Pope Francis gave President Trump a copy of his 2015 encyclical calling for urgent, drastic cuts in fossil-fuel emissions after a half-hour meeting in his private study

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:5,6 (KJV)

If Pope Francis was a Bible believing Christian, he would have spoke to President Trump about his soul and his eternal destiny. If Pope Francis was a Bible believing Christian, he would have given him the gospel of the grace of God as first preached by the apostle Paul. But Pope Francis is neither a Bible believer nor a Christian, so what is he? He is a king over the country of Vatican City, and when the president arrived he did what any other worldly king would do. He talked politics, and the gospel of Climate Change in particular.

Pope Francis joined an international chorus urging Donald Trump to meet U.S. commitments on climate change in talks at the Vatican Wednesday

Pope Francis gave President Trump a copy of his 2015 encyclical calling for urgent, drastic cuts in fossil-fuel emissions after a half-hour meeting in his private study.

Francis’s choice of gift suggests he is adding his voice to those pressing Trump not to renege on the Paris accord, which is the cornerstone of global efforts to limit climate change. The Vatican said in a statement that the talks focused on international affairs and the promotion of peace, with particular emphasis on health care, education and immigration.

10 Things You May Not Know About the Vatican

The Vatican and Vatican City are many things to many people, but God has a rather unique name for it. The Bible calls the Roman Catholic Vatican system the “Whore of Babylon”, and describes her in graphic detail in Revelation 17 and 18 in your King James Bible.

So here are 10 fun facts that you should know about the “mother of harlots” that is the Vatican.

  • 1. Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head. The Vatican mints its own euros, prints its own stamps, issues passports and license plates, operates media outlets and has its own flag and anthem. One government function it lacks: taxation. Museum admission fees, stamp and souvenir sales, and contributions generate the Vatican’s revenue.
  • 2. St. Peter’s Basilica sits atop a city of the dead, including its namesake’s tomb. A Roman necropolis stood on Vatican Hill in pagan times. When a great fire leveled much of Rome in A.D. 64, Emperor Nero, seeking to shift blame from himself, accused the Christians of starting the blaze. He executed them by burning them at the stake, tearing them apart with wild beasts and crucifying them. Among those crucified was St. Peter—disciple of Jesus Christ, leader of the Apostles and the first bishop of Rome—who was supposedly buried in a shallow grave on Vatican Hill. By the fourth century and official recognition of the Christian religion in Rome, Emperor Constantine began construction of the original basilica atop the ancient burial ground with what was believed to be the tomb of St. Peter at its center. The present basilica, built starting in the 1500s, sits over a maze of catacombs and St. Peter’s suspected grave.
  • 3. Caligula captured the obelisk that stands in St. Peter’s Square. Roman Emperor Caligula built a small circus in his mother’s gardens at the base of Vatican Hill where charioteers trained and where Nero is thought to have martyred the Christians. To crown the center of the amphitheater, Caligula had his forces transport from Egypt a pylon that had originally stood in Heliopolis. The obelisk, made of a single piece of red granite weighing more than 350 tons, was erected for an Egyptian pharaoh more than 3,000 years ago. In 1586 it was moved to its present location in St. Peter’s Square, where it does double duty as a giant sundial.
  • 4. For nearly 60 years in the 1800s and 1900s, popes refused to leave the Vatican. Popes ruled over a collection of sovereign Papal States throughout central Italy until the country was unified in 1870. The new secular government had seized all the land of the Papal States with the exception of the small patch of the Vatican, and a cold war of sorts then broke out between the church and the Italian government. Popes refused to recognize the authority of the Kingdom of Italy, and the Vatican remained beyond Italian national control. Pope Pius IX proclaimed himself a “prisoner of the Vatican,” and for almost 60 years popes refused to leave the Vatican and submit to the authority of the Italian government. When Italian troops were present in St. Peter’s Square, popes even refused to give blessings or appear from the balcony overlooking the public space.
  • 5. Benito Mussolini signed Vatican City into existence. The dispute between the Italian government and the Catholic Church ended in 1929 with the signing of the Lateran Pacts, which allowed the Vatican to exist as its own sovereign state and compensated the church $92 million (more than $1 billion in today’s money) for the Papal States. The Vatican used the payment as seed money to re-grow its coffers. Mussolini, the head of the Italian government, signed the treaty on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III.
  • 6. Popes did not live at the Vatican until the 14th century. Even after the construction of the original St. Peter’s Basilica, popes lived principally at the Lateran Palace across Rome. They even left the city altogether in 1309 when the papal court moved to Avignon, France, after King Philip IV arranged for a French cardinal to be elected pope. Seven popes, all French, ruled from Avignon, and the papacy did not return to Rome until 1377, by which time the Lateran Palace had burned and the Vatican started to be used as a papal residence. Much repair work needed to be done, however, because the Vatican had fallen into such disrepair that wolves dug for bodies in the cemetery and cows even wandered the basilica.
  • 7. The Swiss Guard was hired as a mercenary force. The Swiss Guard, recognizable by its armor and colorful Renaissance-era uniforms, has been protecting the pontiff since 1506. That’s when Pope Julius II, following in the footsteps of many European courts of the time, hired one of the Swiss mercenary forces for his personal protection. The Swiss Guard’s role in Vatican City is strictly to protect the safety of the pope. Although the world’s smallest standing army appears to be strictly ceremonial, its soldiers are extensively trained and highly skilled marksmen. And, yes, the force is entirely comprised of Swiss citizens.
  • 8. At several times during the Vatican’s history, popes escaped through a secret passageway. In 1277, a half-mile-long elevated covered passageway, the Passetto di Borgo, was constructed to link the Vatican with the fortified Castel Sant’Angelo on the banks of the Tiber River. It served as an escape route for popes, most notably in 1527 when it likely saved the life of Pope Clement VII during the sack of Rome. As the forces of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V rampaged through the city and murdered priests and nuns, the Swiss Guard held back the enemy long enough to allow Clement to safely reach the Castel Sant’Angelo, although 147 of the pope’s forces lost their lives in the battle.
  • 9. The majority of Vatican City’s 600 citizens live abroad. As of 2011, the number of people with Vatican citizenship totaled 594. That number included 71 cardinals, 109 members of the Swiss Guard, 51 members of the clergy and one nun inside the Vatican walls. The largest group of citizens, however, was the 307 members of the clergy in diplomatic positions around the world. With Benedict XVI residing as a pope emeritus in the Vatican, the population will increase by one when a new pope is named.
  • 10. The Vatican Observatory owns a telescope in Arizona. As Rome expanded, light pollution from the city made it increasingly difficult for astronomers at the Vatican Observatory—located 15 miles from the city at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo—to view the night skies, so in 1981 the observatory opened a second research center in Tucson, Arizona. The Vatican conducts astronomical research with a state-of-the-art telescope that sits atop Mount Graham in southeast Arizona.

Walmart Becomes Latest Major Corporation To Rollback DEI Policies As Trump Landslide Win Already Reversing The Tide Of Obama-Era Wokeness

walmart-latest-company-to-roll-back-dei-diversity-equity-inclusion-policies-end-to-wokeness
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, joining a growing list of major corporations that have done the same after Donald Trump win. Woke is dead, and that’s good.

This Thanksgiving, one of the things you can be thankful for is that it looks like many of the woke policies put in place by Barack and Michelle Obama, and kept in place by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, just might finally be coming to an end. Policies like DEI hiring that mandates that a person get a job based, not on merit and qualifications, but on skin color and gender identity. Walmart is just one of many major corporations to begin rolling back the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies they were forced to enact. This is happening because Donald Trump just won in a landslide. Winning is good.

“And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.” Mark 5:9 (KJB)

America is a diverse nation, and to a large degree, that diversity is our strength. But that only applies when talking about organic diversity as it is naturally found amongst our people. The artificial diversity created by the DEI and pronouns crowd is demonic in nature, and gives power to the most base elements of our society. Biological men do not belong in the ladies room, transgenders do not belong on the battlefield, and who wants their pilot or surgeon to hold those positions by virtue of their gender identity? So kudos to Walmart, as well as Toyota, Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, John Deere and other corporations who are voting for a return of sanity. The incoming Trump era is already bearing fruit, and that’s a lot to be thankful for. Now go out and tell lost people about salvation in Jesus Christ.

Walmart the latest big corporation to scale back DEI policies after pressure from conservative activists

FROM CBS NEWS: The changes, confirmed by Walmart on Monday, are sweeping and include everything from not renewing a five-year commitment for an equity racial center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd to pulling out of a prominent gay rights index. And when it comes to race or gender, Walmart won’t be giving priority treatment to suppliers.

Walmart’s moves underscore the increasing pressure faced by corporate America as it continues to navigate the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2023 ending affirmative action in college admissions. Emboldened by that decision, conservative groups have filed lawsuits making similar arguments about corporations, targeting workplace initiatives such as diversity programs and hiring practices that prioritize historically marginalized groups.

Separately, conservative political commentator and activist Robby Starbuck has been going after corporate DEI policies, calling out individual companies on the social media platform X. Several of those companies have subsequently announced that they are pulling back their initiatives, including Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Harley-Davidson.

But Walmart, which employs 1.6 million workers in the U.S., is the largest one to do so.

“This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America,” Starbuck wrote on X, adding that he’d been in conversation with Walmart.

Walmart confirmed to The Associated Press that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don’t feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors. That would include chest binders intended for youths who are going through a gender change, the company said. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer will also be reviewing grants to Pride events to make sure it isn’t financially supporting sexualized content that may be unsuitable for kids. For example, the company wants to makes sure a family pavilion isn’t next to a drag show at a Pride event, the company said.

Additionally, Walmart will no longer consider race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts. The company said it didn’t have quotas and won’t do so going forward. It won’t be gathering demographic data when determining financing eligibility for those grants.

The changes come soon after an election win by former President Donald Trump, who’s criticized DEI initiatives and surrounded himself with conservatives who hold similar views, including his former adviser Stephen Miller, who leads a group called America First Legal that has challenged corporate DEI policies. Trump named Miller to be the deputy chief of policy in his new administration. READ MORE

The American People Voted To Repeal Wokeism, Abortion, Transgender Tyranny, DEI, Inflation, Open Borders And The Entire Main Stream Media

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America voted for America last Tuesday night, and rejected the radical woke agenda offered by Kamala Harris and the Democrat machine, but what comes now?

Last Tuesday night, the American people voted across the board to rid our nation of about a half-dozen things that no one wanted. Voters said with their ballots that they were tired of a bad economy with high inflation, tired of open borders and the endless procession of illegals flooding our states, and tired of the Obama Transgender Manifesto that sought to elevate the perceived needs of a resounding minority above and beyond the needs of the majority. The best part? Donald Trump was handed his landslide mandate by a wonderful coalition of blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and yes, even LGBT voters. In short, America voted for America, and America won, but how long can we hang on to it?

“Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.” Psalm 9:20 (KJB)

So the question is, having received the a generational drubbing at the polls, has the Democratic Left actually learned anything at all about what the people want? It would appear they have not. America is now, and has always been, a very diverse nation, but people inherently understand that going to far to either extreme invites disaster. Much of how the Left is reacting right now is more in line with mental illness than it is with good old voter dissatisfaction. Reactions like women shaving their heads on social media, endless videos of Democrats dissolving into hysterical weeping and cries of ‘racism and misogyny’ because Hispanics and blacks ‘didn’t want a mixed race woman’.

What they didn’t want, and what a majority of America didn’t want, was a puffed-up media creation candidate who ran on promising to fix all the things she helped break for the past 4 years. On top of that, the Democrats ran a vice presidential candidate who literally skipped and pranced while blowing kisses around the podium at rallies like Richard Simmons. It was truly a clown show, and America was not buying.

America said no to the radical woke agenda offered by the Democrats, and signaled a desire to return to a time when people had more common sense, protected children instead of indoctrinating them, and rewarded workers based not on their color of their skin, or gender, but on their own merits, efforts and hard work. But make no mistake about it, we are still living in the last days, and we are still a nation that rejects God if you use any sort of a biblical standard. Perilous times lay ahead, and Trump’s mandate will be thwarted by the Democrats every chance they get. Things are exactly as you would expect them to be here on Day 1,702 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and there remains much work to be done for the LORD. It is up to us who are saved to step up to the plate. Now. TO THE FIGHT!!!

After An Overwhelming And Decisive Election Day Win, George Soros Funded Pro-Palestinian Anti-Trump Protests Erupt Across Several Democrat Cities

In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Donald Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.

When Americans went to the polls on Tuesday, they voted across the board in favor of the platform that Donald Trump campaigned for president on, decisively and overwhelmingly. Trump won the Electoral College vote, the Popular vote, he won in the House, in the Senate and in the governors races. The American people not only voted him in in a landslide, they gave him a clear mandate to enact key Trump agenda items like immigration control and reform. Thousands of George Soros funded Pro-Palestinian agitators don’t see it that way, and last night in Chicago and Philadelphia, they took to the streets calling for an end of the nascent Trump presidency that won’t even begin until January 21st, 2025.

“Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.” Isaiah 14:31 (KJB)

America is a nation of immigrants, and that is part of our strength. My dad’s family arrived here in 1732 from Germany by way of Holland and France, and my mom’s family arrived on a boat from Scotland at Ellis Island in 1922. Legal immigration is good and necessary in order to maintain our super-sized nation with the workforce needed to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. George Soros, and now his son Alex Soros, spend tens of millions of dollars per year to flood our streets with political agitators like the ones in our story today. Soros and the Democrats are the ones keeping racism alive, fomenting hatred and causing division. Donald Trump stands for American sovereignty over our borders, and they hate him for that. Donald Trump supports the Jewish state of Israel, and they hate him for that, too.

Palestinian advocates protest in Chicago after Trump win, immigration rights advocates also worry

FROM CBS NEWS: President-elect Donald Trump won more votes in Illinois this general election than he did in either of the two previous elections in which he ran. Immigration and the economy are two key issues that got people to the polls this election—and ultimately led to a victory for Trump nationwide.

In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.

“Our issues are with both parties,” said Hatem Abudayyeh of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “Both parties support Israel unequivocally.”

Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed with key parts of the Democratic coalition, while Trump made some inroads. Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this outcome if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued.

“They are not going to be able to take for granted the people that are represented here, the movements that are represented here,” said Abudayyeh.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Trump, calling his victory history’s greatest comeback. And despite campaign threats of mass deportations, Trump won 45% of the Latino vote—a double-digit increase from 2020.

“The fear factor and the rhetoric, you know, is real,” said Lawrence Benito of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Benito said his organization is ready to respond. “Obviously, we reject mass deportation agenda, and we’re going to continue to fight back,” said Benito. READ MORE

Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this out come if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued. Meanwhile, as Charlie De Mar reports, immigrants’ rights advocates are also concerned about what will happen in the new Trump administration.
