The popular conservative social media account Libs of TikTok has already experienced censorship on tech giant Meta’s new text-based app Threads, according to a screenshot shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Libs of TikTok , which is run by Chaya Raichik, posted that “[n]on-binary isn’t real” on Threads Friday morning, and the newly launched app removed it the same day due to its “hate speech” guidelines, a screenshot shared with the DCNF and posted to Twitter shows.

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell said Wednesday on her show “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that it was “pretty wild” cocaine was found at the White House. Partial transcript as follows: MITCHELL: We have just learned that a formal lab has confirmed the suspicion that that white powdery substance found in the West Wing on Sunday was, in fact, positive for cocaine.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s”Deadline” that he believed former President Donald Trump “stole military secrets” and the Democrats should campaign on that in 2024. Swalwell said, “We can’t be too nice with democracy on the line. I think frankly that’s just one of our flaws as a party. We don’t have to lie. We don’t have to be corrupt. We don’t have to make things up. They give us enough material. But a Brit recently said to me, you know, the problem with you Democrats, and this is in a way only a Brit could say it,...

During a portion of an interview with Washington Post columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that was released on Friday, President Joe Biden defended his decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine by stating that Ukraine is “running out” of the ammunition that they need, and “we’re low on it.” Biden said, “[I]t was a very difficult decision on my part. And by the way, I discussed this with our allies. I discussed this with our friends up on the Hill. And we’re in a situation where Ukraine continues...

On this date in 1730, the pirate Olivier Levasseur was hanged at Reunion Island– legendarily hurling into the crowd cryptic directions to his vast hidden treasure. Supposedly a bourgeois son of Calais, Levasseur (English Wikipedia entry | French) made his start on the briny deep as a French naval officer-turned-privateer during the War of Spanish Succession, transitioning to full-time buccaneer after that conflict ended in 1714. By the 1720s — and with a bad eye necessitating that most trite of pirate accessories, the eyepatch — Levasseur had a mixed-race crew raiding the east African coast and the Indian ocean. His...

During Friday's White House briefing, Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the cocaine found in the White House last weekend belonged to any member of the Biden family. Jean-Pierre didn't say "no," but did provide this attempted alibi: "The Biden family was not here. They were not here. They were at Camp David. They were not here Friday. They were not here Saturday. They were not here Sunday. They were not even here Monday. They came back on Tuesday. So to ask that question is incredibly irresponsible." Here's how that unfolded: KJP says that "irresponsible reporting" is alleging...

We can find dry spells plaguing the lives of godly men and women throughout the Bible. This low period in the spirit comes mostly to those whom God intends to use. Indeed, it is common to everyone he trains to go deeper into his ways. As you look back on some of your own dry spells, ask yourself if those times followed a renewal of the Spirit in your life. Maybe you had experienced a fresh awakening, asking the Lord, “Touch me, Jesus. I feel lukewarm. I know my service to you isn’t moving forward as it should. I’m hungry...

From wiki - take it for what it's worth: James Wells, Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland, tells the story of a little girl carrying a big baby boy in his 1884 book The Parables of Jesus. Seeing her struggling, someone asked if she wasn't tired. With surprise she replied: "No, he's not heavy; he's my brother." In a 1918 publication by Ralph Waldo Trine titled The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit, Trine relates the following anecdote: "Do you know that incident in connection with the little Scottish girl? She was trudging along, carrying as best she...

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jun 30, 2023 / 14:30 pm The Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU) as well as numerous Catholic universities blasted the U.S. Supreme Court’s Thursday decision to overturn affirmative action in higher education. In a June 29 press release, the ACCU called the court’s decision “more than disappointing,” saying that it ignores “the more-than-apparent effects of continued racism in our society.” In a controversial 6-3 decision penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, the nation’s highest court effectively struck down public and private universities’ ability to include race-based affirmative action in their admissions decisions. “In doing so,”...

CV NEWS FEED // Senate staffers have told CatholicVote that Catholic Relief Services recently attempted to mislead senators by falsely telling them African bishops were not opposed to the Biden administration’s push to use an AIDS relief program to promote abortions. The House is moving quickly towards a reauthorization of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). As it currently stands, the measure would allow organizations to use grants from the program to promote abortions and gender ideology abroad. Six African bishops joined a number of other African leaders in signing a group letter protesting America’s use of AIDS...

An entrepreneur who previously turned a Miami synagogue into a venue that hosts ‘same-sex weddings’ and other scandalous events is trying to buy the shuttered St. Adalbert Church.CHICAGO — Ever since their parish was suppressed in 2016, former parishioners and others connected to St. Adalbert Church in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood have tried to keep the church building in the community’s hands. But now, St. Adalbert members are facing the prospect that not only might they lose their bid to reacquire the church and keep it as a place of worship, but that it might be put to use in sacrilegious...

Q Thanks, Jen. There are reports of illegal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the Russians. If that’s true, what is the next step of this administration? And is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that’s illegal and potentially a war crime? MS. PSAKI: It is — it would be. I don’t have any confirmation of that. We have seen the reports. If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime. Obviously, there are a range of international fora that would assess that. So, certainly, we...

The pro-life priest said he locked the gates of the facility because Planned Parenthood ‘is in the business of killing.’(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life priest Fr.

On Tuesday, the priest was dealt the punishment in a federal court, months after being found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Moscinski is frequently involved in Red Rose Rescues and “lock and blocks” — forms of pro-life advocacy in which volunteers enter the waiting...

The Multnomah County Health Department will begin distributing tin foil and straws this month to fentanyl smokers at sites across Portland, WW has learned. The “smoking supplies,” which also include glass pipes for smoking meth and crack as well as “snorting kits,” are part of a national effort to minimize the health consequences of drug use. Smoking is considered by many health experts a safer way of consuming hard drugs than injection, and government officials are now seeking to encourage users who haven’t already switched to do so—and to make it safer for those who already have. The Oregon Legislature...
