We are so glad you’re here with us Matt.

I’m a life-long conservative. However, for some funny reason I am more attracted to liberals who are seeing what we’ve always known. It confirms what we knew, but had nagging doubts since few people in media agreed.

True conservatives always want the truth, no matter who it upsets. Matt is definitely a true conservative! Welcome to the once-nerdy, now kinda cool conservative side of the isle.

Awesome job Matt. You hit the nail on the head, regarding religious level investments of belief and devotion to secular, materialistic, political ideologies. Have you heard of Rudolf Steiner circa 1920 and his perspective on the diminishment of the human being to the equivalent of a meat machine by the materialistic bent of modern thought and science ?

Thanks Matt! Great perspective as always. I look forward to reading your articles and listening to you and Walter talk about short stories. I really really love that and look forward to it. This year maybe I’ll read some of the selections.

I can’t tell you how much I love your work Matt. You are my sanity. Also love the Racket artwork on display here. What a great team.

Always love matt’s musing. But the Reader should know that you don’t “fall prostate.” On second thought, in an ambiguous era, maybe biological males do.

As we start 2025, let's remember the Munk Debate, 2022, where Matt stood up with Douglas Murray to start the turnaround to making a better world. A short commemorative poem:-

Remember, Remember, the end of November,

When Musk, Matt and Murray marked the End of the Error:-

Said Bari and Michael, and Jordan and Glenn:-

Brett, Heather, and Sasha, Konstantin and Ben:-

Both Tuckers and Tupey, Malone and Rogan:-

Chris, Eric, and Greenwald, and SubStackers Ten:-

"Rediscover the self, improve personal health":-

"And evolve, become sane,"
