Emily's Female Saints Fest An almost-daily series exploring the women of Scripture and the Church — not as background figures, but as witnesses, thinkers, and survivors. Because faith has always had a female voice. The same faith shapes how I think about women and politics now.

✨ Emily’s Female Saints Fest — Easter +30 Mary Magdalene She already saw Him. That’s what makes this different. She went to the tomb. She wept. She heard her name. “Mary.” She turned. She recognised Him. She was sent to tell the others. Resurrection happened. So why is she still here? Why hasn’t everything changed yet? Because this is the part no one talks about. The space after. The moment where death has been undone, truth has been revealed, everything is different …and yet— the world keeps going as if nothing has happened. She doesn’t leave. She doesn’t move on. She stays. Not because she doesn’t believe—but because belief isn’t the end. She has seen the victory. Now she has to live inside it. No instructions. No timeline. No visible transformation of the world. Just this: waiting with knowledge. This is harder than the grief. Because grief has direction. This doesn’t. This is the quiet discipline of resurrection: to remain after the moment has passed and trust that what you saw was real enough to carry forward. Before Ascension, before clarity, before everything makes sense—she stays.

I prayed for over a year. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Quietly. As a Catholic father, I watched my son date someone who did not believe in God. I loved him. I supported him. But inside, I was struggling. I had raised my children in the faith, and I wondered if I had failed. So I did what Catholic parents have done for centuries. I prayed. I offered Mass. I asked Our Lady every day to guide my son and bring someone into his life who would share his faith. Last year, that relationship ended. It hurt him. And it hurt me to see him sad. But I trusted that God was working. Then he met a young Filipino woman on campus. She had been away from the Catholic faith for many years. Then she started going to Mass with him. Then she joined our family Rosary on Sunday evenings. She had never prayed the Rosary before. Tomorrow, she receives Confirmation. My oldest son will be her sponsor. And she will receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. This is what grace does. It moves quietly. It works through prayer. It heals what we cannot control. Parents, keep praying. Our Lady is listening. 🌹

For those people saying, “If @MrsErikaKirk were truly grieving, she would’ve taken a year off for her kids and therapy”: Coretta Scott King led a march in Memphis DAYS after MLK’s assassination and kept fighting for civil rights for decades. Myrlie Evers-Williams jumped right into activism after Medgar’s murder, raised their 3 kids, and later ran the NAACP. Ethel Kennedy raised 11 children while pushing the Kennedy family’s political and social causes. Betty Shabazz, who was there when Malcolm X was killed, raised their 6 daughters, got her doctorate, became a prominent activist, and spent her life protecting his legacy. Elisabeth Elliot stayed in the jungle with the tribe that murdered her husband and kept doing missionary work. Some women are just built different. They throw themselves into their husband’s cause instead of falling apart. It’s called “immersion” and is common in grief. You might not like it, but you don’t matter. That woman will protect and continue her husband’s legacy, no matter how awful you people are.

@ESantanberg @KarolineGosling Satanberg. Thats a taken name huh?

Christ is King. I may say a lot of things, but this is the most important message on my profile. Feminism is evil, yes. Christ is the answer. Feminism is not compatible with Christianity or Christ. So with that: Happy Sunday to all my anti-feminist friends and family on here ❤️☦️✝️

@MoeLester354552 @KarolineGosling Oh sorry didn't realise we're talking about your life story

@ESantanberg @KarolineGosling Yes even tho she cucked her husband with 3 kids she promised the 4th one would be really his.

@MoeLester354552 @KarolineGosling You haven't read your Bible. He told the men look at their own sin first before judging others. But he didn't let the woman of the hook. He specifically told her not to sin again.

@ESantanberg @KarolineGosling Jesus was indeed

@nicksortor You do know that the US is the only member of Nato whose actually invoked Article 5 of Nato Treaty? you know, the one that says an attack against one member is an attack against all?

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the US will be withdrawing "A LOT" more troops from Germany than the 5,000 announced yesterday FINALLY. Bring our troops home! We don't need NATO — NATO needs US! "We're going to cut WAY down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000" 🇺🇸

WHEN ISLAM ATTACKS THE WOMAN AND NOT THE ARGUMENT. When I defend the Iranian freedom struggle - certain Muslims get personal. Not factual or argumentative. Personal. When I criticise Islam as a political law-religion - they go after the body. After the clothes. After the appearance. After what they believe gives them the right to discredit everything I say. Yesterday a Muslim woman named Keziban wrote the following under one of my Iran posts - and I quote precisely in her own words. “You seem to enjoy watching someone being executed. That says more about who you are as a person - and don’t go around calling yourself a Christian. You’ve gone from Muslim hater to porn star - more and more clothes are coming off you. So I’m a little curious - have you gone from political discussion to what you now call yourself.” It was a warm summer day on Friday. I was wearing clothes suited to the temperature. As in the picture. Let that sink in. A woman - from a culture that covers its women from the age of nine to protect men from their own impulses - calls me a porn star because I have bare skin on a summer day. And then come the two classic moves I see again and again from that type. The first: “You cannot call yourself a Christian.” They naturally know better than me what my relationship with God is. They know better than me what is happening in my heart. They know better than me what Jesus thinks about my shorts. A woman living under an ideology that executes people for letting their hair down and dancing - lectures me about what real Christianity is. That is not debate. That is desperation. Because when you cannot disprove what someone is saying - you go after their credibility. And the easiest way to attack credibility is to question identity. And that brings me to the second move. She wrote that I was not even Danish. That I should go home. Go home. Let me tell you who I am Keziban. I was born to my Danish mother in a Danish hospital. I have lived by Danish and Christian values my entire life. My father came to Denmark at 17 from Hungary - is Catholic - and adapted to Danish values from the day he set foot on Danish soil. He did not come with demands. He came with gratitude and a willingness to become part of the country that took him in. I did not flee here. I did not come here with a political agenda. I did not come here to reshape it into something else. I am from here. And then there is an irony so thick you can barely breathe in it. A woman whose ideology we have allowed into this country - to whom we have given shelter, welfare, freedom of speech and the rule of law - uses that freedom of speech to tell me to go home. To a country I have never left. While she defends a regime that sends 21-year-old karate champions to the gallows for shouting freedom. That is not a coincidence. It is precisely the pattern that repeats itself again and again. Support Israel - you are a racist. Defend the Iranians - you are an Islamophobe. Show skin on a warm day - you are a porn star. Be Christian and free - you cannot really be Christian. Be Danish - you are not Danish enough. Never an argument, a counter-proof or facts. Only the attack on the person. On the body. On the identity. On what is supposed to shut your mouth. And that is precisely why Islam as a political law-religion cannot coexist with Western values. Not because Muslims cannot live here. But because an ideology that responds to free female existence with shame - to Christian faith with arrogance - and to Danish identity with “go home” - is an ideology that fundamentally does not accept that others have the same right to exist as it demands for itself. I am putting my shorts on again today. And I am staying here. In my country.❤️‍🔥✝️🪽

✨ Emily’s Female Saints Fest Bonus post Anna the Prophetess spent her whole life waiting for a saviour. And then—she saw Him. Not as a king. Not as a conqueror. As a child. That was enough. She recognised Him instantly, because she had spent decades learning how to wait. Tomorrow, we return to the women who stood at the cross and who saw the empty tomb. They saw the victory. They saw death undone. And then—they waited. Because Resurrection isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a different kind of waiting.

✨ Emily’s Female Saints Fest — Easter +29 Anna the Prophetess She has been waiting longer than anyone else in the room. Decades. Not hoping vaguely. Not wondering if something might happen. Waiting with direction. Waiting with certainty. She knows what she is waiting for. A saviour. And she builds her entire life around that expectation. Not part-time faith. Not occasional devotion. She stays. In the temple. In prayer. In fasting. Day after day. Year after year. Until waiting stops being something she is doing—and becomes who she is. And then—a child is brought in. No announcement. No spectacle. Just another family. Another moment that looks like nothing. But she sees it immediately. No hesitation. No second guessing. This is Him. While others carry on, while others miss it entirely, she recognises the fulfilment of everything she has given her life to. This is the intensity of waiting. Not passive. Not empty. But so shaped by expectation that when the answer comes, it is unmistakable. She doesn’t need proof. She doesn’t need explanation. She knows. Because she has been living as if this moment was inevitable. Before Resurrection had a name, she was already living inside its quiet certainty - that God will come, and that those who wait will recognise Him when He does.

I stand by my earlier statement that the Epstein files are THE biggest scandal in modern history. But without full transparency, the public is left piecing together fragments. You have me—and I’m still working as fast as I can. Keep the pressure on. Incomplete data isn’t accountability. Survivors deserve better. Release the complete Epstein files.

Miss. Alina Pravosudova (23) from Haifa Israel, battled Hamas terrorists for hours on October 7th. Alina was the officer on duty at the "Urim" military base on the morning of the "Black Sabbath". She was armed and tried to protect younger members of her squad, but was eventually overpowered RPG fired at her by Hamas. Two of the female soldiers in the room were injured but managed to escape and told Alina's story, per MDA. Alina signed up to defend her homeland Israel, and she did till the very end May her memory be a blessing🎗️

✨ Emily’s Female Saints Fest — Easter +27 Judith She walks into the enemy camp on purpose. Not captured. Not forced. She chooses this. She prepares her body, dresses carefully, uses beauty as access. This is strategy. Not purity. Not distance. Proximity. She gains his trust. Lets him desire her. Lets him believe he is in control. And then— When he is drunk, unguarded, completely certain of his power— she takes his sword and cuts off his head. No miracle. No interruption. No last-minute rescue. Just a woman who enters the centre of oppressing power and ends it. This is where the pattern becomes impossible to ignore. Because now: life has been spoken (Hannah) restored (Shunammite) sustained under pressure (Widow) preserved in silence (Esther) broken through violently (Jael) And through Judith, it is taken back deliberately. This is not just survival. This is reversal. But it doesn’t feel clean. She deceives. She manipulates. She gets close in ways that are uncomfortable. And yet—her people live. So what do we do with this? Because resurrection, at this point, no longer looks like a miracle. It looks like confrontation. It looks like entering the place where death is being decided—and refusing to let it stand. Before Resurrection had a name, she was already living inside its most unsettling form— that life doesn’t just rise. It sometimes has to be reclaimed.

@SchlomoReplae @ChaiLife613 @Mazelit_ I stand by what I said 🤣

@ESantanberg @ChaiLife613 @Mazelit_ Nightmare is a strong word, maybe 'recoil in horror' is more accurate.

Hi new followers! My name is Mazelit and I didn’t choose Judaism — it chose me. Growing up in foster care, when I became an adult and got a full ride to Barnard College in NYC I had no family to fall back on. When I needed help, advice, a place to stay — Jews showed up for me. Random Jews that I added on social media would invite me to their homes for Shabbat, serve as temporary family, and share their holidays with me. When I refused to sign a BDS petition at Barnard when my roommates were in SJP — I received so much harassment I couldn’t even sleep I was terrified. Jews reached out to me to give me strength. To give me a place to stay when I was too nervous to be on campus. They became my family, in a way. For someone who didn’t know any Jews growing up — their kindness brought me to Hashem, to Judaism, and to the mitzvahs and minhag I hold so dear. I worked as a journalist nearly 50 hours a week in college — publishing nearly 3K articles in four years. After college, I made the mistake of moving somewhere on my own without a nearby Jewish community. I wish I could get those years back. It was the hardest time in my life — I was also suffering from anorexia at the time and foolishly isolated myself from everyone 💔 All that changed on October 7th. I realized that if I was going to live a “Jewish” life in private, that studying Judaism on my own at home wasn’t enough for me. I found the cheapest room for rent in South Florida that I could — as I’m living on a freelancer’s income — and made the move. I have never regretted it. I officially converted last year, but to say I converted because of 10/7 is a little bit of an oversimplification. I had wanted to convert for nearly a decade by then — I just was severely agoraphobic. I still am. I struggle with it every day. But there became a time when I found a therapist to help hold my hand through the conversion process and all the “social” events I dreaded. I went from dreading Shabbat services to looking forward to seeing everyone! I knew in my heart that I didn’t want to just live a “Jew-ish” life — after 10/7 I reckoned with my own mortality and knew I wanted to die as Jew too. Life is too short to let your mental health hold you back. I am so blessed I was able to break out of my agoraphobia to go through the conversion process. I love you all and I credit the Jewish people with saving my life. More story times coming soon 🙏

@SchlomoReplae @ChaiLife613 @Mazelit_ Are you trying to give us nightmares?

@ChaiLife613 @Mazelit_ @ESantanberg Hang on and I'll poll everyone wearing my pants... Nope, barely won by one vote.

FEMINISM. ISLAMISM. MARXISM. Three ideologies. One goal. They don’t appear to have anything in common. In fact they seem to contradict each other completely. Feminists fight for women’s freedom. Islamism oppresses women. Marxism wants to abolish class. Islamism has a clear class system based on gender, faith and ethnicity. And yet they march side by side in the streets. And yet the same politicians defend all three. And yet the same media applauds. Why? Because they share one common enemy. The free Western civilisation. The Christian cultural heritage. The traditional family. The national identity. The individual freedom. Everything that each of them - in their own way - exists to dismantle. FEMINISM started as a legitimate fight for women’s rights. The right to vote. Equal pay. Freedom from violence. But it didn’t stop there. It became a war against the very idea of being a woman. Against motherhood. Against femininity. Against men. Against the structure of the family. It told an entire generation of young women that their natural instincts were oppression - and that they were only free if they lived like men. It made women compete instead of create. Isolate instead of unite. Hate the masculine instead of love the complementary. The result? A generation of lonely men and women who cannot find each other. Falling birth rates. Families that are never formed. A people that is slowly ceasing to reproduce itself. MARXISM promised freedom through equality. It delivered mass graves. Everywhere it has held power - the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Cambodia, North Korea - the result is the same. Millions dead. Families destroyed. Churches closed. God replaced by the state. The individual sacrificed on the altar of the collective. Today Marxism has not disappeared. It has just changed its clothes. Now it is called identity politics. Woke. Critical race theory. Social justice. It is no longer working class against capitalists. It is victim groups against oppressors. But the mechanism is the same - divide people. Set them against each other. Remove the common foundation. And let the state fill the void. ISLAMISM is the most obvious. It does not hide its agenda. It wants to replace democracy with sharia. Individual freedom with collective submission. Women’s rights with control. Freedom of speech with blasphemy laws. The Western rule of law with divine law that cannot be voted away. And it waits patiently. It uses our freedom to restrict our freedom. It uses our democracy to undermine our democracy. It uses our tolerance to abolish our tolerance. And then there is the most perverse part of all. The Western left - which claims to fight for women, for homosexuals, for freedom of speech and human dignity - actively defends the only one of the three ideologies that consistently and executively oppresses everything they claim to fight for. That is not naivety. That is not incompetence. It is a shared project. Conscious or unconscious. Dismantle the family. Remove God. Isolate the individual. Make it dependent on the state. And then open the doors to an ideology that offers structure, community and meaning - to those who have lost all of that in the Western void. That is what is happening. And the only thing that can stand against it is what we are in the process of forgetting. A strong family. A living faith. A people that knows what it is - and is not afraid to say it.❤️‍🔥✝️🪽

From Miriam Pschak “I was born a Muslim in Iran. I was raised on Islam, educated in its scriptures, and even became an Islamic leader here in America—an Imam, an executive director of CAIR, and president of the Muslim Forum of Utah. So don’t insult my intelligence by telling me I believe in something I don’t understand. I understand Islam inside and out—and that’s why I left it. You say Islam is the religion of Abraham and that Christianity is paganism? That’s the same tired propaganda I used to preach before I studied the Bible for myself. Abraham looked forward to the promise of the Messiah (John 8:56), and that promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ—the Son of God, not just a prophet, but God in the flesh. You call it idolatry, but the truth is, you worship a distant, unknowable deity who demands submission but offers no assurance of salvation, no love, and no personal relationship. Islam claims simplicity, but it's not spiritual clarity—it's theological shallowness wrapped in slogans. You say “God alone,” but then claim the Qur'an is eternal and uncreated, that Muhammad is the perfect man, and that prayers must be recited in Arabic to be valid. That’s not pure monotheism—that’s blind ritualism. You call Christianity confusing, yet it’s Islam that denies the very sacrifice that fulfills God's justice and love. I’ve seen Christian doctors, scientists, and theologians embrace Jesus not because they’re deceived, but because they found the truth—a truth you refuse to face because it means letting go of the lies you were fed. Islam is not the religion of Abraham—it’s a 7th-century political invention that twisted Scripture to build an empire. I left Islam not because I was ignorant—but because I finally understood it. And once I saw the truth in Christ, I was set free.”

Many young girls are exposed to early sex by their own fathers. I came across a video where a father was forcing himself on his daughter. The girl looked about six years old, from an Asia country. The young girl was crying bitterly and begging her father. What kind of man would be so evil as to do this to a child? No pedophile deserves respect, and no pedophile should be called the best example for mankind. I had a classmate who once told us how her dad used to sleep with her and her sister while we were still in primary school. The girl was damaged; she wouldn’t play with anyone, stayed by herself, and always looked sad. Women, please stay very close to your daughters and be friendly with them so they can open up to you about anything.
