Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.

Not so fast. Catholic Nationalists have Peter Theil, JD Vance, five justices on SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, and many other inroads into the Christian Nationalist movement. They have been the brains and money behind the movement from the beginning during it's early Reagan years. They knew Catholicism was too fractured to provide any kind of powerful political base, but the Southern Baptist Convention was a different story. The Christian Nationalist story is along way from it's last chapter.
I believe it is that very fractured nature of Catholicism that will allow southern evangelicals to ultimately triumph in a final Sunni/Shiite style internecine struggle for post-liberal power.
Catholicism has swung to the right. Most of the Vatican II social justice Catholics are gone now. Catholics are now a rightwing political block with some muscle.
