What in the hell is wrong with this man? Pope Francis blames NATO, seeks meeting with Putin. Plus, a rant on extreme judicial overreach and legislating from the bench as a long-standing high court decision is set to be overturned

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Catholic Church’s chief prelate, declares NATO holds a degree of responsibility for Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine, says he wishes to travel to Moscow to meet with Putin - I am saying this as a lifelong Protestant, but a purported man of God would not be victim-blaming, and would boldly state that Putin is an agent of Satan who is never going to be reasoned with. Nor would ‘Francis’ be giving any hearing to Russia’s absurd claims of NATO aggression toward them if he were not given to this ‘both sides are at fault’ rhetoric we tend to hear from leftist peaceniks during any given global conflict. The world around us is colored in shades of gray, yet there is a clear villain and a clear protagonist in this fight. No, I would think a man of God would be able to more clearly recognize right from wrong, and would be unequivocally supporting the people of Ukraine instead of speaking of his desire to rub elbows with a genocidal madman.

Ukrainian forces destroy fifteen Russian aircraft in one day - It is estimated that up to 25,000 Russian troops are dead. Perhaps we may never know the actual death toll, but we do know that the Ukrainian military is showing itself to be more than formidable. (Ukrinform 5/04)

National minority groups taking the brunt of Russian military losses in Ukraine - As opposed to ethnic Russians. While taking some losses, they are not often the ones on the front lines. Human life is meaningless to Putin, and his military is nothing more than his personal meat grinder. (UATV Video 5/02)

Roe vs. Wade will be overturned, purported leaked Supreme Court draft suggests - I do not speak of my personal feelings about abortion, I will not do so under any circumstance, and I do not approve of others speaking about it publicly; pro or con. I will only say that I find the passionate activists on both sides of the issue to be insufferable. And all I know is, the Supreme Court has apparently just voted to put a match to a tinderbox. #Murica has been one mere inch away from a modern civil war breaking out, and this very well may be the last straw. A depraved, polyglot country spread over such a vast area of land is not built to last (that also means you, Mother Russia, especially you), and I am disgusted to have to be a citizen among such unserious people. There are a million more pressing issues we face, but we’re going to kill each other over what ought to be a completely private matter. Mr. Putin is having a blast watching this s**tshow from afar. And, all you Republicans celebrating right now, know the Democratic Party is licking its lips and rubbing its hands, now that they have a cause that is going to galvanize their base to come to the polls in November in epic numbers. And how is the GOP going to galvanize that portion of their base that votes for them only because of abortion, now that the Court has made its ruling and the days of back-alley butcherers are coming back? What was looking like a certain victory for the GOP may now be their undoing. Assuming, of course, elections are even held and the entire country hasn’t burned to the ground by November; cannot stress this enough, there is going to be widespread protests and violence in the coming days, weeks, and months. This is extreme judicial malpractice by the Supreme Court - these nine individuals know the people of this country are chomping at the bit to start slaughtering one another, they know we are still not completely out of the woods after two years of a deadly pandemic, and they know nuclear warfare is all too real a possibility at the moment thanks to the aforementioned Mr. Putin. They could have refused to hear this case, in the interest of trying to keep a fragile peace, but they chose to do so in spite of the danger. We know full well several of these Justices are not really judges at all, but political activists posing as such, put there by the respective parties to enforce their given political agendas. and they will go down as war criminals for overstepping their boundaries and wading (no pun intended) into issues that they should have no business taking up. No more lifetime appointments - one four-year term on the Court and then they are done. These black robes are drunk with power, and are entirely insulated from the consequences of their decisions.
