šØš»š¦POPE FRANCIS LEAVES BEHIND A LASTING LEGACY
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, passed away at 88, leaving an indelible legacy as the 266th pope and one of the most transformative figures in modern Catholic history.
Elected on March 13, 2013, as the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Southern Hemisphere, and the first non-European in over 1,200 years, his 12-year papacy redefined the papacy through humility, compassion, and a bold vision for a more inclusive Church.
A Papacy of Humility and Simplicity
Francis set the tone for his papacy with his choice of name, inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, symbolizing poverty, peace, and care for creation. Rejecting the opulence of the Apostolic Palace, he lived in the modest Casa Santa Marta guesthouse, drove simple cars, and carried his own bags.
His symbolic gestures - washing the feet of prisoners, refugees, and Muslims, embracing the disfigured, and dining with the homeless - captured global attention, earning him the title "People's Pope."
These acts were not mere optics but reflections of his lifelong commitment to the marginalized, rooted in his early years as a priest ministering in Argentinaās slums.
Champion of the Poor and Social Justice
Francisā papacy was defined by his fierce advocacy for the poor and oppressed.
His first apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (2013), critiqued global capitalismās "economy of exclusion," condemning wealth inequality and consumerism.
He called for a "poor Church for the poor," urging Catholics to prioritize social justice.
His visits to conflict zones like South Sudan, Iraq, and the Central African Republic highlighted his commitment to peacebuilding, while his outreach to refugees - personally welcoming Syrians to Rome - challenged xenophobia.
In 2015, he declared the Year of Mercy, emphasizing forgiveness and outreach to the marginalized, including prisoners and the divorced.

š®š¶IRAQ MILITIAS READY TO DISARM UNDER TRUMP PRESSURE
Iran-backed militias in Iraq say theyāre ready to disarm to avoid a direct clash with the U.S.
Facing private warnings from Trump officials, Baghdad is in advanced talks with key factions, including Kataib Hezbollah and Nujabaa, to dismantle or integrate them into the national army.
āWe know Trump is ready to escalate,ā said one masked commander ā Iranās IRGC has reportedly given the green light for tactical retreats to avoid strikes.
The shift marks a rare break in years of defiance, as Iraq tries to balance ties with both Washington and Tehran during rising regional tensions.

šØ šŗšø IRONICALLY NAMED: HOW THE "INSTITUTE OF PEACE" FUNDED AMERICA'S ENEMIES
The Department of Government Efficiency's discovery at the United States Institute of Peace reveals Washington's dirty secret: agencies often do precisely the opposite of their stated mission.
When DOGE investigators finally gained access to USIP's booksāafter days of institutional resistance requiring FBI interventionāthey uncovered the unthinkable: $132,000 funneled to a former Taliban member and $1.3 million to an Iraqi organization with questionable ties.
This fits a devastating pattern. A 2019 Special Inspector General report found $19 billion in U.S. aid to Afghanistan was unaccounted for or misused between 2002-2016, showing how routinely taxpayer money flows to our adversaries under noble pretenses.
Even more disturbing was the attempted cover-up. USIP officials deleted a terabyte of financial data hoping to hide their tracks, not realizing DOGE's technological capabilities would recover everythingāa perfect example of the 65% of federal agencies still using outdated IT systems vulnerable to mismanagement.
America ranks a dismal 27th in global transparency rankings, behind much smaller nations. From the Pentagon's $125 billion in administrative waste to the IRS's $1.2 billion in improper payments, the pattern is undeniable.
Elon's technology-driven audits are precisely what these institutions fear mostāsunlight on decades of deception.
