Pope Leo XIV says Western nations need to guarantee the freedom of expression.

The pope gave his "State of the World" speech from the Vatican in Vatican City on Friday and delivered remarks that may agitate some of his more liberal followers.

"It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking," the pope said. "At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it."

DOJ launches criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell



In an extraordinary escalation of a months-long attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve, federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, he confirmed in a statement Sunday night.

The investigation is related to Powell's testimony earlier this year about the multi-year renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings, Powell said in a video message released by the Fed.

But Powell says it's clear the investigation is ultimately part of President Donald Trump's administration's increasingly hostile push to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates.

"This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions -- or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation," Powell said.

In a statement to ABC News, a spokesperson for Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "The Attorney General has instructed her U.S. Attorneys to prioritize investigating any abuse of taxpayer dollars."

We used to ambush the Catholic School kids and maul them with massive snowball volleys. 

We public school kids got out a half hour earlier than the Catholic pussies, so we had time to set up our ambushes.

Thankfully, we only had snow one time in Palm Springs when I lived there....and it was at night.
