[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

In a recent interview, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, former grand chancellor of the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and Family Life, confirmed the worst suspicions that many of us had.

He admitted that the changes he made at the Institute during the Pope Francis years were designed to initiate a "very profound" reform of the idea of the natural law.

Instead of absolute moral norms grounded in a keen understanding of the basic goods, he and his colleagues were proposing a moral theory rooted in historical discernment of subjective and cultural experience--not an "armchair theology" but one operating "within history and within people's lives."

This, of course, is the language of trendy postmodernism, and it is dangerous indeed.

Allow me to illustrate the principle with one example. Is slavery wrong?

Intrinsically wrong? Wrong no matter what public opinion polls say about it, no matter what the current consensus on it might be? I imagine any decent person would say yes.

But that yes is predicated upon precisely what the tradition calls the natural law and the basic goods. There are some values so fundamental that acts repugnant to them are by their very nature wicked.

If you want a highly articulate presentation of this idea, go to St. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor.

If we say that this is just "armchair theologizing" and that morality is a function of ever-shifting cultural and experiential data, then why couldn't slavery be justified?

One of the very smartest persons that ever lived, the philosopher Aristotle, thought it was; extremely bright and morally upright persons in our country, well into the 19th century, thought it was permissible.

Who is to say whether the consensus might shift back again? Who is to say that "lived experience" might come to justify it?

What any truly coherent moral program requires is the very thing that Archbishop Paglia and his colleagues were endeavoring to eliminate, namely, absolute moral norms.

Ridding ourselves of these in the name of freedom or pastoral sensitivity actually renders moral discourse dysfunctional, just as relativizing the basic principle of logic would render any rational conversation impossible.

The Archbishop's interview, frankly, reminded me of the discussions I had at the Synod on Synodality with some of my German colleagues. Under the rubric of the development of doctrine, they were eager to relativize or radically change the principles undergirding classical morality. If this was and is truly the game, we have ventured onto perilous seas.

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

Trump is literally cooking the Islamic regime from the inside, and today we witnessed yet another public crack in the system.

Most people are completely fixated on this MoU, treating it as the main story. In reality, it is largely just a pretext, a tool being used to advance much deeper games. The real game playing out is something else entirely, and people should be looking elsewhere to understand what’s truly happening.

Few days ago, one faction of the regime’s gangsters has been faking letters supposedly from Mojtaba Khamenei to claim that negotiations with the US were personally approved by him. Others quickly learned the trick and started playing the same game.

Today, one of the rivals claimed they have access to Mojtaba’s confidential letters with the current negotiating team. It turned into a full-blown public shitshow. Honestly, it was both ridiculous and entertaining. The pigs are turning on each other.

Let me lay out the full picture for you.
Khamenei, to coup-proof his rule, massively empowered the IRGC and turned it into a powerful state-within-a-state. But then he became afraid of his own creation, so he deliberately prevented power from concentrating in any single hand and allowed different competing cartels to form inside the IRGC.

Most of the top figures in these cartels are deeply corrupt, ideology is just a facade for them.

At the same time, he personally cultivated a loyal base from the poorest and most broken layers of society: fanatical, powerless people who were extremely loyal to him personally and would attack anyone on his command like rabid dogs.

After his death, the IRGC clearly took full control of the country, but they are far from united. They’re now openly fighting each other for the real seat of power.

Trump, with his deal-making style and the huge carrot of money, especially after the naval blockade pushed them into real poverty and begging, has brilliantly pushed these corrupt elements forward.

This has created open clashes with the more ideological factions. One of these hardliner cartels belongs to Saeed Jalili and includes figures like the cleric Mahmoud Nabavian, a sitting MP.

Today, Nabavian went on state TV and announced he wanted to reveal Mojtaba Khamenei’s confidential letters criticizing the negotiating team and the current deal. He started reading them live, but they cut him off mid-sentence. The network later called it a serious violation, announced legal action, and even one of the directors resigned and was rebuked.

This was their last desperate attempt to stop the negotiating team from reaching Geneva. But it failed. Just hours later, the other side, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and his crew, still made it to Geneva.

A few days ago, they even put the approval of this Memorandum of Understanding to a vote in the Supreme National Security Council. Everyone approved it except one person, and many believe that lone dissenter was Saeed Jalili, from the same cartel as Nabavian.

Meanwhile, another IRGC cartel, Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, tried to sabotage the surrenderist negotiators’ trip to Geneva by claiming they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM immediately clapped back and said the Strait is wide open (and ships are moving freely). Perfect own-goal.

Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He understands these animals better than anyone. He’s weakening the regime from within, without firing a single shot. Just as he predicted, as soon as the corrupt ones smelled real money, they sold out the entire regime and its ideology without hesitation.

Let the man cook, trust the process.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

On me demande souvent si je crois vraiment que l'Occident va gagner.

Alors j'ai fait le calcul. Froidement. Avec les données, pas avec l'espoir.

Voici les odds.

D'abord, concédons tout ce qui doit l'être. Le wokisme tient encore les universités. Il tient les administrations. Il tient une génération entière de Millennials diplômés, installés dans les postes intermédiaires pour trente ans. Seulement 5% des entreprises ont réellement supprimé leurs programmes DEI. Le reste a juste changé les étiquettes. Le vocabulaire meurt, la nomenklatura reste en poste. Quiconque vous dit que c'est déjà gagné vous ment.

Maintenant, regardez les courbes.

The Economist a mesuré la présence des idées woke dans quatre domaines: opinion publique, médias, universités, entreprises. Partout la même courbe. Montée en 2015, pic en 2021-2022, déclin continu depuis. "White privilege" apparaissait 2,5 fois par million de mots dans la grande presse américaine en 2020. Trois ans plus tard: 0,4. Chez les étudiants américains, l'identification non-binaire a été divisée par deux entre 2022 et 2025. Le soutien à BLM s'effondre année après année.

Une idéologie ne meurt pas quand on la réfute. Elle meurt quand elle cesse de recruter. Et elle a cessé de recruter.

Dans les urnes, c'est un réalignement historique. Pour la première fois de l'histoire moderne, les partis anti-système sont simultanément en tête dans les trois principales économies d'Europe. Reform écrase tout au Royaume-Uni avec un Starmer à -61 de popularité nette. L'AfD devant la CDU. Le RN plus haut que jamais. L'Italie gouvernée. L'Autriche, le Portugal, les Pays-Bas qui basculent. Trump réélu. Milei qui redresse l'Argentine en direct.

Ce n'est pas une vague. C'est tout le bloc occidental qui rejette le même logiciel en même temps.

Pourquoi maintenant? Parce que l'idéologie a commis l'erreur que sa version précédente avait mis 70 ans à commettre: elle a pris le pouvoir. Une idéologie d'opposition est irréfutable. Une idéologie au pouvoir produit des résultats. De 2020 à 2024 elle a gouverné, et le réel a recommencé à envoyer ses réfutations, comme Budapest 1956, comme les boat people. Tout le monde a vu les villes ingérables, les écoles effondrées, les fondatrices de BLM s'acheter quatre manoirs avec l'argent de la cause. Le peuple n'a pas eu besoin de lire Foucault. Il a regardé qui s'enrichissait en prêchant le sacrifice.

Et puis il y a le facteur que ni l'URSS ni la French Theory n'ont jamais eu à affronter.

En 2024, Peter Thiel dîne avec Elon Musk. Thiel lui dit: si Trump perd, je quitte le pays. Elon répond: "There's nowhere to go." Il n'y a nulle part où aller. Thiel rentre chez lui et comprend deux heures plus tard ce qu'il vient d'entendre: Elon ne croit plus en Mars comme refuge. Parce que le gouvernement socialiste et l'IA woke le suivraient jusque sur Mars.

L'homme qui construit des fusées pour quitter la Terre venait de conclure que la fuite était impossible.

Qu'a-t-il fait de ce désespoir? Il n'a pas émigré. Il a racheté la place publique mondiale, cassé le monopole de la censure, mis sa fortune dans la bataille. Cet homme est aujourd'hui en route pour devenir le premier trillionaire de l'histoire de l'humanité, et il a fait de la destruction de cette idéologie un objectif explicite. Jamais, dans toute la guerre froide, le monde libre n'a eu un atout pareil. Les dissidents soviétiques tapaient des samizdats à la machine. Nous, nous avons les fusées, les modèles d'IA et les réseaux de distribution de l'information entre les mains de gens qui ont choisi notre camp.

Reste le mécanisme de fond, celui que presque personne ne voit.

Le wokisme est une économie politique de la rareté. Il a besoin de gatekeepers qui contrôlent l'accès aux carrières. Il a besoin de commissaires entre vous et le résultat. Il a besoin que les places soient rares pour que leur redistribution ait un sens. Son apogée fut le covid: populations immobilisées, dépendantes des canaux officiels, chaque interaction soumise à autorisation. Le pic du projet globaliste et le pic woke tombent la même année dans toutes les données. Ce n'est pas une coïncidence. C'est le même phénomène.

L'IA détruit les trois piliers à la fois. Elle pulvérise le diplôme comme péage. Elle remplace l'organisation et ses commissaires par un individu et ses agents. Elle casse la somme nulle en créant l'abondance cognitive. Une idéologie de gestion de la pénurie ne survit pas à la fin de la pénurie. Le marxisme économique n'a pas survécu aux Trente Glorieuses, il a dû muter en marxisme culturel. Cette fois, la mutation n'a nulle part où aller: l'IA attaque aussi le monopole du récit.

Une seule condition. Que l'IA reste entre les mains des bâtisseurs. Une IA capturée serait l'inverse exact: le commissaire politique installé dans chaque poche. C'est le seul scénario de défaite totale, et je le chiffre à 5-10%.

Donc voici mes odds, posées publiquement pour qu'on puisse me juger dessus.

Perte de l'hégémonie culturelle woke d'ici 2030: 90-95%. C'est presque déjà fait.

Perte des institutions d'ici 2035: 55-65%. C'est la bataille de la décennie, la plus dure.

Victoire civilisationnelle de l'Occident d'ici 2040: 60-70%. Conditionnée à une seule variable: qui écrit les valeurs dans les machines.

Probabilité que dans quinze ans on regarde 2020-2024 comme le pic historique du wokisme, son 1977 à lui, l'extension maximale juste avant le reflux: 85%.

Alors non, le UK n'est pas fini. La France n'est pas finie. En 1975, les bâtisseurs étaient apolitiques et les clercs avaient le monopole du récit. En 2026, les bâtisseurs possèdent les canaux et sont entrés dans la bataille. C'est une inversion du rapport de force sans précédent depuis 1966.

Le déclinisme n'est pas de la lucidité. C'est l'idéologie ennemie qui tourne dans votre tête et vous fait faire son travail gratuitement.

Il n'y a jamais eu autant d'espoir pour le monde libre. Le vrai. Pas le mirage de 1989.

Au travail.

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.

Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

AND MY FAVORITE:

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.

Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. And turn on your replies, coward.

When you and Bill left in January 2001, your staff ransacked the place. Remember?

“W” keys ripped off every keyboard. Phone lines cut. Desk drawers glued shut. Obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind.

Presidential seals and silverware stolen. Furniture damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn’t “transition friction” — it was a disgrace.

You trashed the People’s House on your way out the door and now you’re clutching pearls over Trump?

I remember, Hillary. I was there. Remember?

The hypocrisy is Olympic-level, Ms. Clinton. And you know it! You of ALL people know it!

Republican Michigan Governor Candidate John James goes NUCLEAR on the mainstream media for their incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

He preached with righteous indignation after the latest would-be attempt on President Trump’s life.

JAMES: “Trump derangement syndrome is a communicable disease and it’s being spread by the mainstream, lamestream, fake news media.”

“President Trump is literally spending his holiday weekend negotiating for peace in the Middle East.”

“He had to miss his son’s wedding because he loves this country, wants to keep us safe and this is the fourth attempt on his life that we know of in the past two years.”

“This is because you keep calling people, the lamestream media calls the president Hitler, makes comparisons and would like to see him gone.”

“This is the type of thing that begins creeping into the mainstream and radicalizing these people who are taking attempts on the president of the United States.”

“It must stop. It must stop now!”

“And we need to remember the reasons why we are celebrating memorial day is bringing our country together.”

“And the extremists trying to rip us apart need to absolutely be called out and held accountable for their terrible words and actions.”

Psychiatric medications gave me brain damage -and i am not alone.

Antidepressants can cause severe life altering effects and withdrawal- even when taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

All psychiatric drugs can cause physical dependence

Doctors are not taught how to safely take people off antidepressants and sadly this causes many people to either loose their lives, or be so chronically ill that life is not worth living anymore.

Some people who have only taken a psych drug once end up with life altering effects.

Sadly, these people are not believed by their doctors and experience medical gaslighting.

Most doctors are not aware or don’t believe psych meds can cause severe effects and disabling withdrawal.

Although it is not recognized by the medical system (yet) This is not rare.
It happens to hundreds of thousands of people.
( if not more)

Patient led forums were created due to people being left neglected by the medical system and the doctors.
These forums such as surviving https://t.co/qj4CK9SjW6 ( which gets 100,000s of hits per month)
Was made to help support / guide people going through withdrawal.
This website filled in for the support / help people could not get from their doctors.

Patients are not warned about the severity of withdrawal and that withdrawl can even mimic symptoms of , OCD, depression, anxiety. People feel trapped on this medication unable to come off without experiencing disabling withdrawal symptoms

There is so many issues within the psychiatric medical system but i wanted to bring awareness to this so changes can start to happen and no one else gets hurt 🤍

@DanielleGansky joined LindellTV's @CaraCastronuova to share her story of being prescribed ADHD medication and antidepressants as a child and the life-altering neurological injury she suffered when doctors followed standard guidelines to take her off them years later.

Early exposure to psychiatric drugs led to physical dependence, severe withdrawal injuries, and a reality many patients face but few are warned about: some people cannot safely come off these medications.

“This should always be a last resort,” Gansky warns, urging parents and young people to ask hard questions before accepting prescriptions as the first solution.

A British billionaire named Chris Hohn has been secretly funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into radicalizing America

Report shows the goal of his NGO is quote, "Nothing less than the complete radicalization of the US political landscape”

He is also funding our protests “In 10 years, CIFF funneled over half a billion dollars into US organizations to bankroll litigation and protests in our country”

So he’s paying for protests and paying for the lawsuits

“They also reportedly gave money to a China-connected group, the Rocky Mountain Institute, which is seeking to ban gas stoves in America.

Foreign nations are barred by federal law from directly or indirectly influencing US elections, and these guys are funding litigation, protests, and changes to our laws in cooperation with China”

I found it’s actually so much worse

Christopher Hohn, the British billionaire hedge fund manager, founder and board chair of the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) funneled over $553 million to US based organizations

Much of this supported:

- Climate litigation and activism against fossil fuels.
- Protests
- Left-leaning policy advocacy, including through networks like Arabella Advisors (pass-through funders for many progressive causes)
- Meaning he’s working with George Soros groups
- DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, initiatives and social justice programs

Everything happening on the left is being foreign funded to bring down America
