Saddened by the death of nuance. Encouraged by the bravery of those willing to challenge consensus. Always looking for a fence to investigate. Be kind. Laugh.

Well put.

So you really think a .30-06 went through Charlie's neck?

If so I have some snake oil I'd like to sell you

@RangerJ78 @CitiZenSleuthX @IanCarrollShow @bennyjohnson “Properly zeroed” is doing a lot of work there.

They claim he carried the WW2 rlfle with the scope in his pants around campus and up multiple flights of stairs. That zero is still solid? I re-zero every month at the range even tho mine are in cases.

Just saying. Odd.

[Shameless Popery @ShamelessPopery]

Plenty of smart Protestants go to (Protestant) seminary and are confirmed in their views. Plenty of smart Catholics go to seminary and are confirmed in our views. Neither of these facts is surprising or particularly persuasive.

But there are also many smart and seemingly holy, devout Protestants who study theology and Church history and they realize they have to become Catholic. This happens with enough frequency that entire books have been written about the phenomenon, as well as collections of testimonies. I personally know several former Protestant pastors who are now Catholic. I don't know of anysmart and seemingly holy, devout Catholics who study theology and Church history and realized they needed to become Protestant.

To be clear, I know plenty of former Catholics (most of them now non-religious, some of them now Protestant), but invariably they didn't know or believe Catholic teaching even *before* they left the Church, and most will tell you that.

I think this should be cause for reflection on both sides. On the one hand, there's clearly a problem within Catholicism of not forming the next generation well enough (this is improving, but there's a lot of work to do). And I think if I was a Protestant I would be alarmed by the fact that the more people look at the evidence, the more likely they are to conclude that Protestantism is false and Catholicism is true.

THANK GOD we still have on the ground journalists committed to the truth left in this country.

@brandisiciliani and @billiewebbb have been camping out every night this week to make sure they can get inside the courthouse.

They both deserve praise and a follow for their commitment to rejecting the fedslop and focusing on the truth!

i'm still sad they canceled this show. i got way too attached to it

[MelioraCogito @ConsequiMaxime]

@IanCarrollShow @thevivafrei @xAlphaWarriorx He knows.

@thevivafrei Hey Viva — I’m not dumb.

That means you’re wrong.

Done.

[The Forgotten War @ForgottenWarPic]

The bravest man in the prison camp did not carry a rifle. He carried a Mass kit and a stolen sack of food, and the Communists were more afraid of him than of any soldier there.

Father Emil Kapaun was a Catholic priest from a tiny farm town in Kansas. Soft spoken, humble, the kind of man who probably should have spent his life doing quiet parish work. Instead he put on an Army uniform and became a chaplain, and he ended up on the front line in Korea in the fall of 1950.

At the battle of Unsan his unit got overrun by a massive Chinese assault. Men were told to pull out and save themselves. Kapaun refused to leave. He walked back and forth through the incoming fire, unarmed, dragging wounded soldiers out of the open, giving last rites to the dying, carrying men on his back. When the position finally fell he could have slipped away. He stayed with the wounded who could not move, knowing it meant capture.

Then came the moment people never forgot. A Chinese soldier stood over a wounded American sergeant named Herbert Miller, about to execute him where he lay. Kapaun walked straight up, pushed the enemy soldier aside, picked the wounded man up off the ground, and carried him away. The enemy was so startled by the sheer nerve of it that they let it happen. Miller lived the rest of his life because a priest refused to let him be shot.

What he did in the prison camp over the next seven months might be the most incredible part. In a filthy, freezing camp where men were dying of starvation and dysentery every day, Kapaun became the heart of the place. He snuck out at night to steal food for the sick. He boiled water in secret to keep men from dying of disease. He gave away his own tiny rations. He washed the filth off dying soldiers with his own hands, and he led prayers out loud in defiance of guards who beat him for it, keeping hope alive in men who had every reason to quit.

The Communists hated him for it, because faith was the one thing they could not take from those prisoners as long as he was breathing. Eventually the beatings and the starvation and a blood clot broke his body. When he got too sick, the guards hauled him off to the death house, a filthy room where they dumped men to die alone. He forgave his guards on the way out. He died there in May 1951 at just thirty five years old.

Sixty two years later they gave him the Medal of Honor. His fellow prisoners, the ones who lived because of him, spent their whole lives telling the world what he did. His body, long lost in an unmarked grave, was finally identified and brought home in 2021. And the Catholic Church is now on the road to declaring the humble priest from Kansas a saint.

This was literally you 1 hour after Charlie was killed. Grinning ear to ear. You couldn’t contain your excitement at the thought of filling his shoes. Don’t you ever try to lecture us again.

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

@bennyjohnson @nicksortor Yeah Benny- you’re a paid party butt pirate that shovels the party line for a living. Brandi is an independent journalist that does this for free.

We all know who’s telling the truth and who’s getting paid to play.

[Is Mitch McConnell Dead Yet? @IsMitchDeadYet]

Definitely something the family of an alive person would do.

Protestant Claim: Jesus and thus the early Christians accepted the post-Christian rabbinic OT canon.

Meanwhile the Christian canon lists:

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

This is positively blasphemous.
Attempting to draw comparisons between Erika Kirk and the Blessed Mother to make your point is another level of propagandist delusion.
You’re just sick, Andrew.
Truly spiritually sick in your constant attempt to warp the Bible with analogies to Christ and now the Virgin Mary to stop people from asking questions.

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

@FenixAmmunition Cool, nice insults.

The rounds are still designed to kill big game like elk and moose (IE to penetrate its torso, ribs and vital organs) and is quite capable of doing so.

Still waiting for you to film yourself shooting some to show us how easy it is to stop with a human neck

[Trad West @trad_west_]

For all its faults, finding a piece of the true cross, praying like a devout Catholic upon seeing it and then finding a "Deus Vult" sword is pretty cool for a game

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

@FenixAmmunition right bud...

ammo manufacturer doesn't want to shoot his own ammo because he knows it will make him look like an idiot.

I mean- what's even the point of testing the rounds allegedly used to kill Kirk- it wouldn't even be helpful at all.

Got it...

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

And then you notice that all the MAGA government slop shillers that called Epstein a Democrat hoax and the Iran war good for America are the same ones telling you to ignore your own eyes and ears and trust the feds- “I saw a leftist murder Charlie Kirk in cold blood”

Sure jan.

[The Catholic Steel Man @Cath_SteelMan]

Yes Deborah and Mary Magdalene were incredible women and examples for proper femininity. Notice Christ did not make Mary a priestess and Deborah did not fight in battle over Barak. Women doing amazing things in Scripture is NOT carte blanche for proving all your non biblical beliefs.

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

Israeli gremlin thinks Americans that work normal jobs are all brain dead idiots.

Not surprising really.

Also worth noting the entire time I drove Uber Eats as a side gig, my main job was a wilderness ultra marathon guide where I guided runners on multi day 100+ mile mountain runs. But Ben’s just recycling the Israel crowds talking points because spreading Hasbara is his job.

Personally I think mine were cooler.
