The funky stench of Barry Soetoro is unmistakable. Now he, most likely still a Muslim, sends his operative Axelrod to lecture the commie pope, who's only too happy to obey, being a commie himself. No doubt about it: Obama is trying to insert a wedge into the largest Christian denomination of all. Maybe it's time to Swall-him-very-well. After he falls in disgrace, have that monstrosity in Chicago demolished. Then replant the trees. Eliminate all traces.

My advice to Mr. Trump: Ignore the guy in the dress and concentrate on running the country. How many carriers does the Pope have?

The Poop....er, Pope, is not "the Church". He's a very flawed, and in this case an obnoxious, political hack of a man with extreme leftist views. Trump isn't against the Church....the Poop is against the Church.

Pope Leo needs to stick to saving souls and keep his mouth shut about politics. If he can't do that, he needs to resign.

As a lifetime Baptist, I don't know that I have ever had a pastor whose politics I could figure out. If it was a black Baptist church, it would probably be easy to figure out because they have held funerals that were like a political rally and many politicians have been allowed to speak at other times. I am sure my pastor is against abortion and I am sure he has views about what is going on in politics today but he is careful not to say anything political at all. The Pope would do well to take that same path. He hasn't gotten off to a very good start as a spiritual leader in my opinion. I wish Trump would just ignore him though because when Trump responds, that leads the Pope to think his opinion about politics in this country means anything, which it doesn't.

We now know that the "white smoke" emitted has a pronounced leftward tilt since before the last Pope got elected in the Holy Echo Chamber. No doubt the Vatican's "Holy Accountant" is surely missing the millions and millions of U.S. Dollars poured into the Vatican's global network of NGOs, courtesy of USAID, and, of course courtesy of the U.S. Taxpayer. The gall and hypocrisy of a man sitting behind his 39 foot high wall of brick and stone, that can practically be seen from space, lecturing the U.S. President, make that, HIS President, on immigration, while the religion he represents rakes in taxpayer money on each illegal processed by his "church." How many "migrants" has this Pope, or the previous Marxist, allowed to live in the Vatican with him? None you say? Of course not, because "Liberal = Hypocrite."

Impeaching Pete 7 replies
Posted by Hazymac 4/16/2026 7:43:14 PM Post Reply
In a little over a year in office, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has achieved a series of military triumphs that have not, perhaps, been equaled since World War II: the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and the air campaign against Iran’s regime. These missions have been flawlessly executed by Hegseth’s department, so naturally the Democrats want to impeach him. The first articles of impeachment were filed in January by Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar, but got little attention. A new, expanded set of articles was filed today. You can read the document here. Axios describes the articles here. The impeachment resolution is being introduced by

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is widely known as a liberal jurist who can reliably be expected to vote with her leftist colleagues, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, on virtually every issue, as the three mostly march in lockstep. Ketanji Brown Jackson, in particular, seems to decide cases based on her own personal opinion, not relying too much on that pesky old Constitution. But now Sotomayor can add a new adjective to her profile: “obnoxious.” The Obama-appointed jurist took the unusual step of making a personal attack on a fellow justice, Brett Kavanaugh, at an appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law on April 7.

There’s a MeToo reckoning happening on the Hill, and it’s going to shake up both parties, honestly. For now, Democrats are left taking it on the chin as former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) steps back from public life in disgrace. The California liberal, who was leading in California’s gubernatorial race, saw his career destroyed in less than 72 hours after multiple sexual misconduct and rape allegations derailed his campaign. He withdrew from the governor’s race and later resigned. His resignation came hours after another accuser claimed the former congressman had violently raped her in 2018.

We're not sure why CNN tapped David Hogg to appear on a program to discuss Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, but they did. Unfortunately for Hogg, Scott Jennings was also on the panel, and Jennings was ready to teach the Harvard graduate a thing or two about debate and foreign policy. (X) "Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you that the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down," Hogg said. "That is exactly what happened." "And who controls it right now?" Jennings asked. Instead of answering the question, Hogg deflected. "Why are gas prices so high then?" "Why were they high during Biden's administration?

If you want to get a feel for where the Democrats are without having to pay the New York Times, there's probably no better source than the Huffington Post — and HuffPo just slipped former Vice President Kamala Harris the shiv. It didn't mess around, either. HuffPo's Kevin Robillard wrote the report, but whoever wrote the headline put the hit job well above the byline and in great big letters: Kamala Harris 2028? Democratic Operatives And Donors Hope Not. Harris is like this drunk buddy of mine from way back when, and not because of the drunk part. Well, not entirely because of the drunk part.
Colombia to Euthanize Wild 'Cocaine Hippos' 15 replies

Hippos typically live exclusively in the wetlands, lakes, and rivers of sub-Saharan Africa... unless an infamous drug lord imported them to South America in the early 1980s, was fatally shot about a decade later, and the ones he kept as pets escaped, adapted to the region, and created their own colony. You may or may not recall that at the time Pablo Escobar was killed in 1993, he owned hundreds of exotic animals, including four hippopotamuses that he reportedly imported from a wildlife center in Texas, which were kept at his Hacienda Nápoles estate. After his death, the Colombian government deemed them impossible to seize, so they were just left there,

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Another day, another low-life, prevaricating California Democrat. Sadly, there will never be a shortage of them. There were already a lot of them when I first moved to Los Angeles in the '90s, but they started growing like weeds during the 21st century.

One of the extraordinary features of the first year of President Trump’s second term has been the attempted judicial coup by Democratic Party district court judges who have, in effect, tried to take over the operation of the Executive Branch. Rogue district judges have issued one ill-founded order after another, most of which have been reversed on appeal. Perhaps the worst offender has been James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court. Judge Boasberg has been trying to hold members of the Trump administration in criminal contempt for, allegedly, disobeying one of his illegal orders. The government made a mandamus motion in the D.C. Circuit

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Another woman has come forward to accuse Congressman Eric Swalwell of sexual assault, giving a powerful and emotional account Tuesday morning. At a press conference in Beverly Hills, Lonna Drewes told a harrowing story of allegedly being drugged, raped and choked by the soon-to-be former congressman in 2018. Swalwell, who pulled out of the governor's race and will resign his seat, is facing a mounting list of accusers and mounting legal trouble as well. These details may be disturbing to read. Drewes says she was a model and owned a fashion software company when she met Congressman Eric Swalwell in 2018. She says they went out as friends several times

One of the fundamental tenets of Christianity is that Jesus is the Son of God and that he is the Messiah (or Christ) — God’s chosen deliverer for His people. Jesus’ role as the Messiah fulfilled God’s promises of redemption. “In the Bible, the Messiah is the anointed king through whom God establishes his rule over the world,” explains the Lexham Theological Wordbook. (Snip) There’s apparently still some confusion about Jesus’ Messianic role — that is, if you get your theology from The View. Joy Behar, that brilliant theological mind, said something that was as ignorant as it was blasphemous.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is handing out $500 vouchers to migrants so they can enjoy haircuts, massages and other self-care benefits, despite the city's budget plunging nearly $50 million short. Applicants who are 'low-income, isolated queer and trans migrants, asylum seekers and refugees' are prioritized for the 'wellness allowance.' The initiative, called 'Boston Matters', was created by OUTnewcomers, a nonprofit that advocates for LGBTQ+ migrants in Boston alongside the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement, Mass Daily News reported. Applicants get $250 to $500 toward 'non-clinical care' completely funded by the city agency, which is run by the Democrat's administration.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has, since her election as a “moderate” Democrat last fall, quickly proved that she’s neither a moderate nor even remotely intelligent. If she were, she’d never have agreed to sign Virginia onto the left’s unconstitutional scheme to bypass the Electoral College. With Spanberger’s signature this week, Virginia became the 18th state to join the “National Popular Vote Compact.” States that do so agree that, regardless of how their state votes for president, their Electoral College votes will go to the winner of the national popular vote.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh is accustomed to unrelenting personal attacks from the left that began with his nomination to the Court.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor used an appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law to level a personal dig at Kavanaugh as an out-of-touch elitist. I have long criticized the growing number of public statements by justices on controversial subjects and cases, including Justice Sotomayor.

It’s no secret that John Cornyn is in grave danger of having the good people of Texas dislodge him from the senatorial sinecure he’s occupied without distinction for four endless terms. He seeks a fifth term for no apparent reason other than he loves having lackeys address him as “Your Senatorness.” And that’s all he does – his opponent, Kenny Paxton, lays waste while John Cornyn lays around. He is, as one might say in the otherwise awesome Lone Star State, as useless as mammaries on a bull. Today, Cornyn is a non-player timeserver; it’s tomorrow that we need to worry about.

When West Lake, Ohio police got a call for a welfare check on a 91-year-old grandmother, they feared the worst. Both the family and the authorities tried to call the woman but were unable to reach her. The woman was part of the city's 'Are You Okay?' program, where participants agree to get a daily welfare check call, and she wasn't answering those, either. Police showed up at her house to find her garage partially open and her car in the garage. When they entered the home, however, they found a plot twist they did not expect.
