Affreux socio-démocrate

One of the greatest honors of my life was leading the dedication of President Donald J. Trump’s statue to the world. What amazes me is how quickly some people have compared this beautiful statue, created and made possible by more than 6,000 patriots, to a golden calf or idol worship. Let me be very clear. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. The Word of God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3. It also says, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” Matthew 4:10. That is the line. Honor is not worship. Respect is not idolatry. Celebration is not bowing down to a false god. Romans 13:7 says, “Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.” Giving honor where honor is due is biblical. Bowing down and worshipping an idol is sinful. There is a major difference. This statue was not created for worship. It was created as a symbol of resilience, patriotism, courage, and gratitude. It was created to honor a man whom many may disagree with, but millions of Americans believe has done extraordinary things to make this nation stronger. People celebrate athletes, musicians, entertainers, and cultural icons while they are still alive. Michael Jordan has a statue in Chicago. Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Ed Sheeran, and many others have been honored publicly in different ways. Yet Christians were not screaming “golden calf” over those moments. So why now? You may dislike President Trump. That is your choice. But you are in gross error if you think for one second that I worship this magnificent statue or anything made by human hands. Acts 17:24 says, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.” My worship belongs to God. My gratitude can still honor people. My faith is in Christ. My respect for a leader does not replace my reverence for the Lord. Before you judge, condemn, or spread false accusations, use spiritual discernment. 1 John 4:1 says, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.” Some of you know the voice of the Holy Spirit. Listen to that voice before you give room to the devil through lies, slander, and false judgment. Ephesians 4:27 says, “Nor give place to the devil.” We can disagree politically and still tell the truth spiritually. This was not idol worship. This was honor. This was gratitude. This was patriotism. And above all, Jesus Christ is still Lord.

Pope Leo XIV treated to some Neil Diamond as the band of the Pontifical Swiss Guard play Sweet Caroline.

Secretary Rubio left the Vatican following his meetings, which exceeded their scheduled timeframe

Trump says he will raise tariffs on European Union cars and trucks to 25% next week

The EU put the final nail in the coffin of democracy today after it defeated Viktor Orban in Hungary. The authoritarian regime in Brussels froze billions from Orban’s government and promised voters they unfreeze the money if he was defeated. They took the bribe.

I really don't think that Europe would have been even a scintilla less unhelpful to us had Trump acted like a diplomat and statesman instead of...well, how he always acts. I just don't. I get why he is so furious with them. I am, too. They're weak, they try to obstruct everything that we do when we do try diplomacy (looking especially at France), and they are only too happy to take all of the benefits of NATO while doing as little as they can get away with to earn them. And they have reason to be mad at us, too, but guess what: I don't care. We're at war. We have people in combat trying to achieve a result that will benefit the entire civilized world, including especially Europe. We weren't even asking them to fight with us, just let us use their airspace. They had to drop to Trump's level and say no. Everything is stupid.

J’ai voté avec la carte vitale, l’assesseur doutait, j’ai montré le code électoral devant lui je lui ai dit « vérifiez dans le code » Y a un petit manque de compétence chez les assesseurs mdrrrr

L’élection de dimanche peut se jouer à 1 voix. Ne nous y trompons pas : la droite et l’extrême droite mettent toutes leurs forces pour prendre Paris. Les battre, c’est voter pour la liste de la gauche unie avec les écologistes.
