"And the devil said to him, ‘To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.’" - Luke 4:6-7

And a majority of America bent the knee to the devil.

We don't have any money and we don't have any migration. I have the perfect idea -- let's spend millions on a referendum.
Net migration in Alberta. Up, up, up, down, down, down.

Net international migration to Alberta totalled 197 in Q3 2025, down 99% from 32,046 in the same quarter a year prior.

You’ve got to click through to really be able to read this, but note that the box on the top right says this will actually be a two-level facility, with around 5,200 beds on the ground floor (if I’m reading the blurry text right) and around 3,100 on the “mezzanine.”

in the US, there are more consequences for speaking over 3 minutes than harming children and helping the world's most notorious pedophile
in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

I remember once watching a cozy chat with Nick Fuentes and Fresh & Fit (a black manosphere podcast) where they all agreed women shouldn't vote, then Fuentes added "a lot of people shouldn't be able to vote!" And they all chuckled along. I just thought... Who do you guys think he's talking about?

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX
Members-only Philly cop bar has been linked to two DUIs — and a third crash kept secret, until now
Anna Wakeman still questions why 7C Lounge bartenders didn’t stop serving the officer who crashed into her house and upended her life five years ago.

Given Cardinal Tobin's visit yesterday to a detention center in NJ and Cupich's actions here, there's a clear trend of Catholic hierarchs pushing to visit facilities where DHS is holding detainees.

Note: *Many* faith groups have pushed for this kind of access. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn2D...

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

As Emmanuel Macron pointed out, free speech loses its meaning when algorithms secretly shape what we see.

Platforms influence debates, fuel division & push harmful content.

Without transparency, how can we trust the information we see? Accountability is a democratic necessity.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
