Starting to think six more trips to watch a Georgetown team that has revealed itself to once again be mediocre is wildly excessive.

Anyway, Nuzzi is going to milk this latest set of gross revelations for all it’s worth, parlaying it into more insipid fawning coverage on her I’m-not-sorry-but-this-is-a-redemption-tour gig.

Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Another tell here is that traditional right-wing Catholicism tends to express itself through devotion to the Virgin Mary; Marian apparitions inevitably stress obedience to the Church and rejection of anything that might interfere with that (communism but also “materialism,” broadly defined).

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.
