The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Yesterday should have been a once-in-a-lifetime miracle for the Republican Party and American conservatives, the kind of event that would render any film or television screenplay vulnerable to fair accusations of jumping the shark.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

Trump would be a fool not to collect information about the treason he witnessed and the bureaucracy would be fools for not trying to steal them. I don’t like Trump but I hate and fear our corrupt out of control criminal bureaucracy.
I agree Trump is better without Twitter so he can shoot himself in the foot less often. I like many of his policies but he’s an asshole to critics too often for me to like him. That said I think Joe is the biggest most corrupt idiot our system has produced to date and people should have known it but they hated Trump so much they never bothered to look at Joes 40 year record.

You obviously don’t appreciate leadership. Your focus on a personality quirk that you don’t like in Donald Trump. Perhaps you’re a little bit jealous of his powerful manly attitude towards people who criticize him. A lot of people did not like George Patton but he won wars. I want a winner. The stake’s are too high to go for the winner of a personality contest. perhaps you prefer the smooth talking Communist Barack Obama? Obama seemed like a nice guy but don’t you realize a lot of what’s going on in our government has his fingerprints all over it?
