Last week a judge decreed that the Proud Boy must pay a hefty $1.03 million to a historic Black church in Washington, D.C. The reason? In December 2020, amid a tumultuous protest surrounding the U.S. presidential election, Proud Boys members desecrated and incinerated a Black Lives Matter (BLM) banner from the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, a revered landmark in the nation’s capital. In his ruling, Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz cited the “emotional trauma” inflicted on the church members due to the incident. He put forth a firm edict, effectively barring the Proud Boys from venturing near Metropolitan AME...

The U.S. Secret Service has confirmed that cocaine was found at the White House on the eve of Fourth of July, the discovery of which prompted a West Wing evacuation, according to ABC News. Secret Service agents discovered the substance in the West Wing on Sunday, two days after President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was seen leaving the building, as part of a routine security sweep of the building, and initially suspected it was anthrax, prompting an evacuation of the building. The agency confirmed that the substance was cocaine Wednesday after conducting a drug test, according to ABC News. [cut]...

President Joe Biden has been keeping Hunter Biden in the public eye more than ever despite reports indicating political advisers are concerned about the optics of having his scandal-ridden son so close during his reelection efforts. Hunter Biden appeared on the balcony of the White House on Tuesday night for the Fourth of July, holding his son Beau Biden while celebrating alongside the president’s other children and grandchildren. The president’s son also accompanied Joe Biden to Camp David over the weekend, attended a State Dinner at the White House on June 22, went to Camp David on June 24 and...

The closer we get to the 2024 Presidential election, the more the economy is slip slidin’ away. As Powell and The Gang raise interest rates, the more the economy is … slip slidin’ away. US Manufacturers New Orders YoY in May declined -1.0% for the first time since Covid. But as M2 Money growth slows, its getting late in the election cycle. Too soon?

Why do you think I focus so much emphasis on reminding people the RNC and DNC are private corporations – two private clubs, under the exclusive control of the billionaires who fund them? Here’s why…Laura Loomer is doing a great job exposing how the California Republican Party is changing their delegate rules in order to support the national RNC agenda. The primary date in California was changed to Super Tuesday; as a consequence, the massive number of delegates that come from the populous state will be distributed proportionately, blocking the “winner take all” haul of Republican delegates that would elevate...

[Catholic Caucus] A Rocky Beginning for Tucho Fernandez: Erotic Poetry, "Youth Ministry," and Covering Up for PredatorsThe appointment of Tucho Fernandez as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has met with disapproval across the Catholic world-- even from unlikely sources.The problems began with the resurfacing of Fernandez's 1995 book, "Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing." The book includes sexually graphic, vulgar and disturbing poems written by Fernandez interspersed with insipid attempts at theological insight. Written when Fernandez was a parish priest, this is a book that should have raised alarm bells at the...

"You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house" (1 Pet. 2:5). Christ is your life, and you are an integral part of what He is accomplishing in the world. The Jewish culture of Peter's time centered on the Temple in Jerusalem. Apparently drawing from that picture, Peter used vivid language to teach that God no longer dwells in an earthly, material, temporal house, but in a spiritual house. Christ is the cornerstone, and the spiritual house He is building is comprised of individual believers. That analogy introduces us to the first spiritual privilege Christians enjoy:...

Why does a thread get locked?

This pizza came in hot. A Texas woman shared the shocking moment a pizza deliveryman cursed her out over the $5 tip she gave him for an order she said cost just $20. Lacey Purcival posted the video on TikTok, showing a DoorDash driver she identified as Corey delivering dinner to her home. The deliveryman can be seen ringing the doorbell, and Purcival opening the door and greeting him. After nearly dropping the pizza as he pulled it out of its sleeve, Corey handed over the pie as Purcival thanked him enthusiastically.

Physician, heal thyself. Outgoing CDC Director Rochelle Walensky departed with a warning that we should beware of politicized science and misinformation. She should know. In recent months, we’ve seen a lot of public-health folks quietly rowing back their once-apocalyptic COVID advice and asking for forgiveness for the mistakes they made. Well, to make mistakes is human, and to forgive them is divine. But it’s easier to forgive human mistakes that aren’t pronounced using the Voice of God. And deliberate misrepresentations don’t count as mistakes. Those count as lies, because that’s what they are. In the early days of COVID, Anthony...

A large shark came very close to swimmers at Navarre Beach in the Florida panhandle on Monday. The sighting was caught on camera by Cristy Cox who said the shark was chasing a school of fish. In the video, people are heard yelling to others to get out of the water. Experts say shark sightings are more common in June than any other month because they like to come close to the shore to hunt.

Radio Sputnik called me first thing this morning and asked me to comment on the recent speech in Oxfordshire, England by the Director of the CIA, William Burns. I quickly scanned the news item and assumed it was a joke. I did a quick check to verify that this was a hoax or another clever bit of satire by the Babylon Bee. Nope. Burns really is this fatuous. Maybe the real Bill Burns has been abducted by aliens (the outer space kind).CIA Director William Burns called Russia’s war on Ukraine a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to recruit spies for the intelligence agency.“Disaffection...

Authorities released more information on the cocaine found in the Biden White House. The cocaine was stashed in a “cubby” in a storage facility in the West Wing. The cocaine was hidden in a cubby located in the West Wing and NOT the library.

Wednesday, during an appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, former Vice President Mike Pence, a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, reacted to news reports that cocaine was found in the White House. Pence called for answers and said he expected the outcome to be the same as the answers about who leaked the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision. “Now, Vice President Pence, I want to cover some serious stuff with you,” host Hugh Hewitt said. “But I want to begin with just sort of a counterfactual. If cocaine had been found in the Trump-Pence West...

Lost in the breathless headlines over the indictment of President Trump for alleged violations of the Espionage Act is a story that deserves much more attention than it has received thus far: the allegation that a senior official at the Department of Justice attempted to shake down Trump’s co-defendant’s lawyer. It is a scandal in the making that could result in the investigation of senior DOJ officials, which should lead to public congressional hearings, and that might even result in the entire case against Trump being dismissed. Trump’s co-defendant is Waltine “Walt” Nauta, a Navy valet who served in Trump’s...

(RNS) — Whitworth University, a Christian school affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), has revised its policies to allow for the hiring of faculty who identify as LGBTQ and to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination statement. In so doing, it joins a sliver of Christian colleges and universities that are hiring faculty in same-sex marriages. Last year, Eastern University, a Christian school affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, made a similar change to its hiring policy. Whitworth, which is located in Spokane, Washington, and last academic year had an enrollment of 2,500 students, announced the change on Thursday...

It looks like the efforts of both state and federal governments' to force electric vehicles (EVs) on consumers will be costly without providing any environmental advantages. Everyone knows that EVs are far more expensive to own than gasoline-powered vehicles. The premise that these higher costs will buy a cleaner and cooler environment is erroneous. In an effort to make EVs seem more economical, the federal government offers a $7500 tax credit to those who buy one. Even with this added incentive for purchasers, manufacturers are still taking big losses on every vehicle sold. Ford, for example, currently losses $58,000 on...

President Biden responded to Fourth of July weekend gun violence in numerous Democrat-run cities by pushing an “assault weapons” ban, “high capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, and more. Thirty people were shot in Democrat-run Baltimore at a block party just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Breitbart News reported. Baltimore, like all of Maryland, already has an “assault weapons” ban, “high capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, and many other gun controls.
