Ecumeniştii îşi vădesc dispreţul faţă de succesiunea apostolică, şi în particular faţă de taina preoţiei Preotesele din vremurile moderne, înnebunite de mândrie, pretind în mod blasfemiator să slujească liturghia şi să aducă sfintele taine. Ce spectacol îngrozitor! 👉 c.aparatorul.md/q68y1 👈 #învăţăturiiapostolice #Adam #Apostolul #Biserică #conferinţăfeministă #ConsiliuluiMondialAlBisericilor #Decădereafemeilor #decăderiiduhovniceşti #Dumnezeu #Eva #femin...

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (derived from "In the Garden of Eden") is a song recorded by #IronButterfly, written by band member #DougIngle and released on their 1968 album of the same name. At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The #lyrics, a love song from the biblical #Adam to his mate #Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end. The middle of the song features a two-and-a-half-minute #RonBushy drum solo.

“Shockat Adam isn’t just the optometrist who helped to free Leicester from Jon Ashworth. He’s also been a consistent opponent of Israeli war crimes and prime minister Keir Starmer’s elitist government”

Sen. #Adam #Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday blasted President Donald Trump for his decision to fire 18 inspectors general late Friday night and accused the president of breaking the law.
“To write off this clear violation of law by saying, ‘Well,’ that ‘technically, he broke law.’
-- Yeah, he broke the law,” Schiff told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
His comment was responding to Sen. #Lindsey #Graham, R-S.C., who earlier in the program told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker that
-- “technically, yeah,” Trump had violated the #Inspector #General #Act, which Congress amended to strengthen protections from undue termination for inspectors general.
“I’m not, you know, losing a whole lot of sleep that he wants to change the personnel out. I just want to make sure that he gets off to a good start,” Graham added

NBC News · Sen. Adam Schiff says Trump 'broke the law' by firing 18 inspectors generalBy Alexandra Marquez

Pamela Hemphill,
a grandmother in her seventies who was jailed for taking part in the attempted insurrection at the US Capitol four years ago,
has said 🔥 she will “refuse” a pardon from President-elect Donald Trump once he takes office.

A retired substance abuse counsellor from Boise, Idaho, who was being treated for breast cancer at the time of the riot,
Hemphill was spotted pushing past police lines three times when the attack was underway
and was later seen inside its rotunda telling fellow members of the mob:
“Come on in, come on, have fun… This is your house!”

Hemphill – who filmed her actions, posted the footage on Facebook and became known as the “#MAGA #Granny”, only to later break with Trump’s movement
– has said she wants no part of the 47th president’s clemency outreach.

⭐️“I’m not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore, as those who went as far as calling my Probation Officer trying to get me in trouble backfired on them, thinking I would stop speaking out, just give me more confidence to continue!”
she wrote on X on Sunday.

“I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!”

Hemphill was responding to a post by former Republican congressman #Adam #Kinzinger, who served on the bipartisan House committee that investigated the riot
and has likewise said he would reject a presidential pardon from Biden to shield him from retaliatory measures by Trump’s FBI or Justice Department.

Yahoo News · Jan 6 rioter Pamela Hemphill says she will refuse Trump’s pardonBy Joe Sommerlad

Within a couple of minutes, I knew
👉“The Last Republican”
(in theaters)
would be different.
That’s in part because #Adam #Kinzinger himself is a different kind of subject.

He gave a long interview to Pink in what appears to be his mostly emptied office just before he left the House of Representatives.

He’d been one of a handful of Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching Donald Trump in 2021
(after speaking against his first impeachment in 2019),
then served alongside Democrats and fellow Republican Liz Cheney on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Needless to say, he was not popular in his party,
especially as other Republicans who had opposed Trump began to change their views.

The documentary spends most of its time letting Kinzinger explain why he feels as he feels and did what he did,
and why he’d do (most of) it again.

In late 2021, he announced he would not run for re-election
(a new congressional map had eliminated his district),
and a few months later his party voted to censure him.

At one point in the movie, the House minority leader at the time, Kevin McCarthy, refers to Kinzinger and Cheney as “Pelosi Republicans.”

Kinzinger reserves his most passionate anger in “The Last Republican” for McCarthy,
whom he sees as weak and traitorous for changing his behavior toward Trump.

But Kinzinger is as frustrated with his party as he is steadfast in his conservative Christian convictions,
pro-military views and socially traditional beliefs.
Now, without occupying an elected position, he feels comfortable letting loose.

That turns out to be why the movie works.
Pink is on the political left;
when Kinzinger half-jokingly dubs him “basically a Communist” near the film’s start, Pink corrects him.

“Progressive,” he says, and they carry on.
They talk about why Kinzinger chose to allow Pink to follow him and his staff through their final months in Congress,
which boils down to a hilarious fact:
Pink directed the 2010 comedy
“Hot Tub Time Machine,”
which Kinzinger declares a “cinematic masterpiece.”

There’s clearly some shared sensibility between the two men even if,
as they both freely admit,
they have no respect for each other’s beliefs.

More than Kinzinger’s story,
this is why “The Last Republican” is worth watching.
At times it seems like exhortations to “reach across the aisle” and “heal political divisions” have become platitudes, clichés without any firm ideas about how that might be accomplished.
But the combative camaraderie that Pink and Kinzinger demonstrate respects both of them as humans
— without softening their stances one bit.
I hope to see more films like this one in the years to come.
