My statement re Prohibiting the Latin Patriarch of entering Church of Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday: While all Holy sites in the Old City are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel Nat'l Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and 3 other priests from entering the Church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach already having major repercussions around the world.  Home Front Command Guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less.  The 4 representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction.  Statements from the Gov't of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were for safety reasons, but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or less.  For the Patriarch to be barred from entry to the Church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the Patriarch to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities.

@CynicalPublius So much truth here

You know, if all those old hippie Democrat white women had not aborted all their babies, they could be spending their Saturdays enjoying their grandchildren instead of protesting imaginary kingdoms.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, signed in 2017, designates March 29 of each year as a day of commemoration to pay tribute to the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families. We honor them at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall.

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

I found this hilarious. May we find unity so that we can fight against the enemy.

Bernie Sanders is a total fraud… 3 homes… House #1 Burlington, VT $700K-$800K House #2 Washington, DC $700K-$800K House #3 Champlain Islands, VT $700K-$800K The millionaire communist. Anyone that still falls for Bernie's act is a sucker. Bernie is the Oligarchy.

@CynicalPublius Yes. Best sci fi movie ever.

Politics and human dignity are not the same thing. The OP does not get that. Bill Shatner does. Thanks for standing up for what is right Bill. (+FWIW, not only is Wrath of Khan the best scifi movie ever made. it's one of the Top Ten movies in ANY genre ever made.)

@DoctorLemma @ChuckRossDC Saw nurses do this nearly 30 years ago with twins for the woman in te same recovery room as me. They settled right down. It was beautiful.

In 1995, a nurse broke hospital rules to place a newborn into her twin sister’s incubator. The baby was not expected to survive. Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born 12 weeks early at a hospital in the United States. Each weighed roughly two pounds. They were placed in separate incubators, standard practice to prevent infection. Kyrie gained strength. Brielle did not. Three weeks after birth, Brielle went into critical condition. Her oxygen dropped. Her heart rate spiked. Her skin turned bluish-grey. Nurse Gayle Kasparian tried everything. She held her. She had her father hold her. She wrapped her in a blanket. Nothing worked. Kasparian remembered hearing about a practice used in parts of Europe but never tried in American hospitals. She placed Brielle into Kyrie’s incubator. Their father described what happened next: “She snuggled up to Kyrie and she was just fine. It was immediate. It was absolutely immediate.” Within minutes, Brielle’s oxygen levels were the best they had been since she was born. As she slept, Kyrie stretched her left arm across her sister’s body and held her. Photographer Chris Christo captured the moment. The image spread around the world and became known as “The Rescuing Hug.” Hospitals across multiple countries began placing premature twins together, a practice that had been resisted for decades. Both girls went home healthy. They are now 30.

@Sachinettiyil Hope you saw the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin while you were in town!

Visiting the Museum of the Bible in DC was a true blessing, with its remarkable collection of artifacts and manuscripts dating back up to 4,000 years that beautifully showcase the ancient roots of the Bible. I highly encourage everyone to visit it at least once to experience this profound journey through the most influential books in human history

@RetroNewsNow If you have eaten a hundred bananas in your life or gotten four bitewing X-rays latelyyou have gotten the same amount of radiation that people got from TMI. 1 millirem above background. You get 300-600 mrem every year just walking around. You can cut the hysterics over TMI now.

On March 28, 1979, a cooling system failure at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led to a partial nuclear meltdown, the worst in U.S. history, releasing small amounts of radioactive gases into the environment and triggering public concern over nuclear safety

I think we need "No Democrats" rallies because they actually exist and are doing the country grave harm.

A #Roman military diploma issued in AD 71 to Marcus Syrus when he left the military after 26 years of service with the marines. He was originally from Jerash (Jordan) but settled in Pompeii in retirement, where he stored his diploma in his bedside alcove

OK I'm kind of stunned how AI can make anything sound like a song. I loaded my pinned post and this spit out. Excuse me please if I'm like a kid with a new toy for just a little bit. ".....sooooooooyyy latte...."🤣

My mom had a 1976 bicentennial commemorative glass Folgers instant coffee jar that we used throughout my childhood. The fact that we’re not seeing that kind of packaging from every consumer brand this year makes me sad.

Does anyone notice with the No Kings rallies that tomorrow is Palm Sunday? Can’t do both, people.

@FrMatthewLC Autism mom approves! Pro tip: don’t go to a round church. You will not win. 😂

Do you think this is a good policy or not?

There is no reason to protest now. Burger King has fired ‘The King.’ 👑 #NoKings marketingdive.com/news/burger-ki…

@ABC Pathetic whiny, welfare-sucking socialist retards screaming 'no kings' while begging Big Government for free shit. You're not a rebel — you're a gutless NPC serf with daddy issues and zero spine. Go lick boots elsewhere, you unwashed participation trophy clowns. 🖕abc

Remember, it takes the electrical capacity of a small city to power a program that poorly mimics human intelligence. God does that in our brain on 20 watts. God is amazing.
