On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

John Prevost knew there was a chance his brother could be elected pope. But Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was preparing for the conclave, shrugged it off when his older brother called from Illinois. "He said, ‘No way, not going to happen,’" his brother recalled. Of course, it did happen.

I’m not Catholic. But I hope Pope Leo XIV cleans trmp’s clock, shames and humiliates him every day, and convinces America’s Catholics to stop the sin of supporting him.

The great Joe Nye, the originator of the idea of soft power, died this week. The ascension of an American pope is a powerful example of American soft power—and in this case it is the idea that Americans can be compassionate, concerned about the poor and immigrants, as contrasted with that other guy.
