'Catholic'Joy Behar worried a "conservative guy" will succeed Pope Francis

The woke brigade on “The View” is at it again, clutching their pearls over the death of Pope Francis and fretting about the Catholic Church possibly—gasp—veering back to its traditional roots. You know, the Catholic Church kind of roots where killing babies is a sin and Jesus isn't gay.

Joy Behar, never one to miss a chance to flog her progressive dogma, had this to say about the late Pontiff’s passing on Tuesday: “I wonder because there might be a backlash against how good he was and how much humility he had compared to some of the leaders in this world right now, so there might be a backlash to it, and they’ll get some conservative guy in there who, you know, is anti-gay and everything else.”

Pope Francis, the Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, died Monday morning, according to Vatican camerlengo Cardinal Kevin Farrell. His funeral’s slated for Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Peter’s Square, where the global elite will no doubt gather to mourn their favorite left-leaning cleric.

Behar’s co-host, the not so Sunny Hostin, chimed in with her own sanctimonious take, pining for a Francis clone to keep the Church on its progressive glide path. She waxed poetic about her personal struggles with Catholicism, citing the Church’s sex scandals and its stance on the LGBTQ+ crowd. 

“I’ve struggled with being a Catholic, but this pope changed things for me,” Hostin said. “I remember I was having this discussion with you, Joy, about how I feel like there’s a crisis of empathy in this country, that unless it happens to you, you can’t feel the empathy of it happening to somebody else. They’re going to deport that person. It’s not going to affect my family, so I don’t care that it’s affecting others.”

Hostin then gushed over a “60 Minutes” interview with Francis, quoting him like he’s the second coming of MLK: “We have to get over our hearts to feel again. We cannot remain indifferent in the face of such human dramas. The globalization of indifference is a very ugly disease.” She tacked on her own predictable two cents, declaring that this “globalization of indifference” is a condition “this country is suffering from.” Cue the violins.

Let’s cut through the sanctimony. Behar and her woke posse on “The View” are terrified that the Church might actually elect a Pope who doesn’t kowtow to their progressive checklist. They loved Francis because he was their guy—a Pontiff who gave a wink and a nod to their agenda while soft-pedaling centuries of doctrine. The thought of a “conservative guy” taking the throne of St. Peter sends them into hysterics, as if orthodoxy is some kind of hate crime. 

Meanwhile, these same champions of “empathy” stay mum about the brutal treatment of gays and women in certain Muslim-majority countries. Funny how their moral outrage has a selective mute button. It reminds me of how the so called rule of law is only legitimate when it comes to applying it to conservatives, but not, for example, to leftist judges who break it.

And then there’s their obsession with open borders, which they dress up as compassion but refuse to square with reality. 

The oxymoronically named Joy and Sunny will lecture you about America’s “crisis of empathy” while ignoring the victims of illegal immigration—folks who’ve paid in blood for the Biden administration’s open-door clusterfrack. They’ll shed crocodile tears for migrants but won’t spare a thought for the citizens murdered, assaulted, or displaced by the chaos their policies enable. 

National security? Rule of law? Those are just inconvenient details to these bleeding hearts. They’re too busy preaching “empathy” to notice the jihadists, drug lords, and human traffickers waltzing through our porous borders when Biden was our alleged POTUS.

The irony is thick. Behar and her ilk cheered Pope Francis for steering the Church toward their woke utopia, where dogma bends to ideology and borders are just lines on a map. Now they’re panicking at the thought of a Pope who might actually believe in, you know, Catholicism. 

Their hypocrisy is as blatant as their blind spots. They demand the Church mirror their politics while ignoring the carnage their ideas unleash. If they want to talk about a “crisis of empathy,” they should look in the mirror, hoping it doesn't crack.

Illegal alien murders woman on her 21st birthday in upstate Airbnb: dumped her body in woods

An illegal immigrant confessed to strangling a 21-year-old woman on her birthday in an upstate New York Airbnb, then carrying her body past a police car before burying her in the woods.

Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis, a 21-year-old from Ecuador, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a Syracuse courtroom on Tuesday for the brutal killing of Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza on June 18, prosecutors said on Thursday.

"Chilling surveillance video captured the killer and his victim walking into the Syracuse Airbnb home, and walking out later with Toaquiza’s body slung over his shoulder — as the cruiser drove by."

Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza was celebrating her 21st birthday when she was killed by a man who took advantage of the Biden administration's open borders.

Syracuse police confirmed that the vehicle seen in the video was one of theirs but declined to provide further comment.

Police stated that Chacaguasay-Ilbis took Toaquiza's body to Lincoln Park and buried her in a shallow grave before leaving the area.

Authorities noted that Toaquiza and Chacaguasay-Ilbis knew each other since childhood in Ecuador.

Chacaguasay-Ilbis surrendered to the police days later and was charged with her murder.

According to sources from Homeland Security, the killer entered the US illegally in El Paso in January 2023 but was released due to a lack of detention space. Toaquiza, who had been in elementary school with Chacaguasay-Ilbis in Ecuador, crossed the border illegally in Lukeville, Arizona, a few months later on June 19, 2023.

"She told border agents she was fleeing an abusive lover in her native country, but it is unclear if her eventual killer is that person," the sources said.

"Chilling surveillance video shows Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis carrying the body of Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza from a Syracuse Airbnb on June 18."

"Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis, 21, pleaded guilty this week to the murder of 21-year-old Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza."

Toaquiza had an asylum court hearing scheduled but was killed before that could happen.

The police reported that Chacaguasay used a ligature to strangle Toaquiza to death.

In court, he admitted to second-degree murder and concealing a corpse, and he is expected to receive a sentence of 22 years to life, which is three years less than the maximum, on February 14.

Joe Biden goes drug-free in PA and it showed

During his State of the Union speech, which lasted over an hour, President-esque Joe Biden may have blinked a total of 20 times or so. Although he mush-mouthed most of the words and trailed off his sentences with a sound, he was able to get through it without falling asleep, crapping his pants, tripping on something, or saying something racist. He was even able to stay up past his bedtime.

He was probably on drugs, maybe Adderall, but who knows. At least he was able to read the words that his handler put in the teleprompter without trailing off with his signature, "Anyway . . ." 

Of course he called Laken Riley, a murdered victim of an illegal immigrant, "Lincoln Riley," but that's only because he isn't familiar with what happened and it's only one case out of thousands who have been killed due to Biden's policy of open borders.

However, in a follow up speech in Pennsylvania, it was obvious the drugs had worn off and Joe was back to being his old, very old self.

No, he didn't think Kamala Harris was the President or anything so clearly coming from the foggy area of his brain. Instead he asked the good people of the Keystone State to bring him back to Congress and more.

He bragged about how he grew the national debt. "We added more to the national debt than any president in his term in all of history!” Congrats, Joey. Learn what those sounds mean coming across your dentures.

Biden's SOTU was the most hateful, divisive, partisan speeches ever made in the SOTU. He sounded like an old man fired up about someone who let their dog do their business on his lawn. He didn't mention the border problems, crime, the October 7 atrocities, and he even got the month of the so called insurrection (which it wasn't) of January 6th wrong, saying "July 6th," because even on drugs, you can't get a good dementia sufferer down.

Las Vegas stabbing spree suspect is illegal alien with criminal record

The illegal alien charged with fatally stabbing two people and wounding six others along the Las Vegas strip also has a criminal record in California.

Yoni Barrios, 32, came into the US illegally and is a Guatemalan national, an ICE source confirmed to Fox News.

The scumbag is charged with two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon, and six counts of attempted murder. He appeared in court for the first time on Friday. Nevada law still has the death penalty in murder cases, but it would be a miracle if it gets carried out. For now, however, he will remain in custody.

The senseless deadly stabbing spree began 11:42 a.m. local time on Thursday on South Las Vegas Boulevard, near the Wynn Las Vegas and the Resorts World Casino.

Barrios reportedly asked a group of women dressed as Vegas showgirls to take a photo with him holding a knife. They declined and he flipped out and attacked them. He told the cops that he “thought the women were laughing at him and making fun of his clothing.”

Well there you have it--he was angry because he thought the girls were making fun of his clothing and laughing at him. You might have thought he didn't have a good reason but now you know why he went berserk.

After the initial attack he ran and attacked more innocent victims, killing Brent Allan Hallet, 47, with a "large knife with a long blade," police said. Some people who witnessed the attack followed him and called 911.

Anyway, we can thank the Biden administration for allowing the inundation of illegal aliens into the country for what they believe will be a Democrat voting bloc for years to come. Biden should be impeached or removed from office on Article 25.

Biden will close gaps in wall now that Dems are worried about midterm elections

Alleged President Joe Biden is going to "do a Trump" by filling in the gaps in certain areas of the former president 's border wall along the U.S. southern border. It seems that the illegal immigrants are now showing up in Democratic-run cities, including Washington, D.C., and it's causing the mayors of these towns great consternation. 

The Associated Press noted that Biden “pledged during his campaign to cease all future wall construction,” as he wanted to undo everything Trump did because it was Trump who did it. However, now that the midterm elections are closing in, and illegal aliens are pouring into Democratic cities, the left is running scared and must stem the flow of migrants who want handouts from the taxpayers.

Controversial Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a George Soros pick, reluctantly authorized the project that will close four massive gaps in the border wall near Yuma, Arizona, which has been decimated by Biden’s border crisis.

The reason for closing the gaps are purely political. For example, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is up for re-election and he has no chance because of the decisions his party has made at the expense of the American people.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) basically told Washington, D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser to pound sand Thursday afternoon when she complained that Texas was flooding her city with illegal aliens.

“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire, and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention,” Bowser wrote in requesting help from the National Guard.

But Bowser never called in the National Guard when Black Lives Matter and Antifa were burning down the city during the George Floyd riots.

“We’ve had a number of discussions,” Bowser said. “We’ve facilitated FEMA’s involvement with a million dollar grant that has now been increased to work with a lead nonprofit agency. We’ve facilitated using those grant funds to set up respite center in a neighboring jurisdiction and I’ve also asked the Secretary of the Army to deploy the D.C. National Guard to help lead that effort.”

Abbott responded on Twitter, writing: “D.C. is experiencing a fraction of the disastrous impact the border crisis has caused Texas.”

“Mayor Bowser should stop attacking Texas for securing the border & demand Joe Biden do his job,” Abbott added.

Bowser said in her letter that she expects the “crisis” in D.C., a term that Democrats have resisted using when talking about Biden’s border crisis, “to escalate.” “The number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we expect to only go up, we need to make sure that there is a national response, not an ad hoc city by city, state by state response,” she continued.

Gee, I wonder how this immigration crisis started in the first place.

Abbott spokesperson Renae Eze told The Washington Examiner that Washington, D.C., which is overwhelmingly Democrat, “finally understands what Texans have been dealing with every single day, as our communities are overrun and overwhelmed by thousands of illegal immigrants thanks to President Biden’s open border policies.”

Over the past three months, more than 150 buses have transported over 4,000 migrants to D.C. from Arizona and Texas. They weren't forced to go there, just as they aren't forced to go back home. But given the opportunity, the migrants elected to go to D.C. and were assisted in their endeavors.

And now New York City is getting what they deserve too as Mayor Eric Adams, who endorsed illegal immigration and open borders, is receiving the human results of that sentiment.
