POPE FRANCIS’S FAMOUS LAST WEEK’S WORDS

Pope Francis’s Pilgrimage to Canada – Where Peter Is

Francis-Biden meeting just latest in long history of pope-U.S. president encounters | Crux (cruxnow.com)

Truth, they say, is the first casualty of war. A journalistic analog might be, “Context is the first casualty of hype.” When you want to bang something like a cheap drum, the first rule is to avoid any context that might make the situation appear more complicated, less straight-forward, than simplistic narratives would suggest.

This weekend has offered a classic example with regard to US President Joe Biden’s keenly anticipated tête-à-tête with Pope Francis.

No help is little and some kids are born with HIV AIDS virus and living on Arvs to survive they can’t take it without food.. Kindly help and Donate :https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MercyForLifeCorp

My name is Jay , and I need your help. I am in heart failure, and have already survived 8 heart attacks. I was abandoned at 8 years old, and raised in fostercare. I was emancipated at 16 when I graduated high school. I have this fundraiser as I have no family to help.

My funds raised are to try to keep permanent housing, and help pay for my medical care, doctors, lab work, medicine, etc. I have survived 8 heart attacks so far, and 2 stent collapses. 4 STEMI 99% blockages in my LAD and Circumflex, known as widowmakers, 2 NSTEMI, and 2 MI. I am in Congestive heart failure, EF 20%. I have my few belongings left. I am doing my best to stay alive. Due to $400,000 in medical debt my credit is destroyed, I am still waiting on SSDI, I have a lawyer but seems to take forever. My goal now is one of my original goals and that is to pay for my broken wisdom tooth extraction, which will require surgery. My tooth keeps getting re-infected, and only thing that can be done is removing it surgically. Tooth infections can cause death if not taken cate of. I cannot take pain meds or any NSAIDS due to the interaction with my heart medications, so am usually in constant pain. Please if able make a donation today.
