“Christian women don’t head-cover.”. I stare at him in Appalachian Granny …
@TuckerCarlson If she is a Christian, why the hair covering?.It seems to me that you’ve been duped.

Maybe this is a controversial opinion but people who live like this should have some sort of guardianship over them. They shouldn’t be allowed on their own. This is severe mental illness.

It’s so weird to see Tucker’s Mother Agapia interview blow up online and see so many people lie about her and slander her while I’m scrolling like, I’ve literally met her. Received her blessing. She’s delightful. These people talking garbage have never even spoken to her.

This weird stereotype won’t die. Incest is not common in the South at all. There’s no way an Italian man constantly came across married cousins while journeying through the area. But would he ever call out the areas where they actually do marry their relatives? Doubtful.

Cozy posting, Gen X/ Xillennnial addition. My collection of The Baby-Sitters Club books. The series, the super editions, the mystery editions, Little Sister spin off, and then our double copies most of which have been read-to-death by my oldest daughter. 😂

Tucker Carlson’s interview with a sweet, humble Orthodox nun yesterday really brought out the demons. They are absolutely ranting and sputtering hysterically. Take note.

If you’re interested in the REAL story of Charlottesville, read “Charlottesville Untold” by Ann Wilson.
amazon.com
Today is the 8-year anniversary of the Charlottesville torch march. Eight years ago you were an extremist if you protested being replaced by immigrants. Your life was over if you talked about stopping or reversing it. Now it is official @WhiteHouse policy. Never give up.

When Kathy Lee Gifford (a Christian woman) had a miscarriage, Howard Stern mocked her and joked about her dead baby being in the toilet. He’s evil. The fact that he’s had a successful career is a tragedy.

Why aren’t we bringing Middle Eastern and African Christians to America in huge quantities? They’re actually under threat. In my entire life I’ve met two Christian Lebanese families but I’ve met hundreds of Middle Eastern and African Muslims in the US.

Tucker Carlson is currently interviewing an Orthodox nun (I’ve actually met her before!) She lives in Palestine. Hear first hand what it’s like to live there.
