It is a fundamental doctrine of the Catholic Church that life begins at conception and ends at natural death and that an abortion ending human life is a grave sin, as is funding and promoting abortions. . It is also a fundamental doctrine of the Catholic Church that when presenting themselves to receive Holy Communion they should not be in a state of grave mortal sin. Yet here was the Vicar of Christ receiving President Joe Biden without any public rebuke or condemnation of Joe Biden, our second Catholic President, for his support of abortion on demand and its funding...

Increasingly, politicians and medical bureaucrats are entranced by a bizarre pandemic ideology. Like most ideologies, it remains oblivious to evidence and argument, holding that the risk of severe outcomes from Corona infection is far more evenly distributed across the population than it is; and allowing only universal solutions, such as quarantining and vaccinating entire populations. These obtuse views, which just won’t go away, are at the root of our failed and destructive policies.

Several affiliates have told Radio Ink that Dan Bongino’s syndicated show will be best-of again this week. One PD said Westwood One informed him that Bongino “chose” to take this week off. The conservative talker was not live last week either as he battles with Cumulus over their COVID-19 mandate.

Sky News Australia ran an item solely devoted to Biden and his public gaffes last Friday, with host Rita Panahi observing Biden “needs a retirement home and a warm bowl of soup, not access to the nuclear codes” after showing several of his gaffes in recent speeches.

Few people in Buffalo have forgotten about the sensational career running back O.J. Simpson had with the Bills. He spent nine seasons in town before closing out his playing days with two years in San Francisco. His career has been overshadowed because of his behavior off the field, obviously......

President Joe Biden warned that the United States would respond to drone strikes by Tehran or any other hostile act that the Iranian regime took against American interests, The Jerusalem Post reported. "With regard to the issue of how we’re going to respond to actions taken by them against the interests of the United States — whether they’re drone strikes or anything else — is we’re going to respond, and we’re going to continue to respond," Biden said. The president made the comments following discussions with European powers over the weekend about what steps to take in order to prevent...

A TGP reader sent this to us this morning– The program may also include the following information in the future: ** Your health records ** Your financial reports ** Credit scores ** Travel records ** Vehicle registration ** Spending ** Voting ** Sex offender status ** Licenses and Permits you have ** Parking Fines ** Social Credit Scoring This will be the end of individual rights as we know it. Don’t count on the fickle Supreme Court to help you. If the totalitarians are able to implement this you will no longer have any rights in America. It is the...

Ten days ago, a New York judge revealed the full prosecution filings in a multi-state antitrust lawsuit against Google – one of many against the company, and of many more against the ad tech giants. There's too much to digest in a handful of days, and early headlines have concentrated on the claims that Google and Facebook colluded in a cabal to deflect legislation, bypass privacy technology, and share the spoils. There are lots of specific allegations about other misdeeds; this is just the hors d'oeuvre.Are these just allegations concocted by whistleblowers, and competitors tired of losing in a fair...

For her first public appearance since leaving the White House, former First Lady Melania Trump wore a wardrobe favorite — a Burberry trench coat with a fresh, elongated manicure. While attending game four of the World Series on Saturday evening, Melania Trump chose a Burberry trench coat. Loyal Fashion Notes readers will remember that Mrs. Trump first wore this trench in July 2018 while visiting Belgium and then, again, in June 2019 with an icy blue Hermès scarf wrapped around her hair. Perhaps in a sign of independence from the constraints of Washington, D.C., Mrs. Trump wore a longer manicure...

The union that represents rank-and-file Los Angeles police officers has filed a lawsuit against the city over how it rolled out its COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees, alleging the city negotiated the terms of the policy in bad faith and is inappropriately trying to pass on associated costs to officers. The Los Angeles Police Protective League repeats in its lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court a claim that it made publicly earlier this week, which was that the city withheld information about the contractor it hired to test unvaccinated employees for COVID-19. The city policy requires...

President Joe Biden struggled to stay awake Monday during the opening speeches at the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland. The president, wearing a mask, sat listening to the addresses with his arms folded as his eyes began to droop. As his eyes closed for several seconds and his breathing changed, a White House aide approached to speak to him. Biden spoke briefly to the aide and began applauding as the speaker concluded, and then rubbed his eyes and folded his hands as the conference continued. Video of Biden was shared on social media by Washington Post reporter Zach...

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced that roughly 9,000 city workers have been placed on unpaid leave for declining to comply with a coronavirus vaccine mandate that took effect Monday. The Associated Press reports: About 9 in 10 city workers covered by the mandate have gotten vaccinated and there have been no disruptions to city services as a result of staffing shortages, de Blasio told reporters at his daily news briefing. New York has more than 300,000 city employees. Firehouses remained open and sanitation workers made an extra pickup on Sunday to ensure trash wouldn’t pile up,...

President Biden warned vaccine resisters that "loss of your job isn't the only penalty you'll face for refusing to abide by my wishes that you take the covid jab. I just learned that in Australia the government is seizing homes, bank accounts, and driver's licenses from those who refuse its vaccination mandates. Most intriguing of all, the government is proudly instituting a two-tiered citizenship status—one for the vaccinated who will be allowed some limited freedoms and one for the unvaccinated who won't." "All you unvaccinated people need to face reality," the President advised. "The government is bigger, stronger, and smarter...

Attorneys, medical doctors, and family members of COVID-19 victims have described and offered recordings of what the Truth for Health Foundation calls “horrific hospital violations of human rights,” including denial of intravenous fluids to patients, denial of access to patients by families, attorneys, and others, and the imposition of Remdesivir on patients despite risks of kidney and liver damage from that drug and the availability of possibly safer alternatives, such as ivermectin.

Eighteen states filed three separate lawsuits Friday to stop President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors, arguing that the requirement violates federal law. Attorneys general from Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming signed on to one lawsuit, which was filed in a federal district court in Missouri. Another group of states including Georgia, Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Georgia. Texas also sued individually on Friday. The states asked a federal judge to block Biden’s requirement that all employees...

President Biden shrugged off his plummeting poll numbers by saying that’s not why he ran for president and spoke extensively about his meeting with Pope Francis, referring to the pontiff as a “truly genuine decent man” at a news conference Sunday following the G20 summit in Rome. Biden was asked about his comments claiming that America is back even as his favorability ratings are crashing, his legislative agenda is stalled in Congress and the tight gubernatorial race in Virginia between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin. “Because of the way they reacted,” Biden said on the final day of...

The object was first spotted by the Catalina Sky Survey, which works to identify threatening asteroids, according to CNET. A simulation shows just how close the space rock came to the planet. The object, about 6.6 feet in diameter, was likely to have mostly burned up had it struck the atmosphere, according to reports. It was undetected until hours after it had passed the planet, as it had approached from the direction of the sun, blocking it from scientists’ view.

I have a simple question for every ‘expert’ who thinks they understand the root causes of the shipping crisis: Why is there only one crane for every 50–100 trucks at every port in America? No ‘expert’ will answer this question. I’m a Class A truck driver with experience in nearly every aspect of freight. My experience in the trucking industry of 20 years tells me that nothing is going to change in the shipping industry.

Heir to the British throne Prince Charles called for a “vast military-style campaign” to combat climate change as he opened the COP26 summit in Glasgow on Monday. Prince Charles, Duke of Edinburgh, called on the governments of the world to take a “war-like footing” to solve the supposed climate crisis. “The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how devastating a global cross-border threat can be, climate change and biodiversity loss are no different. In fact, they pose an even greater existential threat, to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing,” Charles...

It’s been more than 20 months since Gov. J.B. Pritzker began managing the state’s response to COVID-19 through executive order and the Democrat-controlled legislature remains hands-off. Pritzker’s first orders, with accompanying emergency declarations, were in March 2020. The orders concerning COVID-19 have evolved since then and range from a stay-at-home order that lasted more than ten weeks, business closures with varying degrees of capacity and threats of sending state police to enforce, school closures, mask mandates and most recently vaccine mandates for a variety of sectors. Lawmakers left the capitol after the end of the veto session Thursday and won’t...
