He may be the leader of the Catholic church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections. chicago.suntimes.com/pope-le…

Pope Leo will vote from the Vatican, by mail, in Illinois' midterm election

That mail ballot had to travel a long way — from Joliet to the Vatican City, where Pope Leo XIV has led the Catholic church since white smoke appeared from the Sistine Chapel in May 2025.

Every two years Obama emerges for two weeks, reminds us just how badly today's politicians pale in comparison, and then goes back into retirement.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

The NYT is so desperate to find an October surprise they bury the lede: 1) The staffer retracted her statement. 2) The staffer was a fired disgruntled employee. 3) They stuff this line in the article: "Ballot-stacking tactics are common in politics and generally considered legal — and have been employed by both parties in Alaska."

Obama tells Georgia audience that as a dad, he loves him some Cheesecake Factory. Paraphrasing: "The administration didn't dispute why it costs so much to eat at the Cheesecake Factory due to tariffs. They weren't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. But they took great umbrage about the decor. The even mobilized an entire government response to that joke."

Gov. Kathy Hochul, asked about Nicki Minaj’s beef, says she should “get outside.” “And stop going to Trump rallies, it’s kinda poisoning your mind.”

Kathy Hochul is an evil woman. The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance.
