My catholicepheme1 page got nuked. But, I am a good boy. I would never, ever say something like, "It is our duty as Christians to destroy the degenerate left to ensure that our posterity aren't having running knife fights in the streets just to survive."
God is good!
If I were in power, I would drain Social Security and divert all the funds into expelling as many foreigners as possible.
I'd call it the Boomer Reparations Act.
Can we all just agree that the only reason Insurrection Barbie and Dana Loesch are a thing is because horny Boomercons and Millenial simps made them a thing?
I'm being serious.
Attributed to Leonardo da Vinci as his only surviving sculpture, The Virgin and the Laughing Child is a rare depiction in art of the child Jesus being mirthful.
It was Flannery O'Connor's favorite statue. And though she only ever saw a picture of it, she referenced it several times in her letters.
@ChristianHeiens He has an Israeli flag in his bio. Nearly every single person who is acting this way is some flavor of Zionist. I'm not kidding. Look at their tweet histories.
We all know where their loyalties lie.
The breakfast question for small government conservatives.
Blacks don't understand per capita. Boomers don't understand inflation. Small government conservatives don't understand:
"You live in a welfare state. Federal taxes are taken from you, spent, and wasted. Would you rather have the money given to your friends, or your enemies? Remember that the money will be wasted either way, you're not allowed to get it back, the money needs to be spent. The only thing you can decide is whether the money is given to your friends, or your enemies."
"But I don't want to live in a welfare state."
So, when I see posts like this from Ryan (Boomer or not), and then dig into his tweet history, I absolutely guarantee he was one of those people. And he can absolutely STFU and go to a forced labor camp, for all I care.
My life was made absolutely miserable in 2021-22 because I refused to get the vaccine. My job did everything could to run me off. They eventually succeeded.
It was all HR girlbosses backed by Boomer managers.
So here’s where I’m coming from on UBI for SAHMs (which is what this really is):
My wife has stayed at home ever since we had kids (since 2008). She was a top government attorney at the @usedgov under W, and had a career gig there to fight Obama’s people from the inside.
But we very much believed that early childhood development was best done at home, with Mom.
So I have always worked my tail off, running a pretty good sized single preparer tax business in addition to my very busy day job of political work.
That’s allowed us to have it all: a SAHM who homeschooled and Catholic schooled, three beautiful and well adjusted smart girls, ample retirement and 529 and charitable savings, etc. Even early retirement coming up.
The price I paid was almost never ending 60 hour weeks to make it all happen. Interrupted by 70 hour weeks during tax season.
So spare me your arguments about welfare equity. Hustle. Get after it. Be a husband and a Dad. Earn that money yourself. Don’t ask taxpayers to support your freaking family.
They would seek me out because I would not comply and we would have many hushed conversations in empty corners. They would often be in tears.
I had to listen to Boomer after Boomer pontificate loudly how people like me deserved to be jobless.
JESUS WASN’T GOD—AND HE TOLD YOU WHY.
Jesus says the Father is greater than him, calls the Father “the only true God,” refers to “my God and your God,” says he can do nothing on his own, and teaches his followers to become one just as he is one with the Father. My thesis: Jesus wasn’t asking humanity to stop at worshiping him—he was demonstrating what complete alignment with God looks like and showing you the path to the same divine union.

I'm 55 years old. I maxed out SS when I was in my early 40s. Absolutely nobody I know who is my age expects to ever see a penny of that money.
Millenials and Gen Z are absolutey screwed.
But, at least we get to be lectured by girlbosses larping as conservatives.
Ryan Ellis is a real "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" kind of guy. A man of principle! A real truth-teller!
Why, just a few years ago he was berating everyone who had questions about the Covid Vax.
What a guy!

If I had the power, I would completely drain everything in Social Security and give every single penny to working American families with a stay at home mom.
I would do this tomorrow.
Then I would nationalize every Boomer's house and give them to said families.
If you got oneshotted by staying at home for like a month and having to spend the rest of the year wearing a mask sometimes then I’m sorry it’s a skill issue
The weird “conservative” war against women working and the push to embrace a “tradwife” lifestyle makes a lot more sense when you understand demonizing female employment is a critical part of justifying a conservative-socialist policy agenda.
Conservatives ALWAYS:
Young men need to grow up.
Get married. Take responsibility. Work hard. Become capable of supporting a family. Understand that being a husband and father means sacrifice. If you and your wife decide that having Mom home with the kids is important, then build a life that makes that possible.
2026 “conservatives”:
Actually, never mind.
If your paycheck can’t support the family arrangement you chose, Uncle Sam will help replace your wife’s forgone income.
But don’t worry. This is VERY conservative because she’s your wife.
What the hell are we teaching young men?
You cannot spend decades telling men that one of the responsibilities of husbandhood and fatherhood is becoming capable of providing for a family, then turn around and tell them that the federal government should subsidize the income their household voluntarily gave up.
And before someone deliberately misunderstands me: stay-at-home motherhood is work.
Raising your own children is extraordinarily valuable.
But “this work is valuable” leading into “therefore the federal government should pay you to do it” is Marxist.
The government does not become responsible for writing me a check every time I do something socially valuable.
That used to be an extremely basic conservative distinction.
Cut taxes. Eliminate marriage penalties. Reduce the cost of housing. Remove regulations that inflate the cost of living. Don’t create a new class of welfare recipients.
“A man should be able to earn enough to support his family.”
Is not the same thing as:
“A man should work 35 hours and taxpayers should make up part of the income his household voluntarily gave up.”
You can be all for this, but then don’t pretend like you’re conservative. Because it is not a conservative position to teach victimhood and government dependency to subsidize your lifestyle just because the other side does it.
Don’t we remember when we were little and our parents told us things like if your friend jumped off a bridge would you jump off a bridge also… the answer is no.
