Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.
Jennifer Welch: โTheyโre so terrified that Zohran Mamdani or Barack Obama isnโt white, but theyโre smarter, theyโre better looking, theyโre more liked. Black excellence exposes white mediocrity and they canโt stomach itโ
๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐นDonald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni โ and she delivers a fiery speech heโll never forget.
Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni โan insult to Jesus,โ accusing her of โnot being woke,โ and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for โDon Dementia,โ this time he picked the wrong target.
Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didnโt just respond โ she delivered a full moral reckoning.
โThe President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,โ Giorgia Meloni declared. โDo you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.โ
And that was only the beginning.
โDo you want to know what else insults Jesus?โ she continued. โDeporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.โ
Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
โDo you want to know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent schools in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in yet another endless warโฆ hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.โ
This wasnโt politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment.
Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that โtrans children are children of God,โ completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
โI am not a perfect Christian,โ she said. โThere was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.โ
Then came the line that hit the hardest:
โJesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselvesโฆ Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine hatred in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on Earth?โ
This is how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity and conviction.
Trump tried to discredit her. Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a sermon that now echoes far beyond that hall.
Please share Giorgia Meloniโs inspiring words.
Italy's Meloni responds to Trump:
President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless. As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.
My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italyโs national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done. That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister.
Italy remains a sovereign nation. In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.
If you watched the Obama Presidential Center opening, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade yesterday afternoon - and nothing else - you could actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250.
True story.
CNN at Reflecting Pool: This is the output from what's going on over there. And you can see it is clearly green. This is the water that the federal officials are saying is absolutely clear. It very clearly is not
