@thedailybeast Nope nope nope. They are trying to split up Harry and Meghan. Harry and Meghan have a beautiful family in the best home he's ever had. Given time, Diana would likely have left too and she would be with us today if she had.

There may be hope that Prince Harry could be enticed to return home by being given a job and brought back into the fold, but it comes with a catch. trib.al/cm8EBKM

@JustinWStapley Trumpism tore the mask off evangelicals. Their support of Trump made it undeniable. In fact, didn't Ken Starr identify as an evangelical at one time? Remember his obsession with Clinton? Isn't he in the Epstein files? Trump has simply exposed who conservatives are.

I'm the first to admit that an intense cult of personality now exists around Donald Trump. But a lot of folks who talk a lot about this fact fail to consider the connotations, because they also assert either that Trumpian populism has revealed what conservatism always was or that Trumpism has completely and wholly unmoored most conservatives from their beliefs and wrought a true and thorough ideological shift. But that is not the nature of cults of personality. The hallmark of such a thing is cognitive dissonance, of the arrest of self-awareness, of believing that this person, this moment, justifies temporarily setting aside inhibitions and, making exceptions to the norms of values, ideals, and behaviors. Far too many detractors of Trumpism fail to recognize that by saying MAGA is a cult of personality is to also say that Trump's followers still hold to their pre-Trump beliefs and values...and can be brought back to them under the right circumstances.

@RoyalReporter @keensquirrel The problem is all the British media spent so many years attacking Harry and Meghan, it's almost impossible to undo it. And that was always the point Harry was making. He saw it done to his mother and now Harry himself and Meghan. It's too bad but you were a part of it.

@keensquirrel Did I? I could have sworn I wrote a story saying they were working on five projects with Netflix and others with rival streamers and TV channels. I must have imagined it…

Harry and Meghan have confirmed a report that they are executive producing a polo-themed drama for Netflix. A spokesman for the couple says more productions with Netflix and other streamers will be announced soon. deadline.com/2026/03/prince…

Harry and Meghan are working on five projects with Netflix and others with rival streamers and TV channels. There’s no doubt they’ve suffered some setbacks but, six years after their “freedom flight”, they do seem to be making it work for themselves. inews.co.uk/news/royals-tu…

@GiancarloSopo @BishopBarron Yes. Grace, alone and by himself, meets Rocky, leans into sacrifice, and they save the world(s). Christ (the rock) savior of the world, through grace alone. Seems awful familiar!

Like @BishopBarron points out, Project Hail Mary is drenched in Christian imagery. A man named Grace inhabits the Hail Mary. "Hail Mary, full of Grace..." That's not an accident. Wonderful film.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

@GiancarloSopo @EWErickson @BishopBarron And like Trump inviting the men’s Olympic hockey team to the SOTU, trying to claim PHM as a “win” for conservatives when one has nothing to do with the other. PHM references a last ditch effort. Rocky is an alien. “Christians” would have had him deported

A generation ago, nobody had to explain why a film about sacrifice and existential stakes might carry Christian resonance. That was just interpretation and common culture. But the film doesn't require interpretative gymnastics to get there. The ship is called the Hail Mary. The hero is named Grace. The mission commander, when asked if she believes in God, says "It's better than the alternative" and the film leaves it there, without dismissal. I wrote a full review if you're interested. My argument isn't that PHM is a Christian film. It's that it's a film saturated in Christian memory, whether the filmmakers intended all of it or not. Barron is right: we remain a Christ-haunted culture whether we realize it or not. nationalreview.com/corner/project…

@GiancarloSopo @EWErickson @BishopBarron Trying to make a fun space movie “Christian” is an obvious effort to claim popular culture is religious. It’s a great movie and there are zero religious references in it. It’s not like Rocky was reading the Bible.

@Skriptkeeper17 The way Harry and Meghan have been treated makes me look at Diana’s experience very differently.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

This is one of the most unhinged yet! What does William, nearly 50, with a wife, kids, and 60+ staff catering to his every whim, need Harry for? Why should Harry apologise for being bullied and physically assaulted, then abandon his own family to be Willy’s slave & scapegoat?🤷🏽‍♀️
Nelly@ValleyGirl629

Prince Andrew’s case is ramping up (“another crisis”) & the BEGGING 4 the default scapegoat is getting out of control. Calls 4 Harry 2 leave his family & tend 2 Prince William are louder 😡 Plus H has NOTHING to apologize for. He told his truth!
