Jim Gaffigan is a comedian and was in the 2016 documentary "The Face of Mercy", produced by The Knights of Columbus and the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. I just read a number of Mr. Gaffigan Twitter rants from the last 24 hours and they are foul and hatefully, https://twitter.com/JimGaffigan/status/1299196054274011136. I responded to Mr. Gaffigan Tweets with the following: You were part of "The Face of Mercy" documentary (Knights of Columbus). Mercy is not present with your foul language. Diary of St Faustina "...I DEMAND from you deeds of mercy, ......show mercy to your neighbors always.....not...

Legendary college football coach Lou Holtz will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, President Trump announced at a White House press briefing on Friday. Trump said the White House received letters of recommendation from several prominent figures across sports and politics, including University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban, Louisiana State University head coach Ed Orgeron and former Ohio State University head coach Urban Meyer. The president called Holtz an “incredible leader” who deserved the country’s highest civilian honor. “I’ve known him for a long time.

nd so is Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and a bevy of other liberal Democrats who are “personally opposed’ to abortion” while giving lip service to a basic tenet of their alleged faith. To be sure you cannot judge what’s in someone’s heart and soul and you should not judge lest ye be also judged by the same standards. But it has also been said by someone with authority that by their fruits ye shall know and the fruits of the efforts of Joe Biden and others to preserve the “right” to an abortion and the funding of Planned Parenthood has...

Yes, Joe Biden is Catholic in name only. So are Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and a bevy of other liberal Democrats who are "personally opposed' to abortion" while paying lip service to a basic tenet of their alleged faith. To be sure, you cannot judge what's in someone's heart and soul, and you should not judge lest ye be also judged by the same standards.

Lou Holtz, former football coach at Notre Dame University, spoke at the Republican National Convention, slamming Democratic nominee Joe Biden as “Catholic in name only” for his radical pro-abortion policies. Notre Dame, a supposedly Roman Catholic university run by catholic clergy, issued a statement disavowing his comments. Over the years, Notre Dame has shown a decidedly radical liberal bent in its teachings and actions. It has taken an agnostic view toward abortion, despite the Vatican’s strong condemnation of the practice. And when it comes to political candidates who profess their catholicism, who run on their religious affiliation and support unfettered...

Well, it's now a clean sports sweep of Indiana for Trump! Bobby Knight of the Hoosiers and Lou Holtz of the Fightin' Irish.  Tomorrow's the team to shake down the thunder from the skies, Donald!  Hey, whatever happened to Larry Byrd? But now this ND alum is now be a Georgia Bulldog fan.  Go Dawgs!

Lou Holtz once said, "Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them." Unfortunately, Lou Holtz is a man out-of-step with our whiny age. Today, people will not shut up about their problems. They want to let you know about every issue they have, every "microaggression" and every time they're offended. It's a bottomless sea of discontent. Worse yet, our generation of complainers never seems to blame themselves for their own problems. Instead they've picked out a group of designated fall guys that it's always okay to blame for...

The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works, and the America that doesn’t. The America that contributes, and the America that doesn’t. It’s not the haves and the have nots, it’s the dos and the don'ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society, and others don't. That’s the divide in America . It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. It’s about a political party that loves power more than...

Lou Holtz, an avid Republican, has to know by now that politics can make some of the suits at ESPN squeamish. So why would he get this involved in the cause...?

The conference expansion talk surrounding Notre Dame joining the Big Ten is an issue that has been mostly separated into two factions pitted against each other, there are those in the yay column and those in the nay. Those in the nay are arguing for Notre Dame to keep its traditional independence. They are usually those who cheer for one team loyally, the golden domers. Those in the yay argue for Notre Dame to join a conference. This group is usually the fans that cheer for two teams every Saturday in the fall—their personal favorite, and whoever is playing the...

Orlando, Fla. - Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz is mulling a run for Congress in Florida as a Republican, a GOP strategist said Tuesday. Holtz could decide in the next several weeks whether to seek the central Florida congressional seat held by Democrat U.S. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, said the strategist who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to talk about the matter. The 72-year-old Holtz has never run for office. He has worked as an analyst at ESPN since retiring from his last coaching stint at the University of South Carolina at the end of the 2004...

CLEMSON, S.C. -- University of South Carolina coach Lou Holtz announced Monday he will retire, ending one of the most successful and colorful college football careers. "It's always with mixed emotions whenever you leave somewhere," Holtz said during a news conference where tears filled his eyes. The 67-year-old coach told the team and his staff on Thursday, although he's said little publicly about his departure or about reports Steve Spurrier will succeed him. College football was what Holtz held so dear for 33 seasons. He's eighth all time with 249 victories. But what he became known for was reviving dormant...
