    I can attest to this. Homeschooling set me so far back that I started college at 16 and had completed two masters degrees by 23. Didn’t start my first company until 29. I hope an entire generation of children gets “set back” like I was by homeschooling. 🕺 PS THANKS MOM & DAD!

    This is happening everywhere in DC. Media won’t cover it.

    I feel sorry for every person who liked this, and most of all for the little person who will never see it.

    If Andrew Cuomo remains a "Catholic in good standing" after signing this abortion bill then the Church's institutional witness to life simply has zero teeth and the US bishops have completely abdicated their responsibilities as shepherd of souls. No other way to square it, folks.

    Today is my brother Robert’s birthday. It’s my last chance to give him a birthday gift because he’s entering a life of poverty with the Dominican Friars, so for every RT of this tweet I’m donating 25 cents to his student loan fundraiser — up to 1,000 RTs!

    Dear good priests and bishops: we respect and admire you continuing in your ministry despite everything that’s going on. We know you’re hurting. You are heroes and can count on our prayers and support. Keep the faith. Your heavenly Father sees you. We will never desert you!

    Replying to @tedlieu and @USCCB
    Since when do you get to tell the Church what to do?

    72 days since McCarrick resigned. 55 days since PA grand jury report. 47 days since first Vigano letter. — McCarrick is still an Archbishop. Wuerl is still Card Abp of DC. No Vatican response to Vigano. Pope and his surrogates attacking Vigano. — Is this what reform looks like?

    Tidings of great joy: hundreds of generous Catholics have helped my brother Robert pay off $35K in student loans in 18 days so he is now free to accept his invitation to become a Dominican friar! On behalf of my grateful brother, family & myself, THANK YOU! God bless you all!! 🙏

    Tell me again, liberal Catholics, how you support a party that questions the legitimacy of a practicing Catholic to serve on a court, takes nuns to court for not covering contraception, unapologetically supports abortion on demand, and winks at the vandalism of churches?

    I have over 27K followers but barely any likes/RTs. I used to go viral frequently. I don't miss it/care. I also know shadowbanning is a thing? I also doubt anyone cares enough to deplatform me. So, change in algorithm? Like if you see this and help me test - thanks!

    The man approached Catholic school boys wearing MAGA hats. Kept going until one boy stood his ground. The man’s friends mocked the boys’ friends with foul language. The boys didn’t taunt. For every person who watches the full video, 1 million will see the false MSM narrative.
