(Daily readings from the USCCB)As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” Mark 10:46–47How do you pray? Do you ever “cry out” to Jesus with deep conviction and intensity? This blind man, Bartimaeus, sets for us a wonderful example of how we should pray to our Lord. First of all, the blind man was in a state of need. His...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

CHICAGO — During an earnings call with Walgreens investors earlier this year, the company’s chief financial officer opined that his fellow executives may have overstated the effects of organized shoplifting rings on its operations. “Maybe we cried too much last year,” James Kehoe said. Good luck balancing that cheery, non-crying analysis with what you see when you walk into the company’s freshly redesigned store at 2 East Roosevelt in downtown Chicago. In what was once a typical Walgreens, there are now just two short aisles of so-called “essentials” where “customers may shop for themselves.” If you want anything else—a bottle...

It doesn't even matter who it is at this point, because they're ALL the same. Hence the name. The latest are Mike McRomBush and Chris McRomBush, who will join Nikki McRomBush, Asa McRomBush and Tim McRomBush. And maybe Will McRomBush soon. And perhaps ANOTHER Chris McRomBush (which could be confusing) DeSantis isn't a McRomBush but he's surrounded himself with them.

Elon Musk Reveals Line of Code Used to Censor Tweets Containing Certain Key Words Twitter owner Elon Musk revealed that engineers at the social media company discovered a line of code, which was more than ten years old, which appeared to suppress tweets containing specific words. During an interview with The Babylon Bee, editor-in-chief Kyle Mann asked Musk: “One of the craziest things you did when you took over Twitter was start releasing the Twitter files,” he began. “Who takes over a company and then says, ‘Look, how horrible all this stuff is that’s going on’?” “If we’re not going...

That was the response of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s long-running CEO Jamie Dimon, when asked by Bloomberg if he would ever consider running for public office or accept a cabinet position, as the U.S. 2024 presidential race looms.“You know, obviously, it’s crossed my mind because people mention things to you and stuff like that,” Dimon said, reiterating that for now he’s happy where he is, while at the bank’s annual Global China Summit in Shanghai on Wednesday. “I think JPMorgan does a great job of helping Americans and countries around the world, and this is my job.”

Hunter and the Biden family have had several globalist millionaires and billionaires pay their bills, which has allowed the Biden family to escape accountability for their actions.

Kevin Morris is a globalist Hollywood super lawyer with a history of donating large sums of money to Democrats and Democrat operations before his special relationship with Hunter Biden.

Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ) held a meeting in his Washington, DC, office in 2018 with a New Jersey businessman who is at the center of a federal corruption probe into the senator, the Wall Street Journal reported. Southern District of New York prosecutors are investigating Menendez as part of a corruption probe, which reportedly stems from facts similar to a 2015 U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) case against Menendez and Democrat donor Salomon Melgen for conspiracy and bribery. According to the Wall Street Journal: The meeting, which hasn’t been previously reported, came months before the businessman, Wael Hana, secured...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 11 Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer 11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,[a] hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.[b] 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c] And lead us not into temptation.[d]’” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you...

There were 53 shootings in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, including 11 fatalities. It appears the governor’s plan to deploy yellow-vested ‘peacekeepers’ to deter violence and crime didn’t work out too well.

We received the following email from Brian Anderson, editor of the estimable City Journal on the censorship being imposed on author Christopher Rufo, a major writer of important conservative work.. This is alarming, and probably violates the charter of the nonprofit organization DocumentCloud. It represents the exercise of the institutional power of a tax exempt organziation to suppress conservative thinking and writing. Given the politicization of the IRS, it is probably too much to hope for a serious investigation of the tax exempt status of DocumentCloud. But that would be yet another example of the corrupt politicization of the federal...

Five days after the Texas House voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, and after First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster said he would lead the office in accordance with state statute, Gov. Greg Abbott appointed someone else to temporarily lead the office. Abbott on Wednesday appointed and swore in former Texas Secretary of State John Scott as a short-term interim attorney general, citing his authority to do so under Article 15, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution. He also issued a proclamation and in a letter to the current Secretary of State, former state Sen. Jane Nelson, said it...
