It’s publication day for “Believe,” so let’s answer an obvious question: Why write a book making a case for religious belief as a general matter, rather than just the specific religion that I practice and believe? /long thread

Worth noting that in the 50 yrs since Roe, men have become less likely to find a spouse, less likely father kids or live with the kids they father, and less likely to participate in the workforce.

There are millions of men whose lives would have been much worse without abortion. Men who wouldn't have found their big loves, wouldn't have their kids, wouldn't have been as successful, wouldn't have taken big risks. Many of them don't think about it. Some don't even know it.

Everyone understands that the House is crazier than the Senate, and he isn't seen as a traitor to the Ivy League, but still there should be more condemnation for Kevin McCarthy as opposed to just for Hawley and Cruz.

When you can't just "trust the science" because the scientists keep lying to you and then saying, "oh, that was just a noble lie, sorry about that." nytimes.com/2020/12/24/hea…

I would rate that the most successful Republican debate performance of this century, eclipsing Romney in the first debate with Obama in 2012.

The thing about trading your principles for power is that once you do it the Devil always come back offering variations on the same deal.
