Harassing people at the library is a “protest” when it’s done by idiots on the left, but a “hate crime” when it’s done by idiots on the rightThis video was filmed in 2015 at a library at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Dartmouth is an Ive League college which will be charging $60,687 in tuition (plus an additional $1,971 in “fees,” $10,881 for housing, and $7,218 for food) for the 2022-2023 school year.$7,218 for one year’s worth of food? When I went to college, I had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Maybe instead of forgiving student debt,...

Amidst his push to freeze handgun purchases in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the right to self-defense with a gun does not exist in Canada. Trudeau told the left-wing podcast “Pod Save America” that in Canada guns can be used for hunting or recreational shooting, but not self-defense. He made these comments when comparing Canadian gun culture to that in the United States. “We have a culture where the difference is, guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in Canada, and there are lots of gun owners, and they’re mostly law-respecting and law-abiding, but you...

Soaring gasoline prices (they’re up 49 percent since President Biden took office) are due to “Putin’s price hikes,” claims Biden. But last I checked, Putin wasn’t stateside canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline, pursuing efforts to end federal oil and gas leasing programs, and careening our country toward more Covid-like lockdowns, social isolation, supply chain shortages, and another summer crime wave. A brief recap of Biden’s oil and gastastrophe: in January 2021, during his first days in office, the president revoked the Keystone Pipeline permit and issued an executive order that, in his own typically eloquent words, directed the “Secretary of...

The January 6 Select Committee sought on Monday to highlight that Rudy Giuliani was “inebriated” during election night of 2020 in an apparent effort to discredit him and former President Donald Trump. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said, “President Trump rejected advice of his campaign experts on election night, and instead followed the course recommended by an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just claim that he won and insist the vote-counting stop, to falsely claim everything was fraudulent.”

Memorial of Saint Anthony of Padua, Priest and Doctor of the Church Matthew 5:38-42 Friends, today, in the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord exhorts us to nonresistance to evil. Martin Luther King Jr. was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi’s techniques, and Gandhi learned them, largely, from the Sermon on the Mount. Both Gandhi and King appreciated that the text dealing with the nonresistance to evil has nothing to do with passivity in the face of injustice, but rather with a new and distinctive type of resistance. Consider the Lord’s injunction, "When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn...

Allegations of racism are at the heart of the sudden resignation of trans Lutheran Bishop the Reverend Dr. Megan Rohrer, but court documents also reveal allegations of corruption tied to a now-closed San Francisco church that they once led. The catalyst for Rohrer's resignation as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was their firing of a Latino pastor at a church in the Central Valley last December. But documents and court records show Rohrer's brief tenure was marked by controversy, with some incidents, such as the closure of their former church in San...

Target has announced that it will cut prices and cancel orders for thousands of its products, as part of a frantic effort to clear out billions in backed-up inventory. The pent-up products consist of bulky items such as furniture, that were a commodity during the pandemic but have fallen out of favor now that restrictions have loosened, Target said Tuesday. The company says it had nearly $15.1 billion of inventory as of April 30, the end of the first first fiscal quarter. The amount serves as nearly 50 percent more than that seen just a year ago. Some of the...

A California city councilman says he was attacked with a hunk of concrete while hiking with his family in San Francisco — leaving him with neck injuries and a 2-inch gash to his skull. Anders Fung, a Hong Kong native representing voters in Millbrae, insists he was targeted in an unprovoked assault Saturday at Lands End in northwestern San Francisco, where two young men in hoodies allegedly tossed a concrete block at him from above. “When my family confronted the perpetrators demanding them to stop, one of them gave my family an obscene hand gesture before fleeing the crime scene,”...

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.

[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.
