@DouthatNYT It is likely a grift, but assuming it's true, then I posit it was a member, or members, of the Collins Elite, who follow those particular pastors and trust them ... or who at least trust them to spread the word.

Category of weird things I'd like to understand: Why someone affiliated with or pretending to be affiliated with the U.S. government decided to rent a rural Airbnb to one-shot a group of Pentecostalist pastors with a very specific theory of UFOs: x.com/UAPDr/status/2…
Dr. Dan@UAPDr

Instead of speculating about a “government disclosure prep meeting for pastors,” listen to two guys who were actually there walk through the whole conversation. Not broad prep for churches. Something much smaller. And much stranger. #UAP #Disclosure #aliens

Not surprising that he ended up back in Protestantism when he began with Protestant presuppositions. If you judge Catholicism or Orthodoxy by Protestant standards, naturally they will fall short.

An Israeli mother@IsraMum

J'ai un mauvais goût dans la bouche. Parlé à une amie française catho hier, mère de deux enfants scolarisés dans un collège de "bonne" banlieue bien bourgeoise... avant. Ses gamins se font traiter de « kaffirs » (infidèles) . Ou de chienne à b..r, à 13 ans, pour un débardeur et une jupe d'été. On les pousse dans les couloirs parce qu'ils mangent du porc, on leur a craché dessus parce qu'ils mangeaient dans la cour pendant le Ramadan . Le directeur ne prend plus ses appels, elle en est à écrire des lettres. Les profs ont peur... ou alors font partie de la nouvelle génération voilée qui se moque d'elle en lui conseillant que sa fille "s'adapte". Elle me demande sur Zoom comment ca se fait (en tant qu Israelienne, je suis une grande spécialiste de l Islam)... Et en fait oui. Je connais un peu plus qu elle. Moi j'ai lu, je connais les concepts de Hijra et Jihad al-Hijra – la « jihad par la migration ». Ce n'est pas une théorie du complot. C'est enraciné dans l'histoire de l'islam : Mahomet lui-même a fait la Hijra de La Mecque à Médine, et cela a lancé la conquête. Aujourd'hui, des voix islamistes parlent ouvertement de la migration massive vers l'Europe comme d'un devoir religieux pour islamiser les terres des « kuffar ». Peupler, dominer démographiquement, imposer la charia progressivement. Erdogan l'a dit aux Turcs en Europe : faites beaucoup d'enfants, vous êtes l'avenir du continent. Oui, oui, me dit-elle. C'est exactement ca, du super-marché où elle envoie maintenant son mari au métro qu'elle prend les fesses serrées de trouille. Je lui raconte un souvenir d'enfance- l'interview sur 7/7 avec Anne Sinclair, du recteur du nouvel Institut du Monde Arabe, vers le debut des annees 90, ce monstre moche juste à côté du Trocadero avec ses moucharabiehs high-tech et son antenne 'la'plus haute de Paris' "Paris est maintenant une terre d'Islam", disait-il. Je m'en souviens car ma mère avait fait une vraie crise, et moi gamine je l'avais prise pour une folle. Mais elle avait raison. Ma copine s'étrangle. "Ca'fait si longtemps?" Eh oui. L islam, a depuis longtemps visé au cœur la ville des « kuffar ». Et bientôt, les'indigènes' deviendront dhimmis : dans la tradition islamique, les non-musulmans (Juifs, Chrétiens) qui vivent en terre d'islam sont « protégés ».(ahem).. mais en fait seconde classe. Ils paient la jizya, subissent des restrictions, doivent se soumettre et accepter une infériorité juridique et sociale. Donner leurs filles sous peine de violence, prier leur dieux seulement en secret... le 20heures, quoi. Devant nos yeux, en Europe, la Hijra s'accélère :Des quartiers entiers où les seules patrouilles de police sont les milices de la charia. Les flics, pas soutenus par la justice, ont peur. Dans les écoles on autocensure les programmes car personne ne veut être Samuel Pathy. On s'excuse de l'histoire de France. , Les filles non voilées sont harcelées etvleurs frères attaqués en bande s'ils s'interposent. Des attentats, des émeutes, et une insécurité quotidienne qui explose. Ce n'est pas de la haine de dire cela. C'est regarder la réalité en face. J'ai aimé la France des Lumières, du vin, des fromages, de la liberté et de la laïcité. Le multiculturel 'soft' où j ai grandi, ensemble avec cette même amie effarée aujourd’hui. Tout le monde était accepté... tant que tout le monde respectait le mainstream Gaulois. J'aimais bien. C'est fini. Il va falloir que les Français décident entre se battre ou devenir une province de l'Oumma où vous serez dhimmis. Parlez-en. Décidez. Votez . Agissez.

LaughBreak: Dad Jokes ‘N More@MediocreJoker85

The year is 2028, and the United States has just elected the first woman from Alabama as president. A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father and says, “So, Daddy, I assume you’ll be coming to my inauguration?” “I don’t think so,” he replies. “It’s a 16-hour drive, your mother isn’t as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.” “Don’t worry, Daddy,” she says. “I’ll send Air Force One to pick you up. A limousine will take you from your door.” “I don’t know,” he says. “Everyone will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?” “Oh, Daddy,” she replies, “I’ll make sure she has a beautiful gown, custom made by the best designer in Washington.” “Sweetheart,” he continues, “you know I can’t eat those rich foods you and your friends like.” “Don’t worry,” she says. “The entire affair will be handled by the best caterer in Washington. I’ll make sure your meals are salt-free. I really want you to come.” So the father reluctantly agrees. On January 20th, 2029, the first woman from Alabama is sworn in as President of the United States. In the front row sit her mother and father. The father leans over to the Supreme Court Justice next to him and whispers, “You see that woman up there, hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?” “Yes,” the Justice replies. The father says proudly, “Her brother played football for the University of Alabama.”

The mayor of Marosszentgyörgy (RO: Sângeorgiu de Mureș) in Szeklerland shared a photo on his FB page of a civil wedding he officiated for two Gypsies who don’t look a day older than 14. Arranged marriages like this one (probably) are a common practice in Gypsy communities.

NYT's @NickKristof to fellow progressives: "A black kid in Mississippi is 2.5 times as likely to be proficient in math & reading by 4th grade as a black kid in Calif. Do we need to look a little bit less at what the Trump Admin is doing ... & look a little more in the mirror?"

The Pratt campaign is interesting because he intuitively understands that the only path to victory is through a media spectacle. California is a one-party state, and the entire institutional apparatus is designed to create a closed system ruled by the Left. Mobilizing the public via media narratives is the only avenue for shifting public opinion, and, perhaps, votes. The Pratt campaign is still a long shot, but he is playing the game with style and skill. If I were in Los Angeles, I would cast my vote for him.

These were the 1929 Arab Riots — nearly 20 years before Israel existed. In just six days across British Mandate Palestine, Arabs — incited by Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini — launched coordinated attacks on Jews in more than 20 towns & villages. The Mufti spread the now-familiar lie: Jews were planning to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque and seize the Temple Mount. That religious incitement turned peaceful areas into killing fields. Jews were murdered in Jerusalem, Safed, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Motza, Hulda, Kfar Uria, and elsewhere. In Safed, Jews were burned alive. In Motza, an entire family — father, mother, son, and two daughters — was raped and slaughtered. Women were violated. Children were bludgeoned. Rabbis were mutilated. The worst horror came in Hebron. There, an ancient Jewish community — which had lived peacefully with Arab neighbors for centuries — was shattered. 67 Jews (men, women, children, and elderly) were massacred in a frenzy of rape, torture, and murder. Homes and synagogues were looted and burned. The British, unable to protect the survivors, evacuated the remaining Jews to Jerusalem. For the first time in centuries, Hebron was emptied of its Jewish community. This wasn’t “resistance to Zionism.” It was a religiously driven pogrom against Jews — simply for being Jews. The myth that Arab violence against Jews in the Land of Israel only began in 1948 is a lie. The pattern of incitement and massacre was already set. History matters. Share it.
Captain Allen@CptAllenHistory

Six days of Arab pillage and murder of Jewish men, women and children in 1929 culminating with the Hebron Massacre was because of what? Resistance? Israel's actions in Gaza? Learn history, absorb it, and THEN form your opinions.

Not to sound like a woke libtard SJW cultural marxist critical race theorist white genocider, but it is genuinely remarkable how, while never accounting for more than a quarter of the population, Black Americans invented pretty much every major genre of American popular music

Magnificent @KemiBadenoch! Courage, clarity, and confidence in the face of anti-Semitism. More, please -- from British politicians on all sides.
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

People sometimes ask why there aren’t more Christians in the arts. One reason is that they face intense discrimination, often in the name of inclusion and diversity. x.com/matthewschmitz…

I’ve often believed that the Armenian Genocide is under studied and underreported in the west because: 1. The Young Turk CUP (Committee of Union and Progress) was blatantly progressive politically, which makes progressives today look bad. 2. It murdered orthodox Christians, few of whom live in the west. 3. It shows a Muslim genocide of Christians, which goes against those trying to portray a Muslim/Christian alliance. 4. It shows the bizarre alliance between leftism and Islam for evil gains 5. It shows a very educated and advanced Islamic society falling to barbarism, which counters the narrative that education makes us moral people (the same issue can be found in the advanced and educated German society in WWII) 6. It undercuts the intense persecution of orthodox Christians for millennia, and harms the myth that Islam can coexist with Christianity.
