If one reads the letters of barely literate Civil War soldiers, they are poignant and deep. That is the strength of “X”. Distant souls may fully interface without the barriers of flesh and blood. That exchange is riskier, but if mutual, even more rewarding.

@MarindaVannoy1 @TaibbiKirnfan Free advice is generally worth exactly what you pay for it! 🤷🏻🙄 Good evening, @MarindaVannoy1 👋

Never take advice from someone with less ambition than you. Never listen to anyone who isn’t financially, emotionally, or physically where you want to be in life. They’ve already given up on themselves; they only know how to be compliant, and misery loves company.

@Rogerinhawaii @miles_commodore Agreed, but my point is that going to college without some idea of what you want to do in life is NOT a prerequisite for success. Quite the contrary in my opinion. There are many highly educated people paying off MBA tuition by being uber drivers!

@GoodSlainte68 @miles_commodore That only works if the person is genuinely interested in some trade. People generally don't think, "Hmm, what job/career makes the best money? I'll go for that, in spite of the fact that I have no interest in that job/career".

I still say for most kids the way to go is Community college for 2 years and pay as you go. Get your Associates and transfer to a state school. You literally graduate paying 25K or less. You don't need Democrat handouts. Just a plan.

@njoyzgrl81 @Spooks Plenty

Are there enough good men left?

@ShannonMFHill It also doesn't know who is Pope. Neither Chat not Grok get it right very often. Try it and see!

I don’t think we have to worry about AI taking over the world in the near future when it doesn’t even know that Pam Bondi was the AG.

@Geniustechw @SoCalGuy47 Bueller

If you know what movie this picture is from I will follow you?

@HoferFranc81507 @UcheMaryOkoli And more every day. Thank you, I think you have just made my point. Mankind was fine with the Apostlic Faith for 1500 years. Once Luther decided to glean his own truth, you guys ran the well maintained Truth bus up over the curb…now it has 40,000 dents. 🤷🏻😂

The Catholic Church has never been wrong.

@ElaineAryn You can't properly fulfill the 2nd of the 2 greatest Commandments if you hate yourself. Unrealized self loathing is a common condition among hateful people, as evidenced by inane violent protests. Consequently, they don't even know how to love their neighbor.

The more a person likes themself the better they will treat you I know this should be obvious but it doesn’t seem like most people understand it Lots of people lowkey hate themselves

@Noirchick1 Of course.

In 1946, at the age 21, he was arrested for a youthful night of "making trouble" during a night of drinking at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Recognize him?

@ElaineAryn More than you can possibly imagine! Fr. Rippinger was asked where Satan was most active. He said in good, intact, practicing Catholic families! This is absolutely true. @ElaineAryn

The devil worked really hard last week on intimate relationships. I got a message from a client, they and their spouse who are otherwise totally rock solid had a crazy crazy fight but were fine like 24 hours later. A rosary was broken in the process. The family recovered at Easter mass together I’ve heard a number of these sorts of stories about last week in particular and no doubt it’s the evil one doing what he loves - trying to destroy love union and creation

@cecegkh Why? What have you heard? 🫣😂 @cecegkh

@GoodSlainte68 You’re so bad 🤣🤣

This is hilarious, but I would have d!ed had one of my students done this to me! Let’s just say, I am glad that I came along during the time that pictures had to be sent off the be developed and yearbooks weren’t that big of a deal. 😂😂

@fr_james1 Powerful post @fr_james1 I hope you had a nice Easter and a decent dinner. 😉

Truth….COMPLETE TRUTH+++!!!

@itsmorganariel Yes, it's when Sola Scriptura was born as an alternative to 1500 years of apostolic succession. Matching wits with Satan over the 775,000 words of Scripture is a dicey proposition. He laughs, manipulating them, then watching us fight. @itsmorganariel

Christianity was perverted at the time of the schism. Catholicism led to Protestantism. If the church never split there wouldn’t be hundreds of different denominations in Christianity today.

@MS2PZ @AprilSpark1890 Air conditioning.

What was "Fancy" to you as a kid

@njoyzgrl81 @CrazyCactusAZ2 I once heard a priest say that the Church has become like a messy kid’s room. Mom tells him over and over that if he doesn't clean it up, she will. Sooner or later she is headed upstairs with a big garbage bag. @njoyzgrl81 Well…

@CrazyCactusAZ2 Rule in my house: I ask once. If it’s not done, I put their stuff in a contractor bag and they had to buy it back.

@realMaalouf @WyndhamMadison On the roof.

Trans man in Germany converted to Islam, changed his name to Fatima, and is now looking for a migrant Muslim boyfriend. How will this story end?

@ShaneSchaetzel He, like the rest of us, is a flawed man, but a proven great leader. His outburst was: A) Foolish and beneath his office… OR B) The staged threat of a clever man to appear crazed with anger enough to get thru to the Iraninan people? I’m going with B👍

Trump posted this 👇🏻 on Easter Morning. Following his touching address sharing the gospel on Saturday, he followed with this. 👇🏻 I’ve said this many times, and I’m saying it again now. Trump is not Jewish (as some people say) and he is only very nominally a Christian. His personal faith advisor is Evangelical, but many Evangelicals would have nothing to do with her. Trump himself, rarely ever goes to church, but when he does it’s usually an Episcopal church near Mar-A-Lago. It is highly doubtful he reads the Bible. Whatever Christianity Trump is getting, it’s being spoon fed to him by others, and some of those aren’t good examples themselves.

@ElaineAryn Give it a minute.

Observation: I've only had alcohol one day in the past two weeks and not today - I'm way "meaner" sober.
