These women are pathetic. Why do they get to dictate what it means to serve one's country. Lecturing these service members to go take care of the homeless instead - they were certainly welcome to make that decision for themselves but chose to harass these fine young men instead. Bug off.
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.
I was genuinely trying to reassure you that most Catholics wouldn't think of engaging with you in such a mean, nasty and uncharitable manner as the user did so on your post. You chose to respond with a rebuke of my faith - that's fine, I'm ok with us having a theological difference of opinion, it won't change how I would treat you or speak to you, on here or in person. God bless.
@realmikolson I'm sorry to hear that but I would like to offer some reassurance that perhaps the most fringe are the ones most online. The devil is working overtime on all our "teams" to sow this division. It's insidious and I'm praying we can overcome it.
Nearly half a dozen more bishops have joined the growing backlash against the University of Notre Dame over its controversial appointment of an outspoken abortion advocate to lead a university department. https://t.co/vM8Of9rlgG
@alexathallow@alexathallow please add your voice to the many others with a ND connection to protest the recent appoitment of a radical pro-abortion activists as the head of a prestigious institute at the University. You can have influence!
@NRO@jameslynch32 I encourage everyone associated with ND to send an email letting them know of their disappointment. This is what I did and I'm told many many others are as well and the University is aware. Many voices together can make a difference!
@roddreher It would be wonderful if the local Archdiocese were to make a public statement emphasizing this organization has no affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately many who love to hate on the Church will just use this as a reason to cast judgment and negativity.
Great question by him. I’d love to hear this asked as well: most of what we hear about is 1 or 2 players on any given team identifying as trans and people argue - what’s the big deal because cis-gender girls still to get to play. Hypothetically, what if the entire team is replaced (or even majority) by biological males? Is that fair for either the cis-gender girls that didn’t get a spot on that team OR for the team they will play against? Is there a number they are willing to admit would be too many? And if they truly argue that trans women are women, the logical conclusion would be that there shouldn’t be limits.
when my husband and I were still in our 20's starting a young family, it was our tradition to watch CBS Sunday Morning with dapper Charles Osgood in his bowtie. The goal of the show wasn't to create rage bait like you find on social media and modern "legacy" media, but a feel-good view into the lives of every day Americans. Random stories about random people... it was a beautifully produced program that left you feeling good about being an American. Let's revive Mr. Osgood's version of the show - we need it!
The Invoice of Power
For all the crying haters of U.S. power projection. You mistake American peace for a donation.
Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and by a debt of blood you never agreed to pay.
You mortgaged your future and outsourced your security. Now you project morality instead of power and call it “sovereignty.”
You cry foul when America decides the bill is due. When we choose to remove a parasite like Nicolás Maduro from the bloodstream of a hemisphere we’ve kept stable for generations. You say it’s illegitimate, unfair, and that it violates norms.
Norms are written by those who can enforce them.
You ask if we think peace is benevolent. No. Peace is transactional. The price is alignment, stability, and order. If you don’t pay it, someone else will, eventually with interest.
This is the sickness of the postwar world: a civilization feminized by safety it did not earn, mistaking feelings for force and outrage for deterrence. You boo and hiss about sovereignty while cheering mass migration, institutional decay, and the slow motion rape of the West. Your moral vocabulary is loud; your martial vocabulary is empty.
So understand this clearly: If you disagree, do something about it. Because your boos mean nothing to a nation that has seen what you applaud.
This is a mask off moment. You don’t have to respect America. Fear will suffice.
We are not cruel, merely structural. Gravity does not apologize to the weak for pulling them down. Fire does not explain itself to straw.
America is strong. You are not. That’s not personal. That is simply the way of things.
Power is the rent you pay to exist unmolested in a violent world. If you refuse to pay it, don’t be shocked when the landlord shows up.
I sometimes blackpill too hard. But lately, I’m starting to see America might not be in total decline, just hitting puberty. So yea, it’s about to get weird. But we aren’t going anywhere.
For the soft among you out there, I guess you’re just gonna have to deal.
