@elonmusk@x@support Please help my wife get her account reinstated. @Diahann33 has been suspended for years and she never broke any X Rules! Her appeals have just been a continuous loop with no progress or explanation. She just wants to watch clips of her kids playing baseball!
I had been invited to speak later this month at St. John’s Seminary in Los Angeles. I have now been informed that the event is being cancelled, due to complaints from unnamed critics who find me too controversial. Meanwhile, the always controversial Fr. James Martin will be speaking this month at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, on the theme “Hope on the Horizon: LGBTQ Catholic Update 2026.” It appears that, for some in @ArchbishopGomez ‘s archdiocese, Fr. Martin is welcome to speak about that topic to educators of Catholic youth, but I am not welcome to speak to seminarians about how to defend the Church’s teaching on the soul’s immortality.
You can’t get a $1 million mortgage if you make $100K/year.
You can’t get a $75K car loan if you make $35K/year.
The fact that you can get $250K in student loans for a college degree where you’re expected to earn $40K/year is unacceptable and a complete failure of US society.
We have 18 year old kids making financial decisions that all but guarantee a lifetime of economic insecurity.
These kids do not have the capacity to understand the implications of the debt they are taking on.
The corrupt university system has successfully convinced them going to college is the “smart thing to do” and that it will all work out.
These colleges should have to take the financial hit when they load up 18 years olds with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that basic math would tell you will never be repaid.
The federal government backstopping all these student loans does nothing but enable colleges to jack up their prices every year with zero accountability.
Shameful.
@austeni "Hits out at" is a stretch, but thoroughly expected from you. There is no contradiction with being "conservative" or "traditionalist" and recognizing the mandate to evangelize all.
@SteveSkojec Nice to know you're here in Michigan, but the comically dense clouds were a disappointment on a night like this! My daughter sent me some nice photos from southern OH. Go figure! I hope you enjoy the rest of your visit, Steve.
@austeni The difference between these two scenarios is quite clear, but I realize you just can't help yourself but try to get a word in and a dig, no matter how flawed your reasoning.
Imagine this: a prominent member of the U.S. Senate has a very strong record on defending the human dignity of life in the womb but also advocates for funding for Border Patrol agents to shoot people trying to enter the country illegally. Would anyone think it reasonable to honor such a senator for the senator’s pro-life record on abortion? No one who advocates for the direct, intentional killing of innocent human life should be honored. Period.
One week after the execution of father of two Charlie Kirk, who was married to fellow Catholic Erika Kirk
the @usccb have not issued a statement condemning his assassination, supporting his family, friends and concerned fellow citizens
The @USCCB issued two statements shortly after George Floyd's self-inflicted death in 2020
