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.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

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

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.

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

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.
She has been on a govt salary for years.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I am very much in sympathy with your thoughts about inflation. What has occurred in Washington DC in the last 15 years since 2008 (Quantitative Easing, e.g., manufacturing “money” via debt) is the very definition of “inflation.”
It is certainly true that inflation steals from the savings of the thrifty and productive; the desperation savers feel about protecting their assets from this theft is highly understandable.
The question before us is whether cryptocurrency offers a solution to the problem of “fiat” currency. I myself think not, for one simple reason: instead of being subject to the whims of the political class as to expansion of the money supply, I would become subject to the whims of a mob of speculators untethered to anything but their baseless speculations about the future price of a cryptocurrency.
My personal distrust of cryptocurrency is of no persuasive value to anyone else. It would be better to look to someone with mathematical skills, investing sophistication, and experience who can address the various claims made for cryptocurrencies. It just so happens that such a person has written on this very subject. His name is Nassim Nicholas Taleb; he is the author of “The Black Swan” and “Fooled by Randomness.”
This paper is a bit technical, but well worth reading. Here is the technical publication:
“Bitcoin, Currencies, and Fragility” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, available online at arxiv.org/abs/2106.14204
Taleb’s conclusions are also reported in plain English in several business-related magazines, viewable online.
