The Lost Continent Of Mu, by James Churchward. Paperback Library, 1972.
Mu used to be a big deal in pseudoarchaeology. James Churchward was a Victorian inventor, engineer and traveller who moved to America in the 1890s. Towards the end of his life he began writing about a lost continent called Mu, somewhere near Easter Island in the Pacific.
Knowledge of Mu was given to him by an Indian priest who showed him ancient tablets, written by the Naacals who had inhabited Mu some 50,000 years ago. Most ancient civilizatons were descended from its colonies.
Less well known than Atlantis or Lemuria, Mu still influenced a number of pseudoscientific writings about ancient civilizations, as well as cropping up in various novels over the years.

In the video posted here, but not the post's caption, Trump begins his response to a question about the Pope's cancer diagnosis with this: "I want to see Pope Leo get well. I hear the prognosis for that type of a problem - it's a cancer, it's big stuff anytime you have cancer - but the prognosis seems to be good, I've watched. And we just want to wish him our love and our best wishes."
People are free to criticize Trump's invocation of the Pope's MAGA brother, but it wasn't the entirety or beginning of his remarks.

The furor over Mr. Talarico’s absence was extraordinary on several levels. It showed how mistrust of politicians and the mainstream news media, combined with online algorithms that incentivize outrageous theories, has created a Wild West of misinformation. nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/po…
