To understand the significance of @appledaily_hk and how China controls Hong Kong’s press, look at the front page of 13/11/2019.

But the movie may be good unless it gets too preachy....

Very cool. In "The Murder of Jesse James", an episode of the TV series Timeless (season one, episode 12). He is also mentioned in Season 3 Episode 2 of @JustifiedFX as two US Marshals are discussing their all-time favorite historical US Marshals—from @Wikipedia. I’ve seen both. https://t.co/Nom3Ai6tZF

What is Greek Identity?

“The uncritical adoption of Western culture and systems did not make the Greeks Westerners; indeed, it put them in a no-man’s land, cut off from traditional Greek culture but also not exactly Europeans.” https://t.co/uvbnbvcsQj

S. Trifkovic on the Atomic Bombings

The decisive factor in Japan's decision to surrender was the Soviet entry into the war and the Japanese elite's fear of Soviet influence. The enduring myth of the effectiveness of the atomic bombs, however, birthed the ideology of deterrence.https://t.co/s4njYRO6pj

"Nagasaki was the center of Catholicism in Japan. It had the biggest Christian population of any city in the country. And yet there we were – Catholics killing Catholics, and Protestants killing Protestants."

Pope Francis on Faith

Having faith means keeping your heart turned to God, to His love, to His Fatherly tenderness, amid the storm. Jesus wanted to teach this to Peter and the disciples, and also to us today (Mt 14:22-33). #GospelOfTheDay
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) August 9, 2020

It looks good but is it what St. Paul means by pistis? Should the scholastic account of faith as a theological virtue of the intellect that is nonetheless motivated by an act of the will be modified?

Andrew Bacevich's Contribution

"E.F. Schumacher was right: small is beautiful. On that score, conservative stewardship should include an emphasis on localism, craftsmanship, and the principle of subsidiarity." https://t.co/n58ZTDy2is

I agree with the excerpt but I think subsidiarity needs to be re-thought.

Hillbilly Elegy and Trump

Hillbilly Elegy not only helps us to understand the social phenomena highlighted by Donald Trump’s rise to the presidency; it also reminds us of other things that have been obscured by that rise, but that we ought not to forget. https://t.co/zEW2J1SH8P
