Can President Trump PLEASE give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina?

They have literally rebuilt HUNDREDS of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE HELPING!!!!!

No group deserves it more.

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

You were duped. Again.

We all saw the “massive” walkout from the UN general assembly. It seemed like Bibi was talking to en empty room. Some journalists even reported that. Even some Israeli journalists made that claim.

Guess what. The media lied to you. Shocked?

Here are the facts.

The footage is real. As Netanyahu walked up to speak, dozens of diplomats got up and left. It looks like most of the world refused to listen to him. Some even called it proof that Israel is now a pariah state.

And now, reality.

More than 120 countries stayed. That's nearly two-thirds of the world.

All five veto powers stayed: the U.S., China, Britain and France.

So did most of Europe. Even Ireland, one of Israel's toughest critics remained.

So who walked out? And why does it look like so many?

Each country gets six seats in this hall, so when one delegation walks out, several people stand up and walk.

And the Palestinian mission had asked countries to bring as many staff as possible and walk out together.

That can make a walkout bigger than the number of countries behind it.

In Europe, Spain was the only major country to leave its seat empty.

In Latin America, Brazil walked out.

South Africa's seats were empty too.

The rest were mostly small Caribbean island nations, which skip most speeches anyway.

Even in the Muslim world, at least two countries, UAE and Bahrain, stayed.

The walkout was real, but most of the world stayed in the room.

Just thought you’d wanna know the truth.

Muslims complain that this Christian procession offended Muhammad and Allah—who do not like pork—and is therefore Islamophobic. They say they will leave Europe if there are more demonstrations like this.

I usually don’t comment on these people, but the juxtaposition here is too striking. Because Hanania and his ilk are blind to whole registers of human experience, they simply can’t see that out of the most profound dependence emerges the most profound love.

Islam is incompatible with Western cultures

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Many good points here, all boiling down to one fact

Islamists cannot abide any form of criticism and use the threat of violence to enforce their point of view : all of which is the opposite of the British democratic tradition

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

John Cleese is a British comedy legend, famous for satirising the British establishment and Christianity with his film “The Life Of Brian”. People have often said, “Well, if you’re going to make fun of Christianity, why don’t you make fun of Islam?” And John Cleese has said, “Well, because we’d be killed.”

And so it has come to pass: John Cleese has been critical of Islam, and as a result, has been the subject of a rather intimidating campaign by Islamists.

There’s a long list of Islamists using the threat of violence being to silence people in Britain.

The film “Lady of Heaven” offended Muslims in Sheffield, who forced a cinema to withdraw it by forming a huge angry mob which could have been straight out of Life of Brian. The authorities took no action against the mob; the entire chain pulled the film, rewarding the mob tactic.

When an autistic 14-year-old schoolboy in Wakefield accidentally scuffed a Koran, his mother was intimidated into groveling in front of a mob of angry Muslims. On behalf of her son, she even put on a headscarf to do so. This all happened with the acquiescence of the British authorities.

And a teacher at the grammar school in Batley, in Yorkshire, has been in hiding for five years, ever since he showed an image of the Prophet Mohammad. The Batley Grammar teacher is right to be nervous. In 2020, French school teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded after showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a civics class on freedom of expression.

This behaviour has decades-long roots. In the 1980s, novelist Salmon Rushdie had an official fatwa issued against him for his novel The Satanic Verses. Rushdie lived under the threat of Islamist violence for about 40 years until finally a Muslim jumped onto the stage and brutally attacked him, stabbing him several times and nearly killing him, blinding him in one eye.

Hey, never let it be said that Islamists don’t hold a grudge.

At the time, the establishment equivocated and Labour MPs even condemned Rushdie, siding with the mob to hoover up their votes. As the number of Islamists in Britain grows, and the establishment continues its cowardly acquiescence, expect this violence and intimidation to get worse.

The RAF Fairford attack could have been one of the biggest mass terrorist attacks in British history

The fact that it was stopped by a Farmer who saw people looking out of place and not from the community shows that diversity is not our strength

The opposite is in fact true

[Carl E. Olson @carleolson]

Many years ago, I exchanged letters with an atheist. In the course of our discussion, he made two statements about how the God of Christians was “unfair.”

It isn’t fair, he insisted, that God limits human freedom by imposing rules against various actions and desires.

And it also isn’t fair, he wrote, that God has allowed pain, suffering, and evil in this world. A good God, he argued, wouldn’t allow such things.

It was an example of having one’s cake and eating it, too. Or of having one’s sin and also ignoring the consequences.

Yes, the existence of evil is indeed perplexing, “as painful as it is mysterious,” says the Catechism. But the Christian faith, understood correctly, “constitutes the answer to this question” (CCC, par 309). It is part of the “drama of sin” in which free creatures can either accept or reject the Creator’s gift of love and life.

Of course, skeptics aren’t alone in complaints about divine fairness. I have sometimes thought, with sincere frustration, “This isn’t fair! Why did that happen to me? What is God doing?” On such occasions, the words of God to the prophet Ezekiel are worth contemplating: “Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?”

That question was put forth in the context of a virtuous man who “turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies…” If that man, God told the people, had turned away from wickedness and done what was “right and just,” he would have lived.

We know this is true and right, but we sometimes convince ourselves that we are the exception to the rule. Doesn’t God realize how fortunate he is to have us on his side? Sure, we don’t put it that way—but that’s basically what happens when we question, in one way or another, the very nature of what is good and evil.

It can be tempting to think we have complete autonomy, somehow separate and distinct from God himself.

That temptation was embraced by Adam and Eve when they committed the first sin: “In that sin man preferred himself to God and by that very act scorned him. He chose himself over and against God, against the requirements of his creaturely status and therefore against his own good” (CCC, par 398).

Thus, conversion is necessary; repentance is required.

And that is the heart of the parable of the two sons, uttered by Jesus to the chief priests and elders. Working in the vineyard—that is, the Kingdom—is to pursue the will of God, to seek holiness, and to strive after justice. The parable is simple enough: one son says he will not work, but then changes his mind; the other son gives lip service—“Yes, sir”—but fails to enter the vineyard. The first son, said Jesus, said, “I will not,” but “afterwards changed his mind and went.”

The Greek term used is closely related to the well-known word metanoia, which Saint John Paul II explained is a reference to “a radical change of mind and heart. It is necessary to turn away from evil and to enter the kingdom of justice, love and truth which is being established.”

The first son, in other words, listened to his conscience and then chose to enter the vineyard and to work with his father. This indicates his desire to accept the Father’s gift of divine sonship, to “obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Rom 8:21).

The second son, in the immediate context, represents the Pharisees, who said the right things but failed to do them. Words alone are not enough: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matt 7:21).

God created man with free will, and man freely rejected God’s fellowship. But God, through the humility of the Son, offers fellowship again.

Will we gladly enter the vineyard today?

A 2yr old toddler was thrown off an invader boat to his death as human traffickers were annoyed by him crying.

He was on the boat alongside his mum travelling across the Atlantic to Lanzarote when the tragedy took place, according to officials.

The horror follows reports of three men being arrested under allegations of gang-raping a woman on the same migrant boat back on September 16th.

And the government are remanding natives straight to jail for opposing this?!?!
