The Botafumeiro is one of the most spectacular traditions of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral: eight tiraboleiros swing a 53 kg giant censer through the nave at speeds of up to 68 km/h.
The ritual has been performed since at least the 12th century.
When I was in Ukraine, I drove to Kharkiv, thirty kilometers from the Russian border, interviewed the founder of the Azov Battalion in a bomb shelter, and then I dispelled lie after lie spread by the Woke Reich and Russian propagandists. My reporting sent Russian state media into a frenzy and panic, and now they are calling for my assassination on their state TV.
Then, I landed an exclusive with President Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa ahead of the entire mainstream media. President Trump @realDonaldTrump reposted my interview on Truth Social and was even asked about it in the Oval Office.
So explain to me how Fox News @FoxNews host Howard Kurtz @HowardKurtz booked me on his podcast to discuss my Ukraine reporting, and then Fox News management killed the spot off 20 minutes before the interview was supposed to take place.
They had no time for the biggest interview of the week, but they had time for a segment 2 days later on whether AI can “fix your boyfriend”.
🤡
Fox News is truly TV for stupid people. They won’t talk about things that actually matter, but they always have time for bimbo guests and bimbo news stories that have no actual news value.
Stephen A. Smith GOES OFF on WNBA coach’s “Trans kids belong” t-shirt.
“That is an IRRESPONSIBLE thing to do!”
SMITH: “This is not about being anti-anything. This is about being PRO-GIRLS... You can’t be born a male, transition into female and think that you should have the right to compete with women!"
“Not in basketball, not in football, not in boxing, not in the UFC. Hell, not even in tennis!
“It’s an aberration (anomaly) when you find somebody like a Serena Williams serving 120 miles, 125 miles an hour. That’s ORDINARY for Djokovic... That was ordinary for Sampras, Agassi, and all of these guys."
“We gotta stop acting like somebody that’s speaking up on behalf of girls, like a Sophie Cunningham, like a Riley Gaines, are scourges of the earth."
"You are Cheryl Reeve, the head coach of the Minnesota Lynx. That is an irresponsible thing to do... Do you not think that the females are being SCREWED OVER if they have to compete against an individual born as a male? What are you talking about?!"
“Nobody said you can't transition from male to female. The issue here is competing against the women. That’s what Sophie Cunningham was talking about. That’s what Riley Gaines is talking about. How are you, Coach Cheryl Reeve, and you could condone that, and then you gonna come out with a T-shirt?"
“No regard for the WNBA, no regard for the sponsors that may be put off by that. No regard for the bottom line that might be affected because of a position that she has taken that YOU KNOW is going to be politicized because that’s what you did.”
“How is that okay? How?!”
SPAIN 🇪🇸
Fr. Javier Aizpún of Pamplona has caused a MELTDOWN in Spanish media after calling for a RECONQUISTA in Morocco and the conversion of the country to Christianity:
'Our Lady of Africa, patroness of Ceuta, may she drive the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. What Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone, let us know how to finish'
Sophie Cunningham is the bravest woman in America right now. I'm praying for her, and y'all should be too.
She's bringing down a billion-dollar industry built on the lie that biological sex is a choice and that innate physical differences between men and women can be erased by big pharma and wishful thinking.
If you don’t think he’s a woman, you’re transphobic. When he claimed to be a woman, he became a woman. He now belongs in women’s changing rooms, bathrooms, hospital wards, prison cells and rape support centres.
If you try and differentiate between him and a trans woman who looks more convincing as a woman, you are promoting patriarchal beauty norms. If you admit to seeing an aggressive and possibly unbalanced man in this video, you’re saying all trans people are mentally ill predators. If you refuse to let him into female-only spaces, you’re removing his right to exist. If you suggest he could comfortably use male facilities, you secretly want him assaulted. If you refuse to call him ‘she’, you are guilty of unpardonable cruelty. If you’re a woman who wouldn’t want to share a locker room with him, or a man who wouldn’t want your daughter, sister or mother to get undressed in close proximity to him, you belong to the far-right. If you point out that there is no objective difference between his claim to be a woman and that of any other biological male claiming a trans identity, you are too stupid to understand the circular arguments explaining why he’s not really trans whereas other men who say they’re women are really trans.
If you’re righteous, you must argue that this man’s self-declared identity overrides any consideration of the safety and rights of females. To be godly, you must agree he’s as ‘valid’ as every other trans woman, because people are who they say they are. No matter what your eyes, ears and common sense are telling you, if you don’t want to end up on the wrong side of history, you must pretend to believe that this angry, intimidating man is actually a vulnerable, oppressed woman.
Poland is today the only country in the world where Jesus Christ is the official King of the Nation.
On November 19, 2016, on the eve of the Solemnity of Christ the King, the Ceremony of the Acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as King and Lord of Poland was held.
TELL'EM WHAT YOU THINK: The Heinz company continues to produce ketchup, mayonnaise, and other sauces at its plant «Петропродукт-Отрадное» in Leningrad Oblast. It sells sauces in Russia under the Heinz and Picador brands.
In the frontline city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, I just met with the renowned General Andrii Biletskyi, founder of the Azov Battalion and commander of the Third Army Corps in Ukriane @ab3army. Combat operations against Russia are ongoing just 30 kilometers from Kharkiv, and Russia attacks the city with ballistic missiles and drones almost daily.
It was very dangerous for me to travel to this city in Eastern Ukraine amid nonstop air raids, but I went there anyway to speak to the founder of Azov and ask him what every taxpayer in America wants to know:
Is it true or false that Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Army are full of swastika waving Neo-Nazis? Are our tax dollars funding an army of Nazis to fight the Russians? I asked the General and Founder of Azov himself. No questions were off limits.
General Biletskyi gave me a tour of the city and showed me Rymarska Street, where Ukrainians fought their first armed battle against the Russians in 2014.
He answered all of my questions and walked me through the detailed history of Azov Battalion and the Third Army Corps. We also spoke about the future of modern warfare and how Ukraine’s fight is relevant to the USA and America’s long term national security.
Full interview coming soon! You don’t want to miss it!
A few hours before the Islamist terror attack on the Berlin Pride parade (CSD), demonstrators (International Queer Pride) called for an intifada. The terrorist Abdul B. then delivered murder and intifada. Exactly as ordered. #Berlin#Terror#b2507
Putin’s words here are a chilling confession of his fear of peace. Without the distraction of war, he knows society will finally wake up and ask exactly what he has done to their country.
Kapustin, commander of Ukraine's Russian Volunteer Corps: What breaks a captured Russian soldier isn't our gear. It's that after four days drinking from puddles, we hand him water from our own hands.
That's when something cracks. 1/
