Good-faith proponents of slower, more limited deportation operations should remember that Americans endured 15 million illegal aliens in four years, plus countless abuses of our legal visa programs. That was heavy-handed against Americans. No excuses. No exceptions. Every single illegal alien has to go swiftly.

[Courage Is A Habit @CourageHabit]

If Republicans think they can win over an average 25-30 year old woman about abortion on the campaign trail, they’re about 15-20 years too late.

Show them all the demonic abortion photos of a baby, show them all the statistics that prove almost 0% of women die from giving birth….none of it matters.

You’re fighting with facts and facts don’t matter, you’re trying to fight a discipleship that got to those girls when they were 8 years old.

So if you’re not spending an enormous amount of time and resources in government K-12, then we’ll lose the war.

ST. AUGUSTINE ON MAINTAINING CATHOLIC UNITY IN SPITE OF SCANDALS

That you can read a 1,600 year old sermon as if delivered yesterday is, itself, profound—a cause for rejoicing as a Catholic. The Church—the threshing floor—remains.

I am thankful beyond the power of words to express for the role that the Catholic witness of St. Augustine had in bringing me Home to the Church!

St. Augustine, pray for us!

“There are those who, though called believers, are not so. There are believers in whom the sacraments of Christ are subjected to abuse; persons who live in such a way that they themselves perish, and they ruin others. They themselves perish by evil living; they destroy others, however, by giving the example of evil living. Do not wish, my dearly beloved, to be associated with such as these. Seek the good; cleave to the good; be good.

Do not be surprised at the large number of bad Christians who fill the church, who communicate at the altar…They can exist along with us in the Church of this time, but they will not be able to remain in that assembly of saints which will be after the resurrection. For the Church of this time, since it has good mixed with bad, is compared to a threshing floor where grain is mixed with chaff; but, after the judgment, it will have all good members without the evil. This threshing floor contains the harvest sown by the Apostles, watered by subsequent good teachers down to the present times, somewhat bruised by the persecution of enemies, but with the remnant not yet purged by the final sifting. Nevertheless, He will come concerning whom you recited in the Creed: ‘Then He will come to judge the living and the dead,’ and, as the Gosel says: ‘His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor, and will gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.’

Let the old faithful members hear what I say; let him who is the grain rejoice in the tossing; let him remain; let him not depart from the threshing floor. Let him not, following his own judgment, try to free himself from the chaff, since he will not be able to remain on the threshing floor if he wishes to separate himself now from the chaff. Furthermore, when He comes who distinguishes without error, He will not raise to the granary what He has not found on the threshing floor. Whatever grains have now withdrawn from the threshing floor will then boast in vain about their stock. The barn will be filled and closed. Fire will consume whatever has remained outside. Therefore, my dear brethren, let him who is good put up with the evil; let him who is bad imitate the good. On this threshing floor, in truth, grain can degenerate into chaff; and, on the other hand, grain can be restored from chaff. These changes take place daily, my brethren. This life is full of punishments and consolations. Daily those who seemed good do wrong and perish; and again, those who seemed evil are converted and live. For, ‘God does not will the death of the sinner, but only that he be converted from his ways and live.’

Hear me, O grains of wheat; hear me, you who conform to my desires; hear me, O grain. Do not be saddened by the intermixture of chaff; the evil will not be with you forever. To how great an extent does the chaff press upon you? Thank God that it is not heavy. Only let us remain the wheat; then, how abundant soever the chaff may be, it will not oppress us.”

“Your job as a father and as a husband is to provide, not just materially for your family, but to provide spiritually by becoming holy and praying for them on a regular basis doing prayer, suffering, good works, fasting, etc. so that they receive the grace necessary to do the right thing.”

Someone gave the leading AI models the Political Compass test.

Grok 4.5 landed by far closest to the political center.

Every model from Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Deepseek, and others clustered far to the left.

This is why building a maximally truth-seeking AI matters.

Just remember, whenever a Protestant declares, “This is not Christianity!” you’re watching someone who has bestowed authority upon themselves, narcissistically elevating their own private judgment into an authority it simply does not possess.

Turning Point USA activists created some viral videos during the first couple of days of the Iowa State Fair.

In case anyone was wondering why they didn't continue to follow & heckle Democratic pols throughout the 11-day event:

Eric the groomer teacher supports trans porn in schools and boys invading girls sports and bathrooms, just like @RobSandIA does. If that’s centrist, then Enes Kanter truly is a woman. Pick one.

[Eric Cunningham @against_kim]

We need more centrists in politics.

Not everyone fits neatly into “left” or “right.” You can be fiscally responsible and support a strong safety net. Support secure borders and legal immigration. Support gun rights and reasonable safeguards.

Good policy doesn’t require ideological purity. It requires pragmatism, compromise, and a willingness to admit the other side might occasionally have a point.

We need fewer politicians playing to the extremes and more willing to govern from the middle.

If people are whatever gender they say they are, then @ClayTravis is right and the WNBA already allowed a man to play in the league.

Layshia Clarendon self-identifies as transgender, and has had her breasts removed.

In other words: a woman who does not know what a woman is says women do not need men but men can be women unless it’s a man she doesn’t like 😵‍💫
