During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

That is at least 300,000 too many! These children should have the right to grow up and become whatever they want to be and not a slave to these losers! It should be illegal in every state to marry a child!

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly
