@khadijakamala @libertarianesqu @TansuYegen Communism only benefits a small elite group. Everyone else is disposable. We’re people not farm animals. Thanks for playing.

@CatholicArena He forgot David. The Bee made a joke. Whoopie. And I deeply miss John Paul ll, a man that would have something to say about all of it.

To Catholics who laugh at this They're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you

@WallStreetApes When you normalize crime and uncivilized behavior, you get this. She needs to travel to places that are not doing that and ask why. When you tolerate crime, business changes or leaves.

A new Dunkin Donuts opened in “the hood” in South Central Los Angeles The location opened with just a drive thru and “Order Here” kiosks on the outside of the building. No indoor seating or walk-up counter service This is due to California crime. In higher crime neighborhoods food businesses are beginning to open locations where no indoor seating is an option In addition to being safer in crime heavy area, the business focuses more on to-go orders and drinks Drive thru only Dunkin’ locations are more commonly deployed in higher crime urban neighborhoods, which are overwhelmingly in Democrat led cities (this is supported by real data)

@Osint613 St Peter's wll end up being a mosque.

Pope Leo says Muslims migrants should be allowed to stay in Europe and coexist with Christians, drawing mass criticism. "We all need to work together," the Pope said.

@JamesMartinSJ He met with David Axelrod, and his priests immediately went political on 60 Minutes. That is not acting like a Pope, that is American democrat politics.

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology. Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy. Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy. But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed. So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to. But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

@CatholicHerald Catholic Charities received 2.3 billion federal tax dollars during Biden. Trump closed the border. Number of people dropped like a rock. Don’t need those services if there are no incoming migrants. Problem solved. But leftists are salty about their lost money.

The Trump administration has cancelled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities in Miami, ending a decades-long partnership to care for unaccompanied migrant children. 🔗 ow.ly/XkKY50YKnuQ

@FrStephenImb All men are fallible. All men sin. Everyone born human can make mistakes. The degree to which the people are being denigrated is also disgusting. Very real important issues are being debated, and need to be. It’s long past time.

The disrespect that so many Catholics here are showing Pope Leo is disgusting. Yea, yea, yea you all will give me the litany of the reasons you have for your disrespect. You will pummel me with questions like, “but Father, what about this, this, and this…” Well I have a question for you! Who do you all think you are? You are the holy ones? The prayerful ones? So filled with the Holy Spirit? Who are you to scrutinize and judge every single word and action of Christ’s authority on earth? The pharisaical nature of American Catholics is truly coming out. And then, so many denigrating the Pope at every turn at the same time minimize and rationalize every action and diatribe of our President? Here is a reflection for us all…Proverbs 9:10.

I was born @ 35weeks. No deficit. No interventions. 7lbs, 14 oz. By then, you’re mostly gaining weight and developing lungs. Everything else is long completed. Viability, the ability to survive outside of the uterus with major intervention is 23 weeks, with increased chances of survivability literally with each day beyond that. No one in healthcare uses the concept of ‘not a baby’. If it’s born, and has vital signs, it’s immediately a person. If you have a fully intact nervous system, you feel pain. It’s not magically bestowed upon you at 40 weeks. Believe in abortion or don’t, your choice, but the truth of how we reproduce as a species is long known, and your politics are tedious. It’s the same old propaganda that’s been spewed for decades, so you can do whatever you want, without a guilt.

There are no abortion videos of babies screaming in pain and pulling away from the forceps as their skull is crushed. That isn’t a thing because no one is getting an abortion at that late of a stage in pregnancy unless it is an emergency. A fetus is not even considered a baby until around 37 weeks. 90% of abortions happen during the first trimester which is before the 13 week point. A simple google search would tell you this. According to the CDC only 1% of abortions are late stage (after 21 weeks) and happen when the fetus has passed inside the mother due to medical complications and the mother is at risk of dying from sepsis. Your claims are complete nonsense. All you are doing is spreading blatant lies and misinformation to support your own personal bias against women having bodily autonomy.

@micah_erfan Derp.

The longer you follow politics, the more you realize everything Republicans told you about Democrats was a lie.

@AaronRegunberg When the rich leave, where will you get money? Derp.

It's literally -- literally -- a tax on empty luxury properties that nobody lives in. These people already live in Florida, you dumbass.

If you actually cared about kids, you would demand that they’re actually educated, instead of demanding money for failing public schools. You made sure that your kid was educated, didn’t you. Now you only want to make sure that you get the teacher vote. Poor kids in charter schools don’t need what your child received. They don’t need to read and write. Education is power. Can’t give that to the little people.

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot at a good education. That's why I’m introducing legislation to repeal federal vouchers and keep public funds in public schools — so schools have the resources they need to do right by our kids.

@DarrigoMelanie Your shallow envy doesn’t entitle you to take the money of others, just because you want it.

If one of the scariest things you’ve ever seen is a tax on a second home that you don’t live in that’s worth over $5 million, then you’ve lived a very privileged life.

California Dems just passed the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ - literally named after the journalist exposing billions in immigrant-services fraud. Mia Bonta’s bill lets them sue anyone posting videos that ‘harass’ their grift. Same party in Minnesota has blocked an independent fraud investigator for over a year - even after the Senate passed it 60-7. Democrats don’t want accountability. They want the fraud machine protected while your tax dollars disappear. This is calculated, quiet corruption. They rewrote the rules to stay in the dark. Wake up. #AStoneGroove

@NickCho It was created in the 70s to keep property taxes from soaring, allowing people, especially the elderly, from losing their homes. You want to take their homes. You are not a champion of the little guy.

Can nothing be done? Lived in California since 2011 & while overall think it's wonderful, the one thing that I've been absolutely perplexed by is Prop 13. It's the worst thing about CA & everyone just accepts it, & almost every other problem with CA is because of it.

@KevinKileyCA The commies don’t want to celebrate America. They want you sad, broke, and controlled in their gray and joyless dystopia.

The latest absurdity from the CA Coastal Commission: no fireworks on the Fourth of July. I've introduced legislation to rein in this runaway agency.

@spencerpratt She’s so FOS. First, enforce the law and deal with gangs to have safe streets. Without that, it’s just feel good propaganda that can’t ever happen.

LOL you won’t even move encampments 500 feet away from schools!

@KevinKileyCA HAD

LA has everything to offer. Yet the combination of Newsom and Bass has made it unlivable. This is the cost of awful political leadership.

Pope Leo grew up in Chicago. I grew up in Lebanon. I wasn't forced to leave Lebanon because there was peaceful coexistence. I was forced to leave Lebanon because Islamic terrorists blew up my home and killed many of the people I grew up with. I wish the Pope would talk to the persecuted Lebanese before making ignorant statements about countries he knows very little about.

@officer_Lew Why give more money to schools where they don’t actually educate kids.

WOW🚨: Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker drops the mask: "How dare you tell me, as mayor, how to tax you?" She's pushing a $1 per ride tax on every Uber & Lyft in the city to fund schools — while the district still faces a massive budget hole. This is peak "we own you" energy from a politician who sees taxpayers as an ATM instead of people already getting crushed by high costs. When government spending is out of control, the answer is never cutting waste... it's always another tax. Philly, how much more are you willing to take?

@MayorToddGloria A million dollar unit is not affordable, it’s just a union kickback jobs program.

We’re turning a historic building into homes families can afford! The Teralta brings 73 new homes in City Heights and meets a real need in the community with 45 three- and four-bedroom homes designed for larger and multigenerational families. #BuildMoreHomes #ForAllOfUs

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom’s PAC used $1.5 million to buy 67,000 copies of HIS OWN BOOK. Total book sales were around 97,400. His PAC’s purchase accounts for about two-thirds of all sold copies
