• The Pope

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to Aaron Thomas on Sat Apr 25 17:40:44 2026
    Funny...

    This is the second time a headline like this showed up on my feed...

    :Start
    Pope Backfire: Trump's Support Among Catholics Went Up After Trump Fired Back at Pope Leo
    :Stop

    The other headline talked about Trump's support going up, ~5%, with Catholics because Trump pointed out Pope Leo's hypocrisy. I wanted to wait to see some confirmation, and it's in I guess.

    BTW, I was watching a video this morning where a preacher was talking politics to his congregation and I was wondering why I didn't get so worked up.

    He did talk about how the Old Testament was/is riddled with politics and religion, and how they mixed. But he did mention how the New Testament wasn't.

    He said that he had a dream whereby he walked into a room and Trump was there... Trump told him that he was sent to clean up Barry's and Joe's mess. he then said that his son had a similar situation where he had a dream and in this dream Trump asked him to get people to pray for him.

    Makes some sense, there is some differences... Going to church tomorrow to pray, for Trump and I did say F**k way to may times this week.

    Talk soon.

    These headlines are believable.

    God comes first, and Pope Leo just isn't taking 2nd place, no matter what. A group of Cardinals are just basically a flock of birds.

    The other headline talked about Trump's support going up, ~5%, with Catholics because Trump pointed out Pope Leo's hypocrisy. I wanted to wait to see some confirmation, and it's in I guess.

    The media has taught us how fake and full of it they are, and they've presented their BS in all media forms, including books, and this is bad for the bible, but it's good for America.

    He did talk about how the Old Testament was/is riddled with politics and religion, and how they mixed. But he did mention how the New Testament wasn't.

    I wonder what he meant by that though because isn't the persecution of Jesus a major example of politics in the new testament?

    He said that he had a dream whereby he walked into a room and Trump was there... Trump told him that he was sent to clean up Barry's and Joe's mess. he then said that his son had a similar situation where he had a dream and in this dream Trump asked him to get people to pray for him.

    That's cool. Is he asking people to pray for Trump? I pray for him every night, for his health, happiness, and success. I'd love to attend group prayers for him but I don't know exactly where to find that crowd. I should ask the people at my church.

    In my head, I separate the Church (an organization) from the Religion (a set of beliefs).

    The Church is NOT the Religion, but seeks (at first) to promote it. But like any organization, it can be infiltrated by the power-seeking and subverted.

    IHMO: The Catholic Church has long been corrupted. I think there were several times when there was a purge and the Church got back to its mission, but it keeps getting corrupted because power attracts those who lust for it.

    The Church is hard to criticize, though. There are many people in it who are working to promote the Religion part. But the higher levels are all corrupt.

    Martin Luther said it was faith alone and not the priesthood of all believer that gets you into heaven.

    Keep the faith.

    I am not @RonL skeptical yet, close, but MY GOD why can't the media just report the facts.

    I don't want to get too far out on a limb here.

    Abbreviated response...

    New testament is the counter revolution... declaring Jesus as Lord and King...

    Paul did say... Paul instructs Christians to respect government authority as a necessary instrument for maintaining order, while still prioritizing God's kingdom (Romans 13)

    The reason, not the only one, Christians read the Old Testament (The Jewish "Bible") is to give context to the New Testament.

    Anyway...

    Yes sir... Pray for Trump was the takeaway!!!

    Churches definitely attract weird people. I've noticed similarities in their behaviors: some are in it for the money, some are in it because they think it makes them closer to God than others, some are in it because they think they're interpreting the bible better than others, and some are in it to molest kids.

    Of course many church goers have good intentions, but no matter how good we are, we're not really addressing the ridiculousness things that the church is doing the other 6 days of the week.

    Exactly.

    Good intentions are not relevant. Only good outcomes.

    I have been fortunate in my life to be surrounded by believers. My mother has read several different versions of the Bible, there is more than the King James version... She came from that experience and said nowhere in any bible did it say to stop practicing what the Jews practice... She is now a Massianic Jew, these are Jews that believe in Christ. In fact, my mother and stepfather are both Rabbis.

    My 2 oldest daughters are Baptist, my eldest is the mother to my 3 grandchildren and they are all devout in their beliefs.

    My current wife, as appose to my ex, is catholic and here I am today.

    My road is a long road and I am where I am today because of the people God placed around me.

    I have started to see god's hand in my life more and more as time passes. Moreover, and more importantly I am starting to be aware of his work in our society.

    After the past few years I am under the belief that Trump is doing God's work.

    Democrats don't respond in your hateful ways...

    When Trump was running for office back in 2015 I was not in his camp. I wanted ANYONE other than him, I didn't want Hillary to win... I have said this to you in the past... Trump won the primary and I said... Go Red Team!!!

    Trump had a great 1st term even with all the opposition Barry et al gave him. I think it was God's plan to have the Democrats steals the 2020 election just to show the world how corrupt the Democrats are, and the body politics.

    If we didn't have Barry's 3rd term we wouldn't know what we know today.

    Trump kills it in the 2024 election. They have tried to assassinate him 3 times, that we know of, and he has a little less than three years left.

    In the 1st year he's looking to free the Iranian people, among other things, He's working on Cuba and as well as Venezuela.

    Aaron there is a lot more I can add here but U get the idea... China is getting smacked down, thanx to China and the Deep State we got COVID.


    https://youtu.be/SvOQEn_bJcI?si=VL1YZv21bN_JL_Pm

    There you go... a short video with the founder of Home Depot who's been red pilled and now says that Trump may go down as the best president ever.

    Do you know what??? I think this last assassination attempt at the WHCD was an eye opener for some of the media, I did not say ALL. I think there's a certain kind of awakening that would happen during a situation like that.

    The press conference Trump had after that event was a bit of a love fest with Trump and the press. This may be a uniter with non-Kool Aide drinkers

    The Media, in general, is approaching their "come to Jesus" moment. They are leaking money like crazy because only the Left "watches" them. The majority of the country won't tune in because we don't trust them.

    Traditional media is also dying. I haven't listened to new radio in decades, nor have I read newspapers. We haven't had the TV on in years now.

    But they are caught between a rock and hard place. They aren't getting money from viewers, so where are they getting money from? My guess is Soros-like groups, with strings attached. If they actually start reporting facts to get more viewers, that money stops and they go broke.

    I like what I take from the old testament, for example, the 10 commandments. Those are smart rules to live by, even for people who don't believe in God. Humans can't go wrong when they at least try to abide by those rules.

    My road is a long road and I am where I am today because of the people
    God placed around me.

    My story is similar. My wife inspires me in a lot of ways, and my dad, my sister, and my kids. I'm not the man I used to be, and they turned me into
    who I am today.

    After the past few years I am under the belief that Trump is doing God's work.

    It would be difficult for a believer to disagree with that statement. Everything Trump does feels right, and that's how good people make other good people feel.

    When Trump was running for office back in 2015 I was not in his camp. I wanted ANYONE other than him, I didn't want Hillary to win... I have
    said this to you in the past... Trump won the primary and I said... Go
    Red Team!!!

    Same here. I liked Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio, and I still like those guys, but Trump is like a father to all of us, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Trump had a great 1st term even with all the opposition Barry et al gave him. I think it was God's plan to have the Democrats steals the 2020 election just to show the world how corrupt the Democrats are, and the body politics.

    I guess we needed that eye opener, and it seems like we opened enough eyes since Trump won every battleground state. That is encouraging.

    That was creepy.

    And I wonder what's up with Weija Jang standing next to Trump at the start of the dinner. (Remember the "Chi-nah" incident?)

    She's creepy too (hot, but creepy.) It seems like these media people knew that they were not the target so they had nothing to worry about. Not a care in the world.

    It's funny how you say MAGA are hypocrites and never really support your claims... well this time you tried to support your claims by a randomly generated tag line.

    Republicans and MAGA, in general, support the "D" in DEI. We see "D"iversity in thought whereas Democrats and people on the left have to check their Social Media accounts to see that the major talking points are for the day.

    For example, so far, from what we can see you are... Orange Man Bad, and all the hateful things said to divide the country... AND... Abortion Good.

    Here is diversity of thought at work...

    @Aaron might say... I'm pro-life. I think abortion is bad. and I think the the Supreme Court's decision on Roe V Wade pushing it back to the States is a Good thing...

    @RonL might say... Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger who wanted to use Abortion as a method to "cull" the Negro population. The government uses abortion to maintain control of minority groups and should be avoided.

    @IBJOE has said... I'm glad Roe was sent back to the States, let the States decide, I am pro-life and I think life starts at conception. Though I believe that life starts at conception and I think States should decide I feel there should be some regulations, for the most part. If an abortion is performed lets do it early enough, when the child resembles a clump of cells, then the more liberal stance... Up to and including the day of delivery.

    I am a "Not my circus, Not my monkeys" kind of guy... Don't ask me to participate and don't ask me for money.

    This is not hypocrisy this is Diversity of though.

    Most republicans like to debate and discus things. You can't keep hiding behind Trump Bad, MAGA bad, without supporting your claims...

    We know you're OK with abortion... Is there a list of other ideas that convince others that the Left/Democrats have great ideas???

    Than you for your attention to this matter.

    I like what I take from the old testament, for example, the 10 commandments. Those are smart rules to live by, even for people who
    don't believe in God. Humans can't go wrong when they at least try to abide by those rules.


    I'm not saying that the old testament is useless... just saying that Christians use it for background and prophecy.

    During Mas parishioners do 2 readings... old testament... and the Priest does 1... The New Testament... The Priest always does the New testament readings. The Priest will take those 3 readings and makes his homily threading all that together with current events.

    Anyways, I probably triggered a few lefties with my response.


    My story is similar. My wife inspires me in a lot of ways, and my dad, my sister, and my kids. I'm not the man I used to be, and they turned me
    into who I am today.


    The same. I am light years away from where I was. I'm not sure if I'm worthy for heaven, time will tell. I have great children and grandchildren and my wife rocks. If this is life, so be it... I'll take what I have, and I'll keep trying on the spiritual side of my life.


    It would be difficult for a believer to disagree with that statement. Everything Trump does feels right, and that's how good people make other good people feel.


    I recall the pictures you sent of your family at the Trump rallies, the excitement must have been electrifying. When you have great policies, America First, it's not hard to get excited.

    I cannot think the same excitement can be found on the left with their Orange Man Bad policy.

    BTW, and I have JUST seen this... JUST... take it with a grain of salt... The State Department has a 250th Anniversary design for the new passport and Trump's picture will be in it... HAHAHAHA... OMG... I'm getting my daughters passport this year...


    Same here. I liked Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio, and I still like those guys, but Trump is like a father to all of us, and I wouldn't have it any
    other way.


    I think Rubio is better now then he was then. I heard the theory on Trump selection for 2028. They say, he's working JD on local stuff and he's doing all the foreign stuff with Marco. The 2 of them together will be a phenomenal team as President and VP.


    I guess we needed that eye opener, and it seems like we opened enough
    eyes since Trump won every battleground state. That is encouraging.


    He's doing fine and will be doing better in the months coming.

    I wonder what's up with the guy who remained seated at his table and
    said "I have a bad back and I didn't want to get my suit dirty."

    That was creepy.

    And I wonder what's up with Weija Jang standing next to Trump at the
    start of the dinner. (Remember the "Chi-nah" incident?)

    She's creepy too (hot, but creepy.) It seems like these media people
    knew that they were not the target so they had nothing to worry about.
    Not a care in the world.


    Ya, there was a guy eating his dinner and didn't stop. There were people stealing bottles of wine and whatnot... Just remember that they were media types so anything you call weird just might be because they are leftoid liberal media types.

    You guys have more details about this than I do. Which press people
    would a TDS sufferer go after? There weren't many cool ones there.
    Peter Doocy and Harris Faulkner, and I think that's about it.

    I think you are looking at it the wrong way.

    A shooter comes into the auditorium. He only has a very limited time to do something before he's taken out. The person on the stage is easy since he's the only one (of potentially a few) on the stage.

    The people in the audience are another story. It would take much longer for the shooter to pick out Doocy or Faulkner, which means that there's a high probability that he would fire indiscriminately into the audience, hoping to take out the people he wanted.

    That's the part that scares the "journalists". They are used to getting special treatment from the TDS crowd and not be a target.

    There is an arrest warrant for Comey today, not a summons, an arrest warrant.

    Get ready because I think things are happening... and CNN won't be
    telling you either.

    People still watch CNN? Looking at their ratings, I think the only people who watch CNN are the nose-ring crowd and the right wing people who mock what CNN says for their ratings.

    It's funny how you say MAGA are hypocrites and never really support
    your claims...

    In order to support his claims, he would need facts. And facts are like Kryptonite to Leftoids.

    He would also have to form an argument, and, since he can't think for himself, he can't do that either.

    All he can do is what Leftoids do: Slap labels that they don't know the meaning of on to people hoping that they can close down discussion. He doesn't seem to understand that it doesn't work anymore.

    I am a "Not my circus, Not my monkeys" kind of guy... Don't ask me to participate and don't ask me for money.

    But that idea goes against the Leftoid programming. "Don't tell me what to do, but you need to fund what I do want to do."

    This is not hypocrisy this is Diversity of though.

    But remember that Leftoids are hypocrites through and through and that their first play is to label you with
    what they do.

    Republicans and MAGA, in general, support the "D" in DEI. We see "D"iversity in thought whereas Democrats and people on the left have to check their Social Media accounts to see that the major talking points
    are for the day.

    I'm MAGA, and I support the existing anti-discrimination laws, and I'd be in favor of strengthening them because they aren't effective enough. Workplace
    discrimination still happens.

    But of course the Democrats are not doing anything about that, and they're just making things worse by stirring up racial tension, and trying to get a select few to believe that their skin color is a $10,000 off coupon.

    from what I understand, it's only being offered if you get your passport at a certain passport agency located in Washington DC (I'm not gonna drive there

    Ha. This is why we later saw Weija Jang all shaken up, and at a loss for words when she inadvertently said something nice about Trump "He said he's going to give a briefing in 30 minutes and that he wants to reschedule this dinner."

    No, and I'm assuming because of its size that its both the old and new testament. In the Catholic church they make available a book they call the Sunday Missal. The Missal is the New Testament divided into 3.

    If you go to church for 3 years you will have gone over the New Testament completely. What separates a sermon that a Priest gives today, and say one from 4 years ago, is the current events. The Priest is to draw all the current readings in with current events thus making things relatable


    You're right, but you've got to admit this: It's not just the policies that we love. The policies are the important part, but all those Charlie Kirk moments that we have with leftists are great too. And
