Catholic Fun Fact: John Wayne was a lifelong Presbyterian who officially converted to the Catholic Church just two days before his death in 1979. Raised in a Protestant household, he affectionately referred to himself as a "cardiac Catholic"—meaning he always intended to officially join the faith before he passed away. His journey to the Church was shaped by decades of surrounding himself with Catholic family and friends: All three of his wives and all seven of his children were Catholic. His first wife, Josephine Saenz, prayed faithfully for his conversion. As he battled stomach cancer in 1979, he was formally baptized and received the last rites by Archbishop Marcos McGrath. He expressed regret for not joining the Church earlier, often blaming his "busy life". Today, one of his grandsons, Father Matthew Muñoz, serves as a Catholic priest.
I've never see Jews stringing up little girls because they wore lip gloss or jeans. I've never heard of Jewish rape gangs. I've never heard of Jews forcing their women to live every moment of their public life peering through a slit in a black sheet. Jews never blew up our buildings or beheaded Christians.
You have a problem with Israel. Fine, register your geopolitical opposition to our foreign policy with regards to Israel. But I've never been afraid of what a Jew would do to me or my daughters.
Democrats want the black vote, so they teach black people that whites are the enemy.
Democrats want the female vote, so they teach feminists that men are the enemy.
Democrats want the gay vote, so they teach gay people that heterosexuals and Christians are the enemy.
Democrats want the (illegal) immigrant vote, so they open the borders wide open to flood the country.
Democrats want the poor vote, so they teach poor people that the rich (other than themselves, of course) are the enemy.
And once the votes are cast, they don't do a damn thing to help any of these groups!
The only REAL enemy is the Democrat party!
The video of two nurses openly saying they’d KILL Jewish patients was not allowed into evidence because they didn’t know they were being recorded…
Wouldn’t that mean ALL CCTV footage is also inadmissible into evidence???
This makes no sense!!!
When I was Muslim, I knew the story in Surah 2.
King Saul leads his army out, God tests them at a river — don’t drink, or you’re not with me — and only a few pass. Then they fight, and David kills Goliath. Surah 2:249-251.
Clean story. Until you open the Bible and find that the river test isn’t Saul’s at all.
It’s Gideon’s. Judges 7.
God tells Gideon his army is too big. So he tests them at the water. The men who lap like a dog go one way, the men who kneel go another. God whittles 32,000 men down to 300, so Israel can’t brag that they won by their own strength.
That’s the test. And it belongs to GIDEON. A judge. About 150 years BEFORE Saul was ever king.
You know what shook me?
The Quran took Gideon’s water test, pinned it on Saul, and then stitched the David and Goliath battle onto the end of it.
Two separate stories, from two different centuries, fused into one.
It’s the exact same thing the Quran does with Moses and Jacob. Take a detail from one hero, glue it onto another, compress the timeline.
I used to say the Bible mixed things up.
But the Bible keeps Gideon and Saul as two distinct men, 150 years apart, with two distinct stories.
It’s the later book that merged them.
And here’s what I couldn’t ignore.
Gideon’s 300 won so that no one could boast. The whole point was: the victory is God’s, not yours.
That’s the Gospel in advance. You don’t win by your strength. You win by His.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6.
The Bible kept the story straight because the story was going somewhere.
It was going to a cross, where God won the victory alone, so no one could ever boast they saved themselves.
The claim that “rape did not exist among native nations prior to white contact” is ahistorical garbage pushed by third worldist ideologues who need the West to be uniquely evil.
The “noble savage” was never real. He was a blood soaked warrior, slaver, and rapist just like every other human who ever lived outside the slow, brutal discipline of civilization.
Pre-Columbian Americas had constant intertribal war, captive taking, slavery, and empires built on mass human sacrifice. Some groups punished adultery with gang rape. Raiding parties seized women as spoils. Mesoamerican civilizations ran on coercion and sexual dominance.
Rape is a human universal tied to power, lust, and tribal competition. The idea that only “white contact” introduced it is the most condescending racism imaginable, stripping indigenous peoples of agency and full humanity to score points in a decolonization fanfic.
History to leftists is some false morality play where non-Western societies were peaceful egalitarians and the West invented sin.
But the noble savage myth is dead. And we’re not playing this bullshit game anymore.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Mass amounts of Americans are calling for the courts to be PURGED as San Francisco leftist Judge Linda Colfax released a criminal who FATALLY assaulted an 84YO — because she was worried prison would have a "poor impact" on him
BETRAYAL.
The man who won the Democratic primary in New York tonight stood in a mosque two days ago and recited the Quran, and the Muslims there prayed that Allah would kill the infidels with his sword. Very dark times are coming.
Mamdani-endorsed Aber Kwas won the Democrat Primary tonight for a State Senate seat in New York.
Here she is saying that 9-11 was America's fault because of our "system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia."
Ottoman officials forcibly collected young boys from the empire’s Christian subjects as a form of taxation. They were then taken back to Istanbul, forcibly converted to Islam, and trained to be the sultan’s military slaves, the Janisseries.
Ottomans launched slaving raids into Slavic lands, taking 3-5.5 million Christians as slaves, and the Barbary Corsairs captured over 1 million Christians as slaves in Western and Southern Europe.
Weasel move to say that churches weren’t taxed when all Christians had to pay a heavy Jizya tax, and no new churches were allowed to be constructed, and Christians had no legal rights in courts against Muslims who wronged them.
This will blow your mind:
In the Eucharist, when we stand and listen to the Gospel lesson….
In the first decades of Christianity, before the 4 Gospels were written or circulated, at this point in the liturgy, one of the 12 living Apostles would stand up and tell a story they remembered about Jesus Christ (Gospel lesson) and then explain it (sermon). Then that Apostle would consecrate and distribute the Eucharist.
The 4 Gospels naturally took the place of the living Apostles over time. That’s why the Apostles commissioned the 4 Gospels. And it’s why we still stand - in honor of the Apostles sharing their memory of the very words of Christ.
Brazil: For the first time ever, a Brazilian husband and wife were sentenced to prison for the “crime” of homeschooling their daughters.
The judge held that the children needed more diversity, gender and sex education.
Keep in mind, the mother holds degrees in mathematics and pedagogy and the children perform well.
The sentence is suspended, pending appeal.
Pray for this precious family.
My mom just got a prescription for a new wheelchair.
AFTER insurance, she's being charged 600. Luckily she has a second insurance that is covering that portion.
Looked up the exact model number on Amazon, it's only 250 bucks there.
