Lexington got a great treat tonight courtesy @LewisHouseLex. Dr. Robert P George (@McCormickProf) opened with some fine Appalachian Classical music.
Kentucky’s gubernatorial race in 2023 can confirm that conservatives going wobbly on core convictions never sway the vote in their favor. @DanielCameronKY knows this well.
An interesting thing about political expediency is that it can turn out to have been ... not so expedient. It can demoralize a key segment of one's own voters in an effort to attract others. And it can signal to all voters that a candidate is unprincipled and inconstant. 3/

WORLD Magazine doesn't cover all the news that's fit to print, but it does cover the stories worth thinking about; stories that shape our lives. It also has very insightful commentary and thoughtful reviews of the things that entertain us.
Get yourself a subscription.
If you are looking for a Christian news outlet that pursues important stories grounded in biblical truth rather than TikTok clicks, might I suggest @WNGdotorg?
I've re-read this post a few times and wonder if @drmoore had any influence on Berry's theology as Berry did on Moore's writing.
Grieving tonight the death of Wendell Berry. No writer alive in my lifetime has shaped me more than Mr. Berry. Grateful for one who, in poems and essays, in novels and short stories, taught me how to stand by words.

Kentucky’s flagship newspaper is run by party activists.
Hey kids, wanna join a “No Kings” protest? The folks at the @courierjournal can help you find a local group.

Where Dr. @AlbertMohler mentions his radio hobby, submitting DX reports to shortwave radio stations _and_ receiving acknowledgements (QSL cards) from them.
Shortwave radio made me into a news junkie. A college friend in India made me a DXer.

I’ve never supported WV, but we did support a child through Compassion Intl. for years.
My biggest funding regret, however, was [thinking that I was] supporting 3 pastors through Gospel for Asia.
I used to give money to support at child through @WorldVision until I realized money was going to Hamas and Osama bin Laden affiliates.
And when a GOP senator investigated WV's finances, they stiff-armed him. This by @CVernonSmith is eye opening:

And, as @ericmetaxas pointed out in his book “Is Atheism Dead” a solar eclipse happens on the only planet where it can be observed.
As we contemplate the miracle of the full solar eclipse - an event very rare in the universe, it should be noted that the reason for this phenomenon is that the Sun is 400 times wider than the Moon and the distance between the Earth & the Sun is 400 times the diameter of the moon. So when the 3 bodies line up, a perfect eclipse is formed.
Because of the solar eclipse, humans have been able to study the sun during these rare events, and it has greatly enhanced our understanding of our place in the solar system.
Add to that the implications of the moon’s immense size & proximity to the Earth, through gravitational pull, enabling tides & oceans as we know it. Without the moon, life on Earth, if it had evolved at all, would almost certainly be quite different.
It’s almost as if this were all intended.🌞
For further reading, I suggest “Is Atheism Dead” by Eric Metaxas, who writes a brilliant chapter on the subject. @ericmetaxas

The “little man in the white boots” lost his luster during the WC. In a way I’m glad that 🇦🇷 reached the finals before losing. The biggest show exposed them for being the worst kind of losers. Good riddance.
🗣️ Marc Cucurella:
“I’d never seen this side of Lionel Messi until this World Cup. We always spoke highly of him as someone who was respectful and humble, but this tournament completely changed my opinion of him.
When he reported me to the referee because I slightly touched my mouth, I was shocked. I never expected a player like him to do that.
Throughout the World Cup, I saw him telling referees to book players who tackled him. People call him humble, but I don’t see it that way. Watching everything that happened over the last two World Cups made me question the legacy he’s built.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always been honest about who he is, confident, outspoken, and never pretending to be someone else. I’d choose Ronaldo over Messi any day because I’ve played against both and know what they’re really like.”

What a difference 25 minutes can make. A phenomenal comeback by France. It's now 4–3.
Win or lose tomorrow, Argentina's reputation has been tarnished. This is the real final I was hoping for.
England up 4-0 against France at halftime. 😂
This is what happens when a team constantly whines about having to play the 3rd place game.
The fans do not care much about this game. But the players and coaches should. Isn’t it more important than a friendly?
Embarrassing for France.

Loved watching McKennie conduct the crowd as they sang Country Roads. Not in this clip, but equally thrilling was watching coach Pochettino, an Argentine, lustily belt it out as he went around and hugged our players.

As a naturalized citizen, I work hard to understand American idiom. I've never had to go back to un-learn something I'd figured out—until yesterday.
In the course of expressing a single thought, @NinaTotenberg said she made a "rookie mistake" after 51 years on the job. What?!
