Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili announced on June 12 that his country is considering a draft law that would put an end to the country’s booming foreign surrogacy business. The Health, Labor, and Social Affairs Ministry’s current law would put an end to the country’s women carrying and delivering the biological children of foreigners after 2023. Gharibashvili cited several reasons for the law change, including safety concerns, human trafficking risks, and the fear that children are going to the homes of same-sex couples. “There are reports that same-sex couples are picking up the babies born here and there can...

[Catholic Caucus] Mass… no mas… in St. Peter’s for the end of the Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage this year. Wherein Fr. Z muses about an alternative.Yesterday The Great Roman™ informed me of the news that for this year’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage in October (I hope to be there), the locum tenentes of St. Peter’s Basilica have forbidden the celebration of Mass in the Vetus Ordo.I was told that the reason for not allowing the TLM in St. Peter’s for the Pilgrimage is that the Synod (“walking together”) on Synodality (“walking together-ity”) ends the day before.So, obviously, there can’t be a Mass...

Two IRS whistleblowers leveled serious allegations about Hunter Biden and the government’s investigation of the troubled first son, according to transcripts of testimony released this week. The whistleblowers, IRS supervisory criminal investigator Gary Shapley and a second unnamed IRS investigator, provided evidence to the House Ways and Means Committee that top Justice Department officials stonewalled an investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes and foreign business ventures. They also call into question President Biden’s repeated denials that he has no knowledge of his son’s business dealings. Here are 16 of the biggest revelations from transcripts of their interviews: Hunter linked dad to...

As millions pro-life Americans across the country celebrated the Dobbs decision protecting babies from abortions, someone set a Catholic Church on fire in Orlando, Florida. The attempted arson follows over 300 pro-abortion acts of violence against pro-life groups, churches pregnancy centers and pro-life individuals. That and the fact that the church was set ablaze on the prominent pro-life anniversary makes it appear likely that a radical abortion activist was responsible. The fire at the Incarnation Catholic Church in Orlando, Florida caused severe damage to botht he inside and outside of the building and was reported late at night on Saturday...

But the walls have fallen, the dams have burst, and there is no end in sight. In accordance with the late Robert Conquest’s Third Law of Politics, we are now ruled by a cabal of our enemies. As they were in National Socialist Germany, the universities have become hotbeds of intolerant socialist orthodoxy. Thought-crime laws are being bruited world wide; the concept of “protected classes” makes a mockery of equality before the law. George Floyd, a obese, violent drug addict who died in police custody after the commission of a crime, has become a secular saint, the apotheosis of “blackness”...

Another Hunter Biden WhatsApp message was released by the GOP House Oversight Committee on Tuesday. In a WhatsApp exchange dated August 3, 2017, Hunter Biden told CEFC associate Gongwen Dong: “The Biden’s are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this [partnership].” The “Chairman” is Ye Jianming, a Chinese billionaire tied to a CCP-intelligence gathering agency. Ye Jianming is presumed dead after he ‘disappeared.’ The next day one of Hunter Biden’s shell companies, OWASCO PC, received $100,000 from CEFC, a CCP affiliated energy company.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – A member of South Dakota’s House of Representatives District 1 went on a podcast recently and claimed that Mount Rushmore is a “freemason shrine” and a portal for demonic entities to enter and spread communism throughout the country.

Leave it up to The Atlantic to tell us we've got too many food choices in a grocery store, and for our own good, we ought to have less. That's pretty much what writer Adam Fleming wrote in his plaintive cry against too much choice at the grocery store. On a recent afternoon, while running errands before I had to pick up my kids from school, I froze in the orange-juice...

The capture marks the first time since Russia’s invasion in February last year that Ukraine’s forces have been able to retake land seized in the initial Donbas invasion eight years prior. Ukrainian troops were said to have liberated the lands last week, but news of the victory has been kept secret until now for tactical reasons.

Roseanne Barr, 70, has shocked her former fans again after some confusing comments about the Holocaust during a recent podcast appearance. “This Past Weekend” host Theo Von might have found himself lost in Barr’s byzantine bit about “bulls – – -” surrounding the 2020 election, as the comic commented on different concepts and perceptions of “truth” in America and on how social media platforms can limit discussion of different topics. “Like for the real truth that, you know, and I’m glad that they did set up all these guidelines so that we only are allowed to speak the truth,” Barr...

The Instrumentum Laboris is set to guide discussions between all the participants at the October Synod of Bishops, and presents numerous non-Catholic talking points.VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – The key document which will guide the October meeting of bishops in the Synod on Synodality highlights topics such as women’s diaconal “ordination,” married priests, and a need to “welcome” the “remarried divorcees, people in polygamous marriages, LGBTQ+ people.” Issued at a press conference June 20, the Instrumentum Laboris (IL) or working document, is particularly lengthy: with a 10,000 word foreward and a further 17,000 words in the worksheets, which contain the themes...

If one believes that the one true god has commanded such killing (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), then to engage in it is a blessed act, and such killing would be a fitting gift to others who also believe it to be divinely commanded. “Farewell Gifts To Buhari, Ors: 700 Christians Slaughtered In May, 1,100 In 60 Days And 2,150 In 160 Days Of 2023,” by Emeka Umeagbalasi, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, June 12, 2023: "Fulani Jihadists Slaughtered 700 Christians As “Farewell Gifts” To Nigerian Radical Islamic Leaders The Nigerian radical Islamic leaders who marked...

Trump has talked about getting this done. It was debated a lot in the first year of the GWB Administration, and I believe John McCain cast the vote defeating it by voting with the Democrats. Why didn't President Bush try to get this passed again once the Republicans had control of the Senate after the 2002 Midterms? Was this Bush not fighting the Democrats?

In the world of all things wonderful and green, the biggest push has been to hasten the demise of the internal combustion engine and the chirpiest assessments have been how EVs will save the planet. From California to New York state to the federal government and internationally, the powers that be have been on a tear to declare the ICE deadly and obsolete, while the EV in all its incarnations is the future. Perhaps the bloom is coming off of that overly optimistic and premature rose. Some EV business models aren’t motoring along as well as previously anticipated, even with...
