In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

For the record, this is the opposite of throwing Kristi Noem under the bus. This is making clear that the decision was made at the highest possible level to assure minimal judicial scrutiny when they run to SCOTUS.

Posobiec is that very normal sort of "conservative" who happens to have a great admiration for a fairly obscure figure from the 1930s named Denis Fahey who is only remembered in, shall we say, one particular niche subculture. bsky.app/profile/seth...
Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

DOGE was not a failure. Its purpose was to use the completely fabricated claim of “efficiency” to irreparably annihilate vast amounts of federal government infrastructure, which it did instantly, violently, and in ways we will not see the full repair of in our lifetimes.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
