Today on Contra Mundum: headlines on the Epstein files—is it all a nothing burger? What does it mean? And we discuss the final chapter of Peter Leithart’s Against Christianity. He’s made the case at length about what he is against, but what should we be for?

Minnesota has relented and begun cooperating with ICE, sending the State Patrol and local police to disperse agitators and protect their operations. Tom Homan has been sent in to conduct negotiations with Walz, Frey, and other leaders to honor immigration detainers. Trump unequivocally won this exchange. Leftist freaks are in shambles. Ilhan Omar is doing Jussie Smollett stuff. Protestors are storming Walz's office. This is a disaster for them. If you listen to much of the online right, unfortunately, they are certain that Trump has betrayed us, we've lost, Gavin Newsom is already president, we're all being put into camps, and our kidneys will be sold to buy missiles for Israel. But this is not so. The border is totally closed. After the BBB, ICE is nearly at full strength, mass deportations are finally happening, H1bs have been halved via bureaucratic scrutiny, the foreign student population is plummeting, and now a sanctuary state has been brought to heel. Where do things go from here? This, plus a discussion on Constantine from Leithart's Against Christianity.

Trump's DOJ has begun to make arrests in the leftwing disruption of the worship of Cities Church in Minnesota. Why did it take so long? Will Don Lemon be arrested? Will anyone get convicted? This plus further discussion of Against Ethics.

The Battle of Minneapolis rages in the week after an incident where a leftwing agitator lost her life while obstructing federal law enforcement operations. Will the administration have the resolve to see this out? Will the left be broken by this? Plus, we continue our journey through Leithart's Against Christianity.

The massive daycare and autism fraud in Minnesota has captured national attention. Will there be any significant arrests? Will there be mass denaturalizations and deportations? That and much, much more.

Today we do a quick livestream before Christmas. We'll take questions from the chat. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
