The Wise Men brought gifts to God incarnate. Do I give the best of the time, talents, and treasure entrusted to me... or just what is left over after sacrificing at the altars of the world?The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Savior of the world (CCC 528). Who were the wise men who came to find the “new king of the Jews”? They were men of the East (Matt 2:1), learned in reading the stars and ancient prophecy. They were not among God’s chosen people. They were gentiles. They came to...

The derogatory term “welfare queen” was so 1980s and ‘90s, when Republicans and even some Democrats were looking to reform welfare programs. President Biden, by contrast, is doing all he can to expand the number of people receiving means-tested welfare. That makes him the welfare king. The irony is that historically politicians liked to boast that their leadership had created jobs and grown the economy, thereby reducing the number of people on welfare. Biden also says he’s growing the economy and creating a record number of new jobs even as he tries to push more Americans into means-tested programs. His...

The angels announced their tidings to shepherds. I will remember that where man sees a shepherd, God may see a king. I don’t have to be “great” in the eyes of the world to serve the Kingdom. There are times when God comes to us in the whispers of life and times that He comes with trumpets blaring and all of the hosts of Heaven. In both, He tends to come into our world quietly… to those ready to perceive Him. In the quiet moments, we are most attentive to His message—we have to lean in to hear Him.When He...

Lord, on the cross, You took pity on the crowd and taught them through the Psalm. Help me preach the Gospel with my life... and use words when necessary. There was never a time when our Lord wasn’t the Son of God. There was never a time the Father wasn’t Father of the Son. There was never a time the Holy Spirit wasn’t moving among them. From the foundations of creation, our Lord has loved us. Hanging on the cross, the unfathomable depth of His love was shown. He died to pay a debt we could not pay to bring...

On the cross, You welcomed the thief in his contrition. In dying, You destroyed our death. May I never despair of Your mercy. Christ on the cross is an image of infinite love where infinity Himself died for love of us (Rom 5:8). God chose to send His only begotten son, the living image of His invisible self (Col 1:15), to die as a sacrificial offering in atonement for the sins of men (Is 53:10). No one took His life. He laid it down. He laid it down willingly. He laid it down for love (1 John 3:16).As the image...

President Biden on Wednesday called King Charles III to offer condolences on the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. “The President recalled fondly the Queen’s kindness and hospitality,” according to the White House. Biden recalled to the king that he and first lady Jill Biden saw the late queen last June at Windsor Castle while in the United Kingdom. The queen, who led the monarchy for 70 years, died last week at age 96. “He also conveyed the great admiration of the American people for the Queen, whose dignity and constancy deepened the enduring friendship and special relationship between...

Novelist, Hollywood producer, and left-wing Trump-basher Stephen King says he cannot understand why people continue to support former President Donald Trump, because he believes “most people are good,” and Trump is a “horrible person” who “engaged in criminal behavior.” “I think that most people are good,” King said in a recent interview with the Sunday Times. “Most people will give you the shirt off their back.”

Stephen King is sorry, not sorry for spreading fake news about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The novelist has publicly apologized for tweeting a false claim that Gov. DeSantis signed a bill requiring Florida students and professors to register their political views with the state. The erroneous claim appears to have come from a Salon article from last year that recently went viral. “I regret having posted the headline without being more confident the story was correct. Salon is usually more reliable. Twitter is a constant learning experience, and I will try to do better,” the author said in a statement...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been getting trolled across social media for bragging about telling Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that women’s tennis icon and feminist activist Billie Jean King sends her regards. “When I spoke to President Zelensky, I said, Billie Jean King sends you her regards,” Pelosi told reporters on Wednesday.

CNN anchor John King on Friday sounded off on President Joe Biden’s presidency heading into the midterm elections. King provided a grave outlook on Biden given his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy. He said the country and his party are both “frustrated” with Biden and argued it is “very dark for him right now.”

Just off Furness Peninsula on England’s west coast, lonely Piel Island—with its castle from the 1300s and over-300-year-old public house, The Ship Inn—is in want of someone with the right mindset, and a penchant for living in solitude, to take over her lease, run the pub, and care for the island. As for the said kingship, that too is in the bargain—and it’ll almost be official. The inn’s first recorded landlord, Edward Postlethwaite, served the role from 1746 to 1766. And since the 1800s, according to local authorities, the title “King of Piel” has been bestowed on those who filled...

Joe Biden is a chameleon who, even when he was in possession of his faculties, probably didn’t believe in much of anything. Now, going with the flow, he has become a “woke” warrior who tries to portray himself as a civil rights activist, which he never was. Biden has repeatedly claimed in speeches to have been arrested in the cause of civil rights, once supposedly when he was trying to visit Nelson Mandela–a complete fantasy. But that’s not all: in his speech yesterday in Atlanta, he not only launched absurd smears against Republicans, he portrayed himself as an activist who...

A couple in their 90s - who weren't able to celebrate when they first got married 77 years ago - were finally able to have the wedding they always dreamed of, thanks to their hospice-carers. Devoted couple Royce and Frankie King, both 98, didn't have wedding photos taken when they first tied the knot on September 16, 1944 - since they had to squeeze in their nuptials before Royce went off to fight in the war. Back in 1944, Frankie, who didn't even have time to get a wedding gown, wore a white dress she already owned, while Royce donned...

CNN anchor John King revealed that he "was having a lot of trouble functioning" working to cover the 2020 election as he dealt with multiple sclerosis. "I hope nobody noticed it, but election week in America was probably one of my worst weeks last year," King said Wednesday morning. "I was having a lot of trouble functioning." King manned CNN's electoral map for days after Election Day last November, as results slowly came in across the country until President Biden was projected as the winner the following Saturday. He at times provided insight and analysis on the vote totals and...

Monday, CBS “This Morning” host Gayle King revealed her Thanksgiving festivities this year will go on without members of her family who are yet to get the coronavirus vaccine. King told National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was discussing the importance of the White House’s door-to-door push to encourage people to get the vaccine to fend off the Delta variant, that she has members of her own family who are reluctant to get the vaccine.

Rodney King – O.J. Simpson – Derek Chauvin. They won’t remember the name of Chavin’s "victim" because there’s an over-supply in the victimization industry. But Chavin is the shot heard around the world, in the planned breakdown of law and safety in liberal democracy. "8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime", runs an agenda item from the "11-point plan to subvert western civilization" (to make it stink) of the cultural-Marxist Frankfurt School of the great grand-daddy of today’s nightmare "Wokes", the New Left’s Herbert Marcuse. We can take the cue from the history of the shot...
