(Confessional) Priest: What are your sins? Me: There's a priest on Twitter I don't follow. Priest: (sighs heavily) That's a mortal sin, son.

@FatherChrisVor1 @AuditeInsulae What I'm trying to say is that you need to understand the moment. All of this Just War talk is like a Polish priest bringing up Just War objections on September 8, 1939. Different times call for different emphases.

@FatherChrisVor1 @AuditeInsulae Please stop. We're getting killed out here. We don't need to hear our clergy doing some kind of "Well, akshually" meme. They did that for over 20 years in Britain and abandoned 100K white British girls to their fates because they were white. It's still happening across Europe.

@AuditeInsulae A much bigger point for me is that his current continent is in the middle of an invasion by an imperialistic and incompatible enemy, but he can't see it. This is like a Polish priest arguing Just War theology on September 8, 1939.

@FatherChrisVor1 @AuditeInsulae That works until it doesn't. When it doesn't, you won't go running to the AWFLs that populate your parish offices, you'll be running around looking for the men of the laity to protect you.

@AuditeInsulae It’s actually a very interesting question. I think Christians participating in modern military activity can almost always be risky to their souls.

@VickieforNYC @TheLastRefuge2 My sense is they will lose all the people who maintain those buildings, they will crumble, and the real estate will become worthless.

Let's understand a few things about what's actually about to happen here if Zohran gets his way -- which he almost certainly will, unless courts intervene. First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA 'organizers' will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners. Accordingly, the city buildings department will be weaponized to begin writing as many violations as possible in order to bolster the city's effort to justify a seizure. It won't matter how small or large the violations are, the total number will be breathlessly cited as evidence of mismanagement. It will be impossible for landlords to clear these violations in good faith. The combination of a weaponized buildings department writing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, rent strikes, and constant threats and harassment against landlords by militant activists will make the situation untenable for any property owner to realistically fight back, and the city will seize the property. The landlord will be lucky to walk away without prison or being beaten to death in the street by an angry mob (as Zohran's buddy Hasan Piker referred to landlords -- 'let the streets run red with their capitalist blood'). But that's only the first half of the plan, and everyone needs to pay very close attention to the big picture here, because it's hugely important and has national implications. The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran's DSA-connected nonprofits with a multbillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets -- New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario. As it stands now, the nonprofits depend mostly on the largesse of grants, donations, and other third-party resources to stay afloat. They are lavishly funded of course, and many do hold significant assets, but it would all pale in comparison to simply handing them the keys to a New York City real estate empire, courtesy of Zohran Mamdani and the DSA. The resources at their disposal would be immense. The organizing potential that goes along with those resources will have national implications. Every DSA candidate in every town and city in the country would be trained, funded, and staffed by organizers with ties to the NYC nonprofit empire backed by a trillion dollars in free real estate. And they would be shameless in leveraging those resources for pure political power. That's the game plan here. That's the whole ball of wax. Zohran isn't interested in making housing better for anyone. If he was, we'd be talking seriously about solving the NYCHA disaster. Hell, if he was even remotely sincere about seizing these properties from 'bad landlords' for the 'public good' he'd be focused on turning them over to the city itself, as misguided as that would be. No, this is about nothing more than consolidating political power for the DSA. Just like everything else these people do. Giving the DSA a massive war chest backed by seized real estate. Once you understand that they have no interest in fixing anything other than elections, it all makes a lot more sense.

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

As someone whose family fled socialism for America, I utterly detest and hate anyone who supports Marxist or socialist ideas. You have no idea what real oppression and total government control mean—but we do. That is why Cubans, North Koreans, Russians, Vietnamese, and Chinese who fled persecution are warning you that socialism is an idealistic, utopian fantasy that has never worked. Socialist governments are oppressive by nature, and we must fiercely resist and fight the socialist takeover unfolding in New York City. OPPOSE AND FIGHT MAMDANI!

Do you actually think these two are going after slumlords? The white middle class is their enemy. Don’t take my word for it. Take Cea Weaver’s.👇

James Talarico: “I trust women to make decisions about their own bodies. I don’t think that’s a place for government. That’s a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion.”

🇬🇧 A teenage boy was hacked to death with a machete in Hackney, East London A large fight broke out after a house party spilled onto the streets in Hackney last night.

Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress
Jake Auchincloss is essentially endorsing Susan Collins in Maine. Absolutely no excuse for a Democrat in the House to back a Republican for Senate in a crucial swing seat. Auchincloss should be primaried. His primary election is September 1 in a safe, D+11 seat.

In an interview with CNN on Monday, Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) says he finds Graham Platner's tattoo disqualifying and hopes Maine voters agree with him Auchincloss: “I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.” #MaineSenate

1/ As an Anglican clergy convert, I was given piles of Church documents that covered 1,900 years, and I was told I had to accept them. Now, when I support those documents, I'm seen as the problem.
