This Chicago pope is the dirty spawn of the fake pope, Francis, who stole his papacy from Benedict.

He meets with David Axelrod last week, and promptly starts attacking PDJT.

Meanwhile, after Iran slaughters 45,000 protestors, not a word.

A hypocrite. The Chicago pope.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”
― John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy

Pope Leo is Deep Church, just like Pope Commie before him. He advocates for Nuclear Blackmail and the continued slavery of the Iranian People from the safety of his palace walls, built, incidentally, to stop Islamic invaders by Catholics who thought the Kingdom of Jesus and the Rights of Man were worth fighting for.

“They preach that if you see a man flogging a woman to death you must not hit him. I would much sooner let a leper come near a little boy than a man who preached such a thing.”–G.K. Chesterton

Pope Leo is acting political. Unregenerate man cannot be ruled by the principles of the Sermon on the Mount. That is why the Apostle Paul says that the governments of man exist to protect the good and punish the evil. Romans 13:3

I also love when Popes weigh in on American border and immigration policy, from behind the vatican walls guarded by armed members of the Swiss Guard. Remember where the pejorative verb “pontificate” comes from.

Strange, I never heard a peep from the good bishop during the Covid lockout of Catholic churches. He takes the easy routes.

Yes, he should stay in his lane, but he won’t and should be fired, recalled, or whatever is done to get rid of evil, leftist popes.

I’m so disgusted with the leadership of the RCC

Does the Pope think good men should do nothing against evil?

I don’t have much affection for the current Pope (who blesses blocks of ice, and puts Islamic prayer rooms in the Vatican).

But, that being said i have never been affected much when religious leaders and government leaders diverge. In fact, I much respect and understand it.

An elected leader has to deal with the physical threats and nasty realities of the world with an allegiance and responsibility to the survival and flourishment of his/her people. This can also, of course, include spiritual elements (prayer, kindness, righteous behavior, etc). However, the main function is in the physical world.

Religious leaders are expected to function primarily in the spiritual world. Yes, to encourage good behavior, but mostly to save souls who are temporarily lost to God. Those close to God bring goodness and light to the world.

They are in different places. I think both are blessed by God in different ways.

The true religious leaders represent the spiritual ideal. The best political leaders may serve the means to get there. They are opposites, but go hand in hand.

A couple of things: clean up the pedophiles within your ranks and come clean about aiding and assisting the Nazis’ escape from Germany, just saying.

Trump won’t do it, but I’d love to hear him start talking about human trafficking with the Catholic Church front and center. The abuse and trafficking have never been dealt with.

I won’t poke the pope since I’m not of his religion.

Ever since Catholic Charities (Lutheran, Jewish..) refugee services decided to go rogue by trafficking criminals and Muslims into Christian countries, they’ve lost complete credibility. The pope can go fly a kite!

This Iranian Regime murdered 4o-50 thousands of their own citizens. They were working on an atomic bomb. Why would the Pope think Trump’s attack was somehow immoral? He should read the Bible.

…But even the great Rush missed these cues or did he do as he was told? In 1992-4, Rush referred to Newt Gingrich affectionately as Mr. Newt, I believe he even guest hosted the show a couple of times.

I supported Newt as well, he was our congressman for a time. His Special-Order speeches were awesome on C-Span. But passing NAFTA belied everything he said in his SO speeches and by 1994 had quelled the Perot uprising, the uniparty was back on track, our demise.

Well folks, to punctuate the story, “that giant sucking sound” is exactly what happened, it was terrible, I know, I directly experienced it. First large, then small and medium manufacturers were vaporized after 1994. Our company lasted longer than many, 9-11-2001 finished us off.

In this case Rush was 100% wrong; but he toed the company line and helped destroy Ross Perot…What if? This is analogous to the podcasters of today.

To be clear, I love Rush and miss his show everyday M-F 12-3PM. But he was connected to the machine, the Bush team, you know Cheney, he’d called “a rock-ribbed conservative” and then fast forward, Rush (RIP) had passed, the Cheney/Bush clans supported Harris in 2024.

With the current podcast pundit kerfuffle boiling over. We must remember podcasters are an extension of the enemy MSM, in fact many are working for FOX and the Murdochs, see CTH article 4/11 and are loyal to their bottom line.

They have advertisers and a telephone, you know, the calls come in “get your head right Tucker/Megan, when we get rid of Trump in 2026-28 we might have a prime-time slot for you.”    

I was watching politics then. Perot was not that great of a candidate. His VP pick was awful and not a good connect to the population. Story goes he dropped because his daughters personal life was going to be made public. EDS sucked millions off the government. His company was not the best to work for. Long hours and under paid. GM then HP. CSC merge with them to become DXC.

Ross was a good guy but not a master tech genius in my book. Hard working. Still he did not impress me. He did have balls enough to get people out of Iran.

I remember all that as you do: Perot did not look like a “chastened” man, but a “frightened” one. He also as much as said he didn’t really want the job, just felt it was important that he jump in to get people thinking. He really didn’t campaign after that.

thanks for the heads up, RTS –

PDJT deleted the post this morning, according to numerous reports.

Let’s move on.

Actually, we’re ALL supposed to look that way and lay hands upon the sick. In his simple faith, our President acknowledged that.

John 14:12

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.

Lord, save us from religion!

ps; In case you didn’t notice, Saint Donald just got the entire Press Corpse to proclaim the Holiness of Jesus Christ.

heh heh

Deleted…wrong thread

OK. So, what is “the light” emanating from his hands? And the images of soldiers in the sky emerging from the light? And his clothing – something from Jesus’ day that He may have worn?

This image is VERY EASY to misinterpret.

As a Christian person I am deeply offended by that picture. I also think it was blasphemous mocking Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Trump should apologize.

Trump needs to cool it with posting text messages on truth social. It’s a daily thing and getting tiresome. He doesn’t know when to shut the hell up.

Ursula von der Leyen saying the EU should drop unanimous voting and switch to qualified majority voting, using Hungary’s recent election as the reason to push it now.

Smaller countries lose their veto powerhttps://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/203c.svg It is negative for smaller countries.

One nation, one vote disappears. A few big players can then steamroll everyone else on sanctions, migration and trade, basically. Anything Brussels wants to push through, they get.

Hungary just showed what happens when a small country keeps saying no. Now they’re trying to make sure no one else can do the same. It is the end of national sovereignty.

The deeper part is the timing. They waited until Orbán actually lost power before making the move.

Now they’re using Hungary’s election as proof that “democracy is winning,” while quietly taking away the very mechanism that let Hungary keep saying no all these years.https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f4ab.svg

Here is NY Time’s Thom Friedman today, gone Full-Establishment War-Pig:

If Putin’s plans A, B and C all fail, though, I fear that he would be a cornered animal and he could opt for plan D — launching either chemical weapons or the first nuclear bomb since Nagasaki. That is a hard sentence to write, and an even worse one to contemplate. But to ignore it as a possibility would be naïve in the extreme.

But HERE is Thom Freidman 25 years ago, singing a very different tune after interviewing George F. Kennan:

New York Times

May 2, 1998

FOREIGN AFFAIRS; NOW A WORD FROM X

by Thomas L. Friedman

His voice is a bit frail now, but the mind, even at age 94, is as sharp as ever. So when I reached George Kennan by phone to get his reaction to the Senate’s ratification of NATO expansion it was no surprise to find that the man who was the architect of America’s successful containment of the Soviet Union and one of the great American statesmen of the 20th century was ready with an answer.

”I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” said Mr. Kennan from his Princeton home. ”I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else. This expansion would make the Founding Fathers of this country turn over in their graves. We have signed up to protect a whole series of countries, even though we have neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. [NATO expansion] was simply a light-hearted action by a Senate that has no real interest in foreign affairs.”

”What bothers me is how superficial and ill informed the whole Senate debate was,” added Mr. Kennan, who was present at the creation of NATO and whose anonymous 1947 article in the journal Foreign Affairs, signed ”X,” defined America’s cold-war containment policy for 40 years. ”I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe. Don’t people understand? Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.

”And Russia’s democracy is as far advanced, if not farther, as any of these countries we’ve just signed up to defend from Russia,” said Mr. Kennan, who joined the State Department in 1926 and was U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1952. ”It shows so little understanding of Russian history and Soviet history. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are — but this is just wrong.”

One only wonders what future historians will say. If we are lucky they will say that NATO expansion to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic simply didn’t matter, because the vacuum it was supposed to fill had already been filled, only the Clinton team couldn’t see it. They will say that the forces of globalization integrating Europe, coupled with the new arms control agreements, proved to be so powerful that Russia, despite NATO expansion, moved ahead with democratization and Westernization, and was gradually drawn into a loosely unified Europe. If we are unlucky they will say, as Mr. Kennan predicts, that NATO expansion set up a situation in which NATO now has to either expand all the way to Russia’s border, triggering a new cold war, or stop expanding after these three new countries and create a new dividing line through Europe.

But there is one thing future historians will surely remark upon, and that is the utter poverty of imagination that characterized U.S. foreign policy in the late 1990’s. They will note that one of the seminal events of this century took place between 1989 and 1992 — the collapse of the Soviet Empire, which had the capability, imperial intentions and ideology to truly threaten the entire free world. Thanks to Western resolve and the courage of Russian democrats, that Soviet Empire collapsed without a shot, spawning a democratic Russia, setting free the former Soviet republics and leading to unprecedented arms control agreements with the U.S.

And what was America’s response? It was to expand the NATO cold-war alliance against Russia and bring it closer to Russia’s borders.

Yes, tell your children, and your children’s children, that you lived in the age of Bill Clinton and William Cohen, the age of Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger, the age of Trent Lott and Joe Lieberman, and you too were present at the creation of the post-cold-war order, when these foreign policy Titans put their heads together and produced . . . a mouse.

We are in the age of midgets. The only good news is that we got here in one piece because there was another age — one of great statesmen who had both imagination and courage.

As he said goodbye to me on the phone, Mr. Kennan added just one more thing: ”This has been my life, and it pains me to see it so screwed up in the end.””…….

Thom Goldilocks wants her porridge ju-uust right! That is, both ways.

Paywall.

We can argue about whether it was dead a year ago.

It sure is dead as a doornail now.

Sure. My doctor always wears robes and lays his hands on me to cure me. I believe Him.

What if Jesus thought it was a compliment for trying to be more like Him?

#JesusGate

Because some stupid meme is so important. We are about to have 2 decisions one by SCOTUS, one by Congress that will determine the fate of our nation for eternity,Birthright Citizenship and The Save America Act — and yet this is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

The press has got to get a clue.
Have they ever read the Bible before asking a ridiculous question.

This is just about the dumbest issue ever presented. The amount of time being wasted on a stupid meme is just mind boggling. So freaking typical of the left, the media and others jumping on the bandwagon again of let’s get Trump, with no idea what they are really looking at, trying to decipher the meaning of a made up picture. It’s just ludicrous this is continuing to run around the internet and blogs using up time and space. It’s a meme. He doesn’t think he’s Jesus. Let it go.

NGO’s are mostly a way for politicians to fund themselves through money laundering.

In fairness, they also use some of the money to overthrow patriotic governments like Orban’s.

Big development — hope Sundance posts his analysis on it.

Common sense, and opponents will betray themselves over it.

Hope they put some conditions on that money, like knowing somehow just how it gets used and accounting for where it actually goes. Not keeping track of monies doled out to NGOs was the problem that caused the amount of fraud and waste to happen with our money in the first place. Think foreign govt will be more ethical and honest unless forced to be?

they’ve tried so hard to come up with the narrative that would neuter ICE and failed. at least the other ones they had some footage that could be debated in the court of public opinion. this isn’t even trying anymore.

If they keep this activity up it will sooner rather than later.

Each move the UK, France and others in NATO make against President Trump, they are actually making against the U.S as a country. Therefore making a move to exit NATO will meet with less and less resistance.

NATO countries siding with the enemy is not an option in my book. It would be then end of a long and expensive coalition.

In 2016 I allowed myself a glimmer of hope that Candidate Trump might actually win the election because of the English win on leaving the EU.

The very very sad thing is that 10 years later Great Britain has still not left the EU, and I read recently that if the US leaves NATO it will necessitate England “rejoining” the EU – as if they ever actually left in reality.

Wrong. He has already won. Now it’s just a matter of squeezing the life out of Iran’s proxies.Oil may remain high for a while, but that is a bargain against what has been accomplished.

I’m certain he’ll heed your advice. s/
He, like everyone else on this planet, is entitled to his opinion, right or wrong, like it or not.

If California voters cannot see this for what it is and stop voting for these people, then the state is lost forever.

AS goes California, so goes the nation…eventually….

Looks like there was always an effort to make investigation of ALL crime illegal.
This is also CA… from nearly a decade ago – 3 guesses: who was in the AG’s office then???

{ https://www.nationalreview.com/news/david-daleidens-charges-fully-expunged-after-he-exposed-planned-parenthoods-sale-of-aborted-fetal-body-parts/ }
… Charges were brought against Daleiden and undercover reporter Sandra Merritt in 2017 after they exposed the sales.
In January 2025, the State of California agreed to a settlement deal with Daleiden and Merritt.

All charges have now been dropped against Daleiden and Merritt, in exchange for a “no contest” plea for one felony video-recording charge. That charge was eventually converted to a misdemeanor, and the no-contest plea entered as a not guilty plea, and then dismissed and expunged.
The January 2025 deal requires no jail time, fines, admission of wrongdoing, or probation for the pair, who originally had faced the possibility of ten years in prison.

“After enduring 9 years of weaponized political prosecution, putting an end to the lawfare launched by Kamala Harris is a huge victory for my investigative reporting and for the public’s right to know the truth about Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby body parts,” Daleiden said in 2025 at the time of the settlement. “Now we all must get to work to protect families and infants from the criminal abortion-industrial complex.”

When asked President Trump claimed that the picture represents him as a Doctor? It is my understanding that the picture has since been removed.



Fake news. We’ve all been burned by it. This is not what the image was.
