Trust. Be Careful. Who Deserves It.
Only Speak The Truth. Listen.
If U Deceive You Will Not Receive.
Only Fear The Truth When U Aren't Ready To Receive It.
Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at the Verano Cemetery in Rome on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, and recalled that our bond with the dead is not broken but transformed in our faith in Christ.
"We wish to pray now for those who have recently lost a loved one, especially those whose loved ones have been torn from them by the senseless violence of war. May the tears of so many mothers, so many children, and so many elderly people touch the consciences of those who have the power to silence the weapons!"
Only in Canada! 🇨🇦🪵 When a massive fallen tree blocked a highway on October 17, a group of motorists jumped into action to help clear the road. From a man with a chainsaw to kids picking up smaller branches, travellers of all ages pitched in to lend a hand.
BREAKING: Just as a glimmer of hope emerges between the US and Iran, someone starts bombing Iranian radar sites. I suspect Israel.
I posted a few days ago that a glimmer of hope had emerged in the US-Iran talks mediated by Qatar. Over the past few days, progress has increased to the point that sources and officials on all sides have privately expressed a degree of optimism, and both JD Vance and Trump himself did so publicly just a few hours ago.
Then, suddenly, things started to blow up on the Iranian island of Qeshm, as well as near the cities of Bandar Abbas and Ahvaz in southern Iran.
The Iranians tell me that they are certain the attacks were conducted by Israel, and not the US. A senior US source tells me it wasn’t the American side.
I posted last weekend that Israel had breached Iranian airspace. Tehran, however, opted not to respond, suspecting that Israel wanted to goad Iran into a trap by responding harshly, as that could help Netanyahu in the elections and force Trump’s hand in terms of turning to war.
It would be completely in line with a decades-long pattern of Israeli sabotage of US-Iran diplomacy that Netanyahu would begin kinetic action on the eve of a potential breakthrough in US-Iran talks - which incidentally appears to include a Chinese dimension - in order to sabotage it. Israel has opposed every US-Iran deal, including Trump’s MOU from this past summer.

Pope Leo, today
Touched down in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
The Commonwealth encompasses 56 countries and 2.7 billion people — united by shared histories, values, and ambitions.
Working together, we can solve greater challenges and deliver more our citizens.
This is a very delicate topic so I want to approach it carefully and thoughtfully. I’m sure I cannot be the only one that gets messages begging me to help the starving and suffering people of Gaza. If I were as rich as Elon Musk, every single one of them would be saved. Unfortunately, I’m just a single mother with a somewhat limited income as I’ve only been able to work part-time for the last couple of years due to my failing health. I just want everyone to know that although we are not in your place in Gaza, we are in our hearts and it takes an enormous toll of guilt and regret and fear and concern on a daily basis because we actually care deeply about your well-being. If you don’t hear back from me, please don’t be angry and please don’t think that I don’t care because I do. I care deeply and it’s actually taking a toll on me unlike any other stressor that I’ve lived through in my life. To all the other people outside of Gaza, who are reading this, please please please if you can help these starving people who are living under unimaginable bad conditions where they may not live through each day - even if you only send $20 you can make a huge difference please please please join me in helping as much as you can without putting yourself in a financial crisis. We are all in this together. Thank you for letting me say this.💜🙏🤲💜 #HelpSaveGaza
Mark Carney on the rupture with the US: "We're over-dependent on the US, too closely connected to the US. When we look around the world, we see our values most aligned with those of the EU. And in fact, we're very complementary in what our strengths are."
