It's an uncomfortable thought, I know, but I want you to think for a minute about all the absolutely horrific ways this child could have very easily died, had he not been found sooner. His mother thought about that and then thought "welp, good luck, kiddo". There is absolutely no rationale for that decision that doesn't make me think "lock her up and throw away the key".
And to see people then turn around and go "this wouldn't have happened, had he just been aborted", that is just the most downright demonic shit I've heard all week. If you're one of the people making this excuse, I mean it when I say go buy yourself a nice and sturdy length of rope.
Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
gamers deserve nothing but the slop these companies keep shoveling into their mouths, marathon plays, feels and looks like nothing else on the market rn and these dumb fucking inbreds want it to fail because grummz and asmongold tweeted a steamcharts screenshot and called it gay
Hong Kongers held a medieval Renaissance fair, where attendees dressed in European and Japanese armor and held mock battles.
The women dressed as nuns and cursed the samurai for not being Christian during battle.
I've just watched a video from some unwashed left wing influencer claiming that Restore Britain wants to remove a million people over a period of five years.
I want to make our response really clear, because this is just blatant misinformation.
We'll deport far more than that.
NEW: 13-year-old Australian boy swims for four hours in cold and dangerous waters to save his mom and siblings who were swept into the ocean, says God is who got him to shore.
The family was on kayaks & paddleboards when they were swept about 2.5 miles out to sea.
After a conversation with his mother, Austin Appelbee decided he would swim back to shore to find help.
Appelbee says he prayed throughout the four-hour swim and told God he would get baptized if he made it out alive.
"I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'"
"The waves are massive, and I have no life jacket on… I just kept thinking 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming,'" he said.
"And then I finally made it to shore, and I hit the bottom of the beach, and I just collapsed."
Appelbee says when he got to shore, he had to sprint for about a mile to find help.
According to AP, the family drifted 9 miles from Quindalup and spent 10 hours in the water.
When he reached the shore, Appelbee alerted authorities, who then sent out a helicopter to find his mom, 12-year-old brother, and 8-year-old sister.
Austin's mother, Joanne Appelbee, said one of the hardest decisions of her life was sending her son to shore.
"One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin: 'Try and get to shore and get some help. This could get really serious really quickly,'" she said.
What a remarkable kid.

@oariaraio_opaj @Q2Quokka Most parishes in Melbourne are pretty good from experience. There's also a lot beautiful churches in the south-eastern suburbs, such as Sacred Heart in Oakleigh and Our Lady of Victories in Camberwell.
The job market in Melbourne is fucked though.
What this actually looks like:
ICE tries to get woman who thinks she's being cute for a video to move her vehicle.
Three agents surround the vehicle, one from the front, two from the driver's side. Likely looking to gain control of the situation. It is not cute to them, as they're being surrounded by a mob.
Woman panics, realizing this is in fact not cute, and attempts to flee thinking she can avoid arrest. Tire loses traction and the car doesn't immediately respond to gas input. Woman panics further and guns the gas causing an erratic vehicle take off.
Agent at the front of the vehicle almost gets hit. Agents respond by opening fire thinking the woman is using the vehicle as a deadly weapon, trying to hit the lead ICE agent at the front of the vehicle.
Woman who shouldn't have even been there, but was there because she got spun out of control on TikTok drama dies.
Agents have to live with it. Will likely have people demanding a mob-style execution by COB today.
What the Right Wants: Psychotic leftist domestic terrorist tries to kill ICE agents! We should use more force.
What the Left Wants: Fascist NAZI psychopaths are murdering women and children! We should use more force.
Who actually wins: Minnesota politicians and bureaucrats who can spin this into a riot and continue to avoid accountability for fraud. Federal politicians who can use the flames to continue to avoid accountability for a billionaire child sex trafficking ring.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Don't be stupid, stupid.
Two unpopular opinions on the Minneapolis shooting:
1. The woman who died was at fault. She was acting erratically, inserted herself into a dangerous situation, and behaved in a way that put both herself and others at serious risk.
2. The ICE agent acted on instinct and fired too quickly. He should not have escalated to lethal force in that moment. We need full body cam footage to understand exactly what he perceived, but based on the video available, it does not appear his life was in immediate danger as the vehicle was moving away.
The left is already calling this blatant murder.
The right is already claiming the woman was trying to kill the agent.
Neither narrative is accurate.
The woman who died acted dangerously and recklessly, and the ICE agent drew and fired his weapon too fast.
If both sides don’t pause the political posturing and focus on de-escalation, Minneapolis is headed toward another night of chaos just like George Floyd.
ICE should temporarily pull back from the community, and leaders on the left need to clearly and forcefully call for calm and nonviolence.
There’s almost no chance both of those things happen, which means this situation will likely get ugly and Minneapolis could burn again.
I know this take won’t make me popular with either side but it’s just my initial thoughts on situation.
In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”
Gabriel Augustine Hall was born at 1:00 PM and lived until 3:15.
I baptized him in the OR, and he was confirmed shortly after.
He met his six siblings, grandparents, and we even sang him 'Happy Birthday' with a cupcake and candle.
He is now a saint in Heaven.
Sweet Gabriel, please intercede for us so we may all reunite in a place where there are no more tears, and where we can praise God for all eternity.
