… “It’s time to stop comparing Trump to Hitler,” Reiner said in a tweet last Thursday. “Trump is his own unique brand of Criminal Sociopath.” “We have to keep saying this: Donald Trump led a deadly attack to overthrow the United States Government,” Reiner said in a tweet on Friday. “To preserve Democracy, he must be held accountable.” …

Hey you! Yeah you, pastor! Is your church boring? Is your congregation leaving in droves to go to the cool church down the street that has hot worship leaders and laser lights? You gotta fix that. Here's how to make sure your bored congregants come back next Sunday. 1) Offer VIP backstage passes to meet the pastor: As the pastor, you are a celebrity and everyone wants to meet you. Offer exclusive VIP passes to the first 20 people! 2) Challenge the pastor of the church across the street to a cage fight: Bible teaching is fine, but what people...

Lott told me on the Adult in the Room podcast that he’d never heard of a dress rehearsal for a graduation– and he’s spoken at more than a few graduations. He offered to give them his talking points by phone, but they insisted that he be there in person because “there would be thousands of people [at the graduation], it’s just really important that everything go smoothly.” They also wanted him to change his rah, rah graduation speech to take on a decidedly more political tone. They asked him to include a discussion of Madison’s Second Amendment and criminal background...

Bishop Paprocki uses Canon Law to set aside Bergoglio's demonic action against the Holy Mass, But what about Wagga Wagga? The Most Reverend Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the American Diocese of Springfield in Illinois has used Canon Law to literally set aside Bergoglio's demonic attack on the Holy Mass according to its ancient use. At the same time other bishops are being punitive and acting to or more than to this wretched document such as the Bishop of Wagga Wagga in Australia, Mark Edwards, "'The Extraordinary Form of our Mass, also called the Traditional Latin Mass, is to...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a press conference Wednesday, calling his handling of the proposed Jan. 6 investigation “despicable and disgraceful.” -snip- McCarthy responded to Pelosi blocking the two members of Congress — Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN) — by pulling all five Republicans he had nominated. Cheney, who was nominated by Pelosi to serve on the committee, said she agreed with the move from the Democratic leader. “January 6th was the worst attack on this Capitol since 1814. It was an attack on our Constitution,” Cheney said. She...

snip-- The government has documented at least 12 confidential informants who assisted the sprawling investigation. The trove of evidence they helped gather provides an unprecedented view into American extremism, laying out in often stunning detail the ways that anti-government groups network with each other and, in some cases, discuss violent actions. An examination of the case by BuzzFeed News also reveals that some of those informants, acting under the direction of the FBI, played a far larger role than has previously been reported. Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the...

LOS ANGELES - Shoplifters hit TJ Maxx in Granada Hills on Monday in a brazen robbery captured on video. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, two unidentified suspects entered the store between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. and grabbed dozens of items each. The pair was captured on bystander video leaving the store without paying and the LAPD later said that the pair "refused to pay." This happened at the TJ Maxx located at 18045 Chatsworth Street in Granada Hills. "That looks great," the bystander who took the video can be heard saying as the pair headed towards the door...

A federal appeals court rendered a decisive victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislative Republicans last year in upholding Florida’s law requiring felons to pay all fines, fees, and restitution before they can win back the right to vote under 2018’s Amendment 4. But that ruling didn’t quite kill every challenge to the law, known as SB 7066. Novel claims asserting violation of the Nineteenth Amendment, which extended to women the right to vote, are still alive and headed for oral arguments on Thursday in Atlanta. "Neither the Supreme Court nor this court has ever addressed the appropriate legal standard...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responds to Pelosi blocking Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Jim Evans by pulling all five of his GOP nominees for the committee. Does she want to seek truth or just stigmatize Trump voters? The answer came into sharp focus today.Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday that she is using her power to reject two Congressmen picked for her Select Committee investigating January 6th: Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Jim Banks. Two men likely to ask tough questions that challenge the Democratic narrative about that day.Said Pelosi, Said JordanSaid Pelosi, “The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands...

As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in California — mainly driven by the spread of the more contagious delta variant among unvaccinated people — Gov. Gavin Newsom has mostly been quiet on whether the state would reimpose certain restrictions. He has previously stated that a new statewide indoor mask mandate (as recommended and required by some counties) is unnecessary if vaccinations continue to increase. However, with vaccination rates slowing down, some have suggested implementing mandatory vaccine passports — or requiring proof of vaccination to enter certain businesses or events — to compel unvaccinated people to get the vaccine....

There was a moment early in the first half of the United States women's national team's opening match of its Olympic campaign when midfielder Rose Lavelle, dribbling into Sweden's half with the ball at her feet, looked around furiously and put her hands out, as if she was lost. Even without being able to hear what she said in Tokyo's cavernous Ajinomoto Stadium, it's easy to imagine it was something along the lines of, "Where is everyone?" That, in a nutshell, was how the USWNT began its 2020 Olympics, looking confused in a 3-0 loss to open Group G. The...

Forty years ago there was a great show on NBC called Hill Street Blues. It was an early player in the gritty police drama genre, a-la The Wire or Bosch. The ensemble show was led by Daniel J. Travanti playing Capt. Frank Furillo and his love interest, the stunning Veronica Hamel as public defender Joyce Davenport. In one episode the police had arrested a suspect for a particularly heinous crime and Davenport was his attorney. There was a giant mob in front of the jail demanding the suspect’s head. Furillo knew the suspect was guilty but the man refused to...

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. ( 2 Timothy 2:13-14)To the Church has been vouchsafed a precious deposit, the Truth of the Gospel. God has given us a Revelation from Him, which we are to be the custodians of. The Church is to “teach all nations” , and to ever fight to keep this precious deposit from corruption and distortion which would inevitably be attempted by the...

Visiting Los Angeles a week ago—before the mask mandate officially came back—I had one of those moments in which what has become familiar suddenly seems strange, and you see it clearly for what it is. I was in line for coffee at a store where all the baristas had to wear masks. Standing among the maskless patrons and watching my fellow Americans shuffle about behind the counter, I realized that I was witnessing the spiritual formation of a permanent underclass before my very eyes. These kids were being forced into faceless servitude by a regime that makes it too risky...

He’s Culpable. He’s Lying About It. And He Needs to Be Held Accountable” – Sen. Ron Johnson Says It’s Time to Go After Fauci for Funding Gain-of-Function Research, Lying About It Under Oath

Sports Journalist Jason Whitlock called out “multimillionaire social activist athletes” such as LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick for staying silent about the shooting outside Washington Nationals Park on July 17. On Saturday night, gunshots rang out outside the Washington Nationals ballpark, sending terrified fans running for their lives. You can see the pandemonium for yourself in the video below.

An Alabama doctor has warned that it’s “too late” to administer the COVID-19 vaccine when patients are in the hospital fighting for their lives. Dr. Brytney Cobia, who works at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, said she’s forced to turn down desperate pleas from COVID-19 patients to be given the vaccine before they’re placed on ventilators. “I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia on Facebook on Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m...
