The only war I believe was justified was #WorldWarII, which we entered when the Empire of Japan bombed #PearlHarbor. It was a deliberate, unprovoked, and unjust attack on the #UnitedStates against our Navy and the American people. Regarding 9/11, we had the right to respond by bombing Afghanistan.

The country of Iraq did not attack us on 9/11. Dick Cheney and George W. Bush used that to launch a war against them. We attacked them unjustly for oil, and George W. Bush wanted to be a wartime president. because of his insecurities; he knew this would help him get re-elected, and it did.

#Trump, #PeteHegseth, and #JDVance attacked Iran because they are insecure in their lives and minds. Trump wants to be a dictator, and he enjoys hurting, maiming, terrorizing, and killing people. The American people allowed Trump back in the White House, and this is on us. What’s happening in #Iran.

He’s just resting his eyes.

@NadineBabu I couldn’t say it any better myself.

NEW: Aboard the papal flight, Pope Leo XIV said the Iran War is clearly unjust.

Furthermore, he said the just war theory — often used by American conservatives to justify modern conflicts — is no longer applicable today.

His cardinals gather in Rome to debate the topic later this month. https://t.co/SdrNuwbi4s

@NadineBabu I’m thinking maybe five games, and the Spurs are heading to Madison Square Garden. I don’t think the Spurs have the mental toughness to handle a hostile environment. Their body language and expressions show they are beaten and defeated. So I agree with everything you just said.

[Joe LaBelle @RollingJoe77]

Robert Barron is an embarrassment to the #Catholic Church and himself. #TomHoman is full of hate for whatever reason; it’s to his inner core. He needs to be brought up on civil rights violations and possibly murders. I wonder how much money #RobertBarron receives with all his Christian white supremacist bullshit.

He uses the Catholic Church to dispute his hatred. I hope #PopeLeo removes him from his leadership role in the Catholic Church. He’s an embarrassment to all Catholics around the globe. I saw #ice in my home state, #Minnesota, and the city I love so much, #Minneapolis. They are still here committing civil rights and constitutional violations.

[Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Fame coach Rick Adelman.

Adelman served as head coach of the Timberwolves from 2011-14 and exemplified leadership, integrity and professionalism throughout his distinguished career. Serving as head coach for five teams over 23 NBA seasons, he became one of the game’s most respected and accomplished leaders, finishing 10th on the league’s all-time wins list. Adelman made a lasting impact on our organization, his players and the game of basketball.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to wife Mary Kay, the Adelman family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A Bar of Their Own in Minneapolis has been named the country's best local sports bar. A well-deserved honor for this incredible sports bar that celebrates women's sports!

first home dub. 😼

[Nadine Babu @NadineBabu]

This is leadership.

Their turnaround was incredible. Can't forget where they were just 2 years ago. Amazing. Keep on building!!!

[Joe LaBelle @RollingJoe77]

This was well said; that’s why #RobertBarron should be removed from any position of power in the #Catholic Church. I believe #PopeLeo will eventually remove him. When you are as big as the catholic religion, you are going to have issues, and it depends on how they deal with them. I believe they will do the right thing.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

While Donald Trump attacks Pope Leo XIV and ICE raids Catholic parishes, Bishop Robert Barron went on Fox News and named wokeism as the threat to American Catholicism.

He called Democrats “borderline communists” and stayed silent on Iran — even as 2011 footage re-emerged of him attacking Obama for Libya.

Why attack Obama then but not Trump now? Barron has MAGA overlords to please. https://t.co/E5brmpIgpv

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Two months into his pontificate, a man named Robert Prevost picked up the phone from the Vatican and called his bank in South Chicago. He wanted to update the phone number on his account.

The teller asked the standard security questions, and he answered every one of them. Then her screen flagged his file: any further changes had to be made in person, at the branch, with a photo ID.

Coming in person would not be possible, he told her, in the polite tone of a man who knew the answer before he asked the question. The teller apologized.

He paused, then asked: “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?”

She hung up on him. https://t.co/8tmnS3hg62

[Joe LaBelle @RollingJoe77]

How was the woman on the other line supposed to realize it was actually #Pope Leo? It’s not easy or quick to travel from the Vatican to Chicago. Just imagine the calls they get. Can you picture it? How she felt, or the look on her face, if and when she actually discovered it was #Pope Leo. What a great story. #Catholic

[Joe LaBelle @RollingJoe77]

@NadineBabu Yes, we were. Let’s hope the Wolves improve so we can reach the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. and maybe even win the NBA championship in due time.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Mike Johnson wants people struggling with soaring gas prices, rent, and grocery bills to feel bad for members of Congress making “only” $174K a year, getting great healthcare, and taking months of vacation every year, and he’s using that to justify trading stocks while in office.

Totally out of touch

[Joe LaBelle @RollingJoe77]

#MikeJohnson and #TomEmmer dare to ask the American taxpayers to give them a raise for inflation using the money we pay into the federal government. They often get free meals with alcohol, and many of them make 50% returns on stock trades through insider trading. They also get free vehicles with personal drivers.

If the #Republicans can’t manage with all that, I didn’t even mention everything else. They shouldn’t be in charge of America’s finances and the purse. Too many American people think the Republicans support small businesses and the working class, and believe they’re better on the economy, but that's bullshit.

The American people need to stop voting against their own self-interest and America’s best interests. Vote for the #Democrats in every election so we can fix all of this in due time.
