Glad to see this panel @The_ACNA

Cancel-culture efforts & demands for apologies leave me wondering: is the goal to get any initiative that tackles sexism/misogyny cancelled?

B/c if ppl can't even hear those words w/out melting down, it only shows how much we need this panel🧵
Over the yrs, countless people have contacted Bp Dobbs about the online behavior of Fr. Matt Kennedy.

I myself have done it publicly in the past. ⬇️

And I'm doing it again today, b/c I hope the province won't bend to cancel culture. 2/

Fr. Matt & Rev. Anne have again taken on the role of self-appointed ideological judge & jury, demanding a public apology & calling for the entire discussion to be shut down.

This is the opposite of cultivating healthy communities, let alone allowing for critical thinking. 3/ Image

My proposal for pardon reform:

1-Pardons must be affirmatively approved by a vote of 2/3 of either the House or the Senate

2-If a president issues a pardon, the House is constitutionally obligated to hold a vote on it no later than 30 days after the pardon

(1/4)
3-If the House votes down a pardon, the Senate is constitutionally required to hold a vote no later than 30 days after rejection

4-If a pardon is rejected by the Senate, the president is barred from issuing pardons for the same offense to the same individuals

(2/4)
5-The congressional approval requirement will not apply to pardons issued to comply with international agreements with other countries, but in these cases the senate must vote on the pardon by the initiative of any senator and may, by a 2/3 vote, reject the pardon

(3/4)

My name is Sameerah Munshi. I am an American citizen and an advisor to the White House Religious Liberty Commission, appointed by the President of the United States.

Below is my statement on recent events surrounding the Commission and Carrie Prejean Boller @CarriePrejean1 @DanPatrick @POTUS

Full statement also here: open.substack.com/pub/sameerahmu…
In recent weeks, I have become deeply concerned about efforts to expand the definition of antisemitism in a manner that will, wittingly or unwittingly, restrict constitutionally protected speech and religious expression. That concern was brought into sharp relief at the latest hearing on antisemitism where Christian views and beliefs were targeted as “antisemitic” for merely expressing concerns about the ongoing conflation between criticism of the state of Israel and anti-Jewish animus.
During the hearing, an attempt was made by a collection of “Israel First” actors to redefine antisemitism to include all criticism of Israel, smear many concerned citizens as bigots, and even gatekeep what counts as “real” Judaism by confining it to Israel-first Jews. In preparation for the hearing, Commissioners and Advisors were asked to submit suggested witnesses who could provide scholarly, legal, and experiential insight into the matter. Several of us, most notably Carrie Prejean Boller and myself, proposed distinguished academics and experts in Jewish history, theology, and civil liberties. However, none of the witnesses we recommended were approved. Consequently, the final witness list reflected an uncritical “Israel-First” Zionist perspective on the issue to the exclusion of any countervailing perspective or alternative Jewish experience.

Isn't it interesting that Chrystals partner in crime, Jeremy Cryberry, has been allegedly named as a
Pedophile, these are the animals being sent to attack woman and children to have their identity's
questioned ... Real piece of work, I find it quite interesting the number Image
of people who tie into Leroux with this self appointed work against self identity laws, who have been named as sexually perverted assholes in one way or another ... Is it only me, noticing this? The number of Indigenous people who support this creep is disgusting !!
But hey,
keep him up on your pedostal oops I meant pedestal, lol .. Hold him high, he seems such a genuinely, good person of character... 😳🤔🫣🤣 Image

I looked at Houston Methodist Hospital's IRS 990 filings and I genuinely don't understand what I'm reading.

This "nonprofit hospital" traded $9.3 BILLION in securities in 2021.

Their total patient revenue? $2.5 billion.

They traded 3.6x more in securities than they earned treating patients. 🧵
It gets weirder.

Houston Methodist operates through TWO separate legal entities with different EINs. Combined assets across both: $18.5 billion.

Their investment income jumped from $19M to $108M in just 2 years — a 5.7x increase.

Officer compensation: $16.5 million per year.

Tax-exempt.
For comparison, Memorial Hermann — a comparable Houston nonprofit hospital — derives 97% of its revenue from patient care.

Securities trading? Zero.

Same city. Same "nonprofit" status. Wildly different financial profiles.

1913 — Federal Reserve
1913 — IRS (Income Tax)
1913 — Rockefeller Foundation
1913 — American Cancer Society
1913 — ADL
1913 — Warburg (linked to Rothschilds) installs central banking

1914 — WW1

All in one year.

Coincidence?
Or installation?

A thread 🧵
1912 — The Titanic sinks.

On board:

🔹John Jacob Astor IV
🔹Benjamin Guggenheim
🔹Isidor Straus

All wealthy.
All opposed to the creation of a central bank.

J.P. Morgan owned the ship.
He canceled last minute.
They didn’t.

The resistance sank.
The system rose.
1913 — The Fed is created.

Not federal.
No reserves.

A private banking cartel now controls America’s money.

They print.
They lend.

You owe.

The U.S. dollar became a tool.
And your time became their interest.

We fetched 871 articles published in the Guardian by Bryan Armen Graham over the last six years. It's clear that he is increasingly relying on AI.

In two weeks in February he churned out nine articles classified by Pangram as fully AI-generated.

Friendly Reminder: #AOCIA is not just a “Latinx bartender from the Bronx with no political experience” but actually an establishment opp with a spooky past who was put in place to gatekeep & subvert the American Left. THREAD 🧵⬇️🕵🏻‍♀️ Image
In the 2019 Netflix documentary “Knock Down the House,” which followed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s historic victory from the beginning of her “grassroots” campaign, #AOC was shown as a working class bartender in the Bronx, speaking Español in the kitchen & hauling buckets of ICE
In 2017, the Justice Democrats & a PAC called “Brand New Congress” put out a casting call (literally LÖL) for a grassroots candidate to challenge the establishment Democrat Joe Crowley

AOC’s brother nominated her & she was chosen

“I never really saw myself going into politics”

Here is my response to @staciburk on the matter of Jon McGreevy's credibility. (Thread follows.)
1/Staci argues that because there are no public records, court confirmations, or successful lawsuits, McGreevy must have been lying.
This assumes: “If it isn’t publicly documented, it didn’t happen.” Doesn't match how intelligence work, informants, or whistleblowing function.
2/Note, this is not a defense of every claim McGreevy made. It is a critique of Burk's strangely emphatic insistence that he is a liar.

Extraordinary claims require investigation — not rhetorical shortcuts based solely on record gaps, official denials, and social media spats.

Before my friend proposed, his grandfather gave him 7 rules about choosing a wife.

He said ignoring it costs men decades.

These are the rules…
1. Choose a Woman Who Respects You, Not Just One Who Loves You.

Love without respect is pity. It will feel good when things are easy, but when conflict comes, love without respect becomes condescension and dismissal.

A woman who respects you will follow your leadership even when she disagrees. A woman who only loves you will only follow when she feels like it.

Watch how she speaks about you to others. Watch how she speaks to you when she's angry.

Respect is the foundation. Love is the decoration.
2. Observe Her Relationship With Her Mother.

This is the template for her future femininity.

If she speaks to her mother with contempt, she will eventually speak to you with contempt. If she has unresolved conflict with her mother, she will project that onto every intimate relationship.

If she has a healthy, respectful relationship with her mother, she has a model for how to be in a long-term feminine role.

You are not just marrying her. You are marrying her mother's influence.

One of the most fascinating things about the 3 buildings being collapsed with controlled demolitions on 9/11 is this: they also made sure to PULVERIZE all of the concrete inside the buildings.

Each floor was made of 4" thick concrete that had been poured in place during
construction. George Pataki, upon arrival at the site on 9/12, was very confused and asked "Where's all the concrete?" He went on to note that all of lower Manhattan was covered with 3" of concrete dust.

If they had not pulverized the concrete, the cleanup of the site would
have taken 2 months longer. And they definitely didn't want any eyes on the steel beams for that length of time. Also note that all the steel was sent to China for melting, instead of US firms. The steel beams showed the evidence of incendiaries being used to cut them; and

How to deal with someone who has a high level of narcissistic traits:
Narcissistic traits come from arrested development. Arrested development means someone stopped emotional or social growth. They age physically, but not mentally.
Arrested development looks like:
- Fragile self-esteem
- Heavy dependence on external validation
- Difficulty acknowledging flaws
- Inability to understand emotions of others
- high entitlement
- low ability to deal with frustration or disappointment
