ELEVENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 6:7-15 Friends, today’s Gospel gives us the Our Father. It asks that God’s will be done "on earth as it is in heaven," but biblical cosmology sees these two realms as interpenetrating fields of force. Heaven, the arena of God and the angels, touches upon and calls out to earth, the arena of humans, animals, plants, and planets. Salvation, therefore, is a matter of the meeting of heaven and earth, so that God might reign as thoroughly here below as he does on high. Jesus’ great prayer, which is constantly on the lips of...

State Attorney General Ken Paxton is facing backlash after he told a conservative radio host that “God has a plan” for the third and fourth graders gunned down last month at an elementary school in Uvalde. In a May 29 interview with conservative host Trey Graham, published just five days after an 18-year-old shooter massacred 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary school, he said that it was “difficult to give comfort” to the families of the victims. “If I lost one of my children I’d be pretty devastated, especially in a way that is so senseless and seemingly...

Researchers from Beijing Normal University published their findings in a report Tuesday. In the report, translated using Google Translate, the team claims to have discovered “several cases of possible technological traces of extraterrestrial civilizations from outside the Earth.” Those traces include narrowband signals, which are used for short-range transmissions. According to the report, “electromagnetic waves are the most suitable carrier or messenger for interstellar communication. Regardless of wind or rain, (the waves) can penetrate the earth’s atmosphere regardless of weather.” Peng Bo, a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory, said that the signals are likely alien civilizations, but they are...

ne day about seven months ago, I was standing in a dark room in a hospital not far from Tel Aviv, performing an ultrasound on the taut belly of a woman well into her third trimester. She was 35 weeks pregnant, due in about a month. She and I felt the fetus kick, right under the ultrasound probe. “Strong one!” I said in Hebrew. She smiled. I managed to freeze a sweet picture of the bow-shaped fetal upper lip, and pressed “Print,” to give to her later. ... At that point, I needed to tell her about that small head...

When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. –Proverbs 29:2.And there’s a whole lot of mourning going on. Here’s a partial list of some recent observations.In 2020, we reelected President Trump in an historic landslide, but in a handful of key states, through several coordinated methods (including foot soldier election fraud and computerized voting machine manipulation), the election was stolen in the dead of election night. Joe Biden was not elected President. It was a criminal coup that put him there.There was NO “attack” on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th,...

Voicing concern about a possible Chinese invasion of his country, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu warned Israel – in an exclusive interview on Monday – from relying too heavily on China. “China is an authoritarian country and they do business in a very different philosophy,” Wu told The Jerusalem Post in a video interview from his office in Taipei. “Sometimes they use trade as a weapon, and we have seen them practicing their weaponized trade relations with many other countries. “They did it to Lithuania, they did it to the Czech Republic and they also did it to Australia. Sometimes...

There have been 112 speakers, signs, statues and other targets completely canceled on campus during the last academic year, and another 74 attempted cancelations, according to The College Fix’s Campus Cancel Culture Database, which tracks such incidents. That amounts to a total of 186 campus cancel culture incidents from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. Put another way, there have been almost four campus cancel incidents per week over the past school year. “For people who claim that cancel culture is a made up right-wing phenomenon, I invite them to scroll through page after page after page of our...

U.S. energy exports are booming at the very time domestic gasoline and diesel prices are at or near their peaks. With America’s fuel prices expected to rise even further, the “resource nationalism” debate — should we be exporting commodities we need? — is heating up. According to new tanker cargo volume data from Kpler, U.S. crude exports averaged 3.13 million barrels/day (b/d) in January-May. That’s the best first five months of the year ever. Exports of clean petroleum products — including the diesel and gasoline in such high demand domestically — averaged 2.32 million b/d. That’s the best first five...

econstructing whiteness in an introductory physics classroom may seem like a nonsensical goal, but according to a pair of critical whiteness scholars from Seattle Pacific University, this endeavor is actually an important step toward the larger undertaking of freeing students and professors alike from the weighty fetters of whiteness. Funded through a $495,847 National Science Foundation grant, researchers Amy Robertson and W. Tali Hairston aim “to develop a knowledge base that could lead to awareness of how power relations may be embedded in the way physics is taught and learned.” The two record introductory physics classes and interview participants, then...

Fr. James Martin argues there’s no conflict between Pride Month and Sacred Heart devotionAccording to the Jesuit priest, ‘many LGBTQ people aren’t doing anything at all against church teaching.’ Pope Francis meets with Father James Martin in private audience (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-LGBT Jesuit Father James Martin doubled down on his support for the LGBT agenda in a Tuesday article in which he asserted that the Catholic liturgical calendar’s June devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is actually “complementary” with “Pride Month,” which celebrates people who engage in homosexual lifestyles.In an article published by Martin’s newly founded organization Outreach, which...

The CDC has issued bizarre guidance telling Americans infected with monkeypox to have sex by masturbating at least six feet away from their partner, among other recommendations. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says anyone who has the disease must not have sex.

As Rebecca wrote yesterday, the World Health Organization that’s totally in bed with China is renaming Monkeypox. It’s racist. There’s a stigma attached to it. It’s now called MPVX which doesn’t sound better. It sounds like a STD, but that’s not the point. It’s the whole ‘we need to change virus’ names because of stigma’ nonsense. Where was this during COVID? There are numerous examples of stigma during COVID. Blue America mocked the Delta wave, then karma hit with Omicron; everyone got it. you all saw the meltdowns. All these Whole Foods-shopping liberals who mocked the unvaccinated started to get...

Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a historian at New York University, and the author of the book, “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.” She has studied the backsliding of democracy, from the US to Russia, and elsewhere. In a wide-ranging interview, she told Insider that in light of the January 6 hearings, Trump might have to be prosecuted in order to save American democracy ahead of the 2024 election. In that context, she said that DeSantis could take his place as a populist nominee… “Now, if that does happen to Trump — DeSantis has already absorbed all the lessons of Trump”… “He’s clearly...

ExxonMobil pushed back against the accusations President Biden lobbed against oil companies in his letter to executives this week. The company said it has “invested more than any other company to develop U.S. oil and gas supplies” at a cost of more than $50 billion in the last five years. These investments have brought about a nearly 50 percent increase in the company’s U.S. production. “Globally, we’ve invested double what we’ve earned over the past five years -- $118 billion on new oil and gas supplies compared to net income of $55 billion,” the company said in a statement. “This...

On his Wednesday night show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes and his liberal guest trashed the backlash to children attending drag shows as "scary," "bizarre," "disgusting" and "violent." Journalist Parker Molloy told Hayes that conservatives and Republican politicians who oppose children at drag events view LGBTQ people "as a threat to be around children." On screen it read, "The far right threat: Right wing extremists ramp up LGBTQ hate." The pair complained about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signaling he would be open to signing a bill that would punish parents who took their children to drag shows. "You have multiple lawmakers...

The Biden Administration blasted the Trump southern border wall and canceled all further funding. Yet it just appropriated $40 billion to Ukraine to ensure that it does not lose its border war against Russian aggression.

Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti on Thursday pleaded guilty to several federal charges in California and admitted to stealing millions of dollars from clients.

Since the Russian army attacked Ukraine nearly four months ago, thousands of civilians have been killed and whole towns reduced to rubble, while millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes. But on Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov looked me in the eye and told me things were not as they seemed. "We didn't invade Ukraine," he claimed.
