Will the Next Pope Be Another ‘Pope
of Islam’?

Will the next pope continue the last pope’s consistent record of appeasing Islam? The late Pope Francis had a long record of whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and making moral equivalence arguments in order to downplay jihad terror. Back in 2017, Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, noticed the pope’s yeoman service for the Islamic cause and thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” Francis was not just a defender of Islam but also a defender of the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy. After Islamic jihadists in Jan. 2015 murdered the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who had drawn Muhammad, Francis obliquely justified the murders

Jesus clearly and repeatedly said, 'Peace'. Islam, by it's own scriptures, is openly at war with every other faith and culture. Believing and claiming otherwise is neither Christian not intelligent. I truly do not understand where Francis came from because he sure seemed to often put Jesus in the back seat relative to other problems.

Since I do not have a "dog in that fight," I'll just be over on the sidelines, taking notes and checking boxes. I can always watch it on TV with the sound turned off, the better to see black or white smoke, when it's all over but the shouting.

Another Pope like Francis will further the decline of the Church. Bad enough, the sexual molestation scandal that cost the Church millions and outraged the public plus the faithful, and now they are going woke. Surely the Catholic hierarchy know that the Islamists would kill them all given the chance, so it must be ideology driving their suicidal stupidity.

Remember Pope Francis has been called out as being politically somewhere between being a socialist and a communist by some pretty leading politicians including the President of his native country, Argentina. There is little doubt that Pope Francis had no problem involving himself in the secular politics of countries all over the world, thus acting as a secular politician himself. When a Pope does that, in accordance with Catholic dogma such a Pope is not considered to be infallible as he is while addressing direct matters of the Catholic religion. In that respect there is little doubt that Pope Francis counseled Biden who portrayed himself as be one of the most devout Catholics in politics, to regardless of the US immigration laws to “open” the US borders to unlimited numbers of Third World origin so-called irregular migrants (illegal aliens) so that they could supposedly make better lives for themselves and their extended families; and we can see that Biden immediately complied, with Biden’s leftist and progressive crew, and with leftist and progressive Democrat activists across the board, many of them involved with Democrat aligned non-governmental organizations (NGOS) who suck up huge amounts of US taxpayers money to use in doing everything possible to encourage and invite more mass uncontrolled illegal immigration in unlimited numbers, pleased as punch for Biden handing them the future chance to transform the ongoing massive illegal alien population into future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters in unlimited numbers to keep the Democrats in permanent political power on into the future. Remember Pope Francis had been the Pope for about twelve years, and throughout those many years had the opportunity to reshape the College of Cardinals by appointing many new Cardinals who are also very liberal politically when it comes to secular politics, and it will be the College of Cardinals who will decide who will become the next Pope.

The "next" Pope will probably be approaching 80. Gray or Silver haired. "Kick The Bucket" probably in 5 years. Concentrate of global climate change versus getting the pervs out the door. Purple of green hair is a plus. A Socialist, like the previous Pope, will earn double points. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Announcement will be made by smoke signals. See you Sunday at attention.

The fact is we DO have a lot in common with Islam: they love the Blessed Mother, they oppose baby killing, and they try try to help the poor. B all means we should seek common ground. No lie we have differences also: they are the intellectual heirs of the priest Lucius whose views the Church condemned approx 325 AD, and along those lines they do not value the Crucifixion of Christ as the willingly paid price of our salvation nor that Jesus Himself, suffering and patience and all, is the only begotten Son of God, whom death could not hold, from which, death, whre is thy victory? But that said, it takes until the year 325 AD for their ideas to have been condemned totally and forever, and that means we do have a lot in common, we do. Do.

A remarkable situation is fast developing in which the West is becoming more Islamist — the term for Islamic holy war extremism — than the Arab Muslim world itself. This week, Jordan banned the extremist Muslim Brotherhood. All Brotherhood offices there have been closed, and its assets will be confiscated, shortly after 16 of its members were arrested in an alleged armed plot against the kingdom. The authorities found weapons and explosives being stored in residential areas and transported across Jordan; secret missile-manufacturing facilities that could have produced up to 250 short-range missiles; and “training and recruitment operations” linked to the group.

As millions of Americans anxiously await action from the new HHS leadership against the deadly COVID-19 mRNA injections—injected into over 9 million children this year—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally gone publicly on the offensive: (Snip) The recommendation for children was always dubious. It was dubious because kids had almost no risk for COVID-19. In the largest review to date on myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. COVID-19 vaccination, Mead et al found that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only significantly more common but also more severe—particularly in children and young males. Our findings make clear that the risks of the shots overwhelmingly outweigh any theoretical benefit:

I imagine you have not spent any time with the hereditary elites of Europe, and you are lucky in that. They breed sociopaths there, and brutalize their children until they think of us, you and me, as talking cows or pigs. We exist for their harvest, we are their unwitting serfs and since the beginning of the American experiment, they have wanted the States back under their control, its wealth cascading into their maw. It is they who invented the climate and extinction scam out of the Club of Rome, which ramped up the intellectual nonsense of Malthus in order to choke your life and mine.
There’s Real Evidence for Easter 24 replies

If you think politicians make outlandish claims, consider what Christians celebrate at Easter. They believe a man named Jesus was brutally tortured, murdered, and buried for three days before rising from the dead. Furthermore, they assert this man was also fully God and that your belief or lack of belief in him determines your eternal destiny. Christians have no video evidence or DNA tests to prove this. That’s understandable since Christians say the event Easter celebrates took place almost 2,000 years ago. Americans can’t even agree on things that happened two weeks ago. Isn’t Easter an ancient example of “fake news,” a myth propagated by people putting faith over historical realities?

For them, a woman is whatever mentally ill men say it is, (Snip) Now we’ve discovered, according to the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), many Americans are stark raving mad. Their study reveals what they call “assassination culture,” an acceptance of premeditated murder for political purposes. The NCRI study links this cultural shift to the December 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione. In the aftermath, researchers observed a disturbing surge of viral memes glorifying Mangione, which effectively turned him into a folk hero among certain corners of the internet.

What if I told you that when federal district judges issue injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s policies in a judicial insurrection, they were the ones breaking the law? No, it’s not just because these judges are effectively usurping the authority of the president over the executive branch. It’s more clear-cut than that. When Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., issued an order demanding the Trump administration return reputed members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to the U.S., he wasn’t just making immigration policy—he was violating a black-and-white rule laid down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

One of the things that frightens parents—and leads them to avoid vaccines that have protected against potentially deadly or life-changing diseases such as measles or polio—is the alleged connection between autism and some of the vaccinations. Parents know that autism diagnoses have skyrocketed over the past few years, and, given how today’s little children are vaccine pincushions, they’re rightly worried. However, I’d like to suggest some alternative reasons for the increased number of diagnoses. My ideas are not based on studies or a medical degree (I don’t have one) but on a little bit of common sense.

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day. The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.

Anyone with common sense can tell when there’s a setup for a big problem, and the Supreme Court keeps setting things up. (Snip) And then there was my perplexity in 2005 when I found myself wondering why G.W. Bush had appointed Roberts, the “new guy,” directly into being Chief Justice of our Supreme Court rather than elevating a more experienced judge to that position. At the time, he seemed like a lightweight compared to Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. I thought he should be learning from them rather than being the chief. We have a Chief Justice who belongs to the same secretive “club” as patently evil Judge Boasberg, chief judge

Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth consecutive election, giving a mandate to former central banker Mark Carney after a campaign in which he pledged to boost economic growth and stand up to US President Donald Trump in a trade war. Liberal candidates were leading or elected in 135 of the 343 seats, ahead of the Conservative Party with 88 as of 10:14 p.m. Ottawa time.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors." Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to

If Trump wants a deal that’s better for the US than the one he jettisoned in 2018, the Iranians want the same for Iran.
