I lived in Bolivia for two years. One of the cities I lived in was Cobija. One night, in Cobija, my friend and I were walking home when a Bolivian police officer got into an accident with a man that was on a motorcycle.

I ran over to try to help the man who was on the motorcycle, but I’ll never forget the officer yelling at the man about how the accident was his fault and then yelling at me for intervening.

In Bolivia, as in most third world countries, people don’t rush to help when this stuff happens. They become bystanders and observers, refusing to intervene or provide assistance. Some of the people around that night joined in on yelling at me as I called out for people to get an ambulance. One eventually made it because my friend had a phone and made the call, but it was too late.

That night, a stranger bled out and died in my arms—a foreigner—as his fellow countrymen yelled at him and watched him die.

People in the United States and across the West don’t understand the cultures and people that are being imported into our countries. The third world isn’t civilized, it’s not some wondrous place with people who have unlimited potential or hold similar worldviews to us. The third world is a dog-eat-dog world. People are literally scraping by and trying to survive. It wires people differently than the way we are wired.

As the West fails to deport the third world, it will become the third world. And mass deportations truly are the only peaceful answer if we want to stop the attempted beheadings, the rapes, the vandalism, the fraud, the homelessness, etc.

Some might find this sentiment cruel, but it’s not. What’s cruel is allowing the greatest civilization in the world, which your children and grandchildren should inherit, fall into an unrecognizable state of being.

Just one video of an African migrant cutting the head off of a native citizen would be enough reason to shut down all third world migration forever. But as it happens, that video is just one reason of a billion others.

I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.

In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.

He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.⁠
⁠​
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.

When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.

A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act. 

We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for.⁠​ We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.

Karen has a high school diploma.

A college degree.
An honorary doctorate.
A good paying job.

She also has Down syndrome.

People with disabilities can still lead happy, inclusive lives, and every human deserves to be loved, cherished, and given a chance to fulfill his or her unique potential.

What do these 6 kids all have in common?
They each completed our 50 Yard Challenge by mowing 50 FREE lawns in their communities for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans.

With every 10 lawns, they earned a new color shirt, and at 50 lawns they received their black shirt (like a black belt in karate) 🥋—along with a brand-new mower, weed eater, and blower!

👉 Will your child be the next to take on the challenge?

Kids can join from any city, any state. Raking leaves and snow shoveling count too.

(These kids are from previous years.)

People with Down syndrome are some of the most beautiful humans on planet earth

So sad that some people cannot see this

[John Rich🇺🇸 @johnrich]

I wonder who at The White House might be able to make this happen? This man has earned it, and what a GREAT thing he's doing for people in need around America! This is what "Love Thy Neighbor" is all about🇺🇸

Killing kids with Down’s syndrome was always part of the plan

[Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose]

In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:

“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."

"I am a man. See me as a human being—not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated."

Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.

You must realize that if you don't take your kids to restaurants and public places from infanthood and you don't give them consistent loving discipline they never learn how to act.

My boys went everywhere with my husband and I, if they acted up one of us would take them outside or to the car until they calmed down so we didn't disturb others.

During that time, we would either have a firm talk with them about proper behavior or fix the problem upsetting them.

We knew that sometimes this would mean that we would be inconvenienced, but that it had long term benefits.

Plus, it doesn't take very long for children to know what is expected of them if you are consistent.

From early childhood, my boys were then the most polite kids most adults said they encountered.

Part of being a parent is consistent loving discipline, kids crave it.

You and society also benefit from it.

I want to shout this from the rooftops.

I have found the only evangelization that leads to conversion is truth, not a watered down version of it.

[Trad West @trad_west_]

Did you know Antonio Vivaldi, the composer of "The Four Seasons," was a catholic priest?

Antonio Vivaldi was an ordained Catholic priest, known as "The Red Priest" because of his red hair.

He suffered from severe asthma ("tightness of the chest"), which prevented him from praying Mass, so he was given a dispensation to compose music to glorify God instead.

He wrote much of his music for an orphanage of girls run by nuns.

@stevemagness @DonnaArchibal12 We build a society that doesn't punish sex traffickers, pedophiles, rapists, abusers, and murderers enough for parents to feel safe allowing their kids more freedom.
