Pentagon Bans Leftist Think Tank Events
In a sweeping move that signals a dramatic shift in Washington, the Pentagon has drawn a clear line in the sand: no more cozying up to globalist mouthpieces masquerading as national security forums. Effective immediately, Defense Department officials will no longer be allowed to speak at events that fail to align with the values of the current administration. This comes days after a bold decision to pull all military leadership from the Aspen Security Forum—a notorious gathering of elite insiders and Trump critics like Jake Sullivan—sending a sharp message to the D.C. establishment. With pressure mounting from conservative leaders who’ve long called out institutions like the left-leaning Aspen Institute, the Pentagon’s move is a firm stand against “America Last” ideology. “The days of 'business as usual' are OVER,” declared Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson, warning that thorough vetting will now determine who gets access to our military’s voice.

Henry Louis "H.L." Mencken (1880)September 12, 2025
Often regarded as one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century, Mencken was a journalist, satirist, social critic, and cynic known as the "Sage of Baltimore," for the city where he lived his entire life. Perhaps best remembered for his satirical reporting on the Scopes evolution trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey trial," Mencken was frequently critical of myriad institutions. Why did the Arkansas legislature pass a motion in 1931 to pray for Mencken's soul? Discuss

Festival of St. Nichiren's Pardon
At the Botamochi Temple in Kamakura, Japan, this festival honors St. Nichiren (1222-1282), considered to be Japan's most fervent Buddhist priest. He was exiled to the island of Sado in the Sea of Japan in 1271. After four years there, he returned and spent the rest of his life on Mount Minobu. The Festival of Nichiren's Pardon is observed by members of the Nichiren sect with massive demonstrations and the loud chanting of prayers attributed to Nichiren, accompanied by the beating of drums. People make offerings of botamochi, rice balls covered with sweet bean paste, in his honor. Discuss
