I remember despising the 2015 movie The Big Short for its cavalier representation of what was truly terrible carnage. Like many, the 2008 shorting of mortgage stock, and the pooling of solid mortgages with garbage ones, was devastating on the economy, and upended people’s lives. This is probably why what they have sought to do to us during the pandemic hasn’t completely taken me by surprise; I have already been chewed up by someone’s idea of gaming system.Between 2008-2010, my husband and I had lost two residences, our jobs, and our lives were reduced to our two dogs and what...

Fascbook is doubling down.Since the violence at the Capitol our dear leader, the almighty Zuck, has sought out to silence dissent against his comrades in the Democrat party. While of course Fascbook is free to do as they please as a private company, somehow claiming to be a free and open forum at the same time is a bit disingenuous. Their actions continue to threaten the free exercise of speech by individuals and by the press, as numerous personal accounts have been suspended for alleged “hate speech” and seemingly innocuous articles posted by news organizations on only one side of...

The inauguration of Joe Biden, the nation's second Catholic president and a regular churchgoer, not surprisingly resulted in a slew of secular media coverage of the president's faith, as religion reporters seem to breathe a sigh of relief that the new commander in chief actually practices religion, rather than crassly abuses it. Biden's invitation of Washington Cardinal Wilton Gregory to pray at an Inauguration Day eve memorial to honor those who have died of COVID-19, combined with his decision to start Jan. 20 with morning Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, set the tone for what portends...

I see people on forums and on the news talking about fighting the evil that we are facing in US and in the world as a whole. How can we fight back is the question and honestly I wish they would stop. It's way passed that time. The Lord has told us that the last days evil would over take the world. You can't stop it, but you can certainly be run over by it. You can also be part of the problem. The earth was never meant to be infinite. It was created so that mankind might be tested....

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says former President Donald Trump on Thursday committed to helping Republicans retake Congress in 2022. Trump met with McCarthy (R-Calif.) at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida — where Trump moved after leaving the White House on Jan. 20. “Today, President Trump committed to helping elect Republicans in the House and Senate in 2022. A Republican majority will listen to our fellow Americans and solve the challenges facing our nation. Democrats, on the other hand, have only put forward an agenda that divides us — such as impeaching a President who is now a...

Coca-Cola said it will require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States — and reduce payments if they don’t comply. The Atlanta-based beverage giant’s general counsel, a recent hire from the top ranks of Ford, disclosed the changes in a letter Thursday to law firms the company uses. “Quite simply, we are no longer interested in discussing motivations, programs, or excuses for little to no progress – it’s the results that we are demanding and will measure going forward,” Bradley Gayton wrote. And he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he hopes other major companies...

By Executive Order one of the first powers of the pen was to allow biological males into the ladies room effectively taking away the right of woman and girls to have their modesty affirmed and protected under the law. The living power of the Word of God tells women to be modest. By the power of our natural, essential and inalienable rights granted by God and enumerated by the constitution and codified in our bodies of law, women, we take our rights back. By common definition, it is now our right to set the parameters of what a Ladies Room...

The entire reaction to The 'Rona throughout 2020 was designed to put Trump into a bad light. He is the world's most bullied man.

A coalition of 15 Catholic priests working in Cuba defied the Communist Party and decades of Vatican distance from Cuban politics to publish a letter this weekend urging the Cuban people to “co-involve” themselves in their own liberation from communism and work to “break the chains” of the Castro regime. The letter, published in English by the U.S.-based human rights organization Global Liberty Alliance, states plainly, “Cuba needs political changes.” “We, as believers, consider that it is time, as a people, to return to God,” the priests write. The letter was published to coincide with the 23rd anniversary of Pope...

Historic All Saints Church — called the “St. Patrick’s of Harlem” — is about to be sold, The Post has learned. The Catholic Archdiocese of New York shuttered the church in 2015 and the landmark building, along with its adjacent school and parish house, which occupy an entire block, have stood empty since. A spokesman for the Archdiocese would not provide any details on the pending sale. “There is no final agreement in place; things are in process,” said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese. The church at East 129th Street and Madison Avenue dates to 1883 and was...

Hunter Biden continues to hold a 10% stake in the Chinese private equity firm BHR Partners, Chinese business records show, despite multiple reports from December suggesting he was divesting his position in the company. Both the Daily Mail and Fox News reported in late December that Hunter Biden was in the process of offloading his stake in BHR. Both outlets cited an unnamed source with Hunter Biden and his business dealings. But Hunter Biden continues to hold his equity stake in BHR through his company, Skaneateles LLC, as of Wednesday, according to Qixinbao and Baidu, two independent services that provide...

God uses some methods repeatedly such as when evaluating people and nations. He gives them opportunities to succeed and to change. At some point when the person or nation fails and refuses to change He declares them condemmed. Such as He did with Pharaoh; after Pharaoh hardened his heart three or four times with each of those plagues God hardened Pharaohs heart before each of the remaining plagues. King Josiah reign was just such the opportunity for Isreal. After a long line evil kings, Josiah became King and made many improvements: taking down idols, reinstituted the worship of God. And...

QUEBEC CITY (CNS) -- The Archdiocese of Quebec announced its intention to reorganize its parishes to focus on local missionary activities. This move comes as human and material resources continue to diminish. At least 75% of the parishes will be affected by this change, in both urban and rural areas. In a video, Cardinal Gerald Lacroix stressed that the church of Quebec was born out of mission. But, he said, it is now clear that the parish system that had a strong impact on French Canadian society is not sustainable and needs to evolve. "We can no longer be satisfied...

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), an ethics watchdog group, filed a sentencing memorandum with the federal court in Washington, D.C., calling upon Judge James E. Boasberg, who also presides over the secret Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court (FISC), to sentence former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith to prison instead of probation at his public virtual sentencing hearing Friday morning at 11:00 a.m. NLPC also called upon the judge to require Clinesmith to make a video about his crime and express remorse to be used by the Justice Department for their ethics training program for all DOJ and FBI attorneys. In...

CNA Staff, Jan 25, 2021 / 02:01 pm MT (CNA).- An appeals court last week ruled for a second time against a California church which challenged the state’s rules barring in-person worship services for much of the state, deciding that a total ban on indoor worship services in most areas of the state is justified to block the spread of coronavirus. The same court ruled Jan. 25 to prevent the state from enforcing fixed numerical attendance limits in areas where indoor worship is allowed, in favor of limits based on percentage of the house of worship’s capacity. South Bay United...
