I'm thinking that for 2026, the USA's contribution to Peter's Pence is going to be a jar full of pennies and a free year's subscription to The Atlantic. IYKYK

@nosoup4knowles @Villgecrazylady The other must only promote what she does for money if she assumes that is what everyone else is doing

@Villgecrazylady Amazingly, some people just say what they believe.

Sure hope those shekels were worth it 👍🏻

Coachella was born because Pearl Jam boycotted Ticketmaster in 1993. They played a concert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio to prove you could put on a show without the monopoly. That concert proved the desert site could handle a massive crowd. Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen of Goldenvoice took note, and launched Coachella at the same venue in October 1999. Tickets were $50 a day. It nearly destroyed the company. Goldenvoice lost $850,000 on the first festival. Headliners like Rage Against the Machine and Beck agreed to defer their pay so the company could survive. By 2001, Tollett was so broke he sold Goldenvoice to AEG for $7 million. AEG. The company that owns Crypto.com Arena, The O2, and operates as the other half of the concert industry duopoly alongside Live Nation/Ticketmaster. The anti-Ticketmaster festival sold itself to the Ticketmaster economy for $7 million. Today Coachella generates roughly $160 million in ticket revenue alone. American Express pays $5 million a year just for branding. Dorsia sells main-stage suites starting at $70,000 per weekend. Villas near the grounds rent for $150,000. Justin Bieber is making $10 million for two Saturday night sets. In 1999, the headliners agreed to get paid later because the festival couldn't afford them at all. Tollett sold for $7 million. The festival now grosses that in about 11 hours of ticket sales. Pearl Jam boycotted the machine. And accidentally built the venue for one.

If my Pastor started preaching Leftist ideologies that are antithetical to Scripure, I would leave that church. Why don't Catholics do the same?

@nosoup4knowles @ConceptualJames He does not deny God, he just doesn't believe in him.

Today the Internet has once again made me so happy to be an agnostic.

Wait until she hears what Obama did to the Little Sisters of the Poor.

@SavvyTamz_57 @JGrahamMac1 I would do coffee with you...

@JGrahamMac1 I’m not saying they can, but I’m saying he is having communion with people who don’t believe in the same God as we do but I can’t take communion in a Catholic Church even though I do.

I as a Protestant couldn’t go to a Catholic Church and receive communion. Think about that. I believe in the Holy God of the bible, I believe in the triune God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but I would be denied communion with Catholics. But the pope is going to a mosque in Algiers and having communion with Muslims who do not believe in the triune God. They don’t believe Jesus is the son of God. They aren’t even an abrahamic religion. There’s absolutely no evidence that Abraham and Ishmael were ever in Mecca. I can’t wrap my head around this.

@SavvyTamz_57 He is not giving them Communion of the body of Christ.

@Pontifex Interesting that Lutherans such as myself are specifically anathematized under the Council of Trent for believing we are saved by faith in Christ alone but Algerian Muslims who forbid Christians from sharing that Gospel are in “communion” with Rome.

Just a classic pic of me with my doctor

It’s “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” for the “right” political operators.

This is an image of my cardiologist.

Wait wait hold on hear me out on this

So the pope is honoring Algerian Muslims who were fighting against French Catholics Did i get that right

All 47 churches affiliated with the Evangelical Protestant Church of Algeria (EPA) were shuttered. Over 50 Christians were prosecuted in the past year, and a Christian Facebook group with over 50,000 followers was shut down. USCIRF has persistently recommended Algeria for the State Department's Special Watch List due to systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, largely driven by the enforcement of blasphemy laws and the systematic closure of churches. Algeria ranks 20 with a score of 77/100, “very high” persecution, on this years Open Doors watchlist, with pressure rated “extremely high” on church life, national life, and community life for Christians.

Donor page for the Obama Foundation here where these numbers are crunched from. Notable that Open Society Foundation, which is active on the ground in Hungary & Poland, is listed as giving the Obama Foundation between $10 - $25 million too obama.org/about/fundrais…

The Obama Foundation got $112 million from Microsoft & its top luminaries (Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Reid Hoffman & Brad Smith). Microsoft stands to make billions of dollars in IT procurements from unfrozen EU funds & EU expansion after Orban & PiS are gone from Hungary/Poland
