KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A Kenosha pastor is fasting for climate change. The Rev. Jonathan Barker, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, stopped eating on Saturday and said he will continue the protest until Congress passes a climate bill. Democrats pushed a $3.5 trillion, 10-year bill through the House Budget Committee that strengthens social safety net and climate programs. The measure is a “once-in-species-moment,” Barker said. “As a Christian, I am called to be on the side of love for neighbor,” Barker said. “Love for neighbor means making sure my neighbor has a livable future, a family-sustaining green job, clean air...

Francis, the Self-Contradictory Pope. Theory and Practice of a Non-Infallible PontificateAnyone who can understand this deserves a medal. Take a look:“There are four elements: in learning reality there are the concept and the intuition, and in explicating reality there are the two terms of an antinomy. These four elements come into tension with each other. We cannot say that the sign of its effectiveness is the balance between reality and grasping it. We must look for a sign that, in itself, contains the tension of the four elements. In my opinion, this sign is consonance.“The consonance that the subject who...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may soon recommend all Americans wear two masks to enhance their protection against coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday. “It makes common sense,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said in a livestreamed interview with the Washington Post.

House Republicans blocked quick consideration of a bill calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office amid fallout from last week’s Capitol riot.
