NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Crime victims say they felt victimized all over again when Mayor Latoya Cantrell showed up in court to support a juvenile perpetrator during sentencing. “I was in shock. She wasn’t there for us. She was there for the assailant and his mother. It felt like she supported the crime,” says the victim. “Your own Mayor isn’t supporting you,” says another victim. Both women became victims of the same 13-year-old last September in separate incidents. They say he was one of three young gunmen who threatened and robbed them. “I opened the door, and there is a...

[Catholic Caucus] A Vatican II Moment: The Sea Float Mass It's been a while since we posted a new image for our "A Vatican II Moment" series -- but this takes the cake. One year after Francis had the boldness to claim, to our lying eyes, that the New Mass of Paul VI is, "the only expression of the Roman Rite," Fr. Mattia Bernasconi, of the Archdiocese of Milan, decided to celebrate it on a float bed by the seaside in Calabria (southern Italy), as part of a Youth Camp. Right there we see the "elevation of the chalice",...

Liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley has called out Democrat President Joe Biden for leaving billions of dollars worth of military equipment for the Taliban during the withdrawal from Afghanistan last year. As Slay News previously reported, the Department of Defense Inspector General’s report released Thursday revealed that the U.S. military left $7 billion in equipment and weapons behind. Despite having months to prepare for the exit, the Biden administration “took no steps to remove or destroy” our military equipment and “elected to leave this arsenal intact to the Taliban.” Turley said: “Defense Department Inspector General has released its long-awaited report...

Today America lies in a coma in Jacobi Medical Center fighting for its life. Democrats put her there.

Just had an email from my private court source, who to date has never been wrong about either who nominees would be, what the outcomes of various cases would be, or even dates of confirmation (with one exception---he was off by 1 week when it came to Kavanaugh and the Balless Edsel last minute claims). Here is what he said about Liz Clusterbomb Cheney. Read to the end. It's a hoot, and true. "The GOP should make it clear that, if she runs for President, she will not have any vote for her recognized. And Merrick Garland can help them....

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that America was “robbed blind” by fraud with coronavirus relief programs and said that this makes him “a little less excited about the money they’re planning to spend.” He also wondered why Democrats aren’t being “the good government party” they’re supposed to be and Republicans aren’t being the fiscal watchdogs they’re supposed to be. Maher said, “[T]his is the question I asked back in April and I’m going to ask it again, it doesn’t really make me a conservative, does it, that I don’t want to be absolutely robbed...

President Trump on Friday said he will be filing a “major motion” soon in response to the “illegal” FBI raid of his Florida residence. “A major motion pertaining to the Fourth Amendment will soon be filed concerning the illegal Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, right before the ever important Mid-Term Elections. “My rights, together with the rights of all Americans, have been violated at a level rarely seen before in our Country.

Rather than taking responsibility himself, London mayor Sadiq Khan has tried to blame the crime wave ravaging the British capital on the cost of living crisis, after previously blaming the weather.

As the Republican presidential primary for 2024 begins to take shape, former nominee Mitt Romney shared his opinion on the potential candidates, including Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney. After her recent loss to a Trump-backed opponent, Cheney openly considered a bid for the White House — something the 2012 nominee said is not such a good idea. Romney, who represents Utah in the U.S. Senate, told the South Valley Chamber of Commerce in Sandy, Utah on Thursday that Cheney would definitively not be the Republican nominee.
