Louisiana sues Biden administration over new Title IX rules protecting transgender students'Do not comply' with the new federal rules, state officials tell local school districtsLouisiana's Republican governor and attorney general sued Democratic President Joe Biden Monday over new federal rules that bar discrimination against students on the basis of their sexual and gender identity.Gov. Jeff Landry, Attorney General Liz Murrill and state Education Secretary Cade Brumley railed against the new policy at a press conference, saying the rules attack the historical precedent of Title IX, which they argued is meant to protect only "biological women" from discrimination. The officials ordered...

The Select Committee to Investigate January 6 has adjourned for a well-deserved summer break. Misleading the public is exhausting work.A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases it lied by omission, in others it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility...

THE STATE RELIGION: Some Observations on the Globalist CultTHE STATE RELIGIONSome Observations on the Globalist CultIt forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,to be given a stamped image on their right hand or forehead.No one could buy or sell except for those who had the stamped image,that is, the name of the beast or the number that corresponds to his name.Rev 13:16-17In an interesting interview on Fox News titled The Church of Environmentalism (here), journalist Tucker Carlson has brought to light a contradiction that may have escaped the notice of many people but which...

A Cooked-Up Nanny State CrockpotThe left wants you driving an electric car and now cooking on an electric stove, as they want to ban gas stoves. Richard Trumka of the Biden administration’s Consumer Product Safety Commission said gas stoves should be banned under the guise of public-health.This is the same administration claiming the border is secure and inflation under control. We are $31 trillion in debt with Social Security heading toward insolvency and the left wants to know what you cook on.

Inaction of the Bishops Has Allowed ‘Catholics’ to Lead the Pro-Abortion Movement for DecadesFifty years ago, in response to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, a group of radicals founded “Catholics for a Free Choice” in Washington, D.C. It was a fringe group at the time, but the sodomite-lesbian community was already powerful in the nation’s capital, and the two groups shared the fundamental principles of narcissism, rebellion, destruction of the family, and the annihilation of the Catholic Church, all of them propelled by the Sexual Revolution.The “pro-choice” movement had grown steadily among Catholics by September 1984, when...

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), running against Republican J.D. Vance for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, reportedly has an “ongoing problem” with law enforcement, according to the head of the Buckeye States’ top police union. The Daily Mail reported that the head of Columbus Fraternal Order of Police said the congressman’s “trend of confrontational police encounters” has been an “ongoing problem,” citing the various situations Ryan has gotten into over the years.

President Joe Biden (D) said the word “democracy” 31 times during a speech delivered Thursday evening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Biden’s remarks touched on the “dangers” former President Donald Trump and his supporters posed to democracy, according to Breitbart News.

Assembly Bill 2223 by Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), is an abortion bill misleadingly labeled “Reproductive health,” which actually seeks/sought to legalize infanticide to expand the killing of infants past the moment of birth up to weeks after, the Globe reported.

Although a Catholic legislator’s vote in favor of legalizing abortion still falls short of the “formal cooperation” that carries with it automatic ex-communication, the church still considers such a vote a stain on the legislator’s soul. As such, unless he confesses his sin and does penance for it, he may not receive communion without committing the second mortal sin of sacrilege, a point that many American bishops and priests seem to have forgotten.After months of accusing Republicans of using “phony, trumped-up culture wars” to divide the electorate, the Democrats have chosen abortion, the mother of all culture war issues, as...

The Democrat Plague So now it’s the “Omicron variant,” which, like the “Delta variant,” is said to constitute an “emergency” because it is “potentially more contagious.” There are zero active “cases” of Omicron in the United States, but rest assured “it’s coming,” says the loopy Governor of New York by operation of law, Kathy Hochul, who is doubtless delighted at the prospect of a new pretext for imposing her insane “vaccine mandate” on healthcare workers in the state, which has decimated the state’s health care workforce. Hochul has publicly declared that COVID vaccines are divinely inspired and that those...

The Democrats Use Churches to Deliver Votes for McAuliffeKamala Harris’ video messages may be in violation of the Johnson Amendment.The Democrats like to keep faith out of politics even as they impose politics on faith. They are happy to harness the power of religion for their own political purposes. Their usually strict views on the “separation of church and state” don’t stop them from campaigning in churches. The most recent example of this Democratic hypocrisy comes from Virginia, where the normally secularist Terry McAullife is using a “souls to the polls” strategy to drum up votes for his gubernatorial run.The...

Liberals’ Obsession with ‘Christian Nationalism’The chattering class is very preoccupied these days with “Christian nationalism.” The pundits who speak darkly about it don’t bother to define the phrase, but it is meant to conjure up a terrifying picture of extremism. That liberals consider it a devastating slur speaks to their own anti-Christian and anti-nationalist views.The existence of patriotic Christians across the land certainly wouldn’t have alarmed the Founding Fathers. They would have found the use of “Christian nationalism” as an epithet puzzling. Indeed, they assumed that the American form of government would work best in the hands of a Christian...

The danger of Joe Biden’s empty CatholicismPerhaps no title figures more prominently in the Biden mythology, or has proven more useful, than that of Joe Biden the Devout Catholic.February 4, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Joe Biden is a man of many epithets. There is Joe Biden of Scranton, the blue-collar guy who understands the plight of the working class. There is Joe Biden the Sufferer, whose life story has granted him supreme empathy for every person on the face of the earth. But perhaps no title figures more prominently in the Biden mythology, or has proven more useful, than that of...

Nancy Pelosi attacks pro-lifers for supporting Trump, saying they ‘sold out democracy’Pelosi went so far as to say that support for Trump from pro-lifers is a source of 'great grief' for her 'as a Catholic.'WASHINGTON D.C, January 20, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The pro-abortion Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has launched an attack on Catholics for their support for Trump’s pro-life polices, claiming that they were selling out “democracy” due to their opposition to the murder of the unborn.Pelosi made the comments a few days ago, when speaking to Hilary Clinton on the failed 2016 presidential candidate’s podcast “You and...

We are up against demons. Democrats in both the US House and Senate are drafting legislation to classify “Make America Great Again” rallies as “domestic terrorist activity.” They are literally criminalizing their opposition. And they are trampling the Constitutional right to freely assemble! TRENDING: WARNING: DO NOT ATTEND Armed Protests at State Capitols Before Inauguration! - POSSIBLE SINISTER PLOT HATCHED BY RADICAL LEFT TO TAKE AWAY GUN RIGHTS!

Democrats want to use illegal aliens and prisoners to determine legislative districts, as well as boxing out those who oppose them from any voice in how districts are drawn.Democracy in New York is suffering from Democrats’ single-party rule. Recently, Democrats in the Assembly and Senate, in companion bills, placed politics above democracy by voting to amend the state constitution to ensure that the Democrat Party keeps its stranglehold on Albany politics into perpetuity. Every ten years, a census is taken. The data collected affects the number of state legislators and the geographical boundaries of each legislative district. After the districts...

Bishop Stika: Biden Not Catholic Bishops vote via social media KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Another Catholic bishop is calling Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden a fake Catholic.Bp. Rick Stika and Bp. Thomas Tobin Bishop Richard Stika of Knoxville, Tenn. has joined the ranks of American bishops who think it's dishonest for former vice president Biden to promote his Catholic faith as a campaign selling point. In a tweet on Friday, Stika expressed his incredulity. "Don't understand how Mr. Biden can claim to be a good and faithful Catholic as he denies so much of Church teaching especially on the absolute child abuse and human rights violations...

I've tried in my career as a conservative commentator to rarely use the word "evil." Disagreements over policies and agendas don't make your opponent "evil." As a matter of fact, most reasonable, common-sense Americans want compromise. But what if I were to report that Democrats are extreme, radical Stepford wives trying to destroy America, American exceptionalism, capitalism, the U.S. Constitution and the middle class? Some of you might say, "Wayne, you're exaggerating." Nope. I'm not. I'm going to play the role of Paul Revere. I'm going to expose a bill in Congress championed by congressional Democrats called H.R. 5383: the...

It would have been hard to orchestrate a worse week for Democrats. From Iowa to impeachment, the political winds shifted against them. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, only a few months ago, had been praised by the American political press as a strategic genius. Her role in orchestrating the impeachment of President Donald Trump had her declared a political winner by a host of news network reporters, not just pundits. The Democrats started by coordinating with a whistleblower whose name everyone in Washington seems to know but only Sen. Rand Paul will dare utter. After that coordination, Democrats opened an investigation the...

To the extent that Mitt Romney, handsome rich guy, is a sympathetic figure, it is because his attempts to prostrate himself before the left fail so consistently. The “binders full of women” comment, perverted as it was by the media, was also a total capitulation to the idea that there ought to be more quotas and affirmative action in hiring. But even then – even then! – they still painted him and Paul Ryan as racists who wanted to kill grandma and crawl through your window at night to steal your birth control. The lesson Republican voters took away was:...
