Paperback version of LIVE NOT BY LIES out on October 11. It's in 11 languages now, with over 200,000 copies sold -- and now, I hope it will reach even more readers (especially church and student groups). Free downloadable study guide here:
Day 6 of Covid. Now my wife and kids have it too. All of us vaxxed; wife and I both boosted not long ago. Everybody we know who has omicron was vaxxed; most also boosted. So I gotta ask: what's the point of vaccine passports now? Security theater? Prepping social credit system?
A physician friend driving home tonight from a long, grueling day at nearly-overwhelmed hospital treating COVID19 patients, knowing it's going to get much worse for us all, saw lines of young people waiting to get in the bars in his city, writes, "I cannot believe the stupidity."
Drones over Parliament made a cross to end national celebrations. Hungary is a Christian country and is proud of it. May God bless and keep this amazing land and her people.
True story: My 11 year old daughter made a snow girl, using dead leaves for tears.
Me: "Why is she crying?"
Kid: "Because she knows she's going to die."
I'm not reading any more Russian Christmas stories to my children.
You watch: all of this insane anti-Russian hatred — cancelling the Dostoevsky course, kicking Russian movies out of film festival, etc — is going to be mobilized & used against internal dissidents in the future. Hate the war, loathe Putin, but don’t hate Russian ppl or culture!
The image on the left is Budapest last night, on the Feast of St. Stephen. The image on the right is NYC 1956, on Easter. My friend James Card observes:
"What was unthinkable in Hungary in 1956 is happening in 2023, and what happened in New York in 1956 is unthinkable in 2023."…
In the differences between Prince Philip and his Californicated grandson Harry, one can see the changes of a century — and a refutation of the myth of Progress.
Thanks to two GOP appointees -- Roberts and Gorsuch -- churches and schools that discriminate against LGBTs stand at risk of losing tax-exempt status, per the Bob Jones ruling. Hard to overstate the magnitude of this loss for religious conservatives.
One of my kids is a stutterer. No matter how much courage you think Brayden Harrington's talk just now took, believe me, it's way more. God bless that kid, and God bless Joe Biden for giving him hope, and a chance to speak. [Retweeted this to fix typo]
Still can’t get over how the Hungarians ended their annual national holiday celebrating the Feast of St Stephen, Hungary’s first Christian monarch, with drones making cross above Parliament. You’d never see that over US Capitol on July 4. I know why, but still. Go Hungary!

's terrific doc "What Is A Woman," and holy cow, he allows all these doctors, professors, and experts to make UTTER FOOLS of themselves. We are ruled by idiots who have no legitimate authority. It is past time for hard and unmerciful pushback.
Maximo Alvarez, the Cuban refugee from Miami, is a fantastic spokesman for Trump. He's absolutely terrific. I'm near tears. "I may be Cuban-born, but I'm 100 percent American! This is the greatest country in the world."
I hear almost daily from people who tell me about some woke horror going on in their institutions, or circles, and who end by saying for God's sake don't ID me, or I could lose my job. It is NOT NORMAL to have to live like this! We have overnight created a sick, demented society.
This is a lie. Friend’s son came back from Europe this morning. All they asked is if he had been in Italy. The president is spreading false information trying to calm Americans with soothing lies.
Trump claims (falsely) all Americans returning to country are being tested:"We have heavily tested. If an American coming back or anybody coming back, we have a tremendous testing set up where people coming in have to be tested ... if it shows positive ... We have to quarantine."
Northwestern U. law school had a town hall meeting online recently. Everybody began w/ a ritual denunciation of themselves as racist. Reader: "Prof. Speta is not a racist. He is a wonderful man universally loved by students. It makes me sad that he is forced to say otherwise."

In a car driving through Romania with Romanian friends. Played this for them. Said one, “This is exactly like the self-criticism sessions from the Communist era. We grew up with it. ‘Comrades, I promise to be more faithful to the Revolution.’”
NEW: Disney CEO Bob Chapek grovels, apologizes, and pledges to "be a better ally for the LGBTQ+ community." He delegated the company's moral authority to the "LGBTQIA+ Advisory Council" and now those internal activists have taken him as an ideological hostage.
My God. It's all here. Francis knew about McCarrick. The former Vatican ambassador to the US spills all about the lavender mafia in the Vatican, and in the US hierarchy. It's a total massacre. How can Francis survive this?
Friend grieving tonight because he can't convince his aging, unhealthy MAGA parents that the virus threat is real. They're about to get on a plane and head off to vacation. "I said my peace to them," he said. "What else could I do?"
Why does it fall to
@MattWalshBlog
and others to do the kind of professional journalism that the mainstream media refuse to do? Answer: because professional journalists act like stenographers to the Regime, seeing their jobs as affirming the Narrative.
On the NYT Opinion front page now. Seven Kavanaugh-related columns, all negative on him. Look, I know it's a left paper, but don't editors feel a professional responsibility to show readers what half the country is thinking?
Some are asking, "Which hospital?" I'll ask doc friend if I can say. Doc told me this wk that he believes most of their patients w/acute respiratory issues have COVID19, but they can't officially declare that, bec they can't test. Official numbers are vastly undercounting.
After what happened to
@MrAndyNgo
today, and the violence he's been documenting, it seems that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the KKK ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Shame on you, Mayor
@tedwheeler
. Restore law and order to your city.
I do not understand why the loutish drunken behavior of a 17 year old high school boy has anything to tell us about the character of a 53 year old judge. By God’s grace (literally), I am not the same person I was at 17. This is a terrible standard to establish in public life.
Man told me today his Czech tenant tells him it feels like Czechoslovakia 1946 now (two years before the communist putsch). Another man told me just now his Romania-born in-laws are terrified, for the same reason. People who grew up under communism know something bad is coming.
What's awesome is how progressives are defending Harvard Law graduate Sarah Jeong's racism because she's "punching up."
A graduate of Harvard Law School. Punching up. My God, the left today is a demented, privileged joke.
Alabama said a condemned Muslim man could not have an imam accompany him to his death. He was offered a Christian chaplain. The Supreme Court would not stay his execution for an appeal.
He was executed last night. His imam had to wait in the other room.
The Boulder shooting suspect is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. We have no idea of motive yet. But I expect the same media who told us all last week to be very afraid of white Southern Baptist males is going to instruct us to ignore this guy's religion, and to blame it on white supremacy.
I don’t at all mind ppl supporting Palestinians. It’s the open support for Hamas after what it did to over 1,000 defenseless Jews that I cannot fathom or tolerate. It’s straight-up Nazi behavior. If Christians had done something like this, I would be screaming my head off in…
She’s right. If you don’t pay interns, the only ones who can get the experience are those from families wealthy enough to support them, thus perpetuating unjust inequality.
Shame, shame on you,
@ChickfilA
. You are the 3rd most successful fast food franchise in the US. You had no reason to capitulate. But you did. Yes, shame on the progressive bullies too -- yet the greater shame is yours, Chick-fil-A, you cowards.
Interesting to consider that Pope Francis thinks it's fine for the Chinese communist government to pick Catholic bishops, but won't let the US Catholic bishops set sex-abuse accountability standards for themselves.
In Greece, a retired soccer star has been sentenced to 10 months in prison because of a social media post in which he called transgenderism an "abomination." Ten months!
Of course
#IStandWithTuckerCarlson
. He is fearless. One of his less appreciated virtues is this: nowhere else on television will you hear a ferocious critique of corporate excess *from the Right*.
That was nice. I didn't vote for the guy, and I'm sure I will find a thousand things for which to oppose him. But I am grateful for a president who speaks like, and comes across as, a normal human being. It's been a while.
A Catholic friend today is to undergo an exorcism at 3:30 Eastern. She has been through all the psychiatric diagnostics the Church requires. This is real. This is a horrifying situation, like something out of the movies. Her husband asked me to beg your prayers.
Just spoke to Cardinal Müller, who was visibly shocked by the police standing a few feet away, blocking entrance to NatCon. “This is like Nazi Germany,” he said. “They are like the SA.” (He gave me permission to quote him.)
I'm not mad about the "Easter worshippers" controversy, but it is bizarre that these prominent Democrats came up with a weird locution when the word "Christian" is the obvious choice. Why? It's like someone in the Messaging Dept told them "don't say 'Christian'."
Thinking hard about "What Is A Woman" by

, and how it is that courageous and creative conservatives like Matt Walsh and Christopher Rufo achieve so much more for the cause than the extremely well-funded institutions and leaders of Conservatism, Inc.
Found out that Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House apparently had a stroke. Chapo is obsessed with me, and hates me ... but still, I pray for this dude's recovery, and for God to comfort his friends and family. I invite you to do same. Some things should be human, & non-partisan.
My elderly mother has several comorbidities that would make surviving Covid difficult. She's a devout Trump fan, but alas, has no access to the presidential suite at Walter Reed. I am going to have to call her today and beg her to ignore the president's example. Hell of a thing.
Weird how we Americans often have to read
@DailyMail
to understand what really happened when a story involves race, sex, or gender, because our media are more interested in managing the narrative than reporting the facts.
I did not attend Christian schools, but my children do. Here's a cropped photo of my 12-year-old daughter headed to school two weeks ago. They are learning great books in a classical Christian context. I, a public school kid, never got any of this.
#exposechristianschools
Two months ago, Georgia cops wanted to arrest the two white men in the Arbery shooting, but the local DA, for whom one of the suspects once worked, wouldn't allow it. A devastating blow to the law's credibility:
Am reading Orwell's "1984" for the first time. I thought I had read it in high school, but realized to my embarrassment that no, I never did. It is FAR better than I expected. Stunning, in fact, to see how relevant Orwell is to our insane cultural moment. It's not a cliche.
If Orban's government did to dissident Hungarians what Trudeau's government did to dissident Canadians, all of official Washington would be calling for a color revolution.
DAMN!
@BretWeinstein
and
@HeatherEHeying
live not by lies. They are American heroes for our time. STAND BY THEM! One big lesson I learned from the anticommunist dissidents is that unless you're willing to suffer for your convictions, they mean nothing.
YouTube just demonetized both DarkHorse channels, wiping out more than half our family income. Their message: Drop the science and stick to the narrative—or else.
No, YouTube. Review *this* video.
#CensorshipKills
, belts tighten, incomes can be replaced
Very proud of my Sen
@BillCassidy
for his guilty vote today. He will catch hell from the voters at home for this vote, but he did the courageous thing. It is a hell of a thing that there is good reason to believe that Trump refused to call the mob off, but most GOP senators 1/2
I've publicly argued with Kevin Williamson (who's a friend) over harsh things he's written, but he is one of the bravest and most talented writers I know. The Atlantic's cutting him loose under left-wing fire is deplorable. But clarifying. Definitely clarifying.

and others, soft totalitarianism is becoming hard. Covid was a trial run for technocratic tyranny.
Only one of these candidates promised to accept the results of the election if he loses, and that candidate is not the sitting President of the United States. There's our constitutional democracy, right there.
A U.S. Senator -- Democrat from Hawaii -- approves of the work and public position of a fanatical anti-white racist. This is going to be institutionalized in the Democratic Party. The Trump 2020 ads write themselves. Good luck in the Rust Belt, gang!
NEW: Reporters who survived the deadly Capitol riot are still struggling. Some won’t go back into the building. Several have sought therapy to deal with trauma. Many still aren’t sleeping well.
Prof Joshua Mitchell of Georgetown just said in a speech that the cult of social justice/identity politics is the greatest threat to the American nation since the Civil War, and only a revived Christianity can save us from tearing ourself apart.
“David French liked”? Yoel Roth was a hysterically censorious man with immense power, who also has some perverted ideas about gay sex, the Internet, and underage youth. “David French LIKED”?!?!?
The Overton Window moved last night. Beto said what I'm certain every Democratic candidate believes. This situation is why many orthodox Christians who can't stand Trump plan to vote for him anyway: because they know what the Dems have planned for them.
“We need to fight to the death, to the last drop of blood....” — Eric, on Charlie Kirk show, 12/9. Now five are dead, including a fanatic juiced on this kind of talk, shot trying to climb through smashed door near House Chamber. Now this. Total cult mentality. Repent!
Just spoke with a young Catholic who recently left seminary. Sick of being sexually propositioned, and told by his superiors that HE was the problem, with his "insecurity" and "rigidity". This is not 2002; this is 2018. 1/2
Mayor of Brussels has now issued an order to police to shut down
@NatConTalk
conference in Brussels. We are waiting for the cops now. Mayor trying to shut off electricity to hall, and catering. This is supposedly a free democratic country. EUROPE WAKE UP!
Tonight's results aren't quite a failure of polling; how can you accurately poll people who are afraid to tell the truth? It's testimony to the viciousness of leftist elites (media, corporate, etc): they force scared people to practice ketman. From my book LIVE NOT BY LIES:
An important thread. I have researched this “epidemic” of trans murders. It does not exist, except in the minds of propagandists who assume that every killing of a trans person is driven by bigotry. In fact, there is no reason to believe most are. But it satisfies the Narrative.
A brief thread on how Leftist misinformation spreads. The media has been claiming for months that there is a rise in "anti-LGBT" violence. They use this to justify banning terms like "groomer," claiming that such labels fuel attacks. But where is the evidence of this epidemic?
Trump really said on Hannity tonight that he doesn't believe we need so many ventilators. The reckoning, when it comes for him and the GOP, will be devastating.
Founder of Jacobin. He deleted this, as well he should have done. The Romanov family, including the little children, were all massacred at point-blank range by a Bolshevik firing squad.
I spent six hours today watching the Jericho March. As a conservative and as a Christian who was never part of Never Trump, it unnerved and infuriated me to see and hear Christians say these things.
At the Dallas Central Mosque funeral for the murdered girls, the imam said the lesson here is that parents need to learn to control their girls better. Shocked reporter told me this when she returned from event. Editors cut this fact out of her next-day story.
Earlier this week, Yaser Said was convicted in Dallas for the 2008 murders of his daughters, Sarah & Amina. The Muslim immigrant killed the girls because he thought they lived an un-Islamic & American lifestyle. He was a fugitive for 12 years with his family's help.
A reader of mine says: "Here we have SCOTUS confirmation, 7-2, that anti-Christian animus actually exists and motivates real world government activities. Next time somebody denies its existence (and they do all the time) there’s your comeback."
I am a believing Christian. I believe God sometimes sends prophetic visions. If that happens, you should test them. You should question them. They require deep discernment. These Christians, though, they question nothing. Claim God's mandate for whatever they like. It's wrong!
