NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Get rid of Kristi Noem. Not only is she unqualified for her job, she has failed the American people in every possible way. Let her spend some time in the rat holes she sends detanies and American citizens to. She is despicable in every way. Always focused on herself, doesn't tell the truth.

Trump agrees and says Nvidia can sell the chips if it gives the US a kickback. The payment does nothing to enhance security.
Why is this not just Trump extorting private business?

This is the second time Pope Leo has gone viral this year for his singing abilities. The first was a resurfaced video his 2014 rendition of "Feliz Navidad."

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Why wasn't this in mainstream media?
The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
