You must believe in Santa Claus if you think countries will freely give $300 billion to Iran to rebuild things we bombed, to stop a war we started.
We’ll give those countries foreign aid, military assistance & tariff waivers, with an agreement that they’ll forward funds to Iran.
People don’t realize how empty and dry Lake Powell is becoming
The water is so low, the hydropower generation at Glen Canyon Dam could soon become unreliable or impossible to use
Lone Rock beaches are completely dry, the boat launch dock is completely dry. You can see where the water level used to be not that long ago, the water is gone
Long-term drought and reduced snowpack are the claimed issues causing low water level
The thing is, the water was high not that many years ago. You would see people having fun, doing water sports and then 2022-2023 the low water became dramatic and it hasn’t recovered
STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT
Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.
Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.
Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.
Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.
Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.
This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

While the Cincinnati archbishop is kicking Catholics praying the Rosary off his cathedral steps to accommodate gay pride, esteemed Steubenville professors are worried that consecrating SSPX bishops will cause division in the Church. https://t.co/E1KofA26Xt
Thank you.
I have just been in an engagement with someone, and she brought up the Holy spirit as well. Why is it that when error is mentioned, somehow, we have to trust the Holy spirit? It is like those who promote error are telling us that it is the Holy spirit that is guiding the error they spread! Can the Holy Spirit guide errors?
By seeing the necessary consequences of the evils of Vatican II, we should be more convinced than ever of the need to adhere to the unadulterated Catholic Faith, which the pre-Vatican II popes sought to defend against the errors detailed in the SSPX Profession of Catholic Faith.
The SSPX understands this, and the Vatican does not.
And so in a real sense, the choice of sides in this matter should not be as difficult as some would have us believe: do we side with those blasphemously claiming that the Holy Ghost is guiding the self-destruction of the Church, or do we side with those willing to sacrifice their lives rather than betraying the Faith the Holy Ghost still safeguards today?
Here is my response to @FranciscanU letter to the @SSPXEN. Indeed like @StephenKokx has said, 'dont take your children to Franciscan! And there are many false 'friends' of the SSPX!
To the Theology Faculty of Franciscan University of Steubenville,
Dear Professors and Administrators,
Your open letter to the SSPX arrived in the midst of serious preparations for their episcopal consecrations with exhortations to humility, unity, and submission. It is beautifully worded. It is also, with respect, a document conspicuous for what it does not say.
You quote Pastor Aeternus at length on the duty of obedience to Rome. A fine choice. But you are silent on what faithful Catholics around the world, particularly here in Africa, where the Faith is received without irony or compromise, are actually asking:
obedience to Rome doing what, exactly? Blessing unions contrary to the natural law? Entertaining communion for the divorced and remarried as if Familiaris Consortio were an embarrassing first draft? Permitting ceremonies of other religions in St. Peter’s Basilica?
These are not rumours from schismatic pamphlets. These are documented events. Your letter does not mention them once.
You invoke Lumen Gentium on unity. You cite St. Paul on bearing one another’s burdens. And yet you produce twenty-six signatures calling on the SSPX to return to dialogue. Dialogue that has produced, over decades, Traditionis Custodes, the suppression of the old Mass in diocese after diocese, and the effective penalisation of priests who simply wish to offer the rite in which nearly every saint of the Western Church was formed. What exactly is the SSPX to dialogue its way back into?
From Africa I must speak plainly: we are accustomed to being told that our attachment to perennial doctrine is rigidity, that our resistance to the gradual normalization of error is a failure of charity, and that the antidote to every crisis in the Church is more process and more patience.
Meanwhile, the doctrinal crisis that occasioned Archbishop Lefebvre’s original resistance has not been resolved, it has deepened. You write that “the call for continued conversion and renewal applies to all members at all levels in the Church.”
Quite so. We are still waiting for that conversion at the top.
You ask, echoing Our Lord: “Do you also want to leave?” It is a moving question.
But the SSPX has not left. They have remained Catholic in the fullest sense of the word, holding fast to what was handed down, when much of the institutional Church was busy handing it away. You may dispute their canonical status. You cannot honestly dispute their orthodoxy.
Christ promised He would not leave us orphans. He did not promise He would leave us without confusion, scandal, or suffering at the hands of poor shepherds. The faithful laity and priests who cling to Tradition do so not out of pride or nostalgia, but because they have looked at what is being offered in its place and found it wanting.
Twenty-six theologians urging submission to an ambiguous authority is not the same as twenty-six theologians defending the unchanging Faith. The former is easy. We have seen plenty of it.
I pray for true unity in the Church. Unity in truth, not merely in structure. Until then, I ask the signatories: before calling for the humility of others, what are you yourselves prepared to say clearly?
In Christ and His unchanging Church,
A Traditional Catholic Faithful

The King’s official job is to protect faith “within the multi-faith nation”, under a newly published palace definition of the monarch’s role.

For the sake of his immortal soul, I pray King Charles III abdicates, repents of having taken his coronation oath (which he is violating), and becomes a defender of the actual one true faith by becoming Catholic.
This presumably includes the Vatican instructions about Synod working group documents, which are to be implemented ahead of the 2028-2029 sessions. That includes Working Group 9's diabolical document.
The second Venezuela stops trending, it is like the earthquake never happened for most people. But on the ground it is still hell.
It is the same cycle every time. Earthquake hits . Buildings collapse. Hundreds dead quickly.
At first the videos are everywhere. Rubble, screams, bodies pulled out. Everyone suddenly cares and shares.
Then it slows. The dramatic clips stop. The attention moves on and it becomes old news.
On the ground nothing has changed. People are still trapped, still sleeping outside in the ruins, still out there with bare hands moving concrete looking for loved ones. Families digging and digging even when they probably know what they will find.

And today, after the three successive meetings with Cardinal Fernandez, the Pope received in audience Archbishop Filippo Iannone, Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops.
It may mean nothing.
Or it may mean something. In 1988, it was the Prefect for Bishops, Cardinal Gantin, who signed the Decree of Excommunications for the Econe consecrations: https://t.co/LWxP046oQ3
The reality is that 95% of Catholics have no idea what the Church teaches on a variety of issues nor cares, while Rome fiddles on how to practice Synodality.
