👀 It’s like Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire,’ but without lyrics & covering…the *entire sweep* of 🇺🇸 history.
Paused it for research & debated if it’s missing a handful of milestones. Overall? Extraordinary. Highly recommended. 🪁⚡️#America250
James Talarico says "I think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity."
So, this guy hates Christianity, meat, guns, oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that the Bible justifies abortion, and that God is 'non-binary.'
One thing I'm taking from the rape gang report is that British social workers are some of the most evil, sadistic perverts on the planet. A huge number of the most grievous cases of abuse involve a social worker standing by and letting it happen, or actively facilitating it.
The victim testimony of 'Felicity' from the Rape Gang Inquiry is the most horrifying thing I’ve read in my life.
She was 8 years old when it started…
> First assaulted just after her 8th birthday, lured into a back room on the pretext of helping put up a shelf
>Told she'd be "taken away" if she ever spoke, which was the start of years of rape and torture
>Trafficked on to groups of older Muslim men, collected by taxi after school and on church nights
>Forced to take part in the abuse of other children, used deliberately to "normalise" it and buy her silence
>Groomed with a fake love story: told a man "adored" her, that marrying him was "God's plan," and that she had to convert to Islam
>Handed a book on Islam by one of her abusers and told to learn it
Then came the captivity:
>Held in houses with an upstairs "punishment room" fitted with dog-crate enclosures
>Watched a girl accused of going to police have a hot iron pressed into her back. That girl later died. Felicity saw her strangled
>She and another girl, "Char," were both impregnated. Every pregnancy ended in miscarriage
>Later told the men had killed Char and she would "never come back"
>Saw a girl shot in front of her by a man she believed was a serving police officer
>Threatened that she'd be "chopped up and fed to pigs" if she ever told
It only escalated:
>Loaded into a van in a crate with other girls, some trafficked in from abroad to be "sold," who spoke no English
>Made to watch a girl be stabbed, beaten and set on fire for talking back to a buyer
>Hung upside down by her feet, whipped and urinated on by a man who openly idolised Fred West
>”Purchased" for a night and raped by numerous men while her main abuser sat and watched
>Forced to witness a baby tortured with cigarettes and then killed, while its mother was made to watch
And through all of it, no one believed her...
>For years she was disbelieved and dismissed, she says, treated as though she was inventing what was being done to her
>She had carried it almost entirely alone. Her statement to the Inquiry was the first time in her life she had ever been able to give a full account of what happened to her. No one before had ever properly listened
>When she finally found the courage to report one of her abusers as an adult, at 27, she was not believed
...you don't understand
SO SO SO many people need to be executed for this.
@MattMackowiak@ScottPresler Come on Matt. Be better than this—Cornyn has so much influence, that’s what we’re talking about. Don’t just name call. Sigh.
The Texas Rangers are the only MLB team who doesn’t celebrate Pride Night.
They’re skipping Pride Night again & instead, they’re having a Faith & Family Night June 18th
Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, & other players will share their testimonies/faith in Jesus Christ as a part of the event.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
@lyndseyfifield@CurtisHouck@sunsettinglibs2 Amazing. Brave, inspiring, hard truth. Praying for you & your dear family who we’ve all enjoyed watching grow and thrive. God will not allow your obedience to return void. Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. 🙏🏻💕
He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.
But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.
You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.
