@JesseKellyDC the level of vaccine virtue is literally off the charts

@HemingwayZander @hwinkler4real Anyone can criticize the Pope. Thinking like this created the priest scandal.

@hwinkler4real The Pope is the Pope, while JD will be a historical side note in 3 years.

@drsimsdmd @LAChas77 Not the layup OP thinks it is

@LAChas77 One is full of Karen's, sliding mits and $1000 bats. The other turns out tough, scrappy ball players. Don't believe me? Just look at the percentage of latin American players in MLB and then have a look at where they learn to play ball.

There's 2 very different America's Carmel, IN Argo, AL $3,000/year $114/year

@aaron_renn Democratic leadership since the’60s

St Louis is a river city like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville. All of these cities are similar dynamics and weird underperformance on conventional growth metrics relative to their urban assets. A possible culprit: very parochial and insular cultures.

@MrLeadslinger Never stop

Took a long break from lifting weights and I can’t explain why. Got started back to it on Monday and the muscle soreness is next level stuff. Best bet is to start working out and stick with it forever. Also, getting old sucks.

@DanGreenMN Ellison, Frey, Walz. Everyone knows how dumb you are

As someone who lives in Minneapolis, it’s hilarious to see how much hate we get from MAGA online — only to walk out my door every day to see a beautiful, vibrant, and peaceful city. This is live from St. Anthony Main tonight, right outside my apartment. Best city in America. 🇺🇸

@JackPosobiec @Dpete9Peterson About $100 million per year

What could be the reason the Catholic Bishops only speak out about 'moral outrage' when immigration laws are enforced and illegals are sent back to their home countries. Could it be that Catholic Charities is losing govt money?

I keep re-tweeting these because it's a very critical issue and because no matter which party is in place, it keeps going up.

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports. But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity. Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm. The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue. OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing. But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president. The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

@SunshineSass2 My wife is a perfect barometer of politics. She thinks Trump has “gone too far” with rhetoric but the Democrats on the ballot (senate race in Kentucky)don’t even register with her

Everyone knows the Catholic hierarchy is corrupt - even Catholics. This is not going to move the midterm needle.

@KeenanPeachy Let priests marry. Priest shortage solved

This is what Cardinals Cupich, Tobin, McElroy, and Prevost presided over. This sad decline pre-dates Donald Trump and deportations. They were bequeathed riches and threw it away on liberal political obsessions. A slow motion tragedy also reflected across Europe. The solution is simple: Catholics, lay and clergy, must return to tradition and the old ways. Parishes where this is happening are bursting at the seams.

@AronVonBrando @KeenanPeachy The congregation is the church, not the clergy

@KeenanPeachy Catholics must remember, it’s not the religion that's at fault, it's the people who run it. Too many communists have infiltrated the Catholic church.

Getting scolded and shamed for daring to criticize or question clergy and clerical behavior is one of things that led to 40 years of secret sexual abuse. It is *okay* to be a devout Catholic and critique the institution and the people who run it. It doesn't make you a bad Catholic. Being Catholic doesn't mean you must relinquish your brain or your tongue. Francis shut down TLM parishes and told a journalist he "hates conservative American Catholics" - an actual quote. We are free to say what we like and remain in good standing, barring blasphemy or calumny.

@CardChronicle Another bike race. I love bikes btw

Wow, Indy 500 moving to Louisville confirmed

@DACats86 The war will be well over and the fissable material will be recovered. Markets have already somewhat recovered and energy prices will also. I know you hate Trump but a nuclear Iran is just not a good idea.

@chipconstant Sure thing. BTW, calling me a "lefty" isn't insulting in the least. I'm sure you're going to pull the original, "libtard" out soon. Anyhow, what do you think will happen in a month?

@KristanHawkins The pope isn't political. He just criticizes national sovereignty, wants open borders, advocates taxation on wealth, takes money from governments for immigration services, criticizes national leaders, and meets with Democrat strategists. But he's not political.

@Red_State_Rebel @KristanHawkins @JoyPhillips1950 Hundreds of millions

@KristanHawkins @JoyPhillips1950 It's not just one, it's millions.

Seeing three Bishops publicly oppose the President’s immigration enforcement hits close to home. I have a loved one I’ve been praying would enter the Catholic Church. On Sunday, they walked out of Mass when a letter from our local Bishop, echoing those same priorities, was read. When Bishops go on national TV advocating clemency for those who’ve broken our laws, yet don’t show the same urgency for innocent preborn children who are exactly where they are supposed to be, it hardens hearts. And it just set back someone I deeply love on their journey to the faith.

@MaryStewart01 @Antunes1 Third times the charm. He isn’t running, btw

@chipconstant @Antunes1 He will lose in a landslide. I hope bowing to Israel was worth his impeachment. They probably sabotaged him on purpose.

🚨 Trump just attacked the Pope again “He doesn’t understand and shouldn’t be talking about war, he has no idea what’s happening!” Absolute idiot 🤡

@DACats86 Even a lefty can see economic pressure creating negotiating leverage. I would love to revisit this conversation with you in about a month.

@chipconstant Same regime still in charge. Still have ALL their enriched uranium and no restraints on refinement. And for shits & giggles - the Strait of Hormuz is closed, while at least 15 American soldiers dead, hundreds injured, and 150 innocent schoolgirls murdered. You good with that?

Things I am okay with my taxes being used for: - Breakfast/lunches for children - Healthcare - Research - Education - Infrastructure Things I am NOT okay with my taxes being used for: - Bombs, wars, and doing Israel's bidding.

@fd5050 @Vitus_osst they pick and choose based on politics

@Vitus_osst How all of a sudden everyone is positive on the Catholic Church? Something doesn’t seem right.

I stand with the Pope. Not because he is the Vicar of Christ. But because he knows the teachings of the Catholic Church. - Peace, Dialogue, and Protection Of Human Dignity

@LangmanVince he is a man. a man who never raised children, or had a wedded relationship. He is the leader of my church. His interests are that of the church, particularly the financial status of the church. He is from Chicago. All of these are facts.

Are you a fan of this Pope?
