[Catholic Caucus] Make my Christmas, Grinch! Years ago, I had a priest friend who rose through the clerical ranks of his diocese, to become rector of the Cathedral. He was favored by his bishop, and rightly so, for his priestly zeal and competence. But then, along came a pharaoh who knew not Joseph, and the next bishop despised this priest, because he had been favored by his predecessor. And so, he bided his time, until just the right moment, to inflict pain upon the innocent priest. On Good Friday, precisely at 3:00 pm, the bishop sent an email to...

On Friday’s broadcast of “Fox News Live,” Texas Dept. of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez said he predicts that the situation on the border is “going to get a whole lot worse” in 2022. Olivarez said the federal government has “canceled every viable resource to law enforcement, canceling the border wall, removing the Remain in Mexico policy…the three components that are needed for an effective strategy to combat this border crisis [are] manpower and technology and, of course, infrastructure. And again, all of these components have — they’re not being done by the federal government. They’ve failed to act.” He...

Sick people have been given Covid by the very hospital where they went to get better.” 70 per cent of London’s COVID hospitalisations were diagnosed after the patient had already been admitted for other ailments, it has been revealed. The figure is important because a so-called ‘surge’ in London hospitalisations for COVID is being used as a justification to lobby for further lockdown restrictions on the British public. However, as Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson reveals, much of the panic is being driven by cases being counted as COVID despite the patient being admitted for other reasons. “Astonishing fact. 70% of...

Roger Moore's favorite James Bond adventure is one of the least-loved adventures from the Sean Connery era. By the time Sean Connery appeared in his fifth Bond adventure You Only Live Twice, he had grown tired of both the franchise and the overwhelming amount of attention it brought him. He had become so identified with the role that he longed to break free of his 007 typecasting, and George Lazenby was later hired as his successor for On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Prosecutors say that the parents of accused school shooter Ethan Crumbley knew that their son was troubled but did nothing to stop him from allegedly murdering his fellow students. *** SNIP *** Even before the day of the shooting, prosecutors say Ethan’s parents knew their son sent “disturbing texts” to his mom. “Defendants had information long before November 30 (within the six months prior to the shooting) that their son’s only friend moved at the end of October 2021; that the family dog died; that their son was sadder than usual; and that he was sending his mother disturbing texts...

I'm just letting those who here who are looking for something to listen to on Christmas day It's a mixture of music, short skits from the golden age of tv and Christmas factoids of how it all fell into place since the Birth of Christ.

I admit it, sometimes I read left-wing blogs to find out what the other side is thinking. Most of it is completely off the rails, but it honestly makes me happy when I can find some areas where we all can agree. So in the Spirit of Christmas, what else do you think most of America agrees on? I'll start: * Everyone hates Jeff Bezos * Most people think it's time to get rid of the penny

The European Union’s executive Commission is considering whether to include nuclear and natural gas in its “sustainable finance taxonomy”, a rulebook that will restrict which activities can be labelled as climate-friendly investments. “We are going to have most likely a discussion tomorrow in college, which then will lead… to approval next year,” EU environment commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius told a news conference on Monday, referring to the Commission’s weekly “college” meeting.

A visionary whose discoveries have treated numerous diseases. A global finance expert. A man who has brought powerful white-collar criminals to justice and invented life-changing medical technologies. These all describe my guest today: Dr. David Martin, PhD. Why does this man who has worked so closely with Congress think that COVID-19 wasn’t a freak act of nature or lab leak, but a plot years in the making? What criminal patterns has he seen before that are showing themselves again on the world stage? But most importantly of all, I want to ask him the question on everyone's minds: Why is...

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics, first formulated in 1927, states that “the product of the uncertainties in position and velocity is equal to or greater than a tiny physical quantity, or constant (h/(4π), where h is Planck’s constant, or about 6.6 × 10−34 joule-second.” Or, to put it in more popular terms, the act of observation changes the nature of the thing being observed. Does it ever. Here we are, coming up on the second anniversary of “two weeks to slow the spread” of a flu-like virus most likely hatched in a Chinese...

San Francisco leaders on Friday approved an emergency plan to combat drug use in the city's much-troubled Tenderloin neighborhood after Mayor London Breed made a proposal earlier this month that some fear will criminalize addicts and the homeless.

Board President Shamann Walton and Supervisor Dean Preston dissented, arguing that potential over-policing could impact African Americans, among other issues.
