@ChrisMurphyCT @mehdirhasan Reading replies here shows me how the MAGA right has the mental capacity of toddler

Ok Twitter, I can’t believe I need to clarify this but obviously Trump’s bungled mismanagement of this war is not “awesome”. As I have said a million times here, it’s a disaster and he should end the war immediately. My tweet was something called “sarcasm”.

@newstart_2024 Detest the title of this video but it makes the point quite well:

Heather Mac Donald went there with John Stossel:
“If it weren’t so insane, it would be perfectly obvious that men and women are different.”
Boys and girls show clear differences in aggression, toy choices, and risk-taking almost from toddlerhood. Men, on average, have a stronger drive for novelty, competition, and yes — doing stupid, dangerous stuff. (Her favorite proof? Hearing motorcycles roar past her New York apartment and instantly knowing the rider’s sex: “You idiots.”)
She acknowledges exceptions exist, but we’re talking group averages. Pretending those averages don’t exist requires serious ideological effort.
Have you noticed stark behavioral differences between young boys and girls in real life, or do you think it’s mostly social conditioning?
Have you noticed these clear behavioral differences between boys and girls in real life, and do you think society would be healthier if we stopped denying innate sex differences and started working with them instead?

@Irishgeezah @TomCotterillX “Why else would they fear so-called 'witch hunts'?” Witch Hunts, are by definition, to be feared.
English

@TomCotterillX Surely this must be treated as as admission that the SAS actively commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing.
Why else would they fear so-called 'with hunts'?

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to “witch hunts” by human-rights lawyers.
Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army’s most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release.
The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as “significant” and a “threat to national security”.
At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded “witch hunts”, are believed to be the main driving forces.
Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release “on principle” just before Christmas.
“Morale is s--t at the moment,” one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was “considerable disquiet” in the regiment as a result.
The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally.

@cephas0619 Do you really think that using Donald Trump's rape of E Jean Carroll to show the flaw in your argument about rape being a problem of uncontrolled immigration is going off topic?
You evidently don't do comprehension very well.
English

“For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.”

@hughp1970 Simpletons have a difficult time staying on topic. Life can’t be easy for you. They can also be unbalanced and violent, for that reason I’ll block you but I do it with the utmost charity for your condition.
English

@cephas0619 Donald Trump raped E Jean Carroll.
That wasn't anything to do with uncontrolled immigration.
Take your racism and fuck off.
English

@hughp1970 @DanielJHannan Problems of rape are definitely problems of uncontrolled immigration.
English

@DanielJHannan None of this was true when he said it, and none of those things are true today.
The difficulties faced today in housing, social care, NHS, education are not problems because of immigration. They're problems because of a lack of investment and a desire to demonise those in need.

@TheFourMarks @IesusRexEst @PapistDirectory @goandsinomore Cupich is not a good guy. If I were staging Jesus Christ Superstar, I would have a Cupich doppelgänger playing Judas.

@IesusRexEst @PapistDirectory @goandsinomore I live in Chicago. Cupich restricts the Novus Ordo in Latin and offered ad orientem to 6 churches. One pastor asked permission to reintroduce ad orientem and was accused of "inciting hatred" and ordered to take a 10-day private retreat.

@DaveLeGaeilge @USSR2Europe @Chloe20261376 @HelenDuignan2 So should the government cater to logistical idiosyncrasies of each family? Get real!

@USSR2Europe @Chloe20261376 @HelenDuignan2 Good that that worked out for you, but each family has their own idiosyncratic logistical challenges to navigate and it may not be viable for others

The media has done such a number on these people that they fear their children witnessing a 5 minute Christian prayer in school. This is Catholic Derangement Syndrome.
The same cohort jump up & down to demonstrate their enthusiastic acceptance of all other religions, including of course the transgender one.

It was a Freudian slip and he immediately corrected himself.
Whoever sent this to you skipped that part in their editing, which seems quite a manipulative thing to do.

JUST IN: During Mass, a priest asks the Lord to “take Donald Trump” during a prayer. The entire congregation starts laughing. “We pray for peace. We pray for Donald Trump, the Lord will take him.” As a Catholic, this is shameful behavior. Wishing death on someone in a place of worship is pure evil.

🚨 “WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?” — KATIE COURIC WARNS 17 CANCERS ARE SKYROCKETING… AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY
Katie Couric says doctors are now seeing something they can’t ignore:
• A 21-year-old with stage 4 colorectal cancer — no family history
• Patients in their 20s, 30s, 40s being diagnosed late… already metastatic
• 17 different cancers increasing among people under 50
And even specialists are struggling to explain it.
Possible factors being discussed:
• Ultra-processed food
• Microplastics + “forever chemicals”
• Antibiotic overuse
• Environmental exposure
Couric: “It’s not just lifestyle… something is going on.”
And the most unsettling part?
Many cases are being caught too late.
So what changed?
What do you think is actually behind this spike?

@DavQuinn @CatholicHerald Completely missing the point, by a million miles…..
Your Church treated them like dirt in the first place to put them there. Then the slave labour, the shame, stealing babies from them…
Immoral in any language.

THE POPE IS WRONG
The pope is wrong.
I'm not talking about the pissing match between him and Trump, an embarrassment arising from two men with problem egos.
I'm talking about the gospel. He's wrong about that.
On Palm Sunday, presiding at the altar, dressed in his vestments and regalia, standing above the body and blood of Christ, proclaiming as the bishop of Rome the gospel, he said, "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
Let that sink in.
"Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
That is preposterous, and conflicts directly with the Bible, the teachings and history of his own Roman Catholic Church, and the very nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Bible, there are six separates Psalms written as prayers by David while he was waging war. In these prayers he asked God to bless his efforts and defeat his enemies.
Does the pope want us to believe that the Lord ignored those prayers and rejected David as he offered them? Should those Psalms be removed from the Bible canonized by his own church four times over more than a thousand years?
What about Jehoshaphat, Elisha, Joshua and Hezekiah -- as well as the entire tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh -- who all while waging war prayed fervently to God to deliver them and subdue their enemies?
God ignored them, too, and rejected them?
That's a little hard to swallow given that each one of them was blessed with success in battle and rejoicingly thanked the Lord for it.
That's what the Bible says.
As far as the doctrinally authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church, the church declares the principle of "just war" -- based on the teachings of saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas -- and Catholic tradition specifically calls on those waging war to ask for victory in justice and protection for Catholic troops.
And what of the Catholic chaplains in our Armed Forces? Should they tell young men and women waging war in their country's service that their prayers are pointless, as they will be ignored and rejected by their Savior? Isn't that what the Holy Father said?
Finally, there is the matter of Constantine as he prepared for the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. A pagan who was about to wage war, he asked God to bless him with victory. At that point, he saw a cross in the sky and words that told him to march under its banner. That led to his conversion, the embrace of Christianity by the Roman Empire, the Nicaean Creed, and the official governmental sponsorship that made the Catholic Church one of the most powerful and wealthy institutions in the western world.
Is the pope saying that the Lord turned a deaf ear to Constantine? Was that all a mistake or misunderstanding? Should we still be worshipping the sun god?
Of course not.
But this isn't about history or doctrine, soldiers or even the Bible.
It's about Jesus Christ.
"Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them."
Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus listens to everyone's prayers, and Jesus rejects no one.
The Lord loves us all, no matter who we are, no matter what we have done, no matter how far we have fallen. God loves us all, and waits like the adoring Heavenly Father he is for us to reach out to him. He rejoices when we pray, he embraces us when we pray, he pours out his blessings upon us when we pray.
Even if we are waging war.
Even if we are in the depths of sin. Maybe especially if we are in the depths of sin.
"The Lord is near to all who call upon him," David said. And that is true, no matter what Leo said.
God always loves us, God is always there for us, God will always hear our prayers.
It's unfortunate the vicar of Christ seems confused on that point.

Because my question wasn’t about if the kid is happy, it’s about the mother caring more about having a child regardless of what kind of laundry list of problems it has. It could be bed ridden and unable to feed itself and she would say the same thing, and yet it would spend its entire existence being cared for by other people. What happens when the mother dies? Who takes on the burden?
