Trump to join public Bible reading as Pope Leo clash simmers.

They should have Trump read from Exodus 20:1-17, specifically the part referencing the Ten Commandments:

  1. “You shall not commit adultery.”

There’s a word for those Americans who want the government controlling the Church.

Another U.S. Aircraft Carrier Catches Fire

This time it was the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

It sustained a small fire on Tuesday while it was sidelined for maintenance.

The carrier is currently at Naval Support Activity Portsmouth, Virginia, after arriving at Norfolk Naval Shipyard on Jan. 8 to begin planned incremental availability following a nine-month deployment.

“Eight sailors were treated by ship’s medical and returned to full duty,” a Navy spokesperson told Military Times in an emailed statement.

The small fire that occurred was immediately contained, the spokesperson said, and extinguished by ship and shipyard personnel.

The Navy did not specify the cause of the fire.

Trump Wants the Government Running the Catholic Church in the U.S.. You Know, Like the Communists Do in China.

He’ll probably “fix” the flag while he’s at it, too.

Vice President JD Vance tells Pope Leo to ‘be careful.’

Or what? The U.S. will invade the Vatican?

Trump’s Conundrum.

If and when Vice President JD Vance runs for president, he WILL be asked if he will pardon Trump, probably asked to PLEDGE he won’t.

If he does say yes or make that pledge to do so, it will cost him a LOT of votes in 2028. If he doesn’t it will cost him a LOT of votes from the Trump MAGA sheep who will stay home on election day. A lose-lose situation for Vance.

Sure, if Vance runs and wins, Trump gets a pardon

But if Vance runs and LOSES, the only way Trump gets a pardon (other than the dubious way of pardoning himself) is for him to resign the presidency and let Vance pardon him before a Democrat take office on January 20, 2029.

Trump wildly rants about Pope Leo amid Iran war feud and teases he’ll fly to Pakistan HIMSELF to get a deal done.

President Donald Trump made news Thursday, saying he is prepared to visit Pakistan to personally finalize a peace agreement, while simultaneously escalating a verbal dispute with the Vatican over foreign policy.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, the President expressed optimism regarding ongoing negotiations in the region, suggesting he would travel to Islamabad if a final accord is reached.

‘I would go,’ Trump said. ‘Pakistan has been great. They’ve been so good. Islamabad … I might go, yeah. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.’

Imagine Germany Giving Property Tax Breaks to Non-Profit Groups Honoring the Nazi Party.

Well, a similar practice goes on in the United States. But at least in Virginia that is coming to and end.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) on Monday signed into law a bill eliminating tax exemptions for multiple organizations connected to the Confederacy.

Democrats in the Virginia House and Senate passed HB167 with vote totals of 62-35 and 21-17, respectively, earlier this year. The bill specifically removes the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and the Confederate Memorial Literary Society, among other similar groups, from the list of organizations exempt from state property taxes.
