🇻🇪🏳️🌈 El diseñador Marco Michetti explica su distanciamiento de la comunidad LGBT siendo homosexual:
"No pertenezco a esa comunidad, no estoy orgulloso de desnudarme en la calle. No puedes reclamar como derecho ser un degenerado".
Escuchar a Sondra Macollins hablar de Abelardo de la Espriella es revelador.
Estudió con él, lo conoce bien y sabe de qué habla cuando advierte sobre los riesgos que representa para nuestra democracia y nuestra institucionalidad.
Ojo, Colombia. @SondraMacol
Parce, no es por nada, pero Sergio Fajardo está ON FIRE 🔥 en estos días. Jamás pensé decir esto, pero creo que está dejando de ser tibio para tomar postura en un momento crucial para el futuro del país y suscribo al 100% sus palabras.
No @AbelardoPTE . Una orden de archivo no es una absolución. No lo absuelve de los cuestionamientos públicos sobre a quiénes ha defendido ni de las preguntas sobre su trayectoria. Usted construyó su fama defendiendo a narcotraficantes, paramilitares y poderosos .
.@michaeljknowles on the roles of the Pope and the president:
“The president cannot avoid talking about religion because he cannot govern without recourse to morality and justice.
Likewise, the Pope can't avoid talking about politics because he shepherds a flock that lives in the world.”
Si los españoles eran tan malos con los indígenas, si Hernán Cortés era tan malvado, ¿porque, después de conquistar Tenochtitlan, los 80.000 tlaxcaltecas no se cargaron a los 1000 españoles que estaban con ellos?
A ver si me responde algún mexicano indigenista negrolegendario.
Pope Leo XIV weighs in on Cardinal Cupich’s decision to honor pro-abortion Sen Dick Durbin, saying: “I think that is very important to look at the overall work that this Senator has done during, if I'm not mistaken, 40 years of service in the United States Senate.
I understand the difficulty and the tensions but I think as I myself has spoken to pass, it’s important to look at many issues that are related to what is the teaching of the Church. Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty, is not really pro-life. So someone who says that I'm against abortion but I'm agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who in are the United States I don't know if that's pro-life; so they're very complex issues. I don't know if anyone has all the truth on them, but I would ask first and foremost that there'd be greater respect for one another, and that we search together both as human beings and that case is American citizens or citizens of the state of Illinois, as well as Catholics to say we need to, you know, really look closely at all of these ethical issues and to find the way forward as Church. Church teaching on each one of those issues is very clear. Thank you.”
I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.
Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.
When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.
The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.
Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?
I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.
The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.
Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.
Estos son los libros que recomendó Charlie Kirk en su podcast hace dos meses:
- Man's Search for Meaning (El hombre en busca de sentido) de Victor Frankl. Lo consideraba muy, muy importante.
- Cualquier cosa de CS Lewis, particularmente Mere Christianity (Mero cristianismo), que le encanta.
- 1984 de George Orwell.
- Brave New World (Un mundo feliz) de A. Huxley.
- Good to Great (Empresas que sobresalen) de Jim Collins. Muy bueno para hacer crecer empresas y organizaciones si se tiene una mentalidad empresarial.
- The Conservative Mind (La mente conservadora) de Russell Kirk. Disfrutó mucho al leer este libro hace un par de veranos.
- The Road to Serfdom (Camino de servidumbre) de Von Hayek. Lo describ��a como una obviedad o algo que es imprescindible leer (no-brainer).
- The Death of the West (La muerte de Occidente) de Patrick Buchanan. Un libro fabuloso y más provocador.
- The Book That Built Your World (El libro que construyó tu mundo) de Vishal Mangalwaldi. A Kirk le encantaba, ya que alaba la civilización occidental y la belleza de la Biblia desde la perspectiva de un extranjero indio.
- The Anxious Generation (La generación ansiosa) de Jonathan Haidt. Kirk lo había leído recientemente, lo recomendaba encarecidamente, y señalaba que está muy bien estudiado y exhaustivamente investigado. Su lección principal es que los teléfonos móviles son terribles para los niños.
- Dopamine Nation (Nación dopamina) de Anna Lembke. Kirk lo leyó y lo consideraba muy, muy bueno.
Lecturas en curso o planificadas (hace dos meses):
- Doctrine (Doctrina) de Mark Driscoll y Gary Basher. Estaba leyendo este libro hace dos meses porque le fue recomendado; lo describe como una lectura seria y un libro enorme de 345 páginas.
- I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist (No tengo suficiente fe para ser ateo) de su amigo Frank Turk. Kirk estaba planeando leerlo.
Abajo, el vídeo del podcast en el que Carlie Kirk recomienda estos libros.
Aquí les dejo a los del dios sin patria el por qué como CATÓLICO GODO voté Petro y por qué votaría por Iván Cepeda. Muy clara la explicación del Obispo de Winona-Rochester (Minnesota), Robert Barron, sobre la lectura del Profeta Amos, la doctrina social de la Iglesia y el poder
JD Vance "Charlie sufrió un destino terrible, amigos míos... pero piensen, no es el peor destino. Es mejor enfrentarse a un pistolero que vivir la vida con miedo de decir la verdad. Es mejor ser perseguido por su fe que negar la Realeza de Cristo".
RFK Jr: " And I would tell you there are three rules that we should all remember.
One is that when a government takes a power from us, a right from us, it will never voluntarily relinquish it.
Number two, any power the government takes from us, it will ultimately abuse to the maximum extent possible.
Number three, nobody ever complied their way out of totalitarianism.
We need to resist, resist, resist."
Saint Augustine too had a restless youth, but he did not settle for less, did not silence the cry of his heart. He sought the truth that does not disappoint, and the beauty that does not fade. How did he find it? How did he find true friendship, and a love that gives rise to hope? By finding the one who was already looking for him: Jesus Christ. How did he build his future? By following the one who had always been his friend. #JubileeofYouth
