Rep. Ilhan Omar (D- MN) backed Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) claim that migrant detention centers are modern-day “concentration camps” during an interview with Public Radio International Thursday. Omar definitively stated that “people are being put in camps” and defended Ocasio-Cortez’s assessment, accusing her critics of conflating concentration camps with death camps. She said: And when you think about the definition, if we separate it from death camps, I would say these are camps and people are being concentrated in them. And so that’s the general definition. I think a lot of people are conflating what a death camp looks like or...

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - Capuchins aren’t generally known for being on the Church’s avant-garde, but the friars of the Mid-America Province just did something which, technically, they’re not supposed to do according to canon law. And, frankly, they’re pretty proud of it. They elected Brother Mark Schenk, a lay friar, as their provincial minister. The problem lies with Canon 129 Sect.1, which prohibits a lay person from holding jurisdiction over ordained men. This rule clashes with the Capuchins’ understanding of their constitution, which, in its latest form ratified by the Vatican in 2013, reads, “By reason of the same vocation, brothers...

During a portion of an interview set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” President Trump said he thinks House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been reluctant to pursue impeachment because pursuing impeachment will make it easier for Trump to win re-election in the 2020 election. Host Chuck Todd asked, “Why do you think Nancy Pelosi has held off her impeachment caucus?” Trump responded, “Because I think she feels that I will win much easier.” He added, “I think I win the election easier, but I’m not sure that I like having it.”

ROME, June 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — In a letter released on Tuesday by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, Christians were called to put Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’ encyclical on the environment into practice. Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, and other Protestant ecclesial groupings are being urged to celebrate September as a “Season of Creation” to press for action on the doctrine of climate change. “During the month-long Season of Creation, Christians on six continents work to put Laudato Si’ into practice,” says the letter, which was released on Tuesday by the dicastery. The dicastery asks Christians to “participate in...

In April 2019 the Twin Cities’ flagship facility for pediatric care, Children’s Minnesota, launched a clinic for transgender and “gender diverse” young people. Ironically, within days of that opening, the Times of London reported that five clinicians at the Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service — England’s only National Health Service pediatric gender-identity clinic — had resigned “as a matter of conscience.” The clinicians expressed “alarm over the number of adolescents being prescribed body-altering drugs” at Tavistock. “This experimental treatment” is being performed on “very vulnerable children, who have experienced mental health difficulties, abuse, family trauma” that are often “whitewashed”...

President Trump’s economic nationalist fight against Chinese dominance is the “number one issue” driving Hispanic voters to back the president in the 2020 presidential election, a campaign official says. In a statement to Time Magazine, a Trump campaign official revealed that above every other issue, the administration’s fight against China is the most motivating issue for Hispanic voters who are on the fence about supporting the president in his re-election bid. Time noted: [The campaign is] also testing how to pitch Latino voters in New Mexico and Nevada on Trump’s Chinese tariffs. “The No. 1 issue driving Latino voters to...

Friday on ABC’s “The View,” Washington Post columnist George Will argued that “most Americans” were sad, embarrassed and exhausted by President Donald Trump. Co-host Meghan McCain said, “You have warned Democrats that they must practice modesty in order to beat Trump. I say the same thing all the time. You say they’re making it easy to vote for Trump. What do you think Democrats are doing wrong?” Will said, “They think the country is angry. I don’t think Americans are angry. I think those who watch certain cable channels are angry, but that’s a small slice of the country. I...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. cities expecting to be hit by a wave of immigration raids intended to deport recently arrived families who are in the United States illegally said on Friday they would not cooperate with federal authorities.

With its acceleration of Prime shipping from two days to one, Amazon established a new normal. Soon after, Walmart and Target came out with their own super-speedy shipping options. Why it matters: Flying, trucking and delivering millions of packages a day comes with a cost — as shoppers demand faster and faster speed, there has been a sharp environmental impact. The big picture: Consumers have gotten hooked on speed — and the efficiencies that e-commerce injected into retail are getting erased because now there are more deliveries of smaller numbers of packages. With this trend, emissions have grown: The annual...

Pope calls for theological reforms in Catholic schools to promote “common mission of peace” with Islam JUN 21, 2019 12:41 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS Pope Francis has issued a call for reform within “the way theology is taught in Catholic schools, saying students must learn about dialogue with Judaism and Islam” and establish “the relationship between Catholics and Muslims as brothers, with a common mission to promote peace.” Christianity already consists of the Old Testament (Judaism) and the New Testament. In the Christian tradition, the Messiah is already deemed to be Jewish “of the House of David”, so increasing dialogue...

Joe Biden was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 and spent eight years as President Barack Obama’s veep, yet the corporate media weren’t curious about, or just simply ignored, his ties to Democratic Party segregationists, radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed out on June 20. The same was true about questionable deals with China and Ukraine that financially enriched his son. Suddenly, Biden found himself in the crosshairs of an ABC special report this week in the kind damaging media attack reserved exclusively for Republicans, he said. Why now? Because the media is deciding whom will be the Democrat...

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is set to begin raids with court-ordered removals in 10 cities beginning Sunday. President Trump said on Monday evening in a pair of tweets that ICE will begin the process of removing millions illegal aliens who have illicitly entered the US. According to reports by CNN and WaPo, the raids will begin Sunday. “ICE agents will likely execute predawn raids starting Sunday, targeting as many as 2,000 migrant families facing deportation orders in as many as 10 U.S. cities, including Houston, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles,” reported the Washington Post. “The agency is planning to...

One decade after the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) was inaugurated, Anglicans returned to Plano, Texas to release a revised Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and hear presentations on Christian discipleship. Much like previous Provincial Assemblies, this one was characterized by the participation of Global South bishops exhorting adherence to orthodoxy amidst cultural headwinds. ACNA also continues to be shaped by constituent groups with significantly differing churchmanship. During the opening Assembly Eucharist, bishops clad in cope and mitre sang contemporary worship songs including Hillsong Music’s “Who You Say I Am”, a juxtaposition that seemingly only ACNA could facilitate. Assembly...
