That’s turned up the heat on Trump and the Republican Party to address surging prices ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. The president’s approval ratings on the economy have hit a new low, according to an AP-NORC poll released last week, as the Iran war and his trade battles have increased U.S. prices for oil and other goods.

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhile still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.” Luke 11:29–30Imagine a homily beginning with these words: “This generation is an evil generation…” Such a proclamation would surely draw attention and perhaps provoke outrage. Yet these are the very words our Lord spoke to a growing crowd. The “generation” Jesus condemned was...

“I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes,” President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social back in April of 2025. “Christopher is going to make a major comeback,” Trump continued. “I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!”Columbus Day was established as a federal holiday in 1934, but in October 2021, then-President Joe Biden issued the first-ever presidential proclamation for Indigenous Peoples Day to exist alongside it. You may recall that failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris expressed her support for “efforts on the federal...

A social media trend in which non-Jewish users publicly declare themselves non-Jewish Zionists has spread rapidly across X, with a Jerusalem Post analysis identifying more than 600 matching posts from nearly 550 accounts over just over a week. The posts follow a recognizable formula: “I'm not Jewish. I'm [nationality, religion or identity]. And I am a Zionist.” The Jerusalem Post analyzed public X posts to identify where the trend began and who was amplifying it. The analysis uncovered 613 posts published between October 4 and October 11, with activity accelerating sharply on October 9. The dataset contained three matching posts...

Journalist Alex Newman is back from going undercover at the infamous annual “Burning Man” gathering in the Nevada desert from August 30 to September 7. You may think this is simply a gathering of rowdy hippies, but it is so much more and downright demonic. The people who attend are a who’s who of top global leaders in all categories, including the most important cutting-edge tech executives. Newman says, “It is definitely pagan worship. It is worse than anyone can imagine. There are literally naked people dancing around the fire. They get into orgies. There are kids watching some of...

“There’s nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight.” — Lon ChaneyEvery year the displays get more extravagant, as if they are tracking the national zeitgeist exactly, fright upon fright. You also have to wonder how much cash money is going into these displays of morbid anxiety, in many cases a hefty percentage of the annual household income plus who-knows how many hours of labor. . . to put out the message “Be scared, be very scared.”Halloween traditionally brings a dissolution of the boundary between the real world and whatever you suppose lies beyond it: the abode of dead souls,...

Russia's rapid escalation has thrown into doubt the European Union's multiple support programmes for Ukraine. Diplomats concede it is only a matter of time before leaders address the contentious matter. The European Union is rapidly coming to terms with the limitations of its multibillion-euro support for Ukraine, as Russia's all-out escalation wrecks the country's finances, depletes its air defences and deepens its reliance on cash-strapped donors. "This war will last longer than we thought," a European diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "There's a realisation that needs will continue to present themselves, but it's not yet clear how this...

Europe paid around €7.88 billion for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia’s Arctic energy project in the first nine months of 2026, a record 12.18 million tonnes reaching European ports between January and September this year.

A federal judge on Sunday ordered the Trump administration to stop airing ads funded by the U.S. government that portray President Donald Trump in a favorable light, effective immediately. The lawsuit was brought by watchdog group Common Cause; an individual named Robert Hunter, who is a Democratic candidate for a seat in the Alabama state House; and a labor union in New York and its political action committee. The suit was one of several similar complaints — including one by the Democratic National Committee — that were filed in an effort to get the ads off the air.
