If you admire Archbishop Lefebvre as I once fervently did, look into the life of Saint Mark of Ephesus.
Both men stood against false councils.
Both refused compromise with heresy.
Both clung to the tradition that was handed to them.
Yet only one is called Saint.

Russia has won the war. The Western gambit to use Ukraine as a battering ram to defeat Russia has failed. Trump’s belated shuttle diplomacy is just window dressing to distract from the growing realization that Russia has achieved a historic victory over NATO and its proxy army.
NATO’s threat to Russia will no longer be tolerated. Russia has successfully fought off sanctions and the combined forces of NATO, as the Europeans squandered billions supporting Zelensky’s military regime. And Russia has taken back Novorossiya, the four Eastern oblasts that Lenin extrajudicially incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Republic.
Sooner or later, for the sake of their economies, the Europeans will have to come to terms with Russia and resume normal, mutually beneficial relations. After many years of zero diplomacy, the Finnish and Norwegian leaders initiated a call to Putin - possibly heralding a new era of peace in Europe.

If Thailand can destroy a monkey statue. We can, here in Texas.

White people pay 70-75% of taxes in the U.S.
Black people pay 6-8%.
50% of black households pay no federal income tax at all.
Black people are also on welfare at a much higher rate than white people. White people are literally subsidizing black people while black people complain about systemic racism and white privilege and commit crime at a much higher rate.

When someone who is not Orthodox comes to the Orthodox Church he must go through a furnace of repentance, of change and regeneration of his entire way of thinking and living. This will take a long time. In order for someone’s positive attitude towards Orthodoxy to become an experience of his heart, he must lead a life of asceticism and crucifixion for many years under the guidance of an experienced spiritual father. Otherwise the ‘old self’ will remain, with the result that unbelief and the inclination to go back to the old way of life will often occur.

I am very proud of how the Orthodox community has responded to the anti-American, anti-White, and anti-Nationalist rhetoric that has begun to spread like cancer. No more. It’s ok to love America and be Orthodox. It’s ok to honor your White ancestry and be Orthodox. And it’s MORE THAN OK to be a Nationalist and Orthodox.
America will be holy, and ladies and gentlemen it’s you and me that get to be part of that! Don’t throw away your inheritance. Embrace it.

NATO bombed Serbian tobacco factories in 1999.
Sounds strange. Why bomb tobacco? Not military targets. Not critical infrastructure. Just factories making cigarettes.
Then Philip Morris showed up. Rebuilt those same facilities. Modernized the equipment. Brought them up to international production standards.
Today you can buy cigarettes made in Serbia under Philip Morris brands in Australia, Europe, everywhere. Serbia became a major exporter.
So let's think about this. NATO bombs the factories. Philip Morris rebuilds them and profits from the production capacity.
Who benefited from that bombing?
Same pattern with Microsoft. Right after the bombing stopped, big Microsoft headquarters opens in Belgrade city center. I remember walking past that building and seeing their logo up there. Didn't take long.
The bombing was illegal under international law. That's not opinion. No UN Security Council approval. Violated the NATO charter itself. But they did it anyway.
Then Western corporations moved in while the rubble was still being cleared.
I lived through it. I watched it happen. And 25 years later I'm still asking the same question: who were they really fighting for?

Indians are far & away the worst tenants- from the necessary monthly calls to collect rent, haggling over stuff like light bulbs, the general destruction of property… just don’t do it. Not worth the time and frustration. Better to let your place sit empty until someone else comes along
In my opinion, this is a necessary book for Catechists. Its a easy read, dispels modern Ecumenist notions, and exposes Catechumens to a great American saint.
Our priest recommends it to all of the converts coming from Catholicism.
History repeats itself: Catholicism has another Pope Leo: Leo XIV; who seeks to bring Orthodoxy into communion with Rome.
📖 We’re excited to announce that 'Union with Rome?' by St. Raphael of Brooklyn will be on sale June 19th from Uncut Mountain Press!
'Union with Rome?' is a short but timeless treatise. Its value lies in revealing how the Truth of our Faith remains the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). While today, when certain Orthodox representatives embrace an “ecumenism of reconciliation” and not return of the Papacy, St. Raphael’s response re-presents the diachronic and saving call to repentance. The reader will be struck by how timeless and truly restorative his “word” is for our day.

Thousands of Jordanians attend the funeral of the nine Orthodox Christian martyrs killed in Jordan on Friday.
Looks like there was a strong state security presence there.
May their memories be eternal.
