This is a new use of our tax dollars. Clueless Republicans will likely cheer this move as now government moves in to eliminate free speech in America. Never before has the First Amendment been under such a serious threat in America. And unfortunately the GOP is eager to assist. Will this new military operation ban The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC or the Washington Post for their years of lies about President Trump? You know the answer to that. Of course not. The new anti-free speech government program is only going to target conservative voices. By now it should be...

Seattle Bishop Approves Funeral for Gay Shaman Who Committed Suicide In 2014 Abp. Sartain approved the funeral Mass of a homosexual priest who abused 10 boys The archbishop of Seattle, Washington approved Catholic funeral rites for an active, unrepentant homosexual whose highly publicized suicide party involved "marrying" his gay partner while being accompanied by clairvoyants.  It's not the first time Abp. J. Peter Sartain has gotten in hot water over a funeral. In 2014 he was criticized for allowing the funeral Mass of a homosexual priest who had admitted to abusing as many as 10 boys. His funeral Mass was concelebrated by...

Catholic Intellectual and Man's Man, Hilaire Belloc, of 'Europe & the Faith' fame, noted the astonishing idea that 'the barbarians at Rome's gates were not trying to destroy Rome, they wanted in to BECOME ROMANS'. The migrants who are dying to get into America, would find no 'there there', no America worth dying to get to, if Marxist-Catholic American Bishops had their way. The American Bishops have just gone around the debates two generations ago during the Cold War, about the primary necessity of PRIVATE PROPERTY to ensure stability of societies for families and children. Now everything is 'compassion for...

The Justice Department Office of the Inspector General’s report released Aug. 29 clearly stated that James Comey violated and abused FBI policies in managing memos in which he supposedly documented confidential conversations with the president. This is a revelation that most of us have known for quite some time. However, Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz has yet again glossed over some major problems. It appears that the main reason Horowitz concludes former FBI Director James Comey only violated his FBI Employment Agreement and DOJ/FBI “policies” was because the documents he kept, disclosed, and leaked to improper parties were not considered...

JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: And Rick Tyler, here we go with the Republican Party again, here in the state of Alabama, a state I know well and love, but you can go around the country and see the Trump effect on one Republican Party after another, and it is truly distressing all in support of a president who says he's going to seize private lands and told his aides to do it illegally and he would pardon them. From a president who ordering private companies to move out of other countries, a guy who's running up the biggest debt ever, some...

Former Vice President Joe Biden is unapologetic for fabricating an emotional story about the war in Afghanistan, claiming its “essence” is true. Biden, who is under fire after The Washington Post exposed a story he told about pinning a medal on a reluctant Navy officer as inaccurate, defended his conduct while campaigning in South Carolina on Thursday. “I don’t understand what they’re talking about, but the central point is it was absolutely accurate what I said,” Biden told The Post and Courier when asked about the controversy. “He refused the medal. I put it on him, he said, ‘Don’t do...

Fresh from her transatlantic sailboat crossing, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was joined by hundreds of American teenagers on Friday at a protest outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City. They carried hand-drawn placards with messages such as "United behind the science" and "Act now or we will." And they chanted "System change, not climate change” and "Don't just watch us, join us," the Guardian of London reported. While boasting of a carbon-free trans-Atlantic trip, it turns out her sailing team will fly back to Europe and another team will fly to the U.S. to take the boat...

New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Radical New Progressive Left abhors guns as much from an aesthetic standpoint as from a political, social, and ethical one. Thus, they never fail to use a particularly tragic albeit rare instance of misuse of a firearm by the criminal and the occasional lunatic to denounce firearms ownership and possession generally, vociferously, and this is reflected in the question they ask and the manner in which they ask it: How can society protect itself from the “scourge” of guns? You will note that their professed concern is that of society, of the Collective, the Hive,...

A leftist shtick that been going on for some time in universities, government offices, and other haunts of the chronically offended is the idea of choosing one's own personal pronouns — and expecting the world to actually use them. Under this scheme, it would be politically correct for me to self-identify as: e.m. cadwaladr he/him/his The main point of this bold new level of wokeness is that a man who wants to entertain an essentially psychotic delusion that he's a woman may now style himself: Higgly-Piggly Doe she/her/hers If someone does not go along with such a man's mentally aberrant...

If you thought LGBTQ activists in the University of Kansas faculty were mad before, wait till you see them now. Following years of demands that the taxpayer-funded institution discriminate against a vendor because of its founders’ religious beliefs, the KU administration actually gave its Chick-fil-A restaurant a better place on campus, The Kansas City Star reports. Before you assume this was a bold move in favor of viewpoint diversity and fair treatment, it actually fits your other stereotype of universities: that they do everything for financial reasons. KU’s 10-year contract with Chick-fil-A requires upgrades to its location in the basement...

In Myanmar, Muslims are killing Buddhists and trying to destroy Buddhism in order to create an Islamic State. Aung San Suu Kyii would like to help the Bengali, but I block her,” says Ashin Wirathu with some pride. of bloody and gruesome photographs. The pictures show machete-inflicted head wounds and severed limbs, disfigured faces and slashed bodies; Wirathu claims, without the slightest evidence, that the images are of Buddhists who were attacked by Muslims. Next to the display, under which a monk is methodically sweeping the floor, stands a long table. The newspapers spread across it confirm that, for Wirathu’s...

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, Psalm 95:6-7 KJV What is it like to be today’s perfect liberal? You have to make sure every word is chosen correctly and every thought in perfect order.
