It remains the least-known historical event of the 20th century: a president and a Pope who combine deep faith with political acumen and high-octane star power to help end the Cold War.

And the incredible story of how President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II joined forces to change the world is now a riveting documentary — "The Divine Plan" — to be aired Wednesday, Oct. 25, on Newsmax2.

In "The Divine Plan," award-winning writer-director Robert Orlando takes an in-depth look at the pivotal bond that formed between America's 40th commander in chief and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

“”””Lets not forget Maggie Thatcher””””

We should also not forget that Reagan was the man who had been working on this for much of his life and that it is what probably gave him much of the drive to become President, Reagan recruited and capitalized on help and was lucky to have that Pope and Margeret Thatcher, and even eventually got Russian leader number 4-Gorbachev, but Reagan was the driving force that defeated Russia.

Without Reagan, who knows what the world would be like now?

For those of us who thought the Russians would move in 1984, Reagan’s bold, aggressive, and decisive leadership in the first years of his presidency may have saved the world.

Reagan’s War, by Peter Schweitzer documents Ronaldus Magnus’s 40+ year battle with the commie bastards.

Even when he was in Hollywood, and president of the screen actors Guild… They were trying to destroy him.

Yes, I think you will.

When you realize what they had been doing to him since the 1940s, his animosity towards anything communist and socialist makes all the sense in the world…

He was the first president I got to vote for… And he was the most amazing American president that I’d ever seen.

Trump comes close. 🙂
