Pope Leo XIV just went viral belting out “L.O.V.E” with Michael Bublé at the Vatican’s Concert with the Poor, a Christmas event where the front rows are filled with homeless and low-income guests.

Michael Bublé called it “the greatest night” of his career.

The full story is below.

The American people deserve to feel protected by their president. Not attacked by him.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Twin Cities religious leaders unite to support Somali community and condemn Trump attacks Religious leaders from churches, Jewish temples and mosques from across the state opposed remarks from President Donald Trump that included calling Somalis “garbage.”

“No human being is garbage, Mr. President, and shame on you for saying so,” said the Lutheran pastor.“In the name of Jesus, I rebuke those hateful words.The Somali community in Minnesota are our neighbors, brothers and sisters, children of God, fellow Americans.”

This story more than any other disgusts me.

Yinka was a little 9 year old boy

Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17

We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

Have to admit it. "Alcoholic Fox News host uses US Navy to kill people at random on boats in the Caribbean because an extremist podcast producer asked him to, while Trump pardons drug dealer kingpins because a tech guy asked" is rather a lot darker than anything I imagined when he was reelected.

Hi Jim, I’ve tried for a while to donate but for some reason my bank keeps declining (perhaps because I live in France?)

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

OpenAI says teen's 'misuse' of ChatGPT is to blame for his suicide, because he broke the TOU: 'Users must comply with OpenAI's Usage Policies, which prohibit the use of ChatGPT for suicide or self-har... The lawyer presenting Adam Raine's family calls the response "disturbing" and I have to agree.

In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:

Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Donald Trump expects Ukrainians to be ‘grateful’ as he prepares a carve-up of the country with Putin.

We can’t let that happen - Starmer must work with our European allies to stop this stitch-up in its tracks.

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States.

Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

President Zelenskyy is thanking again other leaders for their support. How about we all thank him and all Ukrainians. They are fighting Putin and keeping us safe. If Putin wins we all lose and Europe is finished.

Thank you President Zelenskyy and all Ukrainians 🇺🇦🙏

Judge me at next election, Starmer tells doubters

Judge me at next election, Starmer tells doubters

Nah, I am judging you right now. Don't get me wrong, Starmer and Labour will be judged at the next election, but by then we will have the Reform government they enabled, with the policies they have laid the framework for. So, yeah, I will judge them now for being a bunch of grotesque panderers.

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin.

Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.
