Chuck Todd used a Letter to the Editor published 11 months ago in the Lexington Herald Leader to attack supporters of President Trump who believe the Bible. “Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark and I will show you a Trump voter,” Todd read

Mass for the feast of the Holy Innocents according to the Orthodox Western Rite.

Throughout his decades of public service, the former Senator and current Vice President has earned a reputation for often saying the wrong thing at the wrong time Yesterday was no different. He thanked teens under the age of 15 for attending his “boring” town hall in New Hampshire and “promised” them something special for showing up.

It is not unusual for true ministers of God to have their teachings deliberately misconstrued by enemies, to discredit them. This happened to our LORD Jesus, when he was accused of being a threat to the Temple and of blasphemy against the sacred place. It also happened to the Apostle Paul, when his detractors accused him of teaching that believers can sin with impunity, since Grace is free and available. And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just. ( Romans...

Ghislaine Maxwell the socialite and alleged pimp for pedophile predator Jeffrey Epstein believes she has so much “serious dirt” on the rich and powerful she’ll skate on any charges. For more than two decades, the British party girl was constantly at Epstein’s side, first as his girlfriend, then as his kept madam. Epstein died mysteriously in a New York jail last August but the fallout from his vile machinations has not peaked. A number of the twisted financier’s underage victims are claiming it was Maxwell who lured them into Epstein’s sick orbit. A pal told The UK Sun, that...

A majority of black Americans are more interested in voting in the 2020 presidential election than they were in 2016, according to a national survey of 1200 black voters and non-voters conducted by Third Way and the Joint Center. Why it matters: Black voter turnout declined significantly in 2016 nationally and in key swing states, ultimately contributing to Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump. New details from focus groups and polling suggests that the motivation to remove Trump from office is firing up black Americans to head to the polls next November. Details: Third Way and the Joint Center conducted...

Mud is a family business; it has been for more than half a century. For decades, baseball’s official rule book has required that every ball be rubbed before being used in a game. Bintliff’s mud is the only substance allowed. Originally marketed as “magic,” it’s just a little thicker than chocolate pudding—a tiny dab is enough to remove the factory gloss from a new ball without mucking up the seams or getting the cover too filthy. Equipment managers rub it on before every game, allowing pitchers to get a dependable grip. The mud is found only along a short stretch...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has started filing claims to begin deporting illegal aliens who were protected under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told reporters on Saturday he would nominate former President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court “if he’d take it.” “Biden asked here in Washington, Iowa, if he would ever nominate former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court. ‘If he’d take it, yes,'”

(4 pics at link) Blades from a controversial wind turbine in Baychester flew off the massive structure Monday, crashing to the street below, according to officials. No one was injured — but a car was smashed and a billboard was knocked down around 1:20 p.m. at 500 Baychester Avenue, according to fire and police officials. State Sen. Jamaal Bailey and Assemblyman Mike Benedetto claimed at the scene in an impromptu press conference the structure was put up quick “in order to try and make a buck” — and called on the city Department of Buildings to “make sure something like...

CNN host Jake Tapper conceded that Hunter Biden’s decision to take a job for a Ukrainian natural gas firm while his father was vice president “stinks.” During an interview with Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III on Sunday, Tapper acknowledged that he found it suspicious that Biden, 49, landed a high-paying position on the board of Burisma while his father, Joe Biden, was leading diplomatic efforts in the region for President Barack Obama. Tapper acknowledged that there is not evidence of criminal wrongdoing between the Bidens and Burisma but admitted that the optics were not great. “It is true that...

New state population totals released Monday offer fresh signs that political power is poised to continue its shift from the North and Midwest to the South and Southwest in ways that could help states that have voted Republican in recent years. The Census Bureau on Monday released state population estimates for the year ended July 1. Congressional seats and electoral votes are allocated to states based on a census conducted every 10 years. Because the 2019 estimates come less than a year before the next decennial census, they closely approximate which states will gain and lose as a result of...

Cardinal: Europeans Should Be ‘Fiercely Ashamed’ for Treatment of Migrants Earlier this week, the cardinal expressed his opinion that the political inaction on the Mediterranean refugee crisis is due to “fear of right-wing parties.”“I find it outrageous that we’re letting people drown in the Mediterranean; that our hearts have become so hard; that politics no longer dares to act for fear of right-wing parties,” Hollerich told RTL Radio.In his Christmas diatribe on behalf of migrants, the cardinal brought in another topic dear to the pontiff’s heart — climate change — suggesting that many of those migrating are being forced out...

When Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” became the first Korean film to win the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, it was the worthy culmination of a stellar career. The South Korean master has rattled off gem after gem with a modern monster movie of “Jaws” meets “Godzilla” in “The Host” (2006), a sci-fi social commentary about class divides on an action-packed speeding train in “Snowpiercer” (2013), and a young girl’s adventure to save her beastly friend from a multinational corporation in “Okja” (2017). This week, his latest and arguably greatest work “Parasite” finally received the overdue American affirmation it...

Doesn’t fit the narrative. The Southern Poverty Law Center has remained completely silent about the domestic terror attack against Hasidic Jews, presumably because it was carried out by a non-white person. Grafton E. Thomas entered a a rabbi’s home and stabbed five people as they celebrated Hanukkah in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York City on Saturday night. Gov. Andrew Cuomo quickly announced that the stabbings were an act of domestic terrorism “spurred by hate.” Another attack earlier this month on a kosher grocery store in New Jersey was carried out by assailants motivated by black supremacist ideology. Despite...
