Pope Francis lambasted leftist gender ideology during an address this week‚ warning that it presented an extreme danger to mankind. He made the remarks while speaking Friday morning to members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV). “It is very important that there is this meeting‚ this meeting between men and women‚ because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology‚ which cancels out differences‚” he said‚ adding that through extreme ideologies like transgenderism‚ the Left is pushing to “make everything the same.” “Erasing differences is erasing humanity. Man and woman‚ however‚ are in a fruitful ‘tension‚’” Francis said. The remarks were similar to comments that he made last March during an interview with journalist Elisabetta Piqué at the Argentinian daily newspaper La Nació. “Gender ideology‚ today‚ is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations‚” Francis said. “Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women. All humanity is the tension of differences. It is to grow through the tension of differences. The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same‚ all dull‚ all alike‚ and that is contrary to the human vocation.” The Pope explained that while he was not planning to write anything extensive on the topic of gender‚ he did find it necessary to address the issue from time to time‚ largely “because some people are a bit naive and believe that it is the way to progress.” He went on to say that he believed it was important to draw a distinction “between what pastoral care is for people who have a different sexual orientation and what gender ideology is … they are two different things.” The problem‚ he said‚ was that advocates of gender ideology were blurring the lines between the sexes — a move that he worried was a step down the road to erasing humanity.

A far-Left protester was thrown to the ground after he confronted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) during an event on Friday and called the senator a “sick f***.” The incident happened at a Harvard Institute of Politics event Friday morning just minutes after multiple leftists interrupted a talk that Manchin was giving at the Harvard Kennedy School because of his support for natural gas pipelines. “Joe Manchin‚ you sold our futures and you’ve gotten rich doing it‚” the protester claimed. “You sick f***. How dare you.” Manchin immediately got up in the protester’s face‚ at which point one of his aides got between the two men. The aide then literally threw the protester out of the room. The protester was apparently from a group called Climate Defiance‚ which posted on X: “We just called Joe Manchin a sick f***. We humiliated him in front of a herd of Harvard elites. He squared up. We held firm. Barbaric murderer‚ hideous fiend‚ he torches humanity and laughs.” Manchin then addressed the other protesters and offered to sit down and talk with them‚ but they refused and declared they were not going anywhere.

After a South Bend‚ IN‚ police officer rescued a dog who wandering the streets with a zip tie around his nose‚ she gave him a forever home. Ofc. Stephanie Northcutt spotted the dog roaming around with a leash and collar around his neck. After some coaxing‚ she convinced him to let her help. He shyly approached Stephanie with his head down low and his tail between his legs. As she petted and consoled him‚ a bystander clipped the tie‚ which was so tight that it left a deep ring around his snout. Facebook You can see bodycam footage of the heartbreaking encounter below. The brown Doberman was reserved‚ but also calm and friendly with Stephanie and the others who had stopped to help. After he was free‚ he and Stephanie bonded‚ and he was visibly appreciative of his hero. Stephanie took the dog to a local animal rescue center where employees and vets ensured he was healthy. The center also helped open an investigation. Ten days later‚ the South Bend Police Department posted a happy ending on Facebook. Stephanie officially adopted the dog‚ whom she named “Zeus.” Facebook “We hope you’ll love this update as much as we do‚” reads the caption. “The dog‚ now named Zeus‚ spent some time bonding with the Northcutt’s other dogs before Officer Northcutt made it official with the folks of South Bend Animal Resource Center – SBARC‚” it continued. “SBARC’s team says Zeus will likely not suffer any long-term physical effects from his injuries and is doing extremely well despite the bad hand he was dealt.” To spread the good vibes Stephanie will be sponsoring two adoption events at SBARC. The department will announce those dates once they’re finalized. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Thousands Turn Out for Navalny's Funeral

On Thursday‚ President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump traveled to Texas towns at the southern border to tout their immigration plans. But the networks and the New York Times podcasters touted Biden's ridiculous claims about being staunch on the border while feeling a need to 'fact check' Trump. ABC anchorman David Muir perfectly summarized the Biden spin as his own take: “President Biden...urging Republicans to reconsider that bipartisan senate border bill‚ killed by Republicans in the house at the urging of Donald Trump. It was considered the strongest bipartisan immigration security plan in years.” CBS reporter Ed O'Keefe spin against Trump. He "continued exploiting a crisis that he couldn’t solve either‚ hoping it’ll put him back in the White House.” The number of border "encounters" has quadrupled‚ and CBS is blurred them together? O'Keefe also complained Trump “sought to falsely connect Biden to the recent murder of a murder of a Georgia nursing student by Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022.” That would be unfair‚ to connect Biden to a death? Interesting‚ since CBS in 2019 was aiding Democrat presidential candidates in connecting a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso to Trump. NBC reporter Gabe Gutierrez used the ten-foot distancing words‚ like Trump assailed “what he calls lax border policies‚” and as he mentioned the Laken Riley murder‚ it was Trump harping on crimes “allegedly committed by migrants.” NBC also cited a study claiming that big cities who have taken in the most illegal immigrants have seen their crime rates decrease. At least NBC noted that 57 percent in a recent poll favored Trump as the candidate to deal with the border‚ and Biden drew only 22 percent.  PBS reporter Laura Barron-Lopez also wanted to "fact check" Trump and claim illegal immigrants are less likely to be criminals than native-born citizens (if you leave out the illegally immigrating part). But she let Biden claim the Senate border deal was "the toughest‚ most efficient‚ most effective border security bill this country has ever seen." It's like they never suggested Trump's border policies were offensively excessive. The New York Times podcast The Daily (which plays on NPR stations across the country) featured host Sabrina Tavernise insisting Trump was "doubling down" on "demagoguery" on the border as he has since 2015. But Biden seeking to blame Trump for the current border crisis‚ she said‚ was like pulling off a "triple Axel" jump in figure skating. We also touch on the latest developments with journalist Catherine Herridge‚ and also Politico's "democracy investigator" Heidi Pryzbyla semi-apologizing for suggesting Christians were weirdos to think their rights and freedoms came from God.  Enjoy the podcast below‚ or wherever you listen to podcasts.   

With ABC‚ CBS‚ and NBC fresh off of their pathetic display of obsequiousness on behalf of President Biden after his 2024 physical‚ they remained affixed to being the apple of the Biden regime’s eye as‚ between Thursday night and Friday morning‚ they hailed Biden demanding the GOP “put border security above politics” and extending an “olive branch” to Donald Trump despite his attempts to continue “exploiting” a crisis. As per NBC’s contention‚ this was despite illegal immigrants posing very little danger (if at all) to the public‚ claiming they’re not a security risk to U.S. cities.     Thursday’s CBS Evening News was‚ quite simply‚ out of control in its partisanship. Anchor Norah O’Donnell hyped Biden as having “issued a political dare to Donald Trump‚ to join him in pressing House Republicans to help secure the border” while Trump “took a much different approach” by “unleashing attacks on Biden‚ Democrats and migrants‚ but not proposing a legislative solution.” White House and campaigns correspondent Ed O’Keefe had what was in-lockstep framing across all three networks of Biden being a workhorse for Americans and Trump being a loudmouth “exploiting a crisis” and “falsely connect[ing]...Biden to the recent murder of a Georgia nursing student by a Venezuelan migrant” (click “expand”): O’KEEFE: After a record number of illegal crossings last year‚ President Biden‚ who toured the border in Brownsville‚ Texas‚ is trying to show he’s addressing an issue that more than 60 percent of voters call a very serious concern. Just hours before the president’s arrival here in Brownsville‚ U.S. Border Patrol and Texas State Police say they stopped people on the other side of the border from bringing across drugs‚ but Chris Cabrera of the Border Patrol said that‚ with the illegal crossings into this part of Texas down recently‚ the President has come too late. CABRERA: But I think the timing’s a little off. I mean‚ if he would have come a year ago‚ two years ago‚ three years ago. O’KEEFE: Trump‚ who visited Eagle Pass more than 300 miles away‚ continued exploiting a crisis that he couldn’t solve either‚ hoping it’ll put him back in the White House. Allies say he’s planning mass deportations and detention camps if elected. Today‚ he sought to falsely connect President Biden to the recent murder of a Georgia nursing student by a Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022. TRUMP: The monster that charged — charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant who was let into our country and released into our communities by crooked Joe Biden. O’KEEFE: The President‚ who didn’t address Trump’s attacks‚ said they should work together. Correspondent Adam Yamaguchi had a second segment along the U.S.-Mexico border in California with a standard sob story narrative about illegals “from countries around the world” “taking the first perilous steps on U.S. soil” and spoke to ones from Brazil and even Mauritania‚ a country in northwest Africa. To the one from Mauritania‚ he fretted: “So‚ right now‚ a lot of Americans would say you shouldn’t be here.” Tossing back to O’Donnell‚ he swelled with pride for these illegals: “Neither the wall‚ nor this rugged‚ punishing terrain is enough to stop the determination of these asylum seekers. This is what policymakers and border officials are up against.” Fortunately‚ Friday’s CBS Mornings saw none of this and instead a pedestrian report from chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes‚ built largely on Biden and Trump soundbites. If ABC’s World News Tonight were a person‚ Team Biden would tell them to back off because they’re too obsessed with pleasing them. Anchor David Muir boasted Thursday that Biden “urg[ed] Republicans to reconsider that bipartisan Senate border bill”‚ which “was considered the strongest bipartisan immigration security plan in years.” “Donald Trump‚ meanwhile‚ in Eagle Pass‚...calling it a very dangerous border‚ saying President Biden is to blame. President Biden with a different approach‚ with an invitation to Donald Trump‚ asking Trump to help urge Republicans to get this done. Biden arguing‚ this is about serving the American people and addressing this issue now‚” a complaint Muir added. Speaking of compliant‚ chief Biden apple polisher Mary Bruce huffed that Biden has had to spend time “confronting a growing challenge” and “political liability” “for his administration and his campaign: Illegal border crossings hitting record highs”. Earth to Mary: This is a crisis for the country‚ not just Ol’ Joe! As she would do on Friday’s Good Morning America‚ she used a Border Patrol union official to try and drive a wedge between them and Trump (click “expand”): BRUCE: Even the conservative Border Patrol union supports the bill. Today in Texas‚ I asked them why. [TO CABRERA] What’s the biggest impact of Washington failing to pass that bill? NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL’s CHRIS CABRERA: The security of our country. BRUCE [TO CABRERA]: Former President Trump urged Republicans not to pass that deal. What did you make of that? CABRERA: Well‚ I mean‚ that’s politics for you. [SCREEN WIPE] Was it a perfect bill? Nah‚ it wasn’t a perfect bill. But it’s better than the status quo what’s going on now. In contrast to Trump railing against Biden‚ Bruce gushed the current President took “a much different strategy‚ urging the former President to put border security above politics to help solve the problem now.” On the aforementioned Friday AM show‚ Bruce had help from co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos‚ who in part framed the border visits this way. “Trump blasted Biden. Biden invited Trump to cooperate on solutions.” Bruce explained this time that Biden went amid “mounting criticism over his handling of the immigration crisis” and used “a new tactic‚ an invitation to Trump to put border security above politics”. Thursday’s NBC Nightly News followed suit from its ABC and CBS competitors by leading off with the border crisis. Anchor Lester Holt also forwarded the White House version of how the two visits were to be viewed: The President calling out House Republicans for sinking a bipartisan border bill and extending an offer to Mr. Trump saying‚ “we can do it together.” The former President blaming Mr. Biden for border chaos‚ calling it a Joe Biden invasion.  Senior White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez also brought up Riley’s murder with Trump “pointing to recent high-profile crimes allegedly committed by migrants”‚ but his most insane moment on both newscasts came when he made this assertion‚ as if to downplay the border surge and inadvertently throw a dagger at the heart of parents who’ve lost loved ones to crimes committed by illegal aliens: “An NBC News review of available crime data shows crime has dipped in cities that received the most migrants.” By the next morning on Today‚ Gutierrez and co-host Hoda Kotb did their part for The Cause‚ repeatedly cheering Biden’s remarks and claims about wanting to address the border crisis an “olive branch”. And‚ like CBS’s Yamaguchi‚ Gutierrez dialed up the proverbial sympathy with viewers‚ hoping to drop their guards when it comes to letting those who came here illegally to go on their merry ways (click “expand”): GUTIERREZ [on NBC Nightly News‚ 02/29/24]: Beyond the political splitscreen‚ desperate migrants in Mexico wait to cross. Here in Brownsville‚ Monica from El Salvador waits for a bus with her three-year-old son. She tells us the journey was hard‚ and that she spent four months waiting in Mexico for an appointment for an initial asylum screening through an app on her phone. Now‚ she’s off to meet family in Houston as the border battle in Washington intensifies. (....) GUTIERREZ [on NBC’s Today‚ 03/01/24]: Here at Brownsville’s bus station‚ we met families heading to Chicago and Houston after they waited months in Mexico for an initial asylum screening‚ booked through an app on their phone. The children were tired‚ the parents were worried. TEAM BROWNSVILLE’s MYRA PAREDES [on NBC’s Today‚ 03/01/24]: These are people's lives. These are people's futures that we are basically playing with or using as a pawn. In no way or form should we ever use that for political gain.

Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey was dealt a severe legal blow on Friday when his former co-defendant in a bribery case pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against the top Democrat. Jose Uribe‚ a New Jersey businessman‚ admitted to seven charges in a Manhattan federal court‚ including honest services wire fraud‚ obstruction of justice‚ tax evasion‚ and conspiracy to commit bribery on Friday. Uribe admitted in court to providing a Mercedez-Benz to Nadine Menendez‚ the senator's wife‚ in exchange for his “using his power and influence as a United States senator to get a favorable outcome and to stop all investigations related to one of my associates.” He faces 95 years in prison for his crimes‚ and he has agreed to forfeit $246‚000 related to those criminal acts. Authorities have accused Menendez and his wife of accepting bribes in the form of cash‚ gold bars‚ and the luxury car in exchange for the senator's influence. Two other businessmen have been charged and have pleaded not guilty. In January‚ Menendez was nailed with superseding charges related to his alleged acceptance of luxury watches in return for his influence to help a New Jersey developer obtain a multimillion-dollar deal with the Qatari government. The previous charges are related to accusations of bribery that benefited the government of Egypt. Menendez has denied all charges against him. He has also resisted calls from his own party to resign from his office‚ including the vociferous criticism from Democrat Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. "We have a colleague in the Senate that's actually done much more sinister kinds of things. He needs to go‚" said Fetterman‚ who was comparing him to a Republican expelled from Congress. "Menendez is really a senator for Egypt‚ not New Jersey." Menendez was previously indicted in a bribery case in 2015 where he was accused of trading political favors for luxury flights‚ vacations‚ and other benefits. A judge declared a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach a verdict‚ and prosecutors later dropped the charges. The 70-year-old Democrat was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006 and has served as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The trial against the Democrat and two remaining co-defendants is scheduled for May. Here's more about the stunning development: Like Blaze News?
