Conclave in View, Everyone Backing Away From FrancisFor the future conclave they do not set aside so much as a line. And yet, twin books recently released in Italy end up there inexorably.The first is entitled “La Chiesa brucia” and the second “Il gregge smarrito.” Both diagnose a poor state of health in the Church, with a marked deterioration during none other than the current pontificate.But their authors are by no means opponents of Pope Francis. The first book is signed by Andrea Riccardi, Church historian and founder of the Community of Sant’Egidio, highly influential with the pope, who often...

The government employed at least a dozen confidential informants to infiltrate groups of armed extremists who allegedly plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan, according to a new filing in federal court on Monday.The filing, made by one of the five defendants in the federal case, asked that prosecutors be ordered to share more information about those informants, their relationship with the FBI, and the specific roles they played in building the case. It came among a blizzard of 15 new defense motions in the high-profile case, including requests to move it to a different district, to suppress evidence from...

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District recently expanded one of its oldest preserves. The agency added 182.15 acres to the El Sereno Open Space Preserve that formerly belonged to the San Jose Water Company. The agency paid just over $1 million for the land, with funding from the California Wildlife Conservation Board. El Sereno sits just south of Saratoga and west of Los Gatos in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a public preserve, open to hikers, cyclists and horseback riders. The district has owned El Sereno since 1975, and in that time has expanded the public green space to more...

Exposure of highly deuterated materials to a low-energy (nom. 2 MeV) photon beam resulted in nuclear activity of both the parent metals of hafnium and erbium and a witness material (molybdenum) mixed with the reactants. Gamma spectral analysis of all deuterated materials, ErD2.8+C36D74+Mo and HfD2+C36D74+Mo, showed that nuclear processes had occurred as shown by unique gamma signatures. For the deuterated erbium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes of erbium (163Er and 171Er) and of molybdenum (99Mo and 101Mo) and by beta decay, technetium (99mTc and 101Tc). For the deuterated hafnium specimens, posttest gamma spectra showed evidence of radioisotopes...

Consumer prices have been rising precipitously this year. If you annualize the Consumer Price Index through the first five months of 2021, you get a CPI increase of over 6%. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell continues to push the narrative that inflation is transitory, but not everybody buys into this storyline. On the Wolf Street Report, Financial Analyst Wolf Richter said Powell’s temporary inflation is turning into an “inflation spiral.” Richter said some measure of inflation will likely tick down in the months ahead, but to steal Powell’s term, the relief will be transitory and only serve to offer false...

A Florida man pleaded guilty to planning a double-homicide, one he had hoped to blame on the Black Lives Matter movement. Daniel Slater, 51, of Palm Beach County, Fla., elocuted in a Fort Lauderdale federal district court that he had met with someone to plan the murder of his ex-girlfriend and her husband. The identity of his co-conspirator was not revealed. Among the revealed details of his plan, Slater said he instructed his accomplice which windows of the couple’s home to shoot through as well as instructions to spray-paint “Black Lives Matter” on the house. In return, Slater told his...

The data was reported to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a system of registering adverse vaccine reactions. Medical professionals report adverse events regarding their patients. The latest data revealed that between December 14, 2020, and May 28, a total of 438,441 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 9048 deaths. An earlier Harvard study however showed that VAERS reports typically cover only approximately 1 percent of the total adverse events from vaccines. All vaccines appear to have very low efficacy against the new Delta variant of Coronavirus and an even lower efficacy against the Lambda variant,...

The ACLU on Tuesday filed an amicus brief in support of Britney Spears as the pop star attempts to free herself from a 13-year conservatorship she called “abusive” in testimony last month. The ACLU filed the brief, along with 25 civil and disability organizations, in support of Spears’ wish to choose her own attorney, which is prohibited by the conservatorship. Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham III, resigned from the case last week. The brief, filed with the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, also calls for her to be given access to assistance and tools to make her selection for...

White environmentalists pat each other on the back for hurting low income black people. Environmental racism is real, and it’s caused by white liberals.By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)July 13, 2021This is absolutely disgusting. Western European countries claim to be “green” because so much of their energy comes from biomass. But this CNN article explains that this “green” biomass actually wreaks major havoc and destruction on the environment in areas of the southeastern U.S. which are home to low income black people.The fact that white environmentalists are patting each other on the back for doing this is totally...

Less than a month ago, Ebrahim Raisi was pulled out of the ballot box ‎by Khamenei as the President of Iran in a sham election boycotted by ‎the majority of Iranians. Meanwhile, the Iranian people are facing ‎many crises, including constant power and water outages in the ‎scorching heat of summer, as well as the staggering cost of goods so ‎much so that people can no longer afford even the most basic ‎necessities of simple living, resulting in nearly 80 percent of them ‎living below the poverty line. ‎ In a show of power, the regime's main and organized opposition,...

Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 11:20-24 Friends, today Jesus declares judgment on the towns of Galilee that did not believe in him and repent. He stands at the end of the long line of prophets God sent in order to reconcile his people to himself. Like the prophets before him, Jesus is ignored, mocked, and rejected. What happens as a result of man’s refusal of God? Not nothing. God’s judgment falls on the unfaithful nation. What is the instrument of God’s justice? One of the heathen nations, the Chaldeans, come and destroy the city of Jerusalem, burn the temple,...

In San Francisco many stores have closed and others have severely reduced their hours of operation since the California Legislature decriminalized stealing less than $950 worth of property at a time. Gangs now regularly raid stores and run off with their loot knowing that they won't be prosecuted for this "petty theft." Burglaries have increased by 60% over the prior year. Theft from vehicles is up by 750%. Homeless drug addicts and lunatics wander the streets accosting pedestrians to demand "spare change." Piles of human feces are so prevalent that they now appear on city maps. Rent and taxes are...
