Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed.
When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department.
Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table.
Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.
In another interview, Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins points out that Pop Music is far more Satanic than Rock Music because it pretends to be something that it's not and because so many singers flirt with the occult
He also says that the Freemasons tried to recruit him
Yes, by the 1950s the liberalism, modernism and heresy were all flooding the Church, the same who would be responsible for the revolution at Vatican II, but at least you could go to any parish and get a valid Mass and Confession.
The fact that that’s over = Great Apostasy.
The "listening synodal" church is exactly the opposite of what the world actually needs right now.
The world doesn't need the Church to listen it's obvious failings and lies. The world does not need a Church that takes suggestions or makes changes to suit the modern mentality.
The world needs the Church to speak the Truth and Lead it out of the darkness.
"Muhammad seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure, to which the flesh goads us. Those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly."
—St. Thomas Aquinas
Feminism is the most murderous, violent ideology in world history.
It is responsible for 70 million babies aborted every year.
That's five Nazi Holocausts every year.
“I saw that Franco had made a heroic and colossal attempt to save his country from disintegration... and for twenty, thirty, thirty-five years, had kept Spain Christian against all history’s laws of decline!”
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Probably the best move in life is to marry your high school sweetheart, stay in your hometown around family, learn a trade or attend a local college or do classes online, live in a tiny starter home or rent a modest apartment or live with family.
Start out small. Grow together.
There is no perfect time to have a family. You just have children, work, play, grow together like everyone has done forever. It's hard. It's worth it.
It can be a beautiful life.
A simple and modest life is beautiful.
I love knowing that we can open a Mass Missal from the 1200s and one from Now (Latin Mass) and it’s the same.
Attending the same Mass as the saints, hearing the exact words they heard is Catholicity.
more souls go to hell because of the sins of the flesh than for any other reason - Our Lady Of Fatima
Climate Change is the most important issue - The Synodal Lady Of Pachamama, probably
Off to learn about slavery, the holocaust and Saint MLK Jr. from bulldyke landwhales in an IKEA concentration chamber for 6 hours instead of enjoying their youth outside, encountering a ladybug, observing the procession of the equinox, the moving of the waters and suchlike.
Demons are not afraid of yoga.
Demons are not afraid of sage.
Demons are not afraid of crystals.
Demons are not afraid of the universe.
Demons are only afraid of Jesus Christ.
They say lighting never strikes the same place twice, but Lightning struck St. Peter’s Basilica twice on the evening of 11 February 2013, the same day Benedict XVI announced his resignation.
This was surely a sign from God, that marked a new phase of the great apostasy.
Next week, I’ll be sharing something that is very personal to me. This may be one of the most personal interviews I’ve done to date, and I believe it’s also one of the most important.
I’ve felt a real pull to better understand the Bible and to use this platform to help bring a greater understanding of it to my audience and to people around the world.
Please watch the official preview for my upcoming interview with Cardinal Burke. In this special two-part series, we’ll discuss both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Liberal women say Charlie Kirk deserved to be killed because of the things he said.
Liberal women say Lindsay Clancy deserves to be free because she killed her children.
Liberal women are a cancer to society.
I find it impossible to believe that every pope since Vatican II has been a saint
If this was true, then we would see a holy Catholic Church
not this monstrosity of a new religion that pretends to be Catholic
The main reason that mental problems are so common these days is due to women leaving their homes for the workforce. Studies prove children raised by full-time mothers are far more mentally stable and secure than those who have mothers who are in the workforce. God’s ways are always good.
