September 16, 2020 Memorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, Martyrs Reading 1 1 COR 12:31-13:13 Brothers and sisters: Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and...

Rep.

Before Tuesday’s remarkable events began at the White House, Palestinians in the West Bank dutifully protested the decisions by the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Later, during the ceremony, Palestinians in Gaza fired two rockets into southern Israel, inflicting minor injuries on two civilians. The rage of the Arab Street ain’t what it used to be. Even the limited expressions of anger were mostly for television cameras. The Palestinians could have had their own state several times over the last two decades, but could never take yes for an answer, so now the train...

In case you missed it, Freeper palmer and I and many others I am sure caught this on C-SPAN live. It was part of Biden's "Trump hates veterans / he called them losers and suckers" lie, the anonymous-sourced Atlantic piece which has been totally discredited even by people who do not like Trump. This "Dodge Ram" story (link above) from Biden, however, was really quite a shock. It was only one year ago, by the way, that even CBS did a piece on another of Biden's false stories: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-biden-war-story-vice-president-2020-presidential-candidate-unapologetic-after-mistelling-military-story/ What's the deal on this bizarre "Dodge Ram" tale?

There is a latent and relatively unknown element of socialism we've all been living through during the coronavirus lockdowns: independence from all forms of social attachment. To properly identify this tenet of socialism, we must understand how socialism came to exist in both its modern iterations and its ideological inception. We must look at the work and thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau is the godfather and patron saint of not just socialism, but all liberalism. In his most celebrated work, The Social Contract (1762), Rousseau outlined his plan for the best method of governing human beings. The name he gave...

It’s just the flu, bro. Worldometer has deaths stagnating after drifting down for over a month and a half. I don’t see this being the start of a new wave - the drop off trend will continue. I still believe we will be under the death rate required for a national epidemic within three weeks. - The other number that policy makers seem to watch is the percentage of tests that are positive. The strictest standard is the WHO desire for this to be under 5%. The Dem governors, of course, prefer using this WHO standard. Many of the Northeast...

[Note: This piece is heavy on video content. Let’s all remember that Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates and Barack Obama directed hundreds of millions to this lab and its “research”. – Last night, Tucker Carlson interviewed a Chinese virologist named Dr. Li-Meng Yan.

When hearing talk of Democrats’ war on blacks, some may think of the 92 percent of black homicide victims murdered by other blacks mainly in Democrat-run cities. Others may ponder the 300,000 black babies killed yearly in the womb with the approval, sometimes tacit, sometimes more overt, of many white liberals. Yet there’s another front in this war, one more recently opened and far more insidious. When President Trump early this month ordered an end to mandatory “Critical Race Theory” (CRT) training in the federal bureaucracy — which sometimes involved compelling white male employees to write letters of apology to...

The Pope's guests included an actress who advocates for abortion and has played lesbian 'love' scenes in her films and a former socialist minister’s concubine.September 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis received 14 French ecological activists from widely different horizons on September 3, in a bid to show that the Catholic faith is not a prerequisite for commitment in favor of “Our Common Home.” Days after launching the World Day for Creation and calling for a “Jubilee for the Planet,” the Pope once more focused on Amazonia and the “wisdom” of its indigenous cultures, in an impromptu address from which...

On Aug. 29, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe informed congressional leaders that they would no longer get in-person briefings on election security because of “… unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information.” Their briefings, he said, would be limited to written, finished intelligence products. The following day, Mr. Ratcliffe explained to a television interviewer, “Within minutes of one of those briefings ending, a number of members of Congress went to a number of different outlets and leaked classified information for political purposes.” He added that his intention was to stop “a pandemic of information being leaked out of the intelligence community.”...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Archaeologists in Mexico said Tuesday they have identified a ship that carried Mayan people into virtual slavery in the 1850s, the first time such a ship has been found. The wreck of the Cuban-based paddle-wheel steamboat was found in 2017, but wasn’t identified until researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History checked contemporary documents and found evidence it was the ship “La Unión.” The ship had been used to take Mayas captured during an 1847-1901 rebellion known as “The War of the Castes” to work in sugarcane fields in Cuba. Slavery was illegal in...
