I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

BREAKING: AMEN! The Catholic Church SLAMS Pete Hegseth’s big public execution announcement as a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.”

The gloves have really come off now…

“It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War’s decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan,” Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an official statement.

Yesterday, our alcoholic Fox News host turned “Secretary of War” proudly revealed that Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009, will be publicly executed. The announcment proved to be red meat for the so-called Christians in the MAGA movement, because apparently they’d rather live in Ancient Rome than in a civilized western democracy. They delight in carnage.

“Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan’s actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered,” Archbishop Coakley continued. “The word of God exhorts us: ‘do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.”

“I pray for the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel that we as a nation may always choose life even in the most trying times and circumstances,” he added.

We couldn’t agree more. Hasan, who is confined to a wheelchair due to gunshot injuries incurred during his attack, deserves to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. Executing him in a public has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with an administration that fetishizes violence, particularly “holy” violence against Muslims, above all else. Hegseth and Trump are pandering to their base and dragging our entire nation into the gutter in the process.

You can feel perfectly justified anger and even hatred for Hasan’s murderous actions and still not want to live in an Iron Age culture where people are killed in public by the government. Hegseth is taking a page right out of the ISIS playbook with this one and no doubt hopes that this display of brutality will prompt bloodthirsty young men to enlist in the military or ICE, which is exactly why the caliphate spread its execution videos online. These Christian Nationalists are exactly the same as the radical Islamists that they despise.

America is truly circling the drain now. Thankfully, the Catholic Church is using its full weight as a 2000-year-old institution to take a moral stand against this demonic regime. We must all lend our voices to their fight for a juster, kinder, more Christ-like society.

Please ❤️ and share to thank Archbishop Coakley for speaking out!

@CNN Some how this wanna be tough guy has not thought about the trauma this will cause to the soldiers killing (non combat) another human being as well as those who choose to view it. I guess the soldiers are suppose to return to duty as if it's a normal day. Why!

[jackie blue @prchsd]

@GlobalGeoWorld1 Although I appreciate the principles outlined in your article, it seems to assume that the principles are new. Most of what is written here has been at the core of the military for a long time. Leaders have always lead from the front.

[jackie blue @prchsd]

@WUTangKids He's trying soooo hard to be a combat commander. I wonder if he knows a female soldier is calling cadence? Maybe not as he is too busy sucking wind.

Montgomery's bus boycott ran for 381 days. It needed cars, gas, insurance and drivers — and money that could not be traced to anyone who could be fired for giving it.

A cook solved that problem with pound cake. Georgia Gilmore. She had testified in court about being thrown off a bus, and lost her job for it. Dr. King helped her set up a kitchen in her own house.

Then she organized women across Montgomery into a fundraising operation she deliberately named the Club From Nowhere — so that when the money arrived at mass meetings, nobody could be identified, targeted, or sacked.

They sold sweet potato pies, fried fish and pound cake at beauty shops and on street corners, week after week, for over a year.

Her kitchen fed the movement and funded the carpools. King ate at her table. Kennedy ate at her table.

The boycott is remembered as speeches and lawsuits. It ran on pie money from women nobody was writing down.

Georgia Gilmore’s story is one of the many stories in black history that is never spoken about. Black history is not only about the famous names. It’s also about the people whose courage, sacrifice, and stories were nearly forgotten.

911 - HE WAS THE JANITOR🔑

And on September 11, 2001 the key in his pocket suddenly became one of the most important keys in America.

His name was William Rodriguez.

He had worked at the World Trade Center for roughly 20 years.

That morning, Rodriguez was in the basement of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building.

Chaos erupted.

A badly burned man appeared.

Rodriguez helped him.

Then he could have gotten out.

He went back … Because Rodriguez had something almost nobody else in that building had:

A MASTER KEY 🔑

It opened the stairwell doors throughout the North Tower.

Firefighters and police were rushing into a building thousands of terrified people were trying to escape.

Rodriguez knew the building.

And he had the key.

So he went UP with the rescuers.

Floor after floor.

Door after door.

Unlock. Open. Keep moving.

People were coming down.

Rodriguez kept going up.

He reportedly made it as high as the 39th floor before firefighters ordered him to turn around.

Think about that.

The building had been struck by a passenger jet.

Smoke was spreading.

People were desperately trying to get OUT.

And the janitor was climbing farther INSIDE.

Rodriguez eventually made it back down and survived.

But approximately 200 people he knew at the World Trade Center did not.

25 years later he still carries the memories of that morning.

And he still has the master key.

We remember the firefighters.

We remember the police officers.

We remember the passengers who fought back.

🔥We should also remember the janitor with the key.

William Rodriguez wasn’t carrying a badge.

He wasn’t carrying a weapon.

He was carrying something much simpler.

A key.

And when America was attacked, he used what he had to help save whoever he could.

Never forget William Rodriguez.

Dolly Parton's nephew Bryan Seaver, who was his aunt's head of security, announced her death in a prerecorded video posted to social media on Tuesday.

"It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness, but sadness lies with us, not with Dolly," he said. "Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus."

Parton, one of the most groundbreaking and successful musicians in the history of country music, with a hitmaking career that spanned six decades and launched her into TV and movie stardom, died at the age of 80.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Dolly Parton is dead, and the church never knew what to do with her.

Half my feed is posting rhinestones today. The other half never trusted her, because she would not wear the uniform.

She never preached a sermon.

She just did the works.

One man. Fifty-eight years. In an industry that eats marriages. No scandal reel, no reality show, no trading up. Just Carl, and a promise kept until death did them part.

She could have built towers in Nashville. Instead she built in the mountains she came from, so the people she came from could work.

Two hundred million books. Given away to children, free, no strings, while the rest of us argued about what to read.

A million dollars for a vaccine in the middle of a plague, and she called it what it was: helping.

She was a feminist who never used the word, a superstar who never left home, and a believer who never made you watch her pray.

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." James 2:18.

We spent years asking whether she was one of ours.

She never asked whether we were one of hers. She was too busy feeding children.

I do not know her heart. That was never my job. I know her works, because the whole county she came from lives on them.

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.

You want to honor her today? Put down the tribute post. Put a book in a kid's hands. Stay married. Do the works.

That was the whole sermon. She just never said it out loud.

[just josh Pray 😥 @_joshpray]

Dolly Parton somehow stayed 25 for 55 years, built an empire in rhinestones, loved God without weaponizing it, welcomed everybody, gave back endlessly and made being kind look powerful. ❤️

Ultra feminine. Business savvy. Inclusive. Faithful. Funny. Generous. Completely Dolly.

There will NEVER be another one. Rest beautifully, Dolly. 🕊️💎

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

I’m asking for prayers for our 32-yr-old pregnant daughter who suffered a stroke from clots in the brain a week ago. It has been a very difficult week of ups and downs, but mostly downs.

Last night her brain was swelling again, clots were reforming and getting bigger and bleeding was increasing, so they took her in for a second surgery to remove the clots, which was a successful surgery. But then her brain started swelling too much overnight so they made the decision to remove the left half of her skull to give her brain room to expand. Now it’s a waiting game.

Our Kaylie has a 2 1/2 yr old daughter at home who loves her mommy very much. Plus, I can’t imagine life without my eldest daughter, whom I love more than words can express. We believe in the power of prayer, so please join us in asking our Heavenly Father for the brain swelling to go down, for the clots and bleeding to stop and for Kaylie to wake up and recover fully.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
