I'm curious why there isn't a criminal referral on Adam Schiff. I don't see how the speech and debate clause applies to a private meeting wherein a conspiracy was hatched. GREGG JARRETT: Long-hidden documents reveal first Trump impeachment was a total fraud. foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-…

President Obama ordered a missile strike on December 17, 2009, in Yemen, killing over 41 civilians, including 21 children and 12 women, 5 of whom were pregnant. Democrats did not call this a war crime, nor did they try to remove him via the 25th Amendment.

Let me be clear. To all the so-called journalists from the @nytimes, @washingtonpost and @propublica, who have texted or emailed me in the last week asking me about what President Trump is planning and the details of the new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy, I have one thing to say: No. Over the last 11 years you and your companies have relentlessly libeled me, my family, the man I work for, and the values we stand for. You represent the worst of the wicked ideologies which have plagued decent people and our Republic for far too long. I care not one iota for your opinion or approval. And because your agenda is not the Truth, I will not assist you. My responsibility is solely to my family, the man who commissioned me, and the 78 million Americans who made him President. I owe those who fabricate lies nothing. That means you and all your ilk. @jacknicas @alanfeuer @MatinaStevis @ewong @jimtankersley @John_Hudson @HannahAllam

You stop it. If stopping it requires force, even lethal force, then the moral responsibility is not to wring your hands. It is to protect the innocent. Defending your country, your family, and your people can be justified, even if it means going to war. Not because war is good, but because allowing murder and tyranny to roam free is worse. Just War thinking, at its best, is the Church insisting that if you must fight, you must fight justly with discipline, with limits, and with moral clarity. It is the refusal to become what you are fighting. The Correction Catholic Men Need Let us say it plainly. Wimpy Catholicism is not Catholicism. It is a modern wimp wearing a crucifix. Men have been taught that being nice is holiness, that confrontation is unchristian, that strength is suspicious, and that the only safe virtue is softness. That is not the tradition. It is not Scripture. It is not the saints. The faith that built cathedrals, founded hospitals, converted nations, and produced martyrs was not powered by men afraid of conflict. It was powered by men who feared God more than they feared discomfort, and who knew that love sometimes looks like a shield, not a slogan. So yes, the passive misreadings need to be corrected. Not to make men cruel, but to make them clear. Not to make men violent, but to make them capable. Not to make men arrogant, but to make them steady. Because the world does not need more Catholics trained to flinch. It needs Catholics who can stand between evil and the innocent and say, without apology: Not here. Not today. Not while I still have breath." AMEN, 'Black Monk

A 2-Cup Coffee meditation... - -Misunderstandings Have Created Weak Catholic Men, By Black Monk Rosaries on FaceBook "Two common modern biblical misreadings have done real damage to Catholic men: first, the lazy notion that “turn the other cheek” means be a doormat; and second, the sloppy translation of Exodus 20:13 as “Thou shalt not kill,” which muddies the actual command: You shall not murder. And yes, those errors have consequences. They do not produce saints. They produce spinelessness dressed up as piety. The Cheek Slap in Jesus’ Day In Jesus’ world, a slap on the cheek was not “violence” the way we use the word today. It was public humiliation, a dominance move. Jesus gets even more specific. A strike on the right cheek implies a backhand. That was not just rude. It was the kind of insult that could carry a doubled fine because it was considered a severe public assault on dignity. So what does Jesus say to do? Not to stand there and take it forever. He says to turn the other cheek. That move is not submission. It is defiance with restraint. Turning the left cheek refuses the shaming script. It forces the aggressor to choose: either stop, or escalate in a way that treats the other person not as a lesser, but as an equal. A palm strike is not how you smack a subordinate. It is how you strike someone you are willing to recognize as a peer. In plain terms, you do not cower. You deny them the power to degrade you. Your honor is not granted by the bully. It comes from somewhere higher, and you act like it. Yet Christians have managed to misread this into a spirituality of total passivity, as if holiness means quietly absorbing abuse, never resisting wrongdoing, never confronting evil, and never defending the innocent. That is not meekness. That is moral paralysis, and it has been sold to men as virtue for far too long. But that reading does not fit the Jewish moral universe Jesus spoke within. Judaism teaches that preserving life, pikuach nefesh, is a supreme duty, and stopping harm is an obligation. “Turn the other cheek” is about insult and domination tactics. It teaches dignity, self-control, and refusal to retaliate — not submission to actual violence. Exodus 20:13: The Hebrew Did Not Stutter Exodus 20:13 says: לֹא תִּרְצָח (Lo tirtsach) — You shall not murder. The verb רָצַח (ratsach) is not a blanket ban on all killing. It condemns killing marked by malice, treachery, and injustice the shedding of innocent blood. It is a command to uphold the sanctity of life, not to surrender it through cowardice or confusion. If “Thou shalt not kill” meant all killing without exception, then how did the Hebrews fight wars? How did Israel defend itself? How did David fight Goliath? The Old Testament is filled with warfare, commanded at times by God Himself. Either Scripture contradicts itself, or the commandment has been misunderstood. The Hebrew did not stutter. The prohibition is against murder not against justice, not against defense, not against protecting the innocent. Just War: Not Dogma, a Moral Framework Here is where modern minds get sloppy again. Catholics hear “Just War” and assume it is either a triumphant permission slip or a concept that is automatically un-Christian. It is neither. Just War is not a doctrine you “believe” like the Trinity, and it is not dogma you recite like a creed. It is a moral framework a set of guardrails meant to help fallen human beings navigate a fallen world. It exists because real life is not a children’s book where every villain twirls a mustache and every hero wins without blood. The world is not simple. It is not clean. It is messy. Sometimes the choices are not good versus evil, but evil versus worse evil. In that kind of world, refusing to resist aggression is not holiness. It can be complicity. If evil men invade, slaughter, rape, and burn, you do not fix that with slogans. End part 1 of 2

I don't trust anybody from Chicago. Where have you been now and over the years, calling out that city's poor leadership for the daily slaughter of Chicagoans, especially children?! Where were you in calling out Joe Biden & the myriad of #Democrats for fake Catholicism, using it as a vote-getting ploy, especially Biden's transparent abuse of his Faith to get votes? If I were Pope, I would have made them go to Confession first. I would have sent them back to the states with a sealed letter directing all Catholic Bishops to deny them Sacraments until they publicly refuted support for abortion, pulled funding from Planned Parenthood, and castigated atheistic Democrats. Where have you been in gutting Catholic Charities, a front organization for atheist employees and their demonic opinions? I used to praise that organization until I found out how rotten it had become via the infiltration of non-believer employees. It's no longer Catholic! Where have you been in calling out China for its systematic elimination and "reeducation" of its Uyghur (Muslim) minority? If Uyghur families survive the reeducation experience, they then must endure a CCP overseer embedded in the family's home for a period of time to ensure that they really are reeducated as CCP loyalists. But during that time with them, he is free to rape the wives and daughters as he deems necessary, often in the presence of the family's males, as corrective discipline. Where have you been in addressing the similar mistreatment of China's Tibetan minority? There, the Chinese have installed their own personal choice for the next divinely inspired Dalai Lama to lead their people (the real Dalai Lama has been leading from exile in France). At the same time, the Chinese took 850,000 children from their parents to attend reeducation camps outside of Tibet (sound like a familiar Communist tactic? The Russians have done the same thing to Ukrainian children, taking them into Russia). And finally, where have you been in rightly calling this a "Just War"? You have a terrorist Iranian government that routinely murders its own people, including gang rapes of women prisoners, who will sacrifice their own people rather than concede, and who are quite literally Hell-bent on the destruction of the rest of the world. The NCCB (National Council of Catholic Bishops) is likewise rotten to its core. We're approaching another time in the history of your Church when small pockets of Catholics throughout the world, loyal to the teachings of the Magisterium, will have to go underground to practice their Faith. And I didn't even get into China's forced organ harvesting and fentanyl pipeline, or North Korea's brutalization and starvation of their people, or the suppression of Catholicism in American Catholic universities, and on and on. There are so many valid reasons for you to take a stand. Anti-Trumpism isn't one of them. Many non-Catholic Christians believe that the Anti-Christ will trigger the Revelation through the Catholic Church. Your silence is complicity. You are validating their fears.

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

NEW: Obama, Eric Holder, Soros, and House Democrat Leadership Attempt Midterm Coup in Virginia Barack Hussein Obama @BarackObama is teaming up with his lifelong buddies Eric Holder, George Soros, and House Democratic leadership to push forward a referendum set to take place on April 21st in Virginia. This would redraw the state’s congressional districts to give Democrats significantly more seats heading into the midterm elections. In a video that is playing constantly in Virginia, Barack Obama claims President Trump is attempting to rig the upcoming midterm elections. He says the only way to “Stop Trump” is to vote yes on Virginia’s newly redistricted maps on April 21st: “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now they’re under threat… In April, Virginians can respond by making sure your voting power is not diminished by what Republicans are doing in other states. This amendment gives you the power to level the playing field in the midterms this fall. And voters will have the final say over what the maps look like. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election,” Obama says in the video. Obama’s Virginia ad is paid for by Virginians for Fair Elections, which is funded by Eric Holder’s @EricHolder National Democratic Redistricting Committee and House Democratic leadership members, including Whip Katherine Clark @WhipKClark. The receipts in the thread below show just how eye-opening the money trail is. WATCH 👇🏻

Follow the money. §2384. Seditious conspiracy If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. This is about counting non-citizens in the census & stealing House seats, the electoral college, & elections. They're deporting Democrat voters, and the DOJ is stopping the fraud money from flowing to Democrat reelection campaigns & pockets. I voted for this. The dirty little secret is that Democrats have no plans to make any of these illegals citizens. They count them in the census and falsify their votes in elections. That's why Democrats oppose Voter ID. Real voter suppression is canceling out the votes of people who obey the law with those who shouldn't be voting, or by mail-in ballots that appear in the middle of the night & break for one candidate.
