In the timeless wisdom of ancient strategy, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War illuminates the path to victory through adherence to higher principles. He declares, “The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.” This Moral…

An Unnatural History of the United States, Year 2021–2025 Once upon a thyme, in a White House not so far away, the President of the United States was not a man, but a fern. A drooping, slightly damp Boston fern with a remarkable ability to mumble incoherently in the wind and yet still inspire 81…

Dear Friends at Calvary Chapel and Beyond, Something has come alive in me these past few weeks. I haven’t told anyone yet, but I’m writing now because I believe this needs to be said. Not out of condemnation, but out of conviction. Not to attack, but to awaken. What I’m about to say may challenge…

I remember that morning so vividly, the very air holding something dense and indescribable, like the weight of a thousand unsung songs resting on the world’s shoulders. It was a day no one could have anticipated, a day like any other until it wasn’t—an unassuming day, quietly strange, as though all things knew what was…

[INTRO] Hark, the iron clarion across the Hudson roars, Hark, the footfalls echo on Manhattan’s floors. Red as blood, the banners drown the morning sun, Comrade Mandami comes—your freedom’s come undone. — [VERSE 1] Steel hands seize the skyline, drag it to its knees, The brokers’ shrieking fortunes vanish on the breeze.

[Verse 1]He came strutting down Queens in a cardigan vest,Swearin’ $30…

When a great city begins to shiver under the weight of its own contradictions, when the boulevards that once rang with ambition grow hushed in a quiet dread, when the crowds that once rushed in dazzling purpose now drift like sleepwalkers—it is then, in that twilight, that the soul of the city cries out for…

When the phrase “Thank God it’s Friday” is uttered, it falls upon the ears like a triumphant trumpet announcing the liberation of weary souls from the toils of labor. Conversely, “Thank God it’s Monday” lands more like an unfamiliar note—at once perplexing, perhaps even suspect, to the minds habituated to the rhythm of the modern…

In the not-so-distant horizon of 2025, when the silver towers of Manhattan still gleamed with the hunger of old money and fresh ambition, a man called Zohran emerged — not merely elected, but enthroned by a populace softened by exhaustion and seduced by promises of safety.
