To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.
🚨 Akademiks says Megan Thee Stallion is in a “DEAD ZONE” in her career and admits he has NO IDEA how her label could turn things around.
“I couldn’t sit even with her label or any team of hers and try to figure out where she goes from here.”
Adam22 questions why Megan’s massive Instagram engagement isn’t translating into more attention for her music, with the panel claiming her recent single barely made any noise.
Adam then argues that Megan is making a BIG MISTAKE by focusing too heavily on female audiences instead of appealing to male rap fans.
“The dudes are where the real fan base is at.”
The panel also questions whether they’re underestimating Megan’s popularity among women or whether her music simply isn’t connecting anymore.

I’m having a hard time understanding how Catholics are celebrating former Hollywood actor Bug Hall’s decision to take a self-imposed “vow of poverty,” give away his savings, move his wife and five children to rural Arkansas, and now solicit donations from strangers to pay for basic necessities while his wife is expecting their sixth child.
Hall is a married layman and not a Franciscan friar. His primary vocation is to his wife and children, and that comes with binding obligations of justice that take precedence over his personal aspirations to voluntary poverty.
Canon 1193 explicitly states that a vow binds only the person making it. His wife and children took no vow of poverty. And even if his wife agreed to this arrangement, neither parent can simply waive the children’s right to adequate provision.
St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that even entering religious life cannot justify abandoning one’s duties toward dependent children (ST II-II, q.189, a.6). And St. Paul could hardly be clearer in 1 Timothy 5:8: “But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
Hall reportedly gave away his acting savings, deliberately sought a life with minimal need for paid employment, and spent two years building a farm on nothing more than a handshake agreement before losing it. Now his pregnant wife and five children are living in a camper while he solicits donations for propane, electricity, phone bills, and construction materials.
This is apparently his SECOND GoFundMe in less than two months.
I understand that he has suffered setbacks and says he has pursued employment. But unforeseen hardships are precisely why a father with five young children ought to exercise prudence, maintain some financial security when possible, and avoid voluntarily surrendering the resources needed to care for them.
There is absolutely nothing sinful about leaving Hollywood, working an ordinary job, raising chickens, homeschooling your children, or living modestly. But why should a man’s desire to pursue an unconventional, self-imposed religious ideal take precedence over the ordinary responsibilities of fatherhood?
And why should strangers be expected to finance the consequences of that decision?
Nobody should begrudge his children the help they need. But there’s a difference between assisting a family struck by unavoidable misfortune and treating a father’s voluntary financial renunciation as some extraordinary act of Catholic heroism.
Catholic moral theology also recognizes the virtue of prudence. You cannot simply give away your family’s savings, invoke evangelical poverty, and assume that Providence will supply what you have voluntarily relinquished. Trust in God does not dispense a father from using the ordinary means available to fulfill his duties.
If following a private vow places the basic needs of one’s dependents at risk, the answer is to reconsider the vow and not treat it as a higher obligation than the duties of marriage.
Get a job, provide for your family, and practice whatever voluntary austerity you can without compromising their welfare. That is the Catholic duty you freely assumed when you married and became a father.
this guy took a “vow of poverty” and refuses to work to support his family. he has 5 kids living in a trailer that barely has electricity or running water, and only because his parents gave it to him because they were horrified that he was trying to make his family sleep in tents. he keeps making his wife have kids because he doesn’t like his daughters and wants more sons.
he insists kids are cheap to take care of (because he doesn’t bring his kids to the doctors, doesn’t let them go to school, barely feeds them and doesn’t buy them anything), and mocks single mothers for having kids they “can’t afford” with “deadbeats.”
yet here he is, a deadbeat of the highest order begging for money to have more kids he can’t afford
the only reason why i watched veep was bc i saw that jld won 6 consecutive emmys for it and i was like "that can't be right"
it was right. all 6 of them was right
"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." https://t.co/SACQ9F5F7o
