This is perhaps the first time Conservative Truth newsletter email has gone out late in around 26 years! But I have a really good reason… (Sorry, Tom!)

Health issues can become more of a concern as we age. Well, I have some of the old “good news, bad news.” It's mostly good news, or good results. But also some concerns. 

I had the third heart ablation done for my A-fib on April 16, last Thursday. It went very well, and I was sent home only hours after coming out of the sedation. I felt great, full of energy. The next day, same thing - I felt really good after the minor surgery. 

But then it hit. Friday evening, I started to feel very short of breath, tight in the chest, and congested. I couldn't hardly move around, very weak, and unable to breathe very well. But it did seem to get a very little better at times. We don't tend to rush to the ER or doctor too quickly. I stayed home and went to bed, able to breathe just enough. Till Sunday morning. Just walking up a flight of stairs was almost impossible. My oxygen levels were running from about 92 down to 83! We talked to a friend who strongly suggested heading into the ER. 

I am currently in the hospital with a mild congestive heart failure, probably triggered in connection to my third heart ablation. It has likely been waiting to appear in the past few weeks, and the surgery set it off. With serious breathing stress, it turns out I had a touch of pneumonia as well as extra fluid around the heart. I was admitted into the hospital on April 19 to relieve excess fluids, have tests, and plan the next phases of treatment. Here on Tuesday evening (4/21), it looks like I will be in the hospital at least another day or two while they try to figure stuff out. 

Here's the good news. The surgery itself went well, and my heart is back in normal rhythm. I was taken off oxygen about 24 hours after admission, with good oxygen levels. I have high hopes that my quick-healing constitution - a gift from God - will continue to help me heal up quickly. I praise God all the while. 

I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Give close attention to your health. God bless you!

The media offers Americans and the world endless speculation about the war in Iran. They debate President Trump's plan. They debate what others are saying, especially our allies like NATO. The endless debate goes all the way to the pope. They ask the cardinals and the pope what they think of the war. It seems like the Pope is not really happy with President Trump or the war in Iran at this point in time.  

I like the way Hal Lambert thinks. The founder and CEO of Point Bridge Capital has emerged to “connect the dots” and reveal a conspiracy by the “American” pope and Barack Hussein Obama to undermine President Trump ahead of the mid-term elections.  

The following are some things I said a month ago at my father’s funeral. I hope this inspires and challenges you. 

On behalf of our whole family, I would like to thank you for honoring Dad with your presence. He would be delighted. Dad was born in Phoenix, Arizona, in May 1924. Yes, you heard that correctly. Dad is a native of Phoenix. Dad’s seen Phoenix grow from 30,000 to 5.5 million people.  

In my opinion, Pope Leo is following the example of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in speaking softly (if at all) against issues such as the LGBTQ agenda and abortion, but turning up the volume against American conservatives who favor a closed border, 2^nd amendment rights, and forceful responses to our enemies when needed. Pope Francis’ willingness to have audiences with the likes of abortion-supporting Catholics Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, and Pope Leo’s audience with Axelrod, show clearly with whom the last two popes align themselves. And we need to be aware of that whenever the pope sounds off on political issues.  

Here we can safely say, not for criticism's sake, but in reality, the Pope is getting a little pompous. It is not because we are not Catholic that we don't side with the Pope. It is because Catholicism often has little to do with the scriptures. It is also not because we know what is going to happen to Rome in the last days. We also know that Catholicism will be no more in the coming kingdom. But we stick with our President because we do know these things, and we do know him and his record, and we're quite proud of him. Being the Pope is one thing, but criticizing our top man is not something we are going to cotton to.

Sorry, Leo, we're going to stand with President Trump.  

Fortunately, after weeks of debating the war in Iran, the Pope decided to change his approach to dealing with President Trump. On Saturday, as he was traveling to Angola, as part of his 10-day trip to Africa, the Pope addressed reporters about President Trump. He said it was “not in my interest at all” to debate the President. He said some of his comments about peace were prepared weeks in advance, “well before the president ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting.”

These comments were a welcome redirection from the ongoing verbal battle with President Trump. Instead, what could be in the Pope’s “interest” is to focus on his primary mission of saving souls, preaching the Gospel, spreading the good works of the Catholic Church, and dealing forthrightly with the sexual abuse scandal involving children and vulnerable adults and the extensive cover-up which lasted for decades.  

American Catholics have to decide whether to stick with their pope or their country. With his recent comments attacking America and President Trump, the Catholic Pope has aligned himself with Iran’s “Death to America” Mullahs and against the Christian Western World. Domestically, it appears that Leo is trying to drag the Catholic Church, the largest religious body in America, into the Democratic Party camp that wants to impeach Trump and remove him from office.  

The Canadian left wants to be inclusive. Did Darwin miss something?
