In a letter to parishioners of Holy Family Parish in Springfield, Vermont, Bishop Christopher Coyne of Burlington announced that their pastor is being removed from his position over his continued refusal to be tested regularly for COVID-19 and to wear a mask while ministering, as the bishop had directed. The bishop also noted that he has invited Father Peter Williams to reside with him, so they "can pray, dialogue and worship together to hopefully change the bad opinion he has of me as his bishop." “After an extensive process and much prayer, it is with great sadness that I announce...

One week after Russia launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine, the United Nations estimates that more than one million people have fled the Eastern European country. As the war continues to escalate after the Feb. 24 attack, one segment of the Ukrainian population has found that the decision to flee isn’t that easy. Despite the dangers posed by constant shelling and destruction, the country’s dairy farmers have largely remained on their farms and the threat of a Russian attack isn’t enough to sway them to leave, according to Taras Vysotsky, deputy minister for development of economy, trade and agriculture...

The Bishop of Sheffield has accused evangelical clergy worried about the UK government’s upcoming ban on gay conversion therapy of causing ‘unnecessary anguish’ to LGBT people. Bishop Pete Wilcox wrote to the clergy in his South Yorkshire diocese following the publication of a letter signed by 2,500 Christian ministers and pastoral workers to Liz Truss, the government minister responsible for the consultation over planned legislation to ban conversion therapy. The Ministers’ Consultation Response, signed by over 700 Church of England ministers, expressed concerns that the legislation is so badly drafted that biblically orthodox ministers could go to jail for teaching...

An assistant principal of a Mississippi elementary school says that he was fired after choosing to read a book about butts to a group of second graders. Gary Road Elementary School in Byram chose to lay off Toby Price without a warning after he read Dawn McMillan's book, 'I Need a New Butt,' to seven-and eight-year-old students last week, WJTV reported. Price confirmed he was given the boot in a Facebook post from March 7, sharing that he had been fired 'for reading an awesome book to kids'. He also created a GoFundMe page, in which he shares that 'I...

Moscow, March 8, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia addressed the parishioners with a sermon on Forgiveness Sunday, where he not only called for forgiveness of each other's insults, but also linked the topic of forgiveness with Russia's military operation in Ukraine. "Today, on Forgiveness Sunday, on the one hand, as your pastor, I call on everyone to forgive sins and offenses, including where it is very difficult to do it, where people are at war with each other. But forgiveness without justice is surrender and weakness. Therefore, forgiveness must be accompanied by the indispensable preservation of...

With economic sanctions unfolding against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, it’s useful to recall one of the climactic moments near the end of the Cold War — the dramatic weekend summit between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. This October 1986 meeting, held in Reykjavík, is remembered for nearly producing a deal to eliminate strategic nuclear weapons, but it collapsed at the last moment when Reagan refused to bargain away his missile defense initiative. But another aspect of the affair reveals a key defect in the Biden administration’s handling of the current crisis.

In response, Governor DeSantis’ press secretary accused the president of arguing for ‘unfettered late term abortion.’WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — President Joe Biden has called Florida’s new 15-week abortion ban “dangerous.” On Friday, March 5, the President of the United States, a self-professed devout Catholic, tweeted his opposition to the Sunshine State’s new legislation protecting unborn babies. “Last night the Republican-controlled Florida legislature passed a dangerous bill that will severely restrict women’s access to reproductive health care,” Biden wrote. “My Administration will not stand for the continued erosion of women’s constitutional rights.” The president was upbraided on Twitter by Christina Pushaw,...

Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine will be remembered as one of the great crimes of the 21st century. The ensuing humanitarian crisis has already caused more than two million refugees to flee their homeland. With the imposition of sanctions, policymakers will have to weigh their political options as a rise in energy prices may trigger food shortages in the coming European fall, and lead to an even worse catastrophe in Africa and other developing countries. Under such circumstances, it’s easy to see the current war in Ukraine in Manichean terms. But once the conflict ends or devolves into a guerrilla...

In footage released by the right-wing guerilla news outlet Project Veritas, Rosenberg is seen speaking about what he calls "the left's overreaction" to the Capitol Hill melee. "It's like that January 6 stuff, but it's like I'm so over it at this point. I'm so over it," Rosenberg tells an undercover Project Veritas journalist. "The left's overreaction – the left's reaction to it in some places was so over the top that it gave the opening the right needed to start introducing the idea of, ‘Whoa, these people are out of control. Like, it’s not as big of a deal...

The seeds of the conflict in the Ukraine, now the subject of both a shooting war and a ferocious propaganda barrage on both sides—and by "both sides" I mean Russia vs. the West, using Ukraine as its proxy—were sown more than 30 years ago, in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union on Boxing Day in 1991. At what seemed almost a single stroke, the goal of American foreign policy for the previous four decades had been achieved. The mother church of Marxism-Leninism had fallen, the Evil Empire destroyed,...

The Biden administration is forcefully pushing back on Russian claims that the United States is running bioweapons labs in Ukraine, with the Pentagon calling it "Russian propaganda" and "a bunch of malarkey." The Russian government and media outlets have ramped up claims in recent days that the U.S. was operating bioweapon research facilities in Ukraine, with Chinese diplomats and propaganda outlets also amplifying the claims. The allegations from Russia have stretched back years. The U.S. has consistently denied the claims, and Russia has never provided any proof. “The Russian accusations are absurd, they are laughable, and, you know, in the...

Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) on Tuesday called for the Mills administration and state legislature to cut Maine’s fuel tax in response to gasoline prices reaching record highs across the nation. LePage, who is challenging Gov. Janet Mills (D) in the state’s gubernatorial race this year, spoke about the tax at a press conference in the town of Falmouth on the same day Mills formally announced her bid for reelection.

Many electric cars owners have been reveling in their purchases as gasoline prices reach record highs. The national average for a gallon of gas hit $4.25 on Wednesday, up from $4.17 the day before, and it is expected to rise as the fallout of economic sanctions levied on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine continues to trickle through the petroleum industry. U.S. electricity prices, which are heavily regulated in most states, have remained stable, however, and the cost to charge an electric car is still much lower than filling up one with an internal combustion engine, but only...

Key takeaway: The Kremlin has set informational conditions to blame Ukraine for a Russian-conducted or Russian-fabricated chemical or radiological false-flag attack against civilians as a pretext for further Russian escalation. The Kremlin is likely still evaluating this course of action but is building out the necessary conditions to justify broader violence against civilians. That risk must be addressed. The United States and NATO must “pre-bunk” such Kremlin efforts, destroy in advance Moscow’s efforts to create informational cover for escalation, and deter Russia’s potential use of a chemical or radiological weapon.

Establishment Republicans and Conservatism, Inc., are on their heels. Ignore the swamp, and fight for your home. The law of exponentiality holds that small, almost imperceptible events slowly build until what appears to be a major cataclysm suddenly unfolds. It is the building of tiny cracks over time that eventually leads to the dam breaking, causing unimaginable destruction. We are witnessing those tiny cracks now at an increasing rate in the political, economic, and cultural systems in the West, primarily the United States. They are building toward something that just a short time ago was unthinkable: the crumbling of the...
