Chicago’s Dark ‘Saint’ — Bernardin!Not a faithful man worthy of venerationYour browser does not support the video tag. Special Report: Bernardin: Homosexual Predator Satanist Pakaluk, in his well-researched rebuttal, debunks Bernardin's seamless garment lecture. In the section titled "A Philosophy of Feelings," Pakaluk makes this poignant observation on Bernardin's seamless garment metaphor:From the start, the theory proved itself pedagogically unsound. A metaphor should make a teaching easier to understand, not easier to misunderstand, but the seamless garment metaphor was only confusing people. "If the garment is seamless," people wondered, "then the various issues that are linked are of equal importance...

On his way out the door, France’s ambassador to Australia said he wished he could go back in time to avoid the mess that’s resulted from the surprise cancellation of a major submarine contract in favor of a deal with the U.S. “This has been a huge mistake, a very, very bad handling of the partnership,” French envoy Jean-Pierre Thebault said Saturday as he left his residence in the capital of Canberra, the Associated Press reported. France recalled Thebault and the French ambassador to the U.S. over the deal, which nixed a $66 billion contract from 2016 with the French...

Two empty liquor bottles were found this month on one of Boeing Co. ’s new Air Force One planes under development in San Antonio, people familiar with the matter said. The discovery of miniature bottles of tequila on one of the future U.S. presidential jets is under investigation by the company, these people said. It couldn’t be determined where on the plane the bottles were discovered. While Boeing has had problems in recent years with tools, rags and other factory garbage left on commercial and military aircraft, this incident is particularly serious because it involves alcohol and highly classified jets,...

The city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) said today it will begin work this weekend along the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE), in an effort to extend the life of the triple-cantilever roadway that runs underneath the Brooklyn Promenade. Crews will begin work Friday evening, but the real impact on traffic will be felt Monday, when DOT plans to reduce the number of lanes on the portion of the expressway from Atlantic Avenue to the Brooklyn Bridge from three to two in both directions. The agency warned drivers to expect construction-induced traffic jams, and suggested they take public transit instead. Trucks and...

A Letter to Catholics throughout the WorldDear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,We have been deeply saddened to learn of Pope Francis’ decision to revoke the main provisions of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI on July 7, 2007. After decades of division and quarrels, Summorum Pontificum was a source of peace and reconciliation for all Catholics.Rome has violated Pope Benedict XVI’s solemn word in a brutal and rigid manner that is a far cry from the fraternal welcome that is nowadays so widely proclaimed.Pope Francis’ explicit intent, as expressed in the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes of...

WANTED: one honest, decent, middle-class politician who doesn’t want to be a rich celebrity. Just imagine Bronx-born, feminist Democratic Rep. Bella Abzug showing up to a $35,000-a-plate dinner in a dress that cost more than some people in her district made a year? And then staying for the pathetic vegan dinner to hobnob with the unimaginably wealthy celebrities and other “elites”? That’s what Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did at the Met Gala on Monday, sporting an Aurora James gown that declared: TAX THE RICH. “The medium is the message . . . BEFORE anybody starts wilding out,” the congresswoman wrote...

In the 1950s and 1960s, Greek musicians found and copied at least 108 Hindi songs from the movies played in Greece in that period. In 1998, Helen Abadzi and Emmanuel Tasoulas published in Greek the book 'Ινδοπρεπών Αποκάλυψη". The book contains the background, social issues, events of the period, and the musicological and historical relations between ancient Greece and India. The book has the song and movie list, as well as biographies of singers and composers. To locate and identify the songs, the authors engaged in ethnomusicological research, that is also described therein. An English translation was initially rendered verbatim....

MELBOURNE, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Australia's police arrested 235 people in Melbourne and 32 in Sydney on Saturday at unsanctioned anti-lockdown rallies and several police officers were injured in clashes with protesters. Victoria police said six officers required hospitalisation. Several officers were knocked to the ground and trampled, the police said and television footage showed. About 700 people managed to gather in parts of Melbourne, as 2,000 officers made the city centre virtually a no-go zone, setting up checkpoints and barricades. Public transport and ride shares into the city were suspended. In Sydney, riot squad officers, highway patrol, detectives and...

I am a partner at one of the top 25 national law firms. I have been practicing law for more than 20 years. The dream of Martin Luther King is rapidly being extinguished by the new cadre of woke culture warriors. Never in my career have I observed such unabashed discrimination against white males as I have seen in the past 12-18 months. We represent many major life sciences companies, corporations whose names would be familiar to all of you. Our clients have become militant in regulating the skin color and gender of the attorneys who are staffed on their...

The Biden administration wants to resettle 95,000 Afghans in the next year Some of the loudest voices calling for the resettlement of tens of thousands of Afghan refugees in the United States have come from Washington, D.C. – and yet the nation's capital won’t be receiving any of the initial wave of refugees. State Department data shows where the initial group of 37,000 Afghans are heading after being processed into the United States. The Afghans are coming into the U.S. in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which sparked an exodus of Afghans from Kabul as they fled...

Trump was right. President Trump told supporters the Justice for J-6 rally was a set-up. Populists and Trump supporters feared it would be another calamity where Antifa and unnamed FBI agents would infiltrate the crowd and trigger-happy Capitol Hill police officers would gun down young women. So the turnout was sparse. We all support the Jan. 6 political prisoners. We just didn’t want to get set up by the government or shot by Capitol Police to prove it. On Saturday there were more police, reporters and undercover intelligence agents than protesters in Washington DC. Here are some scenes from the...

Subtitle: Democrats Learn the Lesson of 1860. The Lincoln and Trump elections flipped the card table of American politics. As in 1860, there was no middle ground in 2016 between the two factions. One works to preserve the United States. The other despises first American principles, publicly rejected the President-elect, and pursues disunion. This faction is called the Democrat Party. Compromise is possible when the parties differ on how to reach a common goal. Every sale in the marketplace is a compromise. The seller is satisfied with a certain sale point just as the buyer has a buy point. Equally...

RUSSIA has ramped up its war games as it practices 'invading" Poland and Lithuania - both NATO countries - during the terrifying drills. Moscow and its neighbour Belarus have reportedly stepped up its show of military strength while Vladimir Putin has gone into self-isolation after a close aide contracted Covid. While the Russian leader is retreating from meetings, footage showed S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems and Pantsir-S air defence missile-gun complexes in action. The move comes in effort to supposedly repel a huge strike by a “mock enemy” at the climax of the exercises. Carried out in the Astrakhan region, the...
