A U.S. bankruptcy judge rejected the Catholic church's argument that it should be allowed to keep paying monthly stipends to staff accused of sexual abuse.NEW ORLEANS — A federal bankruptcy judge has ordered the Archdiocese of New Orleans to stop paying retirement benefits to five priests who have been accused of sexually abusing minors or vulnerable adults but are not included on a list of more than 70 clergy the local church considers “credibly accused.” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Meredith Grabill issued the order Aug. 31, rejecting the local Catholic church’s argument that it should be allowed to keep paying monthly...

Russian soldiers are refusing to fight in Ukraine it was claimed last night A video on social media showed Moscow's soldiers surrendering en masse Kyiv's forces said they 'understand the hopelessness of their situation' Russian soldiers are refusing to fight in Ukraine amid Moscow’s rising losses, it was claimed last night. A lightning counter-offensive by Kyiv last week has pushed Vladimir Putin’s invaders right back to the border in parts of the north-east of the country, reclaiming huge swatches of territory lost in the early days of the war. The blitz forced Russian troops to either flee or surrender en...

Russia’s budget surplus for 2022 has almost evaporated after a sharp drop in energy exports during August led to a monthly deficit of as much as Rbs360bn ($5.9bn). Russia recorded a surplus of almost Rbs500bn in the first seven months of the year. But the cumulative total fell to only Rbs137bn last month, suggesting a big deficit in August which economists attributed to sharp declines in oil and gas revenues. Russia’s surplus over the first six months of the year reached Rbs1.37tn as it built a war chest on the back of soaring energy prices. Russian gas flows to Europe...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) legislation that would institute a federal ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy was “really extreme stuff.” McCaskill said, “I think what he thought he was doing was somehow shifting the debate over trying to make Democrats look extreme.”

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Sep 9, 2022 / 12:39 pm Catholic parents with children in college have something other than rising tuition bills to worry about this fall, as some Catholic colleges and universities are adopting “gender-inclusive” housing policies as part of a broader embrace of gender ideology. Sacred Heart University, Saint Mary’s College of California, and Fairfield University are three universities providing a “gender-inclusive” roommate option this school year, which means sharing a dorm room with someone of the opposite sex. Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, offers a gender-inclusive housing option that consists of “two or more students [who]...

Monica Lewinsky began as a White House intern under President Bill Clinton in 1995 Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky said the death of Ken Starr, whose probe of Bill Clinton exposed her affair with the former president, evoked 'complicated feelings' but acknowledged that his loss was "painful" for those who love him. "As I'm sure many can understand, my thoughts about Ken Starr bring up complicated feelings...but of more importance, is that I imagine it's a painful loss for those who love him," Lewinsky tweeted shortly after Starr's family confirmed his death Tuesday at the age of 76...

A senior adviser to the U.S. Census Bureau recalls sounding the alarm about the agency’s population count in 2020. “Me and a couple of other people at the Census Bureau were pounding the table saying there are going to be problems,” Adam Korzeniewski told The Daily Signal. “The sad thing is that no one cared,” Korzeniewski said. Two years later, the Census Bureau has admitted to undercounting six relatively conservative states and overcounting eight liberal states. Critics contend that this inaccurate count now favors blue states over red states in determining Electoral College votes and seats in the House of...

Today, Special Counsel John Durham moved to unseal this motion in limine in the false statements case against Igor Danchenko. This motion provides new information on the details of Danchenko’s lies to the FBI, further information on how Special Counsel Mueller ignored Danchenko’s false statements, expected testimony from Clinton-connected executive Charles Dolan, and one crazy development. But we’ll start with the the most damning development: Danchenko was on the FBI payroll as a confidential human source (CHS) from March 2017 through October 2020. The purposes of making Danchenko a CHS should be quite clear. The Crossfire Hurricane investigation was plagued...

This afternoon, Mike Lindell was surrounded by FBI agents as he waited at a drive-thru window at a Hardee’s restaurant in Mankato, MN. Mike had just finished duck hunting with his friends, one of whom was with him in his vehicle, when the FBI surrounded them at the drive-thru. According to Mike, who claims he’s been waiting for the FBI to arrest him so he can share all of his evidence of voter fraud through voting machines, the FBI did not arrest him but instead threatened him. As Mike and his friends were sitting in the car, they noticed a...

Liz Cheney for the Republican nomination to Wyoming’s at-large seat in the House, is scheduled to speak at a conservative think tank’s event on Monday recognizing Constitution Day. Hageman will be the featured guest at the Heritage Foundation’s online event, titled “Fighting to Protect the Constitution: What Are the Threats and How Do We Fight Back?” Hageman will discuss the “gravest threats” to the Constitution and how conservatives should fight to protect it, according to the Heritage Foundation’s event page.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman said at one point during his political career that he holds a "Black Lives Matter kind of worldview" and appeared to insist that crime rates in major cities are tied to how much they "don't embrace" the movement, calling the notion "common sense." Fetterman's remarks, offered during an interview with The Pitt News in August 2016, came during his tenure as Braddock mayor after he failed to garner his party's nomination for the Senate earlier that year. "Let me take issue with the anti-establishment," Fetterman said. "I never positioned myself as anti-establishment. In fact,...

POPE FRANCIS and HIS CHURCH PLAY an INDISPENSIBLE ROLE in WOKE TYRANNYPope Francis and the Novus Ordo Catholic Church forms a crucial arm of the insane anti-human tyranny which now grips almost the entire Western world (ie Europe, North America and Australasia). The refusal of Church authorities to mount any real opposition to the social revolution that has swept the West since the mid-1960s has left the field open for the most unhinged and anti-Christian ideologies to dominate the cultural landscape. Furthermore, those same ideologies now dominate the seminaries and much, if not the great majority, of erstwhile Catholic institutions....

MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. Kiev will not receive any "security guarantees", in particular, because its draft is essentially a "prologue" to World War III, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev believes. "The Kiev camarilla has given birth to a project of 'security guarantees', which are essentially a prologue to a third world war. Of course, no one will provide any 'guarantees' to the Ukrainian Nazis," he wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday. He believes that the agreement proposed by Kiev is tantamount to "applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact to Ukraine." This article refers...
