        Pope Formosus was Pope from 891-896. His successor, Pope Stephen VI , exhumed Formosus in 897 and put him on trial, dressed in papal vestments and seated on a throne. Stephen VI found Formosus guilty of being Pope because he was ineligible. The end of the outrage was that Stephan VI was late…

            Prosecuting Fauci is an affront to justice | New York Daily News

              U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is a medical doctor, an ophthalmologist. But he has an unhealthy obsession with Dr. Anthony Fauci and now has rigged a ridiculous contempt of Congress charge against Fauci, who was the ubiquitous, calming voice of reason during the horrors of the COVID-19 pandemic.

                          Some Republicans are using scare tactics to distract us from becoming aware of the disaster Trump is bringing upon our national monuments. What is already happening to the ‘The White House’ is a disaster, but that is only the beginning! The ‘Triumphant Arch’ Trump wants to build on the Mall …

                            Probably 90% of Americans did not realize what danger we have been in the last 18 months. Trump has declared 9 (NINE!) national emergencies since his second term began.

                              Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                              A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
