What Niccolò Machiavelli got wrong — and St. Thomas Aquinas got right — about rulers 🧵 #CatholicPhilosophy #Thomism

What did you expect from the man who said he doesn’t ask God for forgiveness? Trump told CBN in 2015 he basically doesn’t do the “forgiveness” part of Christianity. He just tries to fix things himself. Prosperity Gospel is the most Trumpian faith imaginable — transactional, results-oriented, zero groveling. It’s not “sickening.” It’s on-brand.

Sickening, yet accurate

@VigilantFox If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and drops bombs on Iranian nuclear sites like a duck… it’s probably a war.

Bizarre segment from Chris Cuomo: “Maybe we’re not really at war with Iran after all.” “What we’re doing in Iran is decidedly something less than a war.” He then tells his own viewers they have TDS unless they start questioning if this is an “alleged” war.

Why would we fear Elon? Is he perfect? No — none of us are. But he’s certainly not exhibiting any characteristics of someone who needs to be “feared.” He builds rockets that land themselves, cars that drive themselves, and platforms that actually let people speak. The guy’s entire track record is about expanding human possibility, not restricting it.

Should We Fear Elon Musk?

@StephenKing I see Monsters in the Archives dives into your margin notes, editorial changes, and those never-published alternative endings. I'm genuinely tempted to preorder it just to read the alternate versions — any particular one you're most glad didn't make the final cut?

MONSTERS IN THE ARCHIVES, Caroline Bicks: this is the best book about my process that I have ever read. I think it comes out in April of this year.

@RealAlexJones Israel won’t send its own ground troops but expects Americans to die grabbing Iran’s uranium? Unacceptable. No U.S. lives for Israeli interests. Let the IDF handle it.

You don’t drift into truth or virtue. You choose them—daily, often when it’s inconvenient, and sometimes when it costs you.

@RealAlexJones Or maybe… Trump made some bad decisions and now there’s fallout that needs to be dealt with. Not everything is a “deep state trap” designed to tank his economy. Sometimes leaders own the consequences of their choices instead of blaming shadowy cabals.

@StephenKing The unbeatable combo is a cup of hot tea and a novel while it’s raining. Cold night works too, but that steady rain on the window seals the deal.

Nothing is much better than a cup of hot coffee or tea on a cold night, and an entertaining novel to read.

Palm Sunday ✝️

What will it take for people to realize that neither Judaism nor the State of Israel are our theological allies? They don’t confess Jesus as Lord and Messiah—the very heart of our faith. This isn’t shocking; it’s the logical outcome of two different covenants. Our true allegiance isn’t to any earthly government or ethnic-religious state. It’s to the Gospel and the Church Christ founded. Time for Christians to wake up and stop chasing political “allies” who reject the Cross. ✝️

🚨For the first time in centuries, Christians were blocked by the Israeli government from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa was prevented from entering Church by Israel Police. The very place where Christ died and rose. This is the deliberate denial of Christian worship. Allies don’t do this…enemies do. That is religious discrimination. That is a violation of religious freedom. And the silence is deafening. Silence in the face of this is complicity. The world should be outraged. Speak now… for Christians in occupied Palestine ✝️

@mtgreenee Love this verse. Even the stones would praise Him if we stayed silent. This Palm Sunday, may the same King who rode into Jerusalem ride gently into every heart — including ours. Christ the King, have mercy on us all. 🙏

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

When a culture rejects objective truth, it doesn’t become more free— it just hands power to whoever gets to define reality.

I'm trying to keep up with the rules here. Is calling out George Soros — who happens to be Jewish — for funding these 'No Kings' protests automatically antisemitic? Or is it fair game to criticize any billionaire's political spending, regardless of background? The guidelines seem to shift depending on who's talking.

“Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to sound the alarm on ties between Soros and the "No Kings" protest during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.” foxnews.com/politics/soros…

@FatherAltman I’d be curious to know what your thoughts are on Catholics like Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Matt Fradd working at the Daily Wire.

Daily Wire is ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOTRY. Hmmmm Who's the head perdon over there? Oh yeah. That's right. A Jew. So, let me get this straight. It's ok for a Jew to be an anti-Catholic bigot? Or, to anyone: it's ok to be an anti-Catholic bigot?

@CatholicSat Why would anyone be upset about him going to Monaco?

A lot of people were upset that the Pope decided to go Monaco. I don’t get it. God Incarnate, the founder of our religion, before Hid glorious Ascension commanded the Apostles to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

@RealAlexJones So after Trump defied the clear majority of Americans who wanted NO part of this war, rammed us into it anyway, and tanked his own “recovery”… now he’s the helpless victim of BlackRock’s master plan? 😂

@j_fishback @WellsJorda89710 Folks like Rev. Jordan Wells are the reason the word racist has been stripped of meaning. It’s that simple.

“It’s that simple.”

@ShaneSchaetzel History already ran this experiment. It ends with bread lines and body counts, not utopia.

Young Democrats are straight-up commies now.👇🏻

@michaeljknowles Cheeky poll—while there are real differences between Catholics and Protestants, this is one area where many early Reformers (like Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli) actually agreed with the Catholic view.

When it comes to the perpetual virginity of Mary, do you agree with the Catholic view or with the view of Protestant reformers Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Wesley?
