I am a sinner, a stupid man and I appreciate everyone who has ever pointed out my sin and brought me back to God. It was never about judging me or hate, it was about saving me and that is Love.

Do you really think the proponents of the 14th amendment after the Civil War were selling birthright citizenship for Chinese birth tourists and other illegals? Use your brain.

Wednesday of Holy Week "Both our Lord and Judas had been dipping their hands in the same dish of wine and fruit. Humanly speaking, it would seem that our Lord should have thundered out His denunciation of Judas, but rather in a last attempt to save him, He used the bread of fellowship. When our Lord said: 'It is the man to whom I give this piece of bread which I am dipping in the dish,' He was actually offering a gesture of friendship. The giving of the morsel seems to have been traditional among the Greeks and Semites. Socrates said that it was always a mark of favor to give a morsel to a table neighbor. Our Lord held open to Judas the opportunity to repent, as He later did once again in the Garden of Gethsemane. But though our Lord held the door open, Judas would not enter. The marks of mercy and friendship extended by the Victim should have burned his lips, as the thirty pieces of silver would later burn his hands. Only some minutes previously the hands of the Son of God had washed the feet of Judas; now the same divine hands touched the lips of Judas with a morsel; in a few hours, the lips of Judas will kiss those of our Lord in the final act of betrayal. When they (the other disciples) saw Judas leave, they assumed that he went on a mission of charity (John 13:28). But Judas had gone out to sell, not to buy. Judas went out, 'and it was night,' (John 13:30), an appropriate setting for a deed of darkness. It would also be night at midday when the Lord was crucified." (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)

The satellites don't lie. The planet is greener today than it was 20 years ago. This was confirmed by the latest satellite studies of shifts in vegetation by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). The greening trend is continuing and widening, and 70% is attributed to higher CO2. We're seeing new greening hotspots in India, China and even the Arctic as growing seasons lengthen. If CO2 is 'pollution' why is Earth's total leaf area expanding? The new green abundance is planet wide. Earth's natural systems are managing the planet far better than by any UN bureaucracy. Atmospheric CO2 is not the 'climate control knob they claim. It's a trace gas at only 0.042% of the air. The gradual increase in CO2 over many decades has increased global greening. It's time to recognise that CO2 is plant food, not a toxic byproduct.

@RonDeSantis We can’t even get the Save America act passed….

We are supposed to be a country based on “We the People,” but that is supposed to be We the American People. Allowing foreigners, who are either violating the law or abusing the law, to birth US citizens — especially in such large numbers — does not square with the idea that we are supposed to be governed by the consent of the people. Congress needs to stop the madness if the Supreme Court fails to do so.

@bonchieredstate I’m starting to notice that people who makes derogatory personal attacks or foul language in their posts are doing so because they have no logical argument to back up their assertions.. These people are actually stupid

The number of people who don't know beef prices have been skyrocketing for the last few years is mind-blowing. No, the continued rise in beef prices is not about the Iran conflict.

@bonchieredstate 14th amendment was designed for this.. 🤔?

To me, the birthright citizenship case is one that's so painfully obvious when you apply both a historical lens and common sense. Anchor babies were not the intent. But also, the language is just vague enough that without a new amendment, we'll never get it overturned.

@BasedMikeLee @mrddmia x.com/erichhartmann/…

Want to encourage illegal immigration? Easy! Just ignore the limiting clause in the middle of the sentence: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

@BasedMikeLee But yet here we are.. and SCOTUS appears to side with compelling us with exactly that.

The Constitution isn’t a national suicide pact It doesn’t compel us to encourage illegal immigration with universal birthright citizenship

@JesseKellyDC @mdelmerwi And it’s sad that majority of Justices will not side with the Government

It’s wild how everyone understands the birthright citizenship question. Everyone knows what the law is about. Everyone knows the communists are abusing it to import foreigners and destroy the country. And everyone feels the need to just lie about these obvious facts.

@mrddmia @mdelmerwi Why is it looking like it going to be a 5-4 loss.. Unreal.. like you said earlier this should be an easy one.

China has over a million citizens who also have U.S. birthright citizenship. Birth tourists. Who can vote in our elections. And take our welfare benefits. Do the justices who sold themselves as textualists and originalists think the 14th amendment or any statute means that? roy.house.gov/media/press-re…

@cule5477383 @bonchieredstate Wallowing continues

@Deadelephants2 @bonchieredstate Stop repeating what some know nothing idiot says. Literally take 3 minutes and look for yourself. You’ll be less ignorant

Lady, there's literally a seat reserved at all times in the chamber for the president. Next time, consider calming down.

@cule5477383 @bonchieredstate Wallowing in ignorance…

@Deadelephants2 @bonchieredstate There literally isn’t dumbass

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

Every RED State… copy and paste.

@Ok1ah0maC0wboy @Burgess7281975 It’s incredible watching @Burgess7281975 spitting out facts while these Protestants flounder in meaningless word salads with nothing specific to back their claims This app has truly destroyed the lies of the rebellious for the whole world to see Brothers and sisters come home

Often when I hear Catholics talking about their beliefs I can't help but think of the Sanhedrin. It's like y'all make up a rule and then you need 3 more rules to govern that rule and so on and so forth even unto the very end of time rules upon rules upon clarification upon yet another set of clarifications. You know that's the thing about the law -- You just never know when you've done enough long enough hard enough To somehow be righteous. It doesn't end there is no end of the rules or the laws. There cannot be peace between Liberty and law. It's not possible. The law always persecutes grace every single time.

How about I explain to you what a Christian is first. (1) The Catechism of Pope Saint Pius X (A.D. 1908) Q. Who is a true Christian? A. A true Christian is he who is baptised, who believes and professes the Christian Doctrine, and obeys the lawful pastors of the Church. Q. What is the Catholic Church? A. The Catholic Church is the Union or Congregation of all the baptised who, still living on earth, profess the same Faith and the same Law of Jesus Christ, participate in the same Sacraments, and obey their lawful Pastors, particularly the Roman Pontiff. Q: Q. What does the Ninth article: The Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, teach us? A: The Ninth Article of the Creed teaches us that Jesus Christ founded a visible society on earth called the Catholic Church, and that all those who belong to this Church are in communion with one another. Q. State distinctly what is necessary to be a member of the Church? A. To be a member of the Church it is necessary to be baptised, to believe and profess the teaching of Jesus Christ, to participate in the same Sacraments, and to acknowledge the Pope and the other lawful pastors of the Church. Q. Who are the lawful pastors of the Church? A. The lawful pastors of the Church are the Roman Pontiff, that is, the Pope, who is Supreme Pastor, and the Bishops. Other priests, also, and especially Parish Priests, have a share in the pastoral office, subject to the Bishop and the Pope. Q. Why do you say that the Roman Pontiff is supreme Pastor of the Church? A. Because Jesus Christ said to St. Peter, the first Pope: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound also in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed also in Heaven." And again: "Feed My lambs, feed My sheep." Q. The many societies of persons who are baptised but who do not acknowledge the Roman Pontiff as their Head do not, then, belong to the Church of Jesus Christ? A. No, those who do not acknowledge the Roman Pontiff as their Head do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ. Q: Who are they who do not belong to the Communion of Saints? A: Those who are damned do not belong to the Communion of Saints in the other life; and in this life those who belong neither to the body nor to the soul of the Church, that is, those who are in mortal sin, and who are outside the true Church. Q. Who are they who are outside the true Church? A: Outside the true Church are: Infidels, Jews, heretics, apostates, schismatics, and the excommunicated. Q. Who are infidels? A: Infidels are those who have not been baptized and do not believe in Jesus Christ, because they either believe in and worship false gods as idolaters do, or though admitting one true God, they do not believe in the Messiah, neither as already come in the Person of Jesus Christ, nor as to come; for instance, Mohammedans and the like. Q. Who are the Jews? A: The Jews are those who profess the Law of Moses; have not received baptism; and do not believe in Jesus Christ. Q. Who are heretics? A: Heretics are those of the baptized who obstinately refuse to believe some truth revealed by God and taught as an article of faith by the Catholic Church; for example, the Arians, the Nestorians, and the various sects of Protestants. Q. Who are apostates? A: Apostates are those who abjure, or by some external act, deny the Catholic faith which they previously professed. Q. Who are schismatics? A: Schismatics are those Christians who, while not explicitly denying any dogma, yet voluntarily separate themselves from the Church of Jesus Christ, that is, from their lawful pastors.

Wednesday of Holy Week is traditionally known as ‘Spy Wednesday’, to commemorate the treachery of Judas, who made a bargain with the high priest to betray Jesus for 30 silver pieces (Matt 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11; Luke 22:1-6). Thus, Judas became a spy in the midst of the disciples, seeking an opportunity to hand Jesus over. “Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What will you give me if I betray him to you?’ And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.” (Matthew 26:14-16) This act of betrayal stands in stark contrast to Mary of Bethany who anointed Jesus with costly perfume, an act of extravagant love and devotion. Judas’s choice reveals how greed, disillusionment, and small compromises of the heart can lead to profound unfaithfulness. Today ends the official Lenten period; tomorrow we enter into the Sacred Triduum of the three great liturgical days of the Church’s year of grace: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

No other apostle arouses as much sympathy as Peter...He seems very close to each of us in his conflicts and emotions, his strength and his weaknesses, his resolve to be heroic and his disastrous failure to live up to his aspiration. At one moment he is humble, at another proud. He affirms his fidelity to his Lord, then denies. Our Lord warned both Peter and Judas that they would fall. Peter rejected the warning. Though others might deny the Master, he asserted with bravado that he never would. Judas was similarly warned. Both Peter and Judas carried out the betrayals which Christ had foretold. Peter fell when challenged by a maid-servant during the night of Christ's trial. Judas performed the nefarious deed in the Garden when he delivered Our Lord to the soldiers. Our Lord made a positive effort to save both from their own weakness. He gave Peter a look...He addressed Judas as 'friend' and accepted his kiss. Both Peter and Judas repented, though in a crucially different sense. Why is one at the head of the list and the other at the bottom? Because Peter repented unto the Lord and Judas unto himself. The difference was as vast as that between Divine reference and self reference; as the difference between the cross and the psychoanalytic couch. Judas recognized that he had betrayed 'innocent blood,' but he never wanted to be washed clean in it. Peter knew he had sinned and sought Redemption. Judas made a mistake and sought release. It is a paradox that we begin to be good only when we know we are evil. Judas had self-disgust which is a form of pride; Peter had not a regrettable experience, but a metanoia, a change of heart. The conversion of the mind is not necessarily the conversion of the will. And the tragedy is that he might have been Judas. (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)
