The Starr County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment. The Texas Heartbeat Act bans abortions after a...

Fr. Earl Fernandes decries normalization of gay subculture in formationCOLUMBUS, OH (ChurchMilitant.com) - The bishop-elect of Columbus, Ohio, has challenged the admission of men with homosexual tendencies into seminaries, vigorously defending Pope Benedict XVI's ban on ordaining gays as priests.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is choking truck traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border to get Mexico’s government to help block the migrant flood invited by President Joe Biden’s border chief, says Todd Bensman, a Texas-based expert at the Center for Immigration Studies. “If Texas wants to back those trucks up severely, they can do it as much as they want,” Bensman told Breitbart News. The point is to get governors and mayors in northern Mexico where the maquiladoras [oursourced U .S outsourcing factories] are, to start complaining to [Mexican President Andrés Manuel López] Obrador, and Obrador is then going to...

“‘For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven’” (Matthew 5:20). The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were entirely concerned with a mere external observance of God’s law, giving almost no consideration to motives or attitude. In Matthew 23:25, Jesus gives a descriptive view of such useless religion: “You are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” Because of that terrible condition, our Lord labeled the scribes and Pharisees as “hypocrites.”...

Nearly a third of Americans, just over 30%, have had to cut grocery spending to afford rising gas prices, according to a Quinnipiac University survey. Americans report continuously feeling frustrated with high gas prices, as over one in four Americans blame the Biden Administration’s economic policies as being most responsible. The poll found similar numbers of independent voters agreeing Biden’s policies are most to blame. These numbers stand as a contrast from Washington Democrats’ argument, who blame “Putin’s price hike.” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy asks, “What is more responsible when topping off the tank hurts? A raging war...
