SEVENTH WEEK OF EASTER JOHN 17:20–26 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus prays for our unity with him and for us to be immersed in God’s love. “I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.” We are not simply supplicants or penitents, calling to God from without; we are sons and daughters, friends, calling to him from within. The Paschal Mystery is intelligible only in the light of the doctrine of the Trinity. God so loved the world that he...

As over 3,000 rockets are fired into Israel by Hamas, the establishment of the Democratic Party seems paralyzed over how to respond to the latest Middle East war. It is not just that they fear that the squad, Black Lives Matter, the shock troops of Antifa, and the woke institutions such as professional sports, academia, and the media are now unapologetically anti-Israel. They are in terror also that anti-Israelism is becoming synonymous with rank anti-Semitism. And soon the Democratic Party will end up disdained as much as was the British Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. The new core of the...

Transitionary therapy and genital mutilation surgery on children is legal in Texas. This is absurd, and when I am governor we will put an end to all of it. Video...

A federal judge in Texas this week blocked the Biden administration from prioritizing (grants) in a COVID-19 restaurant relief program by their race or gender.U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush nominee, said he believes plaintiff Philip Greer, a cafe owner, is likely to succeed in his lawsuit against the Small Business Association (SBA) as he granted a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO). [snip]“The Small Business Administration lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon...

If we had to criticize President Trump for anything, one gripe tops the list: his apparent enthusiasm for the so-called Covid-19 "vaccines" (they aren't!) that are harming or even killing so many worldwide and the way he takes credit for them and has even encouraged Americans to bare their arms for the jab. It seems so out-of-character for him. A glaring blind spot. When a spokesman for the Administration-in-Exile told the Press that President and Mrs. Trump had taken the jab in January, I didn't believe a word of it. It doesn't jive with President Trump's outspoken skepticism about vaccines...

In an interview for Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders,” Atlas, a public health policy expert, suggested that the consequences of lockdowns, which he believes have been largely fear-driven, will be felt in the country for decades to come. The lockdowns implemented to curb the transmission of COVID-19 in the United States and across the globe have not only been a “heinous abuse of power,” but they have also failed to protect the elderly and vulnerable, according to former White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Scott Atlas. “We will have a massive price to pay for what was done in the United...

Have you noticed that the left in America seems to be even more detached from reality today than in years past? I have. I hear various theories all the time. The left is just “misinformed.” They’re “brainwashed.” They have a “psychological block” that prevents them from seeing the truth. While all of these have bits of evidence that could support them from a biased perspective, we’ve all known leftists who are fully informed, not brainwashed any more than the rest of us, and with seemingly valid reasons for their ideology. Before we get into why it seems America’s left is...

By: WEWS StaffPosted at 5:38 PM, May 19, 2021 and last updated 2:38 PM, May 19, 2021 MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — Brendon Hrepic says he is still shocked that COVID-19 caught up with him when WEWS spoke with him via Zoom from his hospital bed. “The doctor that I saw at the ER was like ‘you are literally the worse case that I’ve ever seen post-vaccination,’” said Hrepic. The 31-year-old essential worker from Mayfield Heights said he did everything right throughout the pandemic, from social distancing to masking up.

Tennessee lawmakers have accused President Joe Biden's administration of secretly flying migrant children into their state without consulting them – as Kamala Harris faces growing pressure to visit the southern border to address the crisis. Several videos obtained by WRCB-TV Channel 3 show a handful of planes carrying minor migrants arriving at Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center during overnight hours. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a statement the transportation of migrants there is taking place in 'the dead of night without the knowledge or permission of the communities involved.' A source with direct knowledge of the operation revealed somewhere up...

Texas real estate developer Don Huffines, who is widely expected to self-fund his primary campaign against Gov. Greg Abbott, released a new ad featuring Jeff Younger – the father of 9-year-old James Younger, who identifies as a boy with his father but is being forced to wear dresses and identify as a girl by his mother – that slams Abbott for his refusal to take a pivotal stand on the issue of child gender transition surgeries and chemical castration. The ad, posted to the official Don Huffines Twitter account this morning, begins with a monologue from Younger. “I live in...

Walgreens has closed 17 stores in Democrat-run San Francisco due to rampant shoplifting problems created by voters. If you love watching Democrats get exactly what they voted for, read on… Feel-good stories don’t make me feel any gooder than this beauty… By a margin of 60 to 40 percent, the idiots of California basically legalized shoplifting. Proposition 47, which passed in 2014, no longer made it a felony to steal if the value of what you steal doesn’t exceed $950. It’s also no longer a felony to receive stolen property valued at less than $950. And so…

When it comes to other products, practically everyone expects a warranty or some type of liability among the manufactures. However with this injection, millions are perfectly fine with zero recourse should something go wrong.

A shocking video from Tuesday showed an 11-year-old girl bravely fighting off a man who was trying to kidnap her at a school bus stop in Escambia County, Florida. Now Alyssa Bonal is speaking out about what was going through her mind at the time and what she remembered about the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Jared Paul Stanga. “What is he going to do with me? Where is he going to […] where am I going to be at? What is my family going to think?” Alyssa recalled thinking, telling WKRG that she was “scared” and “anxious.” But Alyssa had...

In another Very Florida story, a woman with a colorful criminal history has spent the last year collecting media accolades and a half-million dollars in donations by accusing the Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, of fudging the state’s COVID numbers. Rebekah Jones, website designer (not “scientist,” as the media insistently claim), falsely accused DeSantis of doing what Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York actually was doing with the COVID numbers. From the extensive media coverage, I figured maybe the DeSantis administration was taking advantage of gray areas to make the state’s record look as good as possible. Not as...

“I've given up expecting Michael to do the right thing. Or the decent thing. Or even the comprehensible thing.” -Dwight, The Office (2011)It has been hard, during the recent gas shortage in parts of the U.S., to feel too bad for the people it’s afflicted. They have swallowed every piece of climate dogma hook, line, and sinker; they have voted resoundingly for failed Democrat policies over and over and again; they rejected the energy independence of President Trump for a zombie politician hellbent on making Jimmy Carter look like he did a good job. Granted, the recent havoc wreaked because...

Morgan Wallen refuses to be canceled. The Country music star returned to the stage for the first time since his racial slur controversy and he chose to perform at Kid Rock’s Nashville bar. Kid Rock joined Wallen on the stage in Nashville in an epic show of support as the “Wasted On You” singer stood strong in his first live performance in months. The crowd was thrilled to see his return and sang along as the music filled the famed bar.

One of the slimiest politicians in the nation is now under federal investigation. The federal government is expanding its probe into New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo is already under investigation by both the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn over reports his office deliberately hid data on how many deaths resulted from his pandemic nursing home policy, which mandated that long-term and adult care facilities accept recovering COVID-19 patients even if they were still testing positive for the virus. The feds are now looking into whether Gov. Cuomo gave his...

In 2008, shortly after becoming a U.S. senator, Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and her husband, John Bessler, began renting a house in Arlington, Virginia, from Chuck Todd, then NBC News’ political director. I unveil the ties between Todd and Democratic campaigns in my explosive new book, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruptions.

A group of five rural Oregon counties is considering seceding from the state to escape Democrat control and, instead, join neighboring Republican-led Idaho. The cluster of counties voted on Tuesday to consider plans to break away from the Beaver State.
