27 followers from 17 in one day. Folks, that’s a trend. The law of large numbers have yet to catch up with me lol That said, everyone have a great weekend. I’m going to touch grass. Go to mass. Raise money for Saint Vincent de Paul. Touch grass again.

I feel like the pope derangement syndrome online is settling down. This is good.

@RealCandaceO You’re so far over skis, love. This is not your business. You’re not the widow. Seek peace. Or help.

A lot of people are wondering why/how Erika Kirk has a “right” to a speedy trial. Yes, constitutionally that right is guaranteed to defendants however Erika is listed as the Victim of this case, and Utah has its own set of state victims’ rights. Erika filed a motion for a speedy trial under state laws on January 16th.

@cenkuygur @marklevinshow It’s Friday night. Take some time. You’re not going to solve this online.

Trump put out post saying Israel was prohibited from bombing Lebanon. They had already agreed to a ceasefire and he was trying to look tough, as if he ordered it. Then his boss, @marklevinshow complained because, of course, Israel is not going to abide by any ceasefire. Now, US officials have walked back Trump's statement apologetically and bow slavishly before Israel's war machine. They say Israel has a right to continue bombing defensively. Hilarious. What does that mean? It means obviously they'll continue bombing. In other words, "Shut up, Donald! Who do you think you are? Kneel to Israel!" And, of course, he did.

@RichardHanania I’m sure this book will be excellent but also depressing lol

Kash features prominently in my upcoming book. richardhanania.com/p/new-book-fou…

The Atlantic reports that Kash Patel is drinking so heavily that meetings need to be rescheduled and his security detail has trouble waking him up. At one point, they had to request SWAT team equipment because he wouldn't answer the door. Some think that his drinking is responsible for major blunders like when he put out inaccurate information about the Charlie Kirk investigation. With the war in Iran, government officials are wondering what happens if there's a terrorist attack and he's too drunk to respond. Patel fired members of a counterterrorism squad working partly on Iran, and instead spends his time demanding that FBI merchandise look more "fierce." Asked to comment, he threatens to sue the reporters. Kakistocracy. Learn that word.

@RealAlexJones Calling someone a teenager after your Sandy Hook grift seems like you’re not the type of person that will find any evidence other than you consistently voted for the wrong person. Your instincts failed you. I think it’s that simple.

MAGA IS DEAD and TRUMP KILLED IT!! Two hours after Trump publicly ordered Israel not to attack Lebanon and after he again declared victory the cease-fire was broken when Israel began bombing and shelling Lebanon. It all unfolded just as I a Joe Kent predicted today..

@Catholicizm1 Do not have enemies in faith.

The Catholic media civil war is going to get very interesting. People I formerly considered friends and allies are going to become enemies.

@AnnCoulter I don’t like to think about Trump having sex tbh.

I don't think Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. But hard to argue with the other points.

@mtracey This is one story I’m not sure why you care. But we’re all different.

The unspecified "threats" impeding her travel went away?

@TCNetwork You have to make the sign of the cross for it to count. I don’t make the rules.

Russell Brand begins our conversation with a prayer. Get his new book “How to Become a Christian in 7 Days” on TuckerCarlsonBooks.com.

@Nero 😂

People don’t realize what a romantic this guy is. Love is the red thread running through all his content. He loves hard, and that can be hard to hear and hard to receive.

@RealAlexJones @wsoul13x I think what’s so painful for you is that you supported Trump after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. You blame foreign agents for your wrong choices. That’s what losers do.

@wsoul13x Trump just went too crazy

🚨🚨This is my response to the new attack President Trump launched on myself and other sane America patriots today. The evidence is overwhelming President Trump is committing political suicide on purpose, and has made a deal to sabotage the midterms.. America is now under the control of a foreign government. Everyone needs to fly their flags upside down, because our nation is in distress!🚨🚨

@cenkuygur You listen to Eurovision?

Some of the top artists in the world have signed a letter saying Isarel should be included in Eurovision because music brings people together. That's precisely why Israel shouldn't be included. They're a rogue nation refusing to cooperate with the rest of the world, but now they want us to listen to them sing? No, thank you! Also, what happened to being indigenous to the Middle East for 3,000 years? So, are you Middle Eastern or European? What kind of bullshit is this? Israel should be shunned and shamed, until they stop commiting genocides and they free the Palestinians. Until then, I could give a fuck about some celebrity's feelings.

@Cernovich You guys done with that whole pope thing?

The pro-war people can claim they were right and the panicans were wrong again. The anti-war can claim their pushback helped bring the war to the end. Great. Everyone was right. Now let’s try to not lose the midterms.

@joelmowbray @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow There are innumerable takes on not supporting the Iran war (I won’t bother you with mine) but the outline he uses is more indicative of someone that has serious problems with Jewry as a whole.

@joelmowbray @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow His Oswald Mosley comments were a true sign to me that his anti-war rhetoric was not that of an altruistic pacifist, but a man that has drifted to the dark shadows of judgment.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Tucker Carlson won't say that Hitler murdered 6 million Jews. Based on my own long ago conversation with him, this isn't some weird fluke. Tucker simply doesn't believe the Nazis slaughtered six million Jews. So, is Tucker a Holocaust denier? Yesterday, Tucker said that "the Nazi government murdered... a whole bunch of Jews," but stressed that this was "in addition to a whole bunch of other people." He expressed outrage that Jewish victims of Hitler receive so much attention because they were "only... one specific ethnicity" murdered by the Nazis. Last month, Tucker told Clayton Morris, "Hitler killed a ton of people, including a ton of Jews." Despite extensive research, I could not find a single example of Tucker acknowledging the extraordinarily well-documented fact that six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. Which brings me to a private conversation Tucker and I had maybe 15 years ago, one which I had written off at the time — but in hindsight, probably shouldn't have. (We've never been close, but would chat if we ran into each other.) For some reason, I think because I had just toured Yad Vashem, I mentioned to him how mind-boggling it is that the Nazis murdered six million Jews. Tucker shot me a strange look, almost incredulous. Sarcastically, I quipped, "You’re not one of those nutjobs who don't believe that six million Jews died, are you?" Instead of a jabbing back or acting indignant, Tucker responded, "I mean, whatever, Hitler killed a bunch of different people." It was awkward, enough so that I dropped it and quickly exited the conversation. I've thought about that a few times over the years, but couldn't bring myself to the idea that Tucker was any sort of a Holocaust denier. Now, though? The most charitable interpretation is that he's not bothered by people who downplay or minimize what the Nazis did specifically to the Jews. But by continually refusing to acknowledge that Hitler killed six million Jews, that at least borders on Holocaust denial. Even Megyn Kelly recognized that denying the full scope of what Hitler did to the Jews IS a form of Holocaust denial, at least before she became Tucker's self-appointed guardian. In her now-infamous show in front of a live audience last November, Megyn pressed him about why he "didn't raise" with Nick Fuentes his ongoing contention "that we’ve way overstated the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust." Tucker responded, "Buzz off!" The likelihood that Tucker, at least to some significant degree, is a Holocaust denier is reinforced by something else he said last month to Clayton Morris. He bizarrely claimed that Hitler hadn't "ever" called to "exterminate" the Jews, despite ample historical evidence that he (and Nazi leadership) had done exactly that. Even more shocking is that he said this as part of his argument that Hitler's rhetoric wasn't as extreme as — wait for it — Bibi Netanyahu's. Then, of course, there's the viral story that I broke last November regarding Tucker's warning that "calling people Nazis" could make people become like Dietrich Bonhoeffer — specifically that it was tragic that the Lutheran pastor had been involved in plotting to assassinate Hitler. During the middle of World War II and the Holocaust, to be clear. Like most people who have known Tucker — who is incredibly charming and often warm in person — it took me a very long time to realize that how dark some of his views truly are. But look again at just this partial track record: (1) refusing to state that Hitler murdered six million Jews, (2) denying that Hitler had ever called to exterminate the Jews, (3) insisting that Bibi's rhetoric is worse than Hitler’s, and (4) that attempting to assassinate Hitler during WWII was un-Christian and just wrong. Maybe any one of those could be explained away. But all of them together? Because, make no mistake, Tucker knows exactly what he's doing. That is probably what's scariest of all.

@ScottMGreer @JackPosobiec The pope derangement syndrome will plateau and pass. These posts and articles will look silly and trivial in the near future.

New Chronicles Column The president is apparently at war with the pope. This may surprise modern observers, even though it was common in the past for heads of state to fight with the vicar of Christ. While Leo is supposed to be a non-political figure, he and his bishops have chosen to be political, particularly on immigration. That makes a battle with Trump inevitable chroniclesmagazine.org/web/the-presid…

@ggreenwald Who ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani?

Trump is trying hard to surpass Ted Cruz in the competition for who tweets most about Tucker Carlson. Since both of them just take orders from Tel Aviv, it's not as if either has much else to do.

@FischerKing64 @Cernovich Getting dressed down Eldridge Colby is criticism. It’s silly.

People have always criticized the Pope. You can think of the emergence of religious orders as criticisms of the Church. The Franciscans/Dominicans emerged as protest movements that the Pope managed to keep in the fold through granting them a certain amount of autonomy.

@Pontifex I love that you’re online as much as me 😍

The Catholic University can form pioneers of a new humanism in the context of the digital revolution. This is a service to the truth and to all humanity. Without this demanding educational effort, passive adaptation to dominant paradigms will be mistaken for competence, and the loss of freedom for progress. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
