Pope Francis has criticized US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport immigrants as a “disgrace.”
The pontiff, speaking during an Italian television interview, was asked about the incoming Trump administration’s plans to expel undocumented immigrants through an aggressive slate of immigration executive orders by the incoming president, who will be inaugurated Monday.
“If it is true, it will be a disgrace, because it makes the poor wretches who have nothing to pay the unpaid bill. It won’t do. This is not the way to solve things,” Francis said during the Sunday interview.
The Pope has made advocacy for migrants a key part of his papacy,

On Friday afternoon, CNN's senior national security analyst, Juliette Kayyem, preemptively tried to undermine President-elect Donald Trump from being able to take credit for lower border numbers after he takes office as the ex-Barack Obama administration member and former Democrat politician suggested that President Joe Biden had already fixed the problem, and that Trump would only be taking credit for low numbers that already exist.
As Kayyem and CNN News Central host Brianna Keilar discussed the Senate confirmation hearings for Homeland Security Secretary-designate Kristi Noem, Kayyem asserted that "the immigration agenda has nothing to do with enforcement anymore. The numbers are down -- the Southern border numbers are down."

The French king Louis XV is credited with saying “après moi le deluge,” meaning he didn’t care what happens after he was gone. Biden has not said the same, but his actions make clear that he’s perfectly happy to see the country weak and bankrupt and the Constitution torched when he leaves office and Donald Trump takes over for a remarkable second term. The press, which has covered for Biden most of his term, is now trying to hide their obvious airbrushing of the worst president in modern history and stay afloat. While much of the civil service seems ready to sabotage Trump once again, the very thought

Heartbroken TikTokers are going cuckoo.
Users of the now defunct social app nationwide are mourning its loss early Sunday, after the popular video-sharing platform went dark for its 170 million American users in the face of a legal US ban.
“ITS GONE TIKTOK IS GONE,” one user posted to X with a gif of someone nervously smoking.
A podcaster with more than 1.8 followers named iJustine helped lead the hysteria on X: “It’s been 15 minutes and I’m already going through TikTok withdrawals. THIS IS A CRIME.” (X Video) Mikayla Nogueira, a makeup influencer with 16 million TikTok followers, said she keeps clicking to open the app out of habit

Joe Biden recently admitted that he might not have been able to complete a second term, telling USA Today, “Who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86 years old?”
It was a stunning admission indeed.
For years, conservatives were calling out blatant issues with Joe Biden's cognitive health and physical frailty. On Monday, our long national nightmare will end, and we will once again have someone physically and cognitively capable of running the country back in the White House. But that doesn’t mean we should forget the scandalous efforts by those around Biden to cover up his decline.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, is anticipated to step down from his role in the task force.
In November, President Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the Department of Government Efficiency.
“I am pleased to announced that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”).

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that House Republicans were attempting to condition disaster relief to Californians for “massive tax breaks for billionaires.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “Let me get your take on disaster aid, Leader Jeffries. You just heard Speaker Johnson say very clearly that yes, there may be strings attached, that yes, it’s possible that they will move to try to link it to an increase in the debt limit. Would you vote yes if that were to come before you? If that were the only way you believe to get disaster relief to Californians?”

We and many others had fun yesterday at Joe Biden’s expense. He tweeted an announcement: the Equal Rights Amendment has been adopted! It’s the law of the land! No one took it seriously; if a president really tried to change the Constitution via executive order, he would be impeached and driven from office.
Personally, I doubt Biden has any idea that he tweeted the supposed adoption of the ERA. I assume that was done by some nameless intern in the White House. Democrats see no problem with the fact that we have a president who has no idea what is going on. Happily, we have only two more days to go.

With President Joe Biden soon to be out of politics for good, the tales of just how far gone he has been over the last four years are getting more and more disturbing. In mid-December, RedState shared a post-election report detailing his memory and sundowning issue. Of course, it's been known for years that Biden was facing serious cognitive decline. That it only became acceptable for major press outlets to discuss it in the last couple of months is an indictment of their credibility. It's not just news outlets that are sharing scary stories about Biden, though. House Speaker Mike Johnson recently sat down for an interview and described
