I keep hearing commentators say that Democrats are opposing this or that reasonable thing -- such as President Trump's actions against Iran -- because they are afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome. I disagree. You must understand Democrats. They are brutally and unscrupulously partisan. They oppose almost everything Republicans do because they would rather hurt the country than cooperate with Republicans. The main relevance of Trump in the calculation is that they can better get away with their manifest unreasonableness when they're opposing Trump, because they can always frame it as a crazy Trump move. But if you think they wouldn't just as vigorously oppose any other Republican President -- Rubio, Vance, even moderate Mitt Romney, then, respectfully, you don't understand Democrats. And one other thing: it's not just their base. They don't just pursue destructive positions because their extremist base has them in a straight-jacket. They are mostly in accord with the base. This party is frightfully leftist. Even if you don't agree with my point about the base, understand that I'm inarguably right about the Democrat Party's opposition to any Republican President -- and that will continue as long as they can get away with it.

@idontexistTore @realDonaldTrump @Scavino47 Beautiful articulation of true Christianity.

MR. President @realDonaldTrump this soldier has a message for you. @Scavino47 she is fantastic.

TIME TO GET LOUD FOLKS 🚨 You don't get to use ($5M) dollars in FEMA money on yourself and remain in Congress I'm calling on @SpeakerJohnson to expel Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick today... let him hear you.... he'll see this...

@JamesMartinSJ The Pope is hiding behind the Gospel to interfere in American politics in an ungodly way. Not surprised you defend this because that's your entire shtick also. Trump has every right to defend himself politically in the political arena Pope Leo purposely entered into.

@SecretFire79 Wonderful! Wonderful!

What’s stopping your parish from singing like this?🇻🇦

He condemns Trump, but not the IRGC massacre of 45,000 Iranians.

@DavidJHarrisJr Communism is alive and well in the Catholic Church!

@DavidJHarrisJr @squishypat Unfortunately.

@PatriotSammi @morgfair Do you know about Tina Peters in a Colorado prison?

Marie-Thérèse is 86 years old. Handcuffed. Wrists and ankles. Sitting in an ICE detention facility in Louisiana with roughly 70 other detainees. She has heart problems. She has a bad back. Her children in France didn’t know where she was for a week. Here’s why: Sixty years ago she fell in love with an American soldier. They lost each other. They found each other again. They got married. Billy was a retired U.S. Army colonel. Billy died in January. Marie-Thérèse had a green card application pending. Then there was an inheritance dispute with Billy’s son. Billy’s son reportedly called ICE. DHS called her “an illegal alien from France.” This is what we’re doing to the 86-year-old widow of an American veteran. What exactly are we protecting? #DemsUnited #Veterans

It is in the best interests of the Roman Catholic Church, the USA and the world that the Vatican publicly release details as to the subject matter of the recent meeting between Pope Leo XIV and Obama's political strategist, David Axelrod. This incident is harming the Church in the USA far more than it is harming the USA itself. Transparency may defuse the situation.

Well it looks like the Pope’s interference in American politics is still top of the news cycle, so I want to repeat something. The Democrat/Media Complex deliberately set this up so faithful Catholics would be forced to choose: Trump or your faith? That’s a false dichotomy. The Pope is speaking on politics, offering his opinion only and he is not speaking ex cathedra. You are not obligated to agree with the Pope in these matters where he speaks as an ordinary human. If you are a Catholic, you can still support Trump, and disagree with what the Pope is saying about the Iran War and American politics, and still remain true to your Catholic faith. Please do not fall for the either/or con job.

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.

You were saying?

@JayVTheGreat And we have a Catholic Church that spent the past couple of decades in America partnering with criminal cartels to foment a very profitable mass migration into America. Now that Trump shut down their human trafficking at the US border, all these 'men of God' are upset.

I was raped when I was fourteen.
 That single sentence still tastes like iron and ash in my mouth every time I say it. It carved something permanent into my nervous system…the bone-deep knowledge that power plus opportunity equals predation. So when I watch the very men and women who write the laws that bind the rest of us turn out to be the same fucking predators, using congressional slush funds…our money…to buy the silence of the girls they rape and assault, my rage isn’t performative. It’s cellular. These are not “bad apples.” These are pathological specimens of the highest order: narcissistic sociopaths whose criminogenic profiles read like a textbook on elite sexual offending. Grooming, coercion, post-assault financial domination…classic power-based predation wrapped in the armor of legislative immunity. They don’t just commit the crimes; they legislate the cover-up. They draft the statutes that govern consent, reporting timelines, and statute-of-limitations while simultaneously ensuring their own victims can be paid off with taxpayer dollars and buried under NDAs thicker than the Constitution they swore to uphold. That is not hypocrisy. That is institutionalized sadism. It is the deliberate weaponization of the social contract against the most vulnerable. And the blackest part? They refuse…categorically refuse…to release the names of the congress members who have drained that secret fund. They hide behind procedural fig leaves while the rest of us are expected to live under the laws they carve out with the same hands that signed the checks to their victims. That isn’t governance. That is racketeering with a gavel. It is a criminal enterprise operating inside the very chamber that claims moral supremacy over the rest of the republic. I don’t want thoughts and prayers. I do not want fucking sympathy either. I don’t want another blue-ribbon panel. I want the names. I want the receipts. I want every single one of these legislative rapists stripped of office, stripped of pension, stripped of the illusion that their pathology entitles them to rule over the daughters of citizens they view as disposable. Because if the people who make the law are allowed to rape with impunity and then tax us to keep their mouths shut, then the law itself is just another instrument of violation. I survived once.
 This country doesn’t get to tell me I have to survive its lawmakers too.
 Not anymore.
Release the fucking names.
 Or admit that the United States Congress is running a protected pedophile-and-rapist welfare program on the public dime. 💀🔪🩸

@0hour1 No problem for me.

If you can reply to this post, let me know.

Last week David Axelrod, Obama's former senior advisor and a longtime Democrat strategist met with Pope Leo XIV. Days later, Pope Leo is attacking Trump and three cardinals appeared on 60 Minutes to attack the president. I don't believe in coincidences. This is nothing more than a coordinated attack on the president of the United States by the Vatican. And quite frankly, it is both distasteful and unChristian.
