A high school principal in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, was shot in the leg while confronting a former student who entered the school with a gun, authorities say. Principal Kirk Moore and other staff moved quickly when they spotted the armed man in the lobby, and their actions prevented injuries to students — no students were hurt, and the suspect was taken into custody. Officials, including the governor, praised Moore’s bravery and noted his prompt actions helped keep others safe. Moore is now in stable condition and expected to recover.

Pope Leo XIV delivers a sharp moral warning to Trump: God does not hear the prayers of warmongers + On Palm Sunday, Pope Leo XIV used his address to condemn the U.S.-led war in Iran, declaring that God refuses to hear the prayers of those whose hands are stained with blood. Speaking to thousands of worshipers, he invoked the prophet Isaiah and reminded the faithful that Jesus is the King of Peace, who rejects war and cannot be used to justify violence. He urged leaders and military figures to examine their conscience and reflect on the human cost of conflict. The pontiff's remarks come amid reports that some U.S. military commanders have told troops the offensive against Iran is part of "God's divine plan," even invoking Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ as a recruitment tool. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly prayed for the military to use "overwhelming violence" during a Pentagon Christian worship service. Pope Leo condemned these actions and highlighted the suffering caused by the war, which has claimed over 2,500 lives, including at least 13 American service members, and resulted in the deaths of Lebanese journalists. By addressing the moral and spiritual responsibility of those waging war, Pope Leo XIV positioned himself as a leading voice demanding peace. He called for a ceasefire, grief for the crucified humanity, and urged warmongers to lay down weapons and recognize the shared value of human life. His message resonates globally as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate and civilians bear the heaviest toll.

We have a president who's not only crazy, he's a dark, dark presence."

He criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, saying: "Six months, he's almost destroyed our country." Gere, known for films like Pretty Woman, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Chicago, also called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down, stating that he and "all the enablers in the coalition" cannot change. Having moved to Spain in 2024 to be with his wife Alejandra Silva, Gere has been outspoken about politics, previously describing Trump as "a bully and a thug" and warning the U.S. was "in a very dark place." #RichardGere #HollywoodSpeaks #TrumpCriticism #USPolitics #GlobalNews #BreakingNews #CelebrityCommentary #BenjaminNetanyahu #PoliticalVoices #OpenArmsCharity

According to a report by The Free Press, Pentagon official Elbridge Colby reportedly threatened a Vatican representative over remarks made by Pope Leo XIV regarding the war in Iran. Colby allegedly stated: “The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.” The article references historical parallels, including the Avignon papacy, when Pope Boniface VIII was kidnapped by the French monarchy and later died due to the harsh conditions of his captivity. Following the incident, the Vatican expressed concern, and Pope Leo XIV canceled a planned U.S. visit. The White House has denied the report, claiming that the Free Press’s portrayal of the meeting was “highly exaggerated and distorted.” #USPolitics #VaticanNews #Pentagon #PopeLeoXIV #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #GlobalAffairs #WhiteHouse #Controversy
