[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Aguer: Vatican Resurrects Evil "Spirit of the Council"Francis persistence in mockingly those who have a secure faith is a cause of astonishment, bewilderment, and concern, writes retired Archbishop Hector Aguer on Rorate-caeli.blogspot.com (May 3).He complains that Francis is reviling Catholics as "rigorous Pharisees” and contradicts the Bible and John Paul II's and Benedict XVI's teaching.For Aguer, Francis' relativistic moralism reduces faith, morals and spirituality into Kant's practical reason and submits to the dictates of a New World Order wanted by Freemasonry and the international money imperialism.Aguer writes that “the Vatican is a hive of Freemasons, who help...

The Freeper Canteen Presents....~ It’s Kentucky Derby Time!! ~ Barbershop Quartet ~ Star Spangled BannerCall To The Post KENTUCKY DERBY TROPHY Since the 50th running of the Kentucky Derby in 1924, Churchill Downs has annually presented a gold trophy to the winning owner of the famed "Run for the Roses." History is unclear if a trophy was presented in 1875 to the winner of the first Kentucky Derby, and trophy presentations were sporadically made in following years. Finally, in 1924, legendary Churchill Downs President Matt Winn commissioned that a standard design be developed for the "Golden Anniversary" of the...

Mayor Lori Lightfoot vowed Monday to take on anyone who may seek to deny her a second term in office. The comments come as a spate of violent incidents downtown threatened to overshadow the mayor’s effort to encourage workers and tourists to return to the Loop and Michigan Avenue and emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. After two people were shot behind the Chicago Theatre just after 5 p.m., Sunday night’s performance of the musical “Moulin Rouge” was canceled, a high-profile embarrassment to the mayor who has begun making her case for re-election to Chicago voters rattled by persistently high violent...

Joanna Barnes, an actress known for her roles in The Parent Trap and Tarzan: The Ape Man, has died. She was 87. The actress passed Friday at her Sea Ranch, Calif., home after enduring "multiple health problems," her close friend Sally Jackson told The Hollywood Reporter. Born Nov. 15, 1934 in Boston, Barnes graduated from Smith College in 1956 before making the move to Hollywood, where she appeared in such television shows as Maverick and Colt .45 before going on to play Jane Porter in 1959's Tarzan: The Ape Man.

This week, President Biden denounced Trump supporters as "the worst extremists in our country's history." Inasmuch as the Klu Klux Klan terrorized blacks for decades—murdering and lynching them—and Antifa has been instigating riots that have caused billions of dollars in damage and dozens of deaths of innocent bystanders over the last few years, Biden's judgment raised some eyebrows. Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained the President's thoughts on the topic, emphasizing that "scope of impact is an important determinant. While no specific deaths or destruction can be clearly attributed to Trump supporters as a group, they were able to seize control...

Joe and Jill Biden welcomed the wife of Mexico’s president to the White House to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. From there, the US president delivered an onslaught of senior moments in the span of just a few minutes. To start, he apparently didn’t know that the woman he was hosting was not actually the President of Mexico. And no, this was not him trying to be funny, as evidenced by how serious he is and the lack of laughter. He legitimately didn’t realize. Another uncomfortable scene involved Biden not being able to recognize his granddaughter, despite the fact she was...

Two of Michigan’s top Democrats are neck-and-neck with Republican opponents in their races for reelection this year, according to a new GOP internal polling memo. The poll was conducted by ARW Strategies from April 18 to 20, and the results were released Thursday by Republican Matthew DePerno, who is hoping to unseat Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) in November.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has been "madder than hell" since the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion that overturns Roe v Wade. The outspoken liberal politician continued her strong defense of Roe during a Friday segment on ABC’s The View. During her guest appearance, Warren offered several extreme hypotheticals on how the U.S. government could abuse women if Roe v Wade is gutted in the near future. She fretted that miscarriages could be "investigated" by the police or that women might be punished for accidentally injuring their unborn babies while picking up packages in the mail. She also worried...

President Biden’s new press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, is in a domestic partnership with CNN anchor Suzanne Malveaux, further illustrating the extent of the White House’s incestuous relationship with the mainstream media. The two have been in a same-sex partnership and currently have an adopted daughter. Malveaux earned a degree in sociology at Harvard University before attending Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Having previously served as a White House correspondent and primary substitute for Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room, Malveaux has also co-anchored CNN’s Around the World and editions of CNN Newsroom, according to The Sun. Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief...

President Biden on Friday told a story involving an Amtrak conductor who supposedly grabbed his cheeks and shouted “Joey, baby!” — despite facts contradicting the tale, which Biden has told on at least six prior occasions as president. The amusing anecdote — in which Biden apes former Amtrak conductor Angelo Negri’s Italian-American accent — was declared “False” last year by CNN “Facts First” journalist Daniel Dale.

The post-recession jobs boom continued in April with another strong employment report. We’ll also look at President Biden’s call to the GOP to help fight inflation and the cryptocurrency sanctions crackdown. But first … they’re on opposite sides of the aisle, but these two senators once bonded over a NSFW song.

New compilation from the Andover, KS EF3 tornado intercept on April 30, 2022 including Dominator Drone and ground perspectives. Audio has been softened for the faint of heart.

We hope that this drone footage can advance our understanding of the tornado relationship with the ground and the influence of friction. Tornado footage from Andover, Kansas drone and...

New Mexicans will see thousands more electric vehicles available to buy in 2025 when a rule approved by two environmental boards takes effect. Dubbed the clean-car rule, it will require that electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids make up at least 7 percent of automakers’ new sales within New Mexico — adding up to an estimated 3,800 vehicles. The rule aligns with California's current standards and is part of the larger effort to cut climate-warming greenhouse gases as well as ground-level ozone and particulates that can cause respiratory problems. It will undergo a two-year waiting period to allow manufacturers, car dealers...

The ruling supporting the law, which DeSantis (R) signed during a Fox News appearance last year, means it is likely to be in effect for the midterm elections in November, when DeSantis will be up for reelection. The law limits dropbox sites, makes it a crime to possess more than two ballots at a time, and prohibits “line warming” practices, such as offering water or chairs, for voters waiting outside polling places.

Several Democratic lawmakers and activists who voiced concerns that a potential overturn of Roe v. Wade could lead to a similar fate for Loving v. Virginia's interracial marriage protections were blasted by conservatives for wild rhetoric. At an abortion rights rally in Philadelphia, Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., characterized the Supreme Court as "extremist" and claimed, "If Roe can be overturned, what's next: gay marriage, Brown v. Board, Loving v. Virginia?" Dean added that courts are already "chipping away… at our voting rights." During an appearance on "The View," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., worried the U.S. doesn't "have a long history...

President Joe Biden on Friday again spoke fondly of the old days when he served with segregationists in the United States Senate. “Things have kind of changed since the days when I first got there,” he mused, recalling he was first elected at the age of 29.

May 6—MORGANTOWN — Incumbent West Virginia Congressmen David McKinley and Alex Mooney appeared on MetroNews' Talkline Thursday morning for the closest thing to a debate in their campaigns to win the GOP nomination to the new 2nd Congressional District in Tuesday's primary. Host Hoppy Kercheval called the format "a good, spirited discussion." The campaigns turned negative quickly after redistricting trimmed the Congressional districts from three to two and the new map pitted them against each other—with Mooney firing the first salvos. The tension was visible Thursday. Except for a brief handshake at the end, they didn't look at or talk...

“‘When you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you’” (Matthew 6:3–4). The most satisfying, God-blessed giving is that which we do and then forget about. We do not wait for or want recognition—we’re not even concerned whether the recipient is grateful or not. The act should be so discreet that even our left hand will not realize what happened. The Old Testament describes giving as a part of God’s...
