My first two articles in this series have provided information about the accomplishments of Donald Trump’s administration in eight different areas. It is an impressive list, and I shall add to it here. We do have to understand, of course, that much of this is WHY the Left hates Trump. Their anti-capitalistic, pro-China, pro-socialism, hate America, and green agenda were all threatened—especially by the success of what Trump did. So, they had to remove him from power. And they succeeded in doing so—thus far.It is highly doubtful most American people truly know what Mr. Trump accomplished; the mainstream media certainly...

Skeletonized human remains were found in an unused residence hall on the campus of University of California, Berkeley last week, officials said. The skeleton was found in the shuttered graffiti-ridden building on the Clark Kerr Campus on Jan. 10, but it remains unclear how many years the remains were there, police said. The building is a residential hall complex and event space that sits roughly a mile from the main campus and has not been occupied for many years. Police said there are no outstanding cases of missing persons from the Berkeley campus community. University students received a campus alert...

There is no truth to the claim that scientists at CERN are communicating with demonic entities and using the collider to open up a portal to hell, Dejan Stojkovic, a physics professor at the University of Buffalo, told USA TODAY in an email. “To create a black hole or a wormhole, even microscopic ones, with our current technology, in the context of our standard theories of gravity, we need an accelerator as big as the whole universe,” Stojkovic said. “So there is no chance whatsoever to create such a portal at the [Large Hadron Collider].” The collider uses a strong...

One person was killed and seven others were shot at a block party packed with more than 1,000 people celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Fort Pierce, Florida, Monday, police said. All eight of those shot were adults and they were ferried to the hospital for treatment, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Brian Hester said at a news conference. The person who was killed died Tuesday morning, Sheriff Ken Mascara said at a briefing. “She’s a 30-year-old Fort Pierce native who was at the party with her six-year-old daughter,” Mascara said. At least four others were injured...

Pope Francis reportedly delivered a profanity-laden speech to seminarians in Barcelona on Dec. 10, in which he urged them to refrain from being “clerical” and to “forgive everything” even if they believe the person in the confessional has “no intention to repent.”

Illegal immigrants should not get Social Security… (f———g) period.

A visibly dazed-and-confused Joe Biden stared into space for 45 seconds Tuesday as reporters screamed questions about his mishandling of classified documents. “Mr. President??? What about the documents?” yelled one journalist. “Any comment about the classified material?” asked another. Creepy Video at link................ Watch Biden’s bizarre behavior above.

Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A record number of Americans postponed getting medical treatment in 2022 due to prohibitive costs, with lower-income, younger adults and women the worst affected, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. Overall, 38% of those surveyed reported that they or a family member had put off seeking medical care because of the high bills they would incur. That's the highest such response in the 22 years Gallup has been tracking the trend. The 12-point increase from 2021 marked the steepest year-over-year increase so far, Gallup said in a news release. Those putting off treatment for "very"...

Scientists have uncovered a mysterious network of brain connections that is linked to ... schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, OCD and anxiety — that share this underlying circuitry... Some "nodes" in the circuit have been linked to psychiatric disorders in the past, while others...are instead linked to key aspects of cognitive function, like selective attention and sensory processing... The team pinpointed brain regions where gray matter had atrophied, or shrunk, in the context of psychiatric disorders. [T]he disorders still had something in common: the tangled network of wires that runs between all these pockets of atrophy in the brain. The...

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Tuesday she did not know she misled the press about the discovery of additional classified documents in President Joe Biden’s private residence last week after she said the search was completed. During the daily briefing last Thursday, Jean-Pierre misled the American public on six different occasions when she said the search for classified documents in Biden’s position was completed on Wednesday. Reports on Saturday revealed that more classified documents were discovered on Thursday, which refuted Jean-Pierre’s claim that the search for documents was completed.

Ukraine must win the war against Russia in order to ensure that a message is sent to the world that there is nothing to gain from invading other nations, the Prime Minister of Finland said on Tuesday. Speaking with journalist Fareed Zakaria at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Prime Minister Sanna Marin explained that while she doesn't know when the war will end, "we have to make sure than when it ends Ukrainians win."

Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of the Washington Post, which just reported:The D.C. Council on Tuesday voted to override Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s (D) veto of a major overhaul of the city’s criminal code, which city lawmakers had unanimously approved in November despite concerns from court and law enforcement leaders.The bill would, among other things, eliminate most mandatory minimum sentences, allow for jury trials in almost all misdemeanor cases, and reduce the maximum penalties for offenses such as burglaries, carjackings and robberies.Every city gets exactly as much crime as it’s willing to tolerate. And apparently, the voters...

The White House on Tuesday called on Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to make public the details of any agreements he struck with conservative House members in exchange for their votes to win the Speakership. Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates warned that the extent of the deals between McCarthy and the roughly 20 Republicans who initially opposed his bid for Speaker are not fully known, but that they could wreak havoc on the economy and key government programs. “An unprecedented tax hike on the middle class and a national abortion ban are just a glimpse of the secret, backroom...

Joe Biden on Tuesday held a bilateral meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Oval Office. ...... Snip...... Reporters shouted questions after Biden’s meeting with the Dutch Prime Minister. Joe Biden laughed as he ignored the reporters shouting questions about the stolen classified documents stored in his garage next to his Corvette. It appears Joe Biden’s lawyers told him to shut his big mouth about the classified documents scandal. Last week Fox News reporter Peter Doocy masterfully got Joe Biden to admit he committed a crime. Doocy asked Biden last week: “Classified materials next to your Corvette?! What...

A Hummer EV (electric vehicle) reportedly takes days to charge when plugged into a standard wall outlet, a YouTuber claims. TFLEV, a channel dedicated to showcasing electric vehicles, shared video footage on Sunday of the GMC Hummer EV that boasts the largest battery you can buy, the person behind the camera said. “It’s Sunday morning and let’s see how long it takes to charge it just using the truck’s charger and plugging it into a standard wall outlet,” he continued before attaching the charger to the vehicle’s plug.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the discovery of classified documents at President Joe Biden’s home and office make it “very difficult” to hold former President Donald Trump criminally liable for the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “When it comes to these documents, politically, they cancel each other out, which happened before with another candidate, which we can talk about. But at the same time, there are huge differences here. And the difference is that Donald Trump took the documents and refused to give them back.” McCaskill said, “Those of us...

Two contrasting news stories show that the anti-liberty left only cares about power and not about asylum seekers from socialism. Two contrasting news stories show that the anti-liberty left only cares about power and not about asylum seekers from socialism. A report that the U.S. Coast Guard Returned 177 Cuban Migrants to the Communist Island contrasted with one that DHS Is Helping Illegal Migrants Avoid Deportation is direct proof that this was never about asylum seekers. It was always about setting up a permanent underclass to keep the fascist far-left in power until the country implodes, Cloward-Piven style. Cuban refugees...

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, (1 Tim. 2:5) There is no way to adequately explain priesthood without reference to mediation. A priest is a mediator between God and Man. From time to time over the years, I have had the verse from 1 Timothy pointed out to me with the argument that there cannot be any mediator other than Christ, and, thus, there cannot be any such thing as a “priest” within the Church. Sometimes the argument becomes even more pointed: I do not need to go to a...
