A traditional Catholic family was allegedly “dragged out of their home at gunpoint, handcuffed and locked in a van” earlier this year after the FBI “goaded” their 15-year-old son to post “offensive memes” online. The teen, a volunteer firefighter and altar boy, was then hospitalized on mental health pretenses, according to his father, Jeremiah Rufini. (snip) The FBI targeted the boy as part of a sting operation catfishing traditionalist Catholic teenagers with “extreme political content,” Rufini explained in the family’s GiveSendGo crowdfunding site.

The foundation for the evil corrupt FBI was laid very carefully by fools in Congress placing BAD people in positions of authority for decades. This is an article I truly hope Christians will make it a point to share and discuss with family and friends.

If Garland's and Wray's lips are moving, their lying....every. single. time. Believe NOTHING that comes put of their mouths. I hope the Rufini family takes a page from the Nicholas Sandmann playbook; it served the Sandmann family quite well.

It's amazing how all these errors in judgement, etc. go one way. I used to think removing personal liability from peace officers and government bureaucrats was a bad idea. Maybe not, when mulitiple instances of intentional targeting based on political leanings ... one way, of course, are commonplace.

FTA: "my brother and I were charged for allowing my son to target shoot based on the assumption that we must have somehow known that he was involved in political extremism online." So now its a crime to go target shooting if you don't have the right politics?

As I reflect upon our two adoptions this National Adoption Month, I am left teary-eyed remembering the beauty of the journeys for me and my husband, as well as the strength and generosity of their biological mothers — women who went above themselves in choosing life and hope for their children. Twenty-four years ago, doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis and told me I would likely never be able to have children. My husband and I were devastated. As I coped with my grief, I had no idea that a 19-year-old girl named Elizabeth was grieving nearby for the opposite reason:

Like a cross to a vampire, traditional masculinity triggers the godless left. Why is this so? (snip) God imbued masculinity to men to protect; build; carry on the species; fight; and, if necessary, defeat evil. Demonizing masculinity, in favor of radically feminizing culture, is withering the United States of America and Western civilization. This coordinated attack on masculinity is not to make us a better nation, as the leftist mantra often claims. Instead, it is a strategy to destroy Western nations like the United States, Canada, and Great Britain by weakening their protectors: masculine men.

Say what? As bad as we expected the Antony Blinken Lecture Tour in Jerusalem to be, even I wouldn’t have predicted that a US Secretary of State would have said this to a country victimized by a massive terror attack that killed 1400 people. That is, if Blinken actually told the Israelis that they don’t have enough “credit” to fight Hamas to the finish. The transcript comes from the Times of Israel, which translated it from a Hebrew transcript leaked to Israel’s Channel 12 News. Could something have gotten lost in translation? Perhaps, but it’s not the only eyebrow-raising part of the exchange, either. It begins with Blinken

Joe Biden has apparently noticed that the price of everything is much higher on his watch than a few years ago. He is now asking sellers to just lower their prices. As a viral commercial once said. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. Companies don’t lower prices just because inflation is politically inconvenient for the president and his party.
