@Leah19519359 @JohnKasich The democrats are skipping the SOTU because they represent the PEOPLE. Well, the people who aren't billionaires or pedophiles. Which of those categories are you in?

@JohnKasich Tell that to the Democrats who are skipping the SOTU or planning a fashion statement. Tell it to the people who are not funding the DHS and government officials who are going without pay. Be nice and bring us together works BOTH ways.

John Kasich@JohnKasich·
The President has a real opportunity at the State of the Union: Bring the country together. Remind us who we are. We saw it for brief moments recently celebrating Olympic medal wins by Team USA. Politics disappeared and we were simply Americans cheering together. We need more of that.

@JohnKasich It's ten years now since we started having to deal with the moron. There is no excuse for anyone to pretend he's going to suddenly experience a complete transformation. Joe Biden, a centrist dem, tried to bring the country together. MAGA fascists shrieked at him for it.

Brilliantly put, Your Excellency. AOC dismissing Western culture as “thin” is straight from the Marxist playbook, attacking religion and individual rights first. The Western Judeo-Christian culture that birthed democracy, universities, art, culture and the rule of law? Not thin, just inconvenient for AOC’s Marxist and antisemitic agenda. AOC with Bernie’s and Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism” push is straight from Communist Manifesto - old Marxist tactics, starting with religion bashing and ending in tyranny. Eastern Europeans have been through the hell known as communism. America helped defeat that evil. And now the American left’s shocking embrace of this hollow and dangerous ideology ignores history’s bloody lessons. Spot on.

Friends, something that is becoming increasingly a concern of mine is the prevalence of explicit Marxism in the rhetoric and practice of certain leaders on the Left in America.  I invite you to consider my thoughts on the subject here: fxn.ws/46fyxCA

@BishopBarron If these were normal times, I would weigh in on how laughably wrong you are about Marx, but these are not normal times, so I am weighing in asking you why you are ignoring the current administration's horrific assaults on immigrants.

@afterlyfe61 @CalltoActivism Perhaps you think it is "normal" for a man to be a felon, a pedophile, multiply-bankrupt, and a traitor, but I can assure you, this is not normal. Neither is this "joke."

are you upset that the president is a normal human being that likes to make jokes. Or that the Canadian hockey team sucks? Did the meme hurt your feelings? Maybe if you ask nicely it will apologize, oh wait it can't because it isn't real just like everything else that offends you

CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism·
THIS IS NOT NORMAL: Donald Trump just post a video inserting himself in last night’s Olympic victory and depicts him punching and beating Canadian hockey players. There is no planet where this is normal or presidential. Trump is an embarrassment to the world and he is very ill.

@CalltoActivism I think he should go do this in real life. We should all demand that he give it a try, in fact.

@CDamianWrites @maxwellkuzma This is a good point. Pope Francis' statement that pastors should "smell of the sheep" has been over quoted but the point stands. If a pastor is engaging with the powerful I want to know if he's summoning them to do the work of justice or enabling them to perpetuate injustice.

@maxwellkuzma Side note: I also think this is among the least scandalous things about Barron. What I find more scandalous is how you always see images of him with celebrities and politicians. You never see images of him with the poor.

Was notified of this by another Catholic writer. Apparently, Bishop Barron's personal Facebook account follows accounts for "Brazilian Male Feet" and a some young males with abs who post provocative videos. I have a lot of thoughts about this...

They seemed to hate us even more than they hated pro choice activists. I think because they knew we had been inside the movement and saw what it is.

It took forever for me to grasp that they were never going to do that because they were using the abortion issue precisely to justify their support for all the evils I thought they should oppose.
