Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.
Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.
Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.
SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
Grabe. Ang pinakasukdulan talaga ay yung tangang mayabang.
Maipasok lang ang sariling katwiran, gagamitin na ang batas na parang goma — iuunat, pipilipitin, babaluktutin — para lang mapaboto ang katotong pinaghahanap ng hustisya.
Sorry, patola ako ngayon, kasi hindi ko talaga kayang unawain kung bakit tayo nagbabayad ng buwis para paswelduhin ang mga ganito.
Hindi na nga sumusunod sa batas, ipinagyayabang pa ang kamangmangan. Excuse po ba sila sa Constitution? May special lane ba ang katangahan sa Senado?
Indeed, the punishment of wise men is to be ruled by unwise men. Pero marami sila, kaya “men” na rin. Collective noun na yata ang kabobohan.
At kung maiinis kayo dahil kesyo nagmamarunong ako, i-block n’yo na ako. Walang pilitan dito. Hindi ko obligasyong gawing daycare ang wall ko para sa mga allergic sa common sense.
Hindi tayo uunlad sa ganitong klaseng pag-iisip: yung mali na nga, ipinipilit pa; yung batas na nga, ginagawang suggestion; yung accountability na nga, ginagawang favor sa tropa.
Kaya please, trolls at DDS, huwag muna kayong magtambay sa wall ko. Bad trip ako today. 😡
BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal.
.
Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings.
Let that sink in.
Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment.
The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment.
A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution.
Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star.
Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028?
Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical."
Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it."
A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long.
Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term.
A heartbreakingly long silence ensued.
He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language?
More ominous silence.
Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says.
This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent.
The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years.
Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.
Donald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni — and she delivers a fiery speech he’ll never forget.
Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni “an insult to Jesus,” accusing her of “not being woke,” and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for “Don Dementia,” this time he picked the wrong target.
Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didn’t just respond — she delivered a full moral reckoning.
“The President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,” Giorgia Meloni declared. “Do you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only the beginning.
“Do you want to know what else insults Jesus?” she continued. “Deporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.”
Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“Do 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 war… hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment.
Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that “trans children are children of God,” completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” she said. “There was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.”
Then came the line that hit the hardest:
“Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves… 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?”
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 Meloni’s inspiring words.
Today, God wants you to know that you should be gentle with yourself.
When you ask God to forgive you for past mistakes and transgressions, don't forget to forgive yourself.
Today, God wants you to know that it's time to remove everything nonessential in your life.
Paring down to essentials frees up energy and brings simplicity that is necessary for happiness.
In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!
Today, God wants you to know that worshiping God is good for you.
In a world where many things compete for your devotion and worship, God is the only one who delivers and doesn't disappoint. So sing praises, lift your hands in the air, and give glory to God. It's good for you!

Today, God wants you to know that love is effortless.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. Real love is a simple, everyday kind of thing: a smile, a hug, an encouragement. Continuous love without effort.
Today, God wants you to know that if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm.
And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.
Today, God wants you to know that all virtues, when practiced regularly, grow.
Cultivate the virtues of love, kindness, and joy, and you will be rewarded with a life filled with love, kindness, and joy.
Today, God wants you to know that "well done" is always better than "well said."
Actions are deeper than words, and intentions are deeper than actions. Keep focusing on the deepest level of your being; that's the one to which God is listening.
Today, God wants you to know that sometimes being silent is the only way to tell the truth.
In such times, avoid being verbally misunderstood by letting the silence speak through your eyes, your breathing, and your posture.
Today, God wants you to know that when whispers do not get your attention, bricks will be thrown your way.
Don't speed through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. Slow down and be present.
