Forced Faith Corrupts Faith.

NEW: Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

Barack Obama doesn't need to lie about an uncle inventing radar to make us think he comes from a more intelligent family than Donald Trump's. He just needs to open his mouth and speak a complete sentence.

There's never been a better example of "Fool's Gold."

If my grocery shopping trip is any indicator, corrupt #Paxton does not have many votes in San Antonio. Go #Talarico! #vote

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

One day, these professed men of God find themselves campaigning for a predator, defending ethic cleansing, celebrating the expulsion of refugees, and vilifying an entire religious tradition... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/franklin-g...

NEW: Denver Archbishop James Golka distanced himself on Friday from the White House video of him praying over President Trump, saying he had expected a private meeting. He stopped short of apologizing. None of the other 11 bishops has responded to requests for comment.

NEW: The man who organized Thursday’s Oval Office prayer with 12 Catholic bishops resigned as a dean in 2022 after faculty challenged his degrees and called him a “con artist.” A senior Vatican official told me it was “a highly inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo.”

If it is possible to know which specific companies are now going to be selling Russian fuel in the US, someone please let us all know because that’s something many of us want to know.

Pretty sure this woman has at least *one* wicked man in her life who needs to be crushed, but it isn't James Talarico.

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

May the intercession of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi bring us closer to Christ, closer to the Church, and closer to each other. May their prayers comfort us, empower us, and protect us as we strive to live the Gospel, share God’s love, and rebuild our Church. Amen. assisiproject.com/prayer

Cornyn on Starlink being throttled in Ukraine: "I don't believe that Elon Musk would do this without at least the acquiescence of the White House. I think it's frankly shameful. I think we should be supporting the victim, not the aggressor."

INSANE line for James Talarico at the University of Houston

Jesse Watters has worked at Fox News for 24 years and is just now discovering 'fear porn' helps motivate people to vote. Fox News is fear porn 24/7. The network is an emotional roller coaster of paranoia and fear that promotes racism, bigotry and xenophobia.

Lord Jesus Christ, meek & humble of heart, you offer to those who follow you a yoke that is good to bear, a burden that is light. Accept, we beg you, our prayer & work of this day, & grant us the rest we need that we may be ever more willing to serve you. #Compline #NightPrayer #Prayer #JesusChrist

Sean Hannity clutched his pearls tightly when Troy Jackson said, "Aw, shut up," to Susan Collins during a debate. I've included just a few of Trump's harsh comments to Kamala Harris and the press. Just yesterday Trump repeatedly snapped at a journalist in the Oval Office.

Elon Musk abandoned his kids and disparages them if they transition. Pure evil.

MUST READ: Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush and son of another President Bush, explains why he voted for James Talarico. In part: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.”

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

The fact that #Musk is undermining #Ukraine and pouring millions into elections in support of Republicans tells us a great deal about what that party has become.

Doubting Tommy interrupts supper to ask Jesus a question

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

I agree.

New in PN: The weird rise and spectacular fall of Katie Zacharia "Zacharia is not a victim. She is a lying conspiracy theorist who desperately maneuvered herself to attract the attention of an image-obsessed fascist in hopes that she could gain money and fame by lying on his behalf."

Donald Trump's most prolific ghostwriter.

#Ukraine is being sold out to Russia by a Russian plant - Donald Trump. Prove me wrong.

El-Sayed on JD Vance: First of all, Ohio State owes that boy a refund because he clearly didn't get anything from his education there…

That last line ☠️

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

OSSOFF: And yesterday in Dalton, Trump said he would rename Hormuz the Trump Strait. See, the draft dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded.

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...
