Russia has claimed victory in Bakhmut, long a focus of heavy fighting in the war, but Ukraine’s President Zelensky has denied the claims, saying the city is not occupied. “Bakhmut is not occupied by Russia today”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in Hiroshima, Japan, during his visit to the G7 group of nations conference, insisting “there are no two or three interpretations of those words” to dispel any doubt over his assertion. Zelensky said of the battle in Bakhmut, Zelensky said per CNN: “We are keeping on, we are fighting. I clearly understand what is happening in Bakhmut. I can’t...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)“I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” John 16:33What did Jesus tell His disciples that produced the “peace” of which He spoke? He is especially referring to His entire Last Supper Discourse from which we have been reading. The words spoken throughout this discourse are meant to give the disciples, and us, “courage” and the ability to conquer the trouble imposed upon us by the world.Throughout Jesus’ discourse, He especially points to the unity He...

Like the famous novel “All Quiet on the Western Front,” its “All Quiet on the Default Front” as China Joe and Speaker McCarthy are set to meet again. In short, Biden wants to raise taxs on middle class and McCarthy wants to return Federal spending to pre-Covid levels. Sure, Biden throws around the Bernie Sanders’s tax on millionaires and billionaires line, but they know that M&Bs have professional accounts and lawyers to protect them while the middle class has Turbo Tax and H&R Block. In any case, markets are calm (the calm before the storm?) although I think Biden WANTS...

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a photo of herself giving the bird on social media after weeks of Bud Light boycotts sparked by her collaboration with the brand. Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, have faced weeks of backlash after they sent a personalized can to Mulvaney to celebrate her "Day 365" of becoming a woman. After Mulvaney shared the brief video on Instagram, many expressed their fury at the partnership, which led to boycotts across the country. Mulvaney has spoken out a couple of times about the situation involving the Bud Light backlash, explaining why she took a...

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, whose conservative party scored a landslide election victory Sunday but without the seats in Parliament to win outright, indicated he will seek a second election in a bid to consolidate victory without a coalition partner. Mitsotakis´ New Democracy party was a full 20 percentage points ahead of its main rival, the left-wing Syriza party, nearly complete results showed. But a new electoral system of proportional representation meant his 40% vote share still was not enough to secure a majority of the 300 seats in Parliament. To form a government, he would...

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who is a leading candidate to replace ailing Sen. Dianne Feinstein in California, called Sunday to pack the Supreme Court by adding new seats and filling them with liberal justices. Lee’s call amplifies the effort by Democrats, including House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), to counter the Court’s conservative majority by creating a new, artificial liberal majority. Since extremist groups captured the courts, Justices have thrown out years of precedent to overturn Roe, gut voting rights, strike down common sense gun safety laws & more. It’s past time we expand the court, pass...

When Andrew McCabe, former deputy director of the FBI, was fired in disgrace in 2018, it was commonly assumed it was because of the “Russiagate” investigation. After all, he essentially ran that fiasco, which Special Counsel John Durham definitively noted this week was a baseless farce. But no. McCabe was fired because he serially lied to investigators that he wasn’t leaking investigative information to the media. More telling was what he was lying about: an FBI investigation of foreign efforts to influence a presidential campaign. Not Donald Trump’s campaign. Hillary Clinton’s. It’s just part of the many ways the FBI...

It’s safe to say that at no time in human history have more people been better fed than are in our current era. So of course the left has to make sure that doesn’t continue. John Kerry, the man who has almost perfected the art of looking down his nose at the commoners so very far beneath him, told a group of co-elitists at a recent climate summit that, in the words of a Reuters reporter, “c​​utting greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production is essential to the global fight against climate change.” In Kerry’s own words, he claimed “we can’t...

As Christianity has declined in the United States, other faiths have moved quickly to fill the void. In previous articles, I have written about the explosive growth that witchcraft and Satanism have both experienced in recent years. But Christianity’s main rival in the U.S. is neither one of them.

One of several strategies currently being deployed against the American people The Cloward-Piven strategy was developed by Richard Cloward and Frances Piven in the 1960s. It outlines a strategy for radical social change by way of abusing the system to the point of destruction. Report ...

That day started out like any other. The morning hustle and bustle of modern people living in a modern age began as they boarded their motorized chariots and underwent the hellish voyage into the urban sprawl amidst a sea of red lights. Tens of thousands of their fellow citizens made their way to each of their respective livelihoods, all thinking today was likely to be identical to the day before. The normalcy bias of the modern era was not so much indicative of the lack of perspective this generation held too, but that the overload of daily information made it...

Former deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn – unjustly forced from office, offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the deep state that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don't want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and AG. Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about “protecting democracy” from Donald Trump. Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute...

Hollywood always seems mystical and magical to most Americans, including us. Then as we get older, we realize just like in the stories, all things magical come with a price. Though try as it might, Hollywood can’t get to everyone. Corin Nemec, or as we most fondly remember him as Dr. Jonas Quinn from Stargate SG-1, recently dropped a tweet full of truth bombs and a typo, which he fixed later, but mostly truth bombs. 🤣👍 Recap: Wuflu is man-made, laptop is real, Russian Collusion is not real, Intelligence community is corrupt, Boarder is wide open, Globalist Agenda for World...

As discussed here many, many times, the big problem with generating electricity from wind and solar sources is that they are intermittent. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. And sometimes they don’t work for days on end. The times when both wind and sun fail at the same time for multiple days tend to be concentrated in the very coldest days of the winter. This poses a huge problem for central planners’ dreams of “net zero” electricity. Try to solve the problem with grid-scale batteries, and suddenly you’re talking wildly unaffordable costs in the trillions of dollars. Not to...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 9 Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging,...

The China Manned Space Agency (CMSE) last week put out a call for low-cost cargo haulage services to its space station. The announcement said Beijing wants cheap transportation to Tiangong to foster commercial space activity and enhance the space station's activities. The deadline for applications is July 15, so there's not much time left to sketch out the required spacecraft, launch vehicles and launch support. According to an accompanying technical guide, Beijing has set the price it's willing to pay at $17.1 million per metric ton of cargo. That's far less than the commercial services used by NASA to service...
