@mirandadevine It’s bad especially on rainy days!

It is just not safe to cross the road in NYC any more because so many e-bikes speed through red lights, go the wrong way, and disregard all road rules. And yet: Mayor Zohran Mamdani eased up on police enforcement of reckless e-bike drivers last month. Lawbreakers are his constituents.

@elonmusk Barack Obama heavily involved!

Terrible

Happy Earth Day!🌎 🌍🌏

Beauty is proof that humans weren't made just to survive.

@TheCharlesDowns @Carter_MAGA @BarackObama ⬇️

I just voted against Barack Hussein Obama’s (@BarackObama) scheme to rig the midterm elections. Obama has flooded Virginia with nonstop ads falsely claiming Trump will “rig the midterms” unless his amendment passes. If Obama and the Democrats succeed today, nearly every congressional district in Virginia will be handed to a Democrat. Who wants an entire state run by House Democrats (@HouseDemocrats)? Absolutely no one. GOTV!

A hiker who was lost for 24 hours on a mountain ignored repeated phone calls from rescuers because he didn’t recognize the number.

One of the greatest and oldest special effects in history can be witnessed in Rome today And it has been playing out, on cue, for nearly 2000 years... Each year on April 21, the traditional birthday of Rome — the legendary date Romulus founded the city in 753 BC — the midday sun pierces the oculus at the crown of the Pantheon's dome and casts a perfect disk of light that settles squarely on the temple's entrance. For roughly two minutes and fifty seconds, the bronze doors blaze gold... At that exact moment, the Emperor would step across the threshold, his body swallowed in sunlight, as though the heavens themselves were handing him the city. Hadrian's engineers designed the entire building as a cosmos in miniature: the interior is exactly 43.3 metres wide and 43.3 metres tall, meaning a perfect sphere fits inside it. The Roman senator Cassius Dio wrote that the vaulted roof was meant to resemble the heavens themselves...

Happy Monday, NYC! 📍Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens

Most beautiful pic of the year 🫶

On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord via the Charles River. Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

@visegrad24 Ugh

The Palestinian flag has just been hoisted on the city hall of La Courneuve, Paris, by the newly elected Mayor Aly Diouara! 🇫🇷🇵🇸

It’s Friday, my friends! 🕺💃🕺💃🎶

They were definitely at this same rink back in the 70s, back when the music was louder, the wheels were louder, and these three ruled the floor like absolute kings. You can still tell they owned this place back in the day!🔥🛼

🌸 Feeling pretty in pink! 🌸 Our Kansan cherry trees are blooming all around the Park, showing off their vibrant, double-petaled pink flowers. Use our FREE cherry tracker to plan your visit during the whirlwind of cherry blossom season: bit.ly/3Q171Dg

Ken Griffin donated $400 million to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His name is on this building. Mamdani should be buttering these guys up to give more.

“Fragile Giants” under the cherry blossoms on Park Avenue in NYC The cherry blossoms on Park Avenue in Manhattan (34th-38th Sts) are in peak bloom. You can still view the open-air art exhibition featuring monumental animal sculptures by Michel Bassompierre through May 11.

@BobLonsberry @lynnstringer The pope has TDS

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.
