🚨 JUST NOW: UK PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have ARRIVED to talk about maybe doing something to secure the Strait of Hormuz
Is there anybody more USELESS than these two?
They're endlessly talking while President Trump WENT IT ALONE.
In fact, the Gulf nations did more than our long-term "allies."
LEAVE NATO!

TRUMP CONTRE LÉON XIV : QUAND LE POUVOIR INSULTE LA CONSCIENCE
Comment se fait-il que personne ne s’indigne en France du traitement réservé par Donald Trump au pape Léon XIV ? Ce qui se joue dans les attaques de Donald Trump contre le pape dépasse de beaucoup la simple polémique.
Lorsqu’un président des États-Unis s’en prend au chef de l’Église catholique, lorsqu’il prétend lui dicter ce qu’un pape devrait dire, penser ou taire, il ne révèle pas seulement son emportement vulgaire. Il révèle une tentation plus profonde : celle de soumettre l’autorité spirituelle à la puissance temporelle, la vérité morale à la force politique, la conscience à l’orgueil. Il insulte plus d’un milliard de croyants, mais aussi, au-delà, toute l’humanité, dans son désir de paix, de dialogue et de dignité. Sans doute rêve-t-il d’un monde dans lequel il serait pape et empereur.
L’histoire nous enseigne pourtant une chose simple : les conflits entre les papes et les puissances du siècle ne sont jamais anecdotiques. Ils disent toujours quelque chose d’un désordre plus vaste. Quand le pouvoir se croit tout permis, quand il s’autorise à humilier, à caricaturer, à profaner, c’est qu’il a déjà commencé à perdre le sens de ses propres limites.
Léon XIV ne parle pas en rival de Donald Trump. Il parle à partir d’une exigence plus haute : celle de la paix, de la dignité humaine, de la mesure, du dialogue. Et c’est précisément cela que certains ne supportent plus : qu’il existe encore, face à la brutalité du monde, une parole qui ne se laisse pas intimider. On se souvient de la colère de Donald Trump lorsque l’évêque episcopalienne Mariann Edgar Budde lui a rappelé lors de l’investiture, les limites que la simple humanité impose à un pouvoir qui se veut absolu.
Publier une image de soi en figure christique sur fond de drapeau américain et de soldats en armes, mêler le culte de la force à la symbolique religieuse, tourner en dérision l’autorité du pape : tout cela n’est pas seulement déplacé. Cela dit quelque chose d’inquiétant sur notre temps. Nous voyons monter partout la confusion entre la foi et l’identité, entre la religion et l’appartenance politique, entre le sacré et le spectacle. C’est une pente dangereuse.
Le respect dû au pape est une affaire de civilisation. Car une démocratie digne de ce nom sait qu’il existe des autorités qu’on ne rabaisse pas sans s’abaisser soi-même.
Dans un monde travaillé par la guerre, le ressentiment et la démesure, une civilisation commence à vaciller lorsque le pouvoir ne supporte plus d’être contredit par une parole de conscience.
Citons enfin ce message du Dalaï-Lama, publié le 31 mars dernier en soutien au Pape Léon XIV, et rappelant à tous que l'impératif de tolérance et le refus de toute violence dépassent le cadre du religieux pour devenir un message universel : « En effet, que l’on se tourne vers le christianisme, le bouddhisme, l’islam, l’hindouisme, le judaïsme ou n’importe laquelle des grandes traditions spirituelles du monde, le message est fondamentalement le même : amour, compassion, tolérance et maîtrise de soi. »

Pope Leo cares more about Algerian Muslims than Nigerian Christians.
Donald Trump has far more honor and integrity than Leo does.
Do you agree?

BOMBSHELL leaked Romanian border logs from Bucharest Otopeni Airport (19 Feb 2025) reveal dozens of Ukrainian citizens carrying massive amounts of undocumented cash on flights. Examples from the official customs sheets: • Holban Nadiia – $284,500 USD on TAROM RO261 • Dmytro Gavryliuk – $255,000 USD on RO261 • Natalia & Pavlo Shtokailo – $280k–$284k USD on RO261 • Multiple others on Turkish Airlines TK1040 / TK1044 / TK1046 and Pegasus PC362 carrying $290k–$570k+ USD each. Provenance column? Almost always just “afaceri” (business) or “castiguri” (earnings), absolutely no supporting paperwork visible. Total visible cash in these partial logs easily exceeds $8–10 million USD on just a few days in February 2025. The customs authorities recorded the transit of these sums in official registers, but allowed the individuals to pass without blocking the operations. Exact flight numbers and dates are public record, anyone can cross-check passenger volumes on OTP→IST routes that day. Following the documents’ leak in RTV media, the head of the National Office for the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering (Bogdan Stan) and his deputy were dismissed. According to the sources of RTV media, this organized crime group laundered more than $2 billion in cash in a year through Romania! Coincidentally, the biggest amounts of cash being were transited around the time of the presidential elections in Romania. Keep in mind this was happening a full year before Hungary’s March 2026 investigation, where authorities seized ~$82 million in cash + gold from Ukrainian Oschadbank armored vehicles and opened a money-laundering probe. And the border logs came out 2 months before my videos with direct testimony from a Romanian cash-in-transit worker who has operated large cash transports throughout Romania, Austria, Ukraine. How it worked and how it all ties together: 1. Instead of flying the cash out directly from Ukraine (heavily monitored and logistically difficult), licensed or semi-licensed CIT operators (or even bank-affiliated teams) use armored land convoys to transport the cash across the land border into Romania (or Hungary). 2. Romania shares the largest direct border with Ukraine and there are no border checks done. Once across, the cash is now inside the EU, where movement is easier. 3. Cash is split and flown commercially from Bucharest to Istanbul (exactly as in the Romanian documents) In the Bucharest area, the bulk cash is broken into smaller bundles (typically $250,000–$570,000 per person or small family group). Multiple Ukrainian citizens (often with the same surnames, families or coordinated groups) board cheap, frequent commercial flights from Bucharest Otopeni Airport (OTP) → Istanbul (IST). This is why the combination of CIT convoys + dozens of individuals carrying near-identical large cash sums on the same OTP–IST flights looks coordinated rather than random tourist/business activity.

Why do JD Vance and the Trump administration have such intense and unrelenting hatred toward Ukraine and Ukrainians?
What did Ukraine do to them that makes them hate it so much?

That's only true if our "allies" are real partners, not merely dependents. Europe is turning away from us, and you're so used to freeloading that you can't see it.
Step up and we'll stay. Keep training soldiers with broomsticks and having more admirals than warships - while constantly condescending - and we're out. Casablanca is nicer than Ramstein anyway.
English
NATO is a force multiplier for the United States. Europe is its strategic depth. The US presence in Europe is not an act of charity - it is an investment in America's own security. Turning away from Europe would be a strategic mistake of historic proportions.

The relationship between the President and Vice President of the United States and the Pope is peer-to-peer diplomacy, NOT COMMAND AND CONTROL. The Pope governs theology; political leaders govern nations. Trump and Vance are treading on dangerous territory. BEWARE: This is another indication of the Trump Administration’s version of America driven by Imperialism and Absolutism.

The Bible tells me to support the Children of Israel:
“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
It says nothing about a Pope.
The first Pope was Siricius (384–399 AD).
So we went 320 years after Peter's death during the most formative time in the Christian church with NO Vicar of Christ (Christ's representative/deputy on earth)?
If the Pope is so important, then how did the early Christian church survive 320 years without one?
Sorry but for me, the Pope doesn't "stand in the place of Christ."
Jesus does that just fine all by himself.

Because Trump is a Malignant Narcissist and Vance is his 'Renfield' (Dracula's willing human slave).
In the 2020 election Trump personally asked Zelenskyy to 'investigate' Joe Biden's activities in Ukraine and provide him with campaign 'dirt' to use. Zelenskyy refused saying he didn't want ti interfere in American elections.
Ever since Trump has hated Zelenskyy and done everything he could to sabotage him. Malignant Narcissists never forget and never forgive.

Et pour les banques Vaticanes et l'emmense richesse du Vatican ??
Le Vatican (Saint-Siège) est un État souverain reconnu internationalement, mais il n'est pas membre de l'ONU. Depuis 1964, il dispose du statut d'« État observateur permanent non-membre », ce qui lui permet de participer aux débats et d'avoir une voix diplomatique, mais sans droit de vote à l'Assemblée générale...

Le vice-président américain a exhorté lundi le Vatican à «s’en tenir aux questions morales», après que le pape Léon XIV a dit ne pas avoir «peur» de l’administration américaine.→l.lefigaro.fr/VtuU
