ACI Prensa Staff, Apr 5, 2023 / 15:20 pm The dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, hasn’t declared a truce in its persecution of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, not even during Holy Week. Félix Maradiaga, a former political prisoner and also a former presidential candidate who was deported to the United States, told ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, that the dictatorship expelled Panamanian priest Father Donaciano Alarcón from the country on Monday of Holy Week. “They took him over the Honduran border. His ‘crime’ was that at Mass he prayed for the release...

WASHINGTON – A new batch of classified documents that appear to detail U.S. national security secrets from Ukraine to the Middle East to China surfaced on social media sites Friday, alarming the Pentagon and adding turmoil to a situation that seemed to have caught the Biden administration off guard. The scale of the leak — analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained — along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging, U.S. officials said. A senior intelligence official called the leak “a nightmare for the Five Eyes,” in a reference to the United...

A single mother of five filed a lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Human Services Monday for allegedly denying her adoption application due to her religious beliefs, according to a press release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Jessica Bates, a single mother of five, who also lost her husband in a car crash six years prior, attempted to apply with the department to adopt children in 2022, according to the press release.

The Board of Trustees for Social Security now predicts that the program will run out of money to pay beneficiaries by 2033. The problem is "higher-than-expected inflation rates and lower-than-expected output growth. The mechanism for restricting the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the lesser of the increase in consumer prices or wages enacted in 1983 won't be enough to stave off bankruptcy. Some new way of decreasing the benefits paid out must be implemented." Secretary of the Treasury and Managing Trustee of the Funds Janet Yellen pointed out that "when Social Security was first enacted in 1935 average life expectancy...

A new paper from Germany posted on April 5, 2023 proves that the spike protein accumulates in the brain and causes death of brain cells (which would certainly explain a great deal of what we see around us). (click here) Key findings: “Our results revealed the accumulation of the spike protein in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma.” “The injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue.” “we observed the presence of spike protein in the skull of deceased long after their COVID-19 infection, suggesting that the...

Caitlyn Jenner, who has strongly criticized the inclusion of men in women’s sports, sounded off on Twitter over the NIKE partnership, saying it contributes to the erasure of women. “As someone that grew up in awe of what Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke! We can be inclusive but...

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at Nashville’s Fisk University Friday evening and pushed for background checks, red flag laws, and an “assault weapons” ban. C-SPAN aired her comments in which she referenced the Christian school shooting numerous times but never mentioned that the shooter was a 28-year-old transgender person. Moreover, she never mentioned that the transgender shooter planned to “commit mass murder,” according to police. Harris also omitted any mention of the fact that the Christian school shooter got her guns legally, which entails passing background checks.

Remember the George Floyd riots of 2020? I do. Vast swathes of my city were burned down including a police precinct–a first. The City of Minneapolis actually evacuated and abandoned a police precinct and let rioters burn it down. It was pretty traumatic for the city. It took days to get the city back under control. The National Guard had to be called out, and even then it took days to retake the city. I lent my neighbor a gun. As a Black man, he was surprised I would and very grateful. We were in it together, protecting each other...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” network anchor Jen Psaki previewed her interview with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) that will air on her show “Inside” on Sunday. Introducing the video, Psaki said, “What we talked about during this interview which will air Sunday, is this fight against authoritarianism, what we have seen in Tennessee. The need to speak out on the need for gun reform, the need for women to have the ability to make decisions about their own health care, for LGBTQ rights. That is not just a blue-state campaign. So he went into the heart of a bunch...
