Phil Stewart @phildstewart - Read how Hegseth used scripture today to negatively portray the media, during a press conference, in the Pentagon briefing room, with reporters sitting in front of him:
"This past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family and our minister preached from the book of Mark. The third scripture. And in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch. And as the scripture reads, they came to see whether he, Jesus, would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might accuse him. You see, the Pharisees, the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time, they were there to witness, to write everything down, to report. But their hearts were hardened. Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn't matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda. As the passage ends, the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel against him, how to destroy him. I sat there in church and I thought, our press are just like these Pharisees. Not all of you. Not all of you. But the legacy Trump-hating press. Your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors. The Pharisees scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation. Only looking for the negative. The hardened hearts of our press are calibrated only to impugn. I would ask you to open your eyes to the goodness, the historic success of our troops, the courage of this president, and this historic moment for a deal that could end the Iranian nuclear threat. The incredible battlefield victory laid before your eyes. The not one, but two incredible, rescue missions -- miracles

The Pillar @PillarCatholic - "There is great continuity between Leo and Francis. There are also differences, especially in character, formation, style, and emphases. We can say that there is continuity in general terms, but their personalities are different, and times also change."
