Kabuki Theatre Law
Timothy Birdnow
Conservative Court my a, er, foot!
US Supreme Court blocks the Trump administration’s use of Alien Enemies Act
SCOTUS ruled in an unsigned decision (cowards) by a whopping 7 to 2 margin that Trump must have hearings and trials for each and every one of the probably 30 MILLION illegal aliens he seeks to deport.
I must ask, why is the Court now demanding an impossible legal burden on the directing of foreign policy by the President of the United States? They have ruled in the past that this is outside of the scope of the Coourt. Remember, these are NOT American citizens, nor do they play them on t.v. (well, maybe they do the latter). As such they do not have the right to access the legal system as do citizens. Their rights are limited.
Let me ask; did the Court rule this way against Harry Truman when he evicted 2 million, or against Dwight Eisenhower when he evicted three? Did they demand hearings for everyone deproted under Barack Hussein Obama?
Were there legal precedents restraining the deportation of Irish back in the 19th century?
This ruling is legally novel and not at all rooted in American law or American tradition.
In 2023 this same court affirmed that Joe Biden had final authority over immigration and enforcement when conservatives sued to make him enforce the laws on the books. In fact SCOTUS said they had no authority to restrain him. So why have they changed now?
Only Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito dissented.
What can you say about the rest? I have never trusted any of them; I openly opposed John Roberts as a Deep Stater when he was elevated, and I knew the three Trump appointees were also deep from the bowels of the Progressive insiders club. Coney-Barrett has proven herself to be one of the good old boys club, and the Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch always worried me. Now we know; they are all clones, Ruling Class stooges. Sadly these stooges aren't so funny. I prefer Moe, Larry, and Curly.
The Court gave Trump a couple of wins earlier in the year, and so I figured they would pull the big shaft on him.
From the Al Jazeera article:
Granted, this is still only a temporary injunction and the Court may eventually rule in Trump's favor but when?
This makes me very, very suspicious; it kicks the can down the road, probably until after the mid-term elections. That way the Republicans don't get the benefit of having evicted all these people as they promised and the media will say Trump broke his vow. If they ruled on it now many of these illegals would be gone and Trump could say "mission accomplished". Also, many of these illegals are going to vote in the next election despite it being illegal. You know that is true.
I've long argued our governmental system is rigged in such a way as to keep politics balanced on a knife-edge. The reason is it empowers those in power; nobody dares kick out the Ruling Class because otherwise the opposition gets into power. We are seeing that now with that rotten little punk David Hogg who is being forced out by the Democrats for challenging the status quo. I get it; I'd kick him out too were I they. But the point is he was trying to radicalize the party and they know that would be a mistake. They've long operated on this principle of being in power but not by too much lest it galvanize the enemy.
Sun Tzu put it thusly; the general should always leave a Golden Bridge of Retreat lest the enemy fight to the death. So the key to the Ruoling Class staying in power is to keep the fight really close but the left always winning, especially with their policy initiatives. And that has been the pattern all my life; Democrats are the aggressors and Republicans try to hide and hope they can survive the onslaught. Guys like John Thune or Mitch McConnell (or in this case John Roberts) will talk a good game and use the closeness of the political process to keep the voters on their sides while actively working against our wishes.
I think this shows SCOTUS is a Deep State entity.
So why did Trump's appointments wind up sucking? Because he listened to the Federalist Society, which is more Libertarian than anything. Many of it's members call themselves moderates. It's increasingly obvious they were giving Trump some very bad advice.
At any rate his picks have all betrayed America at some point. The two true conservatives left on the Court remain ever faithful, but they are outnumbered by the ambitious Deep State scoundrels, alas.
Trump is right; he cannot give 30 MILLION people court hearings, and he can't hold them for years awaiting those hearings. This was why 'catch and release' was started in the first place; the courts ruled they couldn't hold these people indefinitely but they also couldn't kick them out of the country. So Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and Barrett and Roberts have simply reinstated catch and release with this ruling.
Trump needs to house the worst of these people he's trying to evict next door to every Justice who joined in with this ruling. Make them live with the consequences of their actions. He can buy those houses that surround the Justices homes and make them group-living centers for illegals. Then those jerks would get a taste of what so many Americans have had to endure.
Again, this is a novel legal theory they have embraced and it really should not be obeyed.
BTW the American Civil Liberties Union filed the original complaint; I'd like to know how they have standing in this case? whenever our side files such lawsuits they are always denied based on standing but when leftists with no actual connection to the case file the courts bend over backwards to allow it.

From the Al Jazeera article:
The justices asserted that they had a right to weigh in on the case, in order to prevent "irreparable harm” to the migrants and assert their jurisdiction in the case. Otherwise, they pointed out a deportation could put the migrants beyond their reach.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh went a step further in a separate opinion, calling on the Supreme Court to issue a final and binding ruling in the matter, rather than simply grant this one petition.
"The circumstances call for a prompt and final resolution, which likely can be provided only by this Court,” he said, agreeing with the majority’s decision.
Thomas and Alito, in their dissent, argued the Supreme Court had not afforded enough time to a lower court to rule on the emergency petition.

Soros Behind the Boer Genocide
Timothy Birdnow
This is interesting; it seems our old friend George soros had a big hand in the growing hostility and genocide against South Africa's white farmers (Boers, or Afrikaaners).
Yes, it seems Soros' Open Society helped fund and foment the farm attacks.
I'm not surprised. This is why the Left blew a gasket when Trump granted asylum to 59 terrorized farmers.

Bratt Takes the Fifth (and not the Whiskey Kind)
Timothy Birdnow
The noose is tightening around the throat of former Trump special prosecutor Jack Smith.
NEW: AP reporting that House Judiciary Committee interviewed Jay Bratt, former top DOJ official and Jack Smith's lead thug in classified docs case, on Wednesday. Bratt repeatedly invoked Fifth Amendment
It was the Bratty one who pushed the Mar-a-Lago raid over objections from FBI agents and others. He also has been accused of abusing his authority to extort false testimony against President Trump.
Bratt was wise to invoke the fifth; he would have either have to incriminate himself or perjur himself.
At any rate the crimes continue to creep up the ladder and I suspect soon Mr. Smith will feature promiently in them. I hope so; I have little doubt Smith broke laws in his witch hunt to take out Trump.

Nail, Nail, the Gang Green's All Here!

Everything Looks Like a Nail
This from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:
Everything Looks Like a Nail
Posted on May 15, 2025 by Tony Heller
Hansen acknowledges that recent warming was caused by a reduction in clouds, then tries to blame it on the burning of fossil fuels. When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
The only thing which could have caused recent high sea surface temperatures is a reduction in clouds. There is no physical mechanism for carbon dioxide to rapidly warm water.

What's in a Number?
Timothy Birdnow
Just a word on the phrase that has everyone all abuzz about James Comey.
The term "86" came from the hospitality industry and it meant to dump or discard. AT first (some time during the '30's) it was a term for out of stock, but later it became a verb for uneaten portions that would be thrown out. From there the term was applied to unruly or otherwise trouble-making customers being ejected from the restaurant.
But a dictionary of slang has this to say:
I've also found it said that the term comes out of the Korean war where the F-86 Sabre fighter jet would shoot down an enemy aircraft. It "86'd" them.
The phrase also may have begun at a Prohibition-era bar in New York where unruly patrons were tossed out through the door at 86 Barrow Street.
I would add this is not at all a new use of the phrase. I direct you to the 1987 film Angel Heart starring Mickey Roarke where Roarke is being interviewed by the Ne Orleans police about a dead musician " He was into voodoo, they 86 one another two a week." The film was set in the late forties, I might add. Not sure how much research went into that phrase, but I suspect they got it right.
Much like the Devil having many names the phrase has many meanings - and origins.
The phrase is rather like the term "5-oh" for cops; that has nothing to do with anything but a television show about police in Hawaii, but it's now urban slang for all police.
Whatever it's origin I would make two conclusions:
1.In the end the ambiguity of the phrase protects Comey from prosecution - which he undoubtedly understood at the time and
2.Comey knew damned good and well what he was saying and what the implications were. He was FBI Director, after all, and studied crime extensively - and criminals.
One can argue, given Comey's witch hunt to take out Trump, that he was signaling to his compadres to set an assassination effort in motion. I doubt it but it certainly can be and should be looked at.
Why? If nothing else we need to have mutual assured destruction and the Left has waged an assymetric war for decades now against us and we never respond. Comey himself was part of the plot to take Trump out. So there is reason to suspect him of plotting further "for the good of the country" but even if we think what he did was innocent (and if so why did he take it down?) he still deserves the measure of what he gave Trump. The Left often uses lawfare as punishment; they don't care about getting a conviction (the cherry on top) so much as draining the target financially and emotionally and every other way. So Comey deserves a touch of that. If the Left sees that happen enough they will stop pulling it themselves.
Mutual Assured Destruction.
Make Comey speak to the FBI just like he made others, and if there are any inconsistencies charge him with lying to them. He did it plenty. Put him on the witness stand before congress, before a grand jury, etc. and make him fear a perjury trap. Make him spend money defending himself. It's not unfair or wrong; he did this to others on many occasions.
What of Christian forgiveness, one asks. I reply with "what of justice". Comey cheated justice and this is just what he deserves. We needn't hate the man but he should answer for his crimes, just as Al Capone went to Alcatraz for a mickey-mouse crime of tax evasion. Capone went to prison not for his REAL crimes, but for what they could get him on. That is where we are with these Deep State guys like Comey.
If we make an example of him and some others than they will get the message; don't go there!
And by pressuring him we are shaking the tree, and who knows what fruit will fall to the ground? What has Comey hidden away? Who else can be exposed for REAL crimes?
Much like the harlot of Revelation, Comey has poured the wine of corruption and now must drink a bowl. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

From there the term was applied to unruly or otherwise trouble-making customers being ejected from the restaurant.
But a dictionary of slang has this to say:
According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means " to kill, to murder; to execute judicially ," likely referring to the size of a standard grave being 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long and 6 feet deep.

Federal Judge Tosses Military Border Crossing Charges
Timothy Birdnow
A federal judge hs dismissed most arrests in the Federal zone along the border with Mexico in yet another brazen effort to thwart the President's efforts to Make America Safe Again.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, the old saying goes, and these people KNEW they were committing a crime just by crossing the border without going through the proper entry points. This is utter bullshit from this judge.
I would point out that many people have been charged over the years with trespassing on military land, often on snowmobiles, and have actually gone to prison for doing so. They had no way of knowing they were tespassing at the time, but that was no excuse, the courts have said repeatedly. But if you are an illegal alien in the process of committing a crime anyway you get a free pass, apparently.
Something must be done to rein in this out-of-control judiciary.
A federal judge hs dismissed most arrests in the Federal zone along the border with Mexico in yet another brazen effort to thwart the President's efforts to Make America Safe Again.
The order from a federal magistrate judge, Gregory B. Wormuth, added to the confusion and legal turmoil that have gripped New Mexico in the month since President Trump declared a ribbon of land along the 180-mile length of the state’s southern border to be an Army base.
Around 400 migrants had been charged with willfully violating security regulations — misdemeanor charges that can carry up to a year in jail. The arrests, which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was praising just last Friday, had swamped local jails and every day brought dozens of shackled migrants into a federal courtroom to face the novel charges.
"When you cross illegally, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Mr. Hegseth said in a social-media message.
But Judge Wormuth, a former federal prosecutor, said the federal government had failed to show that the migrants actually knew they were unlawfully entering a restricted military area. He has dismissed charges against 98 migrants so far as he works through the docket.
"The United States provides no facts from which one could reasonably conclude that the Defendant knew he was entering” the New Mexico National Defense Area, the newly declared military installation, Judge Wormuth ruled.

Less Illegals = Less Murder
Timothy Birdnow
I guess it's the sanctuary city status that has all the good illegal aliens flocking to Denver that is quelling all the murders then?
Newly Released Report Says Homicides Dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025

Newly Released Report Says Homicides Dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025
DENVER (KDVR) — Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association . It's a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.
Why do I think Denver still won't end their fondness for illegal aliens and their desire to harbor them?

The Dog Whistler
Timothy Birdnow
Remember James Comey? He is now openly calling for Trump to be assassinated,posting on Instagram "86 47". 86 means kill or murder of course and Trump is the 47th President of the United States.
Kash Patel is opening an investigation into this; it is a crime to threaten to kill the President of the United States. And while this would probably be a harmless blowing off of steam for some average Joe and thus not investigated, a man of Comey's stature and connections and his open hatred of Donald Trump makes one suspect he was passing along an order to terminate with prejudice. Comey had been the Director of the FBI and was sacked by President Trump for plotting against him.
We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.
— FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) May 15, 2025
The medi and Democrats take every thing Donald Trump says as a "dog whistle" so why should we not take what Comey said as anything but? Sounds to me like he's putting out the call to would-be assassins. And don't forget this guy was Director of the FBI; he knows the dangers of loose lips. I doubt Comey says anything that he doesn't intend.
We either have to say Comey is evil or stupid. He's playing for stupid now, saying he had no idea what 86 47 meant. I seriously doubt that. You don't get where he was by being stupid. That makes him evil.
United States Code Title 18, Section 871 makes it a felony to threaten the President of the United States. It makes "Any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm" a crime punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
The big problem is that it will have to be proven Comey KNOWINGLY did this. He is claiming ignorance of the meaning of "86" naturally (he's been a lawyer all his life and knows the statute.)
So he'll probably walk on this, but since he wanted to go back into the fray Mrs. Patel and Bourngino may well start looking deep into Mr. Comey's affairs - and I suspect there are a few skeletal remains in there.
Maybe this guy is just stupid after all.

I got good news yesterday; my wife's surgeon FINALLY lifted positioning restrictions on her. She has been bed-ridden at 30* or less for nine full weeks now! As of yesterday that is over.
That means physical therapy can start doing real work with her. She will be getting out of bed and they can start teaching her to walk again.
Poor Cathy has suffered terribly through this and it isn't over; she still has a wicked infection in her nether region, for instance, but it's getting better. She is still on a feeding tube and will remain so for months more at a minimum. But at least she is able to sit up - she'll be able to eat by mouth again to a greater degree.
So yesterday was a banner day!
On the flip side my 94 year old father was taking out his trash (he lives alone) and fell flat on his face on the concrete porch. Broke his nose and busted his face up. My brother tells me he looks like a club fighter who lost and badly. Brian took him to an urgent care facility and they x-rayed him and said his bones were fine. They didn't recommend an MrI so he's just got to recover as best as he can.
He's obstinate and won't wear the life alert I got him. So when he fell he was unable to get back in the house. He had to crawl on his belly until he got inside. I'm hoping this will teach him to keep the thing on him.
At any rate he's fine, if a bit worse for wear. So all is as right with the world as is possible these days.
Thank you all for your prayers and concern!

Identity Theft and the Mark of the Beast
Timothy Birdnow
I had to spend a trillion bucks and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!
$1 trillion of pandemic relief was lost to fraud, and nearly every American's personal data is for sale online: '60 Minutes'
Blaze News
How much you want to bet this mostly wound up back in Democrat coffers? How much of that billion bucks Kamala spent came from this?
Much of the problem stems from identity theft and foreign actors using stolen identities to obtain disaster relief funds.
I know I'm sounding apocalyptical these days, but it does make one wonder; all this identity theft via the worldwide web is going to force the government into a drastic solution. There will wind up having to be some sort of identifying marker placed on the individual so they can legally verify who they are. A QR code on hand or forehead (invisible except to a scanner, of course) would allow people to prove they are who they claim to be, and anyone without such a code would by necessity be forced out of the legitimate commercial market. For a time a black market would thrive but it would eventually be squashed (government doesn't get it's cut). The Book of Revelations is quite clear "No one should be able to buy or sell unless he bears the mark of the name of the Beast or the number of its name." That would essentially be a death sentence in modern times for those who refuse to take the mark since all commerce will be conducted with computers in some fashion - even in brick and mortar stores. But receiving the mark will be an eternal death sentence - damnation. So many will die and suffer for it.
But I see no way to stop it. And it's all going to be in the interest of stopping computer hacking and identity theft.
That is why I believe the Second Coming will be followed by an EMP that will take out the entire electric grid.
Matthew 24:29 states:
Which could be from smoke from the war blotting out natural light. But you will notice there is no suggestion of artificial light either.
In fact the Roman Catholic Church has always argued there would be three days of darkness following Armageddon, and artificial light won't work. What does that sound like?
Of course if Jesus returns with an EMP then the whole corrupt system of things will break down - all the computers will die.
Matthew 24:27
Such lightning would take out our power. We've seen this before.
At any rate the coming of AI presents an existential threat to the human soul itself and I am of a mind to believe God won't tolerate that for long. We are trying to create a false god to supercede Him.
At any rate I suppose I've preached enough now. Suffice it to say this case of stolen identity to steal taxpayer funds is probably just the tip of the iceberg in terms of identity theft and no society will long tolerate such things. Actions are coming and those actions almost certainly will put some variation of the Mark into practice. Maybe not fully as yet,but the time is fast approaching. Be warned.

Racial Cleansing in South Africa
Timothy Birdnow
The government of South Africa has spilled the beans on their real intent in trying to prevent white people from fleeing their hellhole country.
They put out this statement:
in other words the predominantly black South African government is planning genocide, or near enough. We've heard these kinds of words many times from Communists and from tribal rulers who have gone on to massacre their minorities. How is this any different from statements made by, say, the Hutu before they massacred the Tutsi in Rwanda? The Hutus said much the same. So did Hitler about Jews. So did the Turks about the Armenians. So did almost every tyrant who massacred his minorities.
Anyone who thinks the Afrikaaners are somehow "privileged" is batcrap crazy; they are the Atlases of South Africa, and the only reason the nation hasn't descended into warfare and poverty is the middle class Boers running those farms and factories and the rest.
By the way, when the Boers first settled there there were few black people in the region. The original Dutch settlers left Cape Town and headed inland to the higlands. The land was largely empty (thanks to proximity to the Zulus, who were dreaded by the other tribes of the region). so the Boers settled and built farms and cities and established several independed countries like Transvaal or the Orange Free State. Briain, ever greedy for land, eventually swallowed these countries and it was at that point the Bantu (the local name for black tribes other than Zulu) started migraating south to take jobs offered by the British. The whites - both Anglo and Boer (Duttch for "husbandman" or farmer) , remained in charge as the ruling class while the population of bantu kept swelling. In fear of being overrun the government of South Africa instituted the despised Apartheid rules, which were little different from the Jim Crow laws in many states in America at the time. But America ended those in 1964 and South Africa refused to bend with the times (why would they, being so outnumbered?) Yes, there were differneces; Bantu had to have work cards and show them to enter white areas, unlike in the U.S. where black folks officially had the right to go anywhere but in practice would be arrested in a white neighborhood after dark or whatnot. But in the end international economic pressure forced the white government to step down and let the communist African National conference take power.
I once read that the rock keyboardist Manfred Mann could not legally go home - ever - because then he would be offically under the boycott. So he had to stay in Britain to ply his trade. That's how it was during the days of the boycott, which went on from 1954 until 1990 when the Botha government ended it and allowed national elections which put the white minority permanently under the thumb of the people who hated them.
The massacre has taken much longer than I ever thought it would but I never doubted we'd see a genocide. This situation was ripe for one.
At any rate how is it "justice" to attack, murder, and disenfranchise farmers just because your own people didn't have the wherewithall to build your own farms or businesses? This is the Communist ethos.
South Africa was once a great nation. It had atomic weapons, for instance, meaning it could really do things. Now it is a crime-riddled third world hellhole, and that is because the backbone of South Africa's middle class has been systematically repressed by a tribal collectivist government that seeks vengeance on anyone not of their own persuasion. And the world is fine with that as long as it's white people suffering. If, say, Germany were to act in this fashion towards immigrants does anyone think we wouldn't hear howling and gnashing of teeth? We've heard that about Donald Trump expelling CRIMINALS who invaded our country illegally, for crying out loudo! But because these people have a Duttch accent and their parents were slow to adopt modern racial thinking automatically makes them evil and deserving of what they get.
THAT my friends is the true evil. This is the nastiest of Bolshevism/Fascism, but it's black on whitte.

Putin Bags on Turkey
Timothy Birdnow
Putin has bagged on peace talks with Zelensky that were scheduled to be held in Turkey.
Increasinglly it appears Putin is stalling for time, which suggests to me he knows the Ukrainians are nearing the end of their resistance to the Russian army.
Since Putin is a no-show Trump isn't going to waste time there. Rubio MAY show up (or not) just as Putin is sending an underling himself.
Zelensky shouldn't show up either; it makes him look craven. He should send an underling.
It is increasingly onvious that Putin isn't going to make a credible peace offering (and likely Zelensky isn't going to accept any deal he'll offer). If Trump is serious about settling this (and he appears to be) he will have to impose some very strict sanctions on Russia, I suspect.
The reality is this thing has dragged on way too long and now neither side will accept a stalemate. I fear it will drag on to the bitter, bitter end (and the Ukraine will be forcibly returned to the Russian orbit) unless there is some sort of direct involvement from foreign powers, thus triggering WWIII.
This situation is extremely dangerous and I doubt a diplomatic solution will now work. It would have all along but the Biden Administration and the Europeans wanted this war. Now it will have to grind to it's terrible conclusion.

Growing Up Alcatraz
Timothy Birdnow
Should Trump reopen Alcatraz? this author thinks so.
This was a kid who grew up on the island, a child of an employee of the place. He gives an interesting birds-eye view of the place.

And His Mouth was the Mouth of aLion
Timothy Birdnow
Have I judged the new Pope too harshly? Perhaps. Here is an essay at Canada Free Press arguing Pope Leo may be quite different from what I think.
The author - David Martin - digs up quotes from the new Pontiff that suggest he may be far, far better than the previous occupant of the Cathedra of Peter.
A few tidbits:
Good points all but I still have grave doubts. Remember, Pope Francis replaced a whopping 80% of the cardinals before he shook off his mortal coil. And of the remnant who were over the hill, 117 of them were not allowed to vote thanks to a rule change made by Pope Paul VI in the seventies. So All most of the voting cardinals were Bergoglia men.
Mathematics is mathematics and human psychology is human psychology. Of course there is tne Holy Spirit, whom Catholics believe chooses the Pope but the Holy Spirit may well PUNISH the Church by allowing a bad one into power. Certainly the Church has been failing in her primary mission which is the salvation of souls, not the promotion of social identity politics, as it has become. The Church under Francis has become the Church of Laodecia, neither hot nor cold. Jesus said since it is so he would "spew it from my mouth". How better to spew it than by appointing a bad Pope?
And of course I have pointed to the speed of this conclave as evidence the decision had largely already been made. I find it hard to believe Prevost was chosen at random, or even by the Holy Spirit. There would have been great resistance to him had that been the case; there ALWAYS is great resistance to anyone whom God has annointed.
We also have some tweets and other things from the former Cardinal Prevost that suggest he's a Progressive and a man of the worldly mind. He has condemned our building a wall on the border, for instance, which is purely his opinion. I would remind him of Nehemiah, the Prophet, who has one of the Books of the Old Testament named after him and who was praised as for doing the work of God. Nehemiah's claim to fame was BUILDING A WALL around Jerusalem to protect the People. Yet Prevost condemns Trump for doing what Nehemiah did.
Don't let your guard down folks; give him a chance but see the fruits of his actions and words, not just the tenor of his speech.
The Catholic Church has a folklore belief that the False Prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelations would be a Pope, or rather an anti-Pope. Like the Antichrist he would probably appeal to all segments of the population for a time, then turn heretic aka hard left. He would give all his authority and power to the antichrist. One wonders about any new Pope these days, most especially after Fatima and the warnings made there.
Isaac Newton is known as the world's greatest physicist, and he was (I know many will argue Einstein, who was indeed great, but he was building on the shoulders of Newston) but he was first and foremost an Episcopal priest and his work in physics was merely a sideline to his real passion, which was the study of Bible prophecy. He had a project to determine the parousia, the second coming of Christ. he analyzed all the data in the Bible, timelines, dates, everything. He determined that it was all going down in 2060, just thirty five years from now. If he was off a couple of decades then this new Pope could well be the false prophet. Leo XIV is only 69, meaning he could be alive in twenty years if it happens in '46 rather than '60. (One suspects the numbe 666 entered into Newton's calculations in this instance.)
I don't know about all that,but I do know that the times most certainly fit the prophecies; Man is gambling with our own existence, playing with forces well beyond our capabilities. The transhumanists and their insane ideas of melding with computers and genetic manipulation, the rise of AI ("And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the Beast or the number of his name" Rev. 13:5), the increasing availability of nuclear weapons, the insanity of geoengineering to "stop" a largely fictitious climate crisis, weather control efforts, etc. Plus the complete deterioration of moral and social codes with "transgenderism" being promoted despite it's complete lack of scientific basis or spiritual value (Do not be deceived neither...nor homosexuals nor the effeminate..shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven 1Corinthians 6:9), the rise of homosexuality ("they have changed the incorruptible for the corruptible...so God gave them over to vile passions, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another" 1Romans 25-27, We seem to be violatting all of these things. In fact the Apostle Paul pretty much described the modern human:
Sounds quite modern.
And all of this is what the Catholic Church is supposed to be fighting against. But instead it seems more interested in joining in the party. Oh, and getting those donations being made by the remnant that is left.
The primary purpose of the Church is the salvation of souls;all the rest is mere window dressing. Yes, physical charity and helping people is an honorable and worthwhile goal as Jesus did that too, but Jesus isn't so much remembered or venerated for saving people from poverty or illness or even raising them from the dead but for dying on the Cross so Man could be saved from Hell and join Him in heaven. Salvation is job #1, yet the Church no longer concerns itself with that. Go to any Catholic church and you will hear them drone on about how we need to be nicer to people and how to be better every day, like some sort of Norman vincent Peale homily. This is a complete dereliction of duty by the Church; they are supposed to save SOULS first and foremost. Now people are going to damnation simply because the Church isn't telling them not to.
I look at the new Pope and think about all this. Maybe I'ma a bit of a nerd, but I really do. I try to look at the times and compare them to previous times. Yes, we've always had a lot of the things we are seeing now, but we now have the TOOLS to turn these nickel and dime conceits into monsters. We know Covid, for instance, was created in a lab, and that out of sheer hubris by some in our ruling class. How much worse is waiting as a gift from Lucifer to rebellious humans? Where was the Church in calling Gain of Function research out? That was and remains a direct challenge to God Himself. But the Church is afraid since they took so much heat over Gallileo (and they weren't even wrong on that - they simply asked Gallileo to teach Copernicanism as a theory, not as fact. Gallileo was the Michael Mann of his day, promoting his opinion as established fact and attacking anyone, including his boss the Pope, who cautioned patience to resolve the matter satisfactorally.
So now the Church just stammers when some obviously dangerous and morally disreputable idea comes up. Can't be called "anti-science" can we? So the runway train continues to drag souls into Hell and the Church is more concerned with blessing gay unions or with giving women a greater roll, or some other thing that promotes the darkness in the end. The real issues go untouched.
Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach thereunto, as the Good Book says. The Church is supposed to be repooving, not enabling.
So we have to wait and see what the new Pope will do. Let us all pray he is a rightous Pontiff and not the one who leads us all into darkness.
Just this Pope's name is ominous, as the quote at the beginning points out. Also:
1Peter 5:8:
(Rev 13:1). The beast "was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion"
Have I judged the new Pope too harshly? Perhaps. Here is an essay at Canada Free Press arguing Pope Leo may be quite different from what I think.
The author - David Martin - digs up quotes from the new Pontiff that suggest he may be far, far better than the previous occupant of the Cathedra of Peter.
A few tidbits:
"Communism has penetrated even Christian circles disguised as solidarity. It is our pastoral duty to expose it.” Pope Leo XIV
[...]
The new pope opposes woke gender ideology, saying that "It seeks to create genders that don’t exist.” He criticizes the media and cultural trends for fostering "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel,” especially the "homosexual lifestyle” and "same-sex partners with adopted children.” Accordingly, he fully adheres to the traditional Church teaching of marriage being between one man and one woman.
Pope Leo also shows signs of wanting to bring about a liturgical reform. Cardinal Prevost through the years said the Traditional Latin Mass, which Francis warred against with all his might. On May 12, Newsmax reported:
"Several Vatican sources have indicated that Leo will soon lift restrictions on the Latin Mass.

The transhumanists and their insane ideas of melding with computers and genetic manipulation, the rise of AI ("And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the Beast or the number of his name" Rev. 13:5), the increasing availability of nuclear weapons, the insanity of geoengineering to "stop" a largely fictitious climate crisis, weather control efforts, etc. Plus the complete deterioration of moral and social codes with "transgenderism" being promoted despite it's complete lack of scientific basis or spiritual value (Do not be deceived neither...nor homosexuals nor the effeminate..shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven 1Corinthians 6:9), the rise of homosexuality ("they have changed the incorruptible for the corruptible...so God gave them over to vile passions, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another" 1Romans 25-27, We seem to be violatting all of these things. In fact the Apostle Paul pretty much described the modern human:
"people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy”Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof"
Sounds quite modern.
And all of this is what the Catholic Church is supposed to be fighting against. But instead it seems more interested in joining in the party. Oh, and getting those donations being made by the remnant that is left.
The primary purpose of the Church is the salvation of souls;all the rest is mere window dressing. Yes, physical charity and helping people is an honorable and worthwhile goal as Jesus did that too, but Jesus isn't so much remembered or venerated for saving people from poverty or illness or even raising them from the dead but for dying on the Cross so Man could be saved from Hell and join Him in heaven. Salvation is job #1, yet the Church no longer concerns itself with that. Go to any Catholic church and you will hear them drone on about how we need to be nicer to people and how to be better every day, like some sort of Norman vincent Peale homily. This is a complete dereliction of duty by the Church; they are supposed to save SOULS first and foremost. Now people are going to damnation simply because the Church isn't telling them not to.
I look at the new Pope and think about all this. Maybe I'ma a bit of a nerd, but I really do. I try to look at the times and compare them to previous times. Yes, we've always had a lot of the things we are seeing now, but we now have the TOOLS to turn these nickel and dime conceits into monsters. We know Covid, for instance, was created in a lab, and that out of sheer hubris by some in our ruling class. How much worse is waiting as a gift from Lucifer to rebellious humans? Where was the Church in calling Gain of Function research out? That was and remains a direct challenge to God Himself. But the Church is afraid since they took so much heat over Gallileo (and they weren't even wrong on that - they simply asked Gallileo to teach Copernicanism as a theory, not as fact. Gallileo was the Michael Mann of his day, promoting his opinion as established fact and attacking anyone, including his boss the Pope, who cautioned patience to resolve the matter satisfactorally.
So now the Church just stammers when some obviously dangerous and morally disreputable idea comes up. Can't be called "anti-science" can we? So the runway train continues to drag souls into Hell and the Church is more concerned with blessing gay unions or with giving women a greater roll, or some other thing that promotes the darkness in the end. The real issues go untouched.
Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach thereunto, as the Good Book says. The Church is supposed to be repooving, not enabling.
So we have to wait and see what the new Pope will do. Let us all pray he is a rightous Pontiff and not the one who leads us all into darkness.
Just this Pope's name is ominous, as the quote at the beginning points out. Also:
1Peter 5:8:
Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour
Do remember that to the ancient Greeks and Romans the constellation Leo was so named because of the Nemean Lion, a fearsome beast killed by Hercules. Leo is another name for Lion.

Grasping Green Grift
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Slimeden, er, Biden funneled vast sums of taxpayer money to environmentalist grifters, far more than anyone knew.
Over $20 billion went out the door as Biden was leaving office, all going to the Democrat's buddies.
PJ Media chronicles much of this waste in the article; do check it out.

Surpluss
Timothy Birdnow
America just recorded her second largest budget surplus in history with an intake of $258.4 billion after last month's $160.5 billion deficit. This is primarily due to the tariffs imposed by President Trump in concert with a re-invigorated economy due to Trump's policies.
Will it last? The Democrats and old RINO's argue that this is temproary, and will wind down as the economy cools from the extra taxation.
Perhaps, but given the restructuring I suspect that cooling will be offset by the economic growth that is coming thanks to deregulation and sound money policy. Oh, and history does not support the claim that raising tariffs slows economic growth.

Britain's Carbon Kookerie
Timothy Birdnow
The U.K.is going to waste vast resources taking carbon - the stuff of life - out of the oceans.
Could taking carbon out of the sea cool down the planet?
What do the British People get out of it? Nothing. What do the elites who invest in the technology and run the companies contracted for this get? All of the money of the People. Any questions?

At Ease Florez-Ruiz Disease!
Timothy Birdnow
Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who helped an illegal alien evade ICE by shclepping him out the back door of her chambers, has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury.
Obstructing ICE and concealing a felon (the illegal alien) constitutes two felonies. Dugan faces six years in prison for her crime.
The alien - Eduardo Flores-Ruiz - was sought by ICE for deportion and was appearing in court for three counts of battery for beating a man and woman to the point where they had to be hospitalized.
This guy has entered the country illegally at least twice, and is wanted for strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse.
THIS is the type of person the Democrats are now trying to keep in the country.
But of course the media is trying to claim this is a violation of separation of powers and it's a Constitutional crisis when in fact it is a case of a lawless judge making her own laws and actively undermining the laws written by our elected representatives.
Nobody is above the law; isn't that what they kept saying about Trump when they hunted him? Now it appears some ARE above the law if they hold the "correct" views.
The doofus Dugan allegedly screamed at ICE officials who presented her with the administrative warrant, then sent them to speak to the chief judge while she heolped the Mexican national sneak out the serive exit in the back.
Dugan has been temporarily suspended by the very liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court pending the outcome of her legal battle.
This woman clearly should never have been made a judge in the first place. She does not see the law as the supreme basis of her job, but rather as a tool she can wield as she sees fit.
She deserves to go to prison. In fact, she deserves the maximum sentence because she was given great authority and she abused it. Also, others need to see and understand that they are not gods but judges who must obey the laws they themselves are sworn to uphold.
Frankly I prefer criminals and thugs like Flores-Ruiz to a parasitic infestation like Dugan; at least he's up front about being a criminal. Dugan is far worse, a parasite eating out the body politic. The hammer needs to fall on this woman.

Pope's Bro is a MAGA Man
Timothy Birdnow
The new Pope's brother is MAGA.
While I'm convinced Prevost is a huge progressive and will follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis, there is some small hope in learning that his brother Lou is conservative and stands with our President. Maybe if that rubbed off on his brother we could see the new Pontiff act sensibly. Maybe.

Lost Trust
Timothy Birdnow
FFINALLY!
‘Can’t Hate the Media Enough’: Survey Shows Growing Bipartisan Hatred for Mainstream Media
I think this is happening now because so many regular folks can capture things on film and the media is still trying to deny they happened. We have citizen-journalists now who are giving out the unvarnished truth. The media's repackaging of things is being exposed.
FTA:
So now most EVERYONE knows they are dishonest, or they are just lying about not understanding that.
Trust, once truly lost, is a hard thing to regain. The media has truly lost America's trust.
High time.
The question becomes, what is the country going to do about it? Seems to me they are already doing much, moving to online news sources - podcasts, news sites like Newsmax or Epoch Times, etc. Hopefully this will lead to a major swing to the right as the public starts learning what we always knew to be true and realizes they were played for fools. Hopefully.
You never can tell though and the pendulum may swing back towards the progressives. And that would lead to our eventual demise.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey, released this week, found that 49% of likely voters believe news media bias is getting worse, compared to just 11% who think it’s improving.
The findings reflect persistent skepticism among voters toward media institutions, which many say have increasingly favored Democratic perspectives.
In a key question from the survey, likely voters were asked if they agreed with the statement, "No matter how much you hate the media, it’s not enough.”
Forty-four percent agreed, compared to 29% who disagreed.
