Gen Z is the biggest generation of hustlers this country has seen in over a century because boomers essentially ruined any normal means of making a living. Stupid fucking broad
GA is in a bad spot.
Two democrat gov candidates
Osoff will get reelected
GA isn't redistricting because of state GOP
Atlanta growth is almost entirely minorities and DEMs
Atlanta sprawl is raising taxes in historically rural counties (Henry co)
State in decline
Georgia has officially become a majority-minority state.
For the first time in history, non-White and Hispanic residents make up 52% of Georgia's population.
Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.
"We must admit that the ears of modern men hear guitar and piano as instruments of popular music," writes acclaimed Catholic composer Mark Nowakowski.
"The more our popular culture devolves into profanity, the more inappropriate these instruments become for the liturgy, whereas the traditional sacred music and instruments of the Church simply sound even more sacred to us as a matter of cultural contrast."
Nowakowski, who holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts and is an Associate Professor of Music, argues that "it is the acoustic nature of the [piano], along with contemporary cultural considerations, that renders it unfit for use in the Mass."
"[W]hile the piano is a great cultural accomplishment, most people do not come to mass with Chopin preludes and Beethoven sonatas echoing in their collective memory. For most people in our culture, the piano, like the guitar, is a bright and rhythmic accompaniment instrument for popular song. It is the instrument of “salons” (to use a papal term) and is tied more to entertainment than contemplation.
"Piano is furthermore technically a percussion instrument, which lacks the sustain necessary to adequately support voices without playing in a consistently loud and repetitive manner. With its rapid onset attack (again, percussive) and rapid diminution, devoid of a true voice-like sustain, it is further not suitable for the accompaniment of the Church’s pre-eminent music, Gregorian chant, nor for much vocal accompaniment in general."

even if you don't believe in prison abolition, the question must be asked, what purpose do they serve? if it is to rehabilitate, they've proven remarkably bad at their jobs. if it is to punish, they still do a pretty lousy job at that.
This area is the future of heritage American Catholicism in the USA
The purple areas are where Catholicism is either seeing the strongest surge (Texas, KS/NE, Atlanta) or where heritage Catholicism is still going strong (Louisiana)
Louisiana is by far the strongest Catholic state in the nation. It has been white and Catholic longer than the US has been a country, and it’s the only Catholic stronghold in the country that got that way by heritage rather than immigration or conversion.
It is the only Catholic region that generally survived secularization/protestentization and that’s thanks to its strong heritage roots.
The other 3 are the places we see with skyrocketing conversions, packed masses, new massive churches being built and ordinations mogging entire other states.
Don't forget that amongst all the Mormon discourse online.
They're the ones who have tucked with the Charlie Kirk investigation
They didn't want to redistrict
They are hindering the right
They're not the only ones
But they are doing it
It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.
Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.
And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...
Every one of the Founding Fathers would have started a Revolution again if they saw what our government had become. Without hesitation. It is the apotheosis of tyranny.
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
Here is how Liberals are tricking you into accepting women's ordination:
🚨Altar girls (women can serve at the altar next to the priest)
🚨Female lectors (women can proclaim Scripture)
🚨Female Eucharistic ministers (women can administer the Eucharist and open and close the tabernacle)
🚨Women preachers (women can preach)
“See! Functionally they are already doing EVERYTHING clergy does! It's only proper to ordain them, too.”
PS: Catholic women serving in these “ministries” with goodwill are being used to foment the doctrinal rebellion to overturn Scripture and Tradition.
