THE CHURCH FATHER WHO WROTE THIS IN 107 AD AND IT SILENCES EVERY PROTESTANT ARGUMENT St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions. On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote: “Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2) This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper. He also wrote: “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.” Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession. 107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages. The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius. He wrote this on the way to die for it. Who will share this?

My wife was just threatened, almost spit on, and called a bitch right outside our home while holding our 6 month old here in Santa Monica. By a homeless man always walking our neighborhood. So you see, I really don't have a choice but to run for office. Help isn't coming.

@simpleorganix Possums don't eat ticks.

They unleashed ticks this year like never before…. You know what eats over a 100 ticks a day? CHICKENS & Opossums. You know what ticks hate?? My tix mix: Black seed oil, thyme, cinnamon, Lemon Eucalyptus, vanilla extract, catnip, Alaskan cypress, cedar oil, citronella, sage & rosemary essential oils. Mix & spray. Not only do they avoid you, but this slows them down & kills them when sprayed directly. Both Lyme & none Lyme carriers. You know what else ticks hate? A well sun, well sweated Human with b vitamin & mineral richness in the brain & blood barriers. They are attracted to vitamin b12, zinc & magnesium deficiencies. Vegans, you’re fukd. They also hate when they sense black walnut & wormwood in our system. Take tinctures before & after heavily wooded areas. Yucca root, purslane & bacopa also target what tick bites leave behind, saponins drawing out the potential of higher stage Lyme.

@young_maymay @josegmeraz Wrong, LA is exceptionally bad.

@josegmeraz Homeless has increased across the country since Covid, higher in higher populations areas. LA is not immune

These tent cities have been in LA since the 90’s, for 30 years. Spencer Pratt ain’t getting rid of them

**In Chicago, Black residents (≈29% of the population) account for roughly 75-80% of shooting/homicide victims in recent years (2024-2025 data from CPD, UChicago Crime Lab, Illinois Policy Institute). Hispanics ≈15-20%, Whites low single digits.** Perpetrator race in cleared cases follows a very similar pattern—most gun violence is intra-racial and concentrated in specific neighborhoods. Officer-involved shootings (right map) are a tiny fraction of the total.

@AnnieJacobsen You probably voted for it.

Ouch. Gas is $6.79 a gallon in California today.

Thailand has replaced its 60-day visa with a 15-day visa and the person in the video is now questioning the impact of fewer Indian tourists. In effect, the Thai government appears to be cracking down on crime linked to some foreigners on extended 69d stays.

POV: You’re charging your new Ferrari Luce

@Ieeveeyou @Julie_Butcher @Sierra_rak Disagree.

@Julie_Butcher @Sierra_rak Most people I’ve worked with over the years have had a beer belly or something, and many of them were great at their job.

Omg Korea is soooo savage. My friend failed her job interview in Korea and she said it's because she was overweight... apparently, the interviewer said "if you can't even manage your fat, how will you manage a job?" WTHHHHH Do they really say those things straight up to the job applicants?

Next time I’ll do 2 miles

This is gold 😂👌

这段马斯克 2003 年在斯坦福的 45 分钟闭门演讲，真的有点东西。 不是那种空话连篇的创业鸡汤。 而是他亲自把“怎么从 0 搞出一家公司”一层层拆给你看。 更狠的是， 他没在讲概念，直接把自己当时手里那三家公司，到底怎么活下来的，整个过程都摊开了。 这种内容放到今天看都不过时。 很多人听完的反应都很统一： 这 45 分钟，顶得上你翻十本创业书。 那种真正能用的干货，往往就藏在这种老素材里，不吵不闹，但句句都是实战。

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. Why Starry Night was so famous: bit.ly/49VNzyl

@Stellaaa Alameda

If you’re in California & not a Democrat, hit me up I want to follow you

Hi! I'm David Ganezer, and I'm running for Congress in San Francisco as the only Republican in a field of 11 candidates. Nancy Pelosi’s seat. In one of the most reliably blue districts in the country, it’s an uphill battle — but that’s exactly why I’m in it. I’m fighting to give voters a real choice and bring common-sense representation to Washington. I just followed you and would be incredibly grateful if you’d retweet this and help amplify my message. Every share makes a difference. Thank you! 🇺🇸

They knew what they were doing when they split the part and ushered in Wilson and the central banks.

@toriaann21 @Tironianae @grok Not breaking. Over a year old.

@Tironianae @grok when was this show aired on news nation?

BREAKING 🚨 WH Deputy Press Secretary Fields says Americans will be “shocked” by the JFK files. Buckle up—80,000 pages are set for release. It’s time to release everything!

@Tironianae @baksh2020 From the JFK Dallas tour site! “Allegedly”

@agsonsol That voice doesn't sound real.

This man was just diagnosed with Alpha-Gal Syndrome. He never thought a single tick bite could permanently change the way he eats and lives.
