Yes, this really came from Josselyn Berry, the press secretary of the governor of Arizona. Yes, this really came after a transgender assailant murdered three children and three teachers in Nashville. And yes, you can bet your bottom dollar that the national media — which normally would scream if any Republican at any level in or out of office did anything like it — will remain silent for as long as possible over it (via Ed Driscoll): A social media post from Gov. Katie Hobbs’ spokesperson suggesting the use of violence against those who disparage transgender people has prompted a...

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is a straight-shooting national treasure complete with an incisive wit and dry sense of humor. He has displayed these talents throughout his time in the Senate whether by stumping unqualified Biden nominees and or in interviews with reporters. On Tuesday, he made disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas his next victim. Mayorkas was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. As Jim Hoft reported, Mayorkas was already having a rough day after Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) nuked him over the growing number of dead bodies at the southern border. Cruz left the open borders Mayorkas...

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs' notoriously progressive press secretary Josselyn Berry tweeted out a photo of a woman pointing two guns in response to what she considers to be "transphobia." This comes just one day after a trans school shooter gunned down three children and three adults at a Christian private school in Nashville. "Us when we see transphobes" the tweet read. The image appears to be in violation of Twitter's policy against violent threats which states: "You may not threaten to inflict physical harm on others, which includes (but is not limited to) threatening to kill, torture, sexually assault, or...

President Biden’s job approval rating remains underwater while most Americans disagree with his handling of foreign policy and the economy, according to a new poll. The Gallup survey released Tuesday showed 40% of Americans approve of the overall job Biden is doing, the sixth consecutive poll where that number fell between 40% and 42%. The president’s Gallup approval ratings have been mired in the 40s since August 2022. At the same time, his disapproval marks have stayed in the 50s, hitting 56% in the latest poll. The 80-year-old’s handling of some of the most consequential issues facing the country also...

(Last Updated On: March 27, 2023) National Pita Day is on March 29 and celebrates the dipping, scooping, and wrapping of as many ingredients as we can think of into this delicious bread. We want everyone from around the globe to celebrate with National Day Calendar as we indulge in a prehistoric delight from the Middle East. #NationalPitaDay Pita has rich roots dating back about 2.4 million years ago during the Stone Age. Evidence shows the Natufian people in the region that is now Jordan, made a kind of flatbread from wild grains. However, unlike today’s pita bread which forms...

US metro office vacancies hit an all-time high in Q4 2022 and office properties values began to decline as The Fed retreats as it fights inflation. So much money printing. Its The Fed’s claim to fame.

Why the synod process will eventually fail Early this month, a colloquium was held at Boston College called “The Way Forward: Pope Francis, Vatican II and Synodality”. The gathering was the second meeting of this particular group of 80 participants to discuss synodality, the amorphous call by Pope Francis for the Church to “walk together”, to continue the reception of Vatican II. In an article about this in America Magazine, the author captured my attention with this comment:“I confess that I was not as enthusiastic about the synod process as some of the participants when I first arrived…the concept...

After Monday's mass shooting at the K-6 school at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville, trans activists are doubling down on calls for bloodshed, putting their support behind the murderous woman who took the lives of 6 people. This follows a rise in threats leading up to this week, which has been branded by activists as a "Trans Week of Visibility." This week of protests and violence is supposed to be capped by a "Trans Day of Vengeance" outside the Supreme Court on Saturday.

Colion Noir makes it plain, that gun-control legislation would not have stopped the murder of children and staff at Nashville Christian School.

A staffer for Sen. Rand Paul who was stabbed outside a Washington, DC, restaurant by a just-released convict over the weekend underwent multiple surgeries after suffering a deep wound to the head and injuries to his abdomen and lungs, according to his uncle. Tim Todd wrote a Facebook message Tuesday asking for urgent prayers for his nephew Phillip Todd, chief economist for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “Phillip had surgery last night on his ear, and is scheduled for another surgery this morning in his abdomen,” the uncle revealed. “His lung is collapsed and his skull...

[Catholic Caucus] Easter Triduum at the OK CorralAbove: the OK Corral sign after the 1882 fire.What is “schism?” The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines “schism” as:The refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him (2089).We tend to think of schisms as involving disputes over points of dogma. One of the Greek schisms, for example, stemmed from disagreement over the word filioque in the Creed. But note that the definition of schism says nothing about disputes or dogma. The essence of schism is the refusal to submit to the...

(Last Updated On: March 21, 2023) NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY National Vietnam War Veterans Day on March 29 honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the longest conflict in United States history. #VietnamWarVeteransDay On March 29, 1973, combat and combat support units withdrew from South Vietnam. Generations later, Veterans of this time period are gaining the respect that was not so freely given upon their return. Involving five U.S. presidents, crossing nearly two decades and 500,000 U.S.military personnel, it left an indelible mark on the American psyche. Returning veterans did not always receive respectful welcomes upon...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson this week expressed doubts over the impact of continued U.S. assistance to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, calling the war unwinnable for either side and suggesting the warring nations need to negotiate an end to the conflict.“At some point people are going to have to understand the reality of the situation,” the Wisconsin Republican told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday. “I don’t see a scenario, and I’ve asked — I mean, where is there a path to victory from our standpoint? All I see is a grinding stalemate that day-by-day more people...

Joe Biden said he's going to make people pay their fair share in taxes. He's going after billionaires- you know, those making over $400K per year. But you know what a galactic liar he is. That won't get the money he needs. He needs you and your money. Biden had proposed tracking bank accounts which saw transactions over $600 but backed down. Then he launched a tip reporting system to bring the hammer down on wait staff. Yellen admitted that 90% of the new audits will be of those making less than $400K. The pinnacle of Biden's revenue enhancement efforts...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31–32These words have the potential to make a transforming difference in our lives. Note that Jesus spoke these words “to those Jews who believed in him.” That is, those who had accepted His word and were, therefore, His true disciples. We who also believe in Jesus should consider these words carefully. The heart of this teaching is twofold: you must come...

We often approach God with preconceived ideas of how he will receive us. For example, if we have done something to grieve his heart, we may feel that he loves us but will be slow to forgive. Jesus clears this up with the parable of the prodigal son. The story goes that the young man “arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him” (Luke 15:20 NKJV). I believe the prodigal came home because of his history...

Is NBC News kidding with this piece about the trans community post-Nashville? The real victims of the shooting at the Covenant School, a private Christian academy, is the LGBT community, and how they’re now gripped with fear because one of their own decided to murder some kids. Audrey Hale was the perpetrator of this heinous attack, which left six people dead, including three schoolchildren. The attack was intentional. Hale had maps and scouted other locations to commit this act of violence; she picked Covenant because the security situation was laxer. Hale was identified as transgender, went by male pronouns, and...
