jesus christ

Today a bunch of Roman Catholics are losing their minds over a 2-year-old AI photo (or the latest Trump AI Jesus/Pope version making rounds). Let me remind everyone of a few things that should have triggered real, sustained outrage but somehow didn’t get the same energy: The clerical sexual abuse scandal — ongoing since at least the 1980s. Thousands of minors (mostly boys) abused by priests, bishops, and religious orders across the world. Billions in payouts, dioceses declaring bankruptcy, shattered lives, and a massive loss of trust. -Vatican financial scandals and corruption — money laundering allegations through the Vatican Bank, shady real estate deals, and internal leaks that keep surfacing. -Institutional abuse in Church-run facilities: Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland, and cases involving nuns and adults. The Church has admitted wrongdoing in many cases, paid reparations, and put safeguards in place. But transparency and full accountability still lag, according to victims’ groups. Selective outrage is a hell of a thing. An AI image gets people fired up while systemic failures that destroyed real lives get memory-holed. Critical thinking check: Where’s the consistent standard?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump posts image portraying himself as Jesus Christ.

Trump says gas prices could be lower by the midterms — “or maybe a little higher.”

TRUMP: “Pope Leo is WEAK on crime, and terrible for foreign policy.”

Forty days of panic by everyone in the shipping industry and the vast majority of media and academic military “experts”, and for what? The experts said the Navy was scared to enter Hormuz. They called prudence weakness and restraint failure. They reiterated and published freak outs from social media. They were wrong. Two U.S. destroyers just made four transits through the Strait. So much for the hysteria and all the hand-wringing about American decline. And the stories I’m hearing from the 🇺🇸 sailors at sea is one filled with real heroism. Yes, the US Navy has real problems. Yes, our Merchant Marine does too. Yes, Congress can’t even pass the SHIPs act. Yes, mistakes were made. Yes the process of clearing the mines will take time. Yes we are still a long way from normality. But our overwhelming advantage over every other Navy on Earth is the BIG story. Here. No other Navy could have accomplished this with so few casualties. None. To the over the top media and hyperbolic Europeans and all the doomers: shame on you. And to Beijing: recalculate. Bravo Zulu to Admiral Cooper and the joint force and every American serviceman in the Middle East. We have a long way to go but this ship is making way in the right direction.

I'd love to hear her husbands side of the story...
