This is the post of the Year.

@MiscreaRichard My yellow Lab needs to learn some manners. Needs to go to the same finishing school yours went to.

The dog's nose is indeed amazing. Our blood tracker has saved quite a few critters for hunters. Training a new one now as our old gal is in retirement.

@SDakotaPapist @pontificatormax Read some history.

@EVR_Forge @pontificatormax Wait are you some weird sede or just a LARP sola scriptura guy who claims to be apart of the little c catholic church

The fruit of abandoning the Church's Just War traditions

@SDakotaPapist @pontificatormax Books are something you could spend some time reading. Yes, of course. But long before the glorious defense of Europe by Catholics, the Church was weak, and lost vast regions to Islam, a situation our leaders and many Catholics are aping again today.

@EVR_Forge @pontificatormax Protestants fought with the Turks to overthrow Catholicism. History does not favor your position my friend

@796763 @TaylorRMarshall lol You must have missed the post he reposted...

@TaylorRMarshall Strawman argument. I've been a Protestant all my life, but have been in several denominations. NEVER have I heard that Catholics made up the term Bishop in the middle ages. Either you are making this up out of thin air, or you are citing some fringe idiot that nobody knows.

Protestant nonsense: "but in the Middle Ages, they made up the word bishop." 🤡 The origin of the word "bishop" was not a "made up word". It derives from the original Greek word: ἐπίσκοπος (Greek) > episcopus (Latin) > episcop (early English > piscop > pishop > bishop Same goes for priest: πρεσβύτερος (Greek) > presbyterus (Latin) > presbyter (early English) > priester > priest Please read more books and educate yourself.

🚨 BREAKING: The Democrats are furious after realizing American travelers by-and-large LOVE having ICE assisting TSA lines in airports One woman realized the fake news propaganda was wrong! "I WAS concerned...but they're not bothering us, so let's get it done!" 🔥 "I like that they're here. It's allowing us to move and get to where we need to go." "As long as they can help us move a little bit faster, maybe they can take some of the work off TSA agents. I'm ALL FOR IT."

@SDakotaPapist @pontificatormax Enjoy Ramadan.

@EVR_Forge @pontificatormax It’s the Jews nigga

@RCCoulombe 🙏

Today, March 24, 2026 is the 11th anniversary of the death of my mother, Mrs. Patricia Coulombe (seen here with Dad shortly after their wedding in 1951). Of Your charity, please pray for the repose of her soul.

I don't doubt it. My post here isn't about what I disagree with. It's about your strong suit. A lesson from business makes a smooth leap into life generally. Take sporting goods, for example. Success selling fishing tackle and shotgun shells may lead one to believe one can make a good go of it selling jockstraps and basketballs. For many, that is a mistake that wrecks the company.

@EVR_Forge I'll continue to address any and all issues I think important, even if some (or many) of my followers don't agree with me.

Coming later this week: My interview with Bishop Athanasius Schneider. In this clip, His Excellency explains why Communion in the Hand has led to widespread sacrilege toward the Blessed Sacrament.

If you do not follow this account, you really should.

@amanofthesoil Some of the local folks may have been in the dark but the owner of them fightin cocks knew exactly how many there were! 😉🤣 Another great post b y the way!!

"Chickens Crowing on Sourwood Mountain" played on homemade gourd banjo at the 1794 Tellico Blockhouse in Vonore, Tennessee.

@SDakotaPapist @pontificatormax It's an interesting phenomenon that so many Catholics seek dhimmi status. No doubt such attitudes were significant in the collapse of the Church in North Africa in the 7th century and Spain in the 8th.

@EVR_Forge @pontificatormax Goy brain

That is not an accurate statement. The fact is that outside the Anglo/French nations the TLM is a very rare thing indeed so you cannot say "Catholics across the world favour Mass in the vernacular". You may say with more accuracy that their Modernist Bishops do. Unchain the TLM from episcopal suppression and see what happens.

@PaulinusOfTrier Hardly flocking. Tiny numbers relatively speaking in some English speaking countries and France. Vast majority of Catholics across the world favour Mass in the vernacular.

Why are people so surprised that the young are flocking to Masses celebrated in Latin? The use of Latin has never been an obstacle to faith. Even at the Reformation, the argument against Latin was not that people were losing faith because of the language, but rather that the use of Latin concealed what they saw as the real meaning of the Mass, a different issue altogether.

BTW: That is one strange document. In it JPII establishes a clear defense for Abp Lefebvre in admitting that "new points of doctrine" were introduced in Vatican 2 which was precisely the fundamental cause of Abp Lefebvre's "grave fear" which he publicly, vociferously and consistently demonstrated for the previous 2 DECADES! JPII might as well have cited CIC 1323/4 and /7 on behalf of Abp Lefebvre as well! That schism did not take place of course was later made clear by Cardinal Castrillon which can be found in an interview online and of course in a ruling by Cardinal Ratzinger himself, the latter in 1993, only 5 years after the consecrations in his nullification of the excommunications for schism of Catholic laity who received SSPX sacraments in the "Hawaii 6" case.

@FSSPXFR À deux doigts de justifier l'adultère par fidélité à son épouse… On ne peut pas prétendre être fidèle à l'Église en rompant avec le successeur de Pierre par un acte schismatique, comme l'a déjà déclaré le pape Jean-Paul II. vatican.va/content/john-p…

Oui, des sacres. Des sacres, encore une fois, non pas pour défier l’Église — ce n’est pas un défi —, mais par fidélité à l’Église et aux âmes. J’assume cette responsabilité devant l’Église, bien sûr, et devant la Fraternité Saint-Pie X, devant tous les membres de la Fraternité, et devant — je le répète encore — toutes les âmes qui, d’une manière ou d’une autre, ont recours à nous, nous demandent de l’aide ou nous en demanderont. Toutes ces âmes, toutes ces vocations que la Providence nous a envoyées, continue de nous envoyer : j’assume aussi cette responsabilité devant elles. Toutes et chacune en particulier, car une âme a une valeur infinie. #catholique #eglisecatholique #traditioncatholique #fsspx #sspx

I don't underestimate anything. I've lived plenty of those same challenges myself. What I'm referring to is culture. Anglo culture dominated and Corporation culture & authority profoundly influenced settlement (Hudson’s Bay Company, Canada Company, North West Company and of course Compagnie des Cent-Associés). This isn't about "tough people". It's about culture. The physical and environmental obstacles were there but so was the powerful mitigating factor of culture and that culture was enforced by government which inherited control authority from the Companies (which can be seen to be forms of government themselves). With a far lower population than that of the USA, control was that much more easily exercised. As settlement occurred, reliance on government simply expanded, the foundation for reliance having already been established. A theory, anyway, as the present dependency is not in dispute and apparently somehow Canadians became serfs of government, at least in most of the provinces.

@EVR_Forge @AMJalsevac The men and women who tamed the Shield, the prairies, the Rockies, the Maritimes, etc., largely did so on their own. Don’t underestimate how harsh the Canadian landscape was.

It's true. There is no authentically conservative political movement in Canada that carries any traction within the general population. There's a reason for that. Canadians are hopeless.

🚨 HOLY CRAP!! ICE has helped totally CLEAR OUT the TSA lines at Southwest Florida Airport "This morning, travelers experienced a wait time, but since I got here, the lines are moving SMOOTH." "COMPLETELY empty!" Our reporter has been inside and the place is CRAWLING with ICE and HSI 🔥 Thank you President Trump! It's all going according to plan, and travelers are grateful 🇺🇸

@S_OReilly_USA @holysmoke Good. We want you around for a while longer! 😉

@holysmoke Let's see if he corrects Amoris Laetitia and Fiducia Supplicans. But, I will not hold my breath.

Very perceptive: “The contours and substance of the pontificate seem to be emerging: No break with the past, but adjustments, corrections, and clarifications, in an attempt to remain in line with the history of the Church, which certainly did not end with the pontificate of Pope Francis, just as it did not end with previous pontificates.”

@HannahIamthest1 That's just an old saw.

When checking my saws I found all of them were depressed by being replaced by electric versions. In fact this was the only one that appeared to be coping. 🤣🤣

@archeohistories I've ridden enough broncs to know that guy needs some eye goggles right NOW.

Cowboy riding an elk 1910... In early 1900s, there were scattered efforts in North America to domesticate elk (wapiti) for practical use, riding, packing, and even pulling small loads. Elk are native to the region and can weigh 700–1,000 pounds, with impressive endurance. A few ranchers and enthusiasts found that, when raised young, they could be trained, though never with the consistency or temperament of horses. Elk are powerful, but unpredictable. Unlike horses, they don’t domesticate easily across generations, which made large-scale use impractical. By the 1910s and 1920s, these experiments had mostly faded, leaving behind images like this, part frontier ingenuity, part curiosity. In parts of Canada and the northern U.S., elk were also briefly explored for dairy production, as their milk is exceptionally rich, containing up to twice the fat content of cow’s milk, though it never became commercially viable. © History Pictures #archaeohistories
