  1. This woman is a liar. The activist left has clearly gotten to her.

    “Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife: “It’s been 50 days. 50 days of pain and suffering… As we finally saw the proof that Kilmar was alive, my children and I had to watch Trump and Bukele’s administration laugh at our pain”

    “NEW: Audio recording of the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia depicts her begging a judge for a protective order from her abusive husband.

    Jennifer Vasquez Sura could be heard explaining how she was physically beaten by Abrego Garcia & brainwashed by his family.

    “He would just wake up and hit me. And then last Saturday for my daughter’s birthday party, before I went to my daughter’s birthday party he slapped me three times.”

    “And then last week, I did call the police. My sister called the police because he hit me in front of my sister.”

    Just your typical ‘Maryland Man’ according to the left.”

  2. I see our trash media is at it again.

    “96% of media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is positive.

    96% of media coverage of Elon Musk is negative.

    One man was an illegal gang member the other man is exposing government theft.

    So telling…”

    “You simply can’t make this up. The deceptively edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris at the heart of Trump’s $20 lawsuit against CBS was just nominated for an Emmy for, wait for it, OUTSTANDING EDITING!”

  3. “DOGE: The United States Institute of Peace was a vipers den of secrets. Hoards of weapons, cash, and when they were about to be exposed at least four individuals began deleting terabytes of data. The DOGE team even found multiple secret bank accounts. The FBI and DOJ is investigating.”

    “The DOGE team says that when they went into the US Institute for PEACE they had loaded GUNS inside their headquarters trying to resist the DOGE team. They were spending money on things like private jets and had a contract with the Taliban.

    Their chief accountant deleted over 1TB of financial data over the past years and the DOGE team was able to recover it.

    They received $55M a year from congress and any money that went unspent got swept into a private bank account which had no congressional oversight and used it to fund parties and the private jet.

    at the INSTITUTE FOR PEACE!

    The DOGE team says they reported their findings to the FBI and DOJ.

    “It was by far the least peaceful agency we’ve ever dealt with.””

  7. “Sure looks like major federal campaign violations by George E Moose. US Institute of Peace – the guy who blocked the entry of DOGE into that facility.

    Police had to be called, then Mr. Moose filed a lawsuit against President Trump (the fed govt) to try and block DOGE/funding cuts.

    Mr. Moose had a white noise machine running, disabled the elevators, he disconnected the internet, blocked the doors. He barricaded himself in the building…a federal govt. paid for building.

    DOGE along with police who were called, found a large store of weapons and money payments to the TALIBAN. “

  8. “The firing of national security advisor Mike Waltz appears to be part of the battle between the ultra pro-Israel and ultra-ultra pro-Israel wings of the @realDonaldTrump administration”

    “Trump advisers accused Mike Waltz of not “working for the president of your country,” but instead “working for the president of another country”(you’ll never guess which one).

    Waltz angered Trump by plotting with Netanyahu to attack Iran and then kept pushing Trump to do it.”

  9. In my promise to spread light rather than heat 🙂 :

    ~ Donald Trump (The Atlantic): “I run the country and the world”

    The Rev Chris Davis: Of all the people who think they run the world, my favorite who actually does:

    “He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove, The glories of his righteousness, And Wonders of His love.” ~

    And Amen to that, this Saturday. Blessings.

  14. It is one thing for a random person to post a joke about Trump becoming pope. But it is another matter for the president of the United States to joke about something that may offend a whole lot of Catholics. Just because some are not offended doesn’t negate that others are.

  15. I would say points this week go to Bill Kristol (re above) & to 60 Minutes (the latter for having the courage to go up against their owners worried about the bottom line in light of the current administration’s threats).

    I’m guessing my Roman Catholic friends are most definitely not amused today. Many voters alienated, trust me it was not “funny.” A joke that fell flat and (politically) much worse.

  16. While I find the “ joke” in poor taste and sophomoric at best I would expect better from a President .

    Kind of like Biden celebrating transgender recognition day on Easter last year. And Obama lighting up the “people’s house” aka the White House in rainbow colors celebrating homosexual legislation passed. Both of those were highly offensive to believers.

    Then there was that painting of Clinton dressed like a woman lounging in a chair….

  18. Thinking about JD Vance being Catholic and he takes his faith seriously . . .

    I think Trump likes to role play as in being a garbage truck driver, a McDonald’s worker, etc. It seems to be like Cosplay or Halloween costumes. He sees the Pope as another world leader and he wanted to try on the costume.

    It is not my kind of fun, and seems silly, but it is a part of his branding to do such things.

  19. Bill Kristol is so eaten up with anti-Trump sentiment he’d rather embrace the mutilating trans movement than agree with Trump. Sowing discord in the MAGA movement is apparently all he has left. That being said, Trump himself does more damage to the movement he popularized. He is his own worst enemy sometimes, and NJ’s comparisons are spot on.

  20. I think Trump is burnt out. Tired and worn out and angry from all the lawfare he’s been through. Yet it is amazing to me that even burnt out he’s accomplished more on the border than any other president in my lifetime. He’s closed the gushing flow of illegals to an occasional drip, thereby proving that it was always possible if other presidents had simply wanted to do it. They didn’t and were lying when they said they did. I am still hopeful about some other parts of the MAGA agenda. However, I am concerned about Trump himself, his mental state and unpredictability which seem to have gotten much worse this term.

  21. Seems to be a lot of that going around in NT and establishment circles. See any day’s news thread.

  22. That’s what happens Debra when running for reelection is off the table. It’s freed him from the constraints and idiotic niceties others are forced to play by.

    I find it refreshing and honest, for a change.

  26. AJ, it’s not the lack of niceties that concerns me. He needs personal rejuvenation from the enormous pressures he’s been under for the last few years. Physical, emotional and spiritual rejuvenation—especially spiritual. I’m not thinking Paula White will be much help there. We can only pray for him now.

  30. Although a cool juxtaposition of horses’ names, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution would disagree with the idea of “Sovereignty” over “Journalism”:

    ~ ” Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ~

    One day the political shoe may be on the other foot, and the sources popular on this thread would be the ones being frozen out.

  31. Although some Catholics are more casual about their religion, others are not. In Catholic doctrine, the pope is the “Vicar of Christ,” and considered to be in the same position as the Apostle Peter.

  32. Actually, I think without sovereignty there are no amendments nor a constitution to be amended. Without sovereignty, we’re still subjects of England.

  33. In Trump’s current state I wouldn’t be surprised to see him say something truly and unequivocally blasphemous. He’s going in a dangerous direction. And it’s not humorous. He shouldn’t be encouraged in it. I’m sad for him. :–(
