“We are overly sensitive to the point of denying freedom of worship to Jews!” The world instinctively blamed Israel for the violence at the Temple Mount this past weekend, ignoring almost entirely the facts of the events as they unfolded and Israel’s stated and demonstrated commitment to maintaining the status quo. It was no surprise that Muslim nations were among the loudest to condemn Israel, though it was a bit disconcerting to find our new Abraham Accords allies among them. But that same day the United Arab Emirates also agreed to take part in Israel’s upcoming Independence Day celebrations, showing...

President Biden on Wednesday said the Ukrainian people have exceeded his expectations at a dinner with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and other military officials. “I don’t know about you, but I’ve been to Ukraine a number of times. I’ve spoken with them a lot. I was deeply involved. And I knew they were tough and proud. But I can tell you what, they are tougher and more proud than I thought,” Biden said.

Over the past 120 years, Satan has been subtly laying the foundation for the creation of new world order (NWO), specifically, at the cost of the United States of America. What is of interest to this article, is not that it’s happening (we know that already), but who Satan is sacrificing our nation for, what the past five presidents have done in expediting this process, and who, of our current crop of leaders might take on the mantel of Antichrist. While we (the Church) will not be here to identify who this coming world leader is specifically, we can look...

A reporter has told Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot that she has a cheek to talk of running for re-election given soaring crime in the Windy City. The journalist, named only as Rob, took Lightfoot to task during a question and answer session Wednesday, saying: 'Real Chicagoans are asking me, how can you possibly even consider running for re-election for mayor of the city of the Chicago after all the harm you've caused?' Lightfoot kept her cool but was clearly rattled by the ambush, and responded: 'I disagree with you fundamentally and I don't think I need to address and dignify...

On Wednesday, appearing on the LindellTV with Emerald Robinson, former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, advocated for ending U.S. military aid to Ukraine to protect them from the Russian invasion. "Let me give you my judgment on where we are right now," said Flynn. "I think that anybody that anyone that continues to put fuel on a blazing fire, meaning more weapons, more ammunition, more of the sort of warfare-type stuff that's thrown into this fire is going to keep this fire blazing for a long, long time. And I think that doesn't benefit anybody."

urned all policing policies over to BLM, the media have become obsessed with convincing us that it's all the fault of the pandemic. (At least they're not blaming it on Putin this time.) In its coverage of the subway shooting by a rage-filled black nationalist last week, The New York Times inserted its pandemic theory of crime into nearly every update (emphasis added): -- "Shootings in New York City rose during 2022's first quarter compared with the same period last year ... the continuation of a drumbeat of violence that emerged early in the PANDEMIC, and has not ebbed with...

The embattled Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was rocked again this week when an insider favored for the top job was abruptly demoted after being passed over a second time by President Joe Biden. Reports said that Acting Director Marvin Richardson, the top black at the agency who had 30 years with ATF, announced Monday that he was being shoved aside by the White House. Biden last week chose a white lawyer to be head of sprawling law enforcement agency after his first pick, another white male, bowed out under pressure. “The news that he was being replaced...

“For a Catholic freedom... in the Catholic Church”: Fr Claude Barthe on the prospects of a different era to come (Originally published in French at Res Novae on April 1, 2022)The present pontificate, with its turmoil, could well constitute, if not the terminal phase of the post-Vatican II era, at least the approach of its end. Provided, of course, that there are men of the Church who have the necessary determination to turn the page.Unquestionably, today we find ourselves in a pre-conclave atmosphere[1]. This does not mean that the cardinal electors will be meeting tomorrow in the Sistine Chapel....

Animal control officers say it's unclear how the sneaky snake, who they've named Wolverine, ended up at America's favorite supercenter. Maybe it just wanted a snack? Or was looking for a new heated rock to decorate its enclosure? Regardless of how it got there, animal control graciously gave the snake a new place to stay... one that's far away from people shopping for groceries. Wolverine is in the market for a forever home! Wolverine would do best with an experienced snake owner. Animal control said the snake is "a bit stressed and slightly spicy" but is getting used to being...

Rhode Island Democrats want to punish the parents of children who refused to submit to the COVID vaccine mandates. If passed, the bill will financially cripple individuals by doubling their personal income tax and requiring them to pay a monthly fine of $50.

The bill’s text can be read here. (See link) The law will apply to every person...

Meanwhile, food prices in the U.S. are rising at historic rates, while prices for commodities like wheat and corn are at their highest levels in a decade. What’s more, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that food-at-home prices will see an increase of up to 4% by the end of 2022. “It’s particularly severe because we are just coming out of a recovery from a two-and-a-half-year pandemic that had severe implications on the prices of goods and services as well as the price of commodities,” according to Johanna Mendelson-Forman, adjunct professor at the American University in the School of International...

The German government released their version of the producer price index for inflation, and they are reporting 30.9% inflation for products leaving German factories. [DETAILS HERE] That’s the highest rate of inflation since shortly after the second world war. The inflation rate is being driven mostly by energy costs which are more than 80% higher than last year. However, each nation’s overall inflation rate is also driven by the amount of central bank spending they used during the COVID economic lockdowns. The more any govt spent on subsidies, the more money they printed, the more they devalued their money and...
