chrysostom, you'll be glad to know Pope Leo's first appointed bishop shares his concern for immigrants.
Thanks for remembering. It's hard to forget you all.
My doctor wants to replace my heart valve. I said no thanks.
Started doing the dailyprompt on WordPress. Love it.

chrys, I read this deep dive on Peter Thiel's views of the antichrist this morning. It's bizarre, it's revelatory, and not a little disturbing. You'd probably tell me it was too long, but maybe you'll surprise me. I do see it reflected in the larger problem of politics become irretrievable from religion for a large group of U.S. Christians but I don't think it's across the board. Certainly far less so among Catholics. A lot of thought-provoking ideas covered, it's been on my mind all day.
The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

Interesting article.
From it: “ “the totalitarian dangers of a unified world,” ”
That's fake.
“ The Holocaust paved the way for the United Nations. His katechon had been an Antichrist all along. ”
Leftists probably don't recognize how much of a hero the Axis were in the lead up to and during World War Two. They were the first significant decolonizers. They aggressively disrupted the colonial system all over the World.
“ creating systems that permit violence against scapegoats ”
There's no way you can avoid this. Even if it happens extra-judicially, it's going to happen. "Cooler heads, Boys," Lahey says. Cooler heads are our only hope.
“ that very long and profitable period of intellectual slumber and amnesia that is so misleadingly called the Enlightenment ”
That's real. I call it our descent into pre-Christianity. "Pre-" because there's no "post-", "post-Christian" is a myth—fake and guay.
“ The West, with its fetish for individual rights ”
Mischaracterization. The right to free religion does not mean the fundamental values, norms and mores and morals, are up for debate. Neither John Locke nor the American framers ever thought that. We are Christians in our politics. We are Christian in our statecraft. Whether Protestant or Catholic, we all agreed on that.
“ “A direct path forward is prevented by America’s constitutional machinery,” Thiel said. ”
What a testament to our Constitiution. Round of applause. I mean this is an awards show for our founders and especially our framers. Imagine the demonic warfare attacking rn other dominatingly Christian countries rn. England, Germany, Spain. There's like NO safety, NO freedom of speech. We've got our problems, here in America, but we've got our safety (except for criminals we are quite safe) and our free speech (we can even say gay retarded faggoty niggers here, and it doesn't matter—because we're Americans, and this is America, and .. you know .. ubar word .. your fake and guay statecraft—you can say skubalon like this if you want to, as long as it's not a crime—which means to say, i.e., viz., threats, menacing, and intimidation—in fact, assault, in some jurisdictions, is the credible threat of violent crime—it doesn't have to BE violent crime, to be ASSAULT (which IS a crime, punishable by JAIL), in some jurisdictions).
Gotta say at this point, gotta disagree, with Shayne 1 Smith. At Gmail. Dot-com. Mexicans are not closer to us than Canadians. Canadaians descend from the English, and some from the French. We are much more closely related in our politics to Canadians than we are to Mexico. I just have to make this public. We should annex Canada way before we should annex Mexico. Mexico is a quasi-narco state lol. You don't tolerate that, and idk what would possess you to. You have to kill the bugs!
“ cigarettes ... . The Girardians ”
Can't be too bad if they like to smoke, something I also say about the Chinese.
“ Several [ Girardians ] noted how disturbed they’d been to see a recent illustration, which accompanied a story in the Financial Times, of a smirking carved bust of Girard wearing a bright red MAGA hat. ”
The Financial Times, like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, USED TO BE a newspaper of record. Nowadays unfortunately conservative punditry, can be of equal or even of greater reliability and trustworthiness, to report on the bare facts of the news (and their immediate, obv implications and entailments—which is where these newspapers have fallen down, it is in their partisan narrative building, where they selectively delete certain inconvenient implications and entailments—for instance, today, their journalistic, biased crime, is in neglecting to say that the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Charlie Kirk's successful assassination in Utah on September 10, constitute a named storm of political violence, and namely, one coming outta the Left—they all should be echoing what only conservative voices have been saying, if they were all truly newspapers of record, rather than mere tentacles of a political party octupus—there is a serious problem with Leftist or Left Wing political violence rn—but they don't).
“ Palaver says [ ... ] Ultimately, Thiel needs to choose who he is going to imitate. “In the end, you have to decide: Are you really going to be a Christian in a proper sense? Or are you [a "post-Christian"]?” ”
He said “ Schmittian ”, but like I said, there's only two things—pre-Christian, and Christian. There's no post-Christian, and there's nothing else either. Every iteration of non-Christian society and statecraft is pre-Christian. Once Christianity does its thing, statecraft and society (and politics, including public discourse) become Christian, which means Western, and modern, and free. We are the future. You are the past.
Thiel's biggest problem rn is ofc that Vance is not a big enough dog, and Charlie Kirk is dead. He has no bullpen rn, he needs another champion, another gladiator, and he doesn't have anyone. Besides Kirk's wife and kids and family, there was nobody more disappointed than Peter Thiel at Charlie Kirk's killing. He got his legs taken out from under him.

That's my claim anyway. I don't see any reason we can't have one nation under God. The United States Constitution has gotten us not only through the most perilous storms, but we're in the lead. Like we came from outta nowhere. And we're in the lead. We're actually basically LAPPING everybody. So our Constitution (alone) could do it. I don't see any reason it couldn't.
But that's aside. Even if that's not true, OK, fine: but that means we're just back to Colonialism's logic, which is clearly what's going on in Ukraine rn. And I don't mean on the part of the Russians, they are merely attempting to annex by force a sovereign nation lol. That's not Colonialism. It's what the AMERICANS are doing rn in Ukraine that is Colonialism—WE are attempting to secure a pipeline of raw materials from Ukraine to the US, an EXCLUSIVE MONOPOLY lol. THAT is Colonialism. The US is trying to save Ukraine from Russia, by COLONIZING Ukraine lol.
By establishing a right to be there, supervising the extraction of raw materials from Ukrainian soil and its transport to America, America is attempting to COLONIZE Ukraine, because that's .. what colonization, means. They have something you want. They don't have ANYTHING ELSE, but they do have this ONE THING, so you COLONIZE them to SECURE a SUPPLY of THAT THING. THAT'S COLONIZATION.
What Russia's doing is a violent attempt at annexation (which is, btw, NOT AT ALL what President Trump is ever proposing when he invites Canadians to UNITE with us Americans—we are NOT attempting to colonize Canada, we want to ANNEX CANADA, PEACEFULLY and VOLUNTARILY—QUITE UNLIKE what Russia's trying to do .. in Ukraine). We are not the same

It's also something I say about King Kim Jong Un. Can't be all bad if he likes to smoke. Must be some way to reason with him. Maybe we annex them—that'd teach em!
This would have been one of the keys to the post, in hindsight. The political violence problem rn in America, while it does not rise to the level of civil war or just everyday life in Africa (same thing), is definitely statistically real. The uptick is real. The P-value is below 0.05. It's definitely statistically higher.
This is the most important part of the whole article (if you didn't read it), which I didn't quote, because I wanted to see if Mme. Anna would say anything about it on her own (but she did not):
“ A few moments later, someone in the audience stood and offered a correction. “It’s not true what you said about Girard,” a man’s voice said.
“ Thiel—who often has a tendency to stonewall or steamroll his interlocutors—squinted in the speaker’s direction, trying to determine exactly who was pushing back. The voice had the rounded vowels and soft Rs of a recognizably Austrian accent and conveyed a quiet, familiar authority. “On many occasions,” the speaker went on, “young people asked Girard, ‘What should we do?’ And Girard told them to go to church.” ”
idk what it is with Thiel and Musk—it's like they made a deal with the Devil over there at PayPal. Did you know they were partners—I didn't.

“ "Glory to God in the highest" in Latin is expressed as "Gloria in excelsis Deo." This phrase is commonly used in Christian liturgy and hymns. ”
Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace to people of good will. We praise You, we bless You, we adore You, we glorify You—we give You THANKS for Your great glory. Lord God, Heavenly King, oh God Almighty Father.

Today's reading:
They're obliged to just go to church. It's not about YOU lol iow. idk anything else about "Girard", but he's right about that. Just go to church. Go to Mass. Satisfy your obligations. We are unprofitable servants. It's not about us.

This is just true. PhD brainlets would use coarse language as an excuse to disengage and avoid the discourse at TOL. They're lightweights, as Sozo used to call em. Discourse is more than just pleasant polite language, you have to hammer home your point, otherwise nobody's ever going to change their opinion, and if nobody's ever going to change their opinion, then why even do this? PhDs just want you to take their word for it, "Trust me bro."
lol why. A trend on podcasts now is publicly critiquing PhDs's dissertations, some of them not only make you question the PhD—it makes you question the PhDs who decided that they deserved a PhD. It's a whole legacy of fraud and unserious scholarship. Just blowhards with an opinion and an ideological ax to grind. No reason to believe em over your car mechanic or accountant, when they're talking about cultural or moral matters. Your view's as good as mine in that situation.

Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi te of the Holy Father Leo XIV on Love for the Poor (4 October 2025)
APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION DILEXI TE OF THE HOLY FATHER LEO XIV TO ALL CHRISTIANS ON LOVE FOR THE POOR [ Multimedia ] _____________________
"Growing up in precarious circumstances, learning to survive in the most adverse conditions, trusting in God with the assurance that no one else takes them seriously, and helping one another in the darkest moments, the poor have learned many things that they keep hidden in their hearts. Those of us who have not had similar experiences of living this way certainly have much to gain from the source of wisdom that is the experience of the poor."
Hi Anna,
Thank you for inviting me to read that. It is too long but I read it just for you.
A lot about the antichrist and the "reign of" which is all history.
Here is my short version:
Christ who suffered and died for us has about 2 billion followers.
Mohammed who is anti Christ is the rider of the red horse and he has about 2 billion followers.
Marx is the rider of the black horse and also has about 2 billion followers
Constantine is the rider of the white horse and the origin of the one thousand year reign with Christ.
Everyone else is a bit player.
The rider of the pale horse is in Ukraine.
Islam, the beast with ten horns, replaced Rome, the beast with seven heads, defeated by Constantine.
This is all you need to know to make sense of what we have today.
