    Gab News - Jul 1st 2023 2:29pm EDT

    Nearly everything that is publicly accessible on the Internet is being “scraped” or downloaded by various sources.

    Gab News - Jun 28th 2023 10:32am EDT

    Part of Gab’s mission is to export the First Amendment to the entire world. To do this we regularly must tell foreign governments to pound sand when they make requests for user data and demand that we censor content that is protected by the First Amendment.

  • Culture is Downstream from Commerce: The Importance of Conscious Consumerism

    Gab News - Jun 26th 2023 10:24am EDT

    Our purchasing decisions have massive implications beyond simply satisfying our immediate needs or desires.

This in turn influences the culture which then influences political action in our society. Recently we’ve seen tremendous success with boycotting […]

    The United States is well within a period of terminal decline. This is a cause of great discouragement and even despair for many. For many years the decline was noticeable but easy to deny.

  • A Modern Pilgrimage: Online Communities as Virtual Nation States

    Gab News - Jun 21st 2023 9:31am EDT

    The existing infrastructure and cultural norms in the West are increasingly hostile or incompatible with Christian values.

  • Embracing Truth and Defying Fear

    Gab News - Jun 14th 2023 11:02am EDT

    Christians are often confronted with challenges that test their faith and convictions. In the face of today’s moral ambiguity and cultural relativism it is essential for believers to stand firm in their understanding of the Truth and take bold action. Christians need to shed their fears, refuse to tolerate evil, and remember to operate within […]

  • Great Books of Christianity: The Modern Era 

    Gab News - Jun 12th 2023 12:35pm EDT

    by ThinkingWest The most challenging period in which to select the great books of Christianity is the modern era. The sheer volume of Christian literature produced in the last two centuries makes extracting out “the best” a difficult task. Moreover, books written closer to the present have not yet been sorted by the harshest critic […]

  • Sorta

    Gab News - Jun 8th 2023 1:46pm EDT

    by J.Pilgrim I finally sorta-finished my greenhouse. It took eight trips to the homestead, spread over ten months, and cost roughly $4,000 out of the budgeted $3,000, without calculating fuel, food, and beer. I say “sorta”, because I still need to reinforce the roof by turning beams into trusses, then level out the floor and […]

  • Animals Move  —  Confessions of a Steward

    Gab News - Jun 6th 2023 3:29pm EDT

    by Joel Salatin, Plain Values In animal husbandry and livestock production, probably the most common violation of God’s design is failure to mimic animal movement. Whether it’s a horse paddock, dog run, or a 1,000 cow herd, keeping animals requires intentional and managed movement. Studying God’s design in nature reveals a remarkably sophisticated animal choreography. […]

    In today’s clown world people are seeking effective means to express their beliefs and fight for causes they hold dear.

  • Great Books of Christianity: The Medieval Period

    Gab News - May 19th 2023 2:15pm EDT

    by ThinkingWest Christianity is no stranger to the great books of the West and stands out among the great books as the inspiration for many of the foundational works of philosophy, literature, and science. Thus, there are a subset of great books in the West that aim to study Christianity itself. The Medieval period (~600 […]

    by Rory Feek, Plain Values April is my birthday month, which is always interesting for me. Each year, although I physically turn another year older, my mind never seems to age. The voice inside my head seems to stay forever young and stuck in another time, convinced that time stands still. But the face that […]

  • Christian Nationalism and the Most-Abused Verse in the Bible

    Gab News - May 17th 2023 11:19am EDT

    by Pastor Andrew Isker There is currently no verse in the evangelical world more abused than Galatians 3:28. Only recently did this newcomer knock off the decades-long world champion, Matthew 7:1 “judge not, lest ye be judged.” But today, in the context of intense propaganda that seeks to demonize those of European descent and a […]

  • Great Books of Christianity: The Early Church

    Gab News - May 12th 2023 4:30pm EDT

    by ThinkingWest Perhaps no other topic has been written about in the West more than Christianity. In the past 2,000 years, tomes on the faith have been written by kings, monks, prophets, and laymen alike. One might conclude that no other faith has inspired, and been inspired by, great literature quite like Christianity. Therefore, in […]
