1. It's probably a consequence of the deplorable state of history education in so many of our public schools that young people think Zohran Mamdani has "new ideas."
2. Pope Leo lamented the tragic accidental bombing by the Israelis of the only remaining Catholic church in Gaza. Maybe he'll next lament the fact that there's only one Catholic church left in Gaza in the first place. It'd be instructive if the pope would publicly elaborate on why that is.
3. The Trump administration is regularly accused of being a "threat to our democracy." Ironically, the accusation is made by the same people who voted for an administration, the Biden regime, which tried to establish the abortive Disinformation Governance Board, a bureaucracy that would've policed speech that dissented from the leftist establishment’s perspective; whose apparatchiks sicced the FBI on angry parents protesting at school board meetings; who worked with Twitter (X) and other social media giants to silence and deplatform people with opposing views; and who sent spies into Catholic churches to keep tabs on pro-lifers.
Now we hear on the news that Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, has conclusive evidence that the Obama administration, including Obama himself, along with his intelligence agencies, deliberately and falsely produced documents in 2016 to slander the newly-elected Donald Trump and to undermine his presidency.
If that's all true, nothing Donald Trump has done in either of his terms as president comes anywhere close to being the threat to our democracy as what the Obama and Biden people did.
