For the first time in 41 years, Mount Washington Tavern in north Baltimore closed its doors Monday without its owners or staff knowing when they would reopen. Last week, the owners posted a message online saying with a heavy heart, they were closing the restaurant until dining restrictions designed to curb the spread of COVID-19 are lifted. “It feels surreal, it feels sad and heartbreaking,” manager and bartender Stephenie Moschera said. “Something we never thought we would have to do.” The decision to temporarily close was a tough one, she added. “Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the carryout business wasn’t enough...

Glass ceilings and phallic towers. Mean streets and dark alleys. Road names and statues of men. From the physical to the metaphorical, the city is filled with reminders of masculine power. And yet we rarely talk of the urban landscape as an active participant in gender inequality. A building, no matter how phallic, isn’t actually misogynist, is it? Surely a skyscraper isn’t responsible for sexual harassment, the wage gap, or even the glass ceiling, whether it has a literal one up top or not? That said, our built environments can still reflect patterns of gender-based discrimination. To imagine the city...

New York is back! No, I don't mean Rudy Giuliani's revived New York City. I mean the nightmarish New York City of Dinkins, Beame and Lindsay. I mean the Death Wish and Warriors city. And now Bill de Blasio's New York City before it's passed on to some even more nightmarishly incompetent and corrupt leftist whose only agenda is identity politics. New York City is back, baby.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh said the ban came as a surprise to him.EDINBURGH, Scotland, January 4, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Scotland has banned public worship across the country for the second time since the coronavirus crisis started almost a year ago. Speaking from Holyrood, Scotland’s devolved parliament, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon expressed “regret” for closing all places of worship to private prayers and regular services. Her justification for the ban, and other restrictions on the movements of people in Scotland, was an increase of reported COVID-19 infections. “It is with real regret that we consider...

Vatican City, Jan 4, 2021 / 12:00 pm MT (CNA).- Australia’s Catholic bishops are considering raising questions with the country’s financial watchdog authority about whether any Catholic organizations were among the recipients of billions of Australian dollars in transfers reputedly from the Vatican. AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial intelligence agency, revealed in December that the equivalent of around US$1.8 billion had been sent to Australia from the Vatican or Vatican-related entities since 2014. The money was reportedly sent in about 47,000 separate transfers. The transfers were first reported by the newspaper The Australian after being made public in response to a parliamentary...

I had Overstock-founder Patrick Byrne on my show recently and he used a term of art that stuck with me – ‘a thousand years of darkness.’ He was of course referring to the fall of Rome, which unleashed the Dark Ages, a thousand years of barbarity and medieval horror. The United States, and the world’s humanity for that matter, are now facing this existential threat. That is, if we do not act now, if we do nothing — the republic will die, and the ‘world’s policeman’, the ‘shining city on the hill’, the place where those ‘huddled masses yearning to...

Pope Francis on Sunday criticized people who traveled abroad during the pandemic “to escape the lockdown,” saying they were ignoring those who were suffering. In his weekly noontime Sunday address, Francis said, “I read in the papers something that quite saddened me: In a country — I don’t remember which — to escape the lockdown and have a good vacation more than 40 planes took off that afternoon.” “Those people are good people, but didn’t they think of those who stayed at home, to the economic problems of many people who have been knocked down by the pandemic, to those...

Mocks God as rapistDUBLIN (ChurchMilitant.com) - Ireland's Catholics are being urged to defund the nation's taxpayer-funded broadcaster after it televised a mock news report on New Year's Eve accusing God of raping the Blessed Virgin Mary. Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) One television issued a weak apology Saturday but refused to delete the clip from the RTÉ Player online catch-up service, stating that it would attach a warning advising viewers that the material may cause offense. The sacrilegious sketch, which features former RTÉ anchor Aengus Mac Grianna describing God as "the latest figure to be implicated in ongoing sexual harassment scandals,"...

In a video posted to YouTube on Monday, Turning Point USA founder and Republican activist Charlie Kirk explained the legal precedent for Vice President Mike Pence to reject state electors on Jan. 6, noting that similar powers have been invoked by Vice Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Richard Nixon. Kirk noted that during the 1960 presidential race between John Fitzgerald Kennedy and then-Vice President Richard Nixon, the state of Hawaii declared Nixon the victor and certified the results as such, prompting a challenge for recount by Kennedy. Though Kennedy eventually won the recount, the state of Hawaii had already selected a...

Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have reached an informal backroom deal to expedite the January 6 challenge in the Electoral College and end it with a simple majority vote after a two hour debate, multiple Capitol Hill sources have confirmed to National File. This comes after National File reported that McCarthy originally planned to work with Pelosi to change the January 6 rules so the challenge would not be allowed. McCarthy denied this, and our Capitol Hill sources now say that McCarthy instead pursued a backroom...

Before delving into why I think that Big Tech is the enemy of freedom, let me start by saying that I hate regulation. Like absolutely, 99%, in almost all situations hate it. In that vein, my thoughts about government intervention in the economy come more or less straight out of Atlas Shrugged and Free Market Revolution. That’s one of the reasons why Trump has had such a successful presidency and will win again in 2020; he has deregulated America to make it great again. But, in some rare circumstances, industry needs to be reigned in so that it doesn’t destroy...

Researchers have developed nanobots that can be injected using an ordinary hypodermic syringe, according to a new release. The nanobots are microscopic functioning robots with the ability to walk and withstand harsh environments. Each robot has a 70-micron length, which is about the width of a thin human hair, and a million can be produced from a single 4-inch silicon composite wafer.SNIPThese micro-robots feature four legs composed from graphene or platinum and titanium; they’re described by Miskin as “super strong,” enabling the nanobots to carry a body weighing about 8,000 times more than each leg. As well, each leg measures...
