The PR Risks of Prejudging the Pope
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/9/2025 10:14:56 AM
Free PR tip for conservative women: If you’re ever asked to be on the TV news and talk about a faith-based issue (abortion, Christianity, etc.), never wear heavy makeup, loud clothes, or oversized jewelry. (Actually, this is a good rule to follow if you’re a man, too.) Even if you’re super proud of it, leave your super-big crucifix at home. Why? Because the liberal media likes to portray religious conservatives as crazy, unhinged lunatics, and that kind of attire feeds into the stereotype. Don’t help the enemy make you look stupid. And this brings us to the brewing controversy of Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chi-Town

Expel Deranged, Violent Democrat Rep.

One of the craziest stories of the year broke on Friday after a contingent of Democrat politicians stormed an ICE facility in New Jersey, supposedly in protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. But while they claimed to have done nothing wrong, the more evidence emerged, the more obvious it became that they were lying through their teeth.
As RedState reported, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested on site, tried to play the victim on CNN. Video then emerged showing that he breached a checkpoint and refused to leave after multiple requests.
The behavior of three Democrat congressional members was arguably even worse.
In what appears to be a political course-change for the ages, Alaska's own nominally Republican senior Senator, Princess Lisa Murkowski, suddenly seems to be speaking in approving tones of FBI Director Kash Patel, whose nomination she opposed.
But that approval seems to be limited to a few issues, although they are serious issues.
During a Senate committee hearing this week, Murkowski engaged in a substantive exchange with Director Patel, focusing on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls crisis and Alaska’s worsening fentanyl epidemic.
“This is a week that a lot of Alaskans are paying attention to,” Murkowski began,
Day one of the critical trade talks between the United States and China in Switzerland is over. Progress has been made, though some in the media seem to be cheering for a total collapse of these negotiations. Politico especially is insufferable, with the headline “the US-China trade meeting’s low bar: Progress.” That’s a good thing, you guys. The real low bar is no one walking out and an ending the talks on the first day: [Tweets]
President Donald Trump signaled Friday that his soaring tariffs on China may soon begin to drop. That doesn’t mean the two countries are close to a deal.

As RedState reported, things got spicy in New Jersey on Friday after a group of Democrat politicians tried to break into an ICE detention facility. (Snip) All three Democrat House members attempted to shove their way through a group of ICE agents who were guarding the first checkpoint into the facility. [Tweet, video]
One Democrat was arrested, though. That would be Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who went even further in his confrontation with ICE agents. Naturally, after he was charged and released, he ran off to CNN to play the victim.
Air Traffic Control lost radar for 90 seconds at Newark Airport on Friday.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there was a telecommunications outage at Newark Liberty International Airport.
“There was a telecommunications outage that impacted communications and radar display at Philadelphia TRACON Area C, which guides aircraft in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport airspace. The outage occurred around 3:55 a.m. on Friday, May 9, and lasted approximately 90 seconds,” the FAA said on Friday morning.

No one is above the law.
The Mayor of Newark was arrested for criminal trespass on Friday after storming an ICE detention facility.
Mayor Ras Baraka joined members of Congress to inspect the Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey when all hell broke loose.
In February, ICE announced it was expanding detention capacity with the Delaney Hall facility.
“This detention center is the first to open under the new administration,” said acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello in February. “The location near an international airport streamlines logistics, and helps facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our custody as we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, detain and remove illegal aliens from our communities.”
As RedState reported, the Catholic Church now has a new Pope, with Cardinal Robert Prevost being selected Thursday on the fourth ballot and announced roughly an hour after white smoke began blowing from the Sistine Chapel's chimney in Rome late in the afternoon local time.
Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV, said during his speech to the world that "We must seek together how to be a missionary Church, a Church that builds bridges, dialogue, always open to receive like this square with its open arms, all, all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue and love."
Born in Chicago, Pope Leo XIV becomes the first ever American Pope.
Since losing bigly in the 2024 election, Democrats have been busy regrouping, criticizing the Trump administration, and, apparently, introducing ridiculous legislation to make spectacles of themselves.
Enter Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who announced on Thursday that he is introducing a bill that would require businesses to display the increase in prices due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
“If the President and his Cabinet of billionaires are forcing Americans to pay a lot more for consumer goods, the people have a right to know just how much,” he wrote in a post on X.
Here's the Missing Context on the Story

The Los Angeles Times is being called out for its headline on the “undocumented grandmother” who is facing deportation after a “wrong turn.”
Ana Camero, who has been living in the United States illegally for 20 years, was driving home from work when she mistakenly drove into the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego.
When the 64-year-old was asked for her identification, she had none, so immigration authorities were called.
“It was just a wrong turn,” her daughter, Melissa Hernández, told news station Telemundo 20.
Camero has lived in the United States for more than 20 years.
Police arrested a Pennsylvania man for allegedly fatally shooting a teenager during a reported burglary that is believed to have been part of a TikTok prank.
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) arrested Tyler Chase Butler, 27, earlier this week. The suspect is being charged with 2nd degree murder, malicious wounding, and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to ABC 7.
Butler is being held without bail. [Tweet]
Michael Bosworth Jr., an 18-year-old senior at Massaponax High School, was gunned down after Butler believed he was trying to break into his home. He was hit in the torso.
One of the left’s strangest hills to die on in recent years is this insistence that men and boys should be able to play in women’s and girls’ sports. For a political movement that has made such a big deal about feminism for generations, it’s inexplicable that leftists are okay with biological males taking medals, records, and scholarships away from the girls and women who have worked and trained so hard to excel on the field, on the court, or in the pool.
Thankfully, President Donald Trump recognizes the insanity of denying hardworking girls and women their ability to compete safely and fairly.

Aww, now isn’t this nice? The Biden crime family is facing a serious cash crunch now that its patriarch is out of power and the influence-peddling machine has ground to a halt.
As we previously reported, on Thursday, Joe and Jill Biden made a live appearance on “The View” in New York City, and according to Mark Halperin, the move is part of a broader effort to rehabilitate Joe Biden’s image after a disastrous first 100 days back in private life. “There’s a story in Politico today that says they’ve hired the former Pentagon spokesperson to manage the Biden comeback,” Halperin said. “Joe Biden wants to be out there…

Takes Veiled Shot at Trump After Roberts

Without mentioning his name, liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took a veiled shot at President Trump on Thursday evening. During remarks at an event for the American Bar Association in DC, Sotomayor told lawyers in attendance to stand up and fight against unprecedented attacks.[Snip] Sotomayor’s comments come after Chief Justice Roberts on Wednesday evening rebuked President Trump AGAIN in a rare public appearance.This is the second time Roberts has publicly lashed out at President Trump in recent months.
The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.
The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection.
However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.
Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is underwater among Democratic voters in his state according to an internal poll. The poll was performed from Feb. 6 to 11 — three months before New York Magazine released an article reporting that staff and other sources close to the senator worry for his physical and mental health, which Fetterman has since called a “one-source hit piece.” With the poll arriving on the heels of the story, Democrats have “begun looking into rules” regarding the senator’s potential resignation and are “whispering about potential replacements,” according to Politico, who first reported the poll.
It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret.
That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives (snip) … the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president. That innovation doesn’t work if … the judiciary’s not independent. Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses
Former President Joe Biden appeared on “The View” earlier this week, and Democrats are about as happy as a housefly in a spider web.
The former president sat down with the ladies on “The View” and discussed his presidency while slamming President Donald Trump, saying he had “the worst 100 days any president’s ever had.”
Biden laughably suggested that he was in full control of his faculties while serving as president. However, he did take a modicum of responsibility for the Democrats’ humiliating losses in 2024, saying, “I was in charge, and he won.”
There were some rather awkward moments during his appearance in which his wife, former first lady Jill Biden,
Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka and three congressional representatives, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver attempted a political stunt at a local ICE detention facility in Newark. Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested.
The intention of the group was to shut down deportation operations at Delaney Hall, a 1,000-bed detention facility used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of the removal process for illegal aliens. Baraka, Coleman, Menendez and McIver created a public disturbance as part of their stunt and trespassed on federal facilities.
As an outcome, Mayor Ras Baraka was handcuffed and led away by federal authorities as the agitated crowd tried to fight
The Justice Department on Friday opened an investigation into the planned Sharia City near Dallas, Senator Cornyn said. Last month Texas Governor Greg Abbott launched a campaign against a planned Islamic “mega-city” outside Dallas. The East Plano Islamic Center, via its affiliate Community Capitol Partners, is seeking to construct a 1,000-home settlement around 40 minutes from Dallas.The “Sharia City” would come complete with a mega mosque, Sharia adherent Muslim schools, community college, and sporting facilities.
The Catholic Church’s new Pope has publicly described migration as a “huge problem” even as he also urges Christians to treat migrants with respect.
“It’s a huge problem, and it’s a problem worldwide, not only in this country. There’s got to be a way both to solve the problem, but also treat people with respect,” then-Cardinal Robert Prevost preached in a Catholic Mass, according to an undated video:
Scientists at CERN Turn Lead Into Gold
19 replies
Scientists at CERN have turned lead into gold during high-speed experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), achieving a phenomenon once confined to ancient legend. The findings, published by the ALICE collaboration in Physical Review Journals, confirm that gold atoms can form under extreme conditions created during heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. While the transformation is temporary and cannot be harnessed for practical use, it marks a major scientific milestone. For centuries, alchemists have attempted to turn common metals into gold. This concept, once dismissed as pseudoscience, has now gained experimental footing.
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) signalling his administration’s prioritization of the nation’s veterans rather than illegals.The EO will redirect funds from housing for illegals to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence. The Center will be located on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles. A Trump administration official told Fox News, “The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives.” The initiative will focus and providing shelter, healthcare, and job training to veterans in need and will partner with private organizations to expand support and resources.

and GOP nominee who often sided with liberals, dies 19 replies
WASHINGTON – Former Supreme Court Associate Justice David Souter, a Republican nominee who sided with his liberal colleagues in many high-profile cases in his 19-year tenure, has died. He was 85. (Snip) A former New Hampshire attorney general, Souter’s background as a New England moderate put him at odds with the more conservative Republican Party forged by Ronald Reagan’s presidency. That perspective often left Souter in dissent on a conservative high court led by former Chief Justice William Rehnquist. An intensely private man who eschewed Washington’s social scene and rarely appeared in public, Souter was a central figure in a
