I love the way this is framed. New congressional districts that would disenfranchise almost half of Virginia GOP voters are designed "to restore fairness in the upcoming elections." Modern American politics is just lies piled upon lies.

If you live in Virginia, please be sure to vote NO today! Polls are open until 7pm.
We cannot allow Fairfax County to control nearly half of Virginia’s congressional seats. This is the same county whose elected officials keep letting illegal aliens back out onto the streets to murder American citizens.

1. The abuse scandals. The Church did a poor job initially addressing them. In part because of corruption, in part because many great clergymen and leaders (including JPII) just simply could not believe they were true. The Church has – thankfully – reversed course and has made strides to properly address and care for many of the victims, but there is still work to be done.
2. The Church’s teaching on sexual morality. The stances on marriage, divorce, premarital sex, contraception, homosexuality, etc., all run contrary to the dominant sexual ethic of the day.
3. The Church’s stance on women’s ordination. Many people see the male-only priesthood as institutional sexism. The Church's actual theological reasoning, which is rooted in the nature of the priesthood and Christ's own choices – is rarely engaged with seriously by critics.
4. The Church’s wealth and institutional power. Catholic art, architecture, and finances strike many as incompatible with the Gospel's call to poverty. This criticism often ignores the Church's role as the world's largest charitable organization, but I understand where people are coming from to a degree, so I think we should better address these criticisms. For instance much of the Church’s valuable art is priceless, and would lose its inherent value if not directly tied to the Church. Nonetheless the Church in many cases spent a great deal of money commissioning said art.
5. The Church’s opposition to abortion. Our culture treats abortion as a fundamental right. The Church's uncompromising defense of life from conception is seen as an attack on women. There is no middle ground, and that makes the Church a target.
6. Perceived arrogance. The claim that the Catholic Church is the “one true Church” founded by Christ strikes many as arrogant and exclusionary. In our relativistic era, absolute truth claims are inherently offensive, even if they are truthful.
7. Internal scandal and contradiction. Corrupt clergy, lukewarm Catholics, and public figures who claim the faith while living in open contradiction to it give ammunition to every critic. The Church's enemies are often found inside her own walls.
8. Last but not least – spiritual opposition. This one is rarely spoken about publicly, but it is real. The Church is the Body of Christ in the world and the Enemy hates her for it. Some hatred of the Church is not sociological or psychological, but rather diabolical. The most ferocious opposition often targets precisely what is most true and holy.

Vote no!

@ChristianHeiens "Let us take away a woman's bodily autonomy and THEN we'll care about the poor" That's you right now. It's not fascist to want to make sure people are taken care of. Happiest countries in the world do that just fine. Social democracy is the goal

You know these type of arguments are disingenuous because if you came to the Left and offered a grand compromise that entailed outlawing abortion and massively expanding the welfare system with the intention of providing free food and housing to everyone in America, they’d call you a fascist theocrat and continue to agitate for whichever singular position delivered them power.
By and large, Leftists don’t actually believe anything except for the useful idiots who drank too much of the kool aid and are now true believers.
What Leftists believe in is power, and they will argue both sides of any issue and regurgitate any talking points (even Right-coded ones!) to get it.

"I have no doubt one of our first troubles will be that Ellen's servants will all quit, after we have gone into debt to get them here, & then she will have to wait on herself or buy a n****r. What will you think of that - our buying n****rs? But it is inevitable. N****rs won't work unless they are owned, and white servants are not to be found in this parish. Everybody owns their own servants... I have made this point to Ellen, and you must be careful in your Black Republican speeches not to be down on us too hard, for your own sister may be forced by necessity to traffic in human flesh. N****rs in a cotton or a sugar field are invaluable, but about a house they are dirty and of no account, but they monopolize the business and white girls or boys as servants won't come. Carpenters and mechanics are white, but nearly all labor is by slaves. Without them the cotton and sugar fields would relapse into cane brakes." -William T. Sherman 1/21/1860 #history #ushistory #slavery

There are only a handful of countries on Earth that split in two, had a bloody civil war, rebuilt themselves, and then said, “You know what we should do? Let’s memorialize the racist losers, and give ‘em a tax break.”
Welcome to the USA, where for over a century we’ve treated the Confederacy like a defeated traitor loyalty rewards program.
This week, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger did something so radical, so shocking, so controversial it could only happen 160 years late: she stopped taxpayer-subsidizing pro-Confederate groups.

Fugelsang’s article is filled with hyperbolic smears that equate any preservation of Southern Civil War history with racism, treason, and “slavery fan clubs.” In reality, there are no Confederates left—the last one died generations ago. We are all Americans today, united under one flag, and the men who fought for the South were Americans too. Preserving historic sites isn’t about celebrating slavery or insurrection; it’s about remembering a tragic chapter in our shared national story, where brother fought brother, so we can learn from every side rather than airbrush away parts of history.
Take the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Preservation Trust’s site at Laurel Hill in Patrick County, Virginia, for example. This 70-plus-acre public park offers free admission 365 days a year, complete with hiking trails through scenic woods along the Ararat River, interpretive signage on pre-Revolutionary War history, Native American artifacts, and educational exhibits honoring a native Virginian general. It draws tourists, hosts community events, and is largely maintained by volunteers—all without charging visitors a dime. Why on earth would Virginia now tax a place that provides open recreational trails, historical education, and economic benefit to a rural area just because it happens to commemorate an American from the 1800s?
Ending tax exemptions for these historical preservation groups isn’t bold progress; it’s selective punishment based on today’s politics. True historical understanding requires keeping sites like the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace accessible to everyone, not slapping them with property taxes that could force closures or reduced public access to those very hiking trails and trailside lessons. Americans deserve the full, unvarnished story of our past—complexities, sacrifices, and all—without the government deciding which chapters are allowed to survive on their own dime.

JUST IN: In a statement signed by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, The Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land confirms attacks by the IDF on Christians are not isolated incidents but many.
He expressed its "profound indignation and unreserved condemnation of the desecration of a representation of Jesus Crucified by an Israeli soldier in a Lebanese village."
"This act constitutes a grave affront to the Christian faith and adds to other reported incidents of desecration of Christian symbols by IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon."
Catholics for Catholics 🇺🇲@CforCatholics
A CALL FOR HOLY REPARATION: We waited till the IDF itself confirmed the authenticity of this before reposting. Now that is has, let this photo sink in. This act of aggression towards Christians by the 1948 State of Israel is not a one off isolated incident. Wake up America. In fact it was only a few weeks ago that the Latin Patriarch, Cardinal Pizzaballa was refused entrance into the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday of all days. Make no mistake. To be our "greatest ally" you cannot be an enemy of America's "greatest friend." As a Christian country that "greatest friend" of America is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This goes for the 1948 State of Israel just as much as it does for Muslim countries who slaughter Christians in the thousands. On our knees before Christ the King crucified, we humbly ask forgiveness for our own sins and for the evil act of this IDF soldier. “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23

Isn't it incredible that all laws are apparently either written in such a way for Leftists to achieve their political objectives, or they are illegitimate tools of “heteronormative white patriarchal systems of oppression”?

The reason most on the right (myself included) are not cool with Flock and other surveillance tech, is because we know how it will be used. Or rather, not used. This is an easy multiple-arrest situation. Cut and dry. Arrests will not happen.

“He’s five months old. He doesn’t understand English.”
Right.
The baby understands something deeper.
Why is it that “mama” (or some version of it) shows up in nearly every language on earth? Chinese, Arabic, Spanish. Cultures separated by continents, histories, and entirely different linguistic families — and yet they all landed on the same sound for the same person?
That’s not coincidence. That’s anthropology.
“Ma” is one of the very first sounds a baby can make. It’s the natural position of the mouth during nursing. Long before a child understands words, he forms that sound. And who answers?
Across time, across cultures, across civilizations it is the woman who carried him, the woman whose body he knows.
Humanity didn’t invent “mama.” We recognized it.
So no, he doesn’t understand English.
But he does understand that something (or someone) is missing.
And what makes that video so disturbing isn’t just the cruelty of laughing at a distressed baby. It’s the denial of the human non-negotiable that children come from, and are made for, a mother.
They can mock the baby's babbling. But the can't erase the reality it points to.
That baby isn’t confused. The gay men are.
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
NEW: The gay man with a surrogate baby is standing by his video of his baby saying 'Mama' following online backlash, tells the Daily Mail that he finds the video "hilarious." 51-year-old Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally says he and his husband find the video "hilarious." "We found it hilarious. He's five months old, he obviously doesn't understand English." "I was appalled by what some people have been saying. Some people have taken it out of context." "Babies usually say dada first, but people wouldn't then say the babies are only wanting their dads? It doesn't really make sense." Every child deserves a mother.
