@Old_But_Gold50s I think she's ready to duel the devil... (Paganini's Caprice #5 featured in the movie "Crossroads" - youtu.be/uu4xuYox2BI?si…)

An 18-year-old Japanese classical guitarist, Haruna Miyagawa, performs Niccolò Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, a technically demanding violin piece arranged for guitar, highlighting its sequence of variations and arpeggios in a contemporary concert hall setting.

The spiritual form of jumping the shark.

@RepOgles So the motto on the Great Seal (and coinage) of the United States is a lie?

Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.

@SenatorBanks @SenateGOP Maybe the issue isn’t his nationality but his driving? Or if we deport everyone undocumented do we never have another traffic accident?

This is insane. This is at least the 6th Hoosier killed by an illegal immigrant on Indiana roads since November. Meanwhile, Democrats are talking about cutting funding to ICE. It’s outrageous. We must deport them all now and get them off our roads!

@EricLDaugh Of course he moved the goalposts. The Holy Father's concerns are less about protecting our borders or managing immigration, than about the use of cruel, stupid, deadly, and criminal tactics against citizens and innocent people under the pretense of managing immigration.

🚨 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson responds to the Pope citing Matthew 23:35 to oppose Trump's deportations "Sovereign borders are Biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside."

@Tyler2ONeil Do not call yourself pro-family when you’re trying to destroy legal protection for certain families, and spreading lies about them in the process.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: A broad coalition of pro-family groups is organizing to overturn Obergefell. The campaign declares that children are "Greater Than" so-called "Equality." Marriage and family law should prioritize the needs of children, not the predilections of adults.

@RachelBitecofer Ruby Ridge?

Who wants to tell him?? Rubio: Look, I think regimes have learned that when you start shooting people in the head with snipers, it's effective. I mean, it works

@EdWhelanEPPC @HarmeetKDhillon Legal and financial aid to ensure low income people access to fair representation wasn’t a partisan or even controversial issue (at least pre-MAGA). Mr Whelan will certainly recognize this conservative jurist speaking at a celebration of a legal aid organization. Do you?

@HarmeetKDhillon If you have an actual argument to make, make it. You're just blowing smoke. Cite the ethical canon that you think overrides the specific advice from the Code of Conduct Committee that recusal isn't warranted.

Ed, do you have any clients? Do you actually practice law— in COURT? Serious question, related to this post.

@greg_price11 These people were not killed by the government, which is a material difference. "{V]iolence perpetrated by the state, using its structures and power, is not on the same level as that perpetrated by particular groups.” (Pope Francis - "Fratelli Tutti").

To this day, Jon Ossoff has never even so much as tweeted about Laken Riley.

Kristi Noem: "I don't know of any peaceful protestor that shows up armed and with ammunition..."

@LindseyGrahamSC Lying about a murder to cover it up is not a good thing, including under the law.

An armed man trying to impede a lawful arrest is a recipe for disaster. I expect law enforcement officers to use good judgement. But not to foolishly risk their lives or the lives of others. As to the recent tragic shooting in Minnesota where Border Patrol agents used deadly force against an armed protestor trying to impede a lawful arrest, it is a direct result of the heated rhetoric and over the top reaction toward ICE —who are simply trying to enforce the law in sanctuary cities. You have every right to protest and you have every right to disagree with President Trump. No one has the right to impede law enforcement officers carrying out their duties. If you go to such events with a loaded gun, bad things can happen. The facts will be fully investigated, but for me having been a defense attorney and prosecutor who’s been around law enforcement officers, you have to understand the extreme pressure that Border Patrol and ICE agents are under in sanctuary cities. These cities have willfully ignored federal law, creating massive fraud of benefits, a constant magnet for illegal immigration and a breakdown of law and order. I will be introducing legislation to end sanctuary state and city polices once and for all because they rip off the taxpayer and cause extreme danger for those trying to clean up the mess in these liberal cities.

@kevinnbass @AnnCoulter Maybe try “ICE is in Minneapolis (and Chicago ) because Trump won all the Midwest states except Minnesota and Illinois and he holds a grudge.”

23% of all ICE arrests occur in Texas 2.2% occur in Minnesota A 10-fold difference Yet far more ICE-related violence is happening in Minnesota Why? Because Democrats are promoting and provoking violence in Minnesota Democrats do not hate violence Violence is their goal

@FatherAltman If only there were a form of punishment so cruel, so painful, so exemplary that it would deter any sane person from questioning authority. Did you happen to learn of any such thing in your theological studies?

NO MORE MERCY, PERIOD. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. They who disturb the peace with their whistles and screaming, they who interfere with Law Enforcement, and they who resist arrest. NO MORE MERCY. PERIOD. HOW MANY TIMES do we have to say it before these criminal insurrectionists get what they ask for??? Will it take a brass knuckle to stop they who disturb the peace? Everyone who interferes with Law Enforcement should be crushed in the arrest and thrown in the Gulag. They are criminals and it is time to start treating them as such. BACK THE BLUE. NO MORE MERCY.

@BishopBarron I assume you are addressing this to the federal agents in your state whose anger is such that they enjoy counting the bullet holes in their victims?

“Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. What does anything belonging to this life matter, when compared with a peaceful heart?” —St. Francis de Sales

@megbasham Who was threatening any ICE officers? “I’m not mad at you” is not a threat…

@IngrahamAngle Do you ever just say something that isn’t for the purpose of mocking others?

Another, like, indictment of, like, education in America, and the ill-effects of, like…you know…too much social media.

How might Rev Dr Martin Luther King have responded to Bishop Robert Barron's flaccid appeals to both sides in response to the current crisis surrounding immigration in the US right now? @pjfahey shares timely words from MLK and Catholic doctrine. wherepeteris.com/what-martin-lu…

@BishopBarron Trump's "religious freedom" = ban on all immigrants who "don't like our religion."

I'm very grateful to President Trump for his declaration of religious liberty day. More than any other president in my lifetime, Trump has recognized the central importance of our “first freedom.” He understands that when religious liberty is threatened, all of our other freedoms are endangered. It has been an honor to serve on the President's Religious Liberty Commission, whose entire purpose is to propose ways in which this most precious of our freedoms might be defended and enhanced.

@BishopBarron First off, were you aware the corruption in Minnesota was under investigation already (before it got hijacked for partisan soundbites)? Second, could you apply this Catholic social teaching to the federal government also?

As we wrestle in my home state of Minnesota with the fact of deep corruption in the political and economic orders, I want to draw attention to the “social justice” dimension of this problem. Catholic social teaching has a good deal to say about official corruption, insisting that it undermines confidence in our leaders, compromises the integrity of the institutions of government, and subverts the rule of law. But even more importantly, it deeply harms the poor, stealing resources from them, increasing inequality, and blocking essential services such as health and education. And if the widespread fraud in Minnesota is also present in a number of other states, we are dealing with a massive violation of human rights and a heinous attack upon the poor and needy. This should not be a matter of partisan politics. Rather, wherever this corruption exists, it should be fought and those responsible for it brought to justice.
