New in PN: Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away

Time to watch The Mission again
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

🇮🇱 Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “There’s a business plan on Trump’s table to turn Gaza into a real estate bonanza.
We paid a lot of money for this war. Now we need to divide how we make a percentage. We did the demolition phase. Now we build. It’s much cheaper.”

Going back to 1998 to explain that in 27 years "Should the sidekick on Win Ben Stein's Money have a network TV show?" will be the most hotly-discussed political issue of the day because President Donald Trump used the assassination of a right-wing podcaster as a pretext for abusing federal power.

Eros (an Indian film production company) is taking a 12 year old Bollywood movie that was originally a tragedy and using AI to alter the ending into a happy one and rereleasing it into theaters. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they didn’t tell the director they were doing it?? This is fucking awful??
