New Pope elected at record speed—who is he?; Texas arrests Dem officials in vote fraud crackdown; Trump taps surprise DC prosecutor; Weaponization probe gets new bulldog at the helm.
Ah, the law of unintended consequences - Dems and RINOs shot themselves in the foot by rejecting Ed Martin! 😂😂 Now they will be faced with the rejected Martin firmly ensconced in a role that narrows his focus to precisely the issues the the Dem miscreants thought they had avoided. I’m hoping for the Big Bang of prosecution to explode on the guilty parties. KaBoom 💥
It’s hard to believe the R senators can be this dumb. This was such an obvious move. Anyone could see it coming from a mile away. Trump must have been sitting there begging them to let him do this. This is B’rer rabbit in the briar patch if I ever saw it!
The Tillis rejection of Martin is most important for the why. It's about narrative and writing history. If the false narrative of an "insurrection" on J6 isn't challenged and replaced with the truth of what happened that day now, on Pres. Trump's watch, it will go down in the history books as an "Insurrection" that future generations will believe.
The rejection of Martin is a recognition that a majority of the US Senate, including Republicans, believe Pres. Trump and his supporters are guilty of attempting an insurrection that day. Some may have publicly 'forgiven' him and accept that voters re-elected him *despite* that. But they continue to believe or parrot that an insurrection happened. And support the prosecutorial and judicial abuses directed at MAGA who challenged the rigged and stolen election of 2020.
Pres. Trump mustn't stop fighting for the truth to prevail. Lest the history books forever teach future generations that lie of an "insurrection" as truth. Tillis and others who continue to promote the Big Lie must be challenged. I call upon Pres. Trump to host a rally in North Carolina that targets Tillis and promotes a viable primary challenger. Put Tillis in the hot seat for MAGA to take on. Send the message to R's who promote that lie. Create consequences. If not now, while Trump support as POTUS is high, then when? To not do so is to concede the lie becoming taught as historical fact.
Supposedly, Lara Trump decided not to pursue the Senate appointment in FL, for Rubio's seat, so that she can run in NC. It's her home state and she's very popular there. She'd have no problem outing Tillis in a primary. 🤞🤞🤞
I don't think Lara Trump is as popular here in NC as you think she is. Charlotte and the RTP almost control NC like Atlanta does GA. We need a patriot as our Senator. Someone who will follow the Constitution. Period.
Cool. I am sad that Lara Trump isn’t still working on the campaign/RNC stuff. Was even more disappointed when she started a show on FOX. It feels like FOX has become the revolving door for political positions that pharma has for old gov employees. 🙄
I don't believe the RINO's who rejected Martin did so because they believe Jan 6th was an insurrection. it is because they know it wasn't, and were complicit in carrying out the FF and sitting silent (complicit again) during the ensuing witch hunt.
Nothing worse than sharing a foxhole with someone you can't trust. More respect for the enemy charging at you than the one who'll just as soon shiv you in the back or leave you on your own to take on the whole damn charge while they flee to safety.
Well said! DC insiders, aka RINOS, are totally invested with the “insurrection” narrative. That lie needs to be exposed and not only challenged but eradicated. However, the ramifications of doing so would negate the entire four years of the Biden presidency…that’s a BIg deal!
Sadly, in this day and age, truth only "prevails" when it aligns with one's political persuasion. Most Dems and many RINOs will always embrace the insurrection mantra, irrespective of what any Trump initiated working group finds.
I’m not so sure most of them actually BELIEVE that “Pres. Trump and his supporters are guilty of attempting an insurrection that day.” I think the ones that parrot the narrative the loudest know that it was a Deep State false flag operation, and they are complicit in the cover-up of that fact. It would be amazing if Ed Martin can blow the lid off of all of it. Unfortunately, I believe that our government is too infested by progressive ideologues with raging Trump Derangement Syndrome who will block Martin every step of the way.
Ah! They know! All of them! Both R and D alike. And if the truth, as you say, is not widely made know and the lie is allowed to persist, one may only anticipated getting more lies, more corruption and more death ... both literal as well as to the means in our good living.
Trump and his backers know that they have to smash the corruption and mayhem for good or else spend the rest of their lives in prison. This civil war between Woke Marxist Globalism and the Forces of Normalization is a real war. And I imagine that we haven't seen anything yet compared to what is still yet to come.
Excellent statement ‘I call upon Pres. Trump to host a rally in North Carolina that targets Tillis and promotes a viable primary challenger. Put Tillis in the hot seat for MAGA to take on. Send the message to R's who promote that lie.’ 👏👏 yes, hopefully that RINO Tillis will be replaced next election.
I'm still aggravated that Trump so far has not been dismissed for the bogus felony charges in New York and the defamation suit with that low value woman.
You are absolutely correct. It was NOT an insurrection. Just one million plus patriots expressing their dismay and displeasure and frustration at the MSM and the weak kneed members of congress.
Well, it's likely Tillis was trying to cover for himself/others for all their shenanigans during the Biden admin years (and prior most likely). But I'll admit I wasn't seeing Pirro as a possible choice for an interim person. That's pretty crazy. And now - letting Martin get into positions to do even more investigating with some real teeth. Maybe, just maybe, we'll start seeing something happen? (Not getting my hopes up)
Doubtful Ms Pirro will get confirmed should Trump offer her the nomination. This is likely another step at dealing with the reluctant GOP RINOs.
How many times can Trump name an 'interim' attorney for DC just to stifle judge Boasberg's authority to name one!
In the next 100 days or so, might we see judge Jeanine become Eagle Ed's second in command to root out the falsehoods of the J6 committee; possible prosecution of Cheney, Kingzinger, Thompson, etc; maybe even Pelosi!
That is exactly how they like them. The staffers run things with their deep state handlers.
It is so obvious, if one just looks at all the unconstitutional alphabet soup agencies and programs that one cannot find being authorized in the US Constitution. Trump is getting some of them cut/removed, but there are so many, many more.
Interesting, thanks Heterodox. It is similar to when Congress proposes cuts to the "increase in spending", not actual real cuts, and then calls them "cuts".
There is no (good) reason at all that they can't do a pre-"covid" baseline budget, adjusted minimally for the government spending induced inflation and then cut into the fat from there.
Precisely why so many of us keep trying to wake people up to the fact that the deep state involves both R and D's. Tillis sold his soul long ago over something. My guess is someone somewhere has something on Little T. He has never voted for what the majority in NC want. And he doesn't care.
Tillis and Cornyn seem to be two peas in the same pod... At least TX has Ken Paxton to challenge Cornyn. Perhaps that is another reason to clean up the ballot harvesting issue, because the RINO class in TX loves Cornyn and will likely be out in force against Paxton.
Proof that our 'work' is never done. Need some good 2026 replacements to fire up the base to turn out for mid-terms. Our 2 MO senators - Hawley and Schmitt have not been perfect, but neither of them bought the 'insurrection' story. But any of them who are not on board with the swamp-draining agenda need to go!
In other Congress news, found it interesting that Thomas Massie was the only House member to vote against the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed the House 406-1.
“It’s just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country’s business and write their laws,” Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. “And at the end of the day, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and it’s just sort of a virtue signal over here.” I don't disagree that we have limited control over China's internal actions but curious if you KY C&Cers see this as a publicity stunt for being the lone NO vote, or a truly principled stance.
Not from MO or KY, but I like Massie on most things. This one is a mostly symbolic vote, and I get his "get out of everyone else's business stance" (which is very Constitutional).
Where the US Congress can make a difference would be to stop allowing US companies (I'll pick on just two but there are thousands (Apple and Nike) from using slave labor in China to make their products. Put a 1,000% tariff on any US company that makes goods in China. Hit them in the wallet, and you will change behavior, both of the companies and of the CCP. All the virtue signaling in the world does not change behavior. But of course, Dems and RINOs are happy to do that because it maintains status quo of the slow destruction of the USA, while they get more wealthy (and stay in power).
Agree on Schmitt and on Hawley (he has been a hawk for the proxy war in Ukraine), which is a disappointment. Overall, I'd rather have both of them than 90% of the other "R" senators (Paul, Lee, and Johnson are the obvious exceptions as they are the most constitutional of the group).
I fell in love with Massie in 2020 when I learned about his PRIME act, which would make it easier for small farmers to sell beef and pork directly to consumers. At the time he had tried to pass it for years and not sure if it is still out there or not. Dug into all of this when there was alarm over shortages, and the system definitely favors corporate ag and appreciate his willingness to fight for changes. But some of his votes do leave me scratching my head.
His no vote on the organ harvesting does make sense, agree it is mostly just virtue signaling. I have boycotted Nike for their slave labor for over 20 years, learned about it when my kids were in elementary and battled them whining that they wanted Nike gear like their friends had.
You would think that both those bills would have sailed through the House and Senate, but Big Agra captures politicians just like Big Pharma.
Putting corn (ethanol) into our vehicles is lunacy, but it has bi-partisan support from the corn belt. It is terrible for engines (especially small engines) and less "efficient". Even Pres. Trump campaigned in Iowa touting ethanol...
Right with you on Nike. Haven't bought a pair of Nike's in close to 30 years. At first it was because they changed their sizing (made them smaller and they didn't fit right) then after that, like you, because of the slave labor.
We are in New England, and we get our local meat from Walden Meat (delivered monthly). They are really good.
I had a big year long project in Iowa working with several eco devo entities in 2015 - ethanol/big ag rules that state and owns both sides of the aisle for sure. Began as beneficial for farmer co-ops but big ag had purchased every ethanol plant in the state by 2015, and only survives due to subsidies, it's a crock, but woe to anyone who speaks against it in the state.
Agree, Hawley is big on the 'hold a hearing and look tough' and then not actually DO anything strategy, but at least he did back the 'stolen election' narrative and supported Trump even when it was unfashionable among the RINO republicans.
I think he's an opportunist - every move calculated for the best advantage for himself. He was only AG in MO for 2 years before jumping to a Senate run. I met him at the MOGOP convention last year and he promised to attend our We the People group last summer, and also told his KC legislative aide, who I know, to 'make it happen' but he blew it off and never showed. He held several rallies in the KC area though, went to one and it was all fluff and no substance, spent most of the time bashing his opponent. So just get a sense he is more out for himself vs 'for the people'
I submit you Tillis and Cornyn... and for good measure Murkowski and Collins. We need Collins to stay because she can still get re-elected, where if she was primaried and loses, it will be a Dem seat forever. District 2 cannot overcome their "Portland" in district 1.
Sad but true. We have a state senate seat that was won by a soft R despite being challenged by a MAGA R in the primary in 2022. I actually backed the RINO as he had a better chance of winning in a purple district.
I felt somewhat the same way, but then attended his rallies in lockdown for the 2020 election. He is totally different up there. Encouraging and always wanting America and her people to be great again. Listen to and read some of the people who have gotten to know him on a personal level, and they will tell you he is so very genuine and thoughtful.
Yep, held my nose in 2016 when I voted for him, but the more the left came after him, the more he earned my respect. It takes an ego of steel to stand against these hateful people.
I didn’t quite hold my nose but I definitely had mixed feelings about him. Having been a teen in the 80s I had a not very flattering image of Trump (mostly just huge ego and flamboyant not anything that would be a deal breaker but not my cup of tea at all). During 2016, my mom shared with me what she’d heard from him on Fox and other outlets for years and helped improve my impression of Trump before the 2016 election. Plus the lies that I discovered the media had made up about him made me very skeptical of anything they said about Trump. Not to mention that I *really* didn’t want Hillary to win!! 😡 He grew on me more during his first term. I was more enthusiastic about voting for him in 2020 for sure. But I still didn’t love the stream of consciousness rambles (that the media used to make up stuff about what he actually said and meant and twist it to denigrate him), nor the name calling. I think it’s much better this time around, he’s allowing very articulate people like JD Vance and Stephen Miller and sone cabinet members to do more of the talking on policy and he’s doing the rallying and the other things he’s best at. I’m personally very pleased at how he has changed tactics and I like him more now than I ever have.
I like seeing how he treats individuals - constituents, children, families of victims, our servicemen and women. His care and concern is genuine. His love for our country is unsurpassed.
I've never been a fan of the name-calling, but that's how it's done on both sides, and this is nothing new in the history of U.S. politics.
He is doing the right thing. He's not perfect, but who among us is? ☺️
Yes, I agree!! Especially about how he treats individuals and how caring he clearly is ❤️ Oh I don’t expect him to be perfect. And he has more courage and determination than any other public figure in recent times.
Yes, my 'inner 5 YO' loved him poking the eye of political correctness, but being a policy wonk I leaned towards Ben Carson, and then Ted Cruz after Carson dropped out as I liked that they brought forward concrete policies over slogans. Of course this is before I recognized just how wide and deep the swamp really was.
But you're right, letting the more articulate/detail people speak is a good move - he is not a detail guy - 100% 'big picture' which is why I still rarely listen to his speeches - I wait for the synopsis. And I do appreciate that he is not just randomly posting insults/picking fights like he did in his first term. The 4 years off to plan and execute was a blessing in disguise.
I suspect a lot of regulars on this site dislike Trump and he was not their first choice.
I’ve been crazy in love with the guy since he kicked Hillary’s ass in 2016.
Started with a strong crush when he unapologetically upset the idolized traitor John McCain’s apple cart in 2015. (May JM be enjoying his eternal rewards.)
Mike Benz spoke to Natalie Winters couple days ago. He said that it was curious that North Carolina senator was blocking January 6th lawyer, since there were many links to North Carolina and FBI , and Proud Boys prosecution.
Supposedly, he was so "frightened for his life" on j6 that he has PTSD from it. What a joke. They were escorted out before things got rough. He's a whiney coward, IMO.
Not really sure when "things got rough" other than when people were being encouraged to get in. Seems afterwards they mostly stayed in the ropes, took pictures, obeyed the police/guards/personnel inside, etc. Now if we ever find out who gave the order to unlock those doors .... :)
You are exactly correct. All it takes is the time to REALLY search the videos, the MSM, didn't want to be seen to know what actually happened. You see a FEW bad actors stirring up trouble. But I've seen videos from FB friends of singing the National Anthem, saying prayers and the Pledge of Allegiance.
It was much more like the end of a football game where they rush the field and tear down the goal post. At least on the protesters side. The worst of it started when different types of incindiaries, rubber bullets and gasses were fired INTO the crowd with NO WARNING. THAT pissed everyone off and it was game on.
I’m over here doing the hee hee hee thing. Trump just cracks me up! Reps better learn to go along with him fast because there’s always a bigger hammer behind his back!
👏👏👏 Yes! This reassignment for Ed Martin makes me very, very happy and so well deserved. I hope backstabber Sen. Thom Tillis is shaking in his boots over this.
I am loving Trump's strategy of switching nominees at the last minute and picking someone the establishment likes even less. The words, "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" come to mind.
According to an X entry by Rep. Thomas Massie, the Republican Uniparty helped the Dems very quietly shut down defunding USAID, the DOE, and PBS. In other words, they are still being funded and not shut down. Did we think it would be easy?
Of course they did. When are people going to wake the freak up and get that we don't have a two party political system and haven't for a very long time?! We have a one party government that want to put us under the UN/WEF global government. If you don't get that yet, time to do your research and wake up.
From NAZI to Nato (North Atlantic Terrorist Organization), what victory brought Europe, Putin’s not eating ze bugs (or playing checkers) & more WW2 Victory Day memes - happy Russia Victory Day!
ChatGPT helped me write this, which I will be sending him shortly via email:
Subject: Your Attempt to Block Reform Just Gave It More Power
Senator Tillis,
Your decision to block Ed Martin from his nomination as U.S. Attorney for D.C.—a move many of your constituents viewed as cowardly and disloyal—has ironically turned out to be a blessing in disguise. By denying him a limited, localized role, you unintentionally opened the door for President Trump to appoint him to a far more impactful national position.
Now serving as Associate Deputy Attorney General, Pardon Attorney, and Director of the newly formed Weaponization Working Group, Ed Martin will help root out political corruption and abuse across federal agencies—something Americans desperately need. He will advise on pardons for January 6 defendants, help shape national justice policy, and investigate the politicization of law enforcement under previous leadership.
So thank you, Senator. Your betrayal inadvertently positioned Ed Martin where he can do the most good.
now if he will really give them the middle finger and revoke JFK's EO which allowed federal employees to form a union - even FDR was against that, and it makes sense that government employees shouldn't play political favorites
It makes even less sense that the party against which any government union is "negotiating " is us, the taxpayer, and we have Zero to say about any of it. How is that constitutional?
!00%. And the fact that it is already a sort of union with all the laws that protect federal workers and all the lengths that one has to go to fire an individual (even if they are not 'unionized').
There was a local wrestling coach arrested in middle TN yesterday for soliciting a 13 year old in OH via social media!!! His picture looked like he was from the streets of San Francisco. I couldn't help but ask myself who hired this guy and did they do a background check?!
I don’t know if things have changed, but I knew a man who was a high school wrestling coach in Pennsylvania, and he was fired by the school for inappropriate contact with a student. They made him surrender his teaching license, but basically swept it under the rug, and let him keep his pension! Which was massive, since he worked for the school system for 33 years.
Similar situation in my kids’ HS. The coach was the FCA sponsor —arrested for soliciting ( what he thought was) an underage female. He had teenage daughters at the time! 😖
Agreed! I was so frightened, I had a long chat with my children to warn them. One knew about some of the groups because he had done research for a Speech & Debate class assignment on internet/online safety for kids. So horrible, I just can't stand it!
I'm spreading that post around. A 13-yr-old girl in our church shot herself through the head on April 14. I blame the Outrage Machine (a.k.a., social media). Jonathan Haidt has some good essays and books on this topic.
I know, MaryAnn. What a tragic thing to happen to a family and community. The poor mom must be suffering tremendously this Mother's Day. She's already torn up blaming herself (as parents naturally do in these cases). If you want to pray for the parents, their names are Michael and Stephanie. There are also five siblings. 🙏🏼❤️ Bless you, sister!
I literally can't understand a Republican who is still claiming the January 6 prosecutions were anything other than a terror campaign against American citizens and political opponents.
This point of view should disqualify any Republican running for office moving forward.
I think that is a good idea with a J6 litmus test for Republicans, but the RINOS are basically cowards wrapped in their own self-righteous protective garb. He obviously was a “scared weasel” that day…
"The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied"
Cardinal Vigano was excommunicated for challenging the scamdemic and the great reset, which the church "bartered for another god" to promote the shots.
I remarked on Morgthorak this a.m. that this "young" new Pope may be very well protected by the Covid injection program. Which seems to have an effect on longevity.
I think it was 1000% mandatory in Peru, and if he was advocating it like his social media seems to suggest (I think it was on Benny Johnson that I saw it), that he would have been a full jab participant.
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
He got my attention when the marquee at Cubs’ Wrigley Stadium said something about celebrating the new pope from Chicago. But then the Sox org. said he was theirs (a Sox fan), like his mom was. 😍
Jesus conquered sin and death for our salvation. Undeserved to say the least. Let us all do his will for he alone is holy. Use us as instruments of your truth. Amen.
I get the feeling the New Pope is another Trojan Horse for the Globalists and CCP who have compromised the Vatican. We will find out in the coming months.
No ne prays TO Mary, the most Holy Mother of God. The Hail Mary was recited by the Archangel to her. She is the ark of salvation. We Orthodox and Catholics honor and venerate her, as is befitting. Her honorific title OF Theotokos (bearer of God) having been established at the first Ecumenical councils of the united first church.
We do not pray TO her. I wish that some traditions would stop propagating this falsehood. Even Martin Luther maintained a special devotion of profound respect and admiration to her.
I have seen any number of Catholic prayer books in which prayers addressed TO Mary ascribe to her attributes that should only be ascribed to God and ask her for things that can be given only by God. In fact, I have a copy of one on my shelf that I made to discuss the issue with someone who was considering converting to Catholicism. Yes, Martin Luther and all Lutherans have great respect for her and consider her blessed. However, he said we should not pray to her, that she herself would be upset to think that people were giving her honor that should go to Christ.
As a child in Catholic grade school, I was told to ask Mary, the saints, etc. for what I needed, as if God had more important matters to deal with. A personal relationship with Jesus was not an option. Using an intermediary, like confessing to a priest, was the rule to ‘get to God’. I am so glad I now know the Creator of the universe cares about me and my needs, He loves me, and gave His Holy Spirit to live in me! We serve an awesome God.
Yes, and He listens to the intercession prayers of His Mother. Her many miraculous answers to prayers, mine included, and her apparitions are evident. I respect those who don't want to ask her to intercede, but I am saddened by those who do not respect the first Church, the Orthodox and Catholic churches, which ask her intercession to Her son on their behalf.
She is special to Jesus and we honor that. She carried salvation in her womb and agreed to do it when the Archangel greeted her.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." This comes from Luke 1:28.
Part 2: Elizabeth's words:
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus." This comes from Luke 1:42.
The false gospel of "repent and believe?" The false gospel of "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? " The false gospel of "feed my sheep?" The false gospel of "God so loved the world that He gave his only Son?" Which "false gospel" are we talking about?
The false one where you put a man called pope in the seat of the Comforter. The Holy Spirit needs no man’s help. And praying to Mary?!? What heresy! Plus the creation and worship of graven images…see the Ten Commandments, #2. Not to mention the ceremonial stuff that is anti-biblical. And wearing garments with pedo symbols clearly displayed…even the Star of Remphan?!?
“For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,”
The False Gospel of baptising babies who don't know they need to repent or believe... False Gospel of amassing millions of dollars in investments and assets while your poor masses go hungry... The False Gospel that doesn't teach the words of Jesus: " I tell you the truth, unless one is Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" The False Gospel that teaches Purgatory, when that's NOWHERE to be found in Scriptures and is most likely in Hell! The False Gospel of elevating Mary to Queen of the Heavens, Empress of the Americas, Co-redemptrix of humanity.... THAT FALSE GOSPEL
In a family group chat on the selection of the pope, I cautioned that if the “World” loves him, most likely not good for the faithful. If Ny slime loves it, hold on to your hats.
As a traditional Catholic, one that holds vat 2 and subsequent teaching as mostly heretical, I very much doubted that a traditional Catholic pope would be chosen. I think this will be bergoglio 2.0
Despite the tarnished impression one gets of him, he is "holy". I want to say a lot about it but we're overwhelmingly good folks here, from different places on the christian belief spectrum. God is holy. Have a great weekend everyone. From the RSA.
Sorry Dads throughout the world - your honorific has been revoked.
Of course we call people father all the time. This Scripture is telling us to call no one on earth our Heavenly Father. It is cautioning against the false worship of gods.
Good job twisting what I meant. Of course the Bible means God as our Heavenly Father. My post was in regards to the false prophet pope. Sorry if you missed that.
I - as a Latin Mass attending, Rosary praying, Confession-going Catholic - say we pray for him and give him a chance. He may very well end up being Bergoglio 2.0 but I'm going to wait until he disappoints me in his role as Pope. Either way, the seat of Peter is filled once again and a 2000+ year institution continues on. Thanks be to G-d!
Before I saw this comment, I knew you were a catholic. There is nothing in the Bible about praying and worshipping Mary as a co-redeemer. Praying of the "rosary" isn't Biblical. Adding words to the Lord's Prayer isn't Biblical. Telling Jesus he needed a priest is blasphemy. And Peter wasn't the first pope. Sorry. That isn't what the Bible says. And how can Peter fill that roll anyway when he was married per the Bible. And Catholics removed the 2nd commandment to get around that little idol issue. Very convenient. But it works out well since you are told not to read the Bible. You can. God inspired the writing of it for everyone. Look up "Proclaiming the Gospel" by Mike Gendron to help you. You are believing a false gospel led by a false prophet. The Bible is true and the true Gospel.
The moment I saw that the new pope was an American I thought “that can’t be a coincidence.” I don’t know what it means yet but just think it’s notable.
Meryl Nass wrote this yesterday:” The WSJ has run 2 articles recently about the Vatican finances. $500,000 lost, then found in a grocery bag. Officials who refuse to record their expenses. Within 0.2 square miles of territory, the Vatican owns billions of dollars worth of art and rare books, but has borrowed to the hilt and runs a steady $ deficit.
When Latin Americans in droves left the Catholic Church and chose Apostolic churches instead that catered more to the poor, a Pope from Argentina was chosen to shepherd the flock back to the original Church.
When Trump started reducing foreign aid, an American Pope, a long-shot, was chosen. Is it always about the money? Well, at least we will be able to understand his accent.”
Came here to say the same thing, Mary Ann. The Vatican bank is the most notoriously corrupt bank in the world. Of course they are reeling from having our tax dollars ripped out from under them via USAID and Catholic Charities. And CC is 100% complicit in trafficking, and for that alone I don't blame anyone for walking away.
Francis elevated 108 men to Cardinal in his 12 year reign, stacking the deck with like minded liberals so I had no hope we'd get someone conservative. Having raised my family in the Chicago suburbs, in Catholic schools, no less, the corruption in ours, and surrounding dioceses was off the chain. We have one of the largest collections of canceled priests - holy and great men who fought against the jab, lockdowns, etc, sacrificing their entire vocation doing the right thing (including my own pastor of 20 years Fr James Parker). Chicago's Cardinal Cupich is one of the most egregious clergy in modern history. Seeing him on that balcony with Prevost smiling ear to ear, gave me real sadness.
Pray for the church. As goes the church, so goes the world.
The Eucharist is the source and summit - there is no man made church who believes this - it's not a symbol. I encourage you to watch the link I attached of a former Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism. I am not disillusioned - the Catholic Church will become a remnant, but it will prevail.
I'll do you the courtesy of not spamming you with links of former Catholics who became Protestant. Far more Catholics become Protestant than vice versa btw. Beware of false gospels
Yes, that's true. For every one person joining the Catholic church, eight leave. I can't remember who wrote this, but he said that except for immigration and the huge size of the Catholic church, it would be going the way of the Episcopal church.
Just looked it up. There are currently 251 Cardinals, but only 134 eligible to vote in a papal concave. The ones who were ineligible to vote were ineligible simply because they had turned 80 before the recent papal vacancy. So beyond a doubt Francis stacked the deck, having appointed 108 out of the 134 voting. Maybe he appointed a few more conservative cardinals in the mix? I don't know. But why would he when he could appoint like minded Cardinals who supported his opinions?
Our family’s fingers started researching scriptures and timelines of end times when ‘it’ was announced and we know that we’re just beginning to see things put in place. We just don’t know because, just as scripture said that as birth pains indicate the birth is near, we still have not been able to say exactly when or what will happen.
The Birth-pains are getting closer and more noticeable! Keep looking up!
I keep thinking (to myself), "Is this what is really happening? Does Trump represent an American oligarch push back against the international banking system composed of the British Crown/City of London, the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (the Rothschild's bank) and the Vatican? Is this finally payback for the 1912 slaughter of the American oligarchs on board the Titanic who opposed their debt based monetary/slavery system and the subsequent 1913 Constitutional coup under the globalist Wilson that enslaved all Americans to their phoney banking system?"
I keep musing on this question but here is someone who is actually saying it out loud. History moves in cycles and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. America has been enslaved to the international banking system via the Federal Reserve and the Federal Income Tax for over 100 years which has now driven America to the brink of bankruptcy both individually and nationally. The globalists have had their day, staged an actual Marxist coup of the USG via election fraud and imposed an attempted mass democide of the American people via a militarily deployed kill shot/medical "experiment". I have to think that the American oligarchs who care about their own survival as well as the survival of what we call America have had enough and began a program over 15 years ago to prepare for this day of retribution/liberation. Are we in the middle of the biggest war on American soil since the so-called Civil War?
I know. Too much to hope for, right? That's why I kept my thoughts to myself until I saw this video. Ah to be a fly on the wall of history! It's like waiting for the next episode to drop in your favorite TV series.
Now don't get me wrong. I have no illusions about America going back in time to what we use to be in history. The constitutional republic ceased to exist a long time ago. Whatever the US evolves into in the future, it will be something different. And the USG is not about to give up their empire. It may get scaled back and made more manageable and the geo-political priorities may be realigned as Marxism is finally rejected by the USG as a "raison d'etre". That alone would make me happy.
My guess is the the USG will become more of what we are seeing in the changes right now. Today, governance is being accomplished PRIMARILY through Presidential Executive Orders (rather than through legislation) much the same when ancient Rome ceased being a republic and Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to become emperor to the cheers of the Roman citizens. I expect that the USG will become (or already is) an authoritarian government not unlike the government in today's Russia under Putin.
And again, better a benevolent authoritarian government rather than a nihilistic, satanic dictatorship bent on the subjugation and destruction of it's own people. Those are the choices we have recently faced.
It seems as though they are busy building the AI control grid, so I don't have a lot of hope that they are riding in on a white horse to save us peasants.
That explains the multiple posts by my son, detailing the work he has been doing on his plane. Working in the hangar is not pleasant for much of the year.
It has been absolutely gorgeous here for several days now - everything in bloom, blue skies and temps in the upper 60s and into the 70s! But of course, it is supposed to rain this weekend for Mother's Day!
Some of our relatives moved out there within the last 6 months. They seem to be enjoying it, with the possible exception of the single digit temps in January. Kirksville is the nearest town of note.
Good afternoon from Cleveland, OH! God has blessed us with a beautiful sunny day today, probably our last full day here before heading back to Oklahoma!
I heard that the mayor of Boise is challenging the new state law against gay flags on public flagpoles. And the Boise city council backed him up. I’m thinking the conservatives in that city need to get to work.
Ah, the law of unintended consequences - Dems and RINOs shot themselves in the foot by rejecting Ed Martin! 😂😂 Now they will be faced with the rejected Martin firmly ensconced in a role that narrows his focus to precisely the issues the the Dem miscreants thought they had avoided. I’m hoping for the Big Bang of prosecution to explode on the guilty parties. KaBoom 💥
It’s hard to believe the R senators can be this dumb. This was such an obvious move. Anyone could see it coming from a mile away. Trump must have been sitting there begging them to let him do this. This is B’rer rabbit in the briar patch if I ever saw it!
The Tillis rejection of Martin is most important for the why. It's about narrative and writing history. If the false narrative of an "insurrection" on J6 isn't challenged and replaced with the truth of what happened that day now, on Pres. Trump's watch, it will go down in the history books as an "Insurrection" that future generations will believe.
The rejection of Martin is a recognition that a majority of the US Senate, including Republicans, believe Pres. Trump and his supporters are guilty of attempting an insurrection that day. Some may have publicly 'forgiven' him and accept that voters re-elected him *despite* that. But they continue to believe or parrot that an insurrection happened. And support the prosecutorial and judicial abuses directed at MAGA who challenged the rigged and stolen election of 2020.
Pres. Trump mustn't stop fighting for the truth to prevail. Lest the history books forever teach future generations that lie of an "insurrection" as truth. Tillis and others who continue to promote the Big Lie must be challenged. I call upon Pres. Trump to host a rally in North Carolina that targets Tillis and promotes a viable primary challenger. Put Tillis in the hot seat for MAGA to take on. Send the message to R's who promote that lie. Create consequences. If not now, while Trump support as POTUS is high, then when? To not do so is to concede the lie becoming taught as historical fact.
Supposedly, Lara Trump decided not to pursue the Senate appointment in FL, for Rubio's seat, so that she can run in NC. It's her home state and she's very popular there. She'd have no problem outing Tillis in a primary. 🤞🤞🤞
Foxy likey! 🦊
Wouldn't. Be. Close.
65% to 11%
Would give Liz Cheney's rejection a run for biggest primary loss, evuh!
https://x.com/WCdispatch_/status/1919965937907691631
Time to harvest some votes and primary Thom Thillis out.
Amen to that Roger. He is beatable both in the primary and in the general (if it is a decent candidate).
I don't think Lara Trump is as popular here in NC as you think she is. Charlotte and the RTP almost control NC like Atlanta does GA. We need a patriot as our Senator. Someone who will follow the Constitution. Period.
No doubt the poll is Pres. Trump name recognition, not Lara. That said, the poll informs that PDJT beats Tillis 65-11 among NC R primary voters.
Who is PDJT? And primary means nothing as Mark Robinson found out. Democrats control this state.
Agree. I’m from NC and was unaware she is popular/known here.
Cool. I am sad that Lara Trump isn’t still working on the campaign/RNC stuff. Was even more disappointed when she started a show on FOX. It feels like FOX has become the revolving door for political positions that pharma has for old gov employees. 🙄
Actually that may serve a very useful purpose in this war and personally, I don’t equate it with a Pharma job.
I’m praying this will be so. I’m from NC and detest Tillis.
Freedom Fox, well said and a big Amen!!
Ooooh, I like that thought!!!
I don't believe the RINO's who rejected Martin did so because they believe Jan 6th was an insurrection. it is because they know it wasn't, and were complicit in carrying out the FF and sitting silent (complicit again) during the ensuing witch hunt.
Playing their part in the deception. I hate RINOS more than Demonrats, actually.
Nothing worse than sharing a foxhole with someone you can't trust. More respect for the enemy charging at you than the one who'll just as soon shiv you in the back or leave you on your own to take on the whole damn charge while they flee to safety.
Well said! DC insiders, aka RINOS, are totally invested with the “insurrection” narrative. That lie needs to be exposed and not only challenged but eradicated. However, the ramifications of doing so would negate the entire four years of the Biden presidency…that’s a BIg deal!
Sadly, in this day and age, truth only "prevails" when it aligns with one's political persuasion. Most Dems and many RINOs will always embrace the insurrection mantra, irrespective of what any Trump initiated working group finds.
Many Dems and RINOs 'embraced' the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax too. I'm hoping the same is exposed for the J6 scam.
We know what we're up against. So we don't stop. We try harder. We get smarter.
Never give up! Never quit!
I’m not so sure most of them actually BELIEVE that “Pres. Trump and his supporters are guilty of attempting an insurrection that day.” I think the ones that parrot the narrative the loudest know that it was a Deep State false flag operation, and they are complicit in the cover-up of that fact. It would be amazing if Ed Martin can blow the lid off of all of it. Unfortunately, I believe that our government is too infested by progressive ideologues with raging Trump Derangement Syndrome who will block Martin every step of the way.
Ah! They know! All of them! Both R and D alike. And if the truth, as you say, is not widely made know and the lie is allowed to persist, one may only anticipated getting more lies, more corruption and more death ... both literal as well as to the means in our good living.
Trump and his backers know that they have to smash the corruption and mayhem for good or else spend the rest of their lives in prison. This civil war between Woke Marxist Globalism and the Forces of Normalization is a real war. And I imagine that we haven't seen anything yet compared to what is still yet to come.
Excellent statement ‘I call upon Pres. Trump to host a rally in North Carolina that targets Tillis and promotes a viable primary challenger. Put Tillis in the hot seat for MAGA to take on. Send the message to R's who promote that lie.’ 👏👏 yes, hopefully that RINO Tillis will be replaced next election.
I'm still aggravated that Trump so far has not been dismissed for the bogus felony charges in New York and the defamation suit with that low value woman.
I’d say he has bigger fish to fry.
Too obvious,Tillis could be Trumps trojan horse
Oh. 5D Chess.
Or not.
How so?
He is obviously a RAT in sheep’s clothing.
You are absolutely correct. It was NOT an insurrection. Just one million plus patriots expressing their dismay and displeasure and frustration at the MSM and the weak kneed members of congress.
Well, it's likely Tillis was trying to cover for himself/others for all their shenanigans during the Biden admin years (and prior most likely). But I'll admit I wasn't seeing Pirro as a possible choice for an interim person. That's pretty crazy. And now - letting Martin get into positions to do even more investigating with some real teeth. Maybe, just maybe, we'll start seeing something happen? (Not getting my hopes up)
Doubtful Ms Pirro will get confirmed should Trump offer her the nomination. This is likely another step at dealing with the reluctant GOP RINOs.
How many times can Trump name an 'interim' attorney for DC just to stifle judge Boasberg's authority to name one!
In the next 100 days or so, might we see judge Jeanine become Eagle Ed's second in command to root out the falsehoods of the J6 committee; possible prosecution of Cheney, Kingzinger, Thompson, etc; maybe even Pelosi!
I think she is just a placeholder until he gets another nominee. She can serve 120 days - blocking a Boasberg nominee.
Just theoretically, how many interim appointments can happen?
And how powerful is the position when held interimly?
Good question about how many times an interim can be appointed.
Anyone know?
And does just being interim limit the powers they hold?
Indeed, there are many in DC lacking the requisite amount of intellect and common sense! 👍
That is exactly how they like them. The staffers run things with their deep state handlers.
It is so obvious, if one just looks at all the unconstitutional alphabet soup agencies and programs that one cannot find being authorized in the US Constitution. Trump is getting some of them cut/removed, but there are so many, many more.
They all have glazed over eyes
?? https://youtu.be/r3BcwS8HmwM Not an endorsement, just fodder for never ending questions. For your consideration.
Interesting, thanks Heterodox. It is similar to when Congress proposes cuts to the "increase in spending", not actual real cuts, and then calls them "cuts".
There is no (good) reason at all that they can't do a pre-"covid" baseline budget, adjusted minimally for the government spending induced inflation and then cut into the fat from there.
Disgusting!! So much for paying down the national debt or sending some of that savings back to the American citizens. Audit the MIC.
There’s an understatement 😂🤣😂
It’s Biblical.
The very definition of a GOP senatewhore is dumb. Add to that craven and cowardly.
Sadly.
Precisely why so many of us keep trying to wake people up to the fact that the deep state involves both R and D's. Tillis sold his soul long ago over something. My guess is someone somewhere has something on Little T. He has never voted for what the majority in NC want. And he doesn't care.
Tillis and Cornyn seem to be two peas in the same pod... At least TX has Ken Paxton to challenge Cornyn. Perhaps that is another reason to clean up the ballot harvesting issue, because the RINO class in TX loves Cornyn and will likely be out in force against Paxton.
NC Republicans already have someone that they will primary Tillis with in 2026.
I live in NC. Who is that?
Watch those state level party apparatuses. They’re slippery and crooked as snakes.
Who?
Proof that our 'work' is never done. Need some good 2026 replacements to fire up the base to turn out for mid-terms. Our 2 MO senators - Hawley and Schmitt have not been perfect, but neither of them bought the 'insurrection' story. But any of them who are not on board with the swamp-draining agenda need to go!
In other Congress news, found it interesting that Thomas Massie was the only House member to vote against the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed the House 406-1.
“It’s just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country’s business and write their laws,” Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. “And at the end of the day, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and it’s just sort of a virtue signal over here.” I don't disagree that we have limited control over China's internal actions but curious if you KY C&Cers see this as a publicity stunt for being the lone NO vote, or a truly principled stance.
Not from MO or KY, but I like Massie on most things. This one is a mostly symbolic vote, and I get his "get out of everyone else's business stance" (which is very Constitutional).
Where the US Congress can make a difference would be to stop allowing US companies (I'll pick on just two but there are thousands (Apple and Nike) from using slave labor in China to make their products. Put a 1,000% tariff on any US company that makes goods in China. Hit them in the wallet, and you will change behavior, both of the companies and of the CCP. All the virtue signaling in the world does not change behavior. But of course, Dems and RINOs are happy to do that because it maintains status quo of the slow destruction of the USA, while they get more wealthy (and stay in power).
Agree on Schmitt and on Hawley (he has been a hawk for the proxy war in Ukraine), which is a disappointment. Overall, I'd rather have both of them than 90% of the other "R" senators (Paul, Lee, and Johnson are the obvious exceptions as they are the most constitutional of the group).
I fell in love with Massie in 2020 when I learned about his PRIME act, which would make it easier for small farmers to sell beef and pork directly to consumers. At the time he had tried to pass it for years and not sure if it is still out there or not. Dug into all of this when there was alarm over shortages, and the system definitely favors corporate ag and appreciate his willingness to fight for changes. But some of his votes do leave me scratching my head.
His no vote on the organ harvesting does make sense, agree it is mostly just virtue signaling. I have boycotted Nike for their slave labor for over 20 years, learned about it when my kids were in elementary and battled them whining that they wanted Nike gear like their friends had.
Very smart bill. Also, surprisingly had "bipartisan" support from some Dems, including the Maine delegation.
He was working on raw milk too in 2024. https://massie.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395642
You would think that both those bills would have sailed through the House and Senate, but Big Agra captures politicians just like Big Pharma.
Putting corn (ethanol) into our vehicles is lunacy, but it has bi-partisan support from the corn belt. It is terrible for engines (especially small engines) and less "efficient". Even Pres. Trump campaigned in Iowa touting ethanol...
Right with you on Nike. Haven't bought a pair of Nike's in close to 30 years. At first it was because they changed their sizing (made them smaller and they didn't fit right) then after that, like you, because of the slave labor.
We are in New England, and we get our local meat from Walden Meat (delivered monthly). They are really good.
I had a big year long project in Iowa working with several eco devo entities in 2015 - ethanol/big ag rules that state and owns both sides of the aisle for sure. Began as beneficial for farmer co-ops but big ag had purchased every ethanol plant in the state by 2015, and only survives due to subsidies, it's a crock, but woe to anyone who speaks against it in the state.
I can't argue with Massie's stance. He's right.
I’ve been very happy with Senator Schmitt. As far as Josh Hawley, it’s a mixed bag.
Agree, Hawley is big on the 'hold a hearing and look tough' and then not actually DO anything strategy, but at least he did back the 'stolen election' narrative and supported Trump even when it was unfashionable among the RINO republicans.
I just don’t understand what changed that he’s not as reliably conservative as I thought he was. Threatened? Bought off?
I think he's an opportunist - every move calculated for the best advantage for himself. He was only AG in MO for 2 years before jumping to a Senate run. I met him at the MOGOP convention last year and he promised to attend our We the People group last summer, and also told his KC legislative aide, who I know, to 'make it happen' but he blew it off and never showed. He held several rallies in the KC area though, went to one and it was all fluff and no substance, spent most of the time bashing his opponent. So just get a sense he is more out for himself vs 'for the people'
Yes, Hawley is a hardcore neocon war-for-profit guy.
I submit you Tillis and Cornyn... and for good measure Murkowski and Collins. We need Collins to stay because she can still get re-elected, where if she was primaried and loses, it will be a Dem seat forever. District 2 cannot overcome their "Portland" in district 1.
Sad but true. We have a state senate seat that was won by a soft R despite being challenged by a MAGA R in the primary in 2022. I actually backed the RINO as he had a better chance of winning in a purple district.
NC Republicans already have someone that they will primary Tillis with in 2026.

I never really truely liked Trump's bombastic arrogance, though lately have grown to love this man
I felt somewhat the same way, but then attended his rallies in lockdown for the 2020 election. He is totally different up there. Encouraging and always wanting America and her people to be great again. Listen to and read some of the people who have gotten to know him on a personal level, and they will tell you he is so very genuine and thoughtful.
Yep, held my nose in 2016 when I voted for him, but the more the left came after him, the more he earned my respect. It takes an ego of steel to stand against these hateful people.
I didn’t quite hold my nose but I definitely had mixed feelings about him. Having been a teen in the 80s I had a not very flattering image of Trump (mostly just huge ego and flamboyant not anything that would be a deal breaker but not my cup of tea at all). During 2016, my mom shared with me what she’d heard from him on Fox and other outlets for years and helped improve my impression of Trump before the 2016 election. Plus the lies that I discovered the media had made up about him made me very skeptical of anything they said about Trump. Not to mention that I *really* didn’t want Hillary to win!! 😡 He grew on me more during his first term. I was more enthusiastic about voting for him in 2020 for sure. But I still didn’t love the stream of consciousness rambles (that the media used to make up stuff about what he actually said and meant and twist it to denigrate him), nor the name calling. I think it’s much better this time around, he’s allowing very articulate people like JD Vance and Stephen Miller and sone cabinet members to do more of the talking on policy and he’s doing the rallying and the other things he’s best at. I’m personally very pleased at how he has changed tactics and I like him more now than I ever have.
I like seeing how he treats individuals - constituents, children, families of victims, our servicemen and women. His care and concern is genuine. His love for our country is unsurpassed.
I've never been a fan of the name-calling, but that's how it's done on both sides, and this is nothing new in the history of U.S. politics.
He is doing the right thing. He's not perfect, but who among us is? ☺️
Yes, I agree!! Especially about how he treats individuals and how caring he clearly is ❤️ Oh I don’t expect him to be perfect. And he has more courage and determination than any other public figure in recent times.
Yes, my 'inner 5 YO' loved him poking the eye of political correctness, but being a policy wonk I leaned towards Ben Carson, and then Ted Cruz after Carson dropped out as I liked that they brought forward concrete policies over slogans. Of course this is before I recognized just how wide and deep the swamp really was.
But you're right, letting the more articulate/detail people speak is a good move - he is not a detail guy - 100% 'big picture' which is why I still rarely listen to his speeches - I wait for the synopsis. And I do appreciate that he is not just randomly posting insults/picking fights like he did in his first term. The 4 years off to plan and execute was a blessing in disguise.
Same!
I literally took a clothespin to the polls, because I needed both hands to vote.
I followed Q with doubt until the proofs kept showing up
Thinking the same. There are very smart “someones” in his circle that embolden this level of 3D chess. Agree…loving the leadership!
I suspect a lot of regulars on this site dislike Trump and he was not their first choice.
I’ve been crazy in love with the guy since he kicked Hillary’s ass in 2016.
Started with a strong crush when he unapologetically upset the idolized traitor John McCain’s apple cart in 2015. (May JM be enjoying his eternal rewards.)
me too WS!
Same here. Maybe that trait is a feature and not a defect:)
That tenacity may be what kept him going through almost a decade of hostility from the most well funded government on earth!
Mike Benz spoke to Natalie Winters couple days ago. He said that it was curious that North Carolina senator was blocking January 6th lawyer, since there were many links to North Carolina and FBI , and Proud Boys prosecution.
No coincidences.
Supposedly, he was so "frightened for his life" on j6 that he has PTSD from it. What a joke. They were escorted out before things got rough. He's a whiney coward, IMO.
Not really sure when "things got rough" other than when people were being encouraged to get in. Seems afterwards they mostly stayed in the ropes, took pictures, obeyed the police/guards/personnel inside, etc. Now if we ever find out who gave the order to unlock those doors .... :)
Exactly what I'm thinking!
You are exactly correct. All it takes is the time to REALLY search the videos, the MSM, didn't want to be seen to know what actually happened. You see a FEW bad actors stirring up trouble. But I've seen videos from FB friends of singing the National Anthem, saying prayers and the Pledge of Allegiance.
It was much more like the end of a football game where they rush the field and tear down the goal post. At least on the protesters side. The worst of it started when different types of incindiaries, rubber bullets and gasses were fired INTO the crowd with NO WARNING. THAT pissed everyone off and it was game on.
Yes. Always has been. Look at his voting record. Tillis sold his soul long ago over something.
Mike was implying that he might be protecting someone in his state from prosecution.
This was my thought too.... such a good play and I’m here to watch what happens. With my popcorn.
Yes this was a supreme Popcorn Moment!😂😊
Popcorn and milk duds.
A dentist’s delight!
Junior Mints! I want my Junior Mints!
Nice combo!
I’m over here doing the hee hee hee thing. Trump just cracks me up! Reps better learn to go along with him fast because there’s always a bigger hammer behind his back!
It's like shooting fish in a bucket....
I like it. But we must not underestimate the evil.
It’s frightening how half the country is deluded and blown about by every wind.
Absolutely!
Did you see this yet? I call it "The Trouble with Tills:" 😉
https://x.com/JG_CSTT/status/1920197778187431938
I doubt the Dem miscreants are the only ones who thought they’d escaped detection by rejecting him.
I hope they all get what’s coming to them.
KABOOM!
👏👏👏 Yes! This reassignment for Ed Martin makes me very, very happy and so well deserved. I hope backstabber Sen. Thom Tillis is shaking in his boots over this.
I am loving Trump's strategy of switching nominees at the last minute and picking someone the establishment likes even less. The words, "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" come to mind.
Oh, I hope you’re right!
And I hope the ‘Bird of Paradise’ flies up that smarmy, spineless Thom Tillis’ nose.
Thom Tillis is a deep state traitor. Hope Judge Jeanine and Eagle Ed drain the swamp despite him. Cheers to Friday and an epic 100 days into the sequel of The Administration: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/trump-administration-apprentice-video
I hope Ed Martin in his new role at the DOJ investigates Tillis. Tillis made the wrong chess move by denying Martin.
Knock-em Dead Ed!
I saw where Tillis has enthusiastically endorsed Judge Pirro. As did Lindsey Graham. Hmmm…
They had better try to get on her good side😉
Hee hee hee!
Tillis does what he is told to do. Look at his voting record.
The wrong move was his only move based on his suspicious past
According to an X entry by Rep. Thomas Massie, the Republican Uniparty helped the Dems very quietly shut down defunding USAID, the DOE, and PBS. In other words, they are still being funded and not shut down. Did we think it would be easy?
Sadly not surprised by that at all. We have investigated ourselves and found no signs of wrongdoing type stuff....
And if only we had media that would investigate and report on it, people would actually know….
"Honest injun..."
The only saving grace is that USAID was moved to State Dept. under direction of Rubio.
Of course they did. When are people going to wake the freak up and get that we don't have a two party political system and haven't for a very long time?! We have a one party government that want to put us under the UN/WEF global government. If you don't get that yet, time to do your research and wake up.
I’ve heard that the $40 million a month is still going out to Afghanistan as well. Who’s ‘making sure’?

I wrote to Senator Tillis thanking him for getting Ed Martin into a much more influential position.
Excellent idea! I will do the same.
Great idea. I will have to give his office another call today. He obviously didn’t like the substance of my first call.
Love it. Brilliant
You are brilliant! I will do the same!
It is becoming a C&C multiplier! yes!
Why not some multipliers against some of these rinos?! Giving new power to the CNC army and making the rinos nervous.
I just sent him an email too.
https://www.tillis.senate.gov/services/forms/30B84400-E0C8-4C4E-83B7-25C4BBF1E84C/email-me
ChatGPT helped me write this, which I will be sending him shortly via email:
Subject: Your Attempt to Block Reform Just Gave It More Power
Senator Tillis,
Your decision to block Ed Martin from his nomination as U.S. Attorney for D.C.—a move many of your constituents viewed as cowardly and disloyal—has ironically turned out to be a blessing in disguise. By denying him a limited, localized role, you unintentionally opened the door for President Trump to appoint him to a far more impactful national position.
Now serving as Associate Deputy Attorney General, Pardon Attorney, and Director of the newly formed Weaponization Working Group, Ed Martin will help root out political corruption and abuse across federal agencies—something Americans desperately need. He will advise on pardons for January 6 defendants, help shape national justice policy, and investigate the politicization of law enforcement under previous leadership.
So thank you, Senator. Your betrayal inadvertently positioned Ed Martin where he can do the most good.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, State]
Tillis' constituents can also recommend the senator preserve is records.
Great. Hahaha.
😂😅😂🤣😂
Genius!
Great idea!
😂👍
Brilliant!
🤣🤣🤣
The Pirro-Martin story: I don’t mean to be vindictive but it is supremely satisfying to watch Trump poke the left and the useless RINO’s in the eye 😂
That approach works really well on Dan 'Eye patch McCain' Crenshaw.
LMAO! Good one BFM!
😂😂😜
now if he will really give them the middle finger and revoke JFK's EO which allowed federal employees to form a union - even FDR was against that, and it makes sense that government employees shouldn't play political favorites
It makes even less sense that the party against which any government union is "negotiating " is us, the taxpayer, and we have Zero to say about any of it. How is that constitutional?
!00%. And the fact that it is already a sort of union with all the laws that protect federal workers and all the lengths that one has to go to fire an individual (even if they are not 'unionized').
I burst out laughing when reading Trump's statement on X. Just when I started to doubt, Trump makes a brilliant move.
I’m still thinking about the post about the kids. We need to keep them in prayer and keep that whole online situation in prayer.
The adults need to step up and get offline themselves.
It’s the saddest thing to see a kid looking for a parent, but the parent is plugged in. 😭
Guilty as charged. (Puts down the laptop and heads to the beach).
We’ve all been guilty. It’s the saddest thing to see a kid looking for a parent, but the parent is plugged in. 😭
There was a local wrestling coach arrested in middle TN yesterday for soliciting a 13 year old in OH via social media!!! His picture looked like he was from the streets of San Francisco. I couldn't help but ask myself who hired this guy and did they do a background check?!
I don’t know if things have changed, but I knew a man who was a high school wrestling coach in Pennsylvania, and he was fired by the school for inappropriate contact with a student. They made him surrender his teaching license, but basically swept it under the rug, and let him keep his pension! Which was massive, since he worked for the school system for 33 years.
Pension...outrageous.
Similar situation in my kids’ HS. The coach was the FCA sponsor —arrested for soliciting ( what he thought was) an underage female. He had teenage daughters at the time! 😖
Seems this is happening everywhere. Parents beware.
That's awful, but apparently par for the course.
Agreed! I was so frightened, I had a long chat with my children to warn them. One knew about some of the groups because he had done research for a Speech & Debate class assignment on internet/online safety for kids. So horrible, I just can't stand it!
I sent that one to my daughter and SIL. I hope they read it.
I'm spreading that post around. A 13-yr-old girl in our church shot herself through the head on April 14. I blame the Outrage Machine (a.k.a., social media). Jonathan Haidt has some good essays and books on this topic.
Susie: That is just so sad! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I know, MaryAnn. What a tragic thing to happen to a family and community. The poor mom must be suffering tremendously this Mother's Day. She's already torn up blaming herself (as parents naturally do in these cases). If you want to pray for the parents, their names are Michael and Stephanie. There are also five siblings. 🙏🏼❤️ Bless you, sister!
I will lift this family in prayer. ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.’
I literally can't understand a Republican who is still claiming the January 6 prosecutions were anything other than a terror campaign against American citizens and political opponents.
This point of view should disqualify any Republican running for office moving forward.
I think that is a good idea with a J6 litmus test for Republicans, but the RINOS are basically cowards wrapped in their own self-righteous protective garb. He obviously was a “scared weasel” that day…
Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
As for the saints who are in the earth,
They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
— Psalm 16:1-4 NAS
"The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied"
Cardinal Vigano was excommunicated for challenging the scamdemic and the great reset, which the church "bartered for another god" to promote the shots.
I remarked on Morgthorak this a.m. that this "young" new Pope may be very well protected by the Covid injection program. Which seems to have an effect on longevity.
I think it was 1000% mandatory in Peru, and if he was advocating it like his social media seems to suggest (I think it was on Benny Johnson that I saw it), that he would have been a full jab participant.
Same in Italy...
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Amen.
Funny how this new pope means nothing to me…
But judge Pirro…. Wow.
agreed UJ!
He got my attention when the marquee at Cubs’ Wrigley Stadium said something about celebrating the new pope from Chicago. But then the Sox org. said he was theirs (a Sox fan), like his mom was. 😍
Jesus conquered sin and death for our salvation. Undeserved to say the least. Let us all do his will for he alone is holy. Use us as instruments of your truth. Amen.
I get the feeling the New Pope is another Trojan Horse for the Globalists and CCP who have compromised the Vatican. We will find out in the coming months.
Absolutely. A pro-vaccine shill
And little boys and undocumented migrants
same here, not impressed.
Say Three Million Hail Marys...
I’m sure Mary is appalled that ppl pray to her
No ne prays TO Mary, the most Holy Mother of God. The Hail Mary was recited by the Archangel to her. She is the ark of salvation. We Orthodox and Catholics honor and venerate her, as is befitting. Her honorific title OF Theotokos (bearer of God) having been established at the first Ecumenical councils of the united first church.
We do not pray TO her. I wish that some traditions would stop propagating this falsehood. Even Martin Luther maintained a special devotion of profound respect and admiration to her.
I have seen any number of Catholic prayer books in which prayers addressed TO Mary ascribe to her attributes that should only be ascribed to God and ask her for things that can be given only by God. In fact, I have a copy of one on my shelf that I made to discuss the issue with someone who was considering converting to Catholicism. Yes, Martin Luther and all Lutherans have great respect for her and consider her blessed. However, he said we should not pray to her, that she herself would be upset to think that people were giving her honor that should go to Christ.
As a child in Catholic grade school, I was told to ask Mary, the saints, etc. for what I needed, as if God had more important matters to deal with. A personal relationship with Jesus was not an option. Using an intermediary, like confessing to a priest, was the rule to ‘get to God’. I am so glad I now know the Creator of the universe cares about me and my needs, He loves me, and gave His Holy Spirit to live in me! We serve an awesome God.
Yes, and He listens to the intercession prayers of His Mother. Her many miraculous answers to prayers, mine included, and her apparitions are evident. I respect those who don't want to ask her to intercede, but I am saddened by those who do not respect the first Church, the Orthodox and Catholic churches, which ask her intercession to Her son on their behalf.
She is special to Jesus and we honor that. She carried salvation in her womb and agreed to do it when the Archangel greeted her.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." This comes from Luke 1:28.
Part 2: Elizabeth's words:
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus." This comes from Luke 1:42.
🤣🤣
He's a socialist who lives in splendor claiming to care about the poor while preaching a false gospel.
The false gospel of "repent and believe?" The false gospel of "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? " The false gospel of "feed my sheep?" The false gospel of "God so loved the world that He gave his only Son?" Which "false gospel" are we talking about?
Faith + works.....tbat false gospel
The false one where you put a man called pope in the seat of the Comforter. The Holy Spirit needs no man’s help. And praying to Mary?!? What heresy! Plus the creation and worship of graven images…see the Ten Commandments, #2. Not to mention the ceremonial stuff that is anti-biblical. And wearing garments with pedo symbols clearly displayed…even the Star of Remphan?!?
“For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,”
1 Timothy 2:5 GNV
The False Gospel of baptising babies who don't know they need to repent or believe... False Gospel of amassing millions of dollars in investments and assets while your poor masses go hungry... The False Gospel that doesn't teach the words of Jesus: " I tell you the truth, unless one is Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" The False Gospel that teaches Purgatory, when that's NOWHERE to be found in Scriptures and is most likely in Hell! The False Gospel of elevating Mary to Queen of the Heavens, Empress of the Americas, Co-redemptrix of humanity.... THAT FALSE GOSPEL
In a family group chat on the selection of the pope, I cautioned that if the “World” loves him, most likely not good for the faithful. If Ny slime loves it, hold on to your hats.
The pope is pro-vaccine, promoting and guilting people into taking the jab years ago. What else is there to know about this "traditional" pope?
As a traditional Catholic, one that holds vat 2 and subsequent teaching as mostly heretical, I very much doubted that a traditional Catholic pope would be chosen. I think this will be bergoglio 2.0
Despite the tarnished impression one gets of him, he is "holy". I want to say a lot about it but we're overwhelmingly good folks here, from different places on the christian belief spectrum. God is holy. Have a great weekend everyone. From the RSA.
Matthew 23:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. "
Sorry Dads throughout the world - your honorific has been revoked.
Of course we call people father all the time. This Scripture is telling us to call no one on earth our Heavenly Father. It is cautioning against the false worship of gods.
Good job twisting what I meant. Of course the Bible means God as our Heavenly Father. My post was in regards to the false prophet pope. Sorry if you missed that.
Hope you are right Olle!
I - as a Latin Mass attending, Rosary praying, Confession-going Catholic - say we pray for him and give him a chance. He may very well end up being Bergoglio 2.0 but I'm going to wait until he disappoints me in his role as Pope. Either way, the seat of Peter is filled once again and a 2000+ year institution continues on. Thanks be to G-d!
Before I saw this comment, I knew you were a catholic. There is nothing in the Bible about praying and worshipping Mary as a co-redeemer. Praying of the "rosary" isn't Biblical. Adding words to the Lord's Prayer isn't Biblical. Telling Jesus he needed a priest is blasphemy. And Peter wasn't the first pope. Sorry. That isn't what the Bible says. And how can Peter fill that roll anyway when he was married per the Bible. And Catholics removed the 2nd commandment to get around that little idol issue. Very convenient. But it works out well since you are told not to read the Bible. You can. God inspired the writing of it for everyone. Look up "Proclaiming the Gospel" by Mike Gendron to help you. You are believing a false gospel led by a false prophet. The Bible is true and the true Gospel.
Trump gets it. Stay on offense, always. If the Deep State and Corruptocrats counter-punch, then punch back even harder.
The moment I saw that the new pope was an American I thought “that can’t be a coincidence.” I don’t know what it means yet but just think it’s notable.
more proof that the tariffs are working - now even the Pope is made in America
😂
Touche'!
🤣🤣🤣

Meryl Nass wrote this yesterday:” The WSJ has run 2 articles recently about the Vatican finances. $500,000 lost, then found in a grocery bag. Officials who refuse to record their expenses. Within 0.2 square miles of territory, the Vatican owns billions of dollars worth of art and rare books, but has borrowed to the hilt and runs a steady $ deficit.
When Latin Americans in droves left the Catholic Church and chose Apostolic churches instead that catered more to the poor, a Pope from Argentina was chosen to shepherd the flock back to the original Church.
When Trump started reducing foreign aid, an American Pope, a long-shot, was chosen. Is it always about the money? Well, at least we will be able to understand his accent.”
Came here to say the same thing, Mary Ann. The Vatican bank is the most notoriously corrupt bank in the world. Of course they are reeling from having our tax dollars ripped out from under them via USAID and Catholic Charities. And CC is 100% complicit in trafficking, and for that alone I don't blame anyone for walking away.
Francis elevated 108 men to Cardinal in his 12 year reign, stacking the deck with like minded liberals so I had no hope we'd get someone conservative. Having raised my family in the Chicago suburbs, in Catholic schools, no less, the corruption in ours, and surrounding dioceses was off the chain. We have one of the largest collections of canceled priests - holy and great men who fought against the jab, lockdowns, etc, sacrificing their entire vocation doing the right thing (including my own pastor of 20 years Fr James Parker). Chicago's Cardinal Cupich is one of the most egregious clergy in modern history. Seeing him on that balcony with Prevost smiling ear to ear, gave me real sadness.
Pray for the church. As goes the church, so goes the world.
Bible believing Protestants of various stripes welcome all Conservative Catholics who are disillusioned with your Church.
The Eucharist is the source and summit - there is no man made church who believes this - it's not a symbol. I encourage you to watch the link I attached of a former Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism. I am not disillusioned - the Catholic Church will become a remnant, but it will prevail.
I'll do you the courtesy of not spamming you with links of former Catholics who became Protestant. Far more Catholics become Protestant than vice versa btw. Beware of false gospels
Yes, that's true. For every one person joining the Catholic church, eight leave. I can't remember who wrote this, but he said that except for immigration and the huge size of the Catholic church, it would be going the way of the Episcopal church.
I am one. I have been told ‘former Catholics’ is the fastest growing denomination.
Just looked it up. There are currently 251 Cardinals, but only 134 eligible to vote in a papal concave. The ones who were ineligible to vote were ineligible simply because they had turned 80 before the recent papal vacancy. So beyond a doubt Francis stacked the deck, having appointed 108 out of the 134 voting. Maybe he appointed a few more conservative cardinals in the mix? I don't know. But why would he when he could appoint like minded Cardinals who supported his opinions?
Cupich is terrible. No doubt.
The Vatican Bank and its' corruption goes back centuries. Look up where Cardinal Law ended up living to avoid prosecution.
You should hear what they did to Cardinal George Pell when he went in and started shinning light on the Vatican's finances.
Yeah, the Vatican is corrupt as all getup. But has it always been in debt?
A pope who spent two decades in Peru. Will he succeed in bringing back that Hispanic flock to the pen?
Pray not
Agreed. I also think the choice of his name is significant…can’t wait to see God’s hand moving every day!
I seriously busted out laughing when I heard about Judge Jeanine’s appointment, so awesome!!
God wins always!!!✝️🙏🏼💟
My first thought was “The False Prophet”.
Our family’s fingers started researching scriptures and timelines of end times when ‘it’ was announced and we know that we’re just beginning to see things put in place. We just don’t know because, just as scripture said that as birth pains indicate the birth is near, we still have not been able to say exactly when or what will happen.
The Birth-pains are getting closer and more noticeable! Keep looking up!
Except I’m thinking the false prophet will be Muslim.
I think he spent the last 20 years in Peru, and also holds Peruvian citizenship.
Imo, he would not have been chosen if he had not spent most of his career in Peru.
I thought the same
I keep thinking (to myself), "Is this what is really happening? Does Trump represent an American oligarch push back against the international banking system composed of the British Crown/City of London, the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (the Rothschild's bank) and the Vatican? Is this finally payback for the 1912 slaughter of the American oligarchs on board the Titanic who opposed their debt based monetary/slavery system and the subsequent 1913 Constitutional coup under the globalist Wilson that enslaved all Americans to their phoney banking system?"
I keep musing on this question but here is someone who is actually saying it out loud. History moves in cycles and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. America has been enslaved to the international banking system via the Federal Reserve and the Federal Income Tax for over 100 years which has now driven America to the brink of bankruptcy both individually and nationally. The globalists have had their day, staged an actual Marxist coup of the USG via election fraud and imposed an attempted mass democide of the American people via a militarily deployed kill shot/medical "experiment". I have to think that the American oligarchs who care about their own survival as well as the survival of what we call America have had enough and began a program over 15 years ago to prepare for this day of retribution/liberation. Are we in the middle of the biggest war on American soil since the so-called Civil War?

Thanks for the link, I’m going to give the podcast a listen as I’m almost out of reading time for this morning.
🤔
Thanks I will save for tonight
No.
I'll be happy to eat crow if I am wrong.
I know. Too much to hope for, right? That's why I kept my thoughts to myself until I saw this video. Ah to be a fly on the wall of history! It's like waiting for the next episode to drop in your favorite TV series.
Now don't get me wrong. I have no illusions about America going back in time to what we use to be in history. The constitutional republic ceased to exist a long time ago. Whatever the US evolves into in the future, it will be something different. And the USG is not about to give up their empire. It may get scaled back and made more manageable and the geo-political priorities may be realigned as Marxism is finally rejected by the USG as a "raison d'etre". That alone would make me happy.
My guess is the the USG will become more of what we are seeing in the changes right now. Today, governance is being accomplished PRIMARILY through Presidential Executive Orders (rather than through legislation) much the same when ancient Rome ceased being a republic and Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to become emperor to the cheers of the Roman citizens. I expect that the USG will become (or already is) an authoritarian government not unlike the government in today's Russia under Putin.
And again, better a benevolent authoritarian government rather than a nihilistic, satanic dictatorship bent on the subjugation and destruction of it's own people. Those are the choices we have recently faced.
Thanks for sharing your interesting perspective, Phil.
It seems as though they are busy building the AI control grid, so I don't have a lot of hope that they are riding in on a white horse to save us peasants.
Yeah, that's a concern. Luongo had a few comments about this but I really don't understand it all.
Illegal aliens deserve aggressive representation, but not J6 defendants according to dis-Hon Sen. Tillis.
Good morning from beautiful North Idaho ❤️
Good morning from houston TX where we’ve actually had spring this year and, for once, it isn’t already insufferably hot.
That explains the multiple posts by my son, detailing the work he has been doing on his plane. Working in the hangar is not pleasant for much of the year.
81° is supposed to be our high today. 81! In May!
Good morning from the Pacific Northwest!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Good morning from Grants Pass OR!
My dad’s birthplace 😊!
Another gorgeous area
You related to Mack The Knife?
"Look out old Mack, he is back!"
I do have a jack knife that I keep out of sight!
Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
Lol! But, no!
Mrs. "the Knife"
One of my favorite places to hike
It has been absolutely gorgeous here for several days now - everything in bloom, blue skies and temps in the upper 60s and into the 70s! But of course, it is supposed to rain this weekend for Mother's Day!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Good morning from Mid-Missouri
Another hello from MidMo!
Two of us? That’s fantastic.
I'm native to Missouri. Can I be in this club? :)
Yes!! I am actually a native Californian with 38 years in Missouri. We are a mixed v bag.
Some of our relatives moved out there within the last 6 months. They seem to be enjoying it, with the possible exception of the single digit temps in January. Kirksville is the nearest town of note.
We do have some cold weather.
Good morning from Eastern Washington
We have family in E. WA - love going over the mountains to visit. We feel a huge weight lift off of us when we get over Snoqualmie Pass!
Mrs. "the Knife"
My sister says she always feels like the sun comes out when she hits the top of Steven’s pass.
The sun's shining right now here in Cheney.
Good morning from Central Oregon! It’s an ‘almost big’ birthday weekend for me, and Mother’s Day! Mom turned 91 recently!
Good morning, Karen and a very Happy Birthday to you!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Thank you dear Mrs “the Knife” 🌸
😊
Happy birthday!! And belated to your mom!
Thank you Sue! 🌷
Good morning, neighbor.
Good morning from Central Valley of California!
Good morning from rainy SE Pa!
Hi neighbor!
Montco.
Upper Bucks
Get together?
Let’s! Dm me
From the Bluegrass State, which is actually very, very green from all of the rain!
Good afternoon from Cleveland, OH! God has blessed us with a beautiful sunny day today, probably our last full day here before heading back to Oklahoma!
I heard that the mayor of Boise is challenging the new state law against gay flags on public flagpoles. And the Boise city council backed him up. I’m thinking the conservatives in that city need to get to work.
Boise is full of libs now. Kind of like Bend. Not as bad as the valley, but getting close.
What valley is that?
The Willamette Valley, Portland especially.
