An Open Concern About Appearances: The Catholic Church and the Midterms
I am Catholic. I say the rosary. I go to Mass. Nothing in what follows is an accusation against the Church, the Pope, or any bishop. It is a concern about how things look from the outside, and how that appearance is landing with millions of Americans right now.
This administration created a Justice Department task force on anti-Christian bias, pardoned twenty-three pro-life prisoners, stood up a White House Faith Office and a Religious Liberty Commission, designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern over the killing of Christians, and cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood. For a Catholic writer, that record is not nothing. It is, on its face, one of the most tangible pro-life and pro-faith agendas in modern presidential history.
In January 2025, the same administration suspended the refugee and migrant service contracts that had funded the USCCB and Catholic Charities for decades. Over one hundred million dollars a year. More than ninety-five percent of some program budgets. By spring, staff were laid off. By summer, agencies were closing programs. The money did not come back.
Institutions that lose their largest funding stream tend to find their moral vocabulary sharpening in the same direction as their budgets. I am not saying that is what happened. I am saying that is what it looks like, and that appearance is not going unnoticed.
Fourteen months later, in April 2026, the public statements from the Vatican and from American bishops toward this administration grew noticeably louder and more pointed than anything seen during the first term. Catholics see it. Non-Catholics see it.
And when a bishop speaks out days before a national election against one party’s immigration positions—which are prudential disagreements open to debate—while remaining silent on the other’s platform positions that contradict settled Church teaching on life, on the body, on marriage, the imbalance is impossible to miss.
I am not suggesting the Church holds a grudge, or that its silence on one side was bought. I am saying that is the appearance, and appearances are what most Americans, Catholic and not, actually see. When the institution that spent a year without its largest funding stream then directs its public voice at one party near an election—the very party that delivered more concrete protections for Christian life and religious liberty than perhaps any administration in living memory—the appearance is not of a shepherd. It is of a stakeholder.
That is the embarrassment I cannot unsee.

She doxxed an ICE officer on Facebook and told people to "blast HER." Then investigators looked at her phone.
Arely Guzman was a real estate agent in Albertville, Alabama, and one of the loudest anti-ICE voices in town.
Her phone showed she was helping move illegal aliens, including Chinese nationals, and handling cash for a smuggling ring run by an inmate in an Oklahoma prison.
She pleaded guilty in federal court this summer.
This week a Texas jury convicted three more members of that same ring. Prosecutors say it made over $5 million.
Their enforcer shot a man, tried to dissolve his body in acid, set it on fire, filmed it, and sent the video to the boss.
That's the operation this "activist" was part of while she was out there trying to sic a mob on an ICE employee.
Next time a Democrat tells you that unmasking ICE agents is about "accountability," remember her name.
Sometimes the person screaming loudest about ICE has the most to hide.

Amazing young man ❤️
🚨TRAGIC: Alec Penstone, a Royal Navy and D-Day veteran who passed away at the age of 101 on May 28, 2026, sparked immense national debate when he stated that the wartime sacrifices made by his generation "wasn't worth the result".
"My message is, I can see in my mind's eye, there was rows and rows of white stones of all the hundreds of my friends and everybody else that gave their lives for what? The country of today. No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now. What we fought for was our freedom... It's a downside worse than what it was when I fought for it."
Penstone expressed deep anguish over what he viewed as the gradual erosion of British freedoms, a decline in public safety, and a general fracturing of the nation's core values.
Today is National Day of the Deployed.
Somewhere right now a soldier is eating out of a pouch, missing a birthday, missing a ballgame, missing their kids.
They carry that so we can sleep easy.
Say a prayer tonight for every one of them and the families holding down home.
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.

Tim Allen wrote... Here are some interesting points to think about prior to the midterms, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party:
- Women are upset at Trump's naughty words --they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.
- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders.
It seems women's rights only matter if those women are liberal.
- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more...
- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
- President Trump's wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign.
Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn't have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don't remember the FBI raiding his lawyer's office.
- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump's approval ratings are low.
- "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money." —
Margaret Thatcher
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
- President Trump said — "They're not after me.
They're after you. I'm just in their way." Now, go Back & Read this Again like your Future Depends upon it, Because it Does!
God bless our troops and God bless America 🙏✝️❤️🇺🇲
People who have never lived through a catastrophe love to ask why America spends billions of dollars building giant nuclear aircraft carriers.
Tell them to ask the mothers of Banda Aceh, Indonesia what they saw on the ocean horizon in January 2005.
When the Indian Ocean tsunami killed more than two hundred thousand people, the entire coast of Sumatra was erased. Every bridge, road, and water pipe was gone. Tens of thousands of children were dying of thirst in the mud, and no truck on earth could reach them.
Two thousand miles away in Hong Kong, the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was on holiday port call.
Within hours of the news, young American sailors walked out of restaurants and hotels, left their vacation behind, ran back up the gangway, and pushed the ship's two nuclear reactors to flank speed.
When the Abraham Lincoln dropped anchor off the shattered coast of Aceh, it did not launch a single fighter jet.
Instead, the American sailors turned their nuclear warship into the largest floating water factory on earth.
Using the ship's four massive steam distillation plants, the crew purified nearly 100,000 gallons of fresh drinking water from the sea every single day. For weeks without sleep, young sailors stood on the hangar deck filling five-gallon plastic jugs by hand, while seventeen Seahawk helicopters flew nonstop from sunrise to sunset.
They flew more than 1,500 missions into jungle clearings, delivering over 400,000 gallons of pure water and nearly six million pounds of food and medicine to people of a different faith who had been taught for years to fear the United States.
America did not ask for one barrel of oil or one dollar in return. When the local hospitals were running again, the giant gray ship quietly raised its anchor and sailed away.
A small mind looks at an American aircraft carrier and sees only a weapon. A survivor looks at that flat gray deck and sees five thousand young Americans bringing water from the sea.
Every American needs to be aware of this before they vote during Midterms
A Muslim Islamic Military wrote a letter to Americans urging them to Vote Democrat
“The fact that the IRGC is writing a 25 page letter to Americans urging them to vote Democrat in the midterms is literally the only reason you need to not vote Democrat. Because I'm sorry, but if a military from another country, especially a military that funds numerous terrorist organizations, is telling me who to vote for in my elections, that is automatically telling me who I'm not voting for.
And the fact that they addressed this letter to the scholars, the students, and the media of America proves exactly what I've been saying about the left this entire time. They know exactly who was brainwashed over on that side. Like, I hope you guys hear these alarm bells going off
Because this is the same organization that committed a hostile takeover of the country of Iran and has been criticized by numerous countries and organizations for committing human rights violations. And they are telling you to vote Democrat. And by the way, after the takeover of this country by a literal terrorist organization”
“The fact that these are the types of people across the world that are backing the Democrat Party should be alarming to you”
This election is not about Red vs Blue. It’s about losing our country, reopening our border and eventually living under Sharia Law, or saving America
The Democrat Party is the party Muslims are using for the Islamic takeover of America. They WILL bring down America
You have to Vote Red
Amen ✝️❤️
People who believe that a solution to life's problems is giving more tax money to the government are people who actually haven't dealt with real problems.
Small example: we had to get Starlink for our property and our vehicles because after government burned down all of the Palisades and Malibu, the utility infrastructure is still so bad, you end up with complete dead zones everywhere; I couldn't manage running a campaign like that. Because one industrialist built a rocket company years ago, we now have an option to directly bypass everyone else's failings while government spends the next 3 decades rebuilding.
All of my savvy neighbors who are rebuilding are investing in fire-defense sprinkler systems on their properties, aggressively managing the vegetation around their homes...they've learned that no matter how much you pay the government, they will not be there when you need them most, their incompetence will likely be the source of the emergency in the first place, and the best thing you can do is insulate yourself from their failures. They won't be there when the fire hits you backyard, they won't be there when the homeless drug zombie stabs you in the neck, but they certainly will be there if the IRS doesn't get their check.
Every smart person who has endured hardship in this country is hellbent on becoming more self-reliant, independent, and off the grid. We call that a clue.
We don't hate the media enough 🤬🤬🤬
Please share this video to spread the actual truth we have been trying to do but been banned too many times. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Today I finally understood something about Donald Trump that I had been missing this entire time. And when it hit me — it hit me completely. Because, look at who this man chose to surround himself with.
Not billionaires.
Not people born into power.
Not people who had everything handed to them.
Karoline Leavitt — 27 years old. Ice cream shop girl from New Hampshire.
Trump looked at her and saw something the entire world missed.
Made her the youngest Press Secretary in American history.
Susie Wiles — a woman who has spent her whole life quietly strategizing from the background.
No fame. No spotlight. Just pure brilliance.
Trump looked at her and said — you will be my Chief of Staff. First female Chief of Staff in American history.
JD Vance — a soldier. A boy from Appalachia who served his country in uniform before he ever served it in office.
Trump looked at him and said — you will stand beside me.
Pete Hegseth — a soldier who gave everything on the battlefield. Two Bronze Stars.
Trump looked at him and said — you will lead our military.
Marco Rubio — the son of a bartender and a hotel maid. Two immigrants who came to America with nothing.
Trump looked at their son and made him the first Latino Secretary of State in American history.
Do you understand what Trump actually did?
He did not build a powerful administration.
He built an unbreakable one."
Because every single person in it knows what it feels like to have nothing. And people who came from nothing never take anything for granted.
Tonight, say one prayer for this entire administration. And say a bigger one for the man who chose them.
Then pass this to every American who needs to understand why this administration hits different from every single one that came before it."🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Republicans want to
1) keep our borders closed
2) keep our people safe from drugs and bad illegal aliens
3) support the family
4) protect our Christian rights
5) support women in their sports
6) save our nation!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Please get out and vote
Republican!!! We are NOT perfect by any means, but we want the best for everyone in our State and Nation!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good on @lynsi_snyder for not caving to the left and keeping the bible verses on ur products, now I just need to convince u to bring @innoutburger to the east coast because it is my favorite burger place, specifically upstate NY
🚨BREAKING: In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder refuses to cave to the left and will continue including Bible verses on their packaging despite growing backlash.
John 3:16 — on drink cups
Proverbs 3:5 — on milkshake cups
Revelation 3:20 — on select beverage cups
Nahum 1:7 — on burger wrappers
Psalm 37:4 — on fry boats
In-N-Out has quietly included Bible references on its packaging for years, a tradition Snyder says reflects the company’s Christian values.
As criticism continues, she has made one thing clear: the verses are not going anywhere.
TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF NEW YORK, MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE FOR:
– Bruce Blakeman for Governor
– Saritha Komatireddy for Attorney General
– Nick LaLota for U.S. Congress (NY-01)

If u want to help get term limits and the like enacted,sign on to help get the Convention of states to the required goal of 34 states signed on. They currently have 20 of the 34 states they need. This is a movement we need to get behind bec congress won't enact these themselves
@Harley17Q Congress may not vote for this but there is something we can do to get these enacted and that is the "Convention of states", they already have 20 of the required 34 states signed on. Get involved and help get them to their goal and get these enacted.
