Bible = Roadmap to the Catholic Church.

The Mountains, Range & Forge.
This is the post of the Year.
Christ was born into a family, not an empire. His thirty hidden years were spent not in revolution but in obedience, labor, custom, and prayer. That is our pattern. To rebuild Christian civilization after the fall of liberalism, we must build hidden Nazareths everywhere—homes of justice, work, prayer, and joy. From these will come a society in which Christ is King, not only of hearts, but of land, law, and labor. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15

I learned the truth about the Catholic Church on 𝕏 and YouTube, thanks to faithful Catholics who thought it was worthwhile to have conversations with confused Protestants. There are millions of people just like me who will convert, but more evangelists are needed.

Defending the Republican majority is our sole mission this November. It’s an honor to fight alongside our leadership team, travel the country, and raise nearly $4.7 million in Q3.

Not surprised. We now need the bottom line for NC and need a qualified statistician to show us exactly how this may impact the "race results" nationally. @FamedCelebrity
I have just completed what I believe to be the most comprehensive evaluation of Charlotte NC arrest records in history. This project has taken me 3 months to complete, combing through over 50,000+ arrest records and mugshots. I've found what appears to be massive fraud. Thousands of Hispanics have been labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" in the arrest records... THOUSANDS. In fact, I found over 500 cases where Hispanics who were arrested more than once... had their "Ethnicity" CHANGED from "Hispanic" to "Caucasian" from one arrest to another. Horrifyingly, I found HUNDREDS of these "White Caucasians" were actually ILLEGAL ALIENS from foreign countries with ICE detainers. Perhaps most disturbing... Many of the illegal aliens who were labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" had already been released back into the public, DESPITE the ICE detainer requesting they stay in prison. We have a serious problem.

Today we remember the Battle of Lepanto, which occurred on this day 455 years ago.

The Battle of Lepanto on October 7th, 1571 was a victory that was sorely needed as Turkish forces swept across the Aegean and elsewhere since the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The Holy League was an alliance of many of the Catholic countries, including Spain, the Papal States, Republic of Venice, Republic of Genoa and the Duchies of Tuscany, Savoy, Urbino and Parma along with the Knights of Malta. Key non-participating countries were France, Portugal and the Holy Roman Empire, who were all invited but decided to sit out one of the most important battles in the history of Christianity. The Venetians would especially get a little payback for all of the raping and pillaging that had been done to its Empire by the Turks. Lepanto (1571), was the second of three important Christian victories, with Belgrade (1456) being the first and Vienna (1683), the third .

In his letter to the Colossians, St Paul mentions another letter he had sent to the Laodiceans ("when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.” Col 4:16). Some people think the Letter to the Laodicians is in fact what we call Ephesians, which was a circular letter. But wouldn't it be delicious if one day someone were to discover a separate Pauline epistle to the Laodiceans?

On the 3rd of October 1526, a clerk at the Arsenal of Venice wrote out a receipt. 296 ducats for 185 arquebus barrels. Paid to a gun-barrel maker in a valley above Brescia, one Bartolomeo Beretta. That scrap of paper is still in the Venetian archives. Last Saturday, five hundred years to the day, the company it started turned 500. Most family firms don't survive the third generation. Beretta is on the fifteenth, and the sixteenth is already at work. Today, the company is run by Pietro and Franco Gussalli Beretta. Same surname. Same valley. And they still make the guns where Bartolomeo lit the forge. Think about what that receipt, and the company, has outlived: The Republic of Venice. The Spanish Empire. Napoleon. The British Empire. Two world wars. The Soviet Union. No other industrial family, they say, has run a business for five centuries without a break. And this year, some limited-edition anniversary guns are numbered 1,526, the year on the receipt. What it boils down to is this: a man took an order, did the work, and taught his son. Then his son did the same. Fifteen times. Now that's a family legacy! To the Berettas 🥂

🚨 JUST NOW: As MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed ADMITS to dual citizenship in Egypt, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says ALL DUAL CITIZENS must be "BANNED from serving in Congress" THIS IS COMMON SENSE! LUNA: "You cannot have allegiance to two countries...Abdul El Sayed bragging about his dual citizenship. Foreign insurgents have no place in our government." 💯 She's spot-on. That includes to ANY COUNTRY. Renounce your citizenship from anywhere else, AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸

"All I wanted was two things: to say only the Traditional Roman Rite Sacraments as a Roman Rite Priest, with no threat of it being taken from me, and to preach 100% of Catholicism without being cancelled for it." - Fr. Philip Conklin, SSPX-affiliated Priest. What an inverted world we live in - where a Priest of the Roman Catholic Church is unable to preach the doctrines of Eternal Rome, or offer the traditional Roman Sacraments, without fear of reprisal from... Rome. O Lord, Grant Us Priests. O Lord, Grant Us Holy Priests. O Lord, Grant Us Many Holy Priests. Please donate and pray for Fr. Conklin, our new Priest! Donation Link: givesendgo.com/father-philip…
Pray for Fr. Conklin as he navigates this canonical process. He’s a courageous man and very holy priest. Rome will strive to make an example out of him and his recent affiliation with SSPX, but we can do our best to help him fight this injustice. givesendgo.com/father-philip…

It's a nightmare. I can't bear to watch what's happening. Wrote this yesterday.
It's hard to describe how I feel watching the heritage and culture of great European nations be intentionally and systematically dismantled. Great Britain especially has given us much of the framework for building more just and dignified communities and institutions, which though they're now under attack, we've largely taken for granted in the West. English common law, the Magna Carta (1215), habeas corpus, and the gradual development of parliamentary supremacy became models for legal systems across the English-speaking world and influenced later constitutionalism. (h/t Grok) For all the misery it may have also caused, the Industrial Revolution in Britain did set the stage for a mass reduction in poverty, driving countless innovations that made life generally far more bearable for people across the globe. And what about literature and language? Imagine a world without Shakespeare’s plays which remain a central reference point in Western drama and language. Or a world without Chaucer, John Milton, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge? Or without Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, and even Agatha Christie? Their intellectual and linguistic gifts are so infused in English-speaking cultures, that once again, we take for granted that the conventions we've long appreciated have always just been there. I could write far more by also referencing the the one-time greatness of France, Spain, and Italy, (and even Germany to a degree especially as it relates to music and philosophy), but that's for an essay, not an X post. Everyday now I watch in horror as France, Spain, the UK, and Germany disappear before our very eyes. Thankfully, Italy doesn't seem to be on quite the same downward spiral as France and Spain largely thanks to Meloni I suspect, imperfect though she may be. What makes this catastrophe even more tragic and mind-boggling is knowing that it's been planned and is being implemented by Europeans themselves. Mass immigration from cultures that are hostile to the West is being executed by the same misanthropic elites who've for decades been actively discouraging marriage, child bearing, religion and faith, and healthy sexuality, (not to mention the right to self-defence), thus preparing the populace for the “need” to import millions of migrants who will decimate Christendom once and for all. It's a crisis I never imagined when I was younger. I can only keep praying that enough Europeans wake up to the existential threat that's upon them and find the courage and grace to fight back against the demons who rule them. It might take a miracle to save Europe, but miracles happen all the time. What people need to realize is that God usually works them not to increase faith, but as a response to faith. Every European citizen seeking to preserve what's left of his or her culture, needs to turn back to God before it's too late.

🚨BREAKING: Scott Presler and his team at Early Vote Action just exposed something massive in Philadelphia. They hand-transcribed thousands of names from the non-juror lists, people summoned for jury duty who were excused because they are not U.S. citizens. When they cross-referenced those names against the actual Pennsylvania voter rolls, roughly one out of every four came back as active registered voters. That’s not a small glitch. We’re talking illegal alien voters on the rolls, including some who have committed serious crimes against women and children, murderers, and sex traffickers. Scott turned the data over to the Department of Justice. The DOJ is now threatening federal criminal prosecutions against Democrat state officials if they refuse to clean up the system. This is the kind of work that actually forces action. Philadelphia has already started purging tens of thousands of names in the wake of this pressure, and the gap to a Republican registration plurality in Pennsylvania has narrowed dramatically in just days. Only American citizens should be voting in American elections. Scott is doing the hard, unglamorous work of proving it, one non-juror list at a time.

The greatest threat to Western Civilisation is effeminacy. Effeminacy is the opposing vice to cardinal virtue of fortitude. It is the inability or unwillingness to engage in what is arduous, and to deprive one's self from inordinate attachment to pleasures. The modern world, with all of its convenience and comfort, breeds effeminacy. Austerity, on the other hand, cultivates the virtue fortitude and breeds a strong and noble people. This is why you must fast and do penance. This is why you must chastise your body and bring it into subjection. This is how you resist.
