    Letter from Rome: The old order is passing awayThe Church's implosion accelerates as cardinals call for major doctrinal changes and a former pope tries to save a legacy. There was more turbulence in Roman Catholicism this past week -- at least on the Old Continent.A number of recent events verified -- to those who are willing to open their eyes and face reality -- that the Roman Church's ongoing implosion is picking up pace.Here are just a few things that happened when many people were probably not paying attention:- Two cardinals close to Pope Francis publicly called for radical changes...

    Dr. Dorit Nitzan explains the difference between Omicron and the new sub-variant, and why there may be bigger issues at hand. While the original Omicron variant first detected in South Africa in late November is still the dominant virus strain in most countries, others are starting to worry about a new sub-variant that has been halting the downward trend in infections – the BA.2 sub-variant.

    On Feb. 3, long-time Trump associate Felix Sater filed a cross-complaint in a New York federal court. The complaint alleges that Russian and Kazakhstan-connected individuals and entities conducted “a shadow intelligence operation of Sater and Trump for the purpose of manufacturing information to harm Donald Trump politically,” including by providing Christopher Steele a PowerPoint presentation riddled with lies Steele later fed to the FBI. Sater’s cross suit comes nearly three years after the City of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and BTA Bank filed suit against Sater, two of the companies he owned, a former business associate, and that associate’s LLCs, in City...

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said on Sunday that Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is "carrying water for Donald Trump" after the party censured two lawmakers sitting on the Jan. 6 committee and declared the Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters "legitimate political discourse." During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Christie told host Martha Raddatz that the resolution was backed by a small number of Republicans who had largely been installed during former President Trump's four-year tenure.
  • Republicans Continue Losing Court Challenges to Restricting Maps, Could Cost Congressional Seats

    Republicans control a majority of state legislatures and governorships, but they appear to be in danger of losing congressional seats in the wake of the 2020 Census. Democrat-controlled states have managed to successfully redraw congressional districts that shut out remaining GOP strongholds while Republican-led states have run up against successful legal challenges to their maps — all of which could cost the party seats in Congress later this year when they were expected to do well in the midterm elections as President Joe Biden’s approval rating continues to tank. Historically, the party not holding the White House has done well...
  • California-born figure skater Beverly Zu, 19, is slammed on Chinese social media after finishing LAST on the ice having given up her US citizenship to compete for Communist Beijing in Winter Olympics

    The American-born Chinese figure skater who gave up her US citizenship and changed her name to compete for the Communist country at the Winter Olympic in Beijing fell twice during the women's short program team event - to the scorn of many her adopted country. Beverly Zu, 19, who changed her name to Zhu Yi, finished with the lowest score of the event at Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium after she failed to land a jump and fell on the opening combination, and botched another jump later in her short program. Skating to Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, Zhu...

    It all began 42 years ago — Ted Turner’s creation of a 24/7 news network that would exist on something called cable TV. Few believed it could succeed. And, for its first decade, CNN largely chugged along but wasn’t seen as a game-changer or ​a true competitor to big broadcast news entities based in New York in the form of CBS, NBC and ABC. That all changed when war broke out between the United States and Iraq in 1991. On the night war exploded over Baghdad, CNN was the only news organization that was able to broadcast from the city...

    Explanation: Welcome to planet Earth, the third planet from a star named the Sun. The Earth is shaped like a sphere and composed mostly of rock. Over 70 percent of the Earth's surface is water. The planet has a relatively thin atmosphere composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. The featured picture of Earth, dubbed The Blue Marble, was taken from Apollo 17 in 1972 and features Africa and Antarctica. It is thought to be one of the most widely distributed photographs of any kind. Earth has a single large Moon that is about 1/4 of its diameter and, from the...

    Donald Trump's former national security adviser on Sunday accused Beijing of staging the 'biggest land grab in history' with its territorial encroachment on the South China Sea. Beijing has laid claim to a vast majority of the waters there, and China's aggressive buildup in military presence and increased exercises in the region has served to alarm and anger US allies there as well as American officials at home. Retired Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster made the stark warning about an increasingly 'aggressive' China after troublesome technical issues led to his appearance on CBS News' Face The Nation to be delayed by...

    Ottawa police say they will now stop people from providing downtown protesters with gas, food and other “material support”. The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) announced the new tactic in a tweet on Sunday afternoon, amid the protest against COVID-19 public health measures in the city’s parliamentary precinct – a protest that several leaders policies have labeled it an occupation – continues for a second weekend. Anyone bringing these supplies could be arrested, PAHO said. Police did not respond to a request for comment, citing officer safety. SNIP

    The Coca-Cola Company continues to remain silent about China's genocide of Uyghur Muslims amid the company's involvement in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Coca-Cola's participation has been questioned by critics as China continues its ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region. "The Coca-Cola Company is focused on helping communities address their sustainability challenges, but we can’t do it alone," the company says on its website. "That is why we’ve formed key nonprofit partnerships with incredible organizations to progress sustainability initiatives such as women’s empowerment, water replenishment, sustainable packaging and climate action."

    On Friday, following co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s incendiary comments about the Holocaust earlier in the week, “The View” co-host Sara Haines ripped people who felt that Goldberg’s two-week suspension from the show was insufficient punishment, pontificating, “To learn from a moment is all we can ask of anyone. And prioritizing punitive measures at the expense of the message/issue (and teaching moment) are misguided.” Prior to that Instagram message, Haines had posted a photograph of her and Goldberg snapping a selfie on the set of the show, captioning it, “This just popped up and warmed my heart. That’s my Whoops!!!!” as The...

    Tucker Carlson recently reported an interesting theory that claims the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau’s real father is former Communist leader of Cuba Fidel Castro. Tucker’s theory is not new but has been floating around the web for some time now but Carlson has decided to introduce the theory to his millions of viewers.Tucker made the comments during a segment where Carlson was giving his Fox News colleague Jeanine Pirro and Lawerence Jones a quiz. The question Tucker asked Pirro and Jones was which dictator is Justin Trudeau’s real father.Jones incorrectly answered Carlson’s question by saying Moammar Gadhafi was...

    DALLAS — The State Fair of Texas traditionally takes place over 24 fall days in Fair Park. But a new reality series hopes to break it out of that box, putting the annual Fair Park-hosted affair on a national stage over the course of multiple weeks, starting this spring. A just-announced reality show called Deep Fried Dynasty will make its debut on the cable network A&E in March, and it promises to focus on (according to its own words) the "grease-soaked geniuses" and "big personalities behind the mouth-watering food at the State Fair of Texas."

    For centuries, farmers have bred livestock and crops for desirable traits such as faster growth, better taste, and resistance to disease. Now, a new kind of rancher is following in their footsteps: mealworm breeders. Last week, France-based Ÿnsect announced it will spend nearly $5 million on the world’s first large-scale initiative to use state-of-the-art genetics for breeding beetle larvae and other insects that can be used as animal feed, fertilizer—and even food for people. “We’re talking about accelerating the ability to use the genomes of millions of insects” for selective breeding, says insect geneticist Christine Picard of Indiana University–Purdue University...
