🇺🇸🇪🇺 MARCO RUBIO: "If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense, we ought to close them down and remove our troops."
A “mini” Irish breakfast. How’s it looking folks?
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.
As Trump says “a whole civilization will die tonight,” JD Vance openly backs him up. “We’ve got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use,” he threatens.
The best decision I made was nearly 10 years ago this year: and that was to become a Roman Catholic. Today, perhaps more than ever, I’m grateful for the moral witness of the Church and her Magisterium, embodied in our living principle of unity — the Holy Father.
Important change happening in Portugal! It seems that the Jewish community of Porto is the first organized community to explicitly commit to stigmatizing antizionism. "Friedman states that “if we are searching for a term that captures hostility toward Jews and anti-Zionists insist that their animus is directed at Zion, then let the word stand, let it carry the full weight of what is being done in its name, because once we do that, the clarity is devastating.” jns.org/opinion/jewish…

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction — “This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.” He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.” “attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.” Video @Reuters
