President Joe Biden took a swipe at his foe from 13-years-ago Friday as he celebrated the passage of the “American Rescue Plan.” In the Rose Garden with congressional Democrats, Biden said he may appoint Vice President Kamala Harris to implement the $1.9 trillion behemoth spending bill.

[Catholic Caucus] Francis Removes Nephew of Whistleblower Viganò Monsignor Carlo Maria Polvani, a nephew of Whistleblower Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó, was removed as the head of the Secretary of State’s Information and Documentation Office. Surprisingly, Pope Francis shifted Polvani to the irrelevant Pontifical Council for the Culture where he will be a second under-secretary. He is therefore no longer in Holy See’s diplomatic service. Polvani’s place was taken by Monsignor Mauro Carlino, a protégé of the former Deputy Secretary of State, Angelo Becci, who now is a cardinal. According to Italian media the changes were decided by the Secretary of...

Silence? No, it seems the Bishop of Rome has gone insane: Medication may be needed. When questioned on the plane from Dublin what he had to say on the declaration of Abp. Viganò, the Bishop of Rome Francis said the following: I read it and sincerely I must tell you, and all those who are interested: read it yourselves carefully and make your own judgment. I will not say a single word on this. And yet, since his return, if there is one thing he has not been is silent. On the contrary: every single day, in his homilies at...

It is a story that reads like a passage from The Dictator Pope: Pope Francis recently accepted the age-related resignation of Héctor Aguer, the Archbishop of La Plata, Argentina — the capital city of the Buenos Aires province — and will replace him with his close confidant and ghostwriter, Archbishop Víctor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández. Not only did the pope accept the resignation of Archbishop Aguer within just a few days of its mandatory submission, he also ordered him, through the nunciature, to immediately leave the diocese and not to remain there for his retirement. On 2 June, the Vatican announced...

Outraged by what Donald Trump says? You are not alone. No high-polling presidential candidate in the modern era has so intrepidly drawn the ire of so many within the American electorate. And there remains no end in sight. Yet in rendering one voting bloc utterly apoplectic, he has appealed viscerally to another. The balance of middle ground politics is not, shall we say, Mr Trump’s bailiwick. But America is no longer a middle ground country. We are already scared by our division — and it is getting worse. The simple truth is, the more provocative his language, the deeper and...

Good fathers 'powerless against vengeful mothers' By Tom Peterkin Last Updated: 1:04PM BST 01/05/2008 Decent fathers are left powerless to see their estranged children if vengeful mothers are determined to prevent access, a senior judge has admitted. Lord Justice Ward attacked child access law after presiding over a case that saw a “vicious” mother falsely accuse her ex-husband of sexually abusing their child. He spoke out after telling the father that there was nothing he could do to help him re-establish contact with his daughter after his ex-wife turned her against him. The man’s 14-year-old daughter, who cannot been identified,...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

You and your fascist co-horts will all be sorry when the Bush* administration is charged with stealing this election. His administration and this website is nothing more then propaganda for a fascist regime. We are watching you, and we will be there when you slip up and your face down on the ground because you slipped on your own Nazi style propaganda. John Kerry won this election and you know it! Everyone knows it!

London 10.01.05 | The house of former PDVSA executive Juan Santana has just been raided by the police (DISIP). They are now raiding that of Horacio Medina, another oil executive accused by the Chavez regime of treason. Sources report that they are headed for yet another raid in Edgar Paredes' house. Lawyers of Mireya Panti, another manager accused, have been prevented from reading and accesing the files regarding this case, even though they were appointed as defence more than a year ago. Judge Jose Ramon Flores maintains that the appointment only contemplates acts of assistance whilst in the company and...

The usually well-informed Vcrisis website is reporting that the homes of two former executives of Venezuela's state-owned oil company PDVSA have been raided by police today, and a third raid on another executive's residence is said to be planned. One of the former executives, Horacsio Medina, is reportedly charged with treason. The Marxist regime of Hugo Chavez is increasingly willing to openly intimidate its opponents. The "crimes" of the former executives are unknown, but the basis of the "crimes" might well be political. Currently, the unionized workforce of PDVSA is locked in a pay dispute with the government, and union...
