Trump says every "drug boat" equals 25,000 American lives saved.

Juan Orlando Hernandez trafficked 400 tons of cocaine — the equivalent of 200 drug boats.

By Trump's own formula, he just pardoned a man who "killed" 5 million Americans.

The arrogance of power was known in Roman times.
The story goes that when a victorious general would ride in his chariot, a slave would whisper admonishments to remind him of his mortal condition with the phrase, “Look behind thee; remember thou art a man”
(Respice post te! Hominem memento te).

What's really behind the bishops'new stance on immigration? A compelling read argues it's not just the Pope's message—it's plummeting mass attendance

Father Biosca estimated that Mass attendance the past two weekends has fallen about 20%, from a typical level of 2,500 people to fewer than 2,000.

Whilst some American bishops may have rediscovered their moral spine (maybe even listening to the Pope?),
it is the notable decline in attendance that registers a lot more. www.americamagazine.org/news/2025/08...
