Video included Speaking exclusively to RT on Thursday, Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, warned that Finnish lawmakers would be making a “big mistake” if they voted in favor of the bill. The arrival of foreign nuclear weapons in the Nordic country would significantly undermine its own security, according to the senior Russian MP. The relevant military installations on Finnish soil would inevitably end up on Russian strategic forces’ priority target list, Kartapolov predicted.

Le Parlement portugais a adopté une loi interdisant d’installer des drapeaux « idéologiques, partisans ou associatifs » aux façades ou à l’intérieur des bâtiments publics du pays. Cette mesure, qui concerne notamment les drapeaux arc-en-ciel et autres du lobby LGBTQ+, impose à toutes les institutions de retirer tout symbole non officiel dans les 30 jours suivant sa publication. Ce projet de loi, présenté par le CDS-PP (Parti populaire démocrate-chrétien ), a été adopté le vendredi 17 avril lors d’un vote final, avec le soutien du Parti social-démocrate (PSD), du parti souverainiste de droite Chega. Le parti Initiative libérale s’est abstenu et tous les partis de gauche et d’extrême gauche ont voté contre. La nouvelle loi interdit expressément les drapeaux de mouvements idéologiques, partisans ou de protestation, d’associations civiles ou privées (même légalement constituées), de clubs sportifs et de causes temporaires.

Ballroom BLOCKED MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas and Talking Feds host Harry Litman report on Trump’s late night meltdown against a federal judge who once again blocked his unlawful construction of the White House golden ballroom. Subscribe: @TalkingFeds Visit Meidas+ | MeidasTouch Network | Substack for more! It's not unusual for political leaders to repeat themselves publicly. Repetition reinforces ideas and keeps messaging consistent. But there's one topic President Trump can't seem to shake: his plans for a 90,000-square-foot, $400 million privately-funded White House ballroom. A Washington Post analysis (1) found Trump has referenced the ballroom on roughly one-third of the days this year in public remarks or social media posts. That pace puts the project on par with, or in some cases ahead of, mentions of major issues such as healthcare affordability and prescription drug pricing.
Leo XIV Considers Francis a "Great Gift": While flying from Angola to Equatorial Guinea today, Pope Leo XIV commemorated his predecessor, Francis, who died on April 21 last year. Leo XIV alleged that Francis had given "so much" through his words and actions. "He promoted an authentic respect for all men and women, and taught us that we are all brothers and sisters," claimed Leo XIV, adding: "We thank the Lord for the great gift of Francis's life to the Church and the whole world."
On the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ death, Pope Leo XIV remembered him as a leader who gave greatly to the Church through his life, words, and actions.“I would like to remember, on this first anniversary of his death, Pope Francis, who gave so much to the church with his life, his testimony, his words, and his gestures,” Pope Leo said. He recalled how Pope Francis truly lived with “closeness to the poorest, the little ones, the sick, the children, the elderly.”
The Israeli army has stated that it has replaced the crucifix that one of its soldiers defaced in Lebanon. The IDF has expressed deep regret over the incident and is working to ensure that it does not happen again.
Today, Leo XIV commented on the possibility of the next consistory and the creation of new cardinals: 'No decision has yet been made on when new cardinals will be created. We need to consider the issue from a global perspective. We hope that, in the near future — or perhaps a little further down the line — the appointment of a new cardinal for Angola can be considered, and that this will be the case for Africa, and perhaps even for Angola.”
