THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🍿
Piers Morgan — Iran is a threat to USA?
🇺🇸 American Prof — No
Piers — But they fund terrorist groups against Israel in Gaza
🇺🇸 American Prof — “So you are saying that Iran is a threat to Israel and that any threat to Israel is a threat to the US. Your argument is pathetic.” 🔥
Bro literally owned Piers, look at him almost crying 😭😭😭

The Latin parish priest of the last entirely Christian village in the West Bank appealed for the solidarity of Christians worldwide in the face of new attacks by “fanatical Israeli settlers” seeking to displace the local population.
Father Bashar Fawadleh issued an appeal on Saturday, March 21, telling ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News, that the lands seized this week by Israeli settlers “belonged to the people of Taybeh and were, moreover, our private property.”
These incursions, he continued, in addition to constituting “a violation of international law and of the rights of the local community,” represent an affront that, for the village’s inhabitants, goes far beyond a mere legal or political matter.
“This story is about the life of a Christian community that has been present in this land for more than 2,000 years,” Fawadleh said.
Taybeh is the modern name of the biblical village of Ephraim, where Jesus went to rest shortly before his passion (cf. John 11:54). In addition to being the only entirely Christian village in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza, it is also renowned for its beer.
In recent days, Israeli settlers have seized areas near the village’s quarry and cement factory. These encroachments have been ongoing for some time. In July 2025, settlers set fire in the area near the ruins of St. George Church, built in the historic Byzantine style and dating back to the fifth century, where the local community typically holds religious celebrations.
Several vehicles were also set ablaze, and the attackers “painted hateful graffiti,” according to sources in Taybeh. Christian leaders have demanded immediate action from Israeli authorities and called upon the international community to halt the escalating violence.
When asked what message he would like to send to Pope Leo XIV and to all Christians around the world, he said: “We ask not only for compassion, but for solidarity.”
Fawadleh, whose mother was born in Venezuela but returned to the West Bank at the age of 16, told ACI Prensa: “As a church, our mission is to help people remain in their land, to live with dignity, and to keep the Christian presence alive in the Holy Land. Our presence here is a living testament to the roots of Christianity — where it all began.”
According to the parish priest, “when the land is threatened, people become fearful.” The local community simply wants “to live in peace, with dignity, and on our own land,” he said, noting that the farmers of Taybeh are even afraid to go out to their fields.
“This is a matter that concerns the entire Church. We ask for your prayers, and for your visits to the Holy Land and to the ‘living stones’ in Taybeh and throughout the Holy Land,” he said.
“And your support, so that Christians may remain here through education, housing, and employment opportunities. For the Christian presence in the Holy Land is not merely a local matter,” he pointed out.
“For the truth is one; it is not a matter of distorting it. Thank you; we will remain in contact and united in prayer,” the priest said.

I yearn for the days when we had leaders like Mattis, Colin Powell, Mark Miley, Petraeus, etc.
They had their faults, but at they knew what they were doing and at their core, they loved this country.

Absolute bombshell. General Jim Mattis completely destroys Trump's Iran war strategy on live TV. He says hitting 15,000 targets means nothing without a real plan, and calls the demands for unconditional surrender and regime change absolute "delusional nonsense."

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

Every day I watch the chaos in this country and think about how many people got it completely wrong on Joe Biden, especially Democrats and the media.
Democrats turned on him and bought into a manufactured narrative, while the press trashed stability, mocked experience, and helped normalize a convicted felon… and now act like none of it happened.
A lot of people owe him an apology.
Anyone else feel this anger? 🤷

Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a brilliant breakdown of the SAVE Act. Trump and MAGA Republicans know their policies are crushing the working class but instead of changing those policies they want to disenfranchise voters. Americans say #NoPayToVoteSAVEAct Democrats need to hold the line.

@USBishopsData He also has classmates from St. John Vianney seminary who are bishops.

Editorial note: I would expect Fr. Mullen's principal consecrator to be Blaise Cardinal Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago. The Diocese of Belleville is one of the five suffragan dioceses of the Metropolitan Province of Chicago. I would expect the principal co-consecrators to be Archbishop Michael McGovern of Omaha, who was the ninth Bishop of Belleville, and Bishop Edward Braxton, Bishop Emeritus of Belleville.
These haven't been announced yet, so we'll wait and see.
U.S. Bishops Tracker@USBishopsData
Fr. Godfrey Mullen, O.S.B. will receive episcopal consecration and be solemnly installed as the tenth Bishop of Belleville on May 1, 2026, the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Belleville, Illinois.
