Daily Readings from the USCCB“Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.” Matthew 11:11–12The two sentences in the passage above can be challenging to comprehend, but the insights of Church Fathers and saints offer us a deeper understanding. In the first sentence, Jesus declares John the Baptist to be the greatest of those born...

The open stretches of public land along California’s southern frontier have long served as a quiet reminder of America’s vulnerability. But no more. On Wednesday, the Trump administration handed over jurisdiction of roughly 760 acres in San Diego and Imperial counties to the U.S. Navy, carving out a fresh militarized zone to clamp down on the relentless tide of illegal crossings. This corridor, snaking from the edge of the Otay Mountain Wilderness nearly to the Arizona line, traces through the Imperial Valley and past border towns like Tecate—a notorious hotspot where smugglers and cartels have run roughshod for years.It’s a...

The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday to add another militarized zone to the southern border — this time in California — as part of a major shift that has thrust troops into border enforcement with Mexico like never before. The Department of Interior said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California's border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce "the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty." The Interior Department described the newest national defense area in California as a high-traffic zone for unlawful crossings by immigrants. But Border Patrol arrests along the southern U.S. border...

In an interview on "The Katie Miller Pod," Elon Musk said DOGE, the Department of Governmental Efficiency, was a "somewhat successful" venture, but he wouldn't do it again. KATIE MILLER: You are in the Roosevelt Room, if you remember this, getting sworn in, and they hand you a computer and a phone. I want to go back to what happened next. I think the story of DOGE, from your perspective, has never been told. What was your first thought on how DOGE was going to proceed? ELON MUSK: Well, I guess I couldn't believe I was there, for the most...

U.S. — In a corroboration of what many had long suspected, a new report finally confirmed that the holiday of Kwanzaa had been revealed to be an elaborate prank on white people. While experts had wondered for decades if the manufactured holiday was just a clever inside joke to mess with caucasians, it wasn't until a bombshell exposé revealed the complex ruse for what it was all along. "Yeah, you got us," said black dude Achonte Ndukwe. "We all held a secret meeting back in the late '60s to figure out what we could do to mess with white people....

/img> Stunning video shows the moment a skydiver’s parachute got caught on a plane’s tail — leaving him dangling 15,000 feet above the ground. The parachutist was climbing out the door and preparing to jump out over North Queensland, Australia, when the handle for his reserve parachute hooked onto a partially extended wing flap, causing it to deploy as he jumped, the hair-raising footage shows. The reserve parachute then became entangled on the aircraft’s tail, leaving the man desperately flailing from the back of the speeding jet, video from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) shows.

It’s the Dawn of Perpetual Scarcity and a New Monetary Era” Silver has experienced three spectacular bull runs over the past century, each driven by distinct macroeconomic, geopolitical, and supply-demand dynamics. Yet the present cycle is fundamentally different—a convergence of global mining stagnation and surging multi-sector demand threatens to ignite a much more consequential and potentially prolonged price explosion. The Three Major Bull Runs 1970s Bull Run (1971–1980) $1.30 → $50.00 → +3,746 % (≈ 37×) over 9 years 1970s run: final ~1.5 years = 80–90% of gains The first great silver bull began in 1971, triggered by the collapse...

The George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Los Angeles Behold, the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Exposition Park, Los Angeles. Of course the darn thing had to look like a space ship, because George Lucas made the very $5.3-billion fortune that enabled him to aggrandize himself in this museum on the space movie franchise Star Wars. The 300,000 square-foot building contains 35 galleries and two movie theaters. Note the “environmental” roof-scape! What’s that narrative? Answer: The “green” roof is there simply to mollify the climate zealots on the LA planning board and allow Hollywood bigshots to enjoy their...

Socialist dictator of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro on Wednesday sang a modified version of Bobby McFerrin’s iconic song, Don’t Worry, Be Happy as a “message” to American citizens amid growing tensions between both countries. Maduro, wearing a Venezuelan straw hat, delivered his latest “artistic performance” during a regime event commemorating the 166th anniversary of the Battle of Santa Inés, a pivotal battle in Venezuela’s mid-19th Century Federal War. “To American citizens who are against the war, I respond with a very famous song,” Maduro prefaced in Spanish before singing “Don’t worry, be happy” in English. “Yes peace, not war,” Maduro continued,...

Downing a smooth, sweet morsel of chocolate may feel like the ultimate indulgence, but did you know that certain compounds in dark chocolate could actually be good for your heart? Yes, you read that correctly — dark chocolate is more than just a delicious treat; it has some sweet potential benefits for your cardiovascular health too. Before you start stockpiling candy bars, though, there's a bit more to the science than simply grabbing the darkest-looking chocolate on the shelf. As a registered dietitian, here’s what I think you need to know about the potential health benefits and drawbacks of dark...

As the old aphorism goes: “Don’t tax you; don’t tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.” Nobody likes paying taxes, but most Americans accept them as a necessary evil and are willing to pay their fair share, unless politicians waste those tax dollars in extraordinarily—well—wasteful ways, or steal them outright. I refer, of course, to California, where, as the classic Eagle’s song Hotel California goes: “You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.” California, it’s no secret, is in deep financial trouble. In 2022, Gavin Newsom bragged about a $97.5 billion dollar surplus. By the...

An international team of researchers have successfully recovered and analysed ancient DNA from Egyptian mummies dating from approximately 1400 BCE to 400 BCE, including the first genome-wide data from three individuals. The study found that modern Egyptians share more ancestry with sub-Saharan Africans than ancient Egyptians did, whereas ancient Egyptians were found to be most closely related to ancient people from the Middle East and Western Asia. This study counters prior scepticism about the possibility of recovering reliable ancient DNA from Egyptian mummies. Despite the potential issues of degradation and contamination caused by climate and mummification methods, the authors were...

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller discusses the U.S. seizing a Venezuelan tanker and claims CNN banned him from its network on ‘Hannity.

The United States seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said, escalating US pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s regime. “As you probably know we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,” Trump said. “Large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually.” Attorney General Pam Bondi said the tanker has been sanctioned by the US for multiple years “due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” including Venezuela and Iran.

A central claim among those who deny a link between ancient and modern Egyptians is that subsequent invasions replaced the original population. This is not supported by demographic, genetic, or linguistic evidence. Genetic studies show ancient Egypt DNA continues.The Greek and Roman Periods: The Ptolemaic Greeks and later the Romans ruled as small, elite minorities. Their demographic footprint on the overall gene pool of Egypt was negligible.The Arab Conquest (7th Century CE): This was the most significant cultural event, introducing Arabic and Islam. However, this was a case of elite dominance and cultural diffusion, not population replacement. The Genetic Impact:...
