Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.Technology in warfare can certainly evolve and develop in ways that do not disrupt our basic understanding of what is going on. From the day that two tribes were throwing rocks at each other to the time when two nation states were launching missiles at each other, with the era of trebuchets in between, everyone understands the basic concept involved. All of it is right-handed warfare, with the projectiles simply differing in weight, speed, and behavior on impact.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• Why I Don’t Mind Talking About the 19th Amendment 21.07.2026 13min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.Over the last year or so, from time to time you may have wondered to yourself why I have taken it into my head to go around talking about the 19th Amendment so much. This, along with my supposed interest in repealing the right of women to vote. Why on earth would I ever do something like that? Well, you can’t expect me to talk about slavery all the time, can you?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.So when die-hard defenders of Candace try to say, as they will try to say, “Candace never said that Erika Kirk was in on the plot to kill Charlie!” or “Candace never denied that Tyler Robinson did it!” the reply should be, “Roll the tape.” And the way you can tell that radical relativism is the captain of their mental ship now is that rolling the tape does not matter to them in the slightest.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.In my last letter, I was emphasizing the prophetic office of Christ. He was the greater prophet who had been promised by Moses (Deut. 18:15). But I also need to present Christ to you as the one who holds two additional offices. John Calvin famously described the Lord’s three combined offices as the crucial offices of prophet, priest, and king.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.The Supreme Court’s failure last week to uphold the president’s executive order on birthright citizenship was genuinely disappointing. At the same time, it should not be an occasion for outrage or despair. There is all kinds of maneuvering room here. And. when you have maneuvering room, there are better things to do than to screech about it online. Let us pull ourselves together.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

• Standing in the Rubble of Testimony 01.07.2026 8min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.In this letter, I am going to start with the understanding that you have a high respect for Scripture. Although you are not yet at the point of affirming complete faith in its divine inspiration, you do take the prophets seriously, and have some sense of scriptural authority. You grew up with it, and it is deep within you.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

If He did rise from the dead, then He is the promised Messiah that the entire Old Testament was pointing toward. That would make the Jews the most to be pitied. This would mean that the ingenuity of a thousand rabbis can’t put the Old Testament jig saw puzzle together . . .For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• Land Acknowledgements and the Problem of Israel 22.06.2026 11min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.So let us talk about that impotent contemporary ritual called the “land acknowledgment.” Nowadays when an event or activity is going to be taking place somewhere, or an institution is opening, the proceedings will often begin with a land acknowledgment. This is a little empty gesture recognizing the indigenous people who used to live there. Along with the implication that nothing will be done about it.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• From Trash World to Even Trashier, Nazi Chic, and the Immanent Frame 18.06.2026 9min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.Cultural gaslighting is attempted when people in charge of something take some absurdity, throw a saddle on it, and then stand next to it, booted, spurred, and ready to ride. For example, the absurdity could be saying that the attempted beheading in Ireland was the result of us not being welcoming and inclusive enough. And believe me, they will ride that absurdity as long as the people out there put up with it. Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• Belfast Blues 18.06.2026 9min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.The system of anarcho/tyranny begins by being slack with native criminals, and harsh with those who resist them. A homeowner who defends his property against a burglar can get in far more trouble than the burglars do. In the UK, you can get in more trouble for posting a meme about violent immigrants than you can for being a violent immigrant. And it all begins with a “soft on crime” mentality, which is hard on anyone who does not join in with the soft on crime approach.Anarcho/tyranny is then taken to the next level with unrestricted immigration. You not only let in the Third World, but you also let in Third World levels of criminality. At a certain point, the law-abiding explode, and nine times out of ten this just strengthens the hand of the anarcho/tyrants. They say, “white privilege now includes burning Belfast down, and so we clearly need to take steps and implement measures."For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

There were boomers ahead of me, and boomers behind me, and absolutely everybody in my third grade class was also a boomer. Although we didn’t call ourselves that at the time.

• That PCA Report on Christian Nationalism 09.06.2026 20min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.So last Thursday the first part of the PCA’s study report on Christian nationalism dropped. For those who would check it out, here you go. The following is what I tweeted at the time, and so here we are...Before getting to my promised awkward questions, let me start by saying what was good about the report. And there was much that was good—if we restrict ourselves to various points in isolation. But depending on how the follow-up Q&A goes, we might find ourselves trying to deal with a conflicted version of Bunyan’s Mr. Facing-both-ways. We shall see.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• Struggling With God 04.06.2026 8min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.The name Israel was given to Jacob at Peniel (Gen. 32) when he was on his way to reunite with his brother Esau—doing so while not knowing if that reunion was going to be bloody or not. God had told him to return, and had promised that such a return would be blessed. But this was a promise that Jacob had to hang on to by sheer faith, especially after he got word that Esau was headed his way, and with four hundred armed men with him.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.I think we should be frank with one another at this point and just acknowledge that the world is having itself an upheaval. If this is not the Fourth Turning that Howe and Strauss wrote about back in the day, it is bidding fair to approximate some kind of white water turning. As the saying goes, “first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.” But all along that process is a good deal of churn...For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.What I am addressing here is the rank and manifest hypocrisy. In the original tweet, my point was that a hypocrite has no right to proclaim that Christ is king over all when it is manifestly clear that He is not king of his own mouth, or keyboard, or meme strategies. How can you declare that Christ is king over all those realms that you cannot change when His kingship is not apparent in those realms that your repentance could change?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  
• AI and the Cream Rising 20.05.2026 8min

  IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.I have already raised the central concern that we should have concerning AI, which is the problem that I have identified as AI-dolatry. AI excels at role-playing and has no scruples about role-playing as the Most High God...When professional worriers express their concerns about the impact of AI, it is often the economic side of things that comes to the fore. As mentioned above, I don’t think that is the main thing, but it is a thing, and so we should address it.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
