Heresy. Talarico is referring to Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” The Apostle Paul is explaining how, despite our differences, those who believe Jesus died for our sins shouldn’t be quarreling about who is more righteous based on religious edicts of the day but instead should be focused on sharing the gospel with as many people as possible. This is reinforced in Roman 2, 1 Corinthians 12, and in many other letters Paul writes to churches. It has absolutely nothing to do with this modern leftist concept of gender ideology, particularly applied to God. What a complete and total mockery of scripture. It’s very disturbing. I am not one to question someone’s Christian witness but James 3 tells us there is a harsh penalty for those who claim to be teachers of the Word and bear false witness. What Talarico is claiming here is absolutely false witness. I pray He repents.

NEW James Talarico defends saying “God is non-binary” to defend child gender mutilations. “If someone’s got a problem with that...they should take it up with the Apostle Paul.”

WSJ: “There is something deeper going on here than a fight over foreign policy. Democrats may be repulsed by Israel’s behavior, but this is really an argument over America. The connection between socialism and anti-Zionism is revealing: Increasingly, one’s attitude toward Israel and its self-defense reflects one’s attitude toward America—its free market, its global leadership, its use of force and its exceptional nature. The two democratic nations have special roles in the world. They share interests—and adversaries, most notably radical Islamists pursuing nuclear weapons. Supporters of Israel are supporters of America, and vice versa.”

Another thought about this SPLC business. ~6 months ago, @BowyerResearch announced that investors were demanding transparency over the risks of partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Since then, many major names (Salesforce, TI, etc) have stopped using SPLC metrics, choosing political neutrality over... an activist organization with a disturbing connection to political violence that's also currently under an FBI investigation for fraud. In another world, the 'culture of demonization' that @Tyler2ONeil describes from SPLC could have gone on for years, largely unchecked and unchallenged. We're all very fortunate for entities, from private investors to the Trump admin, willing to take this issue seriously.

ENGAGEMENT: The DOJ's indictment of the SPLC confirms what conservative investors have been arguing for months. ⏬ Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we've been talking with many of the biggest companies in America that use the SPLC's "hate list," which lists mainstream conservative and religious organizations like @ADFLegal and @TPUSA as equivalent to genuine hate groups. On behalf of investors such as @Heritage and @DavidBahnsen, and working with @ADFLegal/@1792Exchange, we've been making arguments that, in the wake of the indictment, are only becoming more obvious. 🟠 The SPLC is a politicized organization that weaponizes the label of 'hate group' to suit its biases 🟠 Using SPLC metrics to guide corporate policies creates controversy due to the list's association with political violence 🟠 Reliance on the SPLC's "hate list" will, by virtue of the list's political slant, create politicized corporate policies Quite a few companies, from Salesforce to Texas Instruments, have listened, ending their reliance on the SPLC as a result of shareholder engagement - shoutout to @Tyler2ONeil's stellar reporting on this. Others haven't (more on that later). But the point about SPLC being a deeply corrupt and unreliable source is only becoming clearer. The DOJ's indictment is making it clear: SPLC is not the organization you want determining your charitable policies. And many of the biggest names in corporate America are beginning to agree. Thank you to @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche for highlighting this issue.

Dear SPLC-loving CEOs: Any attempt to claim you couldn't have known how bad the SPLC was/is will arguably be an admission of a breach of duty to make fully informed decisions -- especially when shareholder proposals from @Heritage and @BowyerResearch put the issue in your proxy.
Tyler O'Neil@Tyler2ONeil

🚨VINDICATION In 2020, I wrote "Making Hate Pay" about the SPLC's corruption. I knew they scammed donors by inflating "hate," and I suspected they were planting racists... Now @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche confirmed my suspicions. 🧵1/9 x.com/Tyler2ONeil/st…

UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed @ETI_now

"SalesForce recently ended its reliance on SPLCs 'data' to inform charitable giving and corporate partnerships. Perhaps they saw the writing on the wall?" Cf. "Salesforce Ends Reliance on SPLC After @Heritage Shareholder Proposal" heritage.org/press/salesfor…
Jennifer Sey@JenniferSey

A few companies that have given money to SPLC include: Apple, JPMorgan Chase and Nike. Many also do employee matching to SPLC, increasing the funding further. Many companies use SPLC's "hate group" designations and data to guide internal policies for partnerships. Those include PayPal, Alphabet/Google, Meta, Amazon, Mastercard, Starbucks. To name a few. SalesForce recently ended its reliance on SPLCs "data" to inform charitable giving and corporate partnerships. Perhaps they saw the writing on the wall? How do we think the corporate funders are feeling right about now? I'll go out on a limb -- they will say that they think the charges are "politically motivated false allegations" but they will also quietly pull funding, employee matching and stop using SPLCs "data."

Some estimates put government fraud at $500 BILLION annually. Fraud has become an industry, stealing money that could go to education, infrastructure, or tax relief. It’s time to END the fraud industrial complex. Our state financial officers and @VP Vance are doing just that.

Progressivism ruined everything.
InfantryDort@infantrydort

"The century of progressivism did not go well. The European system that Wilson and the progressives scolded Americans for not adopting—which he called nearly perfect—led to the governments that caused the most awful century that the world has ever seen. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Mao all were intertwined with the rise of progressivism, and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our Declaration is based. Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people. It was a terrible mistake to adopt progressivism’s rejection of the Declaration’s vision of universal, unalienable natural rights." -Justice Clarence Thomas, 2026

I would imagine that this is, at least in part, a function of the dioceses producing priests. Most years, for example, the diocese of Lincoln NE ordaines more priests than the archdioceses of Los Angeles and New York *combined*. @jdflynn
Ryan Burge 📊@ryanburge

Among Catholic priests who were ordained in the late 1960s: 68% describe their theology as progressive. 16% said it was conservative. Among priests ordained in the last few years: 2% describe their theology as progressive. 84% said it was conservative.

As Apple announces its new CEO John Ternus, where is the company at on political signaling?🔻 As Ternus takes the reins at Apple, the company presents a very mixed profile when it comes to activist signaling and politicization. 🟢 On the one hand: - Apple has been responsive to shareholder advocacy from groups like @BowyerResearch and @AmericanFamAssc (@WalkerWildmon) in implementing anti-CSAM features and ramping up enforcement of age limits in its App Store - The company dropped ESG modifiers from its executive compensation plan, as reported at Bloomberg in February 2026 - The company's employee groups include those for religious employees (many companies, bafflingly, do not) 🔴 On the other: - Apple remains a platinum-tier sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign, a leading promoter of gender ideology in corporate America - Apple also receives a perfect score on the HRC's 'Corporate Equality Index,' indicating alignment with radical medical interventions surrounding hormone regimens and gender transition surgery - The company is still listed as a member of the Ceres Company Network, a notable promoter of net-zero and anti-fossil fuel activism - Apple is listed as High Risk by @1792Exchange and scores a mere 3% on @ADFLegal's Viewpoint Diversity Score (ty @StefanPadfield for noting this) Progress has been made here - but there's a lot left to be done to get to political neutrality. With a new CEO at the helm, Apple has an excellent opportunity to prioritize it.
