@BreeSolstad Wonderful. Me too. I just hit 7 years in May. I’m grateful.

Today is my anniversary. Seven years ago, I downed an entire bottle of vodka and, without going into details, hit rock bottom.
The very next day, I went to my first AA meeting and checked myself in to an outpatient rehab program. Clean & sober ever since.
God is great!

@DrunkRepub American architecture is horrible. Aside from some amazing churches built in the 1800s, none of it is that great. We have some sky scrapers, which are amazing, but not really beautiful.
Now all we build is strip malls.
Picture of the Kremlin.

Architect: “What style did you have in mind?”
Obama: “Like a brutalist dystopian warlord hideout. You know, hopelessness and loss.”
Architect: “Say no more fam.”

@southevropa Messi is amazing and is a far better box to box player. Ronaldo in his prime was an offensive machine but basically sits on the grass when he doesn’t have the ball. They have very different games, both are amazing in their own way, but Messi is the best player of his generation.

Research proves that if you’re a Messi fan you’re gay
The Touchline | 𝐓@TouchlineX
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: According to a university study, people who prefer Lionel Messi are more likely to have LEFT-WING political views, while people who prefer Cristiano Ronaldo are more likely to have RIGHT-WING political views. The study found that Messi fans are generally more progressive and analytical, while Ronaldo fans are generally more conservative and place a higher value on authority. — Social Science Research Network, via @lequipe.

@piersmorgan @robsmithonline Every human heart is capable of evil. To wish to see a woman weep after losing a child is evil.
I don’t want to see Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or any woman bury their child.
As a Christian, I believe I am in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
English
How can anyone still support this Israeli govt when psychopathic monsters like Ben Gvir are ministers in it, advocating genocide in Lebanon? Disgusting.

על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור! עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר. אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.

@ggreenwald Don’t send Israel another dime or weapon and we will see how long the tough talk lasts.
The current government is evil, and we shouldn’t fund evil. Yes, I know US commits many evil acts too and I want those to all stop as well.

Israel loyalists picked a bad day to feign outrage over Tucker Carlson's observation that key Israeli officials speak and think like pure Nazis, if not worse.
Just hours later, Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir posted this: text that makes Mein Kampf look bashful:

Wow, people call Jamaal Bowman the N-word every day? That’s horrible. He should film that
Thomas Hern@ThomasMHern
Jamaal Bowman is something else. "I'm a black man in America. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n word directly or indirectly every day."
English
Why is anyone in the admin insinuating that Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon (despite one Podcastistan denizen claiming Hezbollah isn't at all in Lebanon) is due to anything other than Hezbollah initiating every major conflict and violating ever ceasefire, including the one brokered by the US this spring?
You either believe in self defense or you don't.
English
@JVolk93 @ggreenwald @BarakRavid I’ve thought that for a while. I think you’re right. When he says things about not caring about inflation…
English
@RefuteThemAll @ggreenwald @BarakRavid True. He definitely saw the urgency of getting the oil prices down for the summer and try to save the midterms.
But after November it's a whole different story. Does he even care who wins 2028? I feel he'd be happy to be the only Republican capable of winning the WH.
English
This is a question because Netanyahu and Trump, last year, had their IDF operative @BarakRavid announce there was a "rift" between the two countries: a ruse to lure Iran into complacency so they could attack.
The rhetoric is far more vitriolic now, but only actions will tell:
Tom London@TomLondon6
Is the “fight” between Trump and Netanyahu real or kayfabe?
English
@WeTheBrandon These idiots in Congress all need to go. They are the absolute worst on both sides. No voter ID. No budget. Almost 40 trillion in debt. No immigration reform. Endless war funding. Fund other countries needs.
Can anyone name anything they’ve done for the US voters?
English
Never once did they so much as raise an eyebrow at the entirely UNCONSTITUTIONAL nature this guy took us to war. Or, I'm sorry, into an excursion. But ending the war? BRING DOWN THE GAVEL!

@TRHLofficial He’s about to break out into a full on hissy fit. I never watch his show, but might just to witness the melt down.
I bet Lindsey had to go to Disney to take his mind off of this turn of events.
English
@D227117 @DefiantLs You are right, but I would never call a mentally disabled person retarded.
It is reserved for those willfully ignorant, who are always offended by things like Islamophobia but somehow have nothing to say about girls being raped by migrants, while the government does nothing.
English
@RefuteThemAll @DefiantLs I think we need better words.
Retards are smarter than these people.
English
Liberals are out on the streets in the UK protesting to "Stop Islamophobia"
You can't make this up.
English
@z_e_silver It’s like someone walking up to you and saying, “I think I should stop punching you in the face completely” and expecting you to protest.
English
I think Israel should cut off America completely.
No more intelligence sharing. No more technology sharing. Nothing. Clean break.
English
@ggreenwald Too bad Trump is often unable to see the truth about people until they question him. Someone can go from genius to idiot in a moment with Trump. He seems to be easily manipulated by flattery and his own desire for greatness has been used against him to derail his presidency.
English
Mr. President: you should strongly consider the possibility that the people you are maligning here -- those insisting that you should have done more to destroy Iran -- may not be either one of the two things you say they are, but instead quite possibly are both of these things.

I think one thing Catholics should understand about the SSPX–Vatican situation is that the world has changed.
Long before Vatican II, Popes were already warning about secularism, liberalism, and modernism. The shift away from Christian civilization was already happening.
Now, by the time Vatican II arrived, many nations that were once-Catholic - like France, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland - were already deeply secular in public life. The old "Catholic state" structure was already collapsing.
Therefore I strongly believe Vatican II did not create a new world. Rather, it responded to a world that had already changed.
I think this is the key point people miss.
Yes, evil has no rights. That declaration remains true. But Vatican II was not saying error becomes truth or that all religions are equal. V2 was addressing a different question: in a modern state, can people be coerced in matters of religion?
That question matters, because we are no longer in medieval Christendom.
Therefore, when some SSPX apologists act like Vatican I–era structures can simply be restored everywhere today, they are ignoring reality.
I think we should be more focused on how the Church stays faithful to her mission, doing the work of our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, in a world that no longer looks like Christendom.

@ClownWorld At the end of this video I wish someone was behind her to say, “whatever retard.”

Woman has a full meltdown in her kitchen because the R word is making a comeback. Eyes wide, finger pointing, she vows to eviscerate anyone who uses it and go after every insecurity they have.
“The R word is coming back. If you ever use the R word in my presence, I will eviscerate you.”
Does that word really offend people this much in 2026?
English
@piersmorgan Too bad England will never win again. The US will win before England does again.

Imagine if England win the World Cup in America in the same month America celebrates its 250th anniversary of sending us packing…. and President Trump has to give us the trophy. I may need to dust down my red coat.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.
