Is Cardinal Woelki Being Targeted Because of His Concerns About Germany’s Synodal Path?VATICAN CITY — At the same time as a newly leaked document shows just how determined German Church leaders are to push their synodal path, one of the controversial initiative’s most prominent critics, Cardinal Rainer Woelki of Cologne, is being targeted by opponents over his alleged failures regarding the handling of an abuse allegation.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is pressing Democrat President Joe Biden to answer for what he calls dangerous immigration policies which are leading to flooding of the nation with “unvaccinated” illegal aliens capable of further spreading the coronavirus within America’s borders.

On Wednesday night, Senator Lindsey Graham told Sean Hannity that the “not guilty” vote grew on Wednesday after the House Impeachment Managers put on an “absurd” presentation.This is obviously terrible news for Democrats.“Let me tell your viewers, the not guilty vote is growing after today. I think most Republicans found the presentation by the House managers offensive and absurd. We all know what happened at the Capitol was terrible,” he said.“But I don’t remember any of these House managers saying a damn thing when they were trying to break into my house and going after Susan Collins and spitting on...

Biden plans to ask Congress this month to invest heavily in infrastructure amid studies showing close to half of U.S. roads are in poor or mediocre condition and more than a third of U.S. bridges need repair, replacement or significant rehabilitation. The focus on infrastructure signals Biden, a Democrat, will seek to prioritize some policy areas that appeal to both parties, after his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 aid package winds its way through Congress in coming days without significant Republican support. "There are not many Republican or Democratic roads and bridges," Biden said ahead of the meeting. "I really, honest to...

What if our problem isn’t political, but moral?As I look at America, a moral shell of what it once was, filled with men and women who have lost their way, have very little understanding of truth, and who seem endlessly led astray to the point where they know not where they are or where they going, I realize that Americans have been lured away by vanities. Vanities in the dictionary is defined as being worthless, pointless or futile. When they should be focused on serious issues that face our nation, most Americans can’t be bothered as they are currently distracted.I...

The Lincoln Project was founded by a group of rabidly anti-Trump Republican and former Republican consultants. Their attack ads, often tougher than those produced by Democrats, were a huge hit with the rabidly anti-Trump Resistance. The Lincoln Project paired those ads with an aggressive fundraising effort, and the money poured in, mostly in small donations: more than $90 million in all. Where did the money go? It's been known for a while that the Lincoln Project directed a lot of the donors' money to companies that just happened to be controlled by members of the Lincoln Project. A new article...

The intelligence of pigs has long been renowned — and scientists in the US have now found that they are clever enough to be able to use computer joysticks. Researchers from Purdue University in Indiana said they were able to train four pigs to carry out a “joystick operated video game task” to get treats. The pigs’ success rate in the task was described by researchers as “remarkable, and indicative of their behavioral and cognitive flexibility.” The animals — a pair of two-year-old Panepinto micro pigs and two three-month-old Yorkshire pigs — were trained to manipulate a joystick in order...

Disney was “looking for a reason to fire [Gina Carano] for two months, and today was the final straw,” The Hollywood Reporter noted this week. “The Mandalorian” star might as well have been drop-kicked to the bottom of the ocean on the planet Maldo Kreis after she annoyed Hollywood libs by joking about two points of Holy Liberal Orthodoxy. SNIP What Gina Carano said was stupid, but a lot less stupid than what Pedro Pascal said. If we’re going to cancel everybody in Hollywood for stupidity, then we’d be deprived of the talents of Mark Ruffalo (9/11 truther), Kylie Jenner...

If you're standing at the perfect spot (somewhere near the Crystal Fountain), you'll get to see a spectacular sight on the mall's gigantic LED displays.
