The despotic governor of New York and may of New York City have grand plans, all of which will inevitably spread through America. As we continue our journey through the eternal Corona madness that has forever changed our lives, it’s hard to believe that New York was once known as The Empire State. The only Empire that exists today is the socialist kingdom that generations of corrupt Democrats established by making election rigging a fine art. Summer is supposed to be the best time in NY. We have great weather, magnificent beaches and riverfronts, as well as streams and lakes...

KASHIMA-SHI, Japan - Jessie Fleming scored on a penalty kick in the 74th minute to help the Canadian women's soccer team to a 1-0 semifinal victory over the United States on Monday at the Tokyo Games. American defender Tierna Davidson was called for a foul after her left foot hit Deanna Rose's leg just inside the penalty area as they chased a loose ball. Ukrainian referee Kateryna Monzul pointed to the penalty spot after a VAR review. American goalkeeper Adrianna Franch dived to the correct side but couldn't get a piece of Fleming's powerful right-footed shot. Canada will next play...

Troubling drone footage emerged online Sunday that reportedly showed up to 1,000 migrants being held by border patrol in Mission, Texas, prompted criticism from Republicans who said the footage underscores the crisis at the border. "An absolute catastrophe from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and House & Senate Democrats," Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., posted on Twitter. She retweeted a post from Bill Melugin, a Fox News national correspondent. He said the footage showed the "largest group of migrants we’ve ever seen being held by Border Patrol under Anzalduas Bridge in Mission, TX."...

If it looks like a plan, it just might be a plan. Only if Americans are too fearful to leave their homes to vote can the left count on winning. Only the necessity of mail-in ballots can guarantee their wins. The new mask mandates, the fearmongering over the this or that variant, are all of a piece: The left must cheat to win and they know cheating is their only way to victory. As evidence mounts that the vaccines do not work, that the antibodies do not last, that they are creating the variants as the virus seeks survival around...

If only we had a party of streetfighters in our corner. Of the many life lessons my high school wrestling coach taught me, one such gem resonates with me 39 years hence: "Boy Scouts don't win street fights." I find that truism uniquely relevant to today's political pickle. The late Andrew Breitbart observed that politics is downstream from culture. One upshot thereof is that being the minority party does not absolve elected representatives of their duties. As we saw from 2017–2020, the left has taken to heart the old axiom about the squeaky wheel — despite not having the votes...

Cheery Dr. Anthony Fauci was on television again Sunday warning us “things are going to get worse” with COVID-19. It’s the Delta variant of the virus that is to blame for putting us back in masks, the nation’s top infectious disease expert told ABC’s Jonathan Karl. Fauci didn’t mention all the other Greek letters of the alphabet lining up to do us harm. There’s always something. Like the Lambda variant which apparently comes from, guess where? South America. This one is said to be worse than all the other letters. So why the hell is the southern border wide open?...

The ridiculous mask kabuki that Lame Duck Dictator Nancy Pelosi is attempting to impose upon the Party of Freedom is the perfect opportunity for the GOP to demonstrate that it is not a flock of hapless, wriggling invertebrates. A little spine shown right about now would go a long way, not only to winning back Congress in 2022 by an even bigger margin than currently anticipated but to fixing the institution that power-mad harridan has grievously damaged. It might mean accepting that Republicans will be booted from the House for a bit, but who cares? We have zero input anyway....

Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in an interview with Healthline published Friday that the country can stop the Chinese coronavirus “in its tracks” if everyone wears a mask until more are vaccinated. Healthline asked the CDC director if she agrees with former CDC director Tom Frieden’s estimation that “we could get to 200,000 new cases a day.” “I’ve seen modeling data. Some of the modeling data do go up that high. Not all of them do. Do I think it’s possible? Yes, I think it’s possible,” she said. “What I do want...

All of the readings in this Sunday’s Mass speak of human desire. In the first reading, the Israelites in the desert are hungry, so are the people by the lakeside with Jesus in the Gospel reading, and in the Epistle, St. Paul warns of deceitful desires. In all these passages, God teaches us that our desires are ultimately directed to Him, who alone can truly satisfy us. Why is this? Because our desires are infinite, and thus a finite world cannot satisfy them.Let’s look at what the Lord teaches by focusing on the Gospel, but also including insights from the...

The fallout from comments made by DaBaby about HIV and gay men continues, after the rapper was booted off the bill of a major music festival. DaBaby has been widely criticised for his comments, where he told audience members to put their phone lights in the air - unless they were HIV-positive or were gay men who performed sex acts in car parks. As well as seemingly singling out those suffering from the virus, DaBaby also incorrectly asserted that it will "make you die in two or three weeks". The Grammy-nominated rapper had been due to be one of the...

August 2 , 2021 Franciscan Church, Sanok, Poland Readings at MassLiturgical Colour: Green First readingNumbers 11:4-15 ©The sons of Israel complain in the desertThe sons of Israel began to wail, ‘Who will give us meat to eat?’ they said. ‘Think of the fish we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic! Here we are wasting away, stripped of everything; there is nothing but manna for us to look at!’ The manna was like coriander seed, and had the appearance of bdellium. The people went round gathering it, and ground it in a mill or...

Historically, Democrats and Republicans were merely opposition parties. They had a few shared objectives — prosperity, liberty, and national security. However, they had very different ideas about how to achieve those objectives. It was a political environment well suited to debate and compromise. Then the election of 2000 happened, and something changed. George W. Bush won the presidential election by a mere 537 votes. Losing in such a narrow fashion was too much for the Democrats to cope with. In their rage, they went insane. The Democrat party has always had radical elements. But up until 2001, the party had...

Thomas Kuhn, a renowned philosopher of science, suggested in his 1962 work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions that scientific progress advances through a series of revolutionary cycles. In each cycle, a dominant scientific model ("Normal Science") is widely accepted by consensus within the scientific community. Anomalies that contradict the model may emerge, causing the model to "drift" away from scientific consensus. When new observations severely contradict the existing model, the model undergoes a "crisis," leading to the emergence of new models ("model revolution"). A "paradigm shift" then occurs in which a competing model becomes dominant, and the cycle repeats over...

We are a year and half into the world’s nightmare of COVID-19, also known as the Chinese coronavirus, based on where this demon virus originated and spread from, either intentionally or inadvertently. We have been told to not wear masks, then wear one mask, then two masks, then no masks indoors. Now we are back to indoor masking and soon outdoor masking, too. The same “experts” told us that the vaccines were safe and effective, the pathway out of this nightmare. If we were vaccinated we no longer had to wear a mask, at least as of last May, according...

Millions of people were confined to their homes in China Monday as the country tried to contain its largest coronavirus outbreak in months with mass testing and travel curbs. Local governments in major cities including Beijing have now tested millions of residents, while cordoning off residential compounds and placing close contacts under quarantine.... ...Beijing has blocked tourists from entering the capital during the peak summer holiday travel season. Only "essential travellers" with negative nucleic acid tests will be allowed to enter...

I’m more worried about what is happening behind the scenes in the non-COVID universe while everyone is distracted by the purposeful weaponization of the healthcare institutions. It’s the other thing, the unseen activity, that is most troublesome when the leftists are this entrenched on a singular narrative.In this clip from Anthony Fauci on ABC This Week Sunday [Rumble Link], the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, claims that individual rights no longer exist during the era of COVID-19. When you consider the mindset of the far-left, his opinion on communal rights -vs- individual rights is right...
