You know how they say that the NFL is better when certain teams are good? (Like the Packers, Bills, Steelers, etc) Well the NFL is substantially worse when the Bengals are good. Unethical, trashy fanbase, and fake demon team.

They don't talk about the Vikings receivers. Because apparently all you need is great receivers. Ask Kyler Murray.

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up. So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us." Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone. Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.) In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Catholicism is true

If the statue is not being worshiped, Catholics should not care that it is destroyed. Their reaction proves the point.

Friends, I just saw someone say that I will not answer a question about Harry Potter and Father Chad Ripperger because I am simply out here trolling. If you spend any time in my replies, I think you will see otherwise. I put a great deal of effort into answering people, including people who disagree with me, because I care about this work and I care about you. As for exorcist priests, my concern is much broader than Father Ripperger. I do not believe the public should ordinarily be hearing from exorcists at all. Their work is serious, private, pastoral work under the authority of the Church. Outside some unusual circumstance requested by a bishop, perhaps in a seminary or another carefully controlled setting, I see very little good in turning that ministry into public commentary. My deeper concern is what happens when Christians are trained to look for the devil in everything. If every book, movie, symbol, person, cultural change, or disagreement becomes evidence of demonic influence, eventually people begin living like spiritual radar systems, constantly scanning for darkness. And that can do something ugly to the soul. It can produce fear, suspicion, and eventually a quiet kind of pride: I see what everyone else is too blind to see. I recognize the evil. I am one of the discerning ones. That is not spiritual maturity. Christian discernment certainly takes evil seriously. But our eyes are supposed to be fixed first on Christ, not trained endlessly upon the devil. God’s peace be with you.
