i love the hotline idea but this notion of only deporting “illegal immigrants who’ve committed crimes” is absurd
they are here ILLEGALLY. they are all criminals!
More than half of American children spend at least part of the week in daycare and almost half do not live with both married biological parents and STILL people’s primary concern is what makes women “happy.”
Correct.
Sometimes tragedy denies it.
Sometimes adult selfishness or criminality prevents it.
But this is and always will be the ideal for family and natural right of children.
Societies that reject this truth inevitably crumble.
Israel is amassing enemies at a rate that boggles the mind.
VIrtually everyone is the Arab world, everyone in the Islamic world and increasingly people in Europe and Asia are all turning against Israel and unfortunately us, because of our unconditional support.
A friend of mine who recently decided to become Catholic after being protestant his whole life made this interesting comment to me not long ago:
You know, as a Protestant I never really got the whole, “Run the race with endurance” bit of Christianity. Believing that I’m saved by faith alone gutted me of any urgency. Sure, I wanted to be holy and to follow Jesus, but there was never this sense of, “Fight the good fight of faith,” about it. I got so caught up in trying to reform the church, never realizing how graceless I was (in multiple ways, not merely graceless in how I treated others). I wanted to change the church, but could not even defeat the sin in my own heart, which clung to me like a ton of bricks.
And now? I am not close to as holy as I want to be, but it finally feels like I actually can be such. And I *want* to be holy. I *need* to be holy. As I first prayed the Rosary, it was as if I could finally see the oceans of grace available to Catholics that Protestants have only dreamed about. Purity and holiness were actually attainable. Virginity and celibacy no longer seemed crazy or strange. My entire view of the world was in a word, heavenized.
Truth be told, it sort of scared me (I had not decided to become Catholic at the time). It made me realize what I was missing, as if I had peaked through a crack in a door that I had not yet entered, but which was filled with light and laughter.
And now as I wait to enter the Church, I have tried to communicate to my friends and family how much I really need this, how vital it is to my walk with Christ. They look at me like I am a little crazy and basically ask why I don’t think Jesus is enough. And yet I know that He is, but only that His fullness is found in His church (per Ephesians 1). I need the sacraments to live a holy life. I want to be a holy person. And I know, indeed it is only by the grace of God that my desires are such. It is only His doing that has brought me here.
“But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house” (Psalm 5:7).
What % of Black Americans live in poverty?
Most Americans say it is between 40-60%.
The reality: 17% of Black Americans live in poverty.
Black Americans overestimate this number more than other racial groups.

Much is made about the apparent worsening mental health of young people.
What few understand is the social status that often comes with claiming a mental illness.
About half of GenZ men and women told us that those with a mental illness have "more important points of view" than others.
