Logan B. Lee: Crouched between reflective handrails and stained cloth seats holding the memories of seasons past, I encountered daily more humanity, more culture, and more reverent wisdom than perhaps ever before. frontporchrepublic.com/2025/09/restor…
Both writing and reading are a human art. Do not let the machines take that from you. Write dangerously and gloriously. Kelsey Peterson writes a lovely essay about this in @FrontPorchRepub frontporchrepublic.com/2025/09/writin…
Whether I agree or disagree with the essays, I always enjoy @FrontPorchRepub's thoughtful, well-written recommendations.

Brandon McNeice: Somewhere along the way we let the worst abuses of industrial child labor define the whole idea of kids working. We mistook the sweatshop for the shop. The first deserves prohibition; the second deserves protection. frontporchrepublic.com/2025/09/in-def…

Ian Hearn: Whether we believe we choose a place of our own accord, or whether we live in a place that, not having chosen at all, we struggle to maintain any affinity with, we must seek to grow in knowledge about where we find ourselves. frontporchrepublic.com/2025/09/of-bra…
Joseph Hudson writes on Charlie Kirk from their common hometown: "I pray Charlie’s old neighbors will keep the flags flying, the campus debates respectful, and their doors open to all visitors." frontporchrepublic.com/2025/09/midwes…
Just an unsolicited plug for this project.. there are few ideolgically cross-cutting sites left in American life.. and this is one of the good ones. I get something out of almost everything I read from them... even if I don't always agree.

Jeffrey Bilbo characterizes AI as “a technology suited to a decadent culture” and warns of the “seductive power such tools exercise over us.” AI offers seemingly limitless answers to difficult questions, but these answers are not drawn from a framework that values the human…
