Sodomy at bath houses created new forms of staph. Now you're not allowed to talk about new plagues being created in human Petri dishes by fornicators running on meth and taxpayer funded PrEP.
A STATEMENT ON LEBANON: A CRY FOR THE INNOCENT
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
My heart is heavy as I look toward Lebanon – a land long marked by faith, suffering, and perseverance.
Lebanon is not merely another nation in conflict. It is home to one of the oldest and largest Christian populations in the Middle East, where the name of Jesus Christ has been professed continuously since the earliest centuries of the Church. In that sacred land stands the shrine of St. Charbel Makhlouf, a humble monk whose life of prayer, penance, and Eucharistic devotion has borne extraordinary fruit. Known as the “miracle monk of Lebanon,” countless souls have testified to God’s healing through his intercession – a sign that even in suffering, God has not abandoned His people.
And yet today, Lebanon bleeds.
Reports continue to emerge of relentless bombardment in densely populated civilian areas – families, children, the elderly – lives shattered without warning. What we are witnessing is not simply warfare, but a grave assault on human dignity. The deliberate targeting or reckless endangerment of innocent life is never justified. NEVER.
The Church has always been clear: War itself is a tragedy – but the intentional harming of civilians is a moral evil that cries out to Heaven.
We must not grow numb to images of destruction. We must not allow political narratives to dull our conscience. Every child killed, every home destroyed, every mother weeping over her son – this is not abstract. This is human suffering. This is Christ crucified again in His people.
Lebanon has already endured decades of instability, economic collapse, and the exodus of Christians from the region. To strike this nation again – especially in ways that devastate civilian life – is to deepen wounds that may take generations to heal.
I call upon all leaders involved to remember this: power does not grant moral permission. Military strength does not justify the loss of innocent life. There can be no lasting peace built upon the graves of the defenseless.
And to the faithful, I say this: do not remain silent in your hearts. Pray. Fast. Offer sacrifice.
Pray for the people of Lebanon. Pray for the conversion of those who wield power without mercy. Pray for true peace – not the fragile silence of ceasefires, but the peace that comes from justice rooted in truth.
Through the intercession of St. Charbel Makhlouf, may God bring healing to the wounded, comfort to the grieving, and repentance to those who act without regard for the sanctity of life.
And may we never forget: Every human life is sacred, from conception to natural death, in every nation, without exception.
In Christ Our Hope,
Bishop Joseph E. Strickland
Bishop Emeritus

Today, the Nebraska Legislature failed to advance a commonsense measure that would have held public schools accountable for the basic literacy of the kids they are entrusted to educate.
Despite having the bipartisan support of an overwhelming majority of senators (more than 63%!), it could not even get a fair up-or-down vote because of the Legislature’s broken filibuster rule. This is not the first time the filibuster rule has obstructed bills that enjoyed the support of a clear majority of the People’s representatives. Pro-Life protections, tax reform, winner-take-all, keeping men out of women’s bathrooms, and other much-needed bills have been deprived of fair up-or-down votes by a minority of the Legislature.
Nebraskans are electing majorities Lincoln to get work done, only to have it die by an antiquated filibuster rule. This is dysfunctional and fails to serve the will of the people of our state.
Senators should put politics aside and get the People’s work done.

You don’t build a 40-mile heartbeat detection system to confirm one person in a desert. You build it because you want to identify specific individuals, and to do that, you need their cardiac EM signatures stored. How long have they been maintaining a database of people's heartbeat signatures, and how many people already have theirs stored?
Video from Nebraska Unicameral hearing: Bob Evnen testifies, dismissing voter fraud concerns & pushing back on voter integrity groups. He’s opposed & refused to collaborate on securing elections. But all the sudden he’s now some big champion of Trump’s plan to secure our elections? Total BS. Time for change in Secretary of State. #NEPol #ElectionIntegrity
