@DreyfusJames @BBC Next documentary: do we really need to be eating all this ham?

“What do you think? Has it all gone a bit too far?” The only thing that’s “gone a bit too far” is the BBC’s fervent desire to convince us that there are “too many dog-friendly spaces.” So here’s what I think, if you really want my opinion, @BBC Fuck off with your gaslighting.

@stevec0471 @nicolelampert @realzoestrimpel @FiLiA_charity @tabletmag Do you want to write the piece for her? And you don't want it to be about feminism at all? How about you write your own damn article?

@nicolelampert @realzoestrimpel @FiLiA_charity @tabletmag Are u doing a piece on the right to hang prisoners including children by Israel, u sickos

I was telling @realzoestrimpel about the fight over Zionism as @FiLiA_charity and she explained similar had happened in the past. This piece we’ve written together for @tabletmag is the result of dozens of interviews with feminist heroines as we tried to pick apart what is it about Jews that has the power to divide the movement. tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

@realsashastone Much like in the Soviet Union, the bigger the lie the better. It shows loyalty to affirm something absurd.

The question remains as to why educated people who see themselves as "experts" would go along with the lie of "no kings" or that Trump is a dictator or a fascist when these protests are living proof of the opposite.

I saw a post from a friend who attended the cherry Blossom Festival this past weekend and it was such a palate cleanser. After seeing all these angry mostly elderly mostly women screaming and waving signs it was so nice to see people enjoying themselves.

@Shawn_Farash @instapundit They're tripping so hard on adrenal overload there's really no discussion possible. Many are boomers who grew up during the civil rights movement and this is their great final sunset gift to the world. Using their great protest skills one more time for Gaia.

I don't know who needs to hear this but... If we had a "king" in the US we wouldn't be fighting with squishy John Thune to pass the Save America Act. Anyone who believes Trump is behaving like a "king" is clueless

@sunnyright They want power either in the hands of a charismatic leader that agrees with them or a bureau of experts. Which of course would agree with them because, after all, they're experts.

The “No Kings” people support passing legislation to ensure that no current or future president can have so much power, right? To permanently restore the presidency to its far more limited role? Right? Or do they just want a king with a different political ideology?

@SamSamS22448514 @realsashastone "Caring" that does more harm than good is not necessarily useful for anyone. And when the damage became apparent anyone who pointed that out was told they didn't care enough. So it's a useless concept at best, a dangerous one at worst. It is self-righteousness, nothing more.

@braversdavers @realsashastone You just made my point for me. The left cared about a vulnerable demographic so they made a policy change with the intention of helping them. The change didn't have the intended effect but the intention was there, we were talking about caring not competence.

The reason the Right doesn't gather and protest like the Left is that narcissism is at the root of those protests. They do it so they can then show it off on social media. The Right tends to be less narcissistic.

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 You should've left it at the first sentence. You couldn't do it, went right back into politics.

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 If it’s a spiritual battle the focus should be on the gospel. Not focusing on if it’s right vs left or political talking points while attacking those that are against the obvious evil that the Zionists, terrorists, corrupt politicians or whoever perpetrate

Statement regarding Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller   In recent days, I have become aware of the removal of Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller from the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission, along with the public accusations that have followed. After reviewing her account and the circumstances surrounding this matter, I believe it is necessary to speak plainly.   Ms. Boller has been treated unjustly.   A Catholic woman, speaking from a well-formed conscience and in fidelity to the teachings of the Church, has been publicly criticized and removed – yet no clear, substantiated reason has been provided. Such a lack of transparency does not serve justice. It damages reputations and undermines trust.   More troubling still is the apparent cause: that she raised legitimate questions about Zionism and defended the simple truth that Catholics are not bound to any political ideology.   Let me be clear.   The Catholic Church does not teach that the modern State of Israel holds a divine mandate that must be supported by all believers. Nor does the Church teach that opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic. These are not doctrines of the Catholic faith.   At the same time, the Church unequivocally rejects all hatred toward the Jewish people. Every human person is to be loved, defended, and treated with dignity. But this truth must not be distorted. To question the policies or actions of a modern nation – any nation – is not hatred. It is a moral responsibility when innocent life is at stake.   We are witnessing great suffering in the Holy Land. Innocent men, women, and children – especially in Gaza – have endured immense devastation. To speak on behalf of human life, wherever it is threatened, is not political extremism. It is fidelity to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.   Mrs. Boller did what many are now afraid to do: she spoke.   She spoke for Catholics who are increasingly pressured to conform to political narratives that do not reflect the fullness of our faith. She spoke to ensure that antisemitism is not wrongly conflated with legitimate moral concern. She spoke for the dignity of all human life – Jew and Palestinian alike.   For this, she has been mischaracterized.   It is especially disheartening when such treatment appears to come, in part, from those within the Church who should be the first to defend the faithful when they speak truthfully and in good conscience. Shepherds are called to protect, not to abandon; to clarify, not to confuse; to stand with the sheep, especially when they are under attack.   Silence in the face of injustice is not prudence. It is a failure of charity and truth. Therefore, I express my support for Mrs. Carrie Prejean Boller.   I affirm her right, as a Catholic and as an American, to speak clearly about matters of faith, morality, and public life without being unjustly labeled or removed without explanation. I also call for greater clarity and fairness from those responsible for her removal, so that truth – not speculation – may prevail.   This moment calls for courage.   Not political courage, but Christian courage – the kind that stands firmly in truth while remaining rooted in charity. We must reject hatred in all its forms, but we must also reject the misuse of that charge to silence those who speak in defense of life and moral truth.   Let us pray for peace in the Holy Land – for Jews, for Palestinians, and for all who suffer. And let us pray for the Church, that she may always speak with clarity, charity, and unwavering fidelity to Jesus Christ, who is the Truth.   In Christ, Bishop Joseph E. Strickland

@SamSamS22448514 @realsashastone I'll give you an example. The left 'cared' about single mothers so much that they offered extra benefits to women who stayed single and had more kids. They created generations of fatherless children.

@braversdavers @realsashastone I don't know how you can honestly look at both sides and come away thinking the right cares more about other people and society at large.

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 If it is a spiritual battle the focus should be on preaching the gospel. Not attacking Jerusalem. Or Damascus or Mogadishu.

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Yes but again little sheep ask yourself why these terrorists stick around and are then given positions of power. You’re seeing this from a political perspective idc about right or left. I see this as a spiritual battle that’s why you’re lost. Let the shepherd guide you home

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Both have recently been attacked by the Trump administration. Are you saying Trump did good here?

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Would love to have Al Shabab and Boko Haram eliminated, next question little guy

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Who's gonna do it? The same nonexistent army that is going to conquer Jerusalem?

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 All right here's another one: some of the worst persecution of Christians today is happening in Africa at the hands of Boko Haram and Al Shabab. Do you have a plan for that also?

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 You’re so obsessed with this now this is funny, keep asking them questions little guy

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Jesus said Christians would be persecuted, I don't know why you find that strange. Other than your rather blatant unfamiliarity with scripture and Christian doctrine.

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 I mean either way Christians are being persecuted and suppressed little guy, and I’m not okay with that whether it’s from Jews or Muslims. You’re thinking we want old school crusades when in reality it would just be an extension of the current Vatican 😂

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 And who would lead this attack on Jerusalem? The pope? He doesn't even want to attack Iran. Would he then be OK with attacking surrounding Muslim nations that would certainly not approve of this?

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 And in current Christian eschatology we believe Jesus will call “all nations” back to Jerusalem. So if you want to say Jerusalem belongs to only the Jews you’re now following pro Zionist ideology that I can’t jibe with

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Oh now you're quoting Isaiah, who says over and over that the Jews would be returned to Israel. And either case it happens after Messiah returns. The gospel right now is the preaching of the resurrection of the dead.

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Then you admit there's nothing in scripture. And Jews aren't the primary danger to Christians it's Islam. In either case you would need to do something with the Jews wouldn't you? Relocation? Extermination? What's your plan for that? Then war with Muslims?

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 You asked me a question on what my solution would be and I answered little guy, neither Muslims or Jews have been particularly nice to Christians so yes I’d like to see a New Greater Jerusalem to protect them and stop them from being suppressed in the Middle East.

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 If you just stopped after the word 'light' I would agree with that. But you had to get a slam in there. For someone who claims to have super accurate news sources, you sure gravitate toward Hamas talking points.

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 I ultimately believe in the word of Jesus which promises salvation for both Gentiles and Jews. They’ll eventually see the light but their claim to being the only of Gods chosen people and to commit heinous acts under that guise is wrong and to defend that is pathetic

@Austin_K_7 @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 iIn both Jewish and Christian eschatology there will not be an earthly kingdom until the Messiah establishes it. Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world. If you want to say Jerusalem should be conquered there are some big questions you need to answer. Starting with by whom?

@braversdavers @strxwmxn @BishStrick @CarriePrejean1 Their whole claim to the land comes from being Gods chosen people but tell me who’s Gods chosen people after Jesus? Is it just them? Note: “Who accept him and follow his teachings” Do they currently follow his teachings and accept him? Ahh little sheep just come back to the flock
