Cherie, I have watched the Derby probably 20 times now. What a race! And the story with the horse, the trainer and the jockey are inspiring to us all. Thank you for persevering with your dream and reaching for your goals with tenacity and hard work. Your joy and enthusiasm as Golden Tempo and Jose made it towards and across the finish line will be remembered for a long time. The country needed this.

Being a celebrity is hard work

Thank you for posting your experience in Italy. A common experience for those who travel. This has to change and it was a major issue that drove voters in the last election. Good food is necessary for good health and life. The USA should have the best food in the world and its people should be the freest and the healthiest.

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S… How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior. I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S. Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight. If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day… WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products? The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation. WHY aren’t more people upset about this? The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

@BenSasse Praying for you, Ben. Wonderful interview on 60 mins. Loved when you said “there are no maverick molecules in the universe.” Will remember that the rest of my life.

my wife has a very different opinion….

@vancemurphy I’m a boomer and find this offensive. I voted for Trump three times and I don’t recognize him anymore.

I honestly want to know who is advising him to hit post. Trump is destroying every last bit of support he had with millennials and Gen Z. STOP appeasing the baby boomers.

@BreeSolstad They are not Catholic per their posts.

These people have lost their ever-loving minds.

@EricLDaugh This is a bad look for President Trump, to continue to go after Pope Leo XIV. He should stop tweeting and focus on America first policies. Americans cannot afford gas, food, housing, cars, etc…Midterms are in less than 7 months.

🚨 WOW! President Trump reveals uncovered social media history of Pope Leo attacking Trump and JD Vance, being pro-open borders, anti-2A, and falling for the George Floyd BS “Not good!!!”

That’s because we have had over 20 years to think about the Iraq War and what that decision cost. Pope John Paul II was correct at the time and so was Donald Trump who agreed with him and went on every talk show expressing his criticism of President Bush’s decision to preemptively start a war in Iraq.

Have been thinking about this too

We don’t have blasphemy laws and we believe in free speech. However, offending Christians by depicting oneself as Jesus Christ, will likely result in them not voting in the midterms. That is not a smart thing to do. Perhaps you could use your influence to let President Trump know, this would be a good time to apologize and remove the meme that is offending the majority of his voting base. You may want to let him know a verbal attack on the Pope is not one of his more brilliant ideas as well.

We don’t have “blasphemy” laws here in the US. If you want to be outraged over blasphemy, I suggest you move to a Muslim country where you can be given the death penalty if you depict Mohammed. We don’t do that here in America. People crashing out over a meme need to chill out.

I typically find you wise and interesting. This time you have missed it completely. Blessed are the peacemakers. Pope Leo XIV stands on the truth of Christ and speaks for all who are displaced, injured and killed by an unprovoked war that has been waged for reasons that cannot be explained or justified to the world. There is no evidence that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear weapon that could strike the US. Regime change and doing the bidding of an allied nation are not reasons to preemptively strike a country. We are called to pursue peace and Pope Leo is right to speak out with the moral authority he carries as the Vicar of Christ.

Despite all the sizzling hot takes on the Pope’s press statements about the President and the President’s post about the Pope, I don’t think any have summed up the situation better than Pope Gelasius did in his letter to Emperor Anastasius in AD 494: “Your Piety’s servants, my sons, the master Faustus and Irenaeus, illustrious men, and their companions who exercise the public office of legate, when they returned to the City, said that Your Clemency asked why I did not send my greeting to you in written form. Not, I confess, by my design; but since those who had been dispatched a little while ago from the regions of the East had spread [word] throughout the whole City that they had been denied permission of seeing me by your commands, I thought that I ought to refrain from [writing] letters, lest I be judged burdensome rather than dutiful. You see, therefore, that it came not from my dissembling, but rather from proper caution, lest I inflict annoyance on one minded to reject me. But when I learned that the benevolence of Your Serenity had, as indicated above, expected a word from my humility, then I truly recognized that I would not unjustly be blamed if I remained silent. For, glorious son, I as a Roman born love, honor, and accept you as the Roman Prince. And as a Christian I desire to have knowledge according to the truth with one who has zeal for God. And as the Vicar of the Apostolic See (of whatever quality), whenever I see something (however little) lacking from the fullness of the Catholic Faith, I attempt to supply it by moderate and timely suggestions. For the dispensing of the divine word has been enjoined on me: «woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel» (1 Cor 9:16). Because, if the vessel of election, blessed Paul the Apostle, is afraid and cries out, how much more urgently must I fear if in my preaching I omit anything from the ministry of preaching which has been divinely inspired and handed down by the piety of the fathers. I pray your Piety not to judge [my] duty toward the divine plan as arrogance. Far be it from the Roman Prince, I beg, that he judge the truth that he senses in his heart to be an injury. For there are two, O emperor Augustus, by which the world is principally ruled: the sacred authority of pontiffs and the royal power. Among which how much heavier is the burden of priests, such that they will have to render an account to the Lord at the time of judgment even for those very kings.”

@JackPosobiec @elonmusk The Bolsheviks are not Iranians.

Bolsheviks want to kill us all. They killed Charlie. They’ve tried to kill Trump multiple times. Either you understand what time it is or you don’t

@realCarola2Hope Amen.

Pope Leo XIV is not ‘woke’, nor a Marxist, nor a progressive, nor a leftist. The Pope is simply a Christian. When he defends the poor and the innocent, he is following the Gospel. When he denounces injustice, he is imitating Christ. When he speaks for the poor, he is repeating word for word the Sermon on the Mount. Those who are angry at him are not fighting with Pope Leo XIV. They are fighting with Christ. Because it was Jesus who said: ‘Whatever you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me.’ Rejecting the Pope for being merciful is not something a Christian does. The problem is not that Leo XIV has strayed from Christ. The problem is that some have strayed so far from the Gospel that they no longer recognize it when they see it.

Pope Leo XIV also voted in Republican primaries for decades. Does it matter? He is our Holy Father and not an elected politician. Your post reflects a serious misunderstanding of the Church’s purpose in the world and the Pope’s role as the earthly leader of all Catholics no matter their national origin. A reminder, @JackPosobiec, that our citizenship as Christians, is in the kingdom of God first, where Christ’s reign is eternal.

Cardinal Prevost was promoted by Pope Francis and given a prominent Vatican position during his papacy. We found Prevost's twitter feed last year where he was trashing Trump and Vance, as well as border enforcement. And praising George Floyd

@RepFine MAGA isn’t MAGA anymore.

Tucker Carlson is not MAGA.

@JustTheTweets17 @toddstarnes This is not a just war. America has nothing to fear if we act in good faith, negotiate fairly and work towards a lasting peace vs threatening to annilhilate a civilization.

I guess this means Todd doesn't believe Trump. He told us last summer we destroyed all of it and then we bombed them again for no apparent reason. Now he going to blow up their infrastructure and cause millions of innocent Iranians to be die. There is NO good argument for what Trump is doing and they know it.

The anti-Trump conservative influencers and the Democrats and Never Trump Republicans believe the moral high ground is to do nothing and wait for American cities to be incinerated by nuclear bombs.

The Art of the Deal was meant to negotiate wins for America, like NATO paying their fair share, not start war, threaten nations with annihilation and have the world teetering towards WW3. Trump is not following his own playbook, but is being manipulated and one has to ask why? He promised justice for the victims of Epstein and to release the files and stopped both.

You can believe in "The Art of the Deal" or you can believe in God, you cannot believe in both. God doesn't sacrifice the innocent to make a deal.

Voted for him 3 times. What has happened to America first and no new wars? Where is the man who gave us the art of the deal? Who criticized our 20+ years in the Middle East? Who promised Americans the Golden Age. We are 15 months in and I don’t recognize the man I supported and voted for.

If you supported and voted for Trump but now believe he is wrong in his words and actions, put you handle below, I want to follow you.

Progress has been made at the border which has had an impact on reducing child trafficking. However, justice, the punishment of evil and the upholding of good is necessary for having a safe society. Without it, those who do wrong will continue to do wrong and those who do right will become disheartened. Many are disheartened by the promises of justice that were made and have not been kept. There is no real moving forward for a just and safe society without accountability for such crimes.

Lol. You fell for it, huh? You know how you stop the trafficking of children into the US? Really? It's simple. You close the border and end the endless illegal crossings. Oh wait... we did that! Crossings crashed 90%+ to historic lows. Unaccompanied minors plummeted from 100k+ peaks to just ~3k so far this year. Prevention works. Are you still on about Epstein? He's been dead since 2019. Which children are we talking about now? The only way to fix things is to focus on moving forward, not staying stuck in the past. Massie is riling up his base by demanding full file releases, as if the DOJ is protecting pedophiles and nothing else is happening. Zero nuance there. Everyone following that guy falls for the "stay stuck in the past" grift. We've made real progress stopping child trafficking at the border. Wake up!

@MattWalshBlog When your government can send you to die in a war at age 18, you should have the right to vote and have a voice as to who your commander in chief is.

There's basically no difference between this and the exact same kinds of "dumb spring breaker" videos you'd see 10 years ago or 20 years ago or 30 years ago. I actually don't mind the fact that a bunch of 18 and 19 year old kids are totally ignorant about world affairs. That's healthier than obsessively doomscrolling alone in your basement or whatever. The problem is that these kids can vote. We should all just agree that 19 year olds are stupid and don't know anything, and that's basically fine, but it's also why they shouldn't be able to vote. Raise the voting age to 25.

@MattWalshBlog So glad you said this. Totally agree.

My take on the current discourse about the Christian man with the formerly “promiscuous” wife is that many of the comments towards the man and his wife have been uncharitable, cruel, and certainly un-Christian, but also that Christians these days often tend to be far too eager to tell the entire world about their past sins, which in most cases shows a lack of discretion and a certain lack of the sort of shame one should feel even for repented sins. Also, as a parent, I strongly believe that you generally should avoid telling your kids about your own wayward youth, because the kids will take such stories as an indication that they too can go off and have fun sinning and things will turn out okay, just as they did for you. Also you undermine your own moral authority when you instruct your children not to do the very things you have admitted to having done yourself. Finally, the man’s line about how his wife “is more pure than most virgins” is prideful and shows a kind of competitiveness and vanity that should simply not ever appear in any Prodigal Son style testimony. Imagine if the Prodigal Son had returned and announced himself not only repentant but “more pure” than the brother who stayed? It would kind of destroy the point of the story. So in summary I basically disagree with everyone on this.
