Mi hijo fue impedido de continuar haciendo su internado en el #HCAM como lo venía haciendo desde hace semanas.
Y, esto me releva por ahora de explicar quién es mi hijo. @danielnoboa@JaimeOBernabe@mjpintoec@Salud_Ec ⬇️
El que reza es consciente de sus propios límites, no mata ni amenaza con la muerte. En cambio, está sometido a la muerte quien ha dado la espalda al Dios vivo, para hacer de sí mismo y de su propio poder el ídolo mudo, ciego y sordo (Sal 115,4-8), al cual sacrificar todo valor y pretender que el mundo entero se doblegue ante él. ¡Basta ya de la idolatría de uno mismo y del dinero! ¡Basta ya de la exhibición de la fuerza! ¡Basta ya de la guerra! La verdadera fuerza se manifiesta en el servicio a la vida. #Paz
Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.
This breaks my heart. I own an apartment in Belgium and you know what insurance doesn’t cover against? Terror attacks. So sorry about it and for all people losing their properties, let alone their lives, due to this egoistic madness
I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics.
This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Ayer publiqué este video y Twitter lo eliminó.
Lo vuelvo a subir, para mostrar como en Suiza protestan por la captura de Maduro, pero los que protestan no son venezolanos.
Mis respetos para este valiente chamo. 💪🏼👏🏻🇻🇪
Dear Friends on X and other media and news platforms,
Irina and I wanted to thank all those people that have written to us to acknowledge our open letter and statement about Candace Owens.
This letter has now been read by tens of millions of people worldwide and the philosophical shift in the direction of truth that you all have helped to precipitate by sharing it, is palpable.
It is clear that Candace Owens has tremendous support from millions of sane, fair minded people who recognise that she is doing exactly what Charlie Kirk would have done for her.
It is also clear that a Christian nation and Christian individuals cannot move forward to sentence a man to death when it is clear that there may be some doubt that he is the killer or indeed that a 30-6 rifle (something that now seems to us to be increasingly unlikely) was the murder weapon at all.
We all have our own consciences.
Most of us know truth when we hear it.
Many of us recognise lies when we hear them.
We are reading all your replies.
We appreciate each and every one of them,
Please bear with us if it takes a little while for us to respond.
Please continue to pray for Candace and her family.
She is tremendously brilliant, but she is a young wife and mother with four young children and she needs all the prayers and love that you can muster for her.
Please continue to pray for Charlie, for Erika and for their family too.
The truth will set all of us free and is the only thing that will actually allow Charlie to rest in peace.
The truth is the only thing that will allow us to make peace with what has occurred.
We know Charlie well.
We are certain that Charlie is assisting, right now, with the truth coming to light.
Life is eternal.
Function and purpose do not end with death of a body.
Those that are withholding what they know should consider carefully the consequences to themselves, to Charlie and to their Nations.
No action, or inaction, is without consequence in this world.
And not one living being can avoid the judgement of their own conscience, let alone that of their creator.
The speed with which truth is coming into view is assisted and is accelerating as a result of all the above factors.
Thank you again, you are all helping.
All our love
John and Irina.
Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death
A longtime friend of Kirk tells The Grayzone how the late influencer's turning point on Israel provoked a private backlash that left him angry and afraid

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.
Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."
Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.
Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.
When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.
Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.
Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.
Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.
He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.
Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.
I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.
God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.
You ran a good race, my friend.
We've got it from here.
You're right. It's that simple. They're not real girls.
Orwell said: 'freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.'
Politicians too scared to state out loud that males have a physical advantage cannot defend women's rights.
My daughter was given an assignment to write a paper on inequality. She chose men in women's sports. Her professor has informed her she can't use that topic. She may write about the inequality that trans women face in sports but not the inequality women face because of "trans women" in sports. Make that make sense.
