@LigmaOrBust @JoelWBerry Yeah I read a few of his books

@CDBreeler @JoelWBerry I was a long time listener and even supported financially at one point. Hard to see it.

Tucker’s latest guest: “Capitalism shouldn’t be anywhere near Christianity. Christianity is socialism at its core.” Tucker agrees

@LigmaOrBust @JoelWBerry Very sad what happened to Tom.

@JoelWBerry You were right, Tom was wrong

@BevNVR @LogicApplied2It @OliLondonTV You are in disagreement with the unanimous opinions of the first 1500 years of Christianity, including all the ecumenical councils, and even of Martin Luther.

@LogicApplied2It @OliLondonTV If you pray to something, you are worshipping it!!

Devout Christian Gwen Stefani celebrates Easter by placing daffodils in front of statue of Mary and baby Jesus. ✝️

@BevNVR @OliLondonTV I think you know that Catholics don’t worship the Virgin Mary, which means you are a liar and a calumniator.

@OliLondonTV You mean "devout Catholic" not Christian!! There is a big difference. Christians don't worship Mary.

@exanxc You have opened a meme mine richer than our wildest dreams.

There's a Korean action comedy-drama called "The Fiery Priest". It's about a Catholic priest with an uncontrollable temper who fights criminals. It's the highest-rated miniseries drama that aired on public Korean television in 2019. Highly recommended.

@Arrogance_0024 I realize for a lot of Euros this is half of your Air Force but we have a lot more.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@BaldwinIVofJer This is true, but there is another complimentary phenomenon that is only just beginning as the priests begin to preach the faith again: Joe pew-warmer is coming to believe. This is in its infancy but I’m seeing signs.

In my latest Substack article, I examine the phenomenon we’ve seen playing out over the last few days. magistertertius.substack.com/p/whats-with-a…

Nixon froze wages and prices on August 15, 1971 -- then watched the economy implode for the next decade. You can draw a straight line from that Sunday night TV announcement to the 13% inflation of 1979. Price controls create shortages. Always. Nixon's 90-day freeze became Phase II controls that lasted until 1974. Companies stopped investing because they couldn't price their products rationally. Workers got hammered as real wages collapsed (their paychecks stayed frozen while black market prices soared). The moment Nixon lifted controls in 1974, suppressed inflation exploded upward like a shaken champagne bottle. We got the worst of everything -- unemployment AND inflation -- because the price system had been destroyed for three years. Fed Chair Arthur Burns kept printing money to "support" the frozen economy, guaranteeing the disaster that followed.

@CommonSenseTodd @WallStreetApes @GuntherEagleman Did you try a bakery?

@WallStreetApes @GuntherEagleman In America I literally cannot find bread without sugar and chemicals in it. Bread should have 3 ingredients. I literally can’t find just bread.

Man makes a visual demonstration of how American bread is actually made Many Americans know our bread is toxic by now but they don’t really understand what the process of making it actually looks like and how bad it really is This is eye opening

@NetworkDirecto1 @WallStreetApes You have to go to a bakery.

@WallStreetApes What kind of bread should I buy at the grocery store to avoid this? Like what common brands are good? I have nature's own butter bread currently

@BombulusMaximus @holysmoke Same

@holysmoke I'm with you here. I started with "benefit of the doubt," and am steadily moving towards a sense of holy delight.

The powerful witness and quiet charisma of Leo XIV makes me wonder if – despite my misgivings about points of detail – he could emerge as one of our great popes.

@fumio_takano @andy_ngi3 Congratulations! Welcome and God bless!

今日、東京都内のカトリック教会の復活徹夜祭にて受洗し、カトリーヌ・ラブレの霊名をいただきました。全世界の兄弟姉妹の皆様、よろしくお願いいたします。

The tariffs are impacting more than just manufacturing, and the blue-collar job loss has been notable across sectors compared to trend growth. If you use different trendlines in any specific sector it looks better no doubt, but the overall difference is striking.

@jasonfurman @mikekofoed 1910 tweet incoming

In sum, tariffs have not worked for American workers. The sooner we replace them with a better way of raising revenue the better. But we also need to overcome our nostalgia for one particular sector and instead push economic policies for broad-based prosperity.

My @nytopinion piece discusses the failures of Trump's strategy to create manufacturing jobs--but puts it in the broader context of the previous failures to achieve this goal and why it isn't the right goal to start with.

@bankertobuilder Is that LVT on the path up to the house?

This old home needed a refresh We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel So proud of my team

@PhilWMagness Just think how many trillionaires we will have if inflation goes up another 1000%

Because it is a terrible policy, and because communists are greedy for other people's wealth.

GLP-1 drugs are the ultimate validation of the techno-solutionist approach to society's most challenging problems. The obesity crisis seemed liked it would just get worse and worse forever. Scolding from public health officials didn't work. Proposals to completely overhaul our food systems were dead on arrival. Instead, we invented a weekly shot (based on Gila monster venom!) that fixes obesity directly. And now, thanks to the economic incentives in our biomedical industry, we have follow-on drugs that will be cheaper, even more effective, and easier to administer (by taking a pill instead of a shot). Policymakers should be focused on figuring out how we can get more breakthrough drugs like GLP-1s (and faster). They also should think hard about which slopulist ideas might inadvertently kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I fucking love not starving to death waiting in line for bread! It's the fucking best!

@DrCamiloOrtiz Or drugs or credit cards.

Most people seem to understand that if the government made the retail price of apples 1 cent, people would want more apples and farmers would stop growing apples since they can’t make a profit on 1 cent apples. People seem to have trouble understanding the same principle when it comes to price controls on rent.

@Joeinblack @reginamrc6 We should never use acronyms.

Every time an announcement is made inviting people to “join OCIA” instead of “Classes to become Catholic” or “Catholic class”, an angel loses their wings.
