BREAKING: In an unprecedented violation of religious liberty, the Trump–Vance White House has cut funding to Catholic Charities in Miami, shutting down a shelter for homeless children — just days after President Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV. thelettersfromleo.com/p/trump-admini…
English

Father Edward Beck: "I think that Catholics are recognizing that, and they're upset by it. Not only Catholics. I hear a lot of people, Jews, Christians, talking to me, saying, 'What is going on with this president? He's gone off the rails with this. And why is he picking the Pope to have this battle with?'"
English

Seriously Holy Father, you need to fire the alter boy you put in charge of your social media posts….
- No outrage over President Biden’s pro abortion stance
- No outrage over the ongoing massacre of Christians and Catholics throughout the Globe
- No outrage over the Iranian leadership executing 40,000 of its own citizens and continuing public hangings
- No outrage over the senseless war between Russia and Ukraine
- Ignoring the amazing opportunity you have as the leader of the Catholic Church to capitalize on the incredible resurgence in faith and attending Christian and Catholic services
- Urging Catholics to “love” the exact extremists who want to wipe us from the face of the earth
- No acknowledgement of the progress in the all out war on human trafficking
- No, just want to take shots at President Trump for drawing the line at nuclear weapons capability for the largest state sponsor of terrorism…Interestingly right after a noted globalist operative was given an audience with you
- Some would say a head scratcher. I would say you have exposed yourself for who you really are.
- I love the Catholic Faith. But have lost all faith in the Institution. May God have mercy on you.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@Knesix The Holy Father has repeatedly condemned the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and other places. Like most Trump supporters, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Trump, in his policies and his conduct, is the least Christian president in our history.
English

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.
And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.
All organically, I'm sure.
I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.
This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.
But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.
Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.
The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.
OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing.
But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.
The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

Liberals are going to HATE this! Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says he's made it very clear that he's offered EVERY member of Congress the opportunity to view UNREDACTED Epstein Files, with absolutely zero restrictions:
"We have released EVERYTHING. We reviewed 6 million pieces of paper! We are not sitting on a SINGLE piece of paper to be released."
"We said to Congress, any congressman can come in and spend as much time as they want, looking at everything unredacted."
"And if you think we should be doing something, congressman or congresswoman, let us know and we will do it."
"I don't know how this department or this president can be more transparent than saying American people."
"Here is every single document in our entire database. And if we had to redact it because of victim names, anybody can come look at it if you're a member of Congress. No restrictions, unredacted."
REPOST this absolutely EVERYWHERE. Your move, Democrats.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.
I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.
That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).
And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
😡😡😡✅

Hmmm..you want to criticize Trump and the USA, yet you have remained silent on the largest sponsor of worldwide terrorism as well as a regime that slaughtered 40,000 of its own citizens to keep a grip on control…not to mention your repeated silence on Christian hate throughout the Globe. Please, your Holiness, be a leader, a maverick if the situation calls for it, and condemn terrorism and Christian hate, any religious hate, not the defenders of peace and harmony. I am a lifelong, card carrying Catholic, love the faith and the Institution. We need a powerful leader, not a woke follower. Now! I am praying for your strength….

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

If you die without a plan...
- The government takes 40% in tax
- Probate court costs $100k+
- Your kids get the scraps
If you love your family, here's every document you need to protect them:
(from a CPA & father of two)
1) Emergency Access List
This should include:
-> All bank account numbers
-> Investment account logins
-> Life insurance policies
-> 401k/IRA beneficiaries
-> Safe deposit box location
-> Password manager master code
Keep a digital & physical version for safety...
And make sure your spouse has access.
2) Legal Documents
-> Will (name guardians for kids)
-> Durable Power of Attorney
-> Healthcare Power of Attorney
-> Living Will/Healthcare Directive
Setting all of this up costs about $500...
($1,500 with an attorney)
But without them, the state decides everything.
3) Money Protection
Your family will need time to mourn.
Make sure they can do it without going broke:
-> Term life insurance (10x income)
-> Emergency fund (6-12 mo in a HYSA)
-> Retirement accounts with spouse access
4) The "First 48 Hours" Sheet
Write down clear instructions for your family:
Call this attorney: [Name/Number]
Call this CPA: [Name/Number]
File life insurance claim here: [Details]
Don't touch investments for 6 months
All bills are on autopay from [Account]
Grief destroys decision making.
This protects them.
5) Business Owner Addition
If you have a business, set up:
-> Buy sell agreements
-> Key person insurance
-> Business succession plan
-> Separate LLC owned by trust
If your company can't survive without you...
It's a 9-5 with extra steps.
6) Trust Setup
A proper trust can save your family $400k+ in probate costs.
But 90% of them are set up wrong:
-> Assets never get transferred in
-> Beneficiaries aren't updated
-> Pour-over will is missing
Here's how to fix that:
"Bulletproof" Trust System:
1) Revocable Living Trust
-> Avoids probate completely
-> Keeps finances private
-> Protects kids' inheritance
2) Pour-Over Will
-> Catches forgotten assets
3) Guardian Designation
-> Who raises your kids
-> How they get paid
Setting this up takes a weekend...
But ignoring it could cost your family everything.
So start before you're ready...
Because no one plans on dying.
Hope this helps!
Share with your spouse if you want to set this up...
And follow me for more 🤝🏻

In 2011, a neuroscientist at MIT named Dr. Li-Huei Tsai made a discovery that should have been on the front page of every newspaper on Earth.
She exposed mice with advanced Alzheimer's disease to a flickering light pulsing at exactly 40 Hz — forty flashes per second. Nothing else. No drugs. No surgery. Just light at a specific frequency.
Within one hour, the amyloid-beta plaques in their brains — the protein deposits that define Alzheimer's — began to dissolve. Not slow. Not gradually. Within sixty minutes.
After seven days of daily 40 Hz exposure, plaque levels dropped by 50%. The mice regained memory function. Their neurons began firing in synchrony again. The brain's immune cells — microglia — activated and started clearing the toxic buildup like a cleaning crew that had been asleep for years.
The study was published in Nature. The most prestigious scientific journal on the planet. Peer-reviewed. Replicated. Confirmed.
That was 2016. It is now 2026.
40 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's. The pharmaceutical industry generates $13 billion per year from Alzheimer's drugs that do not reverse the disease. Not one of them. They slow it. Maybe. Temporarily. At $26,000 per year per patient.
A 40 Hz light costs less than a dollar to produce.
Dr. Tsai is still at MIT. Her research continues. Phase III human trials are underway. But you will not see this on the evening news. You will not hear your doctor mention it. You will not find it in any pharmacy.
Because a frequency that costs nothing cannot sustain a $13 billion industry.
The light is 40 Hz. The frequency is real. The science is published. And 40 million people are still waiting for permission to use it.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops.
Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID.
I know you guys knew that already... lol

Imagine being the only coach at a university willing to speak up for your girls when a male is put on the roster.
Losing your job for it.
And being shot at in your kitchen.
Silencing women is the only tactic of this evil movement.
Right now, @Meta has blocked us from running ads. Please share.

Coach Melissa Batie-Smoose spoke up for her players at SJSU. They told her to get psychiatric help. Then someone shot at her in her own kitchen. All for defending girls who didn’t even know they were sharing living space and a roster with a male athlete. These women deserve real support—not silence.
