🚨 IMPORTANT: Sarah Adams (@TPASarah) was an Intelligence Analyst & Targeter at CIA & writes on national security issues & terrorism.

Last month, she warned @ShawnRyan762's audience about impending US homeland attacks. Here are 5 key clips from that interview. Buckle up! 🧵👇 Sarah says there are at least 1,000 terrorists that have been trained to attack the US homeland who are already in the country:

I'm supposed to be leaving to finish Christmas shopping for the kids, but I can't stop thinking about what is going on in our skies. At 4:41AM, my 15yo son woke up to a drone hovering in our yard, level with his window.

He said it "looked at him." Let me explain:🧵👇 My son is a bit of an insomniac. He was trying to sleep, but couldn't, and then noticed light and noise coming in from outside. Not airplane noise. "Like a car" he said. So he got up to look and he sees a drone. He said it was large, but hard to estimate the size of. 👇

🚨 BIG DRONE/UAP THREAD WITH LATEST BREAKING UPDATES/VIDEO:

A month into the drone debacle, the geographic area and significance of the sightings has only increased. Let's break it down so you can be up to date on all the latest! 🧵👇 The White House has been assuring us that the drones were a non-issue. "Lawful and legal" drone flights was how White House National Security Communications Advisor Admiral John Kirby described it to @BretBaier just a few days ago:

So a funny thing has been happening with the drone story.

None of the official stories make sense.

Local elected officials and law enforcement are saying it’s a real, serious problem. Police say the drones don’t emit heat signatures & easily evade them. 🧵👇 Multiple sensitive military sights have gotten overflights. Picatinny Arsenal has confirmed at least 11 sightings. Naval Weapons Station Earle had to activate their de-droning equipment. But that's not all. An even bigger event happened last night...

All you fans of the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of the War of the Worlds, as well as the 1953 film that followed, know this: the town of Grover’s Mill, New Jersey, will forever be etched in our minds as the location where the Martians began their reign of terror. 🧵👇 When news reports of the real-life anomalous drones over New Jersey first broke a week or two ago, my mind immediately returned to the War of the Worlds broadcast. It was almost too perfect. Too on the nose. The part of my brain that’s always...

BIG VIDEO THREAD OF RECENT UAP/DRONE SIGHTINGS: 🛸👾📽️

New Jersey is the biggest hot spot, but sightings of anomalous objects in the sky are happening all over. The following is a thread of videos or images of those other recent sightings. Buckle up! 👇🧵 Disclaimer: whenever you post videos/images you find online, there's always a possibility that some are going to be fake, or misidentified, or otherwise debunked. If you know something's off, leave a reply! If you have your own video, leave it in a reply!

Let's go! 👇

OK, I wrote a post on this yesterday, but it's time for a New Jersey drones thread with some of the evidence I've been collecting from afar. If you want to know what's going on, start here. 🧵👇 For weeks, UFO sightings have been increasing. The strangest, most persistent manifestation of this phenomenon is happening in New Jersey, where hundreds of sightings of strange, large “drones” disguised to look like commercial aircraft are flying around every night.

Money’s tight. Been doing writing/content by day, Uber Eats second shift.

Wound up in a KFC tonight. I try to avoid fast food places, because they’re always a problem. Tonight it was the only thing coming in.

I was waiting forever. Only white guy in the place…. Bro comes in with 2 pounds of bling around his neck, like he’s a hip hop star. He’s wearing shades even though the sun is going down. He’s cool to me. No beef. But I’m sitting here looking at my phone and he’s starts shooting the shit with another homie…

Trump is sharing his plan for America's renewal in a new and easily understandable way.

In a series of short videos, he quickly details how he intends to implement his ideas & policies. This is a masterclass in effective political communication. Let's look at a few...🧵 In this one, Trump tackles the mutilation and sterilization of children under the guise of "gender-affirming care." He first lays out the problem, and then details how he intends to fix it. The video is only 2 minutes and 20 seconds long:

I think it's fair to say that most of us struggle with selfishness.

But I'd like to tell you the story of one young man whose selfishness nearly cost him his life, and what he learned from that experience. 🧵👇 Seth Adam Smith is an introvert. But his dislike and avoidance of other people very nearly killed him. "I thought only about myself," he writes. "My wants, my feelings, & my problems. My selfishness was a downward spiral that led to a veritable prison of isolation and despair."

People ask why I sometimes refer to Catholicism as a “cult of masochism”. It’s because Catholics have a tendency to not just resign themselves to the idea that God desires suffering, but often proclaim that they deserve it.

Quote from John Vianney. Others from 2 different kids’… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… A friend was telling me, “Fr. Ripperger had a talk on hell on his website that goes into graphic detail about all the different physical, mental, and spiritual torments the damned have to face. It’s almost literal torture porn. And then he concludes by saying, ‘And even after a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Odd to refer to this phenomenon as "adolescent atheism." Forcing a teen to act as though they believe something they don't is not a productive course of action.

My mom was once complaining to me about my youngest sister not being willing to participate enough in devotional activities - stations of the cross, daily Mass, etc.

Christianity tells you that you're a miserable sinner who deserves hell for merely being conceived in original sin; it claims you can never do anything good without God holding your hand & mostly doing it for you. You'll never be sinless, never be truly virtuous, always live... ...in wretchedness, needing a redeemer. It tells you that YOU can't change you, only God can. And if you take that to heart, you absolutely won't. You'll believe it, right down to your core, and you'll pray & plead & beg to become better, to overcome this sin, that vice, but...

🧵I'm using the new #midjourneyAi update (version 4) to re-run old prompts I did when I first started using an earlier version last summer. What a difference. (Prompt: "alfons mucha cyberpunk geisha assassin")
For all coparisons, Left image = old version, right = new: Prompt: "pope francis is a demon"

Not an endorsement of her entire oeuvre - she's way more aggressive about this stuff than I care to be. But this resonated. I hear people all the time try to downplay the strong psychological ramifications of growing up in a devout religious milieu with its attendant beliefs. 1/

Or else they say, "My experience of religion isn't like that." That one's funny, because as a Catholic, I have spent much of my life pointing out that the majority of the religion has become a joke. The Church doesn't take its own core teachings seriously anymore. 2/

Honestly, I think Pa Ingalls is the role model with this. Definitely a man doing man things, taking on the danger & hardest work. But he had no problem teaching his girls & pitching in @ home. And Ma was a hard worker right alongside him. A better model than any I’ve seen.

A lot of us guys these days were never really taught how to do man things. At most our dads modeled going to work every day no matter what, but many saw providers who sort of turned into Archie Bunker are home. Traditional gender roles are weird, bc there’s really no “tradition”.

🧵My wife told me about a debate she saw over modesty. Some guy was complaining about how much skin women are showing, some leftie with an audience decided to shame him, saying it was his problem & nobody else's. Pile on ensued.

But it got me thinking about consent. Take religious morality off the table and just look at biology. It's a known fact that men and women have different triggers for sexual arousal. You don't have to take my word for it. Here's an article from Nature:

In a discussion about papal infallibility, someone mentions the relatio of Vatican I's "Pastor Aeternus" (PA) as the official explainer.

“An explanation of a dogma is not infallible,” someone replies.

So we have a definition of infallibility, but not an infallible 1/ explanation of infallibility, so we have no way of knowing what infallibility really means, at least not infallibly.

Nor, it should be noted, do we have an exhaustive list of infallible papal statements. And if we had such a list, it, too, would not be infallible, by nature. 2/

I used to be the floor manager for Franciscan University Presents on EWTN. Back in the 1990s. I remember when she came on to discuss promulgation of the so-called "Fifth Marian Dogma" -- namely, that Mary is mediatrix of all grace & co-redemptrix.

She opposed it. Adamantly. 1/

I don't recall it being because she disagreed with the theology behind the push, but because the Church was facing so many other problems. I recall her saying that when people don't even believe in the Eucharist, it's not time to push new controversial dogmas on them. 2/

An online friend sent some images from a book he's reading in the hopes it would be helpful to me as I navigate the agita of this interminable existential crisis. This image sort of stopped me in my tracks: 1/ So much of this mirrors my own constant thoughts, and the battle going on inside me.

And that raises an interesting set of questions. 2/

The first time I entered encountered something like this, I was in high school. My mom made me correct the priest after mass because she said I could do a better job than she could.

But my life as a Catholic was just watching one heresy or abuse after another play out. 1/

The thing is, when I get on a plane, I don’t want to have to fly because the pilot is doing it wrong. Same thing with a doctor. I may know more about something, I may not, but it shouldn’t be my job. Certainly not on every plane, or in every doctor’s office.
