Three questions:
1) Why does Abdul El Sayed visit, speak at, and participate in events at a mosque that is apparently a hotbed for Islamic radicalism?
2) Why are American taxpayers forced to give this jihad mosque $45 million?!
3) Has anyone in the press asked him about this?

Told ya. Gavin Newsom and Bonehead Bonta can continue to lie about vote fraud in CA because they removed every procedure to actually catch the fraud. It's like making a law that banks can't lock the vault, can't have security cameras, and can't count the $
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

I have found the images of the rioting in Paris and other French cities heartbreaking. I spent three wonderful years as a doctoral student in Paris, and I easily recognize many of the neighborhoods and streets that are now in flames.
Though its roots go back to ancient Rome, Paris became a truly great city because of the University of Paris, which grew from the Cathedral school of Notre Dame. For centuries, scholars came from all over Europe to this center of learning where the Western intellectual tradition—born of the confluence of Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome—was defended and developed.
What seems clear is that the arsonists and rioters of the present day represent a farrago of forces inimical to the intellectual and moral values of the West.
I had taken such encouragement from the demonstration of pride in Catholicism and Catholic history that was on display when Pope Leo visited France just a few weeks ago.
May the French people rouse themselves to realize that they stand against a determined enemy and that they have the intellectual and spiritual resources to oppose that foe.

She was Muslim.
She didn’t even know what the Eucharist was.
Then she says Jesus revealed Himself to her in the Blessed Sacrament.
Today, she’s Catholic.
And she says she’ll never leave the Church.
Listen to her testimony. ❤️

Father Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari's last words,
spoken during a livestreamed Mass on October 17, 2026, focused on the transience of life and devotion to God and family.
Minutes before a large wooden crucifix fell from the wall of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Guayaquil, Ecuador, he told the congregation: "One day, all of us here will also die, and sometimes the time we've spent on things doesn't have as much meaning as the time we spend with God".
He continued by urging people to prioritize
"the quality time we give to God, to our brothers and sisters, to our husbands, wives, children, and family - that time is the best spent".
During the sermon he also asked parishioners to put down their phones and devote time to God and loved ones, and he had just begun another prayer asking God to bless those present when the crucifix detached.
The Archdiocese of Guayaquil confirmed Father Sánchez Molinari, 53, died the same day. A Eucharist in his memory was scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, and the circumstances of why the crucifix fell remain under review.
May his gentle soul rest in peace 🕊️

As Secretary Rubio warned in July, we are witnessing the resurgence of FAR-LEFT POLITICAL TERRORISM. Secretary Rubio presciently hosted a Ministerial on this because this threat is transnational and organized in networks that cross borders, share resources, and coordinate violence.
Those who excuse, normalize and legitimize it deserve unequivocal condemnation. If you claim to stand for working people, STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THOSE WHO DESTROY EVERYTHING WORKING PEOPLE HAVE BUILT.
Unlike their apologists, we believe destruction and chaos are NOT legitimate forms of political expression. Arson is not argument. Intimidation is not debate. Terror is not justice. And a campaign to destroy Western civilization is NOT a protest against the price of groceries. Every business burned is someone's life's work destroyed. Every neighborhood terrorized is a community robbed of peace.
Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio, we will never surrender American communities to organized political terror. We will dismantle terrorist networks that threaten our people, disrupt their financing, and bring their perpetrators to justice.
Our streets belong to our citizens. Our future belongs to our children. And this country belongs to the people who built it—not transnational mobs that seek to burn it down.

And neither are Catholics. The difference is we are biblically theologically and historically well studied. Here’s a example of what Christians actually believed and presented to non-believers and that’s what you see in every mass today. If you have intellectual honesty and not a wanted narrative, wallowing, and ignorance and you are truly seeking truth may the Holy Spirit remove the pride and fear that has placed scales on your eyes.

As France is burning, I keep thinking of what the UAE Foreign Minister said a few years ago 👇

- Halloween nació en la Edad Media
- Era una tradición católica
- Se celebraba entre la noche del 1° de Noviembre (Día de Todos los Santos) y el 2° de Noviembre (Día de los Fieles Difuntos)
- Esa noche los pobres (especialmente los niños) salían a pedir alimentos puerta por puerta, y a cambio se ofrecían a rezar por el alma de los seres queridos difuntos de las familias que los ayudaran <- Así nació la tradición de ir puerta a puerta
- Las familias católicas se anticipaban a este día y preparaban alimentos de antemano para darle a quienes fueran a pedirles
- Las familias más acaudaladas preparaban pastelitos dulces (que eran un lujo en esa época) y estos con el tiempo fueron tomando el nombre de "pasteles de alma" <- Así nació la tradición de regalar "dulces"
- Este festejo iba acompañado del encendido de velas para conmemorar a los fallecidos, el tallado de faroles improvisados en verduras disecadas, y el ocasional sonar de las campañas de la iglesia <- Así nació la tradición de las velas y las calabazas talladas
- Esta tradición se mantuvo viva en Europa hasta el siglo XVI, cuando comenzó a desaparecer en algunos lugares por el avance de la Iglesia Protestante, quienes rechazaban la idea de rezar por el alma de los muertos (por no creer en el purgatorio) y quienes prohibieron tocar las campanas de la iglesia por ese motivo
- Más tarde, cerca del año 1900, comenzó a perder su significado original en casi todo el mundo, celebrándose el 31 de Octubre y orientándose cada vez más hacia la brujería, la cultura de la muerte y las prácticas vandálicas como el "dulce o truco"
- Finalmente, entre 1900 y 1980, los medios de comunicación fijaron la estética de terror y el sentido que actualmente tiene esta fecha, haciendo que pierda de manera radical el significado que esta tiene en el inconsciente colectivo
---
Este 1° de Noviembre invito a todos a rezar por el alma de las personas fallecidas y practicar la caridad con aquellos que menos tienen
Quizás algún día podamos recuperar el hermoso significado original que tenía esta fecha y que nunca debió haber perdido
