Pope Leo XIV Wants to End All Wars Everywhere
I propose asking elected officials, news organizations and everybody else to end war. Since Pope Leo made his announcement, it is a good time to take him up on his request.

Frustrations with the Political Situation in the US
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich talks about the political situation. The Republican Party is a cult.
