[Catholic Caucus] A Catastrophic Pontificate, Undermining the Structural Elements of the Church A Church Shaken to the CoreFr. Benoît de Jorna, FSSPXSuperior of the District of France (SSPX)Letter to Brother Priests, March 2023The pontificate of Pope Francis has just passed the ten-year mark, which is already an honorable length of time. It is therefore possible to take a first look back, as we did last time on the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. To begin with, to clarify our position, we have no personal animosity towards Pope Francis. On the contrary, he has made several significant gestures toward the Society...

New York Rep. Dan Goldman really thinks he has the Midas touch. The multimillionaire Democrat and heir to the Levi Straus & Co. fortune has made more than 500 trades worth between $10 million and nearly $31 million since being sworn in as a congressman in January, a Post analysis of his disclosure forms reveals. As Congress considers a bipartisan bill banning members and their families from trading stock while in office, Goldman’s trading activity would make Gordon Gekko envious, his most recent filing shows. He is already far outpacing notorious congressional super-traders like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and...

Despite Johnny’s outrageous public persona, his marriage to Nora never fed salacious headlines. There’s been only one woman in his orbit.When the notorious Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon) appeared on the fledgling punk rock scene decades ago as the frontman for the Sex Pistols, he didn’t appear as a likely candidate for being fully committed to a 44-year marriage.Instead, he was public enemy No. 1 in Great Britain and was routinely denounced by politicians. He brutally mocked the monarchy in “God Save the Queen” and stirred a cauldron of teenage discontent with songs such as “Anarchy in the U.K.” and...

Legacy media claim so-called ‘election deniers’ are constantly threatening and harassing election workers throughout the country. But the facts say otherwise.It didn’t take long after the 2020 election for legacy media to conjure up a new smear to use against conservatives. For two years, leftists have employed the malicious term “election denier” to silence any American with legitimate concerns about the integrity of U.S. elections. Alarmed at the grossly mismanaged election in Maricopa County, Arizona, last fall? According to the media, you’re an “election denier.” Worried about the real voter suppression that took place in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and Harris...

Greek Venizelist generals Anastasios Papoulas and Miltiadis Koimisis, and major Stamatis Volanis, were shot on April 24, 1935, for a failed coup attempted weeks earlier. The Liberal titan of the Greek polity over the preceding quarter-century, Eleftherios Venizelos had forged and politically dominated the post-monarchy Hellenic Republic. The last of his several turns as Prime Minister had ended two years previous amid the wrack of the Great Depression; now, Greece was led by the center-right government of Panagis Tsaldaris who seemed keen on midwifing the return of the deposed ex-king.* The tense relations between monarchists and republicans were catalyzed by...

Don Lemon has tweeted that he's been fired by CNN after 17 years. In a statement posted to Twitter, he wrote: 'I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN.

NEW YORK, NY — After months of controversy, Fox News has decided to part ways with the only reason anyone watches Fox News. "Yes, we realize he delivered the most successful cable news program of all time, but we felt embarrassed by him at our Manhatten cocktail parties," said Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott. "When we tried to get invited to fancy, sophisticated gatherings, people said: 'Ewwww, aren't you the Tucker Carlson people?' and that made us feel sad. Curse you, Tucker, for making us feel sad!"

Don Lemon was terminated from his anchor role at CNN, he announced Monday. The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career there. And earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air.

Anheuser-Busch reportedly lost more than $6 billion in value after its disastrous decision to partner with trans narcissist Dylan Mulvaney. If there was anything clear from this move, it is that Bud Light’s VP of marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid, who was responsible for the debacle, wanted to push a social agenda rather than cater to it customers base. “Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it was really important that we had another approach,” Heinerscheid said in a podcast interview in late March. In her mind, hiring a man who pretends to be...

The former Louisville police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor has been hired as a deputy in a county northeast of the Kentucky city. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office confirmed the hiring of Myles Cosgrove, who was among the officers who stormed Taylor's home in a 'no-knock' raid in 2020.

Cosgrove was fired from the Louisville department in January 2021 for violating use-of-force procedures and failing to use a...
