Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

The war on empathy, led by Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and embraced by Trump and his MAGA movement, is a systematic rejection of Christian systematic theology as established from the second century. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Why Empathy Is Now ‘Toxic,’ ‘Suicidal,’ and a ‘Sin’
According to Gad Saad and his powerful acolytes, compassion is a recipe for “the collective suicide of the West.”
