So… @Apple … Can we assume you’ll be deplatforming @bluesky and removing it from the App Store any minute now just like you did @getparlerapp ? No? So you agree with posts like these?

URGENT. FYI.

After Charlie Kirk, on the sky app there are people asking for the next person to be targeted. These include JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, Trump, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo.

I took as many screenshots as I could.

@SenSanders That’s PRESIDENT Trump to you.

[Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter]

Being a leftist in America means you fervently support birthright citizenship, but not necessarily birth.

I’m very grateful that @BishopBarron is ringing the warning bell on the danger of Communism. This is what good shepherds are supposed to do—not just encourage the faithful but also warn us of danger. I’m hoping more of the 200+ other bishops in the United States will raise their voices in unison about the deadly consequences of communism and its threat to the Catholic Church.

Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor ruled against women having equal protection under the law.

Liberal women, yet again, prove to be the biggest hurdle women face.

“Rep. Ro Khanna has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who ‘hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation.’ But the progressive congressman lives a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth he did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns” via @AndrewKerrNC - https://t.co/GDpx8QGoyF

Both Steven Pinker and Michael Shermer reveal that they have no idea how to read the Bible.

First, they fail to make the elementary distinction that Biblical theologian William Placher insisted upon, namely, that not everything that is in the Bible is what the Bible teaches ...

It is a commonplace of Biblical interpretation that there are elements in Scripture that reflect cultural practices of the time but are not the stuff of revelation.

Secondly, they neglect the fundamental moral framework that emerges from attending, not to features of particular narratives taken out of context, but rather to the overarching patterns, themes, and trajectories of the Bible as a whole.

Who can seriously doubt that the exhortations to worship God, to respect parents and authorities, not to kill, steal, or commit adultery, to love one’s neighbor as oneself, to care for the weakest and most forgotten, to sympathize with the victim, to turn the other cheek, to respect the dignity and freedom of the individual, etc., have been bequeathed to us from the Bible?

It is simply the case that we cannot understand Western morality apart from the Scriptures.

Hey Bernie Sanders: George Soros and his son Alex have already spent $102.8 million this cycle. Are you excluding them because they bankroll your far-left causes?

[Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon]

Amazing reporting from the @FreeBeacon on @RoKhanna's obscene wealth. Mr. "Fight the Epstein Class" with his two marble laundry rooms and net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

100 million dead.

That’s the verdict on Marxism. History already ran this experiment.

Never again.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

But remember, Democrats are fighting ‘oligarchs’ and want to ‘get money out of politics’ to save ‘our democracy.’

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Leftists are gaining traction within the Democrat Party by embracing anti-Western, third world ideologies.

What makes this all the more absurd is it is happening while we are commemorating the 250th anniversary of the most successful revolution in human history — a revolution whose tenets are irreconcilable with such ideologies.

Israel made peace with Egypt in 1979, and hasn’t attacked it since.

Israel made peace with Jordan in 1994, and hasn’t attacked it since.

Saudi Arabia never attacked Israel, and Israel hasn’t attacked Saudi.

Maybe Israel just defends itself against enemy belligerents.

@realannapaulina Excellent post.

[Anna Paulina Luna @realannapaulina]

The GOP is NOT perfect but the alternative is very bad.

Transitioning kids, nominating actual terror sympathizers and DEI Nazis to serve in the Senate & House…

Don’t buy into the attempted op to depress Republican turnout in midterms. If you don’t like something, fix it.

Ro Khanna: Elon needs to be subpoenaed, investigated and held accountable.

Ro Khanna, after Elon threatens to sue: I don’t believe in lawfare.

[Walker⚡️ @WalkerAmerica]

President Bukele did the unthinkable: he locked up violent criminals.

No one could have predicted what happened next…

The murder rate inexplicably went DOWN.

Western academics remain puzzled.

[Steve Brunk @realSteveBrunk]

@RonDeSantis I love both of those.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
