@Jamie_Weinstein @naomirwolf It’s unfair that somebody spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a property and doesn’t want to use it all the time?

How does Ken Griffin owning a $238 million condo in NYC he only visits occasionally harm New Yorkers exactly? He pays an extraordinary high property tax to the city for services he barely uses. Why ridicule him for this? x.com/NYCMayor/statu…

@MikeNellis Isn’t Godless what you guys go for? You should be thrilled.

If you’re leaving the Catholic Church because Pope Leo is calling for peace, then you probably weren’t much of a Catholic to begin with. Looking at you, Sean Hannity.

@ABC The US is full of experts and political observers that have been wrong consistently for long periods of time. But I am so sure that they’re getting it right this time. 😂😂

While the Catholic Church teaches forgiveness, American Catholics may not extend mercy to President Trump over his attacks on Pope Leo XIV, some political observers said. abcnews.link/7oIHlar

THE POPE IS WRONG The pope is wrong. I'm not talking about the pissing match between him and Trump, an embarrassment arising from two men with problem egos. I'm talking about the gospel. He's wrong about that. On Palm Sunday, presiding at the altar, dressed in his vestments and regalia, standing above the body and blood of Christ, proclaiming as the bishop of Rome the gospel, he said, "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." Let that sink in. "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." That is preposterous, and conflicts directly with the Bible, the teachings and history of his own Roman Catholic Church, and the very nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Bible, there are six separates Psalms written as prayers by David while he was waging war. In these prayers he asked God to bless his efforts and defeat his enemies. Does the pope want us to believe that the Lord ignored those prayers and rejected David as he offered them? Should those Psalms be removed from the Bible canonized by his own church four times over more than a thousand years? What about Jehoshaphat, Elisha, Joshua and Hezekiah -- as well as the entire tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh -- who all while waging war prayed fervently to God to deliver them and subdue their enemies? God ignored them, too, and rejected them? That's a little hard to swallow given that each one of them was blessed with success in battle and rejoicingly thanked the Lord for it. That's what the Bible says. As far as the doctrinally authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church, the church declares the principle of "just war" -- based on the teachings of saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas -- and Catholic tradition specifically calls on those waging war to ask for victory in justice and protection for Catholic troops. And what of the Catholic chaplains in our Armed Forces? Should they tell young men and women waging war in their country's service that their prayers are pointless, as they will be ignored and rejected by their Savior? Isn't that what the Holy Father said? Finally, there is the matter of Constantine as he prepared for the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. A pagan who was about to wage war, he asked God to bless him with victory. At that point, he saw a cross in the sky and words that told him to march under its banner. That led to his conversion, the embrace of Christianity by the Roman Empire, the Nicaean Creed, and the official governmental sponsorship that made the Catholic Church one of the most powerful and wealthy institutions in the western world. Is the pope saying that the Lord turned a deaf ear to Constantine? Was that all a mistake or misunderstanding? Should we still be worshipping the sun god? Of course not. But this isn't about history or doctrine, soldiers or even the Bible. It's about Jesus Christ. "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus listens to everyone's prayers, and Jesus rejects no one. The Lord loves us all, no matter who we are, no matter what we have done, no matter how far we have fallen. God loves us all, and waits like the adoring Heavenly Father he is for us to reach out to him. He rejoices when we pray, he embraces us when we pray, he pours out his blessings upon us when we pray. Even if we are waging war. Even if we are in the depths of sin. Maybe especially if we are in the depths of sin. "The Lord is near to all who call upon him," David said. And that is true, no matter what Leo said. God always loves us, God is always there for us, God will always hear our prayers. It's unfortunate the vicar of Christ seems confused on that point.

MAGA REPUBLICANS... Pay close attention. We Catholic Republicans love our pope, and you can't win elections without us. We already make up about 20% of the Republican Party. You can't afford to lose us. Be very, very, very careful.

I'm Italian... we went to WAR with the Papal States to establish our republic. Don't tell me that speaking disrespectfully about the Pope is somehow anti-Catholic.

@ABC Yeah, that’s not how this works. I understand that your orders are to divide Catholics from MAGA, but as a practicing Catholic, who has children and Catholic schools, I assure you, no one cares. If anything it is doing more damage to the church then it is to Trump.

@kaitlancollins No one is saying that

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?'"

@ick_real Maude

I'm looking for a ridiculously old-fashioned girl's name for our new born . Think great-grandma name. Very old and rare. Any suggestions asap pls?

@DavidAFrench Except that this was announced weeks ago. Why would we keep throwing money at something? That’s no longer necessary? The border is closed.

Horrible. Hard to see this as anything other than retaliation.

Good evening from the Coconut Tree @KamalaHarris Ma’am, (can we call you Ma'am?) we’ll keep this factual and review your actual record, not your reboot. As a U.S. Senator (2017-2021), you were an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution (S.Res. 59). It directed the US to “divest from fossil fuels,” phase out oil, gas, and coal production and remake the entire economy around subsidized green mandates. Your 2020 campaign was shorter than a Garden Gnome but managed to work in these gems: You told the CNN town hall: “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” On Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show: “We will end fracking once and for all” while committing to the Green New Deal. Your $10 trillion climate plan called for no new fossil fuel leases on federal lands, phasing out all oil & gas (even if renewables weren’t ready), a carbon fee, and doubling U.S. payments to the UN Green Climate Fund. Before that, as California Attorney General (2011-2017), you built a reputation suing our industry. The lawfare you pursued laid the foundation for the collapse of the California refining industry we are witnessing right now You even sued the Obama-Biden administration to block new offshore permits off California’s coast. Remember 2022? As VP, national gas prices hit $5+/gallon (over $6 in parts of CA). You told Americans those record prices were “a price to pay for democracy” for Ukraine. But apparently the freedom of millions of Irainian citizens are not worth $3.97 a gallon now? That seems - I don't know - selective? Bottom line. California still pays the nation’s highest gas prices — thanks to the taxes, mandates, and anti-production policies you championed for years. Flying cross country (made possible by jet fuel) to North Carolina to make a video isn't going to change that. And those are the facts - unburdened by what has been.

They were profound experiences for my son. He was overwhelmed with emotion to have touched where Pope Francis knelt in the Basilica when he visited. His faith is a very important to him, I couldn’t ask for more from a 14 year old! The problem with what is going on at the moment is that it feels so contrived. Immediately after meeting with a damn strategist, the pope starts dabbling in politics again? It does not feel genuine, which is unfortunate and what leads to the questioning.

@cjustcannot @CynicalPublius @realMAG1775 My sons were altar servers for a half dozen years. No one as prominent as your dons, but they are both questioning the Church.

I have been pretty emphatic the last few days in condemning Pope Leo’s foray into American politics. My detractors are having fun stating that I am doing this out of allegiance to President Trump and that I have chosen Trump over God. WRONG. The biggest reason by far why I am so vocal on this is the damage Pope Leo is doing to the Catholic Church in the USA. I believe Pope Leo has done more to harm US Catholicism in just a few days than any other Pope of the past 100 years (even Francis). Pope Leo is literally causing orthodox, faithful American Catholics to flee the Church out of disgust over his leftwing politicization and his kowtowing to Islam. Moreover, he has opened the door for boundless criticism against Catholicism from certain Protestant denominations and churches, causing untold harm to Christian ecumenism in the USA. It is precisely because I care so much about the Church that Jesus founded in AD 33 that I oppose the havoc Pope Leo has unleashed in the US Church. (And yes, under Church doctrine and as a Catholic, I am fully entitled to hold such beliefs and express them.)

I did not attack the pope anywhere. He is a man and he is fallible. He was not spreading the gospel when he was suggesting that we call our congressman. I am not denouncing Christianity, but what I will not support this type of “gospel spreading” with my money. As I said, my faith is between me and God. There are many ways I can be of service outside of mass.

@cjustcannot @CynicalPublius @realMAG1775 You’re leaving your church and attacking the pope for spreading the gospel of the prince of peace. Your worship of Trump and now wars is idolatry. You’re already denouncing Christianity.

@GovWesMoore BREAKING: You are still an unpopular liar who will never make it in national politics and the injunction will be VERY TEMPORARY. Washington County already approved it #NOKINGS

BREAKING: Today, a federal court granted a preliminary injunction halting construction on the proposed ICE Facility in Washington County. This ruling is a major and welcome step forward. We’ve been clear from the start: this project raises grave concerns for Washington County — from environmental damage, to water and sewer capacity, to emergency services, to the loss of economic opportunity, to the broader lack of transparency around this process. Those concerns deserve to be fully heard before irreversible construction moves ahead. My administration will keep working with @OAGMaryland, local leaders, and Maryland’s federal congressional delegation to ensure full compliance with the law and to protect the well-being of Marylanders.

Selective memory IS wild!

AMEN!

Why would Barack Obama's former chief campaign strategist David Axelrod, who now makes a living bashing President Trump on TV, fly to Italy to meet with the head of the Catholic Church when he's Jewish 🤔

No it’s not 😂😂. It is backfiring on the Catholic Church. This is not 2016…… the Dem playbook is easy to identify and now we have X to talk about it. You don’t meet with a Dem political strategist and then just magically speak out against POTUS while 3 bishops disparage him on 60 minutes organically. The church is hemorrhaging money since Trump stopped their human trafficking operation and they are desperate to recover their losses. Ultimately their transparent operation will backfired. As a practicing Catholic whose children are in Catholic school I can tell you that I am personally looking for other options because of it.

Trump's rift with Pope is playing out in public - it's costing him valuable support bbc.in/4tNOTLM
