It sounds like a joke all in good fun, but seriously this did actually happen the first time.
This footage was from the first No Kings event back in June. Many retirement homes were emptied out by event organizers who provided transportation and snacks to retirees, so as to pad their protests with personnel.
I mean, it's never a good idea to underestimate mass protest events, but still. Not exactly a youth movement, this No Kings stuff.
Good morning.
Time to pour gasoline on what’s left of my reputation and strike the match, all for a cause I should’ve committed to long ago: the truth.
This Is Not Real Life is a memoir about the total, unfiltered chaos behind the scenes of my time in media.
From an evangelical upbringing and a steady diet of Fox News, to going viral and playing my first part in media disinformation, to meeting with terrorists, neo-Nazis, intelligence agents, and political crime rings. There's coke binges, MDMA diplomacy with enemies, a nuclear-grade marriage meltdown, and a trail of scandals across five continents. I was arrested in Turkey and Morocco, got banned from the UK, and maybe(?) violated international sanctions. Finally, a psychotic break, addiction, and the dark art of conspiracy.
If you’re someone I met along the way and you’re thinking, “Wait, am I in this book?” Relax. Unless you committed a crime or did something genuinely insane, you’re probably fine.
If anything, I’m the one under the microscope. I still have no idea how much trouble I’ll be in with the government (let alone everyone else) for publishing this. I guess we’ll find out.
No, I won’t be doing interviews. Don’t ask.
I wrote this book to claw my way back to reality. I hope it helps you to do the same.
With nothing but love,
Lauren

@WalmartThomist Sad. Literally Romans 8 & Ephesians.
I don’t want to know how this experiment would play out elsewhere.
Quote scripture and attribute it to some polarizing figure and watch the cannibalism ensue.
@WalmartThomist Likelihood to alienate very devout Catholics who are not an encumbrance to the growth of the diocese?
Squashing the trad families is the equivalent of selling the cows that produce the most milk.
I’d be there but I’m in Raleigh. Ibet ours is next on the chopping block.
@RorateCaeli I have a cottage in Black Mountain, NC that I have to visit at least once a year to maintain it, my TLM was 30 minutes away in Marion, hard to without a card, but not impossible, now it will be an hour & 42 minutes away in Mooresville...I guess my pastoral care doesn't matter.
Why is it “not humble” for the Bishop of Rome to wear a crown, but admirable for Eastern bishops to wear crowns?
P.S. I am in favor of the Roman papal tiara.
Boomer apologist Jimmy Akin (@JimmyAkin3000) takes aim at rising YouTuber and genius scholastic Christian B. Wagner for challenging Akin’s flawed magisteriology.
Akin flexes his superior ‘experience’ and suggests Wagner may be autistic.
