St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness & snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
& do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
& all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Do you think God loves that little 8 year old child less than he loves you?
Do you think that his parents, being devout catholics, didn't pray daily for his protection?
Do you think they weren’t fervently pleading to God to spare the live of their son as he was being rushed to the hospital?
Do you think that God ignored those desperate cries because of some sin in their lives, or because having a church full of children be gunned down is part of some divine plan, or because perhaps he doesn't exist at all?
Or could it be,
that the same free will that God has endowed you with, he has also given to your enemies?
"I am sending you out like lambs among wolves." Our Lord said to his disciples, and yet the modern church buries its head in some sand of theological ignorance and pretends the wolf doesn't have teeth.
“When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“But now" said the Lord, "if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
Our enemies know all too well, but the church is for some reason still completely unaware that we are living in that "but now" moment.
Yes, the battle is the Lords, but if there's anything to be learned from the life of King David, it's that sometimes you must still swing the sword.
And if we are to survive under the immense pressure and constant threats of violence while we continue to build the church, then we must look to the story of Nehemiah for the age old solution to the problem of violent opposition.
"Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon."
I think about that verse often.
A tool in one hand and a weapon in the other.
Don't get me wrong, we should pray for supernatural protection, absolutely.
But like Nehemiah who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem amidst armed armies, the biblical solution is clear.
While we work to restore the broken and collapsed remnants of Christendom,
keep a bible in one hand, and a rifle in the other.
The only savior you need is not a politician or elite rich person. But the one who born in a barn, served the people, nailed to a cross, all because he knew that you were worth it.
Jesus loves you.
I want to invent a new kind of involuntary gambling: I force you to pay 15% of your income into a fund—for your entire life. At 67, you start slowly getting that money back. If you live to around 82, congrats—you break even and start making a profit. But if you die before then? You and your family get nothing.
It’s basically a bet on how long you’ll live.
The real-life version of Survivor.
When I propose it, I’m a dystopian psychopath.
When the government actually does it, it’s called Social Security.
And when I point this out, I’m an asshole.
This is a HUGE opportunity to remove suppressors and even SBRs from the NFA.
Big thank you to @Rep_Clyde and @chiproytx for their work on making this happen.
@SpeakerJohnson the entire 2A lobby wants this to pass.
@tedcruz we could really use the support, it would mean a lot.
@QasimRashid They are collecting 500 billion LESS. Meaning they’ve been collecting that much and still haven’t solved any of that shit. The government does not give a fuck about us. Please stop pretending they will if you give them more money.
Real ID isn’t a database.
It’s proof that your physical person matches an entry in the digital database.
Its power & purpose will be realized when everyone complies, but not before.
This is responsive to “I didn’t give them much information, I’ve had one for years, why worry?”
Congress literally shut down for an entire week over a spat about whether new moms and dads serving in the House of Representatives should be allowed to stay home and vote.
Imagine if we were this passionate about saving the country from fiscal ruin and perpetual war.
I’m not voting for the Continuing Resolution budget (cut-copy-paste omnibus) this week. Why would I vote to continue the waste fraud and abuse DOGE has found?
We were told the CR in December would get us to March when we would fight.
Here we are in March, punting again!

Inside every person with a useless 4-year degree, there are two wolves: one that won’t shut the fuck up about how incredibly smart they are, and one that can’t stop whining about how they can’t afford their student loans. One’s holding a latte, the other’s holding a “Help Me, I’m Drowning in Debt” sign. Both are equally insufferable.
