My 25 (ish) for 2025
Scroll less, pray more. Control what I can. Give the rest up to the Lord. Give more compliments and accept them myself. Time spent outside and time spent outside myself. Create beautiful things. And only keep the things I find beautiful.

1) I don’t think the woman was trying to murder the cop. I don’t think the cop should have shot the woman. It is obviously sad the woman was killed. She was being insane, yes, but she was an American citizen protesting something she believes in.
2) That being said, watching the video from multiple angles, I think the cop was more than justified in shooting the woman.
3) This is exactly why you don’t fuck around with cops. They have no way of knowing your intentions, mental state, etc., and they deal with people who try to kill them every day. They don’t have the luxury of asking a committee to review the situation before reacting. Watching a video in slow motion on your phone from multiple angles after the fact is very different from making a split second decision in the moment.
4) We simply cannot live in a society where people feel like they can fuck around with impunity and never find out. If a cop stops you and asks for ID you fucking comply. Period. If you want to fight the charge do it in court later with a lawyer. This is simply a prerequisite for a civilized society.
The cop COULD have chosen not to fire, and arguably SHOULD have chosen not to fire, but the woman’s death is still 100% her own fault for not acting like a reasonable, responsible human being while operating a 2000 lb vehicle.
5) I put the blame here on the far left who have clearly been stoking anti-ICE sentiment for some time hoping something like this would happen so they could weaponize it and I’m sure they hope to incite some nationwide GF-level anti-ICE riot.
6) I don’t love the ICE raids. I don’t like illegal immigration, but I think deportations should be 100% focused on violent criminals and drug traffickers. I don’t think we gain much as a society by hunting down every single innocent law abiding person who’s here illegally. Yes they are breaking the law but with limited resources and political capital to spend on immigration enforcement it endangers the broader mission without making society meaningfully better.
Wow!
Under Walz, Minnesota's SNAP issuances increased by 196% while total recipients only increased by 21% but the state's population increased 1.8% 🤔
How much of it is fraudulent given that we've become the fraud capital of the US nearing an estimated $6 Billion in fraud?
In one 18-month period in the early 1970s, there were 2,500 bombings on American soil—nearly 5 a day.
Did you know that? Many Americans don't.
These leftist terrorists who declared war on America went on to work at top law firms, nonprofits, and Ivy League universities. 🧵
Martyrdom is an amazing force to behold. In my lifetime, I've never seen it, until now. I've read about it, but I've never seen it in action. Truly, an eye-opening event. Millions of hearts changed in a short amount of time. Evil exposed that has lurked in the shadows for decades. Hearts opened in prayer. It's a force unto itself that catches like kindling but can burn for decades.
Meet Emily Higley, an Elections Administrator at @RamseyCounty in Minnesota.
After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, she wrote: “lmao rest in piss charlie, you reap what you sow” and went on to refer to him as “literally a nazi.”
Is this really the kind of person we want running elections in Minnesota’s second-largest county?
My husband mentioned Charlie Kirk may be the closest he has seen to living like Jesus. And I was shocked I hadn’t realized the similarity before. I’m not saying Charlie Kirk was Jesus. But his life’s work more closely resembled Christ’s than anyone I’ve personally witnessed.
CHARLIE KIRK REST IN PEACE! It was always an honor and a privilege to have you on the show. You were a remarkable man. Your insight, character, and presence left a lasting impression. You will be deeply missed.
We are officially at the part of summer where my 6 year old said she can easily face paint her 3 year old brother and no questions asked, I just responded with ‘Ok.’
Every Catholic home should have:
— A Crucifix
— A Rosary
— Holy Water
— A Catechism
— Sacred images
Build a domestic church.
The battle is spiritual, equip your family accordingly.

A Thread Exposing the Everyday Lies and Propaganda We’ve Been Sold🧵

The real conversation that should come out of this week is why places like Minnesota are importing Somalians en masse. Somalia is one of the most impoverished and dysfunctional countries in the history of the planet. Somalian immigrants bring poverty and dysfunction everywhere they go. Nobody can explain how this country is improved or enriched in any way through mass Somalian migration. Nobody wants to live in a community that's predominantly Somalian. Nobody can factually dispute any of the things I've just said, though they can act offended by it. So why are we doing this?
