What the McElroy Appointment Says About the Church’s Commitment to Sex Abuse VictimsIt wasn’t long into my study of the sex abuse crisis in the Church that I realized that many or even most bishops customarily respond to a report about abuse 1) by feeling sorry for themselves that they have another mess on their hands; 2) by feeling sorry for the priest whose priesthood may be ruined; and 3) by trying to figure out how to get the victim to remain silent and go away. There is rarely, if ever, any true concern shown for the victim; sometimes counseling...

VIDEOOn Election Night 2020, Chris Stirewalt of Fox News REFUSED to call Florida for Trump despite the fact that 91% of the vote was in with President Trump ahead by almost 400,000 votes which is why Fox had already assigned a 95% chance of a Trump victory in that state. Added to this ABSURDITY is the fact that it was mostly the very conservative Panhandle counties whose votes remained to be counted because their polls closed an hour later due to the time zone difference. Yes, liberal Broward County has a well deserved reputation for reporting their tallies late but...

Arab Israeli Zionist activist Yoseph Haddad participated in a UN Watch press conference in response to the latest United Nations document, the “Pillay Report,” which “turns a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism and embraces the Hamas narrative that Israel is the root cause of all conflict,”according to UN Watch. “As an Israeli, I am not surprised to be discussing another UN report which excessively bashed my country here in the UN in Geneva. In fact, it’s more of the same old same old,” Haddad said. “But you know what? As an Arab, I’m absolutely fed up. I’m fed up because...

DeSantis sounds off on 'Fox & Friends' after man arrested for Brett Kavanaugh murder plot

All he had to do was end the COVID-19 lockdowns and let the economy recover on its own. Instead, President Joe Biden spent trillions trying to “transform” the country, and now, everyone, especially the nation's poorest, is paying the price for his hubris. The Labor Department reported Friday that inflation rose to 8.6% in the 12 months ending in May, its highest level in more than 40 years. Virtually no sector of the economy was left untouched. Gas is up 48.7% from a year ago, electricity 12%, groceries 11.9%, and rent 5.9%. These price increases are not, as White House...

Financial experts and insiders have, for well over a decade, warned that a collapse of the U.S. currency is a mathematical inevitability, and this collapse will have global ramifications, as the dollar is the world’s reserve currency U.S. inflation is currently at 8.3%, but in some markets, it’s in the double digits. Used car sales, for example, have seen an inflation rate of 22.7% in the past 12 months. Globally, food prices increased by 29.8% between April 2021 and April 2022 In 2011, George Soros stated that economic collapse is “foreseen” and that authorities were simply buying time before the...

The stock market plummeted more than 600 points when it opened on Monday over inflation while President Joe Biden crowed over a revisionist job market and non-existent savings by Americans. “The job market is the strongest it has been since WWII, notwithstanding the inflation. […] Millions of Americans are moving up to better jobs and better pay, and since I took office, families are carrying less debt on average in America, they have more savings,” Biden said in a speech in Los Angeles. The S&P 500 is now officially in bear market territory as global stocks tumble and bond yields...

“The (SBU) Security Service of Ukraine, along with the police, have conducted a comprehensive check of persons in Lysychansk, from the mobile devices of whoom information about our military may have been leaked,” Hayday said. “Significantly, these Russian agents transmitted data through the Starlink satellite network. This is exactly the network installed in all our humanitarian headquarters.” According to the regional governor, the collaborators came to a humanitarian aid station, received help, and then cooperated with Russian forces, he said. “They came, took humanitarian aid, asked for help, received it, and without leaving the headquarters, betrayed Ukraine,” he said. "They...

[Catholic Caucus] What in the WHAT, Bishop Callahan?!?!‘Monsignor GRIDR’ Gets New Parish, Fr. Altman Remains SidelinedJune 12, 2022 from Complicit Clergy by StaffLast July, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the highest-ranking non-bishop Church official in the country, was forced to resign his position because he was routinely using apps like GRINDR that connect men who want to have sex with other men. Burrill, now often times referred to as ‘Monsignor GRIDR,’ is incarnated in the diocese of La Crosse under the authority of Bishop William Callahan.”OK, let’s set aside the fact that...

We refuse to care about stupid Democrat obsessions. We don't care about climate change. It's a hoax designed to fill the hole in lib souls that used to be filled with faith, and for the ruling caste, it's a tool to steal our money and freedom. We don't care about some alleged moral necessity to disarm normal Americans. When they whine, "The purpose of guns is to hurt people," we nod. Yes, they are. Our guns never have and never will hurt anyone who is not a criminal or an aspiring tyrant. But when those categories of bad people get...

“Occasionally the military manages to evacuate someone,” said Hayday.According to him, there is no threat of Ukrainian troops getting surrounded in Luhansk oblast. Hayday also reported that two bridges leading to Severodonetsk had been destroyed, and the remaining third one is "old and in a critical condition", which makes it impossible for trucks to use it. In the event of the destruction of this bridge, the regional center will be cut off, said the head of the Luhansk oblast.“There is no evacuation from Severodonetsk,” he added.“Given recent events, the only way out of the city is on foot over the...

Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections, according to three sources familiar with the matter. People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis, who — if they both run in 2024 —...

CNN is experiencing the “life comes at you fast” adage in real time as a poor government prediction it touted on skyrocketing gas prices came back to haunt the network. CNN reporter Matt Egan published a Dec. 8 story with a foolish headline that needs no explanation in light of recent news on gas prices: “Gas prices will tumble below $3 a gallon soon, government forecasts.” Egan propagandized the government’s crystal ball on Twitter: “Sub-$3 gas is coming soon? @EIAgov projects prices at the pump will average $2.88 in 2022. Fast-forward six months later, and CNN would run another story...

A Danish women’s rights activist challenged a man who wants to believe he is a lesbian. Men cannot be lesbians, she said, and men cannot be mothers. He was offended by her words and reported her to the police. The police opened an investigation. If convicted she faces up to three years in prison. It sounds unbelievable like something from Orwell’s 1984, but it’s a true story happening now. Selfishly, the man, who cannot be a lesbian nor a mother even after an investigation, is helping the Party to usher in Orwell’s dystopian thought police (“Thinkpol”). “The purpose of Newspeak...

Heavens to Betsy! The “far right” conspiracy theorist prophets are vindicated again. No longer “conspiracy theory,” youth blood-sucking is official “fact” because the gatekeeping corporate media now acknowledges it. Via The Telegraph: “As macabre as it sounds, science is beginning to discover that ‘youth transplants’ really can slow down the ageing process. The fountain of youth, it seems, is youth itself.” “Youth transplants” is a euphemism for sucking out the vital fluids of baby/child “donors” and injecting them into aging recipients: “Although nobody is suggesting we siphon the bodily fluids of youngsters into our elderly… infusing cerebrospinal fluid of young...

A massive spill of an unknown substance has been detected in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. According to the Swedish Coast Guard, who detected the spill on June 8, the affected surface area is 77 km2 (30 mi2) and is located in both Swedish and Finnish waters. “What the spill consists of is still not clear but it is not mineral oil, and there is currently no immediate threat of landfall,” the coast guard said. It said it had mapped the spill using planes and also collected samples, adding that it would not be able to comment...

[Puerto Rico] Gasoline Retailers Association President Esdras Vélez stated that, in order to mitigate the impact of the high cost of fuel on people's pockets, sales at gasoline stations have decreased by 20%. "At this time, consumption has been decreasing drastically [as shown by] general sales. What we are talking about is that stations are selling about 20% less than what would be sold during normal periods," Vélez reported to El Vocero [newspaper]. He indicated that, for three months now, gasoline retailers have begun to pay over 50% more in the price of regular gasoline, which, coupled with the volatile...
