    If MAGA thinks the New Pope is Woke, Wait Till They Read About Jesus

    Picture this: the White House is stressed, Chicago is festering under federal patrols, Republicans are fighting over funding bills, and in strolls Pope Leo XIV—America’s first pontiff—to disrupt the script. His declaration is simple and seismic: being “pro-life” cannot exempt cruelty toward immigrants. To sanction inhumane migration policy, he says, is to undercut life itself.

    Summoning the Generals: A Military Summit or a Coup Dress Rehearsal?

    On September 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, something happened that will never feel routine. President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presided over a convocation of roughly 700–800 of America’s highest military officers—generals, admirals, senior enlisted advisers—flown from around the globe on short notice. Why? To hear a plan: use U.S. cities

    The Alexa+ Trap: When Home Tech Becomes Soft Control

    At precisely 10 a.m. ET, Panos Panay strode onto the Amazon stage and began the familiar dance: new gadgets, bolder claims, bigger vision. But this time the reveal looked less like a tech refresh and more like a domestic overlay. This wasn’t just about speakers and TVs. It was about claiming more of your life—how

    The Funding Threat: Trump’s NYC Mayoral Blackmail

    The stage was set when Eric Adams abruptly bowed out of the NYC mayoral race. The city’s Democratic machinery tiptoed toward a new favorite: Zohran Mamdani. Then Trump hit “post” on Truth Social, going full lurid: Mamdani “needs the money from me … to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises” and, crucially, “won’t be

    Federal Government Shut Down is Trump’s Trojan Horse

    It begins at midnight, not with fireworks or ceremony but with lights flickering off in office after office, cubicle after cubicle, across the federal government. The hum of fluorescent tubes dies. The emails bounce back. The phones ring without answer. The federal government, the largest employer in the United States, goes into induced coma—not because

    MAGA is a Domestic Terrorist Idealogy: Fires, Bullets, and Quiet Denials

In Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, a man drove a pickup into a Mormon chapel, sprung open fire with a rifle mid-worship, doused the building with gasoline, and watched as flame and lead collided.

    Fear and Long Guns on Michigan Avenue

    Chicago has always thrived on theater. Jazz clubs, improv stages, opera houses, the permanent farce of city politics—this is a town that knows spectacle. But nothing quite prepared the Magnificent Mile for the latest federal roadshow: dozens of Border Patrol agents in tactical helmets, body armor, and long guns parading up Michigan Avenue like they’d
