EXCITING OFFER!! Follow me on X and I'll pray for you. 😁🙏🏼 Here's the dope. I'm at home most of the time due to a chronic illness that leaves me in varying degrees of exhaustion and immense pain 24/7. I also struggle with co-morbidities such as anxiety, frequent migraines, stomach troubles, numbness and tingling, and brain fog. There are days when I can barely walk or stand. I'm sharing this because my primary X account was suspended after being hacked and I haven't been able to get it back. I don't use other social media, for many years relying on Twitter/X as my only vehicle for interacting with others online and for getting my news fix. I used to have over 13k followers, and at one time I was even eligible for subscriptions, but I stupidly didn't follow through with the application. I know that 13k isn't much at all, but it meant something to me. Since the suspension I've been trying to rebuild from scratch with a backup account I didn't even remember making when I discovered it in May (remember that brain fog thing?). The thing is, the current algorithms are sure making it difficult to grow a small account! I simply don't want to make my own videos. For me, Twitter was the best platform for....yeah, I'm going to say it....more intellectually inclined folks to engage in snappy commentary and exchanges on politics, social issues, and faith. (Admittedly, I suck at being snappy, enjoying the shift to long form posts a wee bit too much.) I do sense that it's a bit pathetic to care about followers on a social media platform, but since X used to be such a great tool for helping me still feel connected to the world in light of my host of health problems, it's frustrating and disheartening to have lost that. Hence, if you used to follow me and you happen to see this post, I'd be most grateful if you considered doing so again. And yes, I really will pray for you.🙏🏼

Catholic Fun Fact: Legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne was raised Lutheran but converted to Roman Catholicism on November 20, 1925. He was baptized by the Reverend Vincent Mooney, C.S.C., in the Log Chapel on the University of Notre Dame campus. Rockne was profoundly changed by observing his players' faith. While traveling for away games, he noticed them waking up early and sacrificing sleep to attend Mass and receive Holy Communion. In his essay "Crossing The Goal Line," Rockne noted that joining his players at Mass helped him understand how their deep religious devotion served as a "powerful ally" to their character and performance on the field. His wife, Bonnie Gwendoline Skiles, was Catholic, and his four children were raised in the Catholic faith. His conversion allowed him to join his family at the communion rail. During an era marked by intense anti-Catholic sentiment and Ku Klux Klan activity in Indiana, Rockne’s public conversion gave American Catholics a powerful national symbol of belonging and pride. When Rockne tragically died at age 43 in a 1931 airplane crash in Kansas, rescuers recovered his body clutching his rosary in his hands.

@idahopov12 @JoshuaTCharles @RealMattFradd 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@JoshuaTCharles @AJalsevac @RealMattFradd Thank you for posting this, Joshua. Thank you. Dr. Kreeft’s observation is true. I pray for my wife’s soul every day now, and l loved her more each day then, right up to the day she died. Memento mori.

I found this bit today between @RealMattFradd and Peter Kreeft profoundly moving (Kreeft’s wife of 60+ years recently died). It’s no wonder marriage is a type of Christ and His Church. If we love His Catholic Church only if Her body is beautiful, we are not truly loving Her.

@TPostMillennial @redsteeze If ever there was a woman who needed God.

Elliot Page claims “In terms of looking at nature as if it’s some sort of cis hetero patriarchal structure is absurd, and that this gender binary that we’ve created is nothing but a quaint little myth.”

@CinemaShogun Psychopath she is.

I watched Candace Owens today so you don’t have to. She starts the show complaining about Benny Johnson and Brandon Tatum being invited to the preliminary hearing. Attempts to make a conspiracy out of people using the word “overwhelming” while talking about the evidence against Tyler Robinson. Rambles on about the evidence released during the preliminary hearing as if it’s nothing. Says she never denied that the gun was Tyler’s she only denied the gun was used. Says Lance Twiggs is a fed asset. Says Lance gathered Tylers items to set him up. Says Lance was probably blackmailed because he’s into dark web stuff. Says all the evidence relies on Lance. Says feds intentionally flooded the zone with decoys called the maroon boys. Says Tyler was never on campus. Says it should be easy for people to debunk her. (It is and we do every day) Basically says all of the footage of Tyler on UVU campus aren’t him just some brunette male that looks like him while showing clips. Plays clip of Lance’s interview played in court. Says the car shown in the security footage isn’t Tyler’s car. Suggests that someone could’ve rented that car and drove it around pretending to be Tyler Robinson. Says a witness saw a bald guy driving the car. Reads messages between Tyler and Lance. Asks for tips if anyone knows when K-9 units arrived. Talks about Lance DNA being on the evidence. Plays clip of Lance saying he never heard Tyler talk about Charlie Kirk or LGBTQ issues. Says the forensic biologists testimony was devastating to the prosecution. Plays clips and tries to give a science lesson to her audience using her merch cup as if she’s an expert on DNA. Downplays Tyler’s DNA being found on the evidence while making a big deal out of Lance’s DNA being found. Says Lance worked with feds to plant Tyler’s gun. Plays clip of Benny Johnson talking about what he saw in court. Says influencers lied about video of Tyler taking shot. Says she has an issue with Benny now. Says she’s not going to watch everyone turn their backs on Charlie for money. (What she’s doing right now) Says she’s rested and ready for war now and that no one will like what’s coming next. Says Ben Shapiro has been acting weird. Says she always felt Ben was a part of this. Says she feels like Daily Wire is involved in Charlie’s murder. Says Ben made a shocking admission about his security team getting updates from Charlie’s security team. Says you have to be a conspiracy theorist to make this (perfectly normal thing) make sense. Pulls up homemade graphic of who was in the car transporting Charlie to hospital. Continues rambling about Ben’s security getting updates from Charlie’s security. Says she always felt in her gut that Israel killed Charlie and she thinks Ben Shapiro is an obsessed stalker with a dark history. Says Ben feels dangerous and he’s too close to this situation. Says influencers panicked about this and calls Tim Pool a liar. Puts out $10,000 bounty if anyone can find out who Ben Shapiro went to lunch with the day Charlie was killed. Suggests it was her that was supposed to be killed by Ben Shapiro and not Charlie. Questions if Charlie was killed because he refused to kill her. Says she’s going to find out more and tells her cult to not stop. Demands they stay focused on her fake investigation and asks them for more tips. Complains about people making fun of her dreams and her not knowing where thunder came from. Questions if Tyler will be taken out. Says someone might harm Erika and blame her. Ends show promoting merch. Overall today’s episode was mainly Candace trying to downplay evidence from preliminary hearing while trying to establish new conspiracies surrounding Lance Twiggs and Ben Shapiro. One $10,000 bounty to figure out who ate lunch with Ben Shapiro. One suggestion that Charlie was killed because he wouldn’t help kill her. Countless attempts to downplay actual evidence. Zero evidence shown. Complete waste of time.

Another version of Martin's story: "After suffering an illness at age twelve, Martin Pistorius fell into a coma. When he regained consciousness a few years later, he was unable to speak or move his limbs. Everyone thought he was still a vegetable. This nightmarish condition is known as total locked-in syndrome. Doctors said Martin should just be kept comfortable until he died. Every day his parents dropped him off at a day care, where the staff parked him in front of a television for hours to watch reruns of children’s cartoons. “I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney,” Martin says today, referring to a children’s TV show featuring a purple dinosaur, which he was forced to watch day in and day out. Worse, he was abused mentally, physically, and even sexually by various caregivers. Without a voice, he could not tell anyone about it. He even overheard his mother say, in a moment of extreme frustration, “I wish you would die.” But Martin’s father never gave up. Daily he washed and fed Martin, dressed him, and took him to the care center. His father’s persistence finally paid off. When Martin was twenty-five, an empathetic therapist noticed that he was able to make nearly imperceptible smiles and nods. She persuaded his parents to have him tested. To everyone’s shock, his brain was fully functioning. In the following years, he learned to use a computer to communicate, taught himself to read and write, graduated from college, trained as a web designer, and got married. In his book Ghost Boy, Martin says that all along he had a strong sense of God’s presence. Because his family never attended church, he knew nothing of Christian doctrine. “I had no idea why I felt His presence so strongly. . . .Yet somehow I instinctively knew that He was with me. . . . My faith didn’t waver. He was as present to me as air, as constant as breathing.” When Martin met the beautiful Christian woman who would later become his wife, he finally learned about the God whose presence he had sensed all his life." (From Love Thy Body)

Since no one else will tell you this, I will. Unlike the Quran or even the New Testament, the Talmud is not a rule book. The Talmud is not the bible and Jews do not look to the Talmud for guidance on life. The Talmud is a massive collection of debates between individuals. That’s all. So, first of all, those who say they read the Talmud are lying. It takes Jews who learn a page of Talmud every day seven years to complete it so no, those who maliciously quote the Talmud did not learn the Talmud in its entirety. Not even close. Second of all, quoting some obscure statement from the Talmud is both dishonest and dangerous. Yes, there are definitely some weird things in the Talmud, but again, it is totally hypothetical and not in any way instructional. Third of all, you have this massive collection of tractates that are debates between rabbis and Jewish scholars. That should tell you all you need to know about the diverse nature of Judaism. Presenting Judaism as if it’s one set of rules followed by all Jews is again, a blatant lie used to vilify Jews. So, no, Jews don’t think they are superior to other nations. No, the word “Goyim” is not derogatory. It simply means ‘Nations’. And no, none of the strange things mentioned in the Talmud about slavery, sex, marriage, or other things are applicable or relevant for modern life. Judaism is a religion that doesn’t look to convert others as opposed to the other major religions. Jews don’t think they’re better than anyone else. “The chosen people” doesn’t mean we think we’re better. It means we take on more responsibility and try to be a light unto the nations. So the next time someone tells you how evil the Jews are and they use the Talmud as evidence, ask them what tractates of the Talmud they’ve learned and whether the Talmud is a legal framework or a theoretical one. Watch how they stutter and fumble their words. See this image? That is the Talmud.

Here is what happens in a Christian march in Britain. This won't end well.

@HilzFuld 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yes, that is the mourner’s kadish being recited for Senator Graham on Israeli TV. Unbelievable!

Amnesty has designated Catholics a hate group. In the light of Ann Widdecombe's murder, this is particularly disturbing.

@nikitabier @elonmusk Thank goodness.

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

This whole, Ann's family have called for people to not make this political. Who are Ann's family? Mum and dad long gone. Brother died in 2010. Doesn't have kids. Her nephew, Roger, stood next to Nigel when he made his statement. So who are the "family" they're talking about?

The issuer of that vile statement is a man, as anyone with even 1% vision could tell you. Specifically, he’s a man who said he hoped she died handcuffed to a bed and screaming in agony.

I was born in Canada but lived in England most of my life. I took a job in Toronto in 2018 eager to reconnect with my Canadian side. Thing is, I still don't feel attached to Canadian culture. I'm not even sure what that even is. The question is, if I, as an anglo Westerner, hasn't managed to find cultural connection in 8 years, what chance do non Western immigrants have? Canada... I genuinely want to see you thrive. Surely first you need to know who you are.

ERIKA KIRK: "So you have the internet coming after you. You have them slandering your name. You have them saying all this trash about you. And what do you do? You wake up that next morning. You put on the armor of God and you keep going!" Amen, Erika. Amen

Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

It’s so easy to get cynical right now. I try so hard not to be, and often fail. It’s one of the things I admire most about Charlie Kirk. He had such a talent at remaining optimistic and calm.

I tell this to my son repeatedly.
