Pope Francis Has the Best Remedy for a Bad Knee: Tequila

By Brooke Leigh Howard
GUGLIELMO MANGIAPANE

Pope Francis really knows how to turn a bad situation into a party.

Doctors have advised him to use a wheelchair or cane in order to get around. The group in St. Peter’s Square applauded the pope for his perseverance and ability to move despite his pain, but Francis was compelled to share a little secret with them. “Do you know what I need for my knee? Some tequila.” The seminarians laughed along with Francis—who is 85—and promised to bring him a bottle of his favorite pain reliever.

Yes, burning the Qur’an can violate the First Amendment

  • So, whether the right wing Swedish politician could be punished for his conduct would depend on whether the government could prove that causing the violence was his specific intent in burning the Muslim [book] and that the violent response was likely and imminent (and grave).

GOP Senate Candidate Kathy Barnette Takes Jab at ‘Less Electable’ Trump

A Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate who has surged in polls ahead of the state’s GOP primary took a jab at Donald Trump after he questioned her electability. Trump, who endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in the race, was featured in a robocall made to voters on Monday afternoon that described Kathy Barnette as being someone who wouldn’t “put America first.” She was quick to respond, noting that her run in a 2020 congressional district race had actually been more successful than Trump’s bid there. “I lost by 19 points, Donald Trump lost by more than 26 points,” Barnett was quoted saying by The New York Times. “Who’s less electable with those numbers?” she said. She went on to describe herself as a promising alternative to MAGA Republicans, saying she is “able to get people that Donald Trump was not able to get.” “Contrary to the left, President Trump does not have a cult of followers,” she said. “We never aligned our values with President Trump; President Trump aligned his values with us.”

Fox News Turns To Wall Street Journal To Cover Up White Supremacy

By John Amato

During Harris Faulkner's Fox News program Monday, she and Will Cain discussed a very short Wall Street Journal op-ed that attacks the left, blaming mental illness to excuse the rabid white supremacy permeating Fox News' airwaves.

After doing a segment on the Buffalo massacre, Faulkner brought on Fox and Friends weekend host Will Cain to wash Fox News' hands of any criticism they receive.

Faulkner introduced the segment by saying the left was "jumping on the shooting to push a certain narrative, the WSJ says it's simply, is not that simple."

Faulkner read off this portion of the op-ed:

vlcsnap-2022-05-16-10h02m35s217

"Partisans are already using the massacre to leap to broader political conclusions, as they always do. There’s no doubt that a racist subculture exists in America and is spread on social media. Politicians and media figures have an obligation to condemn it and such conspiratorial notions as “white replacement theory.” But mass shooters have had many motivations in recent years, and mental illness seems to be the most significant common denominator, to the extent there is one."

At any given moment, the firm provides technical expertise, enriched fuel, and equipment to nuclear reactors around the world. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and, more acutely, the Russian military’s dangerous actions atthe Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plantand inthe Chernobyl exclusion zonehave many countries rethinking their dependence on Russian nuclear products and searching for alternatives. Additionally, the ensuing global effort to cripple Russian access to international markets calls into question the viability of current contracts, government licensing, and financial instruments involved in Russia’s nuclear exports.
