We look forward to sharing more exclusive articles with you and conversations on American diplomacy and foreign policy.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

AI can’t create a soul. But it can counterfeit faith well enough to fool the undiscerning. This post explores how digital tools, if left unchecked, may deform our spiritual habits, displace conviction with convenience, and offer the golden calf of mimicry instead of the living voice of Christ.

Why did Donald Trump pardon a Democratic crook like P.G. Sittenfeld?

The working theory of the Cincinnati political class is that Sittenfeld's wealthy benefactors, who were already bankrolling his legal defense, paid for the pardon with cryptocurrency.

Collide is an excellent 2nd name as it expresses that you (and we) are on a collision course with life. We get knocked down and somehow get back up and move on...to the next collision and the next. It's a very hopeful and generous thing for you to have said what you have. I can surely relate!

Thanks, Clarke. I must admit Collide isn't my "real" name. But it was chosen with care. Wrote about it not that long ago, if you're curious: collidepress.substack.c…

As for this roller derby of life, it keeps rolling right round, baby, right round, like a record baby. Sometimes the record is full of scratches. Just like us. :-p
