[Catholic Caucus] The Traditional Latin Mass, And All The Church's Patrimony, Threaten The Pope And His Progressive Agendas Let's recap events of the past few weeks - events that involved the attempts to quash the Mass of the Ages.

The video ad posted by the Florida Republican Party marks the opening of his reelection effort and touches on his coronavirus fight, his battles with liberal media, and his matter-of-fact style of governing. As he’s shown reading letters, a mix of voices says, “Dear Gov. DeSantis. I've never written a political leader. But I'm writing to express my appreciation for keeping us Floridians free and thriving. A governor who says what he is going to do and then does it.” The 60-second ad repeats the word “freedom” as it shows the governor going through his day. Without your leadership, we...

More New York City families are foregoing traditional public schools in favor of homeschooling, state data analyzed by The Post shows. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Big Apple homeschool students has more than doubled, to roughly 12,900 kids, according to the data. The surge in city parents opting to homeschool coincides with a nationwide trend sparked by the pandemic — one that has continued even with the return of in-person classes. “I like being engaged and involved in their lives,” said Julie Kvyatkovsky, a single mom of 9 year old twin daughters in Brooklyn, who...

The U.S. is running out of time to prevent a cataclysmic war in the Western Pacific. While the world has been focused on Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, Xi Jinping appears to be preparing for an even more consequential onslaught against Taiwan. Mr. Xi’s China is fueled by a dangerous mix of strength and weakness: Faced with profound economic, demographic and strategic problems, it will be tempted to use its burgeoning military power to transform the existing order while it still has the opportunity.This peaking-power syndrome—the tendency for rising states to become more aggressive as they become more fearful of...

The left’s obsession with centering everything on race and sex has reached a new and despicable low with an upcoming movie called “The Woman King.”The “historical epic film” centers around the real African kingdom of Dahomey, which existed during the Scramble for Africa in the age of empires, around 1800 to 1904.Viola Davis plays General Nanisca, leader of an all-female band of warriors known as the Dahomey Amazons, as she struggles against European attempts to conquer the kingdom....The weirdest thing about this controversy surrounding the trailer is that the story of Dahomey is a genuinely interesting historical narrative....Maybe I’m all...

The Biden administration has again declared a national ‘public health emergency’ — this time, over monkeypox. As of August 2nd, there have been no monkeypox deaths in the United States and fewer than ten deaths reported worldwide. President Biden’s health secretary Xavier Becerra declared the monkeypox outbreak a ‘national health emergency,’ a once-rare designation that has become a political weapon for elected leaders who want to obviate the law or implement unconstitutional measures. Last week, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency over the outbreak. The Biden administration’s declaration of the ‘national health emergency’ will authorize federal agencies...

[Catholic Caucus] The Death of a ParishSaint Francis de Sales in Benedict, MarylandAs of September 21st Catholics in the Archdiocese of Washington who prefer the traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will be herded like prisoners of war into three officially designated camps, like native Americans onto a federal reservation. This while Pope Francis parades through Canada on an official apology tour for the Church’s role in doing the very same thing to the children of indigenous peoples in the residential schools.One of these is a crime and the other a necessity for the spiritual good of those who just don’t...

Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug charges in a Russian court on Thursday. Shortly after being found guilty, she was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison. The prosecution was reportedly seeking nine and a half years. Griner is being used as a political pawn. Now, with the sentencing, it forces the hand of President Joe Biden to do something sooner rather than later and get the American citizen out of Russian prison. The American justice system is far from perfect, but this outrageous sentencing should put things into perspective for everyone, including LeBron James, about how unjust other...

Four current and former Louisville Police officers have been charged by the FBI in connection with the deadly raid at Breonna Taylor’s apartment in 2020. Ex-LPMD detectives Joshua Jaynes, 40, and Brett Hankison, 46 are all facing federal civil rights charges for their actions in the Taylor investigation.

Jaynes was fired by the Louisville Metro Police in January 2021, in Kentucky, for adding a false statement to his sworn affidavit for the 'no knock' warrant to search Taylor's apartment over her drug dealer ex-boyfriend....

I want to put before you some thoughts on the meaning of the crucifix (Lat., “A crucified is my beloved”). I have in mind the standard crucifix found in a parish church, with a white unblemished corpus, depicting Our Lord still alive, and “INRI” written above. Like all Christians, I love a plain cross of wood, which invites us to embrace it. But the crucifix seems an even superior object of devotion. Can we say why? There are two traditional reasons. First, the crucifix – more than a plain cross -resembles the serpent on a stake: “as Moses lifted up...

I am not a doctor of theology, but I never realized Whoopi Goldberg was a theology expert. Per Jewish tradition, I pray to God three times a day. I get the feeling the big guy upstairs does listen to my appeals despite that his answers aren’t always yes. I learned yesterday that when Whoopi prays to God, she gets an answer, not via a feeling in her heart, but a real direct answer…God told Whoopi that he supports Abortion.

A jury in Austin ordered Alex Jones to pay $4.1 million to the parents who lost children in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School who sued the InfoWars host for defamation. Jones was sued by the parents after the radio host and conspiracy theorist said the Sandy Hook massacre, the deadliest mass shooting at a U.S. elementary school, was “completely fake” and a “giant hoax” during a 2017 radio show. Opening statements and testimony for the trial began last week, and the jury broke for deliberations on Wednesday.
