August 20, 2025 was the birthday of one of the greatest American statesmen to ever live. He has been described as a modern American Founding Fathers without any of their problems because he is right about everything they were right about and knows more than they did about liberty without being saddled with any of the flaws that make them terrible. He has transformed the lives of millions in the US and beyond. And I got to go to the giant birthday party celebrating his 90th birthday. This is the story of that party.

LDS Movie Reviews: Superman (2025)
The new Superman movie premieres this weekend. Despite its flaws, it is a fantastic movie with a fantastic moral compass and message. In this article I review what the movie has to say about hope, despair, and the Three Great Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity (the pure love of Christ.)
A Leftist Tells The Truth About Socialism
The propaganda spread about Socialism is vast and deep. From our political institutions to our political institutions to our media platforms, praise and adulation for Socialism is everywhere. The constant indoctrination is hard for most people to break. But, every now and then, the matrix breaks, and someone says the truth. Someone who shouldn’t. Someone whose credentials with the intelligentsia are otherwise impeccable. But the impossible happens. These people tell the truth and, when they do, it is paradigm breaking as they see what was once obfuscated by propaganda and lies. They tell the truth and reveal the lies that deceive the masses.
This article is about just such an occasion.
Can You Be Good Without God?
It is a very common claim from agnostics and atheists that not only do you not need God to be a good person, but that if you do need God to be good then you are terrible. This article shows that both of these claims are backwards, irrational nonsense. In fact, not only do you absolutely need God to be good, but you can’t even understand good without God.
The Gospel According to Satan
This article explains that Satan’s goal is to be worshipped as God, opposing Jesus Christ and His teachings by spreading false doctrines and corrupting political and religious systems. I explore Satan’s tactics using scriptural references to reveal what the religion of Satan looks like and emphasize how to fight against Satan through understanding and living by the Word of God. I also expose the manipulation and lies spread by Antichrists, both ancient and modern.
Lorenzo Snow’s Prophetic Explanation of How to Achieve World Peace
The 20th century was one of the deadliest in all human history. From the fields of Flanders to the gas chambers of Auschwitz to the gulags of Stalin to the mass starvation of Mao to the killing fields of Cambodia and more, hundreds of millions of men, women, and children have been raped, tortured, mutilated and slaughtered. And it could all have been avoided if the people of the world had listened to a prophet’s voice as he laid out the path to prosperity, liberty, and peace at the very start of the century.
This article looks at President Lorenzo Snow’s inspired counsel about how the 20th century could’ve been the greatest age of all time and explains how his words have never been more important and applicable than now.
The Disgusting Absurdity of Democracy
We are constantly told that “democracy is under threat” by whatever politician or program happens to be controversial at the time. But the truth of the matter isn’t that democracy is under threat.
The truth is that democracy *is* the threat.
Democracy is one of the most dangerous political systems ever devised and it makes possible the worst and grossest crimes imaginable. Worse, democracy gets you to fund, support, and love these crimes, to call the vilest evils good. And this article uses American support for the Israelis in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to prove it.
The Power of Nonviolence!
There is no question.
There is no argument.
There is no debate.
Nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience are the most powerful, most effective, and most successful tools for everything from changing bad laws to overthrowing tyrannical despots.
The superiority of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience to violence of any and every form is an indisputable fact.
And here is the proof.
An Ancient Revelation on the Nature of Government
One of the great values of reading ancient history is that there is very little that is new under the Sun. Tribalism, nationalism, imperialism, and statism are not new phenomena in human history. Both their dangers and the solution to those dangers were well-known to the people of the past.
When we study their teachings we can recognize the way that the same old propaganda and same old lies have been repackaged by the political elites for our day, to indoctrinate and deceive us into believing in an ideology that serves them while harming us. We can also learn from the ancients how to prevent this cycle from repeating so that we can build a better and freer world.
Here is just such an example.
A New Year’s Pledge of Peace
With the New Year upon us, let us further dedicate ourselves to following the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, building the Kingdom of God, establishing Zion, and being disciples in word and deed. Let us dedicate ourselves to becoming peacemakers in every sense of the term.
