Catholics are encouraged to adhere to the 'one direction, one road and one flag' principles of the Chinese Communist PartyChina’s communist government is seemingly accelerating the process of Sinicization of the Catholic Church to implement in spirit and action the policies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) put forth by President Xi Jinping. Two recent events in Shandong and Hebei provinces organized by the state-controlled Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church in China (BCCCC) and Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association (CCPA) highlighted the willingness of church leaders to put the CCP’s Sinicization policy into practice. In its academic sense, Sinicization of...

The brilliant and courageous writers at DC Comics have announced that Superman is now gay, and his pronouns are they/them as he is also non-binary. Now, instead of Kryptonite, he will be rendered completely powerless by anyone who addresses him using the wrong pronouns. "I'll finally defeat Superman! He's such a liberal snowflake!" says right-wing transphobe Lex Luthor to reporters in the latest issue. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cries gay Superman in response as he withers to the ground in shrieks of agony. "I'm non-binary! It should be 'THEY is such a snowflake!' EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Writers confirmed that gay Superman will gay-save the world...

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)’s campaign has spent over $130,000 for personal security services for the congresswoman, despite her longtime efforts to defund the police.

Nuking an incoming asteroid as a last-ditch effort to save the planet has long captivated the imaginations of real-life experts and filmmakers alike. But many astronomers have maintained that it would never work, saying we should come up with other ideas instead. But new research may show that those naysayers are wrong, Gizmodo reports, because computer simulations indicate that a last-minute nuclear strike actually has a good chance at saving the planet after all. That’s good news, as most other viable strategies require years, or perhaps even decades, of planning. “Simply stated, for a 100-meter object that’s projected to hit...

Nearly 1,000 people flocked to a Times Square rally Saturday to protest the COVID-19 vaccine and mandates that they get jabbed. Some participants wore T-shirts or carried signs that read “My Body, My Choice,” “Freedom Over Fear” and “De Blasio is the Virus.”...

Kennedy Jr., the board chair of Children’s Health Defense, addressed the crowd of about 900 and said, “the vaccine is not safe and effective.” “We have no business giving this...

GESTURES OF LOVE Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love . . . and weep with them who weep. —Romans 12:10,15 Cards...hundreds and hundreds of cards. Our mail carrier must have thought we were going for a world record. They came by the stack—day after day after day.

But it wasn't just the cards that provided assurance of loving support...food came in so fast...

Has the main street media brought this up yet? We all know, or do we, that we could be in for a pretty vicious/bone chilling winter. It's already dipping in the rust belt at night, but give it another two or three weeks, and poor Brian may have to find a warm Motel 6 to live in till April. So what do you all think he's gonna do for the upcoming six months of snow and the usual polar vortex? Hmm, is he gonna try to sneak back into his Florida home at 3AM?

President Biden's decision to buy drones from China has spurred concerns that China will implant technology that allows them to remotely control the devices. Biden defended his decision by citing several key advantages to the deal. "First, I've spent more time with President Xi of China than any world leader has," Biden boasted. "Just the two of us man-to-man. While I couldn't understand most of what he said, I got the definite vibe that he is a cool guy. I trust him. My son Hunter trusts him. I don't think he would do anything to harm this country." "Second, trade...

Joe Biden’s U.S. Agency for International Development launched a new $125 million dollar project with Washington State University and foreign collaborators to discover over 10,000 novel viruses in nature. The ambitious program follows the agency funding a similar form of research conducted by EcoHealth Alliance and its controversial partner: the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Many experts believe this Chinese Communist Party-run lab is the source of COVID-19. The new program, announced by Washington State University (WSU) on October 5th, will endeavor “to collect over 800,000 samples in the five years of the project.” “This process is expected to yield 8,000...
