I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

Shame.

I am never watching Jake Tapper. Disgusting that he writes a book attacking a man who has done so much for his country.

During his first homily as pope, delivered in Italian, Leo said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
