If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it’s a squirrel. That seems to be the logic Democrats have when it comes to their own corruption. A man can literally be caught red-handed stealing luggage from a woman at an airport, wear her clothes around in full view of the public, and lose his federal job as a result of it, but if he’s a Democrat then he need not worry. His felony will be reduced to a mere misdemeanor. As Bonchie reported earlier, this is exactly what happened to “non-binary” former Assistant...

Shortly before Republicans took control of the House in January, GOP leaders vowed to open a number of investigations into President Joe Biden and his administration regarding their conduct over the last two years. Now, 100 days into their reign, Republicans have opened a flurry of inquiries and have held several hearings featuring testimony and evidence as they push ahead with their agenda. Top Republicans such as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) long expressed their intent to investigate Biden's White House on a variety of fronts, ranging from the southern border to Hunter Biden’s...

SEATTLE -- Prosecutors in Washington state charged former NBA star Shawn Kemp on Friday with first-degree assault in a parking lot shooting last month over a stolen cellphone, saying that a text message Kemp sent just before the shooting showed his intent to confront and shoot the person who had allegedly stolen from him. Kemp was arrested after the shooting outside the Tacoma Mall on March 8. No one was injured, and Kemp's lawyers have insisted he returned fire in self defense after tracking and trying to retrieve a cellphone that had been stolen from him earlier that day. A...

Before speaking recently at an event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, a pastor approached me and said that we had met 20 years ago when I spoke at a particular church in Virginia. Then he said, “You warned us back then about all the stuff that would be coming with gay activism and how everyone thought you were crazy. And now,” he added, “it has all happened.”

A church in North Carolina has again unburdened thousands of families who were struggling with medical debt, setting their obligations ablaze. Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem bought up and canceled nearly $3.3 million in medical debt belonging to 3,355 families. According to the Dispatch, this is the second year that members of the church have taken part in the Debt Jubilee Project, which assumes past-due medical bills of residents in the area.

The first police officer to arrive at the scene of pipe bombs discovered near the U.S. Capitol was sentenced in a January 6th case on Thursday. A federal judge sentenced Michael Riley, who has since retired from Capitol Police after more than 25 years on the force, to 120 days home detention and two years probation. A jury found Riley, 51, guilty of obstruction over the deletion of Facebook messages with a Virginia fisherman who was sentenced to probation for his participation in the Capitol riot. The sentence dealt to Riley, who must also pay a $10,000 fine, is considerably...

The Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III has warned of "unprecedented attacks on the Christian presence by radical Israeli groups". At the start of the year, on Mount Zion, where Christians believe the Last Supper took place, two ultra-Orthodox teenagers were caught on security cameras desecrating graves in the Anglican cemetery. Crosses and headstones were smashed. Israeli police later said two arrests had been made. At the end of January, an extremist Jewish mob hurled chairs and damaged property in violent scenes at an Armenian-owned restaurant by New Gate in the Old City. There were cries of "Death to Arabs, Death...

North Dakota U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hovland issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday that blocked the implementation of the Biden administration's clean water rule, also known as WOTUS. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers published the rule on Jan. 18 that brings the country's wetlands, streams and other waterways under federal jurisdiction. The rule was implemented during the Obama administration and repealed under the Trump administration. Twenty-three states and several organizations joined North Dakota in the lawsuit filed on Feb. 21. Hovland said in his order that the EPA exceeded its statutory authority and could be...

On this date in 1947, former Vichy Secretary of State Comte Fernand de Brinon was shot in the Paris suburb of Montrouge for war crimes. A lawyer and journalist who met future Nazi luminary Joachim von Ribbentrop in 1919, Brinon and his socialite wife Lisette were the toast of right-wing high society in the 1930’s. He even scored a scoop interview with the Fuhrer himself, shortly after Hitler became chancellor. Germany’s rout of France in 1940 vindicated to many of the French right their critiques of France’s decadence; for Brinon, the natural step was support for collaboration, a career-enhancing philosophy...

When Florida House Representative Fabian Basabe came down from his district office at North Bay Village City Hall, the reception he received was anything but warm and friendly. "We are coming to get you," shared Kristen Browde, Miami-Dade LGBTQ Caucus Vice President, speaking... Basabe recently voted yes on House Bill 1423 in State Administration & Technology Appropriations Subcommittee. In part, it prohibits children from attending adult live risque content, which those against the bill believe will target drag shows and the LGBTQ community.

The U.S. military could not achieve victory in a war with China using its current, all-volunteer force, according to one expert. The United States will thus need to radically transform its force structure to better contend with the emerging threat environment, up to and including by reinstating conscription, said Jonathan Askonas, an assistant professor of Politics at Catholic University of America. “This is a five-alarm fire,” Askonas said during an April 11 discussion with the Hudson Institute think tank. “We’re facing global threats and we have a force structure which we know will not work against those threats. “We basically...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)When Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. Mark 16:9The first person recorded in Scripture to whom Jesus appeared was Mary Magdalene. Notably, she was the one out of whom Jesus cast seven demons. Being possessed by seven demons has traditionally been understood to mean that she was completely possessed. Prior to Jesus freeing her, satan and His demons had completely taken over her will by her free submission to evil. And yet, it was to her, a...
