U.S. Delays Weapons Shipments to Europe
Timothy Birdnow
If they couldn't be bothered to help us in the war with Iran why should we help them?
The babies in Europe are naturally bawling their widdow eyes out (to quote Tweetie Bir) but they need to strap on a pair and act like, well, as manly as they ever get. You chose to not help us so we choose to delay your weapon

Senate Won't Extend TPS for Haitians (We Hope)
Timothy Birdnow
Feell the Bern!
Sen. Bernie Moreno
It’s called TEMPORARY protected status (TPS) for a reason.
The Senate will not expand TPS. The House’s bill is an insult to the millions of people patiently waiting in line & a tacit approval of Biden’s border invasion where TPS became de facto amnesty. Republicans will not continue to allow wage suppressing illegal migration to destroy working Americans with high prices, healthcare shortages, housing scarcity, and degradation of our social safety nets.

Thune Won't Turn Over Doc on Brennan
Timothy Birdnow
Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune is failing to act on a request by the DOJ for transcripts and other documents to aid them in prosecuting the father of the Russian Collusion Hoax, John Brennan.
The DOJ requested the documents over two months ago and Thune is still refusing to release them.
Releasing them is a formality; Thune just has to introduce the request to the Senate for a vote, with a simple majority needed. Thune is refusing to advance the request to the Senate.
Thune claims he is trying to negotiate with Democrats to avoid a time-consuming fight that would slow other legislation.
What other legislation? Certainly not the SAVE America Act. Thune is just fine with not giving that piece of legislation an airing. He probably means the legislation giving amnesty to illegal aliens his Senate has pending.
Trump supported Thune for this post so it ultimately is on him as much as on Thune. Trump has GOT to learn these aren't businessmen trying to make money - they are strutting peacocks who are there for their own aggrandizement and in fact there is money in it for them to screw over the President. Money and good press.
Thune is one of the worst, every bit as bad as his predecessor and mentor Mitch "the bitch" McConnell.

Iran Should Have Made and Kept a Deal
Timothy Birdnow
Iran has closed the Strait of Homuz again, claiming the U.S. violated the terms of the truce by continuing to interdict Iranian shipping.
Also, Iran complained that Israel was continuing to strike Hezbollah in Lebanon. One of the things they insisted on was that Israel stop going after their proxy army there.
Get that, Pope Leo the Chicken-Hearted? Iran is admitting (well, they never tried to deny it) that Hezbollah is THEIR army by making this part of the deal. And how many Israelis has Hezbollah murdered? How many Americans, for that matter? Yet you and your Vatican stooges insist this isn't a just war because Iran didn't attack anybody!
At any rate this was entirely to be expected; it's how the Iranians negotiate. And they figure time is on their side, if they can hold out long enough idiots in our government will start pushing Trump to quit early. And they may be right.
But time isn't on their side either; they are losing billions of dollars and eventually their economy will collapse completely. I heard Victor Davis Hansen - a man who really knows his stuff about the Middle East - believes they can only hold out about ten day]s with the blockade in place. While there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth from Congress, especially the RINO wing and the dufus Libertarian types like Thomas Massie or Rand Paul, It will take the opposition a long time to get the votes to compel Trump to stop. Mike Johnson isn't going to betray the President on this. And while John Thune would gleefully do so he could well face a filibuster from his own party over it. That would be poetic; the man who refused to end the filibuster or even force a talking filibuster getting burned by his own party with it.
I would say Trump is in the catbird seat. He can now piddle around, make a string of excuses, and watch Iran slip into the seventh century again (maybe that Muhdi fellow will crawl back out of the well he fell down way back when.) Meanwhile the nations that relied so heavily on Iranian oil have made other arrangements and if they have any wisdom at all they will stick to those after the war ends. Check and mate.
I am mindful of the line in Return of the Jedi where Jabba the Hut is about to throw Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Lando Kalrissian,and Chewbacca into the Snarlack pit, to be eaten. Luke says as he is about to be pushed into the pit "you should have made a deal Jabba" and then proceeds to wipe out Jabba's whole gang.
Iran should have made a deal.

Attack of the Dildoes
I suspect the bulk of these came from Kamala Harris' private stash...
Timothy Birdnow
I mean that literally; a bunch of anit-ICE protesters in Minnesota hung a collection of the marital aids from a chain link fence and tossed them at government cars. The article fails to mention if they were new or had been previously used.
Leftists have a most unhealthy relationship with sex. They are so obsessed with it they will buy artificial penises just to chuck at passing cars. It's insane.
I wonder if that woman Bishop who promoted the use of dildoes was the official chaplain? (Can't remember her name nor find my own article about it a while back.)
They are undoubtedly the people who purchase these sacrilegious items, no doubt.
BTW According to the Oxford English Dictionary, earliest evidence for dildo is from 1590, in the writing of Robert Greene, writer and playwright.
I suspect the bulk of these came from Kamala Harris' private stash...

Men were Men and Women were Glad of it
Timothy Birdnow
We've long said young white women are the core of our national problem and this is why:
Decades of feminism and grievance promotion among them has turned them all into God-hating weirdos and as a result they are now more wedded to the Leftist cause than ever. When you stop believing in God you will believe in anything, as the saying goes.
42% of Gen. Z men say religion is "very important" to them - the highest number ever. But women?
The number of women who say it is "very important" to them is down to just 29% and falling.
Women have sold their souls to the spirit of the age and they will suffer greatly because of it in times to come.
Feminism is all about anger and so is atheism and anger is not pleasant, not for those around you and not for the person herself. Feminists are angry because they are unhappy and they are unhappy because they are violating Natural Law, and when you do that your conscience tells you plainly. Being a liberal feminist is a fast track to misery, despair, and anger.
God gives us the grace we need to overcome our circumstances and so Christians are generally conservative and much happier than liberals.
So why are boys turning to the light side? They have been discriminated against, belittled, oppressed by the society of feminazis, the Valkyrie who lord it over our schools and increasingly over all other institutions as the passive aggressive feminist types slowly take over so many institutions. Boys no longer go to college in any numbers comparable to girls. They get crumbier jobs. They are told to sit down and shut up. They are told they are lousy with privilege, privileges they can't seem to find in their own lives.
In times past they ignored all that because it got them women and women still wanted men. They no longer seem to desire men, and the ones who do want it all on their own terms. Who wants a relationship like that? An endless power struggle?
So many boys are turning to God as Christianity has always been a religion for the outcast and oppressed.
That is where you can go and be accepted, loved, and appreciated. Christians will tell the boys it's o.k. to have Y chromosomes and testosterone. They tell them that acting like boys is not patriarchal oppression.
It's a good deal for them. Oh, and Christianity offers something liberalism can't - eternal life. All the secular religion offers is a life of abuse and limited sex. Hardly worth your soul, is it?
It should be pointed out (as does this article) that young men used to identify as Democrats more than Republicans up until recently when they suddenly turned hard R. That is understandable; they saw the insanity of the Left and how the Democrats hated them. Once the Democrats came out of the closet and showed their true nature the young men were horrified. Young women less so because young women have been brainwashed for decades now.
And there is always the first story in Genesis; women tend towards being more easily seduced by evil. Men, on the other hand, are weaker and give in more easily.
At any rate this development is tough for the guys. They are increasingly isolated from female companionship as they either give in and pretend to be what they are not or go without women.
And the women will just double down on what made THEM so alone in the first place, and just grow angrier.
There's a reason why so many of the anti-ice people are women and not men. They are more likely to hate those with whom they disagree.
This is a bad situation and will only end when enough of these bitter young hags become bitter old hags and do not reproduce, thus dying off and letting demographics take their course. Problem is the young men have nobody to reproduce with either. It's a quandry.
Until men start really reasserting themselves and regain their rightful role in society things will continue to degrade. God made men men and women used to be glad of it. Now men are hiding in the shadows and women are increasingly masculinized and they LOOK more like men these days. They have grown bigger and more muscular. Men are increasingly soft and losing testosterone. That's because our society has come to promote women over men and so our herd sexual roles are reversing. That has to stop.
Men should pray on it. That, in the end, is the source of REAL power.

The ICE Man Cometh
Timothy Birdnow
Hennepin County Minnesota DA Mary Moriarty has crossed the Rubicon, charging a couple of ICE agents with crimes for doing their jobs.
The bull dyke Moriarty boasted that she had an arrest warrant and that 35-year-old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. is facing immanent arrest anywhere in the country.
The two officers pulled over and arrested a motorist who cut them off while they were driving on the shoulder of a highway in performance of their job duties. It seems fairly clear they believed they were being interfered with by said motorist. Officer Morgan pulled his gun after identifying as law officers.
This is WAY overstepping her legal authority and if she manages to arrest these two agents the SWHTF.
Maybe the Feds should arrest Moriarty? Fair is fair and this is an attempt to interfere with the legal duties of federal agents after all.
We've got to start getting tough with these creeps.

Powell Pulls a Stanton
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like Jerome Powell plans to stick around for two years after his chairmanship expires at the Fed.
He's doing this just to spite President Trump, of course.
Hopefully he'll be indicted and forced out of his seat there.
Powell's refusal to drop interest rates is not based on what is best for the economy but is intended to make economic growth sluggish to hurt the President's party and their political prospects in November. This is the Nicholas Biddle gambit. Biddle was chair of the Second Bank of the United States and he hated Andrew Jackson so purposely tried to crash the U.S. economy to drive Jackson from power. Jackson won the election anyway and subsequently closed the Bank of the U.S. (a great move) and we didn't have a national bank until the Federal Reserve was created in l913.
I would add the Federal Reserve crashed the economy in 1929 through 33 to create the Great Depression by first pumping up the money supply then contracting it sharply to drive the Republicans out of power and it worked. It handed an empire to Franklyn Roosevelt and his successors.
So if Powell stays he will only be there to make mischief and attempt to ruin the economy to hurt Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republicans. They must be discredited forever in the eyes of the American People or they will return some day and so Biddle Powell here is going to haunt his billion dollar headquarters to stalk the American economy and stick the knife in Trump's back.
Trump vows to fire him if he doesn't step down. THAT will cause a firestorm, which is why Powell will will stay until Trump has him bodily removed.
After the Civil War Secretary of War Edwin Stanton was fired by President Andrew Johnson but refused to leave, leading to a standoff where the army had to besiege his offices until Stanton emerged, holding a white flag. It was used to impeach Johnson by the radical Republicans. I suspect Powell is hoping for something similary.

Pelosi Hit Swalwell?
Timothy Birdnow
This is the kind of thing she'd do.
Hawley rightly points out Pelosi had to be aware of everything; none of what took Chitty Chitty Fang Fang out was already well-established. Hawley thinks Pelosi was holding this information for blackmail purposes, to keep Swalwell under her thumb. But it came out and so it was time to cut her loses.
As Hawley points out she did this to Biden, why not Swalwell?

Nuclear Scientists Disappearing
Timothy Birdnow
This from a post on X:
PETER DOOCY: "There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid 2024. They all reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material. Is anybody investigating this to see if these things are connected?”KAROLINE LEAVITT: "I’ve seen the report, Peter. I haven't spoken to our relevant agencies about it. I will certainly do that, and we'll get you an answer. If true, of course, that's definitely something I think this government administration would deem work worth looking into. So let me do that for you.”
Which means they know all about it and probably who is behind it. You don't just lose people with top secret classified information that way and not follow up.

While the Cat's Away
Timothy Birdnow
While we've all been busy with Iran:
And what did the vaunted Royal Navy do about it? Squat.
FTA:
Defence Secretary John Healey says three Russian submarines carried out a "covert" operation above cables and pipelines in the Atlantic, north of the UK, lasting longer than a month
In a Downing Street news conference, Healey says he deployed a warship and aircraft in response, and the Russian vessels were "monitored 24/7"
He says there is "no evidence" of any damage to UK infrastructure in the Atlantic
And in a message to Vladimir Putin, he says: "We see your activity over our cables and our pipelines, and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences"
This is not the first time the UK has accused Russia of spying close to critical undersea cables, writes Jonathan Beale, but this appears to be a more sophisticated and clandestine Russian operation
Earlier this year, the BBC looked at the Russian threat to British cables - read the InDepth piece here. You can also see our map of crucial cables and pipelines around the UK here
Why didn't they drop depth charges? Putin could hardly protest.
This proves Europe and Britain are incapable of defending themselves and need the U.S. So why do we need them?

The Dirty Little Secret
Timothy Birdnow
What the media won't tell us:
Nick Searcy
April 7 at 9:23 AM
·
From Nima Ebadi on X:
"As an Iranian, let me tell you what President Donald J. Trump is talking about here:
In Iran, if you protest, you die. Not metaphorically. Snipers on rooftops shoot people in the head and chest. In January, the regime massacred thousands in the streets, many of them young people whose only crime was demanding a normal life.
When he says Iranians are telling the U.S. "please keep bombing” he’s describing a population so desperate to be free from a regime that murders them for protesting, that they’re willing to endure war if it means the system that has terrorized them for 47 years finally falls.
You may not understand that. Most Westerners can’t. You’ve never lived in a country where your daughter can be shot in the face for not covering her hair. Where your son disappears into Evin Prison and you get a call to come pick up the body. Where the internet goes dark so the world can’t see the killing.
That’s what "they have lived in a world that you know nothing about” means.
Before the media turns this into "Trump wants to bomb civilians,” understand: the Iranian people have been begging the world to see them for years. This is the first U.S. president to say it out loud.

The Horse's Mouth

Pope Simplicio aka Leo XIV put Lebanon forth as an example of Christians and Muslims living in domestic bliss together:
Brigitte Gabriel
@ACTBrigitte
Pope Leo grew up in Chicago.
I grew up in Lebanon.
I wasn't forced to leave Lebanon because there was peaceful coexistence.
I was forced to leave Lebanon because Islamic terrorists blew up my home and killed many of the people I grew up with.
I wish the Pope would talk to the persecuted Lebanese before making ignorant statements about countries he knows very little about.

USCCB Attacks J.D. Vance Over Pope
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. Council of Catholiic Bishops is going after J.D. VAnce for his defense of President Trump over the war in Iran.
No surprise there; the USCCB has always been a leftist institution. But they attack Vance wrongly.
From the MSN article:
"For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war,” read the statement issued by Bishop James Massa, who chairs the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ doctrine committee.
But that is not what the pope has done, what the Pope has done is attack the Iran war based not on Just War Theory but on his peculiar interpretation of Just War Theory, one which essentially makes any form of war impermissible.
Among the things that make a war just is that you must have been attacked and this Pope claims that didn't happen to the U.S., completely ignoring decades of attacks by Iran and her proxies starting with the seizure of our embassy in Tehran, going through attacks on U.S. servicemen and civilians in multiple places around the globe including the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon (where we had gone to act as peacemakers), to Kobar Towers, to a host of other attacks and culminating in the Iran-backed terror attack on Israel (taking Americans hostage in the process) and two assassination attempts on President Trump. Leo ignored all that with his claim we were not attacked. They sound like attacks to me.
Also, you must attempt to limit civilian casualties and not target civilians. Mr. Trump has bent over backwards to avoid targeting civilians, or their infrastructure. He has largely limited himself to military targets and leadership. In fact had he not this war would be long over but he's tied his hands behind his back and is essentially attacking them by butting his shoulder against them. But he did that to avoid civilian casualties.
And while there has been some collateral damage the fact remains Trump has tried very hard to actually help the Iranian People, who he is trying to liberate as much as he is trying to protect our people.
The fact is the Iranian regime murdered 40,000 of their own citizens to hold onto power and neither the Pope nor the Council of Catholic Biships called them out for it, but they are eager to call out the President and Mr. Vance for resisting.
Just war theory is more than satisfied in this. In fact it is a holy quest, one that mercy and Christian love demands of us. Turning our backs on the Iranian People is the unchristian thing to do.
Also, in the era of nuclear weapons you don't just sit and wait for an enemy to attack with those weapons. Pre-emption is a necessary component of warfare in the modern era, and that should be obvious to even the dimmest among us.
The article continues:
Pope Leo has expressed opposition to the war in favor of peace negotiations and said in an April 10 social media post that those who are disciples of Christ are "never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.”
What does Pope Leo think we've been doing? Trump offered them every chance to negotiate before the war started, and has offered them repeated ceasefires so negotiations may continue. What Trump is not willing to do is be played for a chump, something the Iranians are trying to do. They want a ceasefire so they can rebuild and rearm and the USCCB and Pope Leo apparently think that is our duty, to let them.
This kind of pig-ignorant pacifism is astonishing in today's world. Christianity is not a suicide pact, nor is it a doctrine for weenies.
Let us look at some Biblical passages about such matters:
Ecclesiastes 3:8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Jeremiah 51:20"You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms;
Exodus 15:3The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.
Ephesians 6:12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Deuteronomy 20:1-4"When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’
Proverbs 21:31The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
Psalm 144:1-2Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
Romans 13:4For he (the King) is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
Psalm 144:1Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
Matthew 10:34"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Joel 3:9-10Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior.”
Joel 3:9Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.
Luke 22:36 ESV / 70 helpful votesHe said to them, "But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
Luke 12:51Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
Psalm 18:39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.
You get the idea; the Bible is chock-full of passages about warfare and the need for it. God often commanded Israel to wage wars, especially against the Amalekites, whom He ordered Israel to destroy utterly (genocide).
Warfare, though, is clearly a power granted to nations and to national governments and not to the individual. People are not to wage private wars and that is obvious. Sadly Pope Leo and the USCCB fail to understand this distinction and try to apply the passages where Jesus called for mercy and restraint to any and all situations - something not intended at all. People forgive People - nations wage wars to compel behavior. It's a world of difference.
As Rush Limbaugh used to say, this is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. You can wish it weren't so and try to not be the one to start trouble but in the end you had better be strong enough and have enough grit to finish it or you will be enslaved to the ones who don't hold to your pacifist views. (Speaking of slaves, every one of them brought to the Americas from Africa were losers in a war with other Africans or with Arab slave traders; few of them were just captured while coming home from fishing or whatnot by white slavers.) As it was once said, those who beat their swords into ploughshares will plough for those who kept their swords.
No matter how ivory-tower liberals like this Pope and the USCCB may wish it not so it is a fact and we are called to be "wise as serpents" if we are to follow Christ. That will occasionally require military action. In this case we are engaged in a very moral, righteous military action. That should be apparent even to a spiritually occluded man like Pope Leo.
But of course this isn't about Iran but about President Trump and the MAGA movement. Leo was put there to splinter the MAGA movement, to break Catholics away from it. Watch his future statements; it will often be about unity and our place in a broader world and about how we have no right to look to our own nation, even while he has condemned this President for doing precisely that.
Many Catholic theologians over the centuries have believed the False Prophet - the spiritual leader who would throw his weight behind the Beast aka Antichrist - would be a Pope. Given the sharp Left turn the Papacy has made I can truly believe that.

The Pope Owes an Apology
Timothy Birdnow
There was an absolutely dreadful article excusing Pope Leo and excoriating President Trump for getting into a tiff over Ian. This article claims the Pope "prayed for peace" and Trump jumped down his throat. Horsefeathers! This Pope has been making a concerted attack against Trump for weeks now.
Anyway I responded thusly:
Sadly no, this politicized Pontiff is not owed a single word of apology from Donald Trump nor J.D. Vance. Praying for peace is one thing but accusing the President (and thus impeaching his credibility with gullible Catholics) is quite another.
This Pope did not merely ask for peace but for America to just back down on this despite this meeting the criteria of a just war in almost every way. This Iranian regime has been at war with US since 1979 and has killed thousands of Americans, and Jews in Israel. It has promoted war throughout the Middle East, funding terrorist proxy armies like Hizbollah or Hamas or ISIS. It attempted at least twice to assassinate President Trump, an act of war. You apparently have forgotten the attack on the Marines in Lebanon, or the Kobar Towers, or the hostages taken in the U.S. embassy. And that is not even mentioning what the Iranians have done to Israel, and even their own neighbors.
Iran murdered 40,000 of their own citizens for protesting against the regime, guess you missed that.
Most of the countries in the region wanted our protection against Iran.
By any metric they posed a clear and present danger. And they themselves told us they had enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear weapons. Oh, and their use of ballistic missiles to attack Diego Garcia proved they lied about their missile range and meant they ha weapons capable of delivering nuclear warheads. Iran had been experimenting with implosion triggers to make their nukes smaller and lighter and thus they could deliver them on their weaponry. I would also add they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of missiles. They didn't build those to defend against Israel; those were and are offensive weapons.
All of this went over Pope Leo's pointy little noggin. Instead he said "god does not listen to the prayers of those fighting wars" which is sheer nonsense; He listened to King David, didn't He? He ordered Israel to implement the ban when fighting with the Canaanites, didn't He? In fact, God was angry with Saul for not obeying the ban (which was basically a genocide, the killing of all the people in Canaanite towns, including children and livestock) and drove him mad then had him fall on his own sword.
In fact God would probably be displeased with President Trump if he simply ignored the gathering crisis and left the Iranians and everyone else to their fate. We are supposed to help and protect our neighbors. That is why the state is "given the power of the sword" in the first place.
But Leo is just a mini-me of Francis and was chosen solely to act as a counterweight to Trump and hopefully peel off Catholics from MAGA. It was always said there would never be an American Pope as long as the U.S. was the world leader but that changed and they got someone from the Chicago Way specifically to go after Trump. And since Francis stacked the College of Cardinals he got his pick.
Francis was a Peronista Pope and Leo is an Alinsky Pope.
I would add Leo did this just when he was having a nice friendly visit with a Jewish Marxist atheist named David "deadfish" Axelrod, Obama's political hitman. Now, why do you suppose the Pope was meeting with Axelrod and he had not even met with Trump or anyone else in Trump's administration?
As a lifelong Catholic I was highly offended at the Pope's condemnation of the U.S. and Trump. If he wanted to pray for peace he should have prayed for peace, not pointed fingers. The Papacy is, by agreement with the Italian government going back to the foundation of Italy, supposed to stay out of politics.
If this Pope had a right to speak his mind (and I don't deny that, but he should have said it was his personal opinion) fine but so too does the President. BTW many Catholics misunderstand ex cathedra and think the Pope is ALWAYS infallible, which is exactly what Leo was counting on. No Pope has speaken ex cathedra since 1959.
The author here says the Pope is "trying to save souls" yet not one single thing he said has anything to do with saving souls. If this Poope wanted to save souls he would talk about transgenderism (a sin), homosexuality (a sin), promiscuity (a sin), crime (a sin), heavy taxation (the sin of theft), and a host of other such things. But he chooses to attack Trump over a just war. No, this Pope will have to be the one answering to God for not supporting the protection of the Iranian People, and the Israelis, and everyone else. It was his duty to call out the Iranian Mullahs but he's more worried about his precious New World Order.
Pope Leo is the one who owes an apology.

The Cadillac of Nuclear Reactors
Timothy Birdnow
Not sure how much power they will put out but I'm sure these will be the classiest nuclear reactors around. I wonder where they'll put that famous grill...
And here in the States we're stuck using Fords or GMC...

A Little Insurance Policy
Timothy Birdnow
I've long argued this; the Democrats (and probably the Republicans too) use blackmail to control their politicians and if you play ball you do well but if you buck them they destroy you. Swalwell is proof of that - he no doubt fell afoul of his handlers. This collapse of Swalwell was too fast and orchestrated.
Speaking on Jesse Waters Miller gave the game away:
"[The] real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail, It’s got a blackmail file on all of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it, That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is.”
He's right but don't excuse the Republicans. Remember Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert? Hastert was a good little boy as Speaker, never moving any controversial legislation and basically leading a do-nothing Republican Congress. We now know he was being blackmailed by a young man he sodomized when he was a wrestling coach and nobody in Congress apparently knew about it. Ri-ight.
I submit to you that everyone knew about it and it was the fact Hastert could be easily controlled that led to his getting the nod to be Speaker. In many ways our politics are a sham, a kabuki theater to make it appear we have two warring parties but really both ships sail in the same direction.
Only Trump came from outside and refused to play along, which is why they have tried to destroy him with such venom.
I think Washington is a snake pit, and I think blackmail is as common as coffee there.
The Democrats hardly ever suffer their members going it alone, bucking the official party line. That isn't happening by accident. Many Democrats know, for instance, that the public hates illegal immigration and I am sure many in Congress would have loved to have taken a harder line against it but the Party says no. So they go along with the open borders policy, and risk losing their seats. Oh, and their country too. They clearly are more afraid of something else.
Probably blackmail.
How many others have sold their souls , and are hiding some bad stuff in D.C.? We know Congress had a "bimbo eruption squad" and maintained a publicly-funded account to pay off people who made accusations of sexual misconduct against members. If they were paying off women/men/horses that means they knew about who was doing that kind of thing, and yet nobody in Congress spilled the beans about it. What does that tell us?
It tells me they are ALL compromised. All of them.
Miller is right.
