In a recent video, Brian Holdsworth declares his opinion that justice is a greater value than liberty, and roots his claim based on the teachings of Aristotle.

I love Aristotle, and believe he prepared the philosophical ground for the coming of Christianity, but myself hold that the greatest value, charity, is at the core of Christianity.

One form of charity if mercy. To have mercy, you must first have justice. To have justice, you must first have liberty. Holdsworth treats these as if they conflict, but the truth is that only perversions of these can be in conflict with the other goods. Liberty, Justice, & Mercy cooperate. They do not conflict in the Christian view.

Shawn Arcidino from Atomic Collision said the bike lanes made parking cars in front of his shop hard ... "I'm not anti-bike lane. I want everyone to be happy, but I also don't want you to come in here and tell me, 'this is what you're going to like,'" Arcidino said.

Outline:

• Need to set boundaries and for our sons to become men.

• Fathers need to have a plan. Their sons should have a real trade by the time they are an adult.

• The dad is the template his daughter will look for in a man. He needs to affirm her and give her protection.

• Boys don't just grow up to become men. They struggle with the question, "What does it mean to be a man?"

• No one can give what they do not have. Young men need structure and a narrative of what's right and what's wrong.

• Men, eat with your family. Talk with your children.

• Boys need physical play with their dads.

• DO NOT GIVE UNSUPERVISED INTERNET ACCESS TO YOUR KIDS!

• Tell your children about your ancestors and men of virtue.

• Your primary duty is to love your family. The Protestant idea of men ruling over the family is wrong. Authority is for a duty and the duty is to love your wife and children.e

• You must tell them what it means to be a man and how a man lives.

• Traditional rites are important. Do manly things alone with your boys.

• Company-keeping (dating/courtship) with the intent to prompt marriage is a necessary near occasion to sin, so it should be done prudently. Take proper precautions. Dating is not a recreation. It is serious. Avoid being alone together. Pray. Utilize communion and confession.

• When you are ready, you should be able to put a roof over her head and food on the table. You don't need to have much, but you must be able to provide the necessities.

• Q&A.

Before Sunday, 541 deaths around the world since 1981 had been logged by the BASE Fatality List, maintained by an online community for the sport. This year, 15 such deaths have been reported globally, according to the list.

Brown County Sheriff’s Department in Wisconsin used Flock cameras, which record the license plates of every vehicle that passes by them, to identify and arrest a resident of Wisconsin for purchasing marijuana. Per the report, the cops used Flock’s network of cameras to track the man as he drove from Wisconsin, where possession remains a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for a first offense, to Michigan, where recreational weed purchase and possession are legal.

Per the report, the cops looked up his license plate and found that he “travels to Michigan frequently.” Of course, they couldn’t prove by the cameras alone that he was going to Michigan to buy weed. But apparently just going across state lines is enough to create suspicion. In a criminal complaint filed by the police against the man, they call Michigan a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there.”

The Kyiv Independent’s Jimmy Rushton speaks with MAGA influencer Laura Loomer during her visit to Kyiv about the dramatic shift in her stance on Ukraine after years of opposing U.S. military aid to the country, spreading Russian propaganda narratives, and cooperating with Russian state media outlets such as Russia Today (RT). Loomer shares her experience of visiting Ukraine and meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky. She also explains why she believes she was misled by Russian propaganda, why she now supports sending Patriot air defense interceptors to Ukraine, her views on U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to Russia and Vladimir Putin, and why she believes prominent voices on the American right have underestimated the threat posed by the Kremlin.
