Christmas got me thinking about Jesus and the rise of Christendom. It's amazing. The story of a humble preacher -- catalyzed by his unjust execution -- suddenly spread through Europe and then around the globe.
The Logos defies science and reason.

In my view, science is a cold mirror for religion. It reflects spiritual realities in material terms. Scientism arises when that reflection is seen as ultimate truth.
Data visualization is an iconography of Scientism -- a living, materialist mythos.

When humans first left the Dark Continent -- or Eden -- around 50,000 years ago, the original clans parted ways. Some entered Europe as the glaciers melted. Others filled Oceania, Asia, and finally the Americas.
As humans adapted, the races were born.

During the approach, the pilots were unable to get a response from the control tower, and the runway lights were off.
The aircraft entered a holding pattern while ground and fire department personnel tried to reach the tower. ⬇️

Access was delayed in part due to security/locked tower access. The controller was found asleep at his post. After being awakened, the controller activated the runway lights and cleared the landing. The flight landed safely 30 minutes later. ⬇️
How Options Traders Are Playing AI — Ticker by Ticker 🧵

ILLEGAL ALIEN STRIKES, BITES AND FLEES FROM OFFICERS IN MINNESOTA:
Cuban illegal alien Juan Carlos Romero today attempted to evade ICE by ramming his car into two officers AND multiple vehicles — causing officers to defensively fire their service weapons.
After a pursuit, he attempted to flee on foot and was eventually subdued, all while resisting arrest and biting an officer during the process.
Romero entered the U.S. under Biden's CBP One app in 2024.

This dangerous attempt to evade arrest comes after sanctuary politicians, like Governor Walz and other radical leftists, demeaned ICE and held events to help illegal aliens evade arrest.
Attacks on ICE are up 1,150% and death threats up 8,000%. The two officers who sustained injuries are okay, but this could have gone sideways fast.
Politicians from both sides must condemn these actions and those who call for violence against the brave men and women of @ICEgov.

🧵The Silent Years: How 400 Years Set the Stage for Christ
Between the last words of Malachi & the opening line of Matthew lie 4 centuries of silence. No prophets. No Scripture. But everything that happens in between is essential for understanding Christmas & the New Testament👇🏼
Between the last words of Malachi & the opening line of Matthew lie 4 centuries of silence. No prophets. No Scripture. But everything that happens in between is essential for understanding Christmas & the New Testament👇🏼
🧵 What “Silence” Really Means
The silent years do not mean God stopped acting. They mean God stopped sending prophets and adding Scripture. From roughly 430 BC to the early first century AD, no new revelation is given, but history is moving rapidly under divine providence. This time is often called the inter-testamental period.
⭐️ How this helps us understand the New Testament: When prophecy resumes in the Gospels, it carries the weight of centuries of anticipation.

🧵 The World the Old Testament Leaves Behind
When the Old Testament closes, Judah is under Persian rule. The temple has been rebuilt around 516 BC, but Israel remains politically weak. They are home, yet not free. Promises of restoration feel unfinished, creating a deep sense of waiting.
⭐️ How this helps us understand the New Testament: This unresolved tension explains why deliverance is a dominant theme in the Gospels.

You'll notice Vice President Vance has said that he's against gatekeeping the conservative movement, on the one hand, and that Nick Fuentes has no place in the conservative movement (gatekeeping it), on the other hand.
This means they believe in gatekeeping when they control it.

I can tell you a few things about what these people really think about gatekeeping in the conservative movement, and it's very particularly the people connected to and supporting Vance, including his direct team in D.C., that I'm talking about.
