Palestinian Islamic preacher: “Virgins of Paradise will have no menstruation, saliva, mucus, urine or excrement;
Muslim men will have the sexual power of 100 men. We will have several wives and slaves in Paradise.”
Disgusting. Why is it all about sex in the afterlife for them?
My younger brother was flying home after a long trip, exhausted and just ready to crash in his own bed. He’s the kind of guy who never complains about feeling off, he’ll push through until he can’t anymore.
About an hour into the flight, a flight attendant walked up to him with a woman she’d been quietly talking to. The attendant leaned in and said, “Sir, I’m really sorry to bother you, but this passenger is a nurse and she noticed something. She asked if we could talk to you.”
The nurse stepped forward, looking genuinely concerned. She said, “I don’t want to alarm you, but I saw some red lines on your arm when you were reaching up. Those can be a sign of a serious infection. Can I take a quick look?”
My brother, confused, pulled up his sleeve. The nurse examined it for a few seconds and immediately said, “Yeah… we need to get you checked out as soon as we land. Those lines are moving.”
He tried to brush it off at first, like, “I’m probably just fine, I’ve been feeling a little run down but nothing crazy.” But the nurse shook her head and told him, “This isn’t something to mess around with. Trust me.”
The flight attendant came back a few minutes later and said, “We’ve already radioed ahead. There’s going to be an ambulance waiting for you when we land.”
When they touched down, sure enough, paramedics were there on the tarmac. They took him straight from the plane to the hospital. He ended up staying for three days on heavy IV antibiotics.
The doctors later told him it was a fast-moving infection and that he was probably only a few hours away from it becoming life-threatening. If that nurse hadn’t noticed those red lines on the plane… things could’ve gone very differently.
When he finally called me from the hospital, sounding weak but alive, he said, “Dude… some random nurse basically saved my life on a flight.”
I still think about that sometimes. You never know who’s sitting near you, paying attention, and willing to speak up. One observant stranger on a random flight ended up making all the difference for my little brother.
She skipped her child’s middle school graduation in order to be a lookout to spot ICE agents
We are reaching levels of ICE derangement syndrome never seen before
Honestly sad. That poor kid.
People who think the Catholic Church prioritizes preaching against sexual sins to the exclusion of other sins have never regularly attended Mass.
In 30+ years as a Catholic, I’ve heard a handful of homilies against sexual sins vs hundreds against pride, vanity, greed, etc.
Do you have holy water in your home?
Holy water is a sacramental — it draws down God's grace and can even forgive the venial sins we're sorry for. Most parishes keep a font in the back where you can fill a bottle to take home, free. And St. Teresa of Ávila said the devil hates the stuff — sprinkle a little around the house and it puts him to flight.
Where's your holy water from — your parish, a shrine, a pilgrimage? Let us know below!
One lesson. About one minute. Totally Free.

In Florida, a black man invaded a home and murdered an elderly white lady. He was tried by a jury of his peers. Three black jurors who refused to convict him of murder were quoted saying they “don’t want to send a young black male to jail for the rest of their life or have him get the death sentence.”
The black murderer was retried, convicted of first-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
There were no black jurors on the Karmelo Anthony jury. Why? Because potential black jurors said in voir dire that they “don’t want to send a young black male to jail for the rest of their life or have him get the death sentence.”
Now do you get it?
