There are issues equally as necessary as Trump, Israel, the Center East, and so on. Maybe much more necessary. Like a child hippopotamus born December 9 on the Metro Richmond Zoo.
The delivery a giant deal. Uncommon in captivity.
The Zoo ran a naming contest. Greater than 160,000 voted. From 165 international locations. Child hippo’s identify: Poppy! Would you imagine 52.8 % voted for “Princess Poppy.” Proves folks worth some issues equal to or greater than politics.
An image of Poppy is on the web. She is comparatively small and exquisite! Nice eyes! A video of Poppy can be out there. It reveals Poppy within the water for the primary time along with her mom. Each splashing round. Poppy’s dimension smaller than her Mother’s head.
Pope Francis isn’t any idiot. He is aware of an enemy when he sees one. He’s conscious from Trump’s first time period that Donald isn’t any buddy of his.
The Vatican has named Cardinal Robert McElroy, a liberal and Trump critic, to steer the D.C. Archdiocese.
Let’s place every thing in perspective.
Because the U.S. is split, the Catholic Church hierarchy is. The U.S. Congress of Bishops was received over years in the past by the Republican far proper. It mainly opposes Pope Francis. Newt Gingrich could also be described as a member of the Republican far proper. Trump in 2017 appointed Gingrich’s spouse, his third one for that matter, as Ambassador to the Vatican. That gave Newt a entrance row seat in Rome.
Throughout Callista Louise Gingrich’s 4 12 months time period as Vatican Ambassador, Newt had the run of the Vatican. He joined with Steve Bannon to undermine the Vatican. Birds of a feather. Recall Gingrich had undermined the Home of Representatives to make it a Republican stronghold. Now the 2 collectively labored to undermine the Vatican and be a part of it with the considering of the U.S. Congress of Bishops. The far proper Republicans needed the U.S. Catholic voting block to be theirs.
A brand new time period for Trump forward. The place do Callista and Newt stand within the image? Callista was named by Trump on 12/22/24 because the presumptive nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Newt again within the ball recreation.
Apparent why Francis has to guard himself and the Vatican.

Home Republicans frequently make errors. Of any and all nature. Continuously so.
Speaker Johnson purports to be a spiritual man. I don’t dispute such. Nevertheless, he doesn’t all the time know what he’s speaking about spiritual or in any other case.
In his Speaker’s acceptance speech, he shared a prayer he claimed Thomas Jefferson had mentioned. There isn’t a proof Jefferson ever mentioned it.
Yesterday was January 6. An outdated adage that appears to be true: Historical past repeats itself. Not essentially a January 6 once more, however related exercise may happen one other day.
