If the Maryland man has MS13 tattoos and is not in MS13, he won’t last long in prison.

Thank you Ann for presentation and link to Ricochet. I have struggled with this practice of disparate impact for a long time. What I believe the left is negligent of and outright negligent of is repeated awareness practices and of through US policy and especially modern social media IS the intentional discriminatory practices against human differences.

The liberal mainstream media is already working overtime to claim Pope Leo XIV as one of their own. They're looking forward to a Trump and Pope meeting like some kind of shoot out in a cosmic OK Corral between good and evil. The surprise may be the death of the synthetic religion "woke" as more American Catholics get that old time religion and start going to church again.

This Kilmar stuff is maddening. In my travels last week I saw CBS in Baltimore and WINS in NY still call him "Maryland father wrongly deported by Trump Administration" and the New York Times contortions are worthy of the circus. Also, they throw around due process like some kind of magic talisman. Not a huge fan of the Princess Bride but the quote is pretty good and fits with the media bleating: "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means." This SOB got a case all the way to the Supreme Court. That's a lot of freaking due process for some illegal alien wife beater speeding human trafficker (with expired license and no insurance) gang banger from El Salvador. Let's pray the other 30 (probably more like 50) million do not have to get that in order to get rid of them...BTW, I want to know, having paid princely sums to drive into NY in the form of tolls at the Outerbridge and Verrazzano Bridges, do illegals even actually pay the tolls? They have tolls by mail and EZ pass- I bet there are a lot of unpaid tolls we are not hearing about to add to the list of crap we are putting up with.

The New Pope: Déjà Vu All Over Again. He talks social justice like Leo XIII, but his vaccine boosterism shows he’s marching to a very different drumbeat. https://substack.com/home/post/p-163163788

Wise Ann knows that female cops are a total joke; I found this interesting post by BH on Substack which proves Ann right.

“I have watched numerous police body cam videos over the last year. A few observations:

Body cams have completely deflated the bullshit claims by BLM and left wing losers about police brutality. Body cams have shown over and over how loser race baiters lied. That’s good.

Women are the absolute worst during traffic stops. Black women in particular go into hysterical gyrations calling their friends and ignoring cops. They know cops are afraid to restrain or arrest them. Young women of all colors are especially ridiculous when they call their daddy. Stunning entitlement.

Cops are fat. Both men and women cops are fat as hell. They can’t run. They can’t fight.

Cops are terrible with physical restraint and fights. Time and again cops are overly reliant on their fucking taser. Tasers are garbage. I am always stunned at how even basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu would get a suspect under control in seconds. But fatass cops have no moves and get their asses kicked. BJJ should be required for all cops.

Women cops get wrecked in physical fights over and over again. It’s scary to watch.

Cops can and should shoot more people. Way more. I don’t care if this is controversial or hurts your feelings. Too many violent suspects get away and then hurt or kill someone because a cop didn’t drop the hammer. It’s maddening.

Police agencies across the country should reinstate the use of tonfa and billy clubs. Many situations would be resolved with a solid blow to the head or knee. Violence is acceptable. Tasers suck.

Clearly the cop defunders and left wing loser governments have hamstrung their cops from protecting themselves and their citizens. Violent criminals have won.”

From the school of hard knuckles to figuring out if the "Pope is Catholic," there is always "food for thought." Locally, the focus is on Villanova University and was Pope Leo XIV a "wildcat." If nothing else, we learned he is a learn-ed man - a math major:

"Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, OSA, ’77 CLAS was elected the 267th head of the Catholic Church and the Sovereign of the Vatican City State during the second day of the papal conclave held in the Sistine Chapel. He assumes the papacy under the name Pope Leo XIV. A Villanova University alumnus, Pope Leo XIV is the first Pope from the United States and the first Augustinian friar to be elected pontiff . . . . Born in Chicago, Ill., Pope Leo XIV, then Robert Prevost, joined the Order of St. Augustine in 1977. Following his undergraduate studies at Villanova, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1977, he earned a Master of Divinity from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago in 1982 and was ordained a priest the same year. Pope Leo XIV went on to earn both licentiate (1984) and doctorate (1987) degrees in canon law from the Pontifical College of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Villanova also awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa, in 2014."

Does that mean he will be called DR. Pope Leo XIV? I have no idea. If DR. Jill was elected pope at the conclave, I suspect so. haha.

As Ann said, Colonial America was concerned about loyalties to a foreign Pope. Many here can recall discussions when John F. Kennedy was elected US President. Even more concern with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi's Catholic faith - however, as Ann stated, many Catholics departed from allegiance to their church. It's clear their allegiance is to the Democratic Party, first and foremost - (not even to Americans or Constitution they were elected to serve).

But "Is the Pope 'Catholic.'" Absolutely. The early Christian church was not, as Ann stated. Neither Peter nor any of the disciples/apostles of Jesus were "Roman Catholic." They were all Jews. Jesus was a Jew. The early church was Jewish, with non-Jews "grafted in," according to Biblical sources. "The Last Supper" was a part of the Jewish Passover Seder. What happened?

William Norman Ewer wrote the first stanza - Cecil Browne wrote the 2nd much later:

"How odd / Of God / To choose / The Jews."

"But not so odd / As those who choose / A Jewish God / But spurn the Jews."

(Check out "The Chosen" show on Amazon Prime Video if all of this seems foreign. Up to season 5 now - and it's free.)

Question for Ann: would you like to debate Candace Owens about the benefits of Catholicism vs Protestantism?

She recently asserted that America was founded by a bunch of satanic free-mason creeps, and called into question the entire conceptualization of our nation. She’s also hinted that Protestantism was a basically just a luciferian rebellion against the authority of the Catholic Church. Would love to see you both go head-to-head on this issue.
