I think that when the media report that Sanders plans new spending of $60 trillion over 10 years, the eyes of many people will glaze over. What's a trillion? A trillion is one thousand billion, and the population of the United States is about 1/3 of a billion. Therefore, every trillion of annual spending amounts to $3000 of spending per American. So extra annual spending of $6 trillion that Sanders has proposed amounts to $18,000 of spending per American. Do Americans think a family of 4 can afford $72,000 more in taxes a year? Even if you wrongly assume that...

February 26 2020 Ash Wednesday Reading 1 Jl 2:12-18 Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God.Blow the trumpet in Zion! proclaim a fast, call an assembly; Gather the people, notify the congregation; Assemble the elders, gather the children and the...

The coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan, China, last year is causing alarm across the world, with fear that this could become the next pandemic. Late last month, the World Health Organization declared the virus, named COVID-19, a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and urged an immediate international response. It advised its member states to put in place national preparedness plans and procedures for identifying and responding to any COVID-19 cases that might present. The death toll of more than 2,600 people far exceeds that of the SARS outbreak nearly 17 years ago.

Mitt Romney, who was the only Republican senator to break party lines and vote in favor of Donald Trump being impeached at his Senate trial earlier this month, is now attacking the president again. This time, the Utah senator is claiming that the Trump administration is totally unprepared for a potential coronavirus outbreak. As Trump tried to tamp concerns over the coronavirus in New Delhi, saying that the situation was “under control” and is a “problem that’s going to go away,” Romney was confronting officials in Washington D.C. at a private briefing on the virus. As a member of the...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Lenga Will Not Respect Sanctions “Christ gave me the authority through the Church to proclaim the Truth, and I will do this until I die,” retired Archbishop Jan Lenga, 69, declared after being de facto suspended by Włocławek Bishop Wiesław Mering, Poland.Although “forbidden” to speak to the media, Lenga told WRealu24.tv (February 22, video below) that neither Mering nor anyone else nor a downgrading will prevent him from proclaiming Christ. He calls on Francis and the "poor bishops" to convert.Michał Kołodziej writes on Twitter.com that Lenga recently began to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass and is in...

Almost half of all blacks and Hispanics who attend Harvard were admitted because of illegal racial preferences in admissions according to a brief just filed by the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice has filed a brief in a federal lawsuit filed by Students For Fair Admissions that says Harvard's race-based admissions process violates federal law. This filing marks a extreme departure from the Obama Civil Rights Division that spent significant time and resources seeking to expand the use of race in decision making. The brief filed by the Justice Department says Harvard "considers applicants’ race at virtually every...

25m CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world. It was opposed by the Dems, “too soon”, but turned out to be the correct decision. No matter how well we do, however, the..... ....Democrats talking point is that we are doing badly. If the virus disappeared tomorrow, they would say we did a really poor, and even incompetent, job. Not fair, but it is what it is. So far, by the way, we have not had one death. Let’s keep it that...

The Democratic presidential candidate said he spent $100 million to get it done New York billionaire and Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg bragged during a primary debate Tuesday night that with the tens of millions he spent to get Democrats elected in 2018, he "bought" back the House of Representatives for the party. "Let's just go on the record," Bloomberg said, speaking from the stage in Charleston, South Carolina. "They talk about 40 Democrats, 21 of those were people that I spent $100 million to help elect. All of the new Democrats that came in, put [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi...

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow tried on Tuesday to assuage concerns over the cornavirus and its impact on the U.S. economy. “We have contained this. I won’t say [it’s] airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight,” Kudlow told CNBC’s Kelly Evans on “The Exchange.” He added that, while the outbreak is a “human tragedy,” it will likely not be an “economic tragedy.” “There will be some stumbles. We’re looking at numbers; it’s a little iffy,” Kudlow said. “But at the moment ... there’s no supply disruptions out there yet.” Kudlow’s comments came as the stock market tanked for a...

"So that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects" (Col. 1:10). Your manner of life should be consistent with Christ’s. In Colossians 1:9 Paul speaks of being controlled by the knowledge of God's will. In verse 10 he speaks of walking in a manner worthy of the Lord. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between those verses. When you are controlled by the knowledge of God's will, you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. The Greek word translated "walk" means "to order one's behavior." It's a common New...

The U.S. Defense Department has awarded a multimillion-dollar contract for a system that would knock threatening missiles out of the sky. A company called Aerojet Rocketdyne was awarded $19.6 million to develop “enabling technologies” for the system, which will be known as Glide Breaker, it said earlier this month. “Advancing hypersonic technology is a national security imperative,” Eileen Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and president, said in a statement. “Our team is proud to apply our decades of experience developing hypersonic and missile propulsion technologies to the Glide Breaker program.” The Glide Breaker program is part of America’s efforts to counteract...

I’ve seen plenty of commentators worried about Michael Bloomberg trying to buy the election. But the money Bloomberg has spent on his campaign is a rounding error compared to the new spending Bernie Sanders is promising his voters in the form of free tuition, free health care, etc. if he is elected. A group called the Progressive Policy Institute now estimates that Sanders has proposed an additional $53 trillion in new spending over the next ten years. In January, the Progressive Policy Institute published comprehensive cost estimates of the proposals offered by each of the leading candidates for president...

Florida Democrats are settling almost equally on Mike Bloomberg, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders as their pick in the March 17 presidential primary, according to a new poll from Florida Southern College’s Center for Polling and Policy Research.
