I keep imagining Johnson leading a good Christian confession prayer group every evening where they confess their sins of lying, ignoring the poor, etc. and think that's all they have to do to please God. Of course K. Leavitt will be there with a giant cross around her neck. What hypocrites.

Senate votes down resolution to prevent Trump from continuing war with Iran War powers vote broke along party lines with almost all Democrats in support and most Republicans opposed

Everyone who voted for preventing Trump should be getting the word out and name those who disregarded their responsibilities. It didn't get to the House, so my weasel of a Congressman didn't have a chance to show he has no spine (NJ-4) @newjerseymonitor.com

Spain's government denies cooperating with US operations in Mideast, contradicting White House Spain’s foreign minister has denied that the government has changed its position on supporting the U.S. military operations against Iran.

O my goodness Karoline Leavitt lied! 😱 I would be more surprised if she ever told the truth.

Gee, Kristi Noem said your wrong. Could she be lying? Actually, like every member of the current cabinet, you can tell they're lying if their mouths are moving. They learned from DJT's famous book, The Art of Lying.

Ambassador Mike Waltz said at the U.N., that the Iranian ambassador "sits here, in this body, representing a regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people, and imprisoned many more, simply for wanting freedom from your entire tyranny.”
Sounds like that's where DJT's U.S. is heading.

OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon hours after Trump admin bans Anthropic | CNN Business OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced late Friday that the company had signed a deal with the Pentagon for its AI tools to be used in the military’s classified systems, but with seemingly similar guardrails...

Sam Altman is just another greedy techbro who would sell his soul to the devil, and has. Stop using OpenAI tools.

Congress, do your job. You must not let the current administration continue to act when the las/Consitution clearly say otherwise.

Melania Trump to lead UN security council session, White House says First lady to preside over meeting on β€˜children, technology and education in conflict’ in New York next month

Yes, we're sending our best and brightest...NOT! But it is an example of education in conflict.

DJT is not the problem. He's a dying old grifter, with no moral compass. The people behind him let him do his think and continue to grift while they also gain wealth, accumulate power, and he gets all the blame. What a perfect dupe.

@corybooker.com I don't understand why you, the governor, and the city leaders of Roxbury, and any others who care are unable to stop this.

Yes, we did know that all along. And Congress had the responsibility to stop it. I'm sure there were ways, but you all spent the time talking and doing nothing. We need leaders who will do their job. And this is true for both parties. The job is simple: uphold the law and follow the Constitution.

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

Beware of AI responses.

I often think this Franciscan priest is a bit too dogmatic, but in this post, I think he hits the nail on the head. This, in my opinion, gives a good approach to how we #Catholic #Christians should consider a faithful response to current events. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhZJ...

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Shame on NBC.

No Christian would EVER support Donald Trump. Trump is 180 degrees the opposite of Jesus of Nazareth.

People like Mike Johnson expose Exactly who and what they are.

I'm not sure what God they are praying to, but I have trouble believing that it's the God who gave us the Beatitudes and some other, pretty good, advice.

Of course it must stop. You keep saying that, yet it seems that it's all talk. MLK didn't just preach, he was out in the streets marching with the people. If you can't get anything done by talking, get out and march.
