The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.

There are moments that crystallize a political figure's vulnerability and accelerates their decline. This comment by @POTUS will be remembered as one of them.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

Over the last year, the growth in military expenditure around the world and Europe has been enormous. Rearmament increases tensions and insecurity, drains investments from education and healthcare, undermines trust in diplomacy, and enriches elites who care nothing for the common good. This should not be called “defense.”

Study, research, and investment should move in the opposite direction and become a radical “yes” to life! Yes to innocent life, yes to young life, yes to the lives of people who cry out for peace and justice!

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

“I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ✨☁️ Today we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord, the glorious moment when Jesus, having completed His earthly mission, was taken up into Heaven and seated at the right hand of the Father. The Ascension is not a story of absence, but of a new and deeper presence. Christ does not abandon His Church; He enters the glory of the Father with His glorified humanity, opening for us the way to Heaven. He goes before us, so that where He is, we too may one day be. Understanding the Mystery of the Ascension: 1️⃣ The End of His Visible Earthly Presence: For forty days after His Resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples, teaching them, eating with them, and confirming the reality of His victory over death. Then, before their eyes, He was taken up into Heaven. 2️⃣ Humanity Brought into Glory: As a cloud received Him from their sight, Christ’s glorified humanity entered forever into the presence of the Father. In Him, our human nature has been lifted up and called to share in the life of Heaven. 3️⃣ The Way Opened for the Righteous: Christian tradition sees in Christ the Savior who opens the gates of Heaven to the righteous who had awaited redemption. He is the victorious King who leads humanity back to the Father. 4️⃣ Seated at the Right Hand of the Father: The Ascension reveals Christ’s kingship and His priestly intercession for us. He is not far from us; He reigns, intercedes, and prepares a place for those who remain faithful to Him. The Ascension reminds us that while our feet are on earth, our true citizenship is in Heaven. We live in hope, knowing that our Lord has gone before us and remains with His Church always.

On this Ascension Day, we’re honoured to share a special message from His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for Thy Kingdom Come 2026.

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me! As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far. Together we are One.

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

Mearsheimer: ​"If Israel loses the war, it might launch a nuclear attack on Iran. There should no longer be a rogue state in the world." ​Israel must either be disarmed or abolished. The world can no longer carry this burden.

If Prince Harry’s charities/foundations have to be wrecked, because they are thriving and they actually provide tangible help/support to people who need them, in an effort to not expose the fact, that the royal family has been playing pretend-service for centuries. Then it’s the monarchy that should cease to exist, for good to prevail. Harry and Meghan’s Australia visit made over 50millions for businesses, and that family is petrified, that taxpayers will realize, that the Sussexes are doing real service, giving away their own money, while self-funded. Forcing Australia to cut funding for its injured soldiers, is a move, not even a crime family would make, for even they know that somethings are sacred. Shame on the UK media for letting that family go rogue at the expense of Sentebale and now even the Invictus Games. How unconscionable!
