Pope Leo's Flawed War Doctrine
Posted By: 4250Luis, 4/7/2026 6:30:55 AM
Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the "American Pope" confused the real enemy in the war. Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square, the Pope claimed that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war "atrocious" violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn't hear the prayers of people whose "hands (are) full of blood."

California’s education budget has grown into one of the largest public spending commitments in the United States, yet the relationship between funding and student outcomes remains weak, uneven, and increasingly difficult to defend. Over the past decade, state leaders have treated higher appropriations as a substitute for structural reform. That approach has produced a system where spending expands automatically, while accountability mechanisms remain largely unchanged. California now spends roughly $150 billion annually on K–12 education, more than double its inflation-adjusted spending from the early 2000s. Per-pupil spending has climbed to approximately $18,000 statewide, placing California among the higher-spending states in the country.
Everyone but America’s Left now acknowledges reality: Iran’s theocracy is an irredeemable terrorist regime. Whatever shred of doubt remained before the current conflict has been removed over the last few weeks. Terror is what it does and why it exists. The current U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran is due solely to the theocracy’s use of terror throughout its 47-year reign.
The theocracy has maintained itself through terror at home. The theocracy has sponsored terror groups and their activities around the world. The theocracy’s desire for terror to even greater degrees spurred its own desire to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver them.
During this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) applauded President Donald Trump for the U.S. military’s progress in what he described as “systemically” eliminating the threat Iran posed to Americans and our allies.
“What does it tell you about where we are with the capabilities of Iran’s missile launching, their air defenses, the fact that they do still have some tools in their belt?” host Shannon Bream asked.McCormick replied, “Well, I think you really have to step back. Five presidents have essentially said that we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon and that Iran building up its capabilities in the region has to be checked.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman.
Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her hen-pecked husband Gavin’s lofty political ambitions.
No wonder he’s taken to moping around and crying at press conferences.
As the California governor’s presidential aspirations head south and his state’s woes become impossible to ignore, he’s tried in vain to reset his ailing brand — and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over.Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from Donald Trump’s Cabinet is proof that the president is waging a “war on all women.”
A young man was killed, and another man was left in critical condition after a relentless gunman shot the pair several times on a Brooklyn street on Easter Sunday, according to harrowing surveillance footage and authorities.
Police discovered a 30-year-old man and a 50-year-old man both riddled with gunshot wounds after they responded to reports of a shooting just before 6 p.m. outside a building on Fulton Street between Cleveland and Elton Street in Cypress Hills, according to the NYPD.Both unidentified men were taken to Brookdale University Medical Center in critical condition. The 30-year-old was later pronounced dead, police said.
On Sunday, the Daily Wire dropped an exclusive report by Mary Margaret Olohan reporting that the current chief of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights division, Harmeet Dhillon, is to be promoted by President Trump to the position of Associate Attorney General - one of the top spots in the DOJ. Dhillon has brought some high-profile actions while heading up the Civil Rights division, including suing states for refusing to hand over statewide voter registration lists, as well as for Title IX violations, including most notably allowing boys to compete on girls' sports teams in the schools.
Former CENTCOM Commander Delivers the Perfect Comment on the Rescue of Officer From Iran The action to rescue crew members who were shot down in Iran says that, in spades.
But don't listen to me. Listen to what former CENTCOM commander, retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, had to say. He appeared on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday. He was commander during the first Trump term, as well as under Joe Biden. McKenzie said he drew two lessons from the action: "First of all, the excellence of the joint force and our ability to rapidly pivot to look for a downed air crewman."
The United States is dismantling Iran's military machine in real time. We’ve nearly destroyed its ability to launch missiles and drones. Its navy is wiped out. Most of its military facilities are damaged or destroyed. The U.S. and Israel own the skies over Iran. Thousands of targets have been hit, and the regime's defense industrial base is being systematically torn apart to make sure it can't rearm later. The terrorist regime is being decimated militarily, and their dismal situation grows bleaker by the day – their only hope is to make a deal with President Trump's administration and leave behind their nuclear ambitions for good,”
Is Los Angeles waking up?
According to the California Post, there's been a change in the polling pattern for the Los Angeles mayor's race, which in a crowded field suddenly shows a conservative in second place, with most voters still undecided. The primary is in June and a runoff will be held in November if no candidate manages to break 50% of the vote.
The Post reports:
Reality TV star Spencer Pratt is becoming a real player in Los Angeles politics, rocketing into second place in the latest mayor’s race poll and scrambling what was already shaping up to be a volatile election.
The Supreme Court of the United States recently heard arguments on the future of birthright citizenship, a moment that forces the country to revisit a question that is both constitutional and deeply personal: What does it mean to be an American citizen?
Before parsing the language of the Fourteenth Amendment or debating the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” we have to return to first principles. Citizenship is not simply a matter of where someone happens to be born.
American citizenship has always been more than a geographic accident. It is a covenant between the individual and a constitutional framework built on the rule of law, individual liberty,
Two relatives of a notorious Iranian terrorist were busted after getting caught living on United States soil like queens on US soil for years.
On Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement on X, which revealed that the niece and grand-niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani have been arrested in Los Angeles.
Rubio also announced that he has revoked their green cards.
Here is the full statement: Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States.

Leave it to the woke left to ignore, well, reality.
In the latest episode of Woke Progressives Gone Wild, former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe is back to her usual shenanigans, denying biology in favor of having dudes play in women's sports. You'd think, having been a soccer player, a sport which I am given to understand required speed, strength, agility, and endurance, she's know better; but, clearly, she doesn't know, or care, about the differences between men and women.
Former U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe ripped the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for implementing a new policy to ensure fairness across women’s competitions.
IThe era of privacy is officially over in the “New Hong Kong,” and if you’re an American traveling abroad, you are now a target for the Communist-controlled regime. According to a recent warning issued by the U.S. Consulate, Americans entering or even transiting through Hong Kong could now face criminal charges simply for refusing to unlock their phones or provide passwords to authorities. Under newly updated enforcement rules tied to Hong Kong’s sweeping National Security Law, police now have the authority to demand access to personal electronic devices, including phones and laptops, on the spot. And here’s the catch: Refusing to comply is now a criminal offense

to scrap gas tax, replace it with vehicle
weight fee 26 replies
The leader of a trade group that represents most major automakers called on the federal government to eliminate its gasoline tax and replace it with a vehicle fee to finance road infrastructure needs.
Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozzella, whose group represents automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other leading car manufacturers, put forward a proposal that urged the federal government to address the growing shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund with a vehicle fee.
The proposal would function like a vehicle registration fee that’s assessed on all vehicles based on their weight, and was first reported by Reuters. It comes as the federal government’s
When you think about Delaware, you’re probably not thinking about shady financial firms or Joe Biden, but I repeat myself, still you may want to think about something else because the state has named January ‘Muslim Heritage Month’. Indeed, nothing says Muslim heritage like Delaware.
What brought on this particular bout of Islamization?
The resolution came from Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton. We covered her in our first edition of Election Jihad for making a scene by screeching about ‘genocide’ at Kamala Harris.
Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, has all sorts of thoughts about Islamic terrorism.
Free Speech For People said in a press release Monday that a new national poll found “a majority of likely 2026 voters nationwide support impeaching President Donald Trump,” which the group called “an extraordinary and unprecedented level of support so early in a presidential term.”
The poll, conducted by Lake Research Partners from March 26-30 among 800 likely 2026 general election voters, found that 52 percent support impeaching Trump, while 40 percent oppose it. 46 percent said they strongly support impeachment, compared with 37 percent who strongly oppose it, while 8 percent said they were unsure or had no opinion.

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, the panel on the Audie Cornish-hosted program started with more accusations of U.S. war crimes from panelist Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic and Kim Dozier, a CNN Global Affairs Analyst. Fitzpatrick said the US will be “turning off incubators for babies,” while Dozier claimed the US is about to violate the Geneva Conventions like Russia had in Ukraine.
Furthermore, at the end of the hour-long morning show, a discussion ensued between Cornish and Fitzpatrick, which worried almost only about the “cost” of the rescue mission of a U.S. Military pilot.
The U.S. government is using AI to locate and arrest migrants who are accused of being in the United States illegally. According to several reports, the Department of Homeland Security is hiring a litany of private contractors and giving them the names of thousands of migrants. The contractors are then using artificial intelligence to find the migrants. The process of using AI, public records, databases, online information and surveillance is called “skip tracing.” It’s been used by debt collectors, bail bondsmen and private investigators for years. But reports say DHS is paying private companies billions of dollars to use this process to find migrants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
President Trump vowed Monday to catch the “leaker” who revealed that US forces were not immediately able to rescue the second F-15 pilot shot down over Iran — as he told again of the wounded airman’s dramatic weekend rescue.
“We’re looking very hard to find that leaker,” Trump said in the White House briefing room. “They basically said that we have one and there’s somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn’t know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.”
Trump explained that the leak could have endangered the missing pilot’s life.
“We think we’ll be able to find it out, because we’re going to go to the media company that released it,
The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing hardball with their most loyal fans, and this time, the boys in blue are looking more like corporate bullies.
Errol Segal, the 81-year-old diehard fan who has held season tickets for a staggering 50 years, found himself in the ultimate pickle when the team essentially told him his money was good, but his flip phone wasn’t.
Despite half a century of loyalty — long before the era of QR codes — the Dodgers flat-out refused to provide Segal with paper tickets for the 2026 season, effectively shutting him out of games.
Operation Epic Fury has been a great success so far. Of course, one reason that this operation, which our Israeli allies are calling Operation Roaring Lion, has been such a success so far is that no other nations are coming to Iran's aid. That shouldn't be surprising, as Iran has been an outlaw nation for almost half a century, ruled by a cabal of vicious, 7th-century barbarians that any civilized nation should rightly abhor.
Here's the thing: Iran also has some of the world's largest recoverable petroleum and natural gas reserves, one of the primary beneficiaries of which is China.
Now, China expert and Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang,

Spanish lawmaker Alberto Ibáñez called for the imposition of strict controls on the nation’s inbound tourism industry to force it to reduce in scope during a Sunday interview with the Madrid-based Europapress.
Ibáñez is a member of Compromís, a leftist Valencian regionalism coalition. The lawmaker stressed to Europapress that limiting Spain’s tourism industry is necessary, as he believes it has already made it “impossible to live” in cities like Alicante or Valencia.
Europapress reports that Ibáñez recently submitted a request to the Spanish Congress to establish a parliamentary subcommittee to analyze the impact of tourism on people’s quality of life.
