)
Victor Davis Hanson argues that Trump’s first month has been “a shock treatment to decades of spending, open borders, and bureaucratic bloat—restoring what was lost while critics decry the cure more than the disease.” Agreed, but why do conservatives continue to suppress, or fail to address, the truth about widespread vax harm and death? And please hold my Coke while I wonder what on earth was that Trump-Gaza AI video? It seems like a media stunt to me, but whatever it is, it’s terrible.
My aunt sent me the highlights from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s recent speech at CPAC. Meloni and I are almost exactly the same age. Her English is great, and her Italian is even better (see also here). She says the right things. She even loves Tolkien and Roger Scruton, which are signs of good taste. One major red flag, however, is that in 2021 she joined the Aspen Institute, an institute largely funded by Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates, etc. (RFK revealed that Gates made $242 million in Pfizer stock.)
Titus Techera at PostModernConservative recommends to young American men a path to solving their problems: Read Churchill’s autobiography. I add my own endorsement to his. It was a delight to study the life and works of Winston Churchill with President Larry Arnn at Hillsdale College. I would also recommend a careful study of the life of Chief Captain Moroni in the Book of Mormon (see also here). After that, I recommend a careful study of my own autobiography.
In local news today, all is not well in Zion. Wokeness, compromise rhetoric, and other sophistries are still rampant at BYU. Even more disturbingly, Go El at Investigations in Ritual Abuse has been busy exposing the alleged crimes of David Lee Hamblin, Craig Christensen, and others, and Jason and Alexia Preston at We Are the People Utah are demanding justice in an upcoming “Vigil for the Voiceless.” Similarly, Ben McClintock at the Tree of Liberty Society champions independence while uncovering the darkness and evil of ritual abuse in Utah.
These are just a few more reasons why I look forward to, and am trying to prepare my heart and mind for, a place in the New Jerusalem.
