Creation Fest, a registered charity, has said it will not invite the group back, but questions remain
Some hyper-sensitive Americans love to cry buckets of liberal tears over every minor provocation, like the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad or how the policy of separating immigrant asylum seekers from their children has been revived.
Why are they so scandalized by a woman being sexy and by scandals?
It’s so predictable and pathetic how there’s some big uproar every time a cute young lady winks at the camera or a creepy old man who is president sloppily covers up his involvement with a pedophile sex offender.
If I had a dime every time people freaked out over something tiny like a blonde making a blonde joke or a president influencing a witness to change the details of their testimony in exchange for a more favorable prison sentence, I’d have at least half the cost of a seat at one of said president’s influence-peddling crypto-dinners.
Why do they act like it’s such a big deal to flaunt a preference for blue eyes or fire a respected career statistician for reporting real but negative employment numbers, thereby redefining all facts unfavorable to the president as “rigged” and rendering all future state-reported information meaningless?

This oral manuscript was transcribed and released to the general public as Norse Mythology for Bostonians in early 2020 and translated into English and released as The Impudent Edda in late 2023.

On 17 July 2025, three people were killed by an Israeli air strike on the Holy Family Church in Gaza City. Many others were injured, including Father Gabriel Romanelli, the parish priest.

Few thinkers have had as profound an impact on the world as Karl Marx. Despite the century and a half since his death, his ideas remain highly relevant. A topic that often surfaces when discussing Marx’s seminal economic work — Capital — is the so-called ‘transformation problem.’ An online debate has recently emerged regarding how […]
The ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Serbs by a US-backed Croatian leader was premeditated, according to newly-uncovered files revealing the operation’s planning. After the bloodshed subsided, Richard Holbrooke, a top US diplomat, assured him: “We said publicly… that we were concerned, but privately, you knew what we wanted.” August 4, 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Operation Storm. Little known outside the former Yugoslavia, the military campaign unleashed a genocidal cataclysm that violently expelled Croatia’s entire Serb population. […]

Several months ago, in the lead-up to the most recent Most Important Election of Our Lifetime, I wondered out loud whether we should choose the uncertain wish for hope and joy or the very real promise of bleak despair. These were the options that were being presented to us, and the choice seemed pretty clear. I know I don’t need to tell you which alternative won out, but I will anyway. It wasn’t hope and joy.
So here we are today, living in a landscape carved from bleak despair, bleaker than most people anticipated. And we’re navigating through a darkness that descended on us with a startling speed, outperforming nearly everyone’s—even the most cynical—predictions. Leading some people to cry, “We did not think things would be like this!” Or “How is this happening?” While others declare, “I didn’t vote for this!”
