A coalition of Muslims and far-left activists in New York openly pledges allegiance to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic regime, declaring that the U.S. is the real terrorist instead.

America is literally being infested by jihadists and the Islamic plague.

Of you haven't heard this speech, you must listen. Marco Rubio tied together the western civilization from Greece philosophy to current and all the foundations that make Western civilization great. Worth fighting for.

[Dana Loesch @DLoesch]

The entire team, plus SoS, knocked it out of the park.
The framing, locale, the speech, THIS is the type of speech America loves: celebrating our light while making zero apologies for our strengths.
Great job, @marcorubio @SecRubio !

🚨BREAKING: Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters lays out her first 30 days plan.

If elected in 2027, she says she will:

- End sanctuary city policies immediately
- Launch a full forensic audit of all municipal budget activities to track exactly where taxpayer money is going
- Go directly into communities to recruit qualified Chicagoans as police officers
- Create strong incentives to hire and retain officers to close the nearly 2,000-officer shortage

Carter-Walters, a Chicago native, small business owner, and wife of a retired CPD officer, says: “When people know their leadership cares about them, supports them, and has their backs, they don’t mind working hard for you.”

She is positioning herself as a common-sense alternative focused on public safety, fiscal accountability, and putting Chicagoans first.

Beware! Signs of what is coming

Anyone who is younger than 60 years old should be aware of what former Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev said during an address to the United Nations in 1959...."Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but, we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism.

We will not have to fight you. We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not"

It was September 29, 1959, when Nikita Khrushchev delivered his prediction for America at the United Nations. I was just 10 years old, but I remember like it was yesterday the television coverage of him banging his shoe on the podium.

At that time, just the word "communism" was feared throughout our nation.

Remember this. Socialism leads to Communism How do you create a Socialist State?

There are eight levels of control…

1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.

3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level.

That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government . That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6) Education - Take control of what people read, listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.

8)Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the rich with the support of the poor.

Here is our scary future: Six of those levels are already being pushed - ARE YOU AWAKE?

All of these levels are being worked on including erasing history, and destroying monuments now.

Another thing that happens when tyrants take over, they remove the police and put their own henchmen in their place.

Sound familiar?

Are you awake?

I pray you are!

Please share!

Former communist Bella Dodd admitted to sending over 1000 communist men into seminaries in 1940 and 50s knowing destruction of Catholic morality would bring down the Church and therefore our society. It was a planned attack by communism to over throw America. Pray for America.

[Catholic Christendom @shiningsweu]

Dreadful Fate

Faithful Catholics who genuinely recognize the grave spiritual assault happening in the Catholic Church have an obligation to resist it and should not simply stand by and watch. There is a duty to resist it according to truth, prudence—without jeopardizing truth—and charity—without jeopardizing truth. Truth is the sole measure here, and according to it, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is infested with liars, from top to bottom.

It is impossible to cope with liars dressed as Catholics. This is the time when the Catholic Church is being used and abused by evildoers, in fact, by wolves in sheep’s clothing. This is dreadful. Some know where to find refuge away from their evil influences, but others who are aware cannot make up their minds and neglect the proximity of evil. I hope I make myself clear without saying names. This great confusion only serves those who are using and abusing the Catholic Church, from top to bottom.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just CAUGHT $175 MILLION in federal payments that were headed to DEAD PEOPLE — and stopped it in its tracks

$3.7 TRILLION in payments were also verified in a single year to ensure no fraud

13,500 payments stopped before the money ever left 👏🏻

BESSENT: "We are moving beyond ‘pay and chase’s and making prevention the federal government’s first line of defense."

Under Biden, only 4% of federal programs could check the "Do Not Pay" fraud list. Under Trump, it's now 99%. BIG WIN

Stop the fraud BEFORE it happens. This is what I voted for! 🇺🇸

This is an interesting distinction between the top 1% and the bottom 1%.

[Brian Burgess @Burgess7281975]

Au contraire. Saying that the Blessed Virgin Mary only bore the “human” Christ or only bore His human nature is textbook Nestorianism.

Not only is Nestorianism completely inapposite with Scripture it was Universally Condemned at the Council of Ephesus (in A.D. 431) and subsequently the Councils of Chalcedon (A.D. 451) and the Second Council of Constantinople (A.D. 553).

Jesus Christ is a Single Divine Person of two Natures meaning He is Fully God and fully man. As He is Fully God He is Uncreated and Eternal but was Incarnate in the Virgin Mary. The Infant Jesus that Mary bore is Fully God and fully man and these two Natures are inseparable and this inseparability is what Christians call “Hypostatic Union” and it is the Perpetual Teaching of Holy Mother Church.

Therefore the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God.

It is important to understand that Jesus is NOT a creature (He is a Single Divine Person) despite possessing a human nature. This in no way bears on the Blessed Virgin being His Mother as mothers do not “create” their babies (to claim that they do, and that therefore souls are not spontaneously generated by God, is a Heresy called “Traducianism”).

Therefore, again, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God fully and not in some qualified of relative way.

Now, onto the Ecumenical Councils:

(1) The Council of Ephesus (A.D. 431)

Twelve Anathemas Proposed by Cyril and accepted by the Council of Ephesus

1. If anyone does not confess that Emmanuel is God in truth, and therefore that the holy virgin is the mother of God, for she bore in a fleshly way the Word of God become flesh, let him be anathema.

Letter of Cyril to John of Antioch about peace

“O fools, whose only competence is in slander! How did you become so perverted in thought and fall into such a sickness of idiocy? For you must surely know that almost all our fight for the faith arose in connexion with our insistence that the holy virgin is the mother of God. But if we claim that the holy body of our common saviour Christ is born from heaven and was not of her, why should she still be considered God-bearer? For whom indeed did she bear, if it is untrue that she bore Emmanuel according to the flesh? It is rather they who speak such nonsense against me who deserve to be ridiculed. For the holy prophet Isaiah does not lie when he says, “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted God with us”. Again the holy Gabriel speaks total truth when he says to the blessed virgin: “Do not fear, Mary. You have found favour with God, and behold you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you will call his name Jesus . For he will save his people from their sins”.

(2) The Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451)

“1God the Father almighty and in
2Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord,
3who was born of the holy Spirit and the virgin Mary.

These three statements wreck the tricks of nearly every heretic. When God is believed to be both almighty and Father, the Son is clearly proved to be co-eternal with him, in no way different from the Father, since he was born God from God, almighty from the Almighty, co-eternal from the Eternal, not later in time, not lower in power, not unlike in glory, not distinct in being. The same eternal, only-begotten of the eternal begetter was born of the holy Spirit and the virgin Mary. His birth in time in no way subtracts from or adds to that divine and eternal birth of his: but its whole purpose is to restore humanity, who had been deceived, so that it might defeat death and, by its power, destroy the devil who held the power of death. Overcoming the originator of sin and death would be beyond us, had not he whom sin could not defile, nor could death hold down, taken up our nature and made it his own. He was conceived from the holy Spirit inside the womb of the virgin mother. Her virginity was as untouched in giving him birth as it was in conceiving him.”

EL-SAYED GOT CAUGHT FLAT-FOOTED ON BASIC FACTS.

He told Fox the average wait to see a cardiologist in America is two and a half months, and claimed other countries move faster. Wrong. In the U.S., that nonurgent first appointment averages about 33 days. In the U.K., it’s 11 weeks. In Canada, more than a third wait three months or longer.

He wants to lecture America on healthcare while peddling numbers that don’t hold up. If he can’t get the basics right on TV, why should Michigan trust him with the Senate?

Democrats seized power in 2021.

Within three years, millions crossed our border. Overdoses hit records and killed over 100,000 Americans yearly.

The Taliban retook Afghanistan. Russia invaded Ukraine. Hamas slaughtered more than a thousand Israelis. Gaza was rightfully reduced to rubble.

Inflation hit 21.5%, leaving families paying $14,300 more a year to live.

Men entered our daughters bathrooms and competed in their sports.

Political opponents faced relentless lawfare.

The list of failures is endless.

You mean refuting Sola Scriptura with Scripture?

Ok.

⁃John 20:30 “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of [his] disciples that are not written in this book.”

⁃John 21:25 “There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.”

⁃2 Thessalonians 3:6 (Shun those not acting in accordance with Tradition)

⁃2 Peter 1:20 “no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation.”

⁃2 Peter 3:16 “some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.”

Woman who used to live in Iran under Sharia Law explains what it’s like

- When she turned 9 she was told she’s ready to be a mother
- In elementary school, during religious studies they tell little girls that if their hair is is out they're gonna be hanged from the strings of their hair and burn in hell
- They also told little girls in elementary school that if they speak to other boys, they're gonna be hanged from their tongues and burn in hell
- She says people are essentially starved during Ramadan because they aren’t allowed to eat, even pregnant women

“I was arrested twice by the morality police before the age of 16 for wearing open-toed sandals and painted toenails and having a quarter of my arm out. They took me to the station and I had to sign a bunch of paperwork and basically just saying that if this happens again, the consequences are going to be a lot worse.”

She says if you are 9 years old and a man is sexually attracted to you that’s your fault

She says she would be executed for making this video

My perspective on this is simple, Islam is a cancer to the world and it’s spreading. Democrats and liberals have completely allied themselves with Muslims and THIS is how America is going to be unless we stop the Democrat Party

Islam is a death cult who conquered and demand submission. It’s the most extreme oppressive government imaginable masquerading as a religion

DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

It's incredible that citizens in places like France can spend so much energy on Jews, Zionists, and Israel - which have virtually no tangible impact on their daily lives.

But totally avoid the topic of Muslim immigrants from third-world countries who aren't assimilating - and are rioting in the streets.

French team wins the Champions League - violent riots.

France has a protest over budgets - more violent riots.

France has group rape committed disproportionately Muslims from third-world countries - silence.

France has constant terrorist attacks by radicalized Muslims - silence.

It's not racist or Islamophobic to talk about this.

In fact, other Muslims, immigrants, brown, and black people - who do love Western values - should be calling out the misbehavior of those who don't.

Because if you don't talk about it, only the racists and Islamophobes will.

France - the reason you keep having riots is because you keep allowing people into the country who do not share your values or value your norms.

This isn't logically complicated, it's just emotionally scary to say.

You must find the courage to have the conversation.

You must overcome the postcolonial white guilt that causes you to hold your tongues.

By the way - the reason you have people waving Palestine flags at these riots is because they see the world as brown+black vs white.

As dark-skinned people versus light-skinned people.

As oppressed versus oppressors.

They aren't thinking from first-principles about domestic issues.

They are attached to a global ideology.

That's why there were many Palestine flags at the ICE protests in LA too.

It's a dysfunctional, but common view of the world.

And antithetical to Western, colorblind, universal values.

Jews, Zionists, and Israel have little to do with your problems in your neighborhoods - unchecked Muslim third-world immigration does.

If you are more focused on problems outside your house than inside your house, you have the wrong priorities.

Get your house in order.

They don’t teach this in schools.

But the Islamic slave trade started in the 7th century, centuries before the Atlantic slave trade, and it’s still ongoing today.

Across Arabia and the caliphates, they enslaved 18 million Africans in the name of Allah, and castrated the males so they could not reproduce.

Unlike Europeans, who have been forced to apologize multiple times, Arabs and Muslims have shown zero remorse.

Donald Trump calls for for Congress to pass MANDATORY prison sentences for ALL Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security programs fraudsters

Under this proposal if any politicians knows about fraud taking place they too will be held accountable

“Today, I'm calling on Congress to pass legislation to address fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security programs. First, Congress must impose mandatory minimum sentences on fraudsters who steal from critical benefit programs designed to take care of the sick, feed the hungry, care for our children, and protect our senior citizens' retirements. Under our proposal, probation is no longer an option for the fraudsters. If you steal from the American people, you will go to prison and for a long period of time. And the more you steal, the longer you'll stay in that prison.”

“If you're a convicted fraudster who gets caught stealing from The American people a second time, your sentence will be doubled. Second, Congress must make sure that crooked and corrupt politicians who willfully turn a blind eye to fraud finally face real consequences.

Under our proposal, if a state or local politician knows about fraud and has the ability to stop it but does nothing about it, they can be personally liable for the full loss of the American taxpayers' money that they should have stopped and they should have saved.”

This is the ONLY way to stop the fraud you have to send politicians and the people committing the fraud to prison

If there is no real punishment then there is no way this will ever change

Donald Trump is FINALLY proposing a real solution to the fraud taking place and it just be passed

Of course every Democrat in Congress will be against this because they’re all complicit

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

When I was about five or six years old, my uncle, who had never been religious and had lost all his wealth in a bad business deal in Kuwait after the Gulf War, decided to return to Allah and become a devout Muslim.

I remember he went to Pakistan or Afghanistan for six months on a mission trip.

When he came back, the first thing he did was drag our huge TV outside and throw it in the garbage and started taking me with him to the mosque five times a day.

I grew up exposed to what was said inside the da’wah groups.

My uncle was not a jihadi, but he was deeply involved in da’wah, Islamic evangelism.

For years, I accompanied him during summers and weekends on mission trips across Jordan, visiting mosques around the country with other members of the da’wah movement.

I still remember visiting Al-Hajar Mosque in the city of Zarqa, the same mosque of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, years before he became known.

When I was eleven, my parents moved to another city, and I stopped going with my uncle.

But when I was seventeen, the protests that erupted across the Islamic world after the Danish cartoons of Muhammad pulled me back to the mosque, and I spent another year with da’wah groups, until God miraculously changed my life and I converted to Christianity.

Those years in the da’wah movement as a young kid gave me an exceptional ability to see through these people.

The moment someone speaks, I can diagnose how infected he is with the spirit of jihad.

I wish I could lend my eyes to Western governments so they could see how deeply their institutions have been infiltrated.

The majority of those who present themselves as “moderate” or “normal” Muslims in Islamic organisations or Media, are on a mission. Once naturalized, they know exactly how to exploit the system to advance the goals of da'wah.

And those who are running for public offices are very serious muslims who are on a mission to serve Islam by taking over the West.
