Dr. Anthony Fauci has an important message for Black Americans: get a booster shot. In a recent interview with TheGrio, Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, urged the Black community to get a Covid booster shot in preparation of the fall surge, when the Covid infection rates are expected to rise.

(Reuters) - Kentucky's highest court on Thursday refused to stop the state from enforcing two laws banning most abortions while it considers a legal challenge by abortion clinics. The 5-2 majority of the Supreme Court of Kentucky said that the clinics had not shown that there was "extraordinary cause" for a temporary order blocking the two laws. The court did not address the merits of the case. "We are pleased with this victory for life and the rule of law and will continue to prepare for the arguments the Court has scheduled," Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said in a...

The motives behind the FBI’s raid of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago are many. All relate to corruption in our government. None provide support for the raid. President Trump unclassified documents related to Russiagate, the Deep State’s attempted coup of the Trump Administration. Then he filed a RICO suit against the government. This scared the bad actors in the Deep State.

The End of Russian Oil This newsletter is an adapted excerpt from Peter’s upcoming book, The End of the World is Just the Beginning. Think the Europeans will need to get by without Russian crude? You are 100% correct. But you are not thinking anywhere near big enough. Most of Russia’s oil fields are both old and extraordinarily remote from Russia’s customers. Fields in the North Caucasus are either tapped out or were never refurbished in the aftermath of the Chechen Wars, those of Russia’s Tatarstan and Bashkortostan provinces are well past their peak, and even western Siberian fields have...

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Thursday on Newsmax’s “Spicer & Co.” CNN’s mantra was, “Anything that gets Trump is OK.” Dershowitz said, “Talk about a law school exam. I know something about that. I did it for 50 years. When I gave a law school exam, I would say list all the crimes and then exercise judgment and show which crimes should be prosecuted. If Larry Tribe, Professor Tribe, was in my class, he would have failed because one of the things he said on CNN is that, in his judgment, his former student Merrick Garland should be...

The story here is that Hageman said she received a “two-second” voicemail from Cheney that didn’t mention a concession. In a petty fit of rage, the Cheney camp ran to give a recording to Politico purporting to be the voicemail which included a concession. That led Stephen Hayes, who was just salivating to have his priors confirmed, to launch into a rant about how Hageman is a liar who is just out seeking “MAGApplause.” Of course, that was a completely unfair characterization of Hageman, who spent her campaign focusing on the issues people care about in Wyoming while Cheney played...

In Summer 1922, in the grand Symphony Hall of Petrograd (St. Petersburg), a mock trail was held. 86 Christian Orthodox clergymen and laymen were accused of "resistance to the expropriation of Church valuables"; four of them, including Metropolitan Benjamin of Petrograd, were sentenced to death and killed on August 13. Their grave site has never been found. One hundred years later, on August 13, when the Orthodox Church observes the memory of the New Martyr Metropolitan Benjamin and those who suffered with him, in the same Symphony Hall of St. Petersburg, a solemn memorial concert was held. Choral oration, His...

Lawrence Awua, the parish priest. “The ISWAP terrorists broke into the premises of...

Harsh sentences and extreme pro-abortion laws remind us that abortion is enshrined in our culture — a culture that is dying from the wounds it has inflicted on itself by a total disrespect for human life.Will Goodman, Matthew Connolly and Father Fidelis Moscinski, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal referred to by the court as “Mr. Christopher Moscinski,” were each sentenced to 90 days in jail and ordered to pay $750 in fines and fees for their role in a Red Rose Rescue this past November at All Women’s Health and Medical Services in White Plains, New York. All three...

A 34-year-old Russian paratrooper named Pavel Filatyev has written a brutally critical account of his time in the Russian army leading up to and during the invasion of Ukraine...Among other things, Filatyev details squalid, unlivable conditions throughout basic training, created and compounded by bureaucracy and ineptitude : I had to run like a homeless from one barracks to another, looking for a bed to sleep in, until I found a place to rent at my own expense There is not enough food for everyone, the potatoes in the soup are raw… the bread is stale We get up at 5...

Last year, the U.S. branch of the Jesuits pledged to raise $100 million for a reconciliation initiative in partnership with descendants of people once enslaved by the Catholic order. On Tuesday, a leader of those descendants expressed deep dissatisfaction with the order’s lack of progress since then. Joseph Stewart, in a publicly released letter to the head of the order, contends the Jesuits have failed to uphold their side of the partnership with the urgency the circumstances demand. Stewart and other descendants are the progeny of 272 enslaved men, women and children sold in 1838 by the Jesuit owners of...

Lindsey selling those Vaccines! It’s a little older, but he should’ve known better. But, per Yahoo, at a Dinner last month, Graham told Trump that he needs to embrace the Vaccine - and Country Singer John Rich got into his face. And, we know that Lindsey didn’t show for a Vote that would’ve defunded Vaccine Mandates - and it passed when he and Romney didn’t show.

It’s ALL about the Spygate documents. It’s all about Crossfire Hurricane and the Deep State’s targeting of Trump. The multi-agency spy operation was spearheaded by Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Brennan, Clapper and others on behalf of Hillary Clinton. President Trump on Thursday shared his “Memorandum on Declassification of Certain Materials Related to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation” to his Truth Social page: MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY SUBJECT: Declassification of Certain Materials Related to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation

We’re in a season right now where, as bad things are happening in our country, there is an opportunity for the church to move. Believers need to awaken from the common, nominal, social-club version of Christianity. Those who are oftentimes coming to church for the social life or the feel-good messages are realizing that they don’t have answers for the problems plaguing our culture now. The hyper-faith and prosperity messages that come on Sunday mornings aren’t cutting it anymore. People are realizing, “Okay, you promised me everything’s going to be a blessing, and this is the year of favor and...
