The White House lawn is about to smell like cigarettes and unpaid child support.

@KurtSupeCPA Best to leave a percentage to kids, rest to conduit trust for spouse. You are right that kids will often get zero later if second spouse gets 100%, often redirected to others

@UziCryptoo Credit card companies can collect after death only if a probate court case is opened by family. Can't collect from family otherwise

🚨 The Pentagon summoned the Pope’s ambassador to a closed-door meeting and threatened him.

Named official. On record.

Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby called Cardinal Christophe Pierre to the Pentagon and delivered this message:

“The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

Then a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy — the 14th century moment when the French monarchy used military force to physically remove the Pope from Rome and bend the Church to its will.

The Vatican understood the reference immediately.

The Pope’s planned visit to America for the 250th anniversary celebration was cancelled.

And then something remarkable happened.

The Pope didn’t retreat. He pressed harder. He called the war unjust. He called Trump’s threats unacceptable. He told Americans to call Congress.

@KurtSupeCPA Agree with everything you said, except "when you die the obligation doesn't disappear." Not true that heirs are "stuck" paying for deceased parents' timeshare

What Has America Turned Into? It seems to have been taken straight out of the pages of Game of Thrones.

They assassinated Iranian leaders from behind the scenes, including former President Ahmadinejad, who was an opposition politician. As if that weren’t enough, they bombed the house of activist Zahra Rahnavard, where she lived with her husband under house arrest since 2011. Luckily, both survived.

What is the point of assassinating even opponents? So that no one is left and they can colonize the country, just like they did in Venezuela?

The US was in the middle of a negotiation process when they decided to kill those people and dozens of family members who were also murdered.

Who else will sit down to negotiate with the US? The American regime seems to have been taken straight out of the pages of Game of Thrones.

It wasn’t only the threats of invading Greenland or the ties to separatist movements inside Canada, its neighbor and major partner, but the gangster way America has started behaving toward the world.

The US and Israel today are actually the most lawless regimes on the planet. This is unbelievable because one is the greatest democracy in the West and the other is the state with the most freedoms in the Middle East, and perhaps the only real democracy there.

With all the criticism directed at Putin to this day, much of it fair, in four years of war he has not killed any member of the Ukrainian government, let alone Zelensky, whom Russian drones have already gotten close to, as proven by photos. No, Putin is no good man, but even villains have their limits.

The United States has unfortunately become a cruel, individualistic regime, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it is untrustworthy.

When Iran began bombing American bases, instead of being evacuated, the soldiers were instructed to take shelter in expensive hotels in the region, using civilians as human shields.

What has America turned into? Obviously the equally insane Iranian regime would open fire on those hotels, as it did, putting civilian lives at risk.

The U.S. government has turned into the ultimate lie machine regarding a war, editing and falsifying images and numbers, often even contradicting the president's own exaggerations. It is something unimaginable.

This is not to mention the claims from government members that they should occupy Kharg Island, Iran's main oil facility. In fact, the word wouldn't be 'occupy,' but rather 'purloin.

Every American should pay close attention to this foreign policy because it reflects a mentality that, sooner or later, will be practiced at home, putting rights and social peace in check.

Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.

RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
