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.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Maronite Catholics in Lebanon are praying the Rosary in the streets, defying brutal Israeli strikes and religious persecution.
Let us unite with them in prayer for peace.
Catherine Austin-Fitts just sounded the alarm.
A pesticide liability shield will cause an “extinction-level event.”
Why?
It will absolutely destroy fertility.
And she says this is no accident.
It’s intentional.
“Depopulation” is exactly what the elites want.
“They’ve enjoyed so much success depopulating by giving vaccines corporate liability shields that you have Bayer, who bought Monsanto, coming around and trying to get both the feds and the states to give pesticide liability shields.”
“If you look at the extraordinary amount of money and support that’s coming [from] the mega rich to support this, it’s no accident.”
“There’s no way, given the science on this, that they don’t know.”
“There’s no way it’s anything other than intentional.”
“The battle for control of the food system is extraordinary.”
“If you look at the Trump policies, you are looking at thousands of different actions by government to severely consolidate farming in agriculture.”
Trump is pushing a pesticide liability shield on two fronts right now:
First, House Republicans included a liability shield for pesticide companies in the 2026 Farm Bill.
Trump personally urged Congress to pass it.
Second, Monsanto is asking the Supreme Court to give them a liability shield in a case that will be heard later this month, Monsanto v. Durnell.
And Trump’s DOJ sided with Monsanto.
In case you haven’t noticed, Trump has completely abandoned and betrayed MAHA.

A STATEMENT ON LEBANON: A CRY FOR THE INNOCENT
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
My heart is heavy as I look toward Lebanon – a land long marked by faith, suffering, and perseverance.
Lebanon is not merely another nation in conflict. It is home to one of the oldest and largest Christian populations in the Middle East, where the name of Jesus Christ has been professed continuously since the earliest centuries of the Church. In that sacred land stands the shrine of St. Charbel Makhlouf, a humble monk whose life of prayer, penance, and Eucharistic devotion has borne extraordinary fruit. Known as the “miracle monk of Lebanon,” countless souls have testified to God’s healing through his intercession – a sign that even in suffering, God has not abandoned His people.
And yet today, Lebanon bleeds.
Reports continue to emerge of relentless bombardment in densely populated civilian areas – families, children, the elderly – lives shattered without warning. What we are witnessing is not simply warfare, but a grave assault on human dignity. The deliberate targeting or reckless endangerment of innocent life is never justified. NEVER.
The Church has always been clear: War itself is a tragedy – but the intentional harming of civilians is a moral evil that cries out to Heaven.
We must not grow numb to images of destruction. We must not allow political narratives to dull our conscience. Every child killed, every home destroyed, every mother weeping over her son – this is not abstract. This is human suffering. This is Christ crucified again in His people.
Lebanon has already endured decades of instability, economic collapse, and the exodus of Christians from the region. To strike this nation again – especially in ways that devastate civilian life – is to deepen wounds that may take generations to heal.
I call upon all leaders involved to remember this: power does not grant moral permission. Military strength does not justify the loss of innocent life. There can be no lasting peace built upon the graves of the defenseless.
And to the faithful, I say this: do not remain silent in your hearts. Pray. Fast. Offer sacrifice.
Pray for the people of Lebanon. Pray for the conversion of those who wield power without mercy. Pray for true peace – not the fragile silence of ceasefires, but the peace that comes from justice rooted in truth.
Through the intercession of St. Charbel Makhlouf, may God bring healing to the wounded, comfort to the grieving, and repentance to those who act without regard for the sanctity of life.
And may we never forget: Every human life is sacred, from conception to natural death, in every nation, without exception.
In Christ Our Hope,
Bishop Joseph E. Strickland
Bishop Emeritus
🚨BREAKING: Candace Owens Is MORE Influential The You Think She's The Real Reason We DON'T Have Boots on the Ground in Iran (Yet)🪖🇺🇸
If you want to know why we aren't currently watching thousands of American body bags returning from the Middle East, you need to look at what is happening behind closed doors at the Pentagon—and you need to look at Candace Owens.
People severely underestimate Candace's influence. Her courage to speak out against the war machine quite literally is the reason we do not have boots on the ground right now.
According to active-duty sources inside the Air Force, President Trump and Pete Hegseth have just fired over 20 Generals and Admirals, along with hundreds of senior officials.
Why the massive purge? Because Trump and Hegseth demanded a land invasion of Iran last week, and the senior military brass looked them in the eye and said NO. The military leaders are refusing the order. So now, the administration is frantically "cutting the head off the snake," purging the Pentagon to try and find spineless "yes men" who will willingly send our sons and daughters to die in a foreign desert.
People severely underestimate Candace's reach, but let me make this crystal clear: Candace is DIRECTLY responsible for the military stand-down happening right now. She didn't just give an opinion on a podcast; she issued a moral directive to the American armed forces, and they listened.
By getting on her massive platform and explicitly telling our servicemen and women that they have the legal and moral right to conscientiously object, she gave the military the cultural backing they needed to refuse an unconstitutional order.
"No American Son or Daughter Should Die for Israel"
Our military swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, not to a foreign government. Candace had the absolute courage to say what the entire MAGA establishment was terrified to whisper:
"Goyim, stand down. Go home. Find the legal means to exit the military... I feel like right now we are all being forced into the servitude of a foreign nation."
She reminded our troops that Trump’s 180-degree pivot from America First to Israel First does not mean American blood has to be spilled to build foreign real estate.
🪖 Let the Neocons Fight It
Candace dropped the ultimate truth bomb, exposing the cowardice of the war hawks. If this war is so necessary, let the people pushing for it go fight it.
Allow @marklevinshow , @benshapiro , and the Christian Zionists who view this as some messianic prophecy to sign their own kids up for the draft. Let them put down their podcast mics, fly to the Middle East, and clear the rubble in Gaza themselves.
Leave the American working class out of it.
@RealCandaceO shifted the culture, gave our troops a voice, and single-handedly threw a wrench into the military-industrial complex's timeline. She is the reason your sons and brothers are still home today.
Thank God for Candace. Hold the line, refuse the orders, and put America First. 💪 🇺🇸
Novena to Saint Joseph with Sister Dede Byrne - Day 9
O good Saint Joseph, help us to be like you,
gentle to those whose weakness leans on us;
help us to give to those who seek our aid,
succor that they may journey unafraid.
Give us your faith,
that we may see the right shining above the victories of might.
Give us your hope that we may stand secure,
untouched by doubting, steadfast to endure.
Give us your love that as the years increase
an understanding heart may bring us peace.
Give us your purity that the hour of death
finds us untouched by evil’s breath.
Give us your love of labor
that we shirk no lot in life that calls us for honest work.
Give us your love of poverty so that we live contented,
let wealth come or go.
Give us your courage that we may be strong;
give us your meekness to confess our sins.
Give us your patience that we may possess the kingdom
of our souls without distress.
Help us, dear Saint,
to live that when life ends
we pass with you to Jesus and His friends.
O Glorious Saint Joseph,
hear our prayers and obtain our petitions. Amen.
Last week the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV invited Christians who bear responsibility for war to make a serious examination of conscience.
Joe Kent has courageously responded to this call.
Honor and respect to patriots like him. God bless you @joekent16jan19
As a convert from Evangelical Protestantism, one of the things I treasure most about the Catholic Church is the authority of her Magisterium.
The Second Vatican Council teaches in Lumen Gentium 25 “Bishops, teaching in communion with the Roman Pontiff… are to be respected as witnesses to divine and Catholic truth… and the faithful are to adhere to their teaching with religious submission of mind and will.”
I accept the documents of Vatican II with that religious submission of mind and will. But the same passage makes something very clear.
Individual bishops do not enjoy the prerogative of infallibility every time they issue a statement. Catholics are bound to the Magisterium of the Church, not to every memo or public accusation from a particular bishop.
This matters because Bishop Bambera @BishopBambera has now decided to get involved in something he obviously didn’t watch or listen to. He misrepresents what I actually said.
At the hearing I raised a straightforward question about free speech and modern definitions of antisemitism. According to the IHRA definition of antisemitism this is included: Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis
Could one of the IHRA definitions be used to label parts of the New Testament itself as antisemitic?
For example, St. Paul writes: “The Jews who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets…”
- 1 Thessalonians 2:14–15
That is Sacred Scripture. Quoting the Bible is not antisemitism.
Even Nostra Aetate states:“True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ.”
The same document also teaches that this guilt cannot be charged against all Jews then alive or against Jews today.
I accept that teaching fully, but it doesn’t take away from the historical fact of the Jews at the time who sentenced our Lord to death.
Now here is the part of Bishop Bambera’s letter that makes this even more remarkable.
He writes: “Catholics can appreciate the religious attachment that the Jewish people have to the land of Israel, but interpret the re-emergence in 1948 of a Jewish state in a historical rather than theological context.”
That is precisely the point I made at the hearing. The Catholic Church does not teach that the modern State of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy. This is exactly what I said at stage at the hearing.
The Holy See consistently interprets 1948 historically and politically, not theologically. In other words, the bishop’s own citation confirms the point he accused me of making improperly.
Catholic doctrine is clear: The promises made to Abraham reach their fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the New Covenant.
St. Paul writes: “The promises were made to Abraham… and to his offspring… and that offspring is Christ.” -Galatians 3:16
@BishopBambera You write this letter behind my back to the bishops and say “If God’s covenant with the Jewish people has not been revoked, what, then, of God’s promises to Abraham concerning, not only descendants, but land?” Are you following the post Vatican II like Pope Saint John Paul II?
In Redemptoris Mater: According to Gal 4:4 and its context, “it is the coming of the Son of God that reveals that time has, so to speak, reached its limit. That is to say, the period marked by the promise made to Abraham and by the Law mediated by Moses has now reached its climax, in the sense that Christ fulfills the divine promise and supersedes the old law."
So my question is, Your Excellency, are you following the Catholic magisterium? And would @Pontifex affirm the interpretation you are presenting to the bishops?

Why is this commission, supposed to protect religious freedom, silencing and discriminating against Catholics that express their beliefs?
This religious persecution has no place in America.
Hey Leila,

The Catholic View on Zionism and the 1948-State of Israel – By Catholics for Catholics

🚨BREAKING: Polish MP Drops Nuke – Claims Israeli Spy-Linked Firm Controls Poland's Entire Economy via Secret KSeF Backdoor!**
**Warsaw, February 15, 2026** – A Polish parliamentarian just lit the fuse on what could become the biggest national security scandal of the decade.
In a blistering, podium-pounding speech before the Sejm on February 13, Konfederacja Korona Polska MP Włodzimierz Skalik accused the government of secretly routing Poland’s brand-new mandatory electronic invoicing system (KSeF) through servers tied to **Imperva** – a cybersecurity giant **founded by a former Israeli intelligence officer** from the legendary Unit 8200.
Skalik didn’t mince words:
> “Network traffic to KSeF passes through the American company Imperva, **founded by an officer of Israeli intelligence**, now owned by the French arms-and-spy-tech behemoth Thales. Foreign services could be reading metadata on **every single złoty** of Poland’s economic turnover thanks to the U.S. CLOUD Act!”
He demanded the system be **shut down immediately**, called for an emergency parliamentary adjournment to launch an investigation, and openly questioned whether Poland has handed the keys to its entire private-sector economy to foreign intelligence – with **Israel’s elite cyber unit** sitting at the very start of the chain.
The 77-second clip, explosively shared by X power-user @gps65 (Grzegorz GPS Świderski), has already rocketed past **40,000 views** in under 48 hours and is being flooded with reactions ranging from “This is high treason!” to “Finally someone says it out loud!”
Why this is detonating online:
- Unit 8200 alumni dominate global cybersecurity — but critics call them a de-facto “Israeli Mossad tech pipeline.”
- Imperva → Thales ownership means French military-intelligence interests now sit on top of Israeli-founded code allegedly guarding (or watching?) Polish business secrets.
- The U.S. CLOUD Act allows Washington to demand the data — even if it’s supposedly “safe” in Europe.
- France bans such foreign middlemen in its own e-invoicing system — yet Poland supposedly welcomes them.
Government defenders are scrambling: the Ministry of Finance insists KSeF runs on Polish servers, meets GDPR, and contains no backdoors. But Skalik’s camp — and a growing chorus of furious small-business owners, tax skeptics, and nationalists — isn’t buying it. They’re branding the rollout a **“digital occupation”** and predicting this revelation could topple Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s coalition.
As one viral reply screamed:
“If a former Israeli spy unit founder is in the middle of Poland’s economic nervous system, we’re not sovereign anymore — we’re a data colony.”
With elections looming, inflation biting, and EU funds hanging in the balance, this single speech has morphed into a full-spectrum sovereignty panic button. Is it explosive truth… or the most dangerous conspiracy grenade of 2026?
Poland — and Europe — is watching.
