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?
The most recent phase of the US war against Germany began with Obama's "cash for clunkers" and the bullshit attack on German turbo diesels. With turbo diesels getting 50+ miles per gallon, there was no reason to ever make an electric car. So, Obama's cronies took most used cars off the market and ginned up some bullshit lawsuit about turbo diesel emissions thereby shutting the whole turbo diesel project down. This created a fake market for electric cars that nobody really wanted anyway.
I wish more folks understood this. Modern diesel engines are cleaner than gasoline engines. I live in California. I actually have to have a smog inspection on my 2006 ford 6.0 diesel engine with 20093 k on it. Uses zero oil. No Leaks. I cruise and 85 on the I-5. I can pull most any grade 65 MPH pulling my 32 foot 5th wheel and a flat trailer the 4 tons of hay. I just wish I got 50 mpg.
