One day it's the last day, the last slice of granny's pie, last swing on the old tire, last night of chasing your cousins thru fields, last time hearing grandpa's stories.. you won't know it's the last time but you'll spend the rest of your life driving by wishing for one more
Womp womp womp….
Pope Leo says someone who is in favor of Abortion, but also in favor of the death penalty is not really Pro-life. Neither is the inhumane treatment of immigrants..
Sorry dipshit… you’re wrong..
Pro-life refers to the protection of babies lives, who have done nothing wrong. The death penalty is reserved for the guilty who have committed grave sins against the innocent to preserve the lives of others.
God is pretty clear about this… and both Preserve life, therefore, both are PRO-LIFE.
🔻Guilty
• “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” (Genesis 9:6)
• “Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.” (Exodus 21:12)
🔻 The Unborn
• “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
• The law distinguished harm to a pregnant woman and the child she carried, treating the loss of the child’s life as a serious offense (Exodus 21:22–25).
The consistent biblical pattern is that innocent blood is not to be shed, while the deliberate taking of innocent life (murder) is among the crimes for which the community may exact the ultimate penalty under due process.

@NoVA_Campaigns Liberals are destroying the environment in the name of saving the environment. We can put solar panels by highways, on roofs or dozen other places. We don't need to raze forests.
33 years ago this weekend, two Delta Force snipers made a choice almost nobody would make.
Master Sergeant Gary Gordon was 33, from Lincoln, Maine, with a wife and two young kids at home. Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart was 35, a farm kid from Newville, Pennsylvania.
On October 3, 1993, they were in a Black Hawk circling over Mogadishu when another Black Hawk, Super 64, was shot down. Pilot Mike Durant was alive in the wreckage with a broken back and a crushed leg. His crew was hurt. There were no friendly ground forces anywhere near them, and hundreds of armed militia and locals were already converging on the crash site.
From the air, Gordon and Shughart could see exactly what was coming.
They asked to be dropped in. Command said no.
They asked again. No again.
They asked a third time and finally got the green light.
Their helicopter set them down nearby and they fought their way to the wreck on foot. Two men, carrying only what they had on them. They pulled Durant out of the cockpit, set him up in a safer position, and started holding off the crowd.
For a while, it worked. They kept the mob back with precise, steady fire while the numbers against them kept growing.
Shughart was killed first.
Gordon kept fighting alone. When he was nearly out of ammunition, he went back to Durant, handed him a rifle, and told him good luck. Then he went back out. He was killed minutes later.
Durant was captured, beaten, and held for 11 days. He came home alive. He has said for decades that he's only here because of those two men.
In 1994 Gordon and Shughart were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the first since Vietnam. The Navy later named two ships after them, the USNS Gordon and the USNS Shughart.
They didn't stumble into that fight. They watched it from above, understood the odds, and asked three times to go anyway.
Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart. Remember their names.
@benonwine Wow. When called out for it I’m sure Shebana Mahmoud will say these are the safe and legal routes she’s been working on and it’s a good thing🙄
Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in 1903 had to pass a doctor’s exam that checked for diseases like tuberculosis and trachoma. In 1906, 12,432 people were turned away at the door. The ones who got in brought $25 MILLION in cash with them, because they knew nobody was going to hand them anything.
There was no welfare, no food stamps, and no Medicaid. They had to actually work, or they were sent back.
Also, Back in 1903 assimilation was the goal. Congress passed a law in 1906 requiring anyone who wanted citizenship to speak English, and companies like Ford ran their own schools to teach English, safety, and American history. A Ford English School diploma even counted toward a person’s citizenship application.
Back when we were a proper country.. 💔💔
I never thought I'd hear a "Takbir" in Times Square.
"Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here," you said. We believed you.
"Here I am," we all said. "Send me." So we heeded our nation's call and went to war.
To keep that hell off our shores.
But then you invited them here. They came, en masse.
We came back too, fewer in number. Many of us came back in caskets. Some just became part of the soil over there.
Now they say, "We are taking over New York."
We answered when you called. You owed us something in return — a country to come back to.
@GuntherEagleman@GuntherEagleman come on, a group of black teens, why are you leaving out this important detail? The mainstream already refuses to cover such incidents.
🚨 EUROPE IS BEING CONQUERED BY ISLAM WHILE TEXAS IS STILL LETTING THEM BUILD.
TEXAS HAS THE RECORD. SO WHY IS THIS MINI-CITY STILL EXPANDING? WHAT ARE WE DOING, AMERICA!?
The highly controversial Islamic Center of Irving - already facing a record of incendiary sermons, sexual-abuse cases, and multimillion-dollar litigation - isn't just finishing another mosque
It is building the ICI Waqf Oasis - approximately 62,000 square feet of commercial space and apartments, projected to cost about $16.5 million and intended to generate roughly $1.5 million every year for the mosque, Islamic school, Tanzeel, youth programs, outreach, and other operations.
In other words: build the property and the community, collect the revenue, fund the institution year after year.
The project is now 85 percent complete.
On October 4, ICI holds a fundraiser to finish the final 15 percent. Donate $1,000 or more and supporters receive a commemorative “completion block.”
But before another block goes into this project, Texans should understand what they are helping build around them and who holds the property.
The main ICI property is held by the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) as a waqf.
NAIT is not some random real-estate company. Its history is intertwined with the institutional network that grew out of the Muslim Students Association and the Muslim Brotherhood milieu in North America.
That matters because the waqf model is about permanence: preserve the asset and use its proceeds to support designated institutions over the long term.
The Oasis takes that model and adds a revenue engine.
And look at what has already come from this campus.
Imam Muhammad Abdullah told the room:
“If we don’t like the way the police is dealing with us, we got to become the police. You have to get politically organized. That was the Black Panther Party.”
He has talked about entering public office to “strengthen Muslim American identity” and “show the true light of Islam in the public square.”
Then Dr. Rudolph “Butch” Ware III, the 2024 Green Party vice-presidential nominee, stood on that stage and declared:
“Victory over the empire is promised… All empires fall. It is only a matter of time. I was never expecting that Allah was going to give me the opportunity to run on a presidential ticket that is designed to end the American empire now.”
🚨NOW LOOK AT THE OTHER RECORD FROM THIS CAMPUS.
Former head imam Zia ul-Haq Sheikh was ordered to pay $2.55 million after a woman said he began counseling her at the mosque when she was 13, groomed her for years, and later had a sexual encounter with her at a motel when she was 19.
Hired in 2005. Forced out in 2017. Judgment in 2019. Affirmed on appeal in 2021.
$1.5 million for mental anguish. $750,000 in exemplary damages. $300,000 in attorney's fees.
Sheikh denied the allegations. This was a civil judgment, not a criminal conviction.
Then security guard Syed Humzah Hashmi pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and child-pornography counts after a boy attending the Islamic School of Irving said Hashmi took him into an empty classroom and assaulted him.
Twenty years.
🚨And now another lawsuit.
A 2026 lawsuit alleges that a woman cleaning the Islamic School of Irving on September 27, 2024, was raped by a 14-year-old former student — and that personnel failed to call police after she reported it.
The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million and names the Islamic Center of Irving, its school board president, and NAIT.
The petition says the juvenile later pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault and received 25 years. Those juvenile records are sealed. The civil allegations against the defendants remain pending.
Now go back to the construction site.
62,000 square feet. Commercial property. Apartments. A perpetual endowment structure. An estimated $1.5 million in annual revenue.
This is why October 4 matters.
They aren't simply finishing walls.
THEY ARE BUILDING THE FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO FUND WHAT COMES NEXT.
TEXAS CAN SEE THE ENTIRE RECORD.
AND THEY'RE STILL POURING CONCRETE.
At first, Jean-Pierre did not understand.
He watched the evening news, paid his taxes, voted responsibly and believed what respectable people told him.
1. France needed immigration because the economy needed workers.
2. Diversity was an opportunity.
3. Public services were under pressure because they lacked funding.
4. Disorder at school was caused by inequality.
5. Crime statistics required context.
6. Anyone who connected these things too quickly was probably an extremist.
Then his children started coming home from school saying they could barely hear the teacher.
Half the lesson was spent restoring order.
Teachers changed constantly.
Some simply disappeared for weeks.
Jean-Pierre complained once, politely.
The administration explained that the situation was “challenging” and that the school was developing an “inclusive pedagogical response.”
Jean-Pierre went home reassured.
There were professionals dealing with it.
His neighbourhood changed too.
Shops closed.
Others appeared.
Groups of men occupied the same corners every evening.
His wife stopped taking one street after dark.
Jean-Pierre noticed all of this, but he had also learned that noticing patterns was dangerous.
So every event remained an isolated event.
One closed shop meant nothing.
One assault meant nothing.
Ten incidents meant ten unrelated incidents.
Only a racist would connect dots.
Then his daughter was sexually assaulted by a man who had recently arrived in France.
Jean-Pierre was devastated.
But almost immediately he began policing his own thoughts.
The attacker was an individual. Of course.
One must never generalise.
The television explained that exploiting such crimes politically was irresponsible.
A minister warned against “stigmatisation.”
Jean-Pierre found himself nodding through tears.
What had happened to his daughter was monstrous, but the truly frightening possibility, apparently, was that somebody somewhere might vote for the wrong party because of it.
Nothing changed.
His son’s school became worse.
His daughter stopped going out alone.
His wife wanted to move.
The police were exhausted.
The teachers were exhausted.
The hospitals were exhausted.
Jean-Pierre was exhausted.
Yet every explanation he had been given required him to believe that each deterioration was temporary, accidental, exaggerated or caused by something entirely unrelated to the deterioration immediately beside it.
And whenever somebody proposed that perhaps the country had made serious mistakes — about migration, authority, education, policing, integration, punishment or borders — Jean-Pierre knew the correct answer.
“Careful. That sounds like the far right.”
So he remained reasonable.
He remained moderate.
He remained informed.
He remained completely incapable of drawing a conclusion from his own life.
So at first, Jean-Pierre did not understand.
And he still does not understand.
In Virginia, Spotsylvania County’s Solar farm is the largest in US east of Rockies. 6,350 acres, with 3,500 acres covered in Chinese Jinko Solar panels. Over 1/2 the power goes to @Microsoft@Apple data centers
@GovernorVA & @vademocrats just green lit 300,000 more solar acres
What happens when socialism comes to New York?
Street Smart and The Free Press took the question to the street, with someone who lived it in Venezuela.

@toast2slices@Discohyena@GRYPRX The native indian tribes were warring & taking land from eachother before British Protestants came and settled it
Early immigrants settled raw land, built towns from the ground up. It’s very different than immigrants today coming into a developed nation & frankly a welfare state
