It’s not every day you get to see an antique steam engine from the 1940’s rumbling down the tracks, smoke billowing from the stacks. Union Pacific’s historic Big Boy steam locomotive No. 4014 is touring the Union Pacific system throughout 2019 to commemorate the transcontinental railroad’s 150th anniversary. It will roll into West Chicago around 2:30 this afternoon and will be on display starting Saturday. It will spend a few days hanging out so we can all take all take a look at this piece of American history.t

Only in Clown World is it possible for big corporations to label heterosexuality as “gross”. Yes, the very thing that allowed them to type out those words in an e-mail, and gave them an opportunity at living a life in the waking world is “gross” for some people, but that’s just the way it is in an era of insanity. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m talking about Netflix’s response to the Straight Pride Parade group known as Super Happy Fun America. Recently the company posted up a tweet on July 26th, 2019 with an image revealing...

Rep. Ilhan Omar's strange personal life keeps getting stranger...[summarizes Daily Mail article on the impending divorce] They've got a house with presumably a mortgage, presumably a DC apartment and now another $2,800 a month luxury apartment. And [Omar's husband, Ahmed] Hirsi's driving a BMW. While having three kids. That's some interesting financial management.

any expressions of Christian belief have been censored by YouTube, which is owned by Google. But on Tuesday, even the word “Christian” ran afoul of the social-media giant. Chad Robichaux reported an ad for his ministry to veterans was rejected for including the word “Christian.” Robichaux was instructed to “please remove the unacceptable content to continue.” We ran a @YouTube ad for our veterans ministry outreach for those in need & it was denied for the word “Christian”. Insane! #Censorship should terrify every American; conservative or liberal, Christian or Muslim. This bias is a dangerous course for America. @MightyOaksFDN pic.twitter.com/at5CsAfEht...

Thursday, July 25, 2019 [Catholic Caucus] USCCB Calls Evil What God Ordained As A Tool For Civil Order Last week I posted how many leftists are putting their souls into jeopardy by calling evil what God has ordained as goods.  The USCCB continues down that slippery path. Today Attorney General William Barr has announced that the US Department of Justice will resume the federal death penalty.  Right on cue the USCCB is pitching its hissy fit.  A telling phrase in the Catholic News Agency piece is this: "Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2267 on the death penalty was updated...

Government prosecutors filed a motion Friday to get permission to show a clip from “The Godfather Part II” during the trial for Trump associate Roger Stone. The roughly 4 1/2 minute scene, the prosecutors say, is one that Stone referenced in conversations that allegedly constituted witness tampering, according to court documents. Stone, an associate of President Trump and a longtime GOP operative, was indicted in January by former special counsel Robert Mueller on charges of impeding a congressional investigation, lying to Congress and witness tampering. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and will stand trial in November.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio no longer appear on several ads in Hollywood for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as a conservative street artist has swapped their images with those of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and film director Roman Polanski. The giant billboard at Pico and La Cienega had been rented by Sony to advertise the Quentin Tarantino movie that opened Thursday night, but Friday morning not only have the photos of the actors been altered, but also the film’s title, which now reads: “Once Upon a Time In Pedowood.” The artist behind the alterations goes by the...

The Supreme Court on Friday handed President Trump a major victory by clearing the way for him to divert $2.5 billion from the military’s budget and use it to build an extra 100 miles of border wall in California, Arizona and New Mexico. The justices, by a vote of 5 to 4, lifted orders by a federal judge in Oakland and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that had barred the administration from using the Pentagon’s money to build a border wall.

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign released a new video attacking four radical Congresswomen who the president has zeroed in on as the new face of the Democratic Party. The campaign video kicks with an image of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), with googly eyes relacing Ocasio-Cortez’s regular eyes and the caption “The Squad: Meet the Leaders of the Democrat Party.”

This was a project for Honors English 9. I wanted to analyze the 2016 Presidential Election and why Donald Trump won. The video that does that is still being worked on. This documentary offers a recap for the 2016 election, and how it happened.

[Catholic Caucus] Celibacy Even Appreciated By Polygamous People - Cardinal Celibacy is practiced since the time of the apostles and has very good reasons, Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze told CatholicHerald.co.uk (July 25).He stressed that people appreciate celibacy, “Even in some parts of the world where the cultures allow the men to marry two wives, even in those areas they appreciate celibacy: both the sacrifice it means and the single-mindedness of heart which it indicates.”Abolishing celibacy because of the failings of some priests is according to Arinze “like banning cars because some people crash them.”

MSNBC contributor and Democratic National Committee advisor Donny Deutsch on Friday said "we're" not going to "play fair" in an effort to put President Donald Trump in jail. (snip) DONNY DEUTSCH, MSNBC: What you said in a couple of minutes yesterday to me is the most important thing that's ever been said on this show, or on any show on this air, and that [is] we are at war. It is time for the Democrats to wake up. We are playing against cheaters and liars or stealers. … We actually have a government led by Moscow Mitch and Criminal Trump...

A federal judge dismissed Friday the $25 million defamation lawsuit filed against the Washington Post by Kentucky teen Nicholas Sandmann over the newspaper’s coverage of his viral encounter with an elderly Native American activist at the Lincoln Memorial. Senior U.S. District Court Judge William O. Bertelsman found that activist Nathan Phillips may have been wrong when he said he was “blocked” by the teen and not allowed to “retreat,” but that such statements represented opinion protected by the First Amendment. “And The Post is not liable for publishing these opinions, for the reasons discussed in this Opinion,” said the 36-page...

President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor. "They want to investigate, they want to go fishing and I watched Bob Mueller and they have nothing," Trump said of Democrats during an Oval Office gathering to announce an agreement with Guatemala. "It's a disgrace," he continued. "We want to find out what happened the last Democrat president. Let's look into Obama the way they've looked into me. From day one they've looked into everything we've...

Francis' Ambiguities Follow “A Plan” Pope Francis uses ambiguity to achieve his goals, Father John Hunwicke told Gloria.tv (video below), "It is as if this is a deliberate plan."Hunwicke is a former Anglican. He was the Head of Theology at Lancing College, England, and a Senior Research Fellow at Pusey House in Oxford.The situation in the Church reminds Hunwicke of the English Anglicans: "When they ask for dialogue what they are really asking for is: They want us to listen to them and then to agree with them."Hunwicke explains that Francis calls for "parrhesia," for dialogue, but does not appreciate...
