Sundays and Solemnities excepted, I will be taking a pause from social media during Lent. See you on the other side.

Nevertheless, she persisted to endorse a rape apologist with a Nazi tattoo

@JonahDispatch Napping IS the mission!

“Good morning. It’s Thursday. Stay focused on the mission. Or nap. Napping is also good. Also, I love you.”

When Pete Hegseth was going through is confirmation hearing, Elizabeth Warren wrote an entire letter about how his "Deus Vult" tattoo made him "a right wing extremist" unfit for service. She just endorsed the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Tucker Carlson's interview of Glenn Greenwald reminds me of when Glenn challenged me with similar lies. The biggest threat to free speech on campus are Palestinians who keep vandalizing property, disrupting lectures, and pitching homeless shelters in the middle of campus.

@Friarmelo Same. The reality is that when BE teams do well in the NCAA Tournament it makes the entire conference more attractive to players.

I will say this Not sure if other Friars fans feel the same Once Big East play is gone my beef with other teams in conference are gone Once the NCAA Tourny starts i do root for my fellow big east teams to make it far in the tournament Only makes our conference better

"Welcome to Fantasy Island!"

Now is a clarifying moment: If you defend democracies only when politically convenient, you’re not defending democracies. The left should back Israel. The right should back Ukraine. Both are fighting America’s enemies. At @FDD, we proudly stand with both.

@ThePCPostt @Friar_Baguette @CoachCooleyGTWN Might it have originated elsewhere? Like maybe Cathedral Square?

@Friar_Baguette @CoachCooleyGTWN Spot on !

Thank you to the Prior Provincial who ran Father Shanley out of town. #NOTafriar

If Americans had media that could do it‘s fucking job, we’ll be having a national conversation right now about how a Hezbollah splinter cell just tried to slaughter American children at a synagogue. And we would be standing as one regardless of party.

The operative word here being "crazy."

Tell me you're a US Senator who hates Donald Trump more than you love America:

I'm thinking there might be one of his Final Four teams they've left out here:

It’s insane that there’s a U.S. senator who gives public relations cover to Iran all day, every day. It’s actively un-American and detrimental, which is his intent. I don’t know how other Democrats tolerate this dangerous idiot, who stains them all with his treasonous rants.

Dr. Orli Peter, a clinical and neuropsychologist writes a letter to Ms. Rama Duwaji…. Dear Ms. Rama Duwaji, You publicly liked social media posts describing the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas as “collective liberation.” You also placed a heart next to an Instagram post claiming that the reports of mass rapes on Oct. 7 were a “hoax.” For the past two and a half years, I have been treating survivors of October 7, helping them slowly rebuild shattered lives and broken nervous systems. Some were suicidal. Others could barely speak. Some of the people sitting across from me in therapy had witnessed rapes and executions so brutal that their nervous systems simply shut down. Words stopped working. These people did not simply survive war. They survived mass and socially sanctioned sadism. Subsequent investigations by journalists, forensic teams and international bodies documented widespread sexual violence that day. Families were burned alive. Festival goers hunted down, raped and then executed. Hamas terrorists documented much of the violence themselves: one attacker used a victim’s phone to call his parents and brag that he had killed 10 Jews with his own hands; and you surely saw the footage of Shani Louk, whose body Hamas fighters paraded through Gaza in the back of a truck while crowds spat and celebrated. Survivors of the Nova festival have also described militants laughing as they hunted festivalgoers hiding in the fields. These were not acts carried out in secrecy. They were recorded, boasted about and, in some cases, carried out with visible pleasure. These were not only acts of murder. They were staged performances of cruelty. This was not violence used as a means to an end. It was violence relished for its own sake. That is the socially sanctioned mass sadism my patients are still haunted by, superimposed on everything they see. Once that sadism becomes undeniable, the narrative has a problem. Mass murder can still be reframed as resistance. Rape cannot. It exposes the cruelty too clearly, so it has to be denied. That denial carries consequences not only for the survivors I treat but for Palestinians as well. Refusing to confront the mass sadism of Oct. 7 keeps Palestinians trapped under the same violent movement that terrorizes them. Hamas has long brutalized its own population. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented torture, arbitrary detention, and killings of Palestinians accused of dissent or collaboration, and journalists have reported Hamas beating and arresting Gazans who protest its rule. This is what authoritarian movements do. Cruelty outward. Repression inward. As New York City’s first lady, you are in a public position to inspire a movement for Palestinian rights and safety. The survivors I treat are still trying to rebuild their lives after what they witnessed. Palestinians deserve to be free from the same sadistic movement that terrorizes them as well. Public gestures matter. When someone in a position of influence treats atrocity as liberation, the signal travels far beyond a social media post. The evidence is clear. Admit that you were wrong and withdraw your support for the lie. Some of us spend our days helping survivors rebuild the lives that Hamas shattered. The least the rest of the world can do is stop sanitizing mass sadism and tell the truth about what was done to the victims of Hamas’ cruelty.

Hey Lead. Let me introduce you to RI. We are 1/38th of the combined sq. miles of NH and ME and have well under 1/2 the combined population, but our state budget that is nearly equal to yours combined. Have a nice day.

Things you aren't supposed to talk about in Minneapolis: - George Floyd square is now a run-down crime-infested, ugly area - Ilhan Omar is worth about $20 million - There are big Somali gangs - Tim Walz was forced to not run again for governor by his own party - The biggest paper, the StarTribune, moved its printing operations from high-cost MN to lower-cost red-state Iowa to save money - School test scores are falling and half the kids can't read - The Dems want illegal immigrants so they don't lose a Congressional seat, and for political power - Less police means more crime (and much of the crime here is never reported), Defund the Police was a huge failure - The DA here lets violent thugs free who then go on to kill people - Gun crimes are not prosecuted hard here - The trans shooter who shot up the Catholic school wrote in his diary "weed and gender fucked up my mind." - Local homeless shelters are often major places where crime comes from - The bus shelters run by MetroTransit are often drug dens - The Target Store on Nicollet mall is the nr. 1 Target store for theft in the US - Auto theft is up 40% compared to 2025
