Last week, New Christendom Press hosted its annual conference in Ogden, Utah, called
"The War For Normal."
Featuring Christian nationalist speakers such as
Stephen Wolfe and Andrew Isker,
the conference generated controversy when it was reported that a vendor was being allowed to sell
Nazi and "pro-white" books at the event.
New Christendom Press founders Brian Sauvé and Eric Conn addressed the controversy on their "The King's …

Today a group of people are meeting to perpetuate the idea that we are a Christian nation. Not a nation that was founded on colonization.

Listening to RNZ talking to Labour's Carmel Sepuloni and National's Simon Watts. And wow, Simon is such a dim bulb. Precious few watts. National has no depth. Sadly Carmel isn't inspiring confidence in Labour's plan either.

Wow. Listening to Luxon just now on RNZ, National're embattled - hostile and flailing around ineffectually - and for good reason - they've done nearly nothing right in their term. The LNG terminal is a total clanger. They so richly deserve a perpetuity in political oblivion.

In the Iliad, #Odysseus is gifted a boar tusk helmet for a raid on the Trojans:
"Meriones [...] put a cleverly made leather helmet on his head. On the inside there was a strong lining on interwoven straps, onto which a felt cap had been sewn in. The outside was cleverly adorned all around with rows of white tusks from a shiny-toothed boar, the tusks running in alternate directions in…
