There's not much left to even be disappointed in. These are Trump's broken promises: 1. Drain the swamp - Handed power to billionaires, donors, and lobbyists. Foreign governments buying influence through Trump properties. Lobbyists placed in charge of the agencies they used to lobby against. The swamp got privatized, not drained. 2. H-1B visas - Flipped and called the program "great" to protect Musk, Peter Thiel, and all of Silicon Valley who bankrolled his campaign and wanted cheap foreign tech labor kept flowing. 3. Epstein files - Promised full release, buried them after his name appeared. 4. Promised no Medicaid/Medicare cuts - then signed $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. 5. Lock her up / prosecute political enemies - Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Lisa Page, Schiff, Fauci, Wray, Swalwell, Zuckerberg - none of them touched. 6. IVF protection - Made the promise, produced nothing. 7. Reduce national debt - Adding $3 trillion instead. 8. DOGE $1 trillion in savings - Federal spending actually went up. 9. Ukraine peace in 24 hours - Still no deal and still sending money. 10. JFK/RFK files - Released heavily redacted versions, not full disclosure. 11. End the income tax / replace with tariffs - Quietly dropped. 12. Tariff policy - Constant flip-flopping crashed markets and destroyed business confidence. 13. Ghislaine Maxwell - Promised accountability, doing her favors instead. 14. Good deals for farmers - Tariff war is crushing agriculture. Trump was supposed to break the cycle of controlled opposition politicians who know exactly what language to use to win votes and then govern for the donor class but even he ended up serving the same interests on the things that actually mattered.

@ChilloutVille @Pontifex Debunked silly

@Pontifex For over a century the Catholic Church ran Canada’s residential schools, tearing Indigenous children from their parents to “civilize” them. 4,000 died. They were dumped in unmarked graves. The poor weren’t neglected by the Church, they were its raw material.

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

@benjamincowen 💯

Crypto was better before governments got involved.

@KeithDiamond994 @BishopBarron Paul was unmarried. So was Christ. By your reading neither would qualify as bishop. The Greek phrase means "a one woman man," prohibiting polygamy for those who are married. Your interpretation has been rejected by every serious Protestant scholar including Calvin himself.

YOU ARE NOT A BISHOP OF ANYTHING. None of the Bishops in the Church of Satan qualify. Bishops in CHRIST'S CHURCH MUST BE MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN. You are a FRAUD. 1 Timothy 3:1-5King James Version 1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) ^^^^^^^^THESE ARE NOT "SUGGESTIONS" REPROBATE! They are REQUIREMENTS.

Friends, Christians are not called to retreat into privacy.  Now more than ever, we must assert ourselves in the public square with confidence and with panache: fxn.ws/4dt6eU0

@JoshuaBarzon 2. Sitting next to Fr Robinson and Gavin discussing theology would make my day, my week!

Where would you sit?

@MissusTruth @vancemurphy @benshapiro Do you have sons or young brothers who you would send off to fight in the middle east? Serious question.

@vancemurphy @benshapiro Y’all went so extreme, I support our alliance with Israel and like Ben Shapiro. God Bless him!

On the show today: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes and the rest of the New Left remove the mask; Vivek Ramaswamy swamps his own New Left contender in the Ohio gubernatorial primary; and a California gubernatorial debate shows just how screwed the state may be. open.spotify.com/episode/50Fx6f…

@pureMetatron Well my son in laws don't seem to mind their wives gaming. I taught them well.

Yes. Always have. What about you guys?

@nowthisimpact Oof

MAGA isn't taking it well.

@pureMetatron We'll get through it. The hippy popes and cardinals are aging out.

The Catholic church used to be publicly and strongly against communism. What changed?

@slxthkween @Asmongold @LizzieMarbach Ah, now that explains it :-)

@CoffCrypto @Asmongold @LizzieMarbach My parents are boomers so there’s that lol

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@tanpukunokami They don't care. The point isn't to fit in. It's to outlast you. Constantinople held the line from 674 to 1453. Seven hundred and seventy-nine years. Multiple sieges. Multiple generations. They were patient.

To my Muslim friends, I hear some of you want to live in Japan. Let me be honest with you. More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth. Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract. Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals, New Year means a visit to a shrine. When someone dies, we cremate them. And refusing a drink? That’s not really part of our culture — here, people pour one for you. This isn’t hostility. It’s just 1,500 years of daily life. And we have no plans to change it. Before you come to a place that doesn’t fit you, please — think it through carefully. For your sake, and ours.

We gen Xers have been playing video games since the late 70s, and as teens we were at the arcades at the mall. In the 90s we were playing Nintendo/PS with our kids but yes I agree it was not all the time, and certainly not the man of the house going off in a room to play alone. That's just weird.

@Asmongold @LizzieMarbach I disagree I think the lack of attraction towards gaming as a hobby stems from our fathers. Our fathers did more “manly” things in their free time. Video games weren’t a thing for them so we aren’t used to it. That’s all

Apparently you find it difficult to understand that her point was about escapism and checking out of relationships. Gaming with your son has literally nothing to do with her tweet. Instead you chose to comment on a woman's appearance which does not reflect well on you as a father. 👏

@Asmongold @LizzieMarbach 🤣🤣 DEAD ASS FACTS.. My wife loves it that I take time out of my day to play video games with my son and thinks it's sexy I have the patience to try and teach her how to play. Move along Mollie plainface mcgillicutty. Even your cats probably hate you.

I love video games, been playing since the 80s. My husband raced, fished and worked on cars, still does the latter two. Men who stay physically engaged with the real world, with hobbies that involve skill, problem solving and presence, are more attractive and more mentally healthy. Research backs this up. Gaming has cognitive benefits in moderation but when it becomes the primary activity it is avoidance, the same as checking out in front of sports all day.

The proof is in the results. Individual interpretation of Scripture has produced over 40,000 Protestant denominations, each convinced they alone read it correctly. That is not the Holy Spirit producing unity. That is human pride producing chaos. Christ prayed that we would be one. Sola scriptura has produced the opposite.

Protestantism's deepest assumption is that Christianity went wrong almost immediately and stayed wrong for 1,500 years. That's not a small claim. It's the entire premise of the movement.

I get why Pope Leo's defense of the Iranian regime makes you furious. You lived it firsthand as an ex-Muslim but switching to Orthodoxy won't solve it. GOA leans more modernist and left-leaning at the top levels, with clear examples like the archbishop baptizing kids for a gay couple. The human mess and drama follow people in both churches. No magic fix.

An an Iranian ex-Muslim who just joined OCIA last month, the Pope's repeated effective defense of the brutal Islamic regime forced me to quit as I've lost all respect for Leo and for his judgement, and can't in good conscious follow his lead. The last Catholic mass I attended was yesterday. I will be going to a Greek Orthodox Church next Sunday. I don't need a political Church, and I certainly don't need Pope Leo's naive understanding of what goes on inside Iran, when I've experienced it first hand. Pope Leo is taking the side of a brutal regime that persecutes Christians, executes Christian converts and anyone who dares preach Christianity, kills thousands of unarmed civilians who dare to protest every few years (and it gets worse every year), bans building new churches and even does not allow maintenance and renovations on existing churches, etc. The Catholic Church's stance on this issue is nothing but suicidal empathy. You will never find friends and allies in folks who reject the Bible, reject Trinity and divinity of Christ, even reject the fact that Christ was crucified. What business the "Vicar of Christ" can possibly have to appease these people, is beyond me. I'll still follow you and watch your content, but I am done with Catholic Church for good. And I'm not the only Iranian ex-Muslim who feels this way.

There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace. The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities. The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

That $5 billion is largely historical settlements finally reaching court, not ongoing abuse at the same rate. New cases dropped dramatically after 2002 reforms. The John Jay Report found 4% of Catholic clergy had allegations. A 2004 US Department of Education study found 9.6% of students experience educator sexual misconduct. Stop singling out Catholics when this exists across every institution where adults work with children.

Pope Leo XIV is polling as the most popular public figure in the United States, with a net favorability rating of +34. Follow: @AFpost

man fuck you

@BreannaMorello Dude writes like his emotional growth got stuck in middle school.

🚨JUST POSTED🚨 President Donald Trump takes another jab at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. Trump attacks Jones after filing for bankruptcy. Problem is, Jones is a lawfare victim like Trump. Trump had an arsenal of financial resources to fend the Deep State off. Alex has been trying for years now with the financial support of just his audience. This administration has shut down the investigation into the well-orchestrated attack on Jones.

@Emahlaseni @EndWokeness They didn't even know how to irrigate lol.

@EndWokeness South Africans will go back to producing their own food like they did before white people got here.

South Africa is going to regret driving out its white population, which is producing: 95.3% of their corn 98.7 % of their wheat 97.6 % of their cotton 97.2 % of their citrus 99% of their potatoes 91.4% of their tomatoes 96.9% of their soybean 95.8% of their poultry 66% of their cattle 89% of their wool
