The beloved pontiff, who died on Monday at 88 following a lengthy battle of double pneumonia, made changes to his funeral rites last year that underscore his humility while ditching the traditional pomp and circumstance. (Photo) Typically, papal funerals are held four to six days after the death in St. Peter’s Square, however, Francis had said that, unlike his predecessors, he would not be laid to rest in the crypt of St. Peter’s Basilica. Instead,

He’s gaming the system. We hear that Donald and Melania Trump’s son Barron, 19, has a new mode for talking with college pals at NYU. It was previously reported that the Trump scion, who is constantly followed by Secret Service agents on campus, had been asking peers to talk online via Discord, the chat app for gamers. We hear that he’s now talking with friends on another gaming platform, Xbox. “He has added it to his repertoire,” says the source. “It’s his communication platform of choice.”

One of America’s biggest villains received an epic beating on Fox News today when she tried to defend the indefensible and insulted her interviewer. Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, is the chief proponent of trapping everyone in failing public schools and refusing to hold crooked school authority figures accountable. She was also arguably the loudest advocate for shutting down schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused irreparable harm to the cognitive development of many children across the country.

In another major shakeup within the Trump administration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, aiming to cut over 700 positions and eliminate 132 of its 734 bureaus—a 15 percent reduction in personnel. This overhaul seeks to refocus the department on core national interests and regional diplomacy, moving away from promoting liberal ideologies. Rubio criticized certain offices for advancing left-wing agendas at taxpayer expense. The restructuring also hints at reducing or closing overseas missions and folding liberal values initiatives into regional bureaus.

I reported yesterday on the NPR story claiming the White House had begun the process of looking for a new Secretary of Defense.

However, both White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and President Donald Trump himself shot it down. Even the Rapid Response X account shot it down. I wrote about Trump's remarks at the Easter Egg Roll, where he ripped it to shreds, saying Hegseth was doing a great job and even bringing recruitment up.

President Donald Trump has extended his endorsement to U.S. Representative Andy Biggs in the upcoming Arizona gubernatorial race.

Robson formerly ran in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary, endorsed by turncoat RINO Mike Pence and

Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.

Monday, on the heels of the news of Pope Francis’ passing, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough launched a scathing attack on the so-called “hard-right” inside the Catholic Church. Scarbourgh claimed the hard-right inside the church “hated” the recently deceased Pope for being “Christ-like.” “I was just going say many on the hard right inside the church were shocked that this Pope would actually borrow from Jesus Christ and living that simple life, borrow from Jesus Christ, and they were radical words when he said it and it was like it was sounded the shot of a cannon.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's personal bag was stolen with $3,000 cash inside during a dinner outing at a Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday. Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, makeup, checks, medication, and apartment keys, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post. Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a surgical mask snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant. The theft was first reported by CNN. The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments. It is not clear whether a suspect has been identified or the extent of Noem’s protective detail during Sunday’s outing.

Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.
