Scientific research integrity is at a crisis point. Fraud, conflicts of interest, regulatory capture and lack of accountability have produced numerous examples of “the science” being fraudulent and manipulated Scientists are not the objective observers we want them to be 🧵

Can we keep Freddy?

We found another surreal place on our way. I know some people will say I’m too positive about everything I see, but this place was crazy. They had a shooting range in the store.

You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.

12-year-old Xavier Taylor from Maple Shade, NJ, remains in extremely critical condition on a ventilator after a heartbreaking freak accident on May 26. ⚾💔 While warming up before a youth baseball game at Fellowship Columbia Bank Field, Xavier — a passionate pitcher/shortstop who lives for the game — was walking back to the dugout when an errant throw from a teammate struck him in the neck. He collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. His dad (a retired firefighter) rushed to him, and Xavier was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital. His father, Greg Taylor, has stressed it was a complete **freak accident with no one to blame**. Xavier, known for writing Bible verses on his hats and playing on multiple teams, is fighting hard. The family is holding onto faith and miracles. The community has rallied with prayer vigils, “Bats Out for X,” #6 shirts, and massive support. Videos of the vigils, father’s emotional updates, and local news coverage are circulating widely on TikTok — search #XavierStrong for raw community moments. **A prayer shared for Xavier & his family:** “Heavenly Father, we lift up Xavier Taylor to You. You know every detail of his life. Before he needed a miracle, he followed You, prayed to You, and wore Your Scriptures. Surround his family with peace. Lord, we ask for a miracle. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” 🙏 Prayers up for full recovery, strength for the Taylors, and the whole Maple Shade baseball family. He will play again. #XavierStrong #PrayForXavier #MapleShade

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

I'm a Catholic, so my response to having only two kids as "bordering on sin" is nuanced. Choosing to limit family size intentionally without a grave reason is a big moral problem, yes. But that aside, I think we need to address something else on the pro-natalist Christian right (which I am very much a part of). It is generally unnatural to intentionally limit yourself to one or two kids. It is also unnatural to be open to life, to have 5 children, with ZERO familial and community support. Traditional families had grandma living on the same street; spinster aunts and siblings who helped with babies; moms in the same neighborhood coming together daily to share the struggle. So many of the families at our church are struggling. Many kids, but parents live far away, don't practice the faith, or are estranged. Siblings are few and far between. Many of these people are trying to do something without the natural supports of a healthy community life. I'm all in on being fruitful and multiplying -- we currently have five kids and we aren't old yet! But we also need to be very aware of the breakdown of real community and the challenge that presents to big, fruitful, and often isolated families. We need more than encouraging "have more kids" if we are really going to rebuild a healthy Christian society.

🚨🇺🇸Cambridge gunman ID'd as Tyler Brown, 46, of Boston. In 2020 he was charged with attempting to murder Boston cops. Got 5-6 years. DA called the sentence "disappointing" and wanted 10-12. Released. Now back on the streets firing at random cars...

For those asking what the Church officially teaches, and who might feel confused in light of the final synod report: Marriage was instituted by God and elevated by Christ to a Sacrament. It will always and only exist in truth between one man and one woman. (Gen 2:24; Mt 19:4–6; CCC 1601) Engaging in homosexual acts, or any sexual acts outside of the marital act, is sinful. (Rom 1:26–27; 1 Cor 6:9–10; CCC 2351, 2357) Love for the person means telling them the truth, and certainly does no leave them where they are. Meeting people where they are is delicate indeed, but “go and sin no more” is also merciful and compassionate. The ministerial priesthood will only consist of men. (OS 4; CCC 1577) There is only one true Church, the Catholic Church. (LG 8; CCC 816) This is what the Church teaches and it will never change. To depart from these teachings is to depart from Christ and His Church. (Gal 1:8–9; 2 Thess 2:15) The Church will always uphold the dignity of every human person and express how loved they are by God, while also proclaiming that repentance from sin, and remaining faithful to Church teaching on marriage, Holy Orders, and the purpose of human sexuality, are essential to being faithful Catholics. (Jn 8:11; CCC 1700, 1847, 2358) You may say, “People know this, why be so blunt?” The problem is that confusion about these topics exists, and where there is confusion, crystal clear non-ambiguous language is necessary. You may say “but the synod is not seeking to change anything, but discover new ways of meeting people and make them feel less alienated.” Yet, are we concerned with souls being alienated from the Kingdom of God because we only focused on building bridges? If you build a bridge, repentance needs to be the support beams, otherwise like a house built on sand, it will collapse.

This country was founded on the gospel of Jesus Christ

“They reported me to the STATE for selling pickles and green beans.” “The government says I CANT sell food grown on my OWN land.” Yet the same system that bans farm-fresh jars has no problem APPROVING shelves full of pesticide-treated, chemically processed junk.

The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no. I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives. wsj.com/economy/u-s-debt-top…

Today I asked an abortion advocate what her favorite method of abortion is.

Tolerating this is not love. They should be in prison or forced rehab. Letting this continue is not good for the user or for society. End it now!
