No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others. You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all. Enough! If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists. If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized. For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent. It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

At the very moment that Augustus is making decrees as the ruler of the known world, and Herod is seething in his palace, God enters stage right. Not on the clouds, asserting his power and dominance, not with all the strength and might he rightly has. But in humility. Doing so with a profound statement that he is turning all our preconceived notions completely upside down. One of the most beautiful, yet often overlooked, components to this story is Mary’s reaction to the news of her Son. In church tradition we call her carol The Magnificat: “My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.  For from now on all generations will call me blessed, because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name; from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.  He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.  He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.  He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” (Luke 1:46-55) Amidst all the interpretations of Christmas that we hear at this time of year from clergy, advertisers, politicians, and journalists, we might benefit from listening to the mother who sits at the centre of it all. According to Mary, Christmas is about God scattering the proud, bringing down unjust rulers, lifting up the humble. It’s about God turning things upside down— which ironically is the right way up to begin with. And God accomplishes all of this not “from on high,” like the decree of Augustus, or the brutality of Herod; instead, God achieves his purposes from below in the lowliness of a manger. With shepherds, livestock, and foreign magi as the first witnesses.  Christmas is about God turning things upside down—which ironically is the right way up to begin with.  Every detail about the Christmas story (and the subsequent life of Jesus as well), states that God will reverse the mess and do so by first getting his own hands dirty. God conquers by humbling himself, he will heal by being wounded, he will save us by sacrificing himself. The manger is a throne, and works as a beacon of how God intends to turn everything upside down. Grace triumphs over dominance, mercy over force, and Mary’s song will be the world’s song. Joy will pierce through the sorrow and sadness, fully and forever.

My heart breaks today for the millions of Catholics that have never known the joy of true salvation through the finished work of Jesus Christ. - no works - no sacraments - no baptism - no candles - no images - no Mary - no confessional - no communion - no Pope - just faith alone in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Oh my Jesus!

A Christian in Syria is crying out for help as his village is being SLAUGHTERED. Families are being torn apart while the world stays silent. Where is the humanity? 💔

Elon: Here I come to slash government spending! Libs: AHHH THE SPACEMAN IS GONNA STEAL YOUR IDENTITY OR SOMETHING

California has the best land and worst government in America. Gavin Newsom’s failed water and forest management policies helped turn what could be manageable fires into devastating infernos. And Trump called it months ago on his interview with Joe Rogan. Here’s are details.

Unbelievers: would you really rather be with God? There’s only one door, but it’s not locked.

This is Milton Friedman casually giving the blueprint for @DOGE.

Realest movie scene 💯🙌🏼✝️♾️

This week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was asked if he would step down if President Trump asked him to resign. Powell answered “No.” The law does not permit the president to fire the Fed chairman. Powell didn’t mention, however, that The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional to begin with. No power was ever granted to the federal government to create a monopoly bank that manipulates interest rates and counterfeits money. So the big issue is not who has more authority over the other; the president or the Fed chairman. The issue is that the Federal Reserve should not exist at all! Watch below:

The tragedy and horror of 9/11 could have been a national moment of awakening. We could have asked, "What have we sown in the world that inspired such violence?" But instead, the neocons in the Bush administration used it as a launchpad for a global War on Terror that has cost millions of lives and bankrupted our nation — financially and morally. So, let us take this day to ask again, "What are we sowing in the world?" For hate breeds hate. Violence breeds violence. If we can remember that, then the deaths of the victims and the pain of their families will not have entirely been in vain.

WOW: @calleymeans, pharmacist and co-founder of Truemed, drops some amazing facts on how bureaucrats, academics, and politicians profit from you being sick! 1.) 80% of The American Academy of Pediatrics' funding comes from Big Pharma 2.) 75% of FDA funding comes from pharmaceutical companies, not taxpayers 3.) Big Pharma funds over 50% of all TV news 4.) The healthcare industry provides 5X more funding for political campaigns than the oil industry 5.) The American Diabetes Association accepts millions of dollars from Coca-Cola, and once claimed that, "in small doses, it's a good drink for diabetics." 6.) 11X more funding comes from the food industry for nutritional research than from the NIH 7.) Over 50% of the Harvard Medical School budget touches Big Pharma in some way 8.) 90% of healthcare costs are due to preventable conditions tied to food 9.) 50% of young American adults are overweight or obese 10.) 33% of American adults have prediabetes 11.) 25% of young American adults have Fatty Liver Disease 12.) Meanwhile, the childhood obesity rate in Japan is just 4% "Every single institution that impacts your health is incentivized for you to be sick, and incentivized against you being healthy." "There has been no more profitable invention in the history of America than a sick child."

During my announcement speech more than a year ago, I said that I have so many skeletons in the closet that if they could vote, I would be king of the world. I knew much would be made of my past. I have been around politics. I know of its hazards. I also knew that my vision and policies would inspire resistance in the establishment. When you declare yourself foe to widespread corporate-government corruption and declare yourself counter-friction to a runaway war machine (a war machine killing innocents and draining our country’s coffers), you will inspire resistance in the establishment. (Put another way, many powerful people want to make sure the gravy train never stops. And I derail gravy trains.) When you point out the morbidity of our two-party system -- a system that our first president warned us about, a system that is now largely predicated on hating fellow humans -- you will inspire resistance in the establishment. When you’ve spent much of your life successfully fighting against our biggest corporations and worst polluters; fighting against mining, timber, hydroelectricity, and oil industries on behalf of the voiceless and the indigenous; fighting against agribusiness barons blithely ravaging the lives of small farmers and small towns, you will inspire resistance in the establishment. When you remind Americans that censorship and other curtailments of our civil liberties always arrive burnished with a moral and patriotic gloss, you will inspire resistance in the establishment. When you invoke our crisis of meaning, our deaths of despair, the addiction, and the many children lost to screens, ill health, and ennui, you will inspire resistance in the establishment. When you are wary of reductive partisan ideology and group-think; and when you refuse the common coin of today’s public discourse -- a glib second-rate cruelty delivered via the screen -- you will inspire resistance in the establishment. When you assert that to better our country we must work toward a politics that heals this divide and affirms our mutual belonging, you will inspire resistance in the establishment. As you perhaps know, I am used to such resistance -- used to the bile and malign distortions that accompany speaking out on high-stakes issues. And I know that the establishment’s treatment of me -- while challenging -- makes perfect sense. The dark and elaborately refined arts of partisan politics deployed to end my campaign (the documented censorship and shadowbanning; the out-in-the-open, anti-democratic, and well-funded attempts to keep me off ballots through expensive, complex, time-consuming legal challenges; the thwarting of debate access; the withholding of secret service protection; the paid staged protests; the sundry campaigns of defamation and scandalmongering) are the logical reactions of a threatened -- and very unwell -- status quo. And underneath all of this -- underneath much of this election cycle, underneath much of this moment in our nation’s politics -- is a sort of destitution. A destitution of heart. It’s no small wonder so many people have withdrawn from civic life and democracy altogether. A broken bond needs to be reestablished in our country. We need more soul-searching and less partisan warfare. Our work as Americans, whether we like it or not, transcends all labels and all parties. It seems we will recognize this reality and act accordingly; or be broken into it. History is not made occasionally on great stages by the privileged few but made daily in the depths of each human soul. Ours is a beautiful nation, still. According to the Internet, our country (and our world) founders in chaos. But in post offices, parks, grocery stores our beauty still heartens and shines. We all see it every day. It is in the name of that beauty that I work. It is in the name of that beauty that I run to be your next president. The true power of America is not its comfort, wealth, or military might, but its ideals of liberty, democracy, and generosity. This campaign is about honoring and restoring those ideals -- regardless of the defamation, evasion, and trickery. We knew those were coming. We will not be deterred on this necessary journey.

Col. @DougAMacgregor, CEO of @OCOCReport on the race between former President Donald #Trump, @KamalaHarris and @RobertKennedyJr. Who will be America’s choice?

The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans… It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA. Tells you everything you need to know.
