Francis, Supreme Legislator? No, the Law’s GravediggerOn October 10, Francis set in motion a mammoth synod on synodality, as if wanting for the first time ever to hear from the whole people of God. But he made it known right away - from the lips of synod secretary general Cardinal Mario Grech - that when the final document comes along it may not even be voted on. The counting of votes will be used only in extreme cases, “as a last and undesired resort.” In any case, to then deliver the document to the pope, who will do what he...

To tell the tale of Louis L'Amour is to tell the tale of a bygone America, one where freedom was much easier to come by, though just as dangerous to defend. L'Amour documented the world of frontier liberty, with all its perks and pitfalls, in an extensive manner that no one else can boast, penning over 100 Western novels. While his books were fiction, L'Amour knew the cowboy life second hand, growing up at a time when remnants of the Old West frontier were still very much alive in pockets of the country.

A Durham nail salon discriminated against an HIV-positive customer by denying him pedicures and must pay $7,500 in compensation, according to a settlement with the U.S. government. Tweetie Nails, which does business as Diva Nails on South Roxboro Street, must also adopt and post a non-discrimination policy that includes disabilities such as HIV and AIDS. All salon staff must be trained about HIV/AIDS and disability discrimination in general, said the June settlement, which the US Department of Justice posted publicly Tuesday.

Former Vice President Mike Pence was asked directly on Monday night, who it was that convinced him not to go along with Donald Trump's plan of refusing to certify the Presidential election results. Vice President Pence declared Joe Biden the winner of the election at the end of a violent and deadly day at the Capitol on January 6. But during a question and answer session at a Young America's Foundation event at the University of Iowa, a student demanded to know what, in his mind, had caused Pence to suddenly back down and refuse to block the certification of...

Thursday’s press briefing exposed state officials’ utter disregard for election law and their inability to stop flagrant misconduct before elections. The WEC knew full well it was directing clerks to violate mandatory provisions of Wisconsin’s election code and so did the clerks, yet the lawlessness went unstopped. Yet not only did no one stop the WEC’s directive, unless someone steps up to prosecute those responsible for directing this apparent violation of election law, it seems unlikely there will be any consequences to the state election officials. Not only are there no consequences, but there is also no outrage beyond a...

An educator in Colorado was accused of having COVID-19 and briefly banned from campus. She’s now suing, and says the false accusation was malicious and that the school violated her due process rights by banning her from campus, even temporarily. The College Fix reported that Celeste Archer, executive director of the National History Day in Colorado program at the University of Colorado-Denver, alleges in her lawsuit that campus administrators denied her the opportunity to prove the accusation wrong and, further, actually aided the person who falsely accused her in their efforts to “harass and intimidate her.” Archer, who has won...

The mother of the 15-year-old boy who dressed in a skirt and raped a female classmate in the girl's bathroom and was then charged with sexually assaulting another girl months later says her son doesn't identify as a female, and it wasn't just some disguise to slip into the girl's bathroom. Speaking exclusively with DailyMail.com, the mother, who asked not to be identified for the sake of her underage son, defended his actions as that of a heterosexual, hormonal teen who, in the case of the rape, had consensual sex with the girl twice before. 'He's a 15-year-old boy that...

The CDC caused an uproar in early September 2021, after it changed its definitions of “vaccination” and “vaccine.” For years, the CDC had set definitions for vaccination/vaccine that discussed immunity. This all changed on September 1, 2021. --SNIP--- CDC emails we obtained via the Freedom of Information Act reveal CDC concerns with how the COVID-19 vaccines didn’t match the CDC’s own definition of “vaccine”/“vaccination”. It was the CDC’s Ministry of Truth hard at work in the face of legitimate public questions. In one August 2021 e-mail, a CDC employee cited to complaints that “Right-wing covid-19 deniers are using your ‘vaccine’...

Kyle Rittenhouse, an Illinois resident, arrived in Kenosha, Wis., in August 2020 as a teenager with innocent motives, his lawyer told jurors in an opening statement. Mr. Rittenhouse had ties to the community, family and friends who lived in Kenosha, a job as a lifeguard at the RecPlex in Pleasant Prairie, just outside town. When he came downtown on the third day of protests after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Mr. Rittenhouse was there to clean graffiti and help protect the city from more destruction, his lawyer said. And when Mr. Rittenhouse walked Sheridan Road in Kenosha with his...

Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Chris Piper issued a statement on Tuesday afternoon after reports of voters being turned away from polling places for not masking surfaced.“We have gotten several reports of voters either being turned away or being made to wait until the polling place is clear before being allowed to vote if they refuse to wear a mask,” Piper wrote. “You may not turn voters away because they are not wearing masks.”

An analysis by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan fiscal watchdog, estimates that President Biden’s $1.75 trillion expansion of the federal safety net could kill more than 103,000 jobs over the next decade and add $750 billion to the federal deficit. The estimate is based on a thorough analysis of the White House’s spending “framework” and the corresponding 1,684-page bill text released by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat. Experts from the Tax Foundation say the proposal will fall far short of White House promises. “We estimate that the House bill would reduce long-run economic output by nearly 0.4% and eliminate...

Huma Abedin has revealed she is in the 'final stages' of divorcing her husband Anthony Weiner, who still lives 'very nearby' in her building, while opening up the 'extreme trauma' she suffered following his scandals and affairs. Hillary Clinton's top aide, 45, spoke about the dissolution of her marriage in a candid interview with The Cut, saying she and Weiner, 57, sought therapy after he was released from prison as they adjusted to co-parenting their son Jordan, nine.

[H/T Tatown]Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry out Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight. Paul D Thacker reportsSNIPA regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial. Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding. After repeatedly notifying Ventavia of these problems, the regional director,...
