The Accession Of Pope Leo XIV A Moment To Have Hope About The Future!

Ronald 2 Comments

The accession of Pope Leo XIV on the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, the end of World War II in Europe, and defeating the evil of Nazi Germany, is a moment to have hope for the future, at a time when there are so many gloomy realities that have occurred in 2025.

Not only the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israel-Gaza War, and the possible war between India and Pakistan, but also the unrelenting gloom and negativism of the first nearly 16 weeks of the second Trump Presidency, has made for a very difficult few months for those people who have a sense of compassion, decency, empathy, morality and ethics!

This author and blogger is Jewish, but had tears of joy at the accession of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost to the Papacy, as he is truly a man of the people, of ordinary citizens of all nations, and stands out as a totally different mentality than Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the rest of the criminal crowd governing America in these times.

It is already clear that Pope Leo XIV will become “controversial” in his utterances and actions, and will cause the American government to lash out against him, but he will be a beacon against the evil of Trump and his minions.

The Pope is not just for Catholics, but for people of all religions, nationalities, races, and genders, and he will be an advocate for the poor, the disadvantaged, the marginalized, the needy, and promote dialogue and build bridges for all mankind!

Donald Trump: Compulsive, Massive Liar,Obsessed With Money And Profit, And No Conscience

Ronald 7 Comments

Donald Trump is the most compulsive and massive liar in modern American history, and rivals Adolf Hitler in his use of the Big Lie Technique, that the more one lies, the more gullible people believe. what he utters.

Trump has a cult like a religion, including evangelical Christians, who distort and manipulate the teachings of Jesus Christ, and overlook all of his egregious sins, including his lack of concern for human life, in the quest and obsession he has with money and profit. He will throw any group under the bus in his quest for economic advantage, including children, the poor and disadvantaged.

If it comes to taking a stand for morality and ethics, for common decency and empathy, Donald Trump is long gone.

He is a very evil man who will go down in history as a true villain, and will be condemned in history for the human suffering and lack of concern for the harm he has done and is doing daily.

Speaker Paul Ryan Dismissal Of Catholic Chaplain For Statement About Protecting Those Less Fortunate Is An Outrage!

Ronald Leave a comment

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has been a disgraceful Speaker, far worse than his predecessor John Boehner.

That is saying a lot, as Boehner was far from virtuous.

But Ryan who defines himself as a “devout” Catholic is nothing better than a phony, as his Catholicism and Christian beliefs are extreme right wing “prosperity” based.

The right wing Christianity condemns the poor and disadvantaged, and emphasizes acquisition of wealth over everything. the precise repudiation of the message of Jesus Christ.

So the decision of Ryan to dismiss the Catholic chaplain Patrick Conroy for his statement hoping that the recently enacted tax bill, which clearly benefited the rich over the rest of the population, that there should be no winners or losers in the legislation, and that benefits should be balanced and shared by all Americans, is to be condemned,

What is wrong with that statement? It is a Social Justice view of Catholicism and Christianity, totally appropriate, and the true message that Jesus preached.

Ryan’s abrupt decision, after he announced his retirement at the end of this year, was denounced by Democrats, but also many Republicans in the House of Representatives as totally outrageous and should not be happening.

It just adds to this blogger’s long held denunciation of Ryan, going back to when he was selected as Mitt Romney’s Vice Presidential running mate in 2012, which led to bitter attacks by many trolls on this author and his views on this blog, as well as on social media.

Now, more than ever, Paul Ryan has proved how disgraceful and biased a person he is, with his Ayn Rand, Social Darwinist view of his faith and of the rights of the American people.

Ryan would love to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and other social safety net programs, and for that, he will be condemned in history.
