>Be Father Thomas Byles
>Passenger on the Titanic in 1912
>The "unsinkable" ship hits an iceberg and starts going down in the freezing Atlantic
>Absolute panic and chaos break out as people realize there aren't enough lifeboats
>You are offered a seat on a lifeboat to save yourself. >Refuse.
>You are offered a seat a second time.
>Refuse
>Instead of trying to survive, you head straight to the rear deck where the doomed passengers are trapped
>Stand completely calm amidst the absolute terror
>Spend your final hours hearing confessions, offering general absolution, and leading the people in the Rosary
>Act as a literal bridge between heaven and earth for terrified souls right up until the freezing water swallows the stern
>The ultimate display of a shepherd laying down his life for his flock
This is what heroic virtue looks like.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERS A POWERFUL TRIBUTE
“If John Adams and George Washington or the King’s fifth great grandfather could see us today… they would be moved beyond words.
The wounds of war healed into the most cherished of friendships.
Redcoats and Yankees became Tommys and GIs, brothers in arms who together saved the free world.”
Trump just reminded the world of the unbreakable Anglo-American bond, from fierce enemies to the greatest allies in history.
Our shared blood, courage, and love of liberty lit a fire that changed humanity forever.

Testimony from Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan - the man who was in the room with Yasser Arafat in January 2001, when he rejected the Clinton Parameters (accepted by Israel) for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
“I wanted to cry. My heart burned over how the opportunity was lost once again…”
For context: the Parameters were President Bill Clinton’s final and far-reaching proposal for peace. They included a Palestinian state in nearly all of the West Bank and Gaza (with land swaps), a capital in East Jerusalem, and other major concessions. Israel accepted the framework. Bandar had already secured broad Arab support.
Arafat looked Bandar and the Egyptians in the eye and said he would accept… then lied to their faces and withdrew.
Bandar had previously warned Clinton: “If Arafat rejects this, it will not be a mistake - it will be a crime.” After the collapse, Bandar said his “heart burned” over the lost opportunity “perhaps for the last time.”
Arafat rejected peace and a Palestinian state - and chose terrorism and the Second Intifada instead.
This is not ancient history; it reflects the same ideology of hatred that led to October 7 attacks.

I don’t think we have remotely grasped the depths of Democrat fraud in this country yet. When you work two jobs and half your salary disappears in taxes, this is where the money goes.
This is why I support ICE.
Secretary Brooke Rollins@SecRollins
In just ONE state, 14,000 individuals receiving SNAP benefits were driving LUXURY VEHICLES! 🚗 3 Bentleys 🚗 3 Ferraris 🚗 11 Lamborghinis 🚗 59 Maseratis 🚗 141 Porsches 🚗 244 Alfa Romeos 🚗 306 Land Rovers 🚗 2,098 Teslas And this is just in ONE STATE. We need to defend our nutrition programs for those most in need, not for scammers gaming the system. These individuals are taking advantage of the American taxpayer. And together with @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, this ends NOW. 4.3M Americans have been moved off of SNAP — but more work to be done!

My intermediate and high school coaches kept two sets of old boxing gloves on a peg in the boy’s locker room.
If two guys were getting into it during basketball practice, the coach would pull them aside and ask if they wanted to go handle it in the locker room.
Often they did. Two guys would go back and beat the hell out of each other. They would come back out with a busted lip and a shiner and it was done. They would usually be pals after that.
Today if a coach did that at Botetourt Intermediate or Lord Botetourt he would probably be fired.
Why? Because the school system has become feminized and no longer knows how to deal with normal masculine behavior.
The school administration is overwhelmingly female. Normal male behavior is considered dangerous and aggressive.
My oldest son got into a fight with a guy that was picking on him on his football team, in the locker room.
A bunch of bystanders filmed it.
Word got out and the school conducted an enormous investigation.
They brought me and Laila in and showed us the video.
My response was “and? Why am I here? It looks to me like they handled it.”
But no it wasn’t done. Both boys expelled for a number of days. Bystanders disciplined. Counseling sessions. Etc etc.
Which did nothing but waste resources and extend a conflict that would have otherwise concluded.
Insisting that all boys conform to the female behavior standard in schools is unrealistic, it’s dangerous, and it will ultimately result in even more aggressive and explosive situations.
Bring back the boxing gloves.

🚨 FETTERMAN ADMITS IT:
Even Sen. John Fetterman who initially had no clue why President Trump wanted to expand the White House ballroom, now gets it:
“This clearly demonstrated how difficult it is to move around there.”
The White House is cramped and outdated. Trump wants to fix it and make it bigger and better.
Fetterman now supports it.
BUILD IT NOW!

SCOTT JENNINGS EXPLOTA EN CNN Y LOS DEJA EN SILENCIO:
“¡Tenemos un grave problema de violencia de izquierda en América y ya es hora de llamarlo por su nombre!”
“Después de tres atentados contra Trump, los ataques a Charlie Kirk, la casa de Kavanaugh, el tiroteo contra Scalise y una lista interminable… me despierto cada maldita mañana con un nudo en el estómago preguntándome: ¿quién será el próximo?”
“¡Hasta hubo una conspiración para asesinar a Russ Vought, director de la Oficina de Administración y Presupuesto! ¿Hasta dónde tienen que llegar?”
“Los conservadores estamos al borde del colapso nervioso con razón. Esto no para. Una y otra vez. Mientras tanto, la izquierda sigue llamando a Trump nazi, fascista, Hitler… repitiendo mentiras descaradas sobre Epstein y todo lo que se les ocurra. ¡Basta ya!”
“Se lo digo como conservador que vive esto todos los días: mi amigo fue asesinado el año pasado. Mi presidente sufrió tres intentos de asesinato.
Y la izquierda sigue fingiendo que el problema de la violencia política viene de la derecha.
Mentira. La violencia es suya. El odio es suyo. Y el silencio cómplice de los medios también es suyo.”

There is a region in southeastern Spain called Almería. If you pull it up on satellite imagery, you will assume the screen has glitched. A vast, blinding white scab where a landscape used to be.
It's not a glitch. It's 64,000 acres of plastic greenhouses. So much plastic sheeting that it is, genuinely, visible from space. The entire region has been wrapped in industrial farming film to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce for European supermarkets in January.
The plastic has created its own microclimate. The reflective surface is so vast it has measurably lowered local temperatures by bouncing sunlight back into the atmosphere. Scientists have a name for it. The Albedo effect of Almería. The only place on earth where human activity has cooled the local climate, and they did it by accident, while building the world's largest open-air plastic factory.
The plastic itself is single-use agricultural film. It sits in UV light for three to five years, degrades into microplastics, blows into the Mediterranean, and ends up in the ocean and the soil. Every year, 45,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated just from replacing degraded greenhouse covering. Every year. Just the covering.
Inside, workers from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa labour in 45°C heat for €30 a day. No contracts. No rights. Spraying crops with pesticides at concentrations that would be illegal on outdoor fields. Ventilation: minimal. Chemical exposure: constant. The aubergine looks lovely.
The groundwater underneath Almería is so contaminated with agricultural runoff that it has been declared unusable. The region now imports water from elsewhere in Spain while sitting on top of a poisoned aquifer it created. The land that was meant to feed Europe more efficiently has become a place that needs water flown in to keep the show running.
And this is what supplies your fresh vegetables in January. Grown in plastic factories. By exploited workers. Using groundwater they have already destroyed. Wrapped in more plastic. Shipped across Europe. Refrigerated the whole way. So a person in Manchester can have a tomato in February that tastes of nothing.
But sure. Cattle grazing on Scottish hills are the environmental problem.
Pull the satellite up. Have a look. Then tell me which system is the one that needs explaining.

Crazy council woman Nithya Raman doesn’t care if homeless drug addicts are shooting up, defecating, and exposing themselves to your kids right in front of their schools. And when moms object, she rolls her eyes and says “whatever”. This radical socialist is a serious threat to your kids and she must be stopped from being Mayor.
