A short video of what seems to part of his homily shows him talking about the Catholic view on dating.“Dating for us is not like Globo [a major TV network in Brazil] showed...

While COVID-19 vaccination rates may lag among some groups, that's not the case for practicing physicians in the United States. More than 96% are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions, according to a new survey from the American Medical Association. Even among the 4% not yet vaccinated, 45% said they do plan to get their vaccine. "Practicing physicians across the country are leading by example, with an amazing uptake of the COVID-19 vaccines," said Dr. Susan Bailey

One year after the movement to "defund" police saw cities slash budgets and cut funding, the U.S. has seen an uptick in crime. Homicides alone are up 24% since January and more than 70% of people in a recent Fox News Poll said they believe crime is on the rise nationally. As a result, the pendulum may be swinging back in favor of the police. "Now some cities are refunding the police department," FOX Business’s Stuart Varney said on Varney & Co. Cities like New York City, Oakland, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Los Angeles are planning to reinstate tens of...

Matthew 24 [3] And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? [4] And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: [5] For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. During the period leading up to the Jewish-Roman War that culminated in the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., there were several supposed messiahs in Judea who...

It only got worse from there as Yeonmi realized that every one of her classes at the Ivy League school was infected with what she saw as anti-American propaganda, reminiscent to the sort she had grown up with. "’American Bastard' was one word for North Koreans" Park was taught growing up. "The math problems would say 'there are four American bastards, you kill two of them, how many American bastards are left to kill?'"

Dear All, Two terms we throw around here a lot when discussing H-1B visas are outsourcing and offshoring. While it’s easy to conflate the two, they are not the same, even though both describe tactics used to displace American workers. Outsourcing occurs when a company contracts a job to a third-party. For example, in 2015, Disney outsourced their IT operations to Cognizant and HCL. Like many other Fortune 500 companies, Disney concluded that their American W-2 employees were expensive, undeserving, and expendable. So, they laid them off and outsourced the jobs to third-party IT staffing firms operating in the U.S....

I think I can still hear them partying in the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin and his inner circle are toasting each other with shots of vodka and loud singing. I can’t understand Russian, but I recognize the tune – “Happy Days Are Here Again.” After the thrashing Putin gave to President Joe Biden at their “summit” meeting in Switzerland this week, the devilish former KGB operative has every reason to celebrate. Someone asked me on a scale of 1 to 10 what score I’d give to Biden for his G7 meeting in Britain and his one-on-one meeting with Putin in Geneva....

Prime Minister Sánchez announces the relaxation of the anti-pandemic law a week in advance Weeks of speculation regarding a possible lifting of the legal requirement to wear facemasks in public throughout Spain was ended on Friday morning by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who announced that the obligatory anti-pandemic measure will at last be relaxed on Saturday 26th June.

Hello everyone. I am going to be travelling through your state this summer and I want to hear about everything fun, interesting, or weird going on in your state. It can be something you like to do or just something odd you have heard about. Don’t leave anything you might think of out. Art museum or worlds largest wad of prechewed gum? Skydiving or knitting championship? Where is a good fishing spot? What cave should I explore? What is the best view? Where do your local monsters live and what paranormal oddities have you heard of? Tractor pulls? Classical music...

The Lakeville School district says it stands against racism and bigotry, and is committed to creating a more inclusive environment for all students. But some families say what is being said and being done is sending mixed messages. A group of teachers initially inquired about the BLM posters. The district says anything political is against district policy, and the BLM posters may be seen as political. The school district did state it will offer opportunities for students, staff and families to provide feedback and dialogue with administration through listening sessions, and will have more information about those efforts in the...

Parents at Tustin Unified School District in Orange County, CA, are demanding answers after discovering their children were given a “White Savior Complex Assignment” and were administered a “Healthy Kids’ survey (which included racial questions) without parental knowledge. Emails, meetings with school administrators, and questions presented at Board meetings were met with little response and few answers. Parents ultimately submitted a Public Records Request demanding all information and communications regarding Critical Race Theory. On June 2, 2021, parents received files from the District which only heightened concerns that Critical Race Theory was being woven into the school curriculum. The Public...

Both houses in '22/WH in '24. The long term plan is to plant the seed in our millennials-75 million of them and they need to remember in '24 what was brought up in '22. Hispanic voters got it in '20 and we can build on it. It makes Trump more important. Millennials are 40 and under-old enough to start thinking long term-at least 2 years. 1) SSI-Tell them they're getting screwed! Won't be there for them. Promise reform in '22, let the rats veto, then talk it up more in '24-teachable & can tap into their resentment like the rats...

A dozen years ago a radio engineer dying of cancer invented a treatment where metal particles were treated to attach to cancer cells so the cancer cells would be cooked and destroyed on exposure to a radio wave. https://www.newsweek.com/2015/07/31/kanzius-cancer-machine-gets-its-first-human-trial-355758.htmlNow people are finding that the food we are eating that is processed in China is magnetic, meaning it contains metal. https://youtu.be/rrqMJm8M0ZcIf we are eating food containing metal, we will contain metal. The globalists are Hell-bent on installing 5G cell towers all around the world that are capable of emitting much more powerful radio waves than previous generations. This would be a...

I love this one! Read it. It basically says that if the fed wants to come knocking on your door over a federal gun law, they will be on their own. Where I live, they can't round up enough feds to play with a Ouija board!

At least two teachers in Rhode Island have been busted offering students bonus points to defend Critical Race Theory during school board meetings, either in person or through written testimonies. Documents obtained by Parents Defending Education (PDE) revealed that two teachers in Barrington, Rhode Island, offered five bonus points to each student on their next test if they defended CRT. The teachers, Alison Grieco and Jennifer Bergevine, were trying to stop House Bill 6070, which prohibits the “teaching of divisive concepts.” “The legislation aims to prevent the teaching of critical race theory, which includes concepts that ‘an individual, by virtue...

Selling Beer and Making Whoopee: A Note on Juneteenth“The time has come in Dallas when the Juneteenth celebration has about gotten down to a contest over the question as to who will sell beer to the crowd. Unless it rises above this dirty place it should be stopped, for the celebration is a farce, a veritable nuisance which should be abated.” Dallas Morning News (July 4, 1903)I do not know who has the beer concession for our new Federal Juneteenth holiday; but have no doubt the celebration will be well supplied with “beer.” By “beer” I mean the gassy and...

It stands 14 feet tall, holds 1,000 gallons of fuel and can work close to an acre-and-a-half a minute. At 36,000 pounds, its eight 8-foot-tall tires alone weigh as much as a conventional farm tractor. “We just kind of spiffed it up and took it out and farmed with it,” Robert Williams said. “This tractor has never just sat around. It has worked its whole life.” PULLING AN 80-foot tiller at speeds up to 8 miles per hour, Big Bud can work approximately 1.4 acres of ground per minute with a fuel economy of three-quarters of a gallon per acre....
