🚨 Laura Ingraham, live on Fox News, says it's BEYOND time to wrap up the Iran operation -- and TORCHES those telling Trump to continue "94 PERCENT of midterm voters said the Iran war was a MAJOR factor for them. That's just a fact. It's NOT an opinion." "Let's never lose sight of the fact that we're up against fanatics. The notion that we're going to change the regime's mind when with a few bombing runs is DELUSIONAL." "The longer we're bogged down, the WEAKER we become, hurting our munitions stockpiles and further eroding public support." "Anyone who's telling the President otherwise.. is either FOOLISH or LYING or has other ULTERIOR MOTIVES." — @IngrahamAngle 🔥🔥🔥

The post-mortem on Jolly's campaign will be that he was a lazy candidate and hated fundraising. He couldn't debate because to do so would force him to defend horribly unpopular positions re: women's sports and trans kids. What exactly does his campaign for Governor consist of?

🚨⚠️ A WARNING TO FLORIDA REPUBLICANS: If you’re thinking about voting for David Jolly out of frustration, don’t make the mistake Jacksonville made. Jacksonville had a long history of Republican mayors and a Republican supermajority on the City Council. Then three Republicans split the vote in a divisive mayoral race, and many Republicans refused to unite behind Daniel Davis. Donna Deegan won—and Jacksonville’s political landscape has shifted dramatically. We’ve already seen Republicans lose ground on the City Council. Now imagine that happening statewide. A Democrat winning the Florida governor’s mansion would send a massive signal that Florida is becoming competitive for Democrats. That could change the political environment, attract more Democratic organizing and fundraising, and potentially accelerate the shift we’ve watched happen elsewhere. This isn’t just about one election. It’s about what Florida looks like five or ten years from now. Don’t let frustration today create consequences we can’t easily reverse tomorrow. 🇺🇸 #FloridaPolitics #FloridaGovernor #Republicans #GOP #Conservative #FloridaRepublicans #DavidJolly #ByronDonalds #Election2026 #SaveFlorida #KeepFloridaRed #RepublicanVoters #ConservativeVoters #FloridaGOP

18% of registered Republicans are supporting our campaign because Floridians are looking for change, not more partisan politics. They want someone focused on housing, health care, education, clean air and clean water. Those aren’t Democratic or Republican issues. They’re Florida issues.

So I (and others) don’t have to keep answering the same questions about Byron Donalds, bookmark this. Credit: yours truly.

I think JD Vance’s response, unfortunately, misses the point. When the Pope says, “God is not on the side of those who wield the sword” (Matthew 26:52), he is not denying the Church’s Just War tradition. He is calling us back to the heart of Christ. In Matthew 26:52, Jesus says, “all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” He also teaches us to love not only our friends but our enemies (Matthew 5:44), to refuse retaliation (Matthew 5:39), and in the end, He submits to the Cross without violence. This shows a clear direction: the Kingdom of God is not built through force. As He says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). Christ does not present violence as something that reflects God’s nature. He allows Himself to be killed rather than defend Himself with force. That is central to the Church’s message. What is Just War Theory? Just War Theory was developed mainly by St. Augustine and later refined by St. Thomas Aquinas. It is not a justification for violence, but a strict moral framework meant to limit it. It accepts that, in a fallen world, the use of force may sometimes be tolerated, but only under serious conditions. There must be a just cause, such as defending innocent life or resisting grave injustice. It must be declared by a legitimate authority. The intention must be right, not driven by revenge, hatred, or conquest, but by the desire to restore justice and peace. War must truly be a last resort, after every serious peaceful option has been exhausted. There must be a real probability of success, so that lives are not wasted in a hopeless conflict. The response must be proportionate, meaning the harm caused must not be greater than the evil being resisted. And even in war, civilians and non-combatants must never be deliberately targeted. Even with all these conditions, the Church never says that God supports war. At most, it says that moral responsibility may, in very limited circumstances, tolerate the use of force to prevent a greater evil. Peace remains the goal. Violence is never the ideal. What I find difficult in Vance’s response is the tone toward the Pope. It comes across as though he is trying to correct theological language, as if the Pope is offering just another opinion. But the Pope’s role is precisely to speak into moral and theological questions, especially when they touch on real issues like war and power. At a deeper level, this seems like a clash between political reasoning and the logic of the Gospel. Christ is the standard, not political strategy, not historical precedent. Everything has to be measured against Him. So yes, the Church has wrestled with the reality of war. But that does not weaken the Pope’s point. If anything, it makes it more necessary. In a world that keeps finding ways to justify violence, the Church must keep pointing back to Christ, who did not conquer by the sword, but by the Cross.

I’m a Catholic who believes Jesus offers Salvation for all true believers. I won’t disparage my brothers and sisters in Christ if any denomination bc it’s the opposite of what He commanded me to do. I’m not a judging authority. I know what I believe and why I believe it. I leave the salvation of others and knowledge of their heart up to Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
