[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis Signs Document Protecting “Consensual” Clerical Sodomy by Chris Ferrara Yes, the title of this column is provocative, to say the least, but that is what is really going on with the just-signed Apostolic Letter “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (VELM).  VELM lays down requirements for reporting “crimes of sexual abuse” committed by clerics, which “offend Our Lord, cause physical, psychological and spiritual damage to the victims and harm the community of the faithful.”  But VELM is just another layer of bureaucratic procedure that ignores the underlying rot of the widespread homosexual infiltration of the clergy.We know this...

The organizers of a rally calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump said the event was held to deliver to Congress a petition with more than ten million signatures urging for the action, but only two House Democrats showed up in support. Reps. Al Green (D-TX) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were the only two Democrats to attend and speak at the event. They were joined by a host of leftwing organizations, including CREDO, George Soros-funded MoveOn.org, the Woman’s March — including pro-Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour — and Free Speech for People. “I always tell people: ‘This is your House,...

… the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:...

The Massachusetts senator talked up economic policies she says will benefit America's working and middle classes at a campaign event today You probably wouldn't usually go to Cincinnati's cavernous music venue Bogart's at 11 a.m. for a 45-minute talk about economic policy, but roughly 1,000 prospective voters supporting or curious about Democratic presidential primary contender U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren did today. Minus a couple flubs, Warren brought enough energy to fill the room, showcasing a wonky but neatly-packaged policy platform aimed squarely at voters disenchanted with the nation's economic and political structures and a controversial Republican administration. The Massachusetts senator,...

There was plenty of rain in many parts of France today but the Yellow Vests protests continued. There are two different estimates with "The Yellow Number" issuing its final number Sunday at Noon.

Longstanding U.S. tradition sees champions in many sports visit the White House as a celebratory honor. But in this bitterly polarized era, meeting the president is no longer a routine practice. Many star athletes have opted out of the experience based on their political and philosophical perspectives. Yamiche Alcindor talks to Kevin Blackistone of The Washington Post and ESPN about the divide.

**SNIP** Richard Ben-Veniste, a former Watergate prosecutor, told The Independent that any effort to keep Mr Mueller from testifying is likely to fail. And, the more it looks like Mr Trump and his team are resisting that effort – resisting the effort for Americans to hear “the truth”, as Ms Pelosi might put it – the more it will hurt the 45th president. “I think ultimately Robert Mueller will testify, and that the more the president and his attorney general seek to delay or derail Mueller’s public testimony the more of a political price it will pay in the court...

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., indicated that he and his colleagues could impose hefty fines on people like Attorney General William Barr if they refused to comply with congressional subpoenas. "We would level fines on those who are not cooperating until they are compelled to produce what they are asked to produce," he stated during an event on Friday.

President Donald Trump on Saturday called for China to act now on trade or risk facing a worse deal if negotiations continue into a possible second term after the 2020 presidential election. Trump claimed China was ‘beaten so badly’ in recent trade negotiations that Beijing wanted to wait until after the 2020 election in the hope a Democrat would win the White House and offer them a better deal. Trump, however, said he would prevail in the upcoming election and warned that a trade deal would be ‘much worse’ for China if it was negotiated during his second term.

Presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said that she does not support creating a federal firearm licensing system. “No, I think there is a better approach,” Gillibrand told the Washington Examiner at a campaign stop in Warner, N.H., on Saturday, when asked about a plan proposed by primary rival Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. “To end gun violence, I would do three things,” she said. “I would, No. 1, pass universal background checks, which are commonsense and supported by 70% of America."

MASON, Ohio — Mason High School students will no longer vie for valedictorian and salutatorian distinctions in an effort to "reduce the overall competitive culture" between students, school officials said. Beginning with the Class of 2020, the high school will do away with both honors. School officials said it follows a yearlong study and focus group with students, staffers and families. "It's about what it means to be happy and what it means to be successful and it's not just about the grade but it's about the whole child," Associate Principal Shanna Bumiller said. Mason school officials made the announcement...

Oy. Ok – so before I start, let me make it clear that I understand that mother’s day can be difficult for children without moms. Here’s the thing – I think every day is difficult for children without moms. Or dads. It’s just reality. One day isn’t going to change their reality. But is this about children who have tragically lost their mothers? Or is this some PC bullcrap about how binary traditional families are offensive. Hmm. According to Daily Mail: A school has renamed a Mother’s Day stall to avoid upsetting any children without a mother. Brunswick East Primary...

Devin Nunes, R-Calif., slammed FBI Director James Comey saying “he made a mess of the FBI” on “Fox & Friends” Friday. “This is a guy who continues to just make a mockery of the entire FBI and the Department of Justice,” Nunes said, reacting to Comey’s appearance at CNN’s town hall event on Thursday. “This is the guy who, remember, leaked his memos in order to make sure that a Special Counsel was created to investigate the president. “This is the guy who...

As more Democrats throw their hat into the ring of 2020 hopefuls, President Donald Trump is getting more and more creative with his opponents’ nicknames. However, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg was admittedly scratching his head at his given nickname as he became “Alfred E. Neuman” in a Trump interview with Politico. Alfred E. Neuman is the freckled, red-haired boy mascot of MAD magazine. When asked about the interview, the 37-year-old told reporters that he had to Google the reference. “I guess it’s a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference,” Buttigieg said.

FULL TITLE: Trey Gowdy: Comey, Clapper and Brennan ‘Are Validating’ Trump’s Concerns About Their Objectivity by Their Comments and Demeanor EXCERPT: GOWDY: "St. James Comey, pretty much the same as every other interview. He is always right. He gets to write the moral script. If you deviate from that, if you’re Rod Rosenstein, then you lack character. If you’re somebody else, your soul has been eaten. What I kept thinking back to, Jason, was when I asked Jim Comey how did the Russia investigation get started? Who started it? He didn’t know it was Peter Strzok, he never read the...

The former vice president can’t seem to escape his gaffe-prone ways, yet continues to remain in the public eye. When it comes down to it and Joe goes head-to-head with President Trump in the 2020 general election, Biden stands an excellent chance of being a thrice failed candidate for POTUS. Check out this recently unearthed clip of Biden sounding eerily similar to Trump when it comes to Mexico – and it’s not from that long ago.
