[Children’s Health Defense @ChildrensHD]

"I saw six patients relapse with melanoma in six weeks."

Testifying before the Senate today, oncologist Prof. Angus Dalgleish described seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse in a short period of time.

"They'd been stable for 3 to 18 years, and the thing that was common is they'd all received a booster vaccine."

Dalgleish also said he was hearing reports from fellow surgeons of colorectal cancers "presenting late stage 4, not stage 1 or 2," and appearing "in patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s in a way that we have not seen before."

Discussing his review of the scientific literature, Dalgleish said it shows "at least a dozen mechanisms where messenger RNA can insert into the DNA and activate oncogenes."

"As an oncologist who I'm starting to see that it's not only my patients now, it's people I know really, well, who are going down with cancer and they're going down more aggressively, and the treatment is not working nearly as well."

"Many have seen a dozen doctors before. Not one of them has ever asked the vaccine history."

"So of course they see no evidence."

Good morning Rick,

(1) Let’s be clear about the posture of things. I was not out there “litmus testing” random people who imagine they are professing Christ on Xwitter. I was responding specifically to a man who, to use your characterization, “trolled” a prior tweet of mine insisting that Mary was not the Mother of God.

Having the opportunity to do it over again I would note the error conspicuously so that no one was misled.

(2) Regarding your characterization of the Trinity in the context of the Hypostatic Union I would like to clear something up.

You say:

“Because the external works of the Trinity are inseparable, the incarnation is the work of the one triune God. Yet it is personally appropriated to the Son, because the Son alone became incarnate. The Father did not become flesh. The Spirit did not become flesh. The eternal Son assumed our humanity and is one person in two natures, fully God and fully man.”

Some comments:

(A) The Persons of the Trinity are not “works” or somehow derivative of a singular Triune God who is a separate being. The Trinity is a Supernatural relation; not a distinct identity or person.

Each Person of the Trinity is Fully God. The Father is Consubstantial with the Son is Consubstantial with the Holy Ghost.

And while the God Whom Mary is the Mother of is a Distinct Person He is the same God as the Father in Essence or Substance.

Affording the Blessed Virgin Mary her due Canonical Title as the Mother of God does neither risks dividing the singular Substance nor confounding the distinct Persons of God.

(B) The Council of Ephesus, Council of Chalcedon, and Second Council of Ephesus (not to mention Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture) do not Title the Blessed Virgin Mary “the Mother of God with an asterisk” or the “Mother of God but subject to whatever clarifications separated brethren need to feel ok about it.”

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. Period.

The Second Council of Constantinople (A.D. 553) even goes as far to say:

““If anyone declares that it can be only inexactly and not truly said that the holy and glorious ever-virgin Mary is the mother of God, or says that she is so only in some relative sense . . . let him be anathema.”

https://t.co/1jGxIqm8i8

(3) Denial of Marian Dogma is Heresy. Obstinate and knowing denial is Formal Heresy while ignorant denial is Material Heresy.

Heresy separates one from the Body of Christ. This is a big problem; not theological triviality.

Perhaps those imagining they are professing Christian Doctrine should take the time to understand it before they argue.

Apparently the "bridge to far" is converting the entire Roman Empire to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Converting entire kingdoms though fallible, sinful men isn't something that He can do, if you listen to protestants. Protestanism only bring schism and divide into the One Kingdom.

We do not believe that He needs Mary or ANY saint to spread the Word. We accept that He has an active Kingdom and allows His creation(s) to participate.

[Hughes de Payens 🇻🇦✝️📿 @hdpayens]

The Protoevangelium of Genesis 3:15 does not promise a distant, symbolic victory over evil — it announces a specific Seed who will crush the serpent's head while suffering a wound to His own heel.

Read the text carefully.

Genesis 3:15 is personal. God speaks to the serpent and says: "He will crush your head." Not "they." Not "humanity collectively." A singular Seed, born of the woman, who will engage the serpent in single combat.

Then the rest of Scripture traces this Seed through Abraham, Judah, and David until a Virgin conceives.

That is not coincidence. That is the Bible's own internal messianic trajectory completing itself.

The Fathers read it this way from the beginning. Justin Martyr, writing in the second century, explicitly identified Christ as the Seed of the woman who conquered death and the devil through His Passion. Where Adam's disobedience brought death, Christ's obedience brought life. Justin was not inventing redemption theology. He was reading the text.

Interpreters who collapse the Protoevangelium into a generic promise that "good will eventually overcome evil" face a real problem. Humanity does not crush the serpent. Christ does.

The Cross is the bruising of the heel. The Resurrection is the crushing of the head. The victory is real, personal, and cosmic.

You cannot spiritualize Genesis 3:15 into a moral abstraction and then claim to be reading Scripture literally.

Which interpretation actually follows the text where it leads?

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Did you hear what The View's Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe."

Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT...” the Democrats need "to win that seat in Maine" to stop Trump.

This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power.

Here's something we all need to remember: Everything before you say “but” is what you actually believe. Everything after is what you’re willing to trade it for.

The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for 'the collective good.'

🔥 NEW SONG: The Immaculate Conception: Fitting Not Forced

Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Peter’s Barque

Two ways to save someone from a pit.
That’s it.
That’s the whole doctrine people tie themselves in knots avoiding.

You can save someone after they fall —
that’s us.
Every sinner Christ drags back to life with grace.

Or you can save someone by preventing the fall entirely —
that’s what He does for His mother.
Same Savior. Same grace. Different application. Perfect symmetry.

The New Eve doesn’t start broken.
The New Ark doesn’t carry the Word with spiritual rot.
Genesis 3:15 says “enmity,” which means total separation, not “Satan gets partial custody.”
Revelation 12 calls her the mother of all who keep God’s commandments.
Gabriel greets her not with a name, but with a title meaning “graced completely.”
And none of this dents monotheism —
the people who died defending the One God didn’t suddenly forget theology in the first century.

This track hits.
The visuals hit harder.
And the next ones are coming fast.

Peter’s Barque is picking up speed.

You’re still not listening and keep setting up strawmen.

1. Salvation:

Catholics do not believe we are saved by works. We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Christ’s finished work.

The real disagreement is whether saving faith can remain alone (barren, without obedience). Scripture says no:

“Faith working through love” (Galatians 5:6)

“Faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26)
“Not everyone who says ‘Lord, Lord’… but the one who does the will of my Father” (Matthew 7:21)

We’re not adding to the Gospel. We’re refusing to subtract from it.

2. Eschatology:

The three separate future judgments model is a relatively recent dispensationalist framework, not the historic Christian position.

The fact that you conflate the “Judgment of Nations” with Jesus’ Sheep and Goats warning is telling.

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus is not describing a judgment of random Gentile nations. He is directly addressing His disciples and giving them a sobering warning about final judgment for those who claim to follow Him. The “sheep” and “goats” represent individuals, specifically, how professing believers treat “the least of these my brothers” (v. 40). This is a warning to ALL believers, not a geopolitical sorting of nations.

This passage is about personal accountability and fruit-bearing, not a separate “Judgment of Nations” as taught in modern dispensationalism.

Amillennialists do not believe in a future literal 1,000-year earthly kingdom. We believe the millennium in Revelation 20 is symbolic and is being fulfilled now in the Church age.

So, calling me an “amillennialist … [who] believe[s] there is [a] millennial kingdom” is self-contradictory.

Stay on track.

Grace and peace.

@EllaFlash Where did I claim anything that you're insinuating?

Why can you not answer the question?

[My Name is Nobody @F3_Haskell]

True saving faith is never barren. It works through love (Galatians 5:6). That’s why Jesus says He will judge us based on works (Matthew 25:31-46) and warns that branches in Him can be cut off if they stop bearing fruit (John 15:1-6).

Why would Jesus warn His own disciples and those united to Him that they could be cut off and burned if works have zero effect on final salvation?

[My Name is Nobody @F3_Haskell]

@rickbrennanjr @slumbles Are you implying that grace and God's spirit doesn't change you?

[My Name is Nobody @F3_Haskell]

This is a fair and important question. Here’s the direct Catholic answer:

We are not saved by works, not even “grace-enabled” works. Initial justification is a free, unmerited gift received in Baptism. Christ’s finished work on the Cross is the sole cause of our salvation.

However, the justified person must cooperate with the sanctifying grace they’ve received. This cooperation (avoiding mortal sin, performing works of charity, persevering in faith) is itself enabled by grace. These works do not earn salvation; they are the necessary fruit of living faith and the means by which God completes the sanctification He began.

This is why Scripture says:

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you” (Philippians 2:12-13)

“Faith working through love” (Galatians 5:6)

Branches in Christ can be cut off if they stop bearing fruit (John 15:1-6)

It is not “works-based salvation.” It is grace-based salvation that requires an ongoing, grace-empowered response from the believer.

Final salvation is not “partly dependent on human works.” It is entirely dependent on God’s grace, but God’s grace transforms us so that we freely cooperate with Him.

This is the consistent teaching of Scripture and the early Church.

Grace and peace.

Why would Jesus warn His own disciples and those united to Him that they could be cut off and burned if works have zero effect on final salvation?

[My Name is Nobody @F3_Haskell]

You’re still misrepresenting the Catholic position.

No one is claiming we are “co-saviors.” Jesus alone is Savior. His finished work on the Cross is the only source of our salvation. Grace is entirely God’s free gift.

The real issue is this: Does genuine saving faith remain alone, or does it necessarily produce works?
James 2:24 directly answers that:

“You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.”

James is not talking about “rewards at the bema seat.” He is talking about being justified before God — using the exact same example of Abraham that Paul uses.

True saving faith is never barren. It works through love (Galatians 5:6). That’s why Jesus says He will judge us based on works (Matthew 25:31-46) and warns that branches in Him can be cut off if they stop bearing fruit (John 15:1-6).

Why would Jesus warn His own disciples and those united to Him that they could be cut off and burned if works have zero effect on final salvation?

We agree Jesus saves us completely by grace. We simply believe real faith obeys and perseveres, it is never “faith alone.”

Grace and peace.

The judge who ordered Trump's name stripped from the Kennedy Center married his wife in a ceremony officiated by Merrick Garland.

That wife, Amy Jeffress, represented Lisa Page during the FBI texting scandal, helped the Jan. 6 committee, and now serves as Joe Biden's personal attorney. Her former law firm represented E. Jean Carroll against Trump.

Trump says Judge Christopher Cooper has 'a total Conflict of Interest' and asserts he can't be treated fairly in Cooper's court.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

The horror film “Obsession” is a surprise hit at the box office this summer. Made for around one million dollars, it has already grossed over a hundred and fifty million. But it's not only a financial success; it's also a spiritually quite interesting film. What drives the plot is a young man's ardent desire to be loved by the woman whom he loves. Seeking a gift for Nikki in an occult store, Bear finds a device that advertises itself as “One Wish Willow.” If you break the stick and make a wish, it will come true. In his desperation, he follows the instructions, and it works like a charm. The previously diffident Nikki becomes totally devoted to the delighted Bear. All his dreams, it seems, have come true. Then things go, shall we say, south. I won't spoil any more of the plot. Suffice it to say that Nikki proceeds to devour the young man and push him toward despair.

Throughout this film, I kept thinking of Oscar Wilde's famous line: “the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.” The spiritual issue here is one that the masters have recognized for centuries and one that stands at the very heart of Biblical revelation: if you tie your deepest desire to anything or anyone other than God, you will find, not satisfaction, but destruction. This is the moral teaching behind the great Shema prayer: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone.” Jesus reiterates this when he says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your strength.” The psalmist affirms it when he sings, “Only in God will my soul be at rest.”

During the rite of Confirmation, I ask the young people a series of questions, the first of which is “do you renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises?” Up and down the ages, Satan has made the same empty promise: I will give you something less than God and it will make you happy. In point of fact, it will ruin you, and the more you seek to acquire it, the unhappier you will become. What becomes clear in the course of “Obsession” is that the owners of the occult shop where Bear bought the fateful wish-willow are in fact involved with very dark spiritual powers. In my conversations with exorcists, I hear over and over again that those who get ensnared by the devil commence by dabbling in the occult.

“Obsession” is a good horror movie. If you like the genre, and you're not too squeamish, go see it. For it won't just scare you; it will offer some important spiritual truths.
