While Nidal Hasan deserves capital punishment, it would have been wrong to livestream his execution, and Trump was right to reverse that decision. The Church Fathers and St. John Henry Newman show us why, as I explain in an article at @PublicDiscourse thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/…

Awfully nice of Joshua Sohn, a progressive-leaning attorney writing from DC, to mention @LeahLibresco, @matthew_loftus, @kathrynlopez, @PatrickDeneen, @AmSolidarity, and myself as helping the pro-life movement chart a path forward in his essay for @PublicDiscourse

Thanks to @PublicDiscourse for publishing my article

"It is with those 'who work especially with their mind' that the development of AI technologies brings into sharper focus the dangers and opportunities for tools to either degrade or enhance human dignity as expressed in work."

"The gay program, now actually operating as 'queer pride,' is built on an intentionally radical and incoherent anthropology. It cannot cohere because it set out...to challenge the most fundamental truth of being human..." @PublicDiscourse

The most interesting piece I've seen yet on Nolan's Odyssey is this one by @beatrixscudeler @PublicDiscourse — thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/…
Public Discourse retweeted
'Very tellingly, Nolan’s Odyssey ends not with Odysseus’s triumphant return to rule Ithaca, but with his abdication to Telemachus and his decision to go on a self-imposed exile with Penelope to expiate his guilt about the war.'
My review of the Odyssey for @PublicDiscourse 👇🏼

There’s a way between the rule of an unaccountable bureaucracy and the reign of a king: constitutional government.

"The 'mushy middle' voters who perhaps would not choose abortion for themselves or a loved one, but feel bad eliminating that option for some other woman, need to be shaken out of the complacent stupor into which pro-abortion rhetoric has lulled them."

"Just a person who's lived it, who's escaped it, and who's trying to pull other girls off the conveyor belt leading them gently and quietly to destruction."

My latest for @PublicDiscourse:
“Perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from the Olympian mothers is that women are more than their bodies, and that we are all called to integrated human excellence, body and soul.”
