jill's private vs. public reaction to this event apparently
Former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden says she thought her husband, Joe Biden, was having a stroke on stage during his now infamous 2024 debate with Donald Trump.
“I don’t know what happened,” Dr. Biden said. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my god, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”
When asked if she was “horrified” watching her husband struggle on stage, Dr. Biden said, “I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never.”

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

Thirty years my mother has prayed that I take my religion more seriously and God knew the only way to do it was to send a Pope who is also a poster that hates the president.

we’re almost there.
It’s wild.
“In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture.
“America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.
“As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…
