@Cindy_Wooden For those criticizing this, this statement is completely orthodox. Catholics hope and pray that hell is empty in the end but believe it’s a possibility for any individual. It’s God’s will that all should be saved, so of course we should pray/hope His will be done.

@HabitualLinest @Cindy_Wooden I think you’re right it is heresy to say it is definitely empty (universalism) but it is not heresy to hope and pray and hold it as a possibility, a fairly common view. The catechism even says directly that we “pray in hope that all men shall be saved.”

How is it not a civil rights violation for @DukeHealth to actively exclude surgeons based on race? And now they're picking surgeons by holistic "life stories" rather than performance metrics?? Have a feeling an AG @RepDanBishop wouldn't be as friendly to these practices. #ncpol

@HabitualLinest @Cindy_Wooden Do you know what minatory prophesies are? They are a major feature of Jewish prophecy, where Jonah says Nineveh will be destroyed, then it isn’t. They are one possible future, contingent on many things, like our repentance and God’s future mercy.

It's laughable to see vouchers as way for billionaires to send their kids to private school. Tuition for the kids of NC's 4 billionaires would be a tiny drop in the bucket. In reality, vouchers are about giving everyday families a choice. That scares the gov't ed monopoly. #ncpol

@Masihi777 @Cindy_Wooden The entire context is some are assigned honorable positions like Jacob & others like Esau aren't. He says roles of Jews & Gentiles are like this but God allows some to be disobedient only so he can later forgive them. Read as one message & it makes sense.

Word "ban" is being used in interesting ways lately. Banning books is when you don't give explicit content to children & banning abortion, I guess, is passing a 12-week limit w/ exceptions. By same logic, alcohol, driving & other regulated activities are "banned" in NC. #ncpol

Check out the new billboard from @forwardcarolina that went up this week in Wilmington! Republican politicians @RepTedDavisJr and @MichaelLee4NC lied to the people of New Hanover County and broke their promises NOT to touch our abortion laws. NEVER let them live it down. #ncpol

One of the more annoying consequences of the left’s ideological capture of most institutions is this constant appeal-to-authority fallacy, where they pull out an “expert” or an organization for the official word on ethical questions like abortion, sterilizing kids, euthanasia etc

All is well. The demonstrators got bored & have decided to move on. The police are going to close streets so they have a clear path home. So this is just allowed then? Curious if the City of Durham would have tolerated this from conservative activists. Have my doubts... #ncpol

UPDATE: The demonstrators have moved from Hwy 147 and all northbound lanes are now reopened. The demonstrators are now walking near the intersection of Pettigrew and Blackwell Street. Our officers are monitoring the situation and closing streets as they make their way downtown.

This video was so satisfying to watch -- from his challenging every faulty premise before it's established to the casual power move of eating an apple during an interview. After he's done as Canada's next prime minister, he should give media trainings.

Most gerrymandered in US history? Based on legal requirements, like keeping counties whole, about 60% of randomly generated maps delivered a 9-5 map. It'd take a lot more partisan tweaking to create 7-7 you likely want than 10-4 you say is most gerrymandered ever. #ncpol

It’s the most extreme and egregious gerrymandering in American political history. It's the issue Democrats should take to the voters in 2024. #ncpol #ncga

This is why trust of institutions, especially regarding kids, is at about zero. What NC parent wants activists at an overpriced daycare confusing their kids while they're at work with made up gnostic nonsense about finding your true genderself deep inside? #ncpol

@Smile122975 @Cindy_Wooden It’s amusing because of the contrast, that you find peace in God when your vision of Him is someone who tosses us to eternal torment like trash by the millions. Yes I’d be afraid of a God like that for myself but also for everyone else.

@DukeHealth started a gender clinic in 2020, aiming to be a Southern hub in this emerging field, including for youth. With all the recent attention on the issue, I dug into their recent public panels and heard shocking admissions. #ncpol 1/12

California, which had a state travel ban & a Big Tech boycott of NC over our 'bathroom bill,' seeing similar backlash over their law blocking schools from notifying parents of their child's gender transitions. Media coverage and framing will undoubtedly be similar too.

This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.

@brianonorio Well, losing major draws is part of the downward spiral. Losing smaller places like Clyde Cooper's over crime makes a big difference too.

@Gundisalvus Also important to note that the 1619 project is based off a false premise, that America was founded to keep Britain from ending slavery. Most states banned slavery immediately after independence and most framers were anti-slavery. She's been told this but likes her story better

@KnownLoudmouth @MtRushmore2016 @Cindy_Wooden I agree that it's a reference to purgatory. But it may be the great majority that end up there, as Pope Benedict said in Spe Salvi, while only a few are chosen initially.

@KP4NC @triciacotham @Riley_Gaines_ Even if that 15 is accurate, it only takes one to break a record or take a medal from a biological female. Consider what happened in Connecticut when two trans males started racing as girls and won gold and silver and broke records in multiple categories.

@tomselliott @MaraGay The progressive argument that "times have changed" so we need to get rid of free speech/self-defense/gender/etc only works if you agree with them that it's good (or possible) for humanity to move away from our nature and towards a design of our own.

@RHPD8645 Few people were walking around Fayetteville St on a Saturday but many homeless panhandlers. We walked down to City Market area & ate at a sushi restaurant. A man, clearly on drugs, kept trying to talk to us through the window, then came inside to ask for money as we were eating.

The feds backed off the gas stove ban idea. But for #ncpol people, were you aware that we have the lowest percentage use of gas stoves in the nation, with 90% electric? Almost looks like gas stoves are a blue-state thing.

Looks like the ACLU has fired their NC lobbyist, Kristie Puckett-Williams, after controversy over her profane social media rants. Other activists are not happy, including Emancipate NC, who said they will reconsider partnering with the ACLU. #ncpol
