Did anyone happen to watch the soccer match last night between the United States and Paraguay? Unbelievable. I've never seen a USA men's soccer team perform so well in international competition. The most goals the US has ever scored in a World Cup game. Cheers, Gentlemen.

I'm proud to be a resident of the great and sovereign state of Tennessee, where The public celebration is of family in the month of June, and not the penultimate sin.

Those of you who, along with me, live in the great State of Tennessee I would like to wish you on this first day of the month a very happy Nuclear Family Month.

Controversial opinion: It is the repulsive oikophobia of the Left and of Leftist ideas that makes modern Liberalism unfit to govern this country, or any self-respecting Western nation. Oikophobia is inherent in Leftism, and is to the Left as air is to fire.

Good job @CSexton25! Perhaps we can provide the cry babies in the Democratic caucus with pacifiers and send them to the nursery as well.

There are lots of people who try to enter the sheepfold of the Lord without going through the Lord himself. People do this when they want to claim Christ without living for Him.

I had quite a problem at Mass today. I came within one host of running out of the Eucharist. The pews were filled, and the people just kept coming. I'm all for more of this kind of problem.

If you hear a rumbling sound this morning, that would be Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison, George Washington, and Robert E. Lee all turning over in their graves. #VirginiaVotes #Virginia #America250 #USA250 #US250 #USA250th

We occasionally need reminding that Our Lord said "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers."

In keeping with my own Lenten penitence of recent years, I will be withdrawing from X/Twitter for the duration of this season of fasting. I choose to fast from social media, which I think is good for the soul, I know it's good for mine. I pray all of you have a very Holy Lent.

Today is the 50th Anniversary of my birth. I am officially old. One of the ways that I know this is that I have received my first official mailings from our country's influencial Old Fart Societies.

If you actually want me to watch or listen to the mainstream media again, be advised that I would find a way to tune in every day for this....

Dr. Chapp has done what he does very well... He has accurately explained why the SSPX and their plans to consecrate bishops without the approval of the Pope is a problem and is schismatic. If the SSPX does this, not for a first but for a 2nd time, they are pretend traditionalists

My take on the SSPX situation:

از گفتن این جمله متنفرم، اما باور ندارم که دولت ایران سرنگون خواهد شد. برای انجام این کار به چیزی بسیار فراتر از اعتراضات در شهرها نیاز است. همچنین مداخله ایالات متحده و سرنگونی دولت با زور، ایده بدی خواهد بود.

These are some very interesting thoughts here, not by some pro-Russian Kremlin hack, but from @ZelenskyyUa's former press secretary. She is confirming what a lot of us have tried to say in recent months. This isn't crazy talk. These are real human lives here.

Every subsequent deal for Ukraine will only be worse — because we are losing. We are losing people, territory, and the economy.
The EU (which by the way has paid Russia more than €311 billion for energy and goods since February 2022) has no real strategy, no way to stop fueling Russian budget or support Ukraine enough to win, no direct dialogue with Moscow, and no meaningful leverage over either the Kremlin or Washington.
Arguments that “Russia has gained so little land” sound almost childish when you consider the human cost. We have lost more people in three years than some European nations have as the whole population.
My country is bleeding out. Many who reflexively oppose every peace proposal believe they are defending Ukraine. With all respect, that is the clearest proof they have no idea what is actually happening on the front lines and inside the country right now.
War is not a Hollywood movie. I will never abandon the values that God and democracy both place at the very foundation of human existence: human life is the highest good, and people — living, breathing people — are the ones who must be saved.

I'm sharing this because Pat Buchanan has always been my political hero. Today is his birthday. He deserves the Medal of Freedom and he probably won't get it. President Nixon was right about Buchanan. Our country needs a million Pat Buchanans.

I think that there are a lot of people who are fencing themselves Republicans and conservatives today who need to remember this. Our national loyalty should be not only to America first, but to America alone.
