Pope Francis on Friday slammed both major U.S. presidential candidates as "against life," because of Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on abortion, and former President Donald Trump's stance on immigration, but told Americans to choose the "lesser of two evils." The pope, who has weighed in on politics as the head of the Catholic Church more than his recent predecessors, did not indicate which candidate was considered the "lesser of two evils." (snip) The pope previously blasted Trump for his immigration policies in the 2016 presidential election, because of his desire to build a border wall. Francis claimed that anyone who did so was "not a Christian."

I have no use for this guy, but he does remind us of a fundamental flaw in our system. An honest man cannot get elected because he will be destroyed by the criminal political class. That leaves criminals to run, thus we always have to choose between the lesser of two evils. No matter what, we end up with evil. Never in my life have I voted for an honest man because there was never one on the ballot.

I am so sick of people saying that Trump, anyone pro-Trump and MAGA are anti-immigration. We unequivocally are not. We respect borders and laws. Legal immigration is what founded this country. The first settlers had to get Crown approval. As a Jesuit, Bergoglio knows that. All religious orders had to get approval from the governments of Spain and Portugal to prostelitize in the New World. He's just angry that the Spanish Crown revoked that privelege from the Jesuits.

The Harris-Walz campaign released a statement Friday that claimed, “Trump left the Biden-Harris Administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal — only a dangerous, costly mess.” (snip) The Biden administration has never held anyone accountable for the bungled withdrawal that played out on television screens across the world, and President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have said they have no regrets.

In Illinois, they've figured out how to save the planet: They're snatching the mini-shampoo bottles off your sink at that pricey hotel you're staying at and making you use a big communal bottle instead. No more cute souvenirs of your travels for you. According to Illinois Policy, which appears to be a local think tank: The days are numbered for small shampoo bottles in Illinois hotels because of a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Hotels with more than 50 rooms are banned from providing single-use plastic bottles of shampoo, mouthwash and other toiletries starting July 1, 2025. If a hotel has less than 50 rooms, the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

Turley, on “America Reports,” claimed that Merchan’s rulings against Trump during his case were advantageous to his reelection bid, suggesting that maintaining the September sentencing date would have further intensified support for the former president.
