@caseymurph1 @VeteransforAz Totally. Chance of dying by venomous animal is like 50%. Stay away.

Arizona has the highest concentration of venomous animals. Do not move to Arizona.

@AGDugin Sorry to disappoint you. But this is fake news. Christ’s one holy and apostolic church is here.

The Christianity in the West is just a phantom pain. It was obliterated long long ago with the Modernity based on the materialist science, atheism, individualism, democracy and capitalism. The Modernity has transformed the West into non-Christian anti- Christian civilisation.

@RealAlexJones @piersmorgan When someone is colluding with Piers against my president, I know something isn’t right.

@piersmorgan It is

This is a brazen pre-admission of genocide against the Iranian people, which would obviously be a war crime. Madness.

@Repentant_0311 It was a 3 hour service. They were coupled with Lazarus Liturgy.

@reader_phros That must have taken a while. Glory to God!

Glory to God! This is only about 4 hrs from us.

@RJ4arizona What does this even mean? I think we’re all getting a little tired of big talk no action. Especially when one of your colleagues is trying to have @SecWar impeached.

Tomorrow it’s time to start taking names and kicking ass.

🇺🇸 やっとわかったよ、アメリカの友人たち。 何でそんなに日本を大事にしてくれるのかを。🤝 NATOの本当の危機は、防衛予算の数字だけじゃない。 それは欧州の「文化的優越感」だ。😤 80年間、**アメリカの納税者**が欧州の安全保障の大部分を負担してきた。💰 戦後のマーシャル・プランでは、アメリカ政府が約133億ドル（今日の価値で約1500億ドル相当）をほぼ全額、米国の税金で欧州に投入した。 冷戦期も、アメリカの政府と財団のお金で大学・美術館・オーケストラ・芸術活動を支え、「西側は洗練された自己実現の社会」と世界にアピールした。🎨 それでベルリンの壁は崩れた。🧱 しかし、皮肉な結果が生まれた。 他人のお金（主にアメリカの税金）**で長年「優雅さと高尚な文化」を享受すると、それを「自分たちの文明の成果」だと勘違いしてしまう。❌ 一方、アメリカは空母、工場、半導体、エネルギー開発といった現実的で地味な仕事を、汗水たらして担ってきた。💪 欧州の目には、それが「粗野なアメリカ」に映るらしい。 アメリカが「負担を公平に分け合おう」「エネルギー自立が大事だ」と言うと、「野蛮だ」「俗悪だ」と切り捨てる。🙄 現実を見よう。 欧州には世界をリードするグローバル企業も、完全なエネルギー自立も、米国抜きで本格的な軍事力を発揮する能力もない。 あるのは、アメリカが長年支えてきた文化と優越感だけだ。😌 文明とは、講義やシンフォニーではなく、自分で自分を守り、維持できる力のことだ。⚔️ 欧州よ、もう優位ぶるのはやめよう。 自分の海軍を強化し、エネルギーを自前で確保し、現実的な負担を果たせ。🚢 アメリカの強さを「当然の安全網」にしながら、見下すのはもう十分だ。⛔️ 私たちは十分に寛大だった。 本物の同盟とは、相互の責任を伴うものだ。講義ではなく、行動で示してくれ。✅ 一方、日本はどうだったか。 日本は日米同盟を基盤にしつつ、**自国の税金**で防衛力を着実に強化してきた。2025年にはGDP比約1.8%（約700億ドル規模）に達し、2026年以降さらに増額。 技術（半導体・AI・ロボット）やエネルギー自立にも実務的に投資し 「文化的優位で実務を軽視」する欧州型の心理とは明確に違う。🇯🇵 日本のように「同盟を大切にしつつ、自らしっかり負担する」姿勢こそが、健全な同盟の理想形だ。👍 アメリカの友人たち、そして日本の同志たちへ。❤️ 私たちアメリカ人は、80年間、自由を守るために血と汗と税金を注いできた。 日本は、その信頼に応え、静かに、しかし確実に自らの責任を果たしてきた。🙏 この絆を、感謝と敬意と現実的な行動で、さらに強くしていこう。 欧州の幻想に振り回されず、日米が手を取り合って、真の自立と相互尊重の同盟を築く時だ。🤝 私たちは、一緒にやれる。 そして、一緒に強くならなければならない。💪🔥 #NATO #BurdenSharing #JapanUSAlliance #AmericaFirst #StrongAlliances

I think the federal government should back off and let us run our own elections in Arizona.  ktar.com/arizona-electi…

@Fragbaza I needed to read this post this morning. Thank you father.

This icon depicts a terrible but salvific hour for every Christian soul. The exit of man from temporal life into eternity. In the last moment of earthly journeying, it is not wealth, power, authority, or human glory that accompanies man, but his deeds, his words, his thoughts, and the state of his heart before God. Then the whole truth of life is revealed, and on the scales of God's truth, it is not the external that is weighed, but the internal: faith, repentance, mercy, patience, love, and the breaking of the heart. On the one hand, there are sins that have been forgotten by man, but have not disappeared without repentance; evil deeds, idle words, condemnation, pride, cruelty, impurity, and all the ways in which the soul has darkened the image of God. On the other hand, there are the prayers of the Church, the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, the intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, the intercession of the holy angels, and all the good deeds that have been done for the sake of God, even if they have been hidden from others. This image reminds us that human life is short, but eternity is infinite. Therefore, we should not live in carelessness, postponing our repentance, for no one knows the day or hour when they will be called by the Lord. As long as the heart beats, as long as the lips can utter a prayer, as long as the soul remains in the body, the Lord awaits man's conversion and accepts anyone who comes to Him with humility and tears. There is no sin that can overcome God's mercy if a person truly repents. There is no darkness that cannot be dispelled by the light of Christ. There is no depth of fall from which the Lord cannot raise up the soul, if it clings to His ineffable love with fear of God and hope. Therefore, let us remember the hour of death not for despair, but for salvation, not for fear without hope, but for sobriety, prayer, and the correction of our lives. Let us keep the holy Orthodox faith, resort to the Sacraments of the Church, purify our souls by confession, be strengthened by the Communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, do works of charity, forgive our neighbours, keep our hearts from malice, and give thanks to God for everything. May the last hour not find us unprepared, but may the Lord grant us a Christian death. A painless, unshameful, peaceful death, and a good response at the Last Judgment of Christ. May the Most Holy Mother of God cover us with her holy omophorion, may the Guardian Angel not depart from us, and may the Lord lead our souls to light, peace, and eternal life. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us and grant us repentance before the end. Amen 🙏🏽

@Ironhead2k @Fragbaza That’s what you got from this post?

@Fragbaza Forgive me Father, but AI icons and AI depiction of existing icons can't be good.

@NakedHedgie I thought you were Orthodox?

OMG. The Pope has a voice and actually uses it once when it matters. Wow.

@sow413 I am an American and I love Japan and the Japanese people.

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

@captive_dreamer Uhm…..

Should I become Catholic or Orthodox?

I watched this video. I find it disturbing that this sort of behavior has become acceptable. That’s the only reason she thought she act this way. We need to bring back public humiliation. So it doesn’t get to this point. I also think it’s ironic that she screams for a female cop. If gender isn’t a thing than why is it so important?

@ImMeme0 has officially shared the single best video of the week. We were laughing so hard... until it became clear that the shrieks of this transgender attorney sounded just straight up deonic. Here's "Rob Hopkins" - and the courtroom footage has gone viral. It all went down after security cameras captured her being tackled to the ground and thrown in jail for contempt. Hopkins is an Oklahoma attorney. She completely ignored warnings several times and kept arguing and interrupting the judge. Finally, officers of the court were called in to arrest her. “I’m a transgender attorney practicing all over the state!” Hopkins shouted, also screaming she “couldn’t breathe” and demanding a female officer. WATCH this one through then REPOST! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@SecScottBessent @RapidResponse47 @FT Those who know know. We support you. Just sue them.

By publishing this explicitly false story, the @FT has officially become tabloid trash for market participants. Despite my direct, on-the-record denial of ever having advocated, explored, or espoused the idea that Chancellor-Bank of England statute serving as a prototype for a Treasury-Federal Reserve relationship, FT journalists manufactured a story with the headline, “Scott Bessent praised Bank of England as model for tighter oversight of the Federal Reserve.” These pathetic journalists have clearly fabricated a story to give the impression that both I and the Trump Administration are setting “about restructuring the relationship… at a time when President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the world’s most important central bank.” Their mendacious assertion is based on vague statements from unnamed “financial industry executives familiar with the matter.” In short, FT has literally manufactured an entirely fake policy position for me and the Administration. Other than furthering a maliciously false narrative of dysfunction and divisiveness, it baffles the mind as to why they would shred their already diminished journalistic credibility. Over the past 10 years, I have written more than 20,000 words opining on the Federal Reserve decisions, personnel, structure, and modifications. Nowhere have I ever mentioned this ridiculous notion. The Governor’s letters to the Chancellor have proven to be a useless and perfunctory device. There is much to be said about the storied Bank of England, but any recreation of its operating framework on this side of the Atlantic has never been contemplated. The shameful journalists and editors at the FT are shocking in their meretriciousness, lack of standards, and general intellectual libertinism. It is the worst tradition of Fleet Street to manufacture news rather than report on it. They have brought irredeemable shame to their parent organization, Nikkei Inc., with whom I had previously held excellent relations. In 2025, I laid out a comprehensive 6,000+ word review of each and every policy reform that I believe should be adopted by the Federal Reserve.
